BeachTime:Anambra has a population of 4.2 million and has the most valuable resources of all ...human resources If the average anambra person pays 180,000 tax per year ( average ooh ...some go pay 50 million so pay 10,000) that's 15,000 tax for the benefits of the states That's over 2 billion dollars ...in 10 years 20 billion dollars ...federal allocation can take care of wage .... Over 750 billion for capital development per year ...tell my why it won't be Dubai in 20 years time Japan ,England was built on this idea 8 Likes 1 Share |

The only reason Nigeria won’t develop anytime soon is because of the unitary system of gov’t we operate....a system built on nepotism, ethno-religious sentiments and quota-system! As if that wasn’t enough, they went and added huge overhead/personnel costs with a huge federal civil-service and multitude of unviable little fiefdoms that pass for the 36 states! And don’t even get me started on the wasteful democracy we operate, with the 4 yearly cycle of 8 Likes 1 Share |

BeachTime: Nigeria will pay the painful price for lack of diversification of its economy over the years. How can a country of over 200 million people depend on oil as the largest source of revenue. This is a recipe for disaster. A economic tsunami is on the horizon. 3 Likes 1 Share |

IGBOSON1: And to make things worse, the value of oil will soon depreciate as the electric car revolution is coming sooner than anticipated. We have been running a mono Economy and unitary system which will backfire in unimaginable ways. 4 Likes |

One thing I have told igbos in the past is that we have the ability to build critical infrastructures that we need for development. Owerri Airport was built by indigenes under Sam Mbakwe administration. Just all the money that is collected by churches on just one Sunday alone is enough to build all the power plants the south east needs. This is including tithes and offerings. We need to start using our Human Resources for our own benefit. 3 Likes |

Anambra can start borrowing from richer states like Singapore or China without the FGs aprroval. Hanoi in Vietnam did so, now they have better infrastructure... The state needs an ambitious developer like Herod the Great or the Dubai sheiks. Sometimes one needs to think outside the box. Taxing the indigenes wont give any significant modern infrastructure boost. Borrowing from China or even from hedge funds on Newyork stocks is the best option. Or why not adopt this approach by a downtown district in LA. They approched chinese investors, gave them incentives of 10yrs tax free and told them to develop 7 twenty five atory high rises in an area. The Investors agreed and viola the area is now Modern. 1 Like |

nijabazaar: And what collateral or leverage will anambra offer the lenders?. |
Re: - by nijabazaar: 2:20am On Nov 17, 2019 |
mrchineke: Anambra can begin by offering them land and a tax haven for 10yrs in exchange for world class infrastructure. Have you been to Djibouti lately, half of tge new high rises is based on this approach. Besides who needs FGs aprroval, since laws are taken for granted in this country. Anambra should go ahead and apply the approach jare. |

BeachTime: Absolutely. I am a strong believer in group economics. There is an African proverbs that says: “ if you want to go FAST, go alone but if you want to go FAR, then go as a group” This idea of me, myself and I has to stop. If people start consciously pulling their resources together, they can develop their society without waiting for oil money. 1 Like |

mrvitalis: You hit the nail on the head. Trust factor is the reason why people don’t want to pay taxes in the East. If you establish a system of trust and verification and effective utilization, people will happily pay their taxes. But I believe the money is there considering how many businesses exist and thrive. |

Op, you'd be surprised how many highly educated and productive Nigerian expatriates around the globe would send more capital or relocate home if the security and corruption issues continue to improve. I see the giant of Africa becoming a top five nation in the world in a relatively short span of time when or before things start clicking on all cylinders. Nigerians zeal, hustle, and intelligence is second to none on the planet. |

mrvitalis: Even if they can, can their tax generate £1b a year? The answer is no. What Anambra needs is to Borrow from China or make it self a tax haven like the Bahamas for foreign investors to invade. Taxing thr citizens wont garner £1billion |

The thing about Nigerian government is that they want us to pay more for a perceived development. They should first develop, then ask us to pay more and we will gladly pay 1 Like |
