Na wao- and you want the country to develop?

Do you know where other countries get their resources from? from tax, everything in the UK is taxable, if not, where will the UK without mineral resources like oil, get their money from? You want government to do things but you dont want to pay tax? What sort of question is that? Part of the civic responsibility of a citizen is the payment of tax- so, how do you want to justify the non payment of tax by people?

for the rich and the middle class to pay tax is okay but the orginary market woman should be excluded.

Payment of tax is not my problem but the MULTIPLE TAXING SYSTEMsad

1) Income tax,
2) Value-added tax,
3) Tenement rate,
4) Custom and excise duty,
5) Vehicle Licensing fees,
6) Advert charges,
7) Land use charges,
cool Payment for land survey,
9) Payment for certificate of occupancy ( c of o) and
10) Drivers' Licensing fees

I am an Engineer but the tax experts can help me to complete the list to infinity. shocked
If it is the same way they pay multiple tax on a single salary in advance countries, then we better stop copying them.
Funny enough, we have nothing to show for paying more than we earn in form of tax to the government.

[center]NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT SCORE CARD[/center]

[center]EDUCATION                 = 20%
HEALTH                        = 22%
WATER                         = -20%
ROAD                           = -10%
HOUSING                     = -25%[/center]
[center]ELECTRICITY                = 5%
TELECOMMUNICATION = 30%
BANKING                      = 5%
AGRICULTURE              = 0%

This is IT, in no time we will be asked to pay for AIR (OXYGEN) USE CHARGES.
Where are we going?
It is left to us to answer the question: Should We Continue To Pay (MULTIPLE) Tax?
If you become the next president of Nigeria, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee do something about the MULTIPLE TAXING SYSTEM
and use our taxes judiciously.
