Nigeria makes less than 25 billion dollars a year from oil .......for a country of 150 million that's nothing ...that should be Lagos revenue

Until every Nigerian pay average of 150,000 naira in tax its impossible to develop this country

Looting of crude oil and massive corruption should first be addressed then standard of living / purchasing power of Nigerians should be significantly enhanced before you talk of taxation... Which might end up in personal pockets anyway.... Inflation going up, earning power going down... Poverty stricken citizenry... Yet they'll have to pay tax for sending text messages among other tax burdens...

Who are the big men behind our oil theft?

naughtyguess:


That's a very myopic point view, we are competing with nobody and we don't need 150k tax to develop. Abuja is developing without 150k tax, same as Lagos, go and check Ogun state now. We just need sincere leaders who can take us one step ahead at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day!

Wetin u dey talk seff... Where the development

mrvitalis:

That's y it's average pay a percentage of what you earn 20% ...if u warn #1000 paying #200 from that won't kill you na or would it ?

If u pay #200 someone who earns one billion would pay 200 million and you both benefit same from government

Nigeria is archetypal of a failed nation. All these thieves could care less. They just want to steal some more before we finally bid farewell to this thing we call a country.

Rubbish talk

Nigeria has the biggest oil reserves in Africa but who’s cashing in?
Nigeria is Africa’s top oil producer and has its biggest economy.
But it’s also coping with crushing levels of poverty.
So where does all that oil money go?

NOwazobia:
Then first eradicate corruption before talking of taxes.

Well yes. The lower corruption there is the more confidence citizens have towards taxes. However, it’s a bit of a chicken and egg as eradicating corruption will always be an ongoing activity.

The government needs to be very very intentional around both and do them simultaneously.

What says the vulture suya man, abi na deiziani thief this one also.

Reference:


Exactly what I have been saying for years and shouting from the roof tops when we they were flying Mr. Buhari's anti corruption toga like a kite. We told them that corruption was not the problem of Nigeria but STRUCTURE, one not attuned to productivity.

Can you remember the infamous Obi's debate with Mr. Osinbajo and the tale of the rats in the shop....
I bet Mr. VP will be gobsmacked at what has befallen Nigeria after their anti-corruption crusade and the 'wealth' it has brought Nigeria....

And where will revenue come from if not productivity, the productivity primarily anchored in the roots of industrialization from which all other branches of the economy spring forth.

And where will industrialization come from, what will trigger it, yes, big budget infrastructural expenditure and here lies the twin follies of poverty that has crashed our economy today.

Our industrialization drive and infrastructural spending failed to meet our biggest wasteful expenditure, we did not invest in petroleum refining insisting on railways instead and after borrowing heavily for that, we gave everything over to the chinese to build robbing us of the industrial trigger required to build a productive economy.

This is where intelligent, visionary leadership is critical. Leaders who know INDEED how to create wealth, how to build economies from scratch, how to wean this country from consumerism, rent-seeking and round tripping....

100% agree. One aspect of our problem stems from a lack of identity. Are we a socialist economy or a capitalist one? On one hand we seem to want to run things from a socialist perspective, for example, keeping refineries that haven’t generated income in decades, or operating our health and education system strictly on Government funding, petrol subsidies and the likes. Challenge is we don’t have revenues to support these things at a decent level and it further discourages productivity as you’ve rightly said.

Also, the citizens themselves seem to want intellectual leaders but we don’t end up voting for any. Without becoming political, we’ve never had a truly intellectual President in my opinion. This is a problem as politicians will only make decisions that serve their interests even if it is against the greater good. Putting in a productivity based structure means vested interests can no longer induce votes with money, garri and rice. It makes power/elective positions less attractive to individuals who want to enjoy the largesse of power, rather than work for the good of the nation.

We need to wake up as a people and begin to make the tough decisions needed to move forward.

It's not about tax but export

Yes let the poor get so angry they begin to hold there leaders accountable since there little money is now involved

Lies
There are nations that you don't pay tax
And in countries where U pay tax ,it is to augment what Govt is doing .....social services : Health care is free , education is free or heavily subsidized ,etc
Hence the benefits of the tax far outweighs the amount paid
Not here where U pay tax for some people to loot and use to buy private jets etc

Where are all the missing money, they’ve done their research very well, “where’s yours”?
Oil companies are sabotaging by paying less tax , why not start from there?
Corruption causing redundancy on the economy why not fix it.
These loopholes should fix.

Pay such tax for what? Did government ever use this your "less than 25billion dollars" to alleviate poverty? Or they are all stolen and stashed away in foreign Banks? So only tax money can develop a country? I don't know which economic text book you are reading.

God abeg arrange a WWF RAW wrestling between Devil and Bubu when he goes down beneath the earth. he has finished this country.

The Coward Principal and Simpleton complex:

For instance, you have impounded a ship filled with illegally obtained Nigeria crude oil. You've detained ship crew from Asia. You have your evidence - solid material evidence at least!

Yet some Nigerians are more interested in Fictitious Nigerian insiders that presumably facilitated the foreigners theft of Nigeria crude oil assets. I use the term Fictitious since unless you provide hard evidence in the form of detained Nigeria oil theft facilitators, your accusations are effectively fiction. Are the foreigners in hand not worth more than the alligations in NNPC ?


By the way , you can as effectively deter oil stealing by handing out stiff sentences to those foreigners accepting undocumented bootleg oil as those providing the undocumented oil. Perhaps we lack the national significance in the international community to not only prosecute foreigners stealing our oil to the fullest extent of the Nigeria law but to do so in an air of public fanfare.


Nigerians continually enable trouble in Nigeria by consistently pointing fingers at one another and ignoring the external trouble fermenters or formenters, whichever is the more accurate term.

Thanos5555:


simple the oil money has been under the control of mostly Northern Fulani Leaders, whose original country of origin is either CHAD, NIGER, OR SOMALIA. unfortunately they have been deceiving the HAUSAS that the money is coming NORTH, but then they use the back door to send it to thier original FULANI country.

now is ATIKU looks strong to win 2023 elections, his brother is a senator in cameroon, let that sink in.

the HAUSAS should know the southerners are silently watching them, when FULANI empty all the resources and migrate to thier countries, they will settle our score with them for being Dummies

Interesting facts!But where are you people getting these details? The truth is that the handwriting of atiku becoming the next president is clear on the wall! My people this is an eye opener.

black men and corruption.

When you tell them about how bad they have performed, they will called it racism or a malicious report. It's called corruption fighting back, We know your likes.

Can you tell Nigerians one thing that is working under this administration?

HOW many nigerians make 150,000 monthy?

Those Malaysians and Indians on the oil tanker impounded in Guinea, what happened to them? Why is Nigeria not showcasing them? What makes Nigeria smarter than India for instance that parades so called Nigerians with drugs publicly and make it an international issue known by the entire world?

When you read about Nigerians caught in India with drugs plastered all over social media, do you ever consider that they may be the victims of India corruption? Do you not instinctively see the Indians as sweet innocent people being targeted by evil, corrupt Nigerians? Do you routinely think that Corrupt Indians are behind it all, demanding drugs for distribution in India and exploiting Nigerian mules? Or cooperating with South America drug lords that use Nigerians as middle men?

Why does India not privately arrest and prosecute these Nigerians and publicly hold themselves accountable and blame themselves for the drug trade in India?

Why do Nigerians never demand that Nigeria charge and prosecute arrested drug lords, terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, Oli smugglers publicly so that justice is seen to be done by as much of the public and international community as possible?
