I'm talking about the Tax you talked about, concerning the budget for health, you and i know that this government doesn't give a hoot about the health sector even education.
You can see that in the president incessant need to travel out for medical care

Then vote them out in 2023...and vote someone else.

Don't bother me about it...I'm not in government, nor did I vote for APC or PDP for that matter.

This man was very power even more than the president. He makes decision later for him.., Bush was just a drinker and a fiend! Even Rumsfeld was until his wife changed his life for the better!
He was America de facto president

1.When we are ready to pay the tax rate that would earn us enough money for good health care.

2.When we are ready to pay the excessively high insurance premiums the average American pays for health care in the USA....

Healthcare in the US is good...but Americans pay heavily for it...even when they have insurance. (There is a reason why many Americans want universal health care..but that means high taxes as in many European countries).

Buhari is bad, but you cannot get US health care at a budget of $3 billion. We need a budget of $100-200 BILLION before we can see some good health care, and that involves major changes in our economy from an resource dependent to a productive industrial economy

You mean, we need a budget of $200 billion before we fight budget padding and corruption in the public service, and maximize budget utilization? Before we can achieve a healthcare equivalent to South Africa? Before we can attract foreign investment with stable and friendly economic policies? Before we can stop the social media war and find creative ways to attract up to 1% of the $300 billion dollar annual internet advertising revenue?

Go and meet your maker and account for your deeds. Except you are not guilty as alleged, I believe Almighty will ask you to account for those souls lost due to your decisions.

And to others like him, who wrecked havoc on defenceless people, remember all of you (indeed all of us) too shall taste death and account for our deeds.

1.SOuth Africa spends far more on health than Nigeria...$4 billion for a population less than 50 million Nigeria $1.3 billion for a populaiton of 200 million or more.

2.I used 200 BILLION because you were intially comparing us to the USA in your original comment. Develoiped countires spend at least $100 BILLON for health care.

3.Thats why we need to stop being oil dependent, raise our tax to gdp ratio and be more realistic.

Raising taxes or fighting corruption in the tax system, you mean? Lots of companies and individuals pay tax which doesn't get to the government. Nigeria tax rates are similar to the US, why increase it further rather than fight the corruption in the system and make it more effective while also making more Nigerians taxable, and finally making budget more effective to deliver goals and not to be padded with so much corruption?

One of the hawks behind the Bush administration. Guy was as ruthless as George Bush. They have the blood of innocents on their hands and now its time to answer for that. The same will happen to all the killers we have in uniforms in this country killing people for these devilish people we have in government. One day you will answer for all those souls which you gleefully killed. And the useless politicians you kill for will not be there to answer for you.

All these your prepositions was only possible if Nigeria ws corruption free or Atleast minimally corrupt, raise the tax and see the hawks steal them away creating more penury and poverty, I guess you're a Nigerian living in Europe or USA who doesn't know the reality in Nigeria

Our tax rate is not similar to the US and even if it was, the US has a higher GDP per capita than we do

Also, we have a tax to gdp ratio of 6.1% (lower on a state by state basis), while the US has one of 24.5%

If we want to be like the US also, US is an industrial economy, which exports. Nigeria is a resource dependent economy, whose income is affected by the extreme volatility of the price of its resources.

Like now, in my lifetime, oil has been as high as $145 per barrel (2008) and as low as $24 in 2020. That does not do wonders for the revenue overall.

That's how these Illuminati guys operate.

They create a problem.

People respond to the problem by reacting.

These same illuminati guys will now offer a Solution to the same problem they created.

It has always been the same process all the time.

And it has been working for them.

The COVID19 SCAMdemic is the most recent PROBLEM they created.

And the goal is to take away People's Freedom.

As you can see, so far, it has been working...

"The lord of war is Donald Rumsfeld, one of the dogs of the devil."

- Hugo Chávez

This notorious war criminal just died and unfortunately not in the jail of the International Criminal Court, ICC.

Donald Rumsfeld was one of the war criminals that orchestrated the Iraqi invasion using a fake Israeli Intel. More than one million Iraqis died. This Chemical weapons vendor was a devil incarnate.

Yesterday the Hell was warm as one of the devil has arrived. Rest in Hell!

You keep mentioning tax to gdp ratio without mentioning corruption on the same line. What's the reason for the low tax to gdp ratio? is it because Nigerians are paying enough taxes or because these taxes aren't being captured effectively? For instance, everyone has to file taxes in the US every year while in Nigeria, there's no system to ensure that people are paying taxes, and those taxes actually got to the government. Nigerian Ports Authority, Immigration and Customs, Road Safety, IRS, NIPC, NNPC etc are all revenue generation agencies, but what effective mechanism is deployed to ensure at least 95% of taxes paid by Nigerians are captured? Also, yes Nigeria has similar tax rates as the US. Check the personal income tax rates:

The irony of life;both predators and preys go the way of mortals,it’s only a matter of time.
But with Jesus,the prey will have the last laugh,that’s why the Apostles were singing and rejoicing when being martyred( Stephen-Acts 7:54-60). You can enjoy this eternal benefit today,right now by rejecting every of your sinful way of life and accepting Jesus as savior and LORD.

Na small sense.


There was actually a weapon of mass destruction and they found it and neutralized it.


It was found inside a hole instead of a bunker.


But your small boy sense no go allow you decode it.
