So if I own a business in Ghana, should I pay the taxes to Ghana or Nigeria? This una agenda no gree agend no matter how hard you try. The businesses are abroad, so paying taxes there and also in Nigeria is dumb as it amounts to double taxation. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Pandora pandora tax wahala. As Accounting graduate tax is not something business and individuals are happy to pay. There are legit ways of bypassing them let alone if they can be avoided totally. Taxation in Nigeria give tax wavier to individuals and companies if the donate to certain organizations and claim some condition approved by law to beat down tax. What l want to hear is Peter Obi loot govt money like Abacha or Ibori and the money is about to be send home . All these pandora blablabblab that he has offshore account or do this and that is rubbish It will not prevent him from any political position. If those in kano caught on video pocketing bribe is still a governor is it someone private business strategy that should border us. 8 Likes 1 Share |

The one you have paid what do they have to show for it? Your tax was supposed to provide: Roads, security, electricity, water, affordable transport facility (like air, rail and sea travel), jobs, cheap forex for import, standard hospitals etc. My question is: What happened to the ones paid? 3 Likes 1 Share |

KingOfAmebo: Who said they’re cutting corners? Offshore banking is not cutting corners. As a business man, one cannot keep excess cash in your country of domicile. As a man, putting all your eggs in one basket is tantamount to failure as in the case of dwindling exchange rate in Nigeria. Now imagine all that USD savings offshore in Nigeria Naira? So you expect those who’ve worked legitimately to save for their future, to have their savings rubbished by your ignorant government and their economic policies. The poverty mentality of a lot of Nigerians expect every rich person to be generous and help the poor or the country. Ogbeni, you need to work your ass off yourself anywhere on earth. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

SmartPolician: The more you look, the less you see. Peter Obi was just trying to launder his image which has taken a hit. Let the Govt takes him on, then you will see his hidden dirts in public. His explanation is not credible. We all know what and why they have secret accounts hidden in offshore accounts. |

KingOfAmebo: Ask yourself what have the political billionaires don with our taxes if not to loot it? You want wealthy businessmen to pay taxes and the lazy clueless politicians will loot it to finance their reckless life style. Is our taxes being used efficiently and our economy is like this?What modern infrastructure will our country be proud of? They will pad budget ,inflat contracts and govt will not bring them to book. This nation is a big scam. Why is govt not fighting corruption holistically? |

You claim to love Nigeria, but are one of those contributing to her badly performing economy. This is to Obi and Oyedepo. Two men who display so much self righteousness, but who are actually not selfless at all, but selfish. 2 Likes |

KingOfAmebo: You have asked the same question to my mind. It is ethically immoral and irresponsible to hide in supposed tax havens. These people are robbing the country. You enjoy benefits of the land, you make money from the land, you charge people of the land yet you hide your proceeds. You run afoul of the law in most cases... Even Jesus said pay unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's... |
