Most Nigerians dont like paying tax because the governments havent been using it for what its meant for. Instead they embezle it.
So paying tax in Nigeria is like just dashing your money to a random man on the street for no reason

if you talk about people with questionable character Buhari won't be were he is today . Infact he should be dead by
now for treason. The reason most Nigerians don't want to pay tax is because our public offices lacks credibility and integrity. Nigerians feel they are enriching the political class and that is true.

BlackyOne:
1. Multiple taxation
2. They know these taxes go into their colleagues pocket.
3. They also know that these taxes doesn't reflect in the development of the country because of them and their colleagues

Op, I earn my income in country my business situates and pay taxes there. If I earn income in Nigeria, I pay taxes to FIRS. If my investment in UK makes profit, why should I pay double, one to UK and another to Nigeria? You are not learned enough forthe topic you embarked on

I think you should make specific references because everyone on that list has a unique story.

As for Peter Obi, he has already explained his in that video posted here yesterday.

According to him, when the company that operates an offshore account was floated, he lived in London. You cannot be based in London and be paying taxes to Nigeria.

He added that the company was operated that way based on the professional advice of a consulting firm (he gave its name), noting that it was never unlawful to do it. He also said that the company wasn't used to launder money before, during and after his term as governor.

To date, I will continue to hold Peter Obi and Donald Duke in high esteem because they are the only two former governors who are active in politics and weren't invited by the EFCC for money laundering scandals after spending 8 years in office. That's commendable!

Sense is not common...I don't expect you to understand my disorganized incoherent submission here. It will take you many years to understand it because first must have to study Accounting and then understand Nigeria political space.
You are not supposed to understand it.

Senseless to you, but have you asked yourself how the developed nations you cherish so much get to where they are now? Where do you think developed nations get the money they used to develop their nations aside mineral and human resources that you have in aboundance?

If you tax the rich the poor won't have to suffer.

You make a terrible representation of Accounting as a choice of study.... With your type, studying Accounting (assuming you're the average graduate) is unadvisable if this is the quality Accounting breeds

KingOfAmebo:


The question is, Since taxes are ment to cater for the development of a country as obtainable in developed nations, Why would our so called businessmen, politcians and clergymen chose to pay taxes "secretly" to economies of other countries while leaving the country they claim to love impoverished?

"The difference is you are doing your business openly and paying the right taxes as when due, but our businessmen, politcians and clergymen are doing it secretly to cut corners...Why would you trust them if all they do is cut corners?

Now tell me, who is more learned on matters as this?". - Village People spokesperson.

MT:


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.

obailala:
Stop trying to mask your disdain for those men under the guise of some fake hypocritical patriotism. Nobody in the world, no matter how patriotic, would choose to pay double tax all because of patriotism - that would amount to sheer stupidity. Not even you woukd do that even if you had trillions.

For patriotism, they might choose to sponsor developmental projects or charities, but expecting a person to intentionally pay more taxes in their business, that's arrant nonsense.

By the way, what do you mean by saying those men are contributing to Nigeria's bad economy by not paying double taxes? You see why I said your personal disdain for those men is clouding your rationality?

It's a stoopid post. Op wants someone to invest in this country without level playing field, where a rich few are given import waivers and allowed to have monopolies.

It's worse than a senseless post.
