This government is just the worst government Nigerians have faced. They are "legitimately" stealing us blind by budgeting for useless things. Budgeting billions for computers like there are non in the agency, budgeting billions for uniforms? Are those gold made uniforms? The more you know what is happening in Nigeria, the angrier you get about the country. Mr President please wake up. NIGERIA is SINKING on your watch!

Outrageous! How can 1.3 Billion be budgeted to clean and Fumigate Firs Offices when even Sambisa forests cost less to Fumigate this simply is just a case of indirect robbery I mean tax payers funds end up been used to abundantly facilitate needless Government workers Senate in it's wisdom ought to have scrutinized this outrageous budget and reduce it to the accountable Minimum

Good observation. And also imagine the agency is to spend 188k for just a driver uniform. With 25k I will provide a good quality uniform and a shoe for a driver n about 163k saved. We are finished in Nigeria.

It’s truly crazy. Are you Gbagyi?

This is just a clear example that states don’t have the capacity to collect VAT.

Criminals blaming other people for their own criminality, Maybe the people working @ firs are Ghanaians & Cameroonians? Where your mama & papa dey work?

vanbonattel:
Oh!
Niger Delta Oil money

Mumu What does FIRS have to do with oil money? Too many of these children on Nairaland are just daft dummies.

It's very pathetic.those who are supposed to fight for the masses are benefiting ; they will look the other way and the vicious circle continues

States that cannot pay teachers & pensioners, I wonder where they will get the money to pay their new tax collectors, I am quite sure they will come & beg the Federal Government to come & loan them money?

Your logic is completely backwards and makes no sense! Maybe your dry dusty state has no capacity but definitely NOT states who are willing and are able to start.

Your silly post has swipes of green envy....that is foolish son.

Mindlog:
The agency set aside N1billion for generator fuel and N250 million for maintenance while a separate N550 million was set aside for purchasing more generators......

They still set aside 1.4billion for electricity bills

God punish every single legislator that will approve this day light robbery and looting..

What is all this impunities all about with this present administration.. everyone looking at how to cash out big time and we have mr intergrity in this country.

Fantastic corruption

If my Dad or Mum works there, that wouldn't have stopped me from calling them out. However, it is wrong for you to have insinuated that I am a criminal because I am stating the obvious!

Zico5:
Nigeria on the free for all under Mr integrity. I know for sure that posterity will judge this vegetable president. Under his maladministration, to live has become difficult, yet his goons are looting from one angle to another. The price of common commodity is unreachable for common man but yet they lack decency in their daily living. They preach we should bear their hardship yet they are living extravagant lives. They will all die miserably in Jesus name.

AMEN and AMEN!!!

This is d agency that generates revenue to d FG and No comment

DubaiLandLord1:
If you no Sabi person, FIRS no go ever employ you

Funny thing is that those who works for agency like FIRS also joins other Nigerians to complain about govt.

As long as the budget defence goes fine, and the expenses balance up in the aftermath, then good, else EFCC should do the needful

Nuffing go happen because Nigerians are inherently docile! How much was allocated for education, healthcare, infrastructural upgrades, housing..? The mumu in Nigeria never do. Una eyes go see una ears soon! Let the looting continue until Nigerians irrespective of their party affiliations wake up to demand for accountability from their leaders.

Nigeria! Eni orí yo… ódi’lé.

Sonoyom:
Buhari has widened the floodgates of looting.

......and opened the gates of hell!

iLoveYouToo:
FIRS has over 5 offices in Abuja metro, I wonder what they even need all those offices for

FIRS in Kano state has over seven offices. I don't know what they do with those offices. Kaduna is not different.

This country is nothing again...... My wife, friend father was chatting with a senator and he ask what is the future of this country..... he said he won't lie to him that this country has no future that they have spoil things of 30years to time, he doesn't think this country can't balance again..... make everybody just dey plan to Japa

..because the FIRS generated N4.95 trillion in 9 months alone, but NASS and the Judiciary generated ZERO kobo, they are useless, corrupt, incompetent and inefficient, also, the states you listed are almost non-viable states.

They have more workers and scope of responsibilities than NASS and the judiciary combined

The FIRS don't sit around like the useless institutions you listed, they work hard, they collect every Naira and kobo that keeps Nigeria going, including to pay the salaries of the useless over budget NASS and the judiciary and state allocations.

These attention-seeking headlines are mostly ignorant with lack of context and basic common sense

If this will bring about effectiveness, why not?

Useless CEO, Is that how you run your company?

Your argument is always irrational and surprisingly you always spew then with bold face.

You said FIRS is working hard and I ask how when the tax system is already automated with them using less effort in taskforce operations.

Maybe we should scrap Legislative arms in a democracy so that the presidency you blindly support would add the work of legislator to it's work.

Nass comprises of HoR members, Senate members, Nass Staff, National Assembly Service Commission and NILS, what is the staff strenght in 36states combined with their head quarter?

Many of your likes are nothing but a vampire to this nation

Of course, maybe we should scrap FIRS too and just let machines collect our taxes.

FIRS collected N4.9 Trillion in 9 months last year.

The budget for IRS in the US is N5 Trillion, more than what our own FIRS collected in one year.

IRS workforce is 74,454, that's a massive workforce even with all their technology.


Do you not think the US with all their machines and technology should also get rid of their workers and let machines collect their taxes also?

Always put things in context before you open your mouth, don't just read headlines ad start blabbing and doing follow follow with bandwagon..

Enough to loot....
