And our tax to gdp ratio is very low, our tax rate is low, and 70% of Nigerians do not pay taxes to federal and state government

And yet, you expect miracles with the tax rate we have? With an income that is 80% from oil.?

Okay.

Following the recent rise in cost of Tuition fees of Nigerian public universities, former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has compared Nigerian universities' cost of tuition with cost of tuition of other countries' universities, IGBERETV reports.

Taking to his Twitter page, Reno wrote;

Throwback:
As at 2010, session fees in Unilag for returning students was just N10k.

Yabatech that is even a Polytechnic was around N20K.

You can imagine how badly Unilag was underfunding itself, despite its students priding themselves as the richest in the public university system.

marenkurz:
Germany is tuition free. Semester contribution in University of Cologne was recently increased to 320€. That covers transportation and cheap food at canteen.
If your income is low, you could also get exempted from the fee. Plus the federal government gave 270 euros last semester to help every students, including international students.
Reno should be lying to you guys.

GoodGovernance:

Now we are getting to a common ground.

Govt at all levels should focus on improving our tax to Gdp ratio to atleast 15% as recommended by world bank,for a starter.

If other nations have achieved higher tax toGDP then Nigeria can!

Ihenzy:

They pay 42% tax. Do you pay 42% tax?

Westernlove:


You made some points.

But Is It from the N18,000 minimum wage a lot of Poor people would pay N50,000 to N100,000 tution fees from??

The Truth is Nigeria can never Work. Disintegration is the best solution to the Contraption.

There is a lot of Re-Formation and Re-Orientation which need to be done on Human Capital. A lot of Nigerians are damaged In and Out.

If the Nation still exist in the next 100 Years, Same problems will still keep existing.

I have no problem for increase in education fees but is Nigeria ripe for that? A country where we have over 20 million of out-of-school children with inflation skyrocketing everyday. Even those that went to school can't find jobs but go to the uneducated skill workers to learn informal jobs for survival. They should try to create jobs and increase civil servants salary to for them be able to pay their children's school fees, that's my own. Otherwise, more drop outs loading as schools start hiking fees with this harsh economy robbing every penny that enters our accounts.

Then stop complaining about bad education then. And stop complaining about half baked graduates

It's what we can afford , since 'we are poor' in your opinion.

nairalanda1:


Ghana's minimum wage is $40 per month.

Nigeria's minimum wage is $38 per month....just 2 dollars less.

Yet Ghana pays university fees that are 25 times higher than ours...not two dollars higher than ours.

And Ghana is just as broke as we are...plus petrol is N800 per liter there.

Better realize that their minimum wage is just 2 dollars better, not 25 times ours.

God Nigeria🇳🇬 is gone for ever

Let's be honest people are really suffering

Who ever is supporting this nonsense tinubu is doing... Him,His generation and posterity shall inherit hardship with premature death...

I think we are just taking Reno's data without crosschecking...
Ghana's average/mean salary and value should be the indices here not minimum wage .

Google - https://bdeex.com/ghana/
would show it's around $320 not $65

In all wages needs be improved and fees raised to sustain the educational system.

They will never agree with you because they never moved out of their closet.
I paid through my nose in UK.
I paid for my energy where I used my television as my light in the room else you pay more for your electricity.
Payment for rent was weekly
You pay for everything.
You will never appreciate your country until you travel out.
Please don't get me wrong, our leaders should improve more on present situation but it's not too bad as it portrayed.

Throwback:
OK.

We know things are cheap here.

Truth is we have become used to paying next to nothing for everything.

From house maids and other domestic servants, to fees we pay artisans doing plumbing or carpentary work etc.

We should improve the standard of our education, so that Nigerians who are ready to pay thousands of dollars abroad can come back to pay similar amount within the Nigerian education system.

The only thing I would plead for is that firstly, loans should be available for those who want a university education but cannot afford it. And I believe that has already been signed into law.

Secondly, their should be enough local scholarships to aid very brilliant students who cannot afford it. All the Nigerian entities should stop all foreign scholarships and focus on local scholarships within the soon to be costly tertiary education in Nigeria.

Enough of cheap but worthless education.

Enough of subsidizing education for Nigerians who want to go work abroad with colleagues who themselves are using their salary to repay loans they took to have an education.

We should stop subsidizing the work force of developed countries.

You really want to go down this "we are good citizen route?. We do everything right its just this useless government setting us back..yes?.

You don't want to know how many citizen will go to jail in Nigeria if the country laws are enforce as regards tax and proper standards. How many company small medium are running without proper certification or license. Hence invade tax. In law active country you are tax unbelievable at all front and you dare not skip any. How many molue bus running do you think have papers, commercial taxi keke, bike e.t.c.. The rule is for you to generate at your individual level and the government tax.

But I dnt want to go into anything much. I don't think the government is the best but we are not the best of citizen either. A little gratitude with regards the little we get from them won't be out of place.

Government cut you slacks beyond what you know or understand. Subsidies exist far outside the confine of patrol. Its all almost at all level.
