We spend all the money in the world to carry contigents to several countries to beg them to bring in their funds and invest here. Then we chase those who accept to come. Do we think these nations are stupid? Can you count how many serious investors have fled in the last 20 years? ShopRite has sold out. We once flew Virgin Nigeria! They didnt stay here for 10 years and they vowed never to come back. Where is GSK? Where is Unilever? We just want to run a 'satchet economy' here. Sad. Chase them away and be wonering who will employ your citizens.

This Peter Mbah strikes me as a very clueless Governor.

He seems like a student of Tinubu/Lagos politics and has no idea of his own.

Namaster:
That is ILLEGAL.

There is NOTHING like purchase tax in Nigeria. Companies like ShopRite are taxed under CITA in Nigeria. They pay to FIRS, not SIRS.

That is, their taxes are to be remitted to FG. Not states.

So what Enugu State is doing is EXTORTION.

And ShorpRite should sue them into bankruptcy. If for no other reason, for disturbing their business because of money they'll embezzle anyway.

The tax charged and printed on the receipts, who is it paid to?

ShopRite is owned by a Yoruba man. it was bought when SA exited the Nigerian market and had to sell it...

I know you all already have it registered in your mind that only Igbos have businesses but Yorubas don't make noise. 🥴

You just listed few Supermarket and you concluded that Yorubas own more.

NO. All Yoruba people only do business inside lagos, in fact those in oyo , ondo ekiti and ogun has to come to Lagos before they can do business.

Absolutely correct!

Good jobGood job...

It is this types of stories that shows boldly the hypocrisy of some people. This story is finding it difficult going beyond the second page.
If it were to be elsewhere, emergency political analysts, bedroom economists, and half baked graduates would have been weeping about why this should happen at this time. They would have waited about how this will kill the economy of the state and what not.
But now, all you read is, correct, right thing to do and all the rest.

Indeed, if you doubt the existence of hypocrisy then, come to Nairaland.

Are dey sure of dis. ShopRite with doings, dey might vex and decided to leave Enugu again and people will lose their jobs again 🤣🤣🤣

Follow dem Gently

Why art thou looking for Peter u Obi's trouble

given that inflation is a form of tax its not profitable for any foriegn company to do business in Nigeria high inflation if they are going to be taxed also. Companies who need to change thier money to forex will be lucky to make profit in Nigeria.

Lols you people are playing with someone whose name is egwuonwu ( death dance )

If this happens in Lagos, Tinubu and Sanwolu for done hearam

If these happen in Lagos, they will.be attacking the governor for marginalization. I'm waiting for the chemical reactor OBIIf these happen in Lagos, they will.be attacking the governor for marginalization. I'm waiting for the chemical reactor OBI...
