Tinubu na Agbado Man truly.

Even though say I no dey support am oo....Tinubu isn't a Tribalist.

We forget so soon sha..... He had some Easterners in his Cabinet.

Some LG Chairmen in Lag are from the East.

BlueRayDick:
Things dey happen for this country sha

Until you can tell me what % of your income you currently pay in income tax, you will be put on the naughty step and ignored.

What your smooth brain is unable to understand is that the FG is subsidising too much relative to how much it earns. This does not preclude corruption from happening.

But when you see multiple presidents telling you fuel subsidy must end, including all 3 candidates in this election, when you see VP Osinbajo begging CBN to stop burning billions trying to prop up the Naira, when you see ASUU striking for months because FG can't afford to pay staff, it shouldn't sound too crazy to you to realise your country is broke.

When you hear CBN telling you that NNPC hasnt remitted monet into its accounts for months, and when NNPC comes back with a rebuttal that all its revenue is being used to service Nigeria's fuel subsidy commitments, then you should have a sense of what is really going on.

You are a gbolo complaining that fuel prices are at an all time high. What do you think kept them low in the first instance? To put in perspective, here in the UK, 50% of the pump price per litre of Petrol goes straight to the government in Tax.

Not only are the UK government not subsidising our petrol, they are literally doubling the pump price per litre through taxation.

You have never lived in a real capitalist society so you can't understand what I'm talking about. If FG were to let market forces run unfettered in that country, you would be crying tears of blood.

nihilistjnr:
I've asked you TWICE now what percentage of income tax you pay, and TWICE you have been unable to answer.

That is not a surprise. This isnt a topic for people who dont know how real life works

nihilistjnr:
Bro the question first and foremost was what percentage of Income Tax do you pay?

The UK government subsidises less than the Nigerian Government whilst taxing significantly more.

Do you know what it means to pay 45% income tax? Then National Insurance tax? Then Council tax? Even flipping TV tax to the BBC? Road tax for my car

I run my own business
Through my company I pay
Corporation Tax @ 20%
VAT
Employer NI Tax @ 15% on employee salary


After paying all of that...then I have to pay personally
Income Tax on my salary starting @20%
Dividend tax starting at 7.5% for the first 40K earned in the tax period and then jumping straight to 37.5%
Council tax almost £2k a year
TV License £159

Now imagine paying this in Nigeria. I'm sure that you cant...but there is an expectation for Government to provide amenities and services. How is this funded?

nihilistjnr:
How much do you pay in income tax %?

nihilistjnr:
Petrol costs are at an all time highbecause Nigeria can no longer afford to subsidise petrol, and its going to get worse.

Compare tuition fees at private universities to public universities, private hospitals to public hospitals, etc.

It's clear that the Government is heavily subsidising public services, as bad as they are.

DontBullshitMe:
What I always notice from "most" of those running in droves is that : they always ensure they get their subsidised tertiary education from the "LOW QUALITY OF LIFE" country before leaving.


This conversation is above your pay grade. Give it a rest.

DontBullshitMe:
Nigeria was already subsidizing his tertiary education. Why should he deserve a student loan again?

That's the problem of majority of Nigerian citizens/voters - excessive entitlement. This country is already doing too much for its citizens despite the fact that majority of the populace pay no direct tax.

Tertiary education - subsidised
Fuel - subsidised
Healthcare - subsidised
Forex (dollars) - partially subsidised

The people are not paying the real price for the products they consume and the services they enjoy yet they keep breeding to increase the number of beneficiaries... How country wan grow? It will breakdown at a certain point.

Go and sleep young man you lack the range to engage.

You can't disrespect my religion which is the basis of my existence and you expect me to be friends with you, my allegiance is with those who don't speak ill of my religion. For those who are ignorant they're excused and advised sincerely but should they persist to ridicule my belief then there's no benefit in being friends with such people. Ma Salaam

For the juju doesn't exist geng

BlueMann:
Yeah. Thoroughly enjoyed the masterclass from Hakimi and Messi, them two are gonna have to be at their best for PSG to stand a chance against Bayern.

BlueMann:
PSG don enter serious wahala. Their squad has been ravaged by injuries and suspensions.

Super goal from Hakimi though.

MorataFC:
The teams above us refuse to drop points, but we drop points in almost every game and some fans still believe we will make top 4. How is that possible?

popizaino:
I know your frog eye is not functioning, just give someone by your side with a seeing eye to tell you what happened here. Ode!
