He wasn't phycologically balanced before na! All those celebrity hypes where all shinanigans! Guy needed mental help from day one. They discovered that and left him since they can't really package him with his state of mind.

Gana101:
He needs medical help not money

Trumpoteux:

How do you know?

VAT is paid globally. Is it only Nigerians that pay VAT?

Taxes are normal. Every person earning an income should normally pay tax.

The problem is that our tax system is very inefficient and most people end up not paying taxes at all.

Yes, the government is trying to be clever by half by taxing us for making deposits in banks. But that's because they've been unable to properly tax most of the working population.

My point is, taxes are not a bad thing. It's fundamental for running a sane society.

Can you please state where I said taxation is bad? Did you read to understand my point at all?

lexy2014:
If u aren't going to go into d specifics, how then did u arrive at ur responses? Did u consult d firs and state councils before u arrived at your conclusions about who is paying tax and who isn't?

What are you dragging actually? Can't you read between the lines?

Why do okada men suddenly revolt when their local transport union increase their daily levy from say 200 to 500 one morning?

People care deeply about money that directly enters their pocket. It's the same everywhere from the time of Jesus till now.

I agree with you. We need to have an employed and productive population to tax them. But even at that, a significant amount of Nigerians, especially those that aren't salary earners still don't pay taxes. And many think it's wrong to tax them.

We've been running this country mainly on proceeds from oil, and look how far it got us.

You are still getting it wrong. Paying taxes does not literally mean a better life. What guarantees a good life for the people is good governance! Do we have that in place at the moment? Point is, how is attacking from the bank account angle an even sensible thing to do Is that where their brain lead them. As in go through bank accounts like everyone with bank accounts are taxable. Mumu thing..

joey150:
Most Nigerians still don't pay tax.

That's why when someone steals 50 billion nobody cares but once you add 50 naira to fuel everybody comes out to protest.

You obviously don't understand. Nigerians are one of the people that pay tax the most in the world! Just check how many VAT Nigerians are paying before you say all these you are saying. Most workers in Nigeria pay tax because it is deducted even before they get paid. Any banking transactions now is taxed wether you like it or not. Deposit money, they will tax you. Withdraw money, they will tax you. If we don't care that they steal our money, then why are we always crying foul?
Or do you expect us to start stoning the politicians when they are passing with their always very strong security details? So what exactly are you saying?

aspabay:
Anything to check money laundering, corruption and scams is welcomed

So how does this change anything? Because you just come and drop this comment here as if you've said something! Explain how this take fight corruption na?

joey150:
Don't you get it?
If more people paid taxes we would have more participation of the populace in government.

Most people don't care because they don't pay tax. If people cared enough Nigeria would be sane.

You are getting it wrong here. People pay taxes from prosperity. Where is the prosperity to tax from? And how do you mean people will participate more? By taking elective offices or protesting? I guess you are an ideaologist and not a naturalist. Na idea you get, but you can't really make it work if given the opportunity!

FarahAideed:
So you are going to tax any transactions that occurs on a bank account? ... All Buahrist truly have low IQ like the bUhari

Are they not already taxing every transactions?

Mrquote:
Thank your God that it all went well

Policemen are humans. When you deal with them right, everything will go well. Make sure you are at an advantaged position. Well you can't learn that. It's a default thing.

FreeStuffsNG:
Nowhere in the world do people love to pay tax.

It has always been so since the time of Jesus Christ that even Jews went to him to ask if they should pay tax to Caesar even when it was recorded that he himself paid tax.

I feel and understand the angst of people. The brighter side is that when the people are in the tax net and pay or forced to pay, they will hold government more accountable than they currently do. Is it not hypocritical that most of the loudest critics of government, especially on the social media are mostly folks who don't pay tax yet they enjoy petrol subsidy, electricity subsidies and be be lo. If we keep funding subsidies and most of us don't pay tax, then government will only continue to borrow and some corrupt public officials escape our pressure because the money being stolen is not your tax .

I really doubt if governance was as lacklustre in Aba in 1929 as it is now yet it's on record that women of Aba went on rampage to protest against tax hike and I had to memorize the year and the event in Primary School.

So what changed? As more free money was flowing in from oil, government paid less attention to tax, giving more people more disposable income and corrupt officials extra from the stealing from the free oil revenue inflows the opportunity to marry more wives and have more kids,even excess kids, our population ballooned and suddenly all resources became stretched and insufficient and here we are today when vicious competition for scarce resources is at almost every doorstep and almost back to the Hobbesian state..


These economic measures,like SAP,Austerity measures of those days, and improved social, political and security architecture will eventually cancel the factors that disturbed the positive equilibrium/stability we had before free oil money started pouring in.
We will be alright las las.

Let's not stop praying and hoping for the best in life and for this great nation.

All the enemies of Nigeria,Nigerians and lovers of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria forever.

Hello. What about all the VAT we've been paying right left and center? Any transaction you make is taxed. Anything you purchased is taxed. Person wey no get work dey pay tax? But remember say person wey no get work fit get bank account. So what's the justification for going through bank accounts when not everyone having a bank account is taxable?

Mrquote:
Go and tell a policeman that is your tax money they use to pay his or her salary then you might not see your family the next minute

Well. I've told a policeman this before and nothing happened. He was just trying to verbally abuse me which never worked.

Ovamboland:
Of course APC all the way. So you want a situation where almost all workers in the informal sector continue to earn money tax free and contribute nothing to national development? While they constitute up to 70% if the workforce. The cheating of workers in the formal should end, the cost of running the country should be borne by all Nigerians not some.
Nigeria can't remain a primitive state that PDP left it,such that Nigeria public revenue is the smallest among the first 7 biggest economies in Africa, yet we are the biggest economy.

Are you naturally this stupid or is something just wrong in you? They are talking about attacking Nigerians through bank accounts and you are here just talking about workers dodging tax! Are you okay like this

Jostoman:
Na by force to use Bank

How easy is it to do without a means of sending or receiving money digitally?

PrinceOfLagos:
You did this to yourself the very day you voted for the world most useless and evil political party, The APC .

So Will you still vote for APC in 2023 ?

It's never about APC. It's Buhari. If Buhari head correct as much as it should, everyone go follow suit. But has the head don rotten, wetin you want make the body do

Daveambition:
I just want leave this country, naija don caast..
Citizen dey struggle like slaves, i humbly denounce my citizenship..
I no dey do again.

It will not always be like this. Trust me. This is just the heat Nigerians have to face for bringing in a man like Buhari.

All of you that voted Buhari in, shey una see una lives like this
Is this a policy for the people or the vagabonds in power? What single policy has this Buhari administration brought that lifted just one burden off the shoulders of poor Nigerians

MufasaLion:
Think reasonably and maturely.

You should be saying this to yourself! Sin na sin man.

EnemyofGod22:
Religion has done more harm to humanity than good.




God and satan doesn't exist








Know this and have peace of mind.

Are you sure you have peace of mind? There is no real peace outside God man! If you don't know or believe God for any reason doesn't cancel the existence of such great force of life known to many as God!

Viraltrends123:
Obviously, there is nothing wrong with what he did, as far he didn't threaten them

Like seriously

Hammyaladin:
l even if na gay how e take concern you... Lol. Nigerians feel they have the right to kill homosexuals..

You just exaggerated

MufasaLion:
I despise pedophiles and their likes.

But you said everyone has right to their sexuality. Pedophiling is also a sexual trait na

daddytime:
And so?

Is it your gay, nyansh, or preek? Abi your nyansh dey pepper you when dem dey shook him nyansh or when him dey shook another person nyansh?

Why can't we learn to live and let live?

There is a reason why God refused or deliberately did not create 100%, perfect humans.

Jobless intolerant people.

If gayism is the worst sin...just in case sin has classes for the bandwagon ignorant homophobes..

What is hatred, envy, stealing, lying, fornication, adultery, and a national sin like corruption?

Make we learn to dey face or attack wetin directly dey affect us abeg.

Check my signature.

Well. Gayism isn't just a sin. It is also a proof of some phycological in-balance in those who practice it. Even a mad person will never believe he/she is mad!

slowice:
He was a useless governor and now a useless minister serving a useless president in a useless country. Mtchewww

Are you useless? There is nothing like a country. It's only a geographical description of a people. So are you saying you and all your family and friends are useless? I beg to differ. Useless set of politicians sounds better!

You are still planning to beef up security after like 5 jail breaks? Asin still trying! Not that you are saying you've already beefed up security You have failed already ogbeni
