I wish this wicked government would give 10 percent the attention they are giving to tax Nigerians, to fix actual societal problems.

Omo oniles have been harassing my workers on my project site. I guess UK and US residents settle omo oniles after paying 25 percent in income tax.

We still contribute money to fix blown up power transformer, despite paying our bills.

We still need to 'mobilise' the Nigerian police after reporting a crime.

We still produce and treat our water.

Even paid government services like passport and driver's licence renewals are painfully slow and inefficient.

Is this how countries that tax citizens up to 25 percent operate?

Here is an interesting fact

If you earn the equivalent of $20,000 annually which translates to ₦30m in China, your income tax rate is about 4 percent. While same income bracket attracts 23 percent rate in Nigeria. Imagine China that has invested most of its wealth back into its people having a tax rate lower than Nigeria.

Trump the meme president really thinks he is a serious person.

I just changed my Lagos residential location on the Starlink portal and there was no charge for it. So glad to be back on ₦57k unlimited fast internet that has been offline since my relocation.
