Not really. One of T-pain's campaign promises was to widen the tax net and reduce our spending power. He is keeping to his promises. I entered Friday market this morning and came out with an almost empty bag, after spending thousands.

He really is keeping to his promises

Oga, u cant be taxing poor people. Nigeria has some of the poorest people on earth. The koko is govt running cost needs to drop by 60 percent.
Take a look at how we fund ex presidents, senators, govrnors. Imagine just ruling for 4 years, u enjoy for life. That is ridicolous.
When are we going to tell our selves the truth?
We spend so much to maintain politicians. This bad.
We have a very expensive system of govt with very expensive election system yet, we produce wack elections.
Can we cut down on the budget of national assembly, executives, MDs, and channel those funds into infrastructures that can aid generation of money such as investing the fund into agriculture, education to produce job creation citizens, health care to build world class health care system and attract foreigners to use our healthcare?
The list goes on. And for the record, Nigeria runs a useless system of govt that can never work.
Imagine such a huge country practising unitary federalism. We are jokers.
Nigeria is so big to have a centralized police system. It is a joke to do that. Most of our lives are affected directly in our states and local govt of residence, not Abuja. Yet, Abuja makes so much money and controls the entire country. How can someone in Taraba feel the impact of Abuja?
I just hate black race, especially, Nigerians. We have proven over and over again that we are wack humans who cant solve our own problem. We can see the solutions but we have failed to fix it. Decentralize Nigeria and allow states run their economy, security, resources and compete among them selves, and u will see how fast some regions will grow.
If we dont do this, forget it, in 100 years to come, Nigerians will be singing same songs.

Something else he said in 2019.

He said rather than increasing taxes, the tax net should be saddened so that those who are not playing will be included and it will increase government expenditure.

That speech was cut and misrepresented.

Like him or not, he is doing the things he said he will do.
