MTN Users,

Have you received the notification yet?

MTN Changes from *555*PIN# to *311*PIN#

That's a foolish response to the question but I can't say I expected much else from you. If the constitution is amended tomorrow it suddenly correc. No my governor did not complain. The governor complaining doesn't make the position correct because he's the arbiter of truth in this world. That's childish reasoning. You have my respect for finally answering the question directly.

Blue3k:
Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Do I need to rephrase the question for you? I asked you simple question don't run from the question or state opinions on topics you werent asked. Address the point posed before you. Why is a uniform income tax policy preferred to states constructing their own tax policies?

Blue3k:
Now quit running away from the question. Why is a uniform tax policy preferred to states constructing their own tax policies?

Blue3k:
This isn't a counter argument. Tell me why the plan isn't good idea if you're capable. What's wrong with a flat tax or no income tax if the tax net is widened. Did I not mention reducing government waste which would address the recurrent expenditures?

Blue3k:
Akwa Ibom is the state. A low flat tax of 2.5% means you keep more of your disposable income.

The capacity of a state to drive long-term economic activity such as boosting employment and offering effective public services is often demonstrated through the amount of independent revenue it can generate.

The amount of internal revenue a state is able to generate also demonstrates its financial strength and ability to function well, independent of the allocation from the federation account, according to experts.

Blue3k:
I'd want my state to lower it or eliminate it. It will simply be replaced with a different tax.

Blue3k:
I suggest deleting section 59 of the Constitution. After that, states will be able to have more control over their tax policy. It's singled out because of the Constitution.

Macmilla:
It seems there's a problem with soundpeats and posNL and nipost.
I ordered one soundpeats earpods and tracking states it arrived destination country and received by local delivery company. But that was almot 3wks now. My local post office do not have it. Why is it taking 3wks and still counting to move an item from Lagos to Niger state? Something is obviously wrong.

Blue3k:
It is under the exclusive legislative list sadly. This why you see tax uniformity in Nigeria. Honestly the 1999 constitution was written by fools.

Birdbyrde440:
No vaccuum if president doesn't hand over tho

Birdbyrde440:
They are pro subsidy removal and since the case is in court why are they expanding the subsidy removal commitee to include teams of the "incoming administration" ? The incoming administration is subject to court judgement, nothing definite yet.

If government is a continum then there should be no need for expanding the commitee since whoever gets in to aso rock will still remove subsidy on the set of june 2023, why change the date if government is a continum?
Why not continue what Buhari started, why change it?

Birdbyrde440:
But there is a court case, what if the court sacks the president-elect?

Birdbyrde440:
What about the indefinite postponement of the census?

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the postponement of the 2023 Population and Housing Census, earlier scheduled for 3-7 May 2023, to a date to be determined by the incoming administration.

The president noted that with the completion of the Enumeration Area Demarcation of the country, conduct of first and second pretests, the recruitment and training of adhoc workers, procurement of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and ICT infrastructure, appreciable progress has been made in the implementation of the 2023 Population and Housing Census.

Who is spreading fake news about suspension?
This govt is not speaking with one voice, its like this president-elect is head over heals about being president proper.

Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has said that the government did not suspend plans to remove fuel subsidies but has rather expanded the subsidy removal committee to include teams from the incoming administration and the state governors.

A statement issued by Mrs Ahmed’s Special Adviser on Media & Communications, Yunusa Abdullahi, made this known in a statement Friday.

“Against the backdrop of the story in some media that the federal government has suspended the removal of petrol subsidy, the government has said that it has not suspended the removal, but has rather expanded the subsidy removal committee to include teams from the incoming administration and the state governors,” the statement said.

Not bad! Nice efforts by the NAF. Meanwhile, hope those C-130 Hercules are well serviced & maintained? I remember the painful crash of August 26, 1992 in Ejigbo Lagos here.

Blue3k:
I'm not talking a put federal income tax so I don't see the relevance. All federal taxes are uniform across states. Only the territories in the United States are excluded from income tax like Puerto Rico. Your point about the federal government essentially imposing a tax they do you collect is interesting. It's sensless, busybody behavior.

Gajagojo:
For your information many states rely operationally on the the FIRS to collect for them because they do not have the capacity to do so.
I did not anywhere mention responsibility but what happens in practice with withholding tax.

Gajagojo:
The main challenge is the Federal government collects PAYE on behalf of states because many do not have the capacity to do so themselves. This is a legacy of centralised military government

Blue3k:
Every state levies a PAYE tax, aka income tax. From what I can tell, it's uniform across the various states. If that isn't the case, please correct me. Assuming its uniform between states it makes certain states less competitive when attracting businesses. If it were free for all, it would encourage more competition between states to attract talent workers and companies. Maybe some states would opt for a flat tax, other a graduated income tax and other no income tax.

Land233:
Sorry to disturb you sir please I have a little question. Please how long does it take from the time form was filled to when i would be surveyed? From your experience sir.

Is it true that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was one of those who persuaded the late Ige to take up appointment under Obasanjo?

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu played a major role in getting Uncle Bola persuaded to work with President Olusegun Obasanjo and especially to switch uncle’s preferred ministry from Communications to Power and Steel. They had strong bonds in those days while in the Alliance for Democracy.

Why do you think Tinubu wanted Ige to work with Obasanjo?

I really didn’t think it was about Obasanjo because Tinubu and Obasanjo were not the best of pals at the time. It was mostly about getting the best for Yorubaland in particular and Nigeria in general. Tinubu had very progressive views about uplifting Yorubaland and the country in general. He and Uncle Bola then struck a resonance.
