SHey these guys don't understand what achievements are ni??

Policies are not achievements, the effect of those policies are what we should talking about

How many jobs have been created?

How many new millionaires have been created?

How many lives have been bettered?

A party that can't even pull 10votes are now acting like an heavyweight😅

Is this the president position as regards his defection or just your personal opinion??

Because the last time we checked na Presidential Spokesperson you be, and when you open your mouth na only the ideas, opinions of the president we suppose dey hear there

But old man will always want to disgrace himself Sha😅

But we can't allow this very wicked government to continue now

Happy new year from Kiribati then 🤣

SmartPolician:
Unfortunately, all men are not equal and can never be. God created us equally, but grace and hard work make the difference.

The day you understand that fact, you complain less and focus on getting to the lonely top.

Answer my question straight, is 100k in today's Naija enough to be the yardstick for government to start taxing people to death

Mind you many Nigerians even live way way below this and yet there's no meaningful actions from the government to mitigate this

WizardOfNG:
You are not serious..I would not expect any other comment from an individual long on unrelenting ethno-religious hatred of others but hideously ignorant and short on knowledge.

I don't know how you and your co-travellers believe you appear before the world when everyone (Lagosians who love the State and are aware of her sordid history before Tinubu) sees and admit an item is white yet only you people (haters incapable of giving Tinubu credit for his globally-acclaimed acclaimed positive transformation of Lagos) insist it is black.

Lagos was a dysfunctional andneglected megacity under Tinubu, 100% verified, the FG had turn it's back on in preference for funnelling all funds into the new poster child of Abuja.

Tinubu worked wonders, with negligible FG financial and/or policy support, to transform Lagos into the 6th biggest economy in Africa. You shame yourself with senseless denial of what many here lived through.

So why has he not been able to work the wonders in Nigeria now?😄

Abi na cause cement don cost??

The shocking part of this story is that some of us here thinks that 100k gift is too small for lawmakers but same us dey support government increasing taxes of citizens earning same 100k as take home monthly, na only God go judge all of us for this country

SmartPolician:
What can 100k do for men like that in today's Nigeria? That's more like an insult. If you want to buy their loyalty, you must find out what Wike gives them and give them more.

Fubara knows nothing about politics. I hope he's at least doing something about developing Rivers State because I can't remember the last time I read state-sponsored development projects in that state.

Focused countries like Qatar and UAE are using their oil money to build futuristic cities while Rivers politicians are using theirs to play mumu politics. Tomorrow, we will say we didn't develop due to neocolonialism.

But 100k is enough for the average man to be taxed to death abi??

You all are insane sincerely

Kukutente23:
Fubara sef
The man get for body no be small
Imagine 100k
Is it for garri or ewa
And why has he refused to present the budget this time around?
Man needs to be careful o

But that's the amount many average Nigerians manage monthly, some even lesser and yet the government still wan kpai them with taxes and levies

Yet we have people supporting them, you see where our problem dey

callthefred:
Osun that isn't borrowing before suddenly wants to borrow over 200b in election year? This is interesting.

Why won't he, when the citizens themselves go to anywhere they share peanuts

If we don't do something drastic as a people and change our orientation and doings, I pray we would still have a place to call a country in the near future

omoredia:
Nigeria doesn't need a new tax law, we need leaders to make our old taxes work.

Infact I'm surprised people are not hitting the streets yet, you can't be looting with this much impunity and all that comes to your mind is to tax the people the more

Imagine the level of development in these states and correlate it with the loans, grants, and other financial gains they've gotten and you will feel sorry for the populace

Levels1:
Nothing .

absolute nothing

I'm not in support of them going either

but spreading lies is what I stand against.

Yeah I get you, even though I think the petition won't go through Sha

Cos it's gonna affect the entire Africa qualifying phase

enemyofprogress:
to play rubbish now

🤣🤣🤣, like I just dey wonder oooo

nairalanda1:
AH another tinubu supporter who wants his boss to keep on borrowing.

Modified

Plus, when one million out of 230 million are paying tax, HOW DO you expect any government, be it obi or tinubu...to do anything?

You cannot tax an underproductive to success, even your President knew that before he became president

Levels1:
You they mind him.

He listening to people mouth to get information if not,he will have made is finding rather than spreading fake news up and down

So what exactly is the super Eagles going to do at the world cup??

DomPerignon:
15% sounds reasonable .

Most people employed in organized private and public sector pay that amount as tax.

The law only wants to expand it to other grey zone businesses that don't pay even up to minimum wage.

all those one man businesses like hotels and private schools will be forced to disclose their workforce and when it is found out that they are not even paying for NHIS, Pension and even the minimum wage , there will be trouble .

The tax law favours the poor and will bring to accountability since most people do not earn up to minimum wage working in these small businesses . Same small businesses are exempt from paying corporate tax, so why will they refuse to pay minimum wage ?

That's where the president is getting it wrong, hee sending a very bad signal to the populace

You've not even done any productive thing for the people in two years and the only thing that comes to your mind is taxing them to death

nairalanda1:
The only other option is to borrow even more then.

Simple and short.

Oil is going to keep falling in the foreseeable future. Oil also forms 80% of our revenue and we need it at 150 dollars per barrel to earn a revenue that makes sense.

Anyone quoting me should tell me how we can raise more money without tax and borrowing.

Don't mention fighting corruption because while it is very necessary, it still does not raise our overall income.

You have been shouting up and down

Is the tax the solution to our problem??

Government have refused to fix many things, now expect increase in House rent, transport fares and others and yet we still have to give the government a large chunk of money to squander again

What manner of government is this?

damoobaba:
Apps dey wey you fit watch am nah

Give us one app now

jedisco:
No government is perfect. We could start by holding those in power to account. That includes politicians when they waste money snd pastors when they say things like this.

If you want a country with a thriving middle class where the average person can buy a new car, live in a decent house, enjoy good healthcare and infrastructure, then we need to understand how modern economies work. The system we have now only guarantees poverty.

If there's one thing to note, taxation manytimes helps citizens to be alive to their responsibilities. People are more likely to demand better when they can see it's their money being spent.

Does this particular government looks like one that will even accept your criticisms??

They only want to loot and make people look away now

APCNig:
You no know anything. City Boy don use Street sense to put them all in his pockets. When we say we are Lagos Boys, you think say na for mouth? Tinubu has signed the Tax Laws that he wants, you too can go and make your own laws.

You want to be using Lagos and Rivers generated Tax to be sending people to Mecca and marrying wives for your jobless Almajaris, go and generate your own money, that is Loud and Clear now.

Are you guys even listening to whatever shit you're spewing sef??

How can you alter a national document that was just passed by the National Assembly??

The painful part is that all of these precedences will still come back to hurt us whether now or later

But let's all keep pretending all is well

Salewa97:
The problem is that the opposition have no agenda apart from criticizing the government.

Akpabio has been doing his best as the Senate president. They should stop looking for who to blame and face their responsibilities instead

What oversight function has Akpabio done since the inception of this government??

I will be waiting to hear you

If Buhari had even impose anyone between the lesser evil on us, by now maybe we for don forgive am, cos atleast those ones for dey pity the average man on the street

Chegesnd:
You must be an Unserious Person if you take this book serious.
The same Buhari they are vilifying, as having led a govt. that plunged the country into a huge socioeconomic mess, which they are struggling to overcome.
The same Buhari that they said he sidelined Tinubu's men during his tenure.
The same Buhari that they are selectively prosecuting his cabinet members.
The same Buhari that they said refused to support Tinubu's ambition, until El Rufai and co stood there ground.

Even the unveiling of the book in the villa is a testament of it's purpose - to rewrite history!

Like I can't even believe my eyes and ears at the happenings right now

The same Buhari they praised to high heavens

Intrepid01:
This is the problem with Nigerians, we suffer from selective amnesia. The book didn’t say that Osinbajo didn’t inform Buhari. It said Osinbajo didn’t seek his views on whether to run against Tinubu or not. There is a huge difference between informing for support and seeking advice.

And we all know that's a lie

Tinubu has a penchant for wanting to be the hero in every scene

And mind you, it is everyone's right to contest

Timmi:
The question that the Ojudu man failed to answer is why would Osinbanjo compete with his benefactor. Buhari rightfully said Tinubu I know and Osinbnjo I don’t know because he know him when Tinubu nominated him for the position of the Vice President. Though I have a high regard for Osinbanjo but I was highly disappointed in him for betraying Tinubu. I didn’t expect that from him at all.

How did he betray Tinubu??

Talk like this na him dey make this men feel infallible

Even the revered Buhari is no more, but Nigeria still remain

Na only God knows where una dey go donate una brains sha

Rootprof:
Atiku has being contesting since NOBODY said anything, osinbanjo contested party primary ONE TIME we no go hear word again.
Abeg leave osinbanjo Cos he only exercise his constitutional right.
Face the hardship in the country and way out. STOP BEING DISTRACTED.

Like and na dem go dey shout say them dey champion of democracy

Champion of democracy but you dey always fear to even have opponent in an election

He has started for 2027 also, killing every opposing voices

Amumaigwe:
Supposing you are right, can you tell us why Charles Omole lied and in whose interest is that unfortunate twist?

People wey Tinubu don spoil their life finish and still never know

The writer said Buhari opposed him, even when in news Buhari gave his blessings to everyone who came to him then

energy37:
“By the third discussion, President Buhari went further. In his considered judgment, he stated plainly that Professor Osinbajo was by far the best person for the job.”

So, Ojudu expected the President to tell Osinbajo not to contest. Who does that? No disciplined military man will ever support Osinbajo with his relationship with Tinubu. It is the highest level of betrayal.

He's countering the book sponsored by your lord that Buhari didn't support osinbajos bid

Buhari that gave everyone his blessings then na him una dey talk say them no consult am

HgAkpobomeEr:
ADC is just a noise-making party. They should go and sleep.

So we should applaud a president that actually alters the resolution of the National Assembly??

When Tinubu is done with una, he would leave just as Buhari left and you will lick your wound forever
