He just wan suffer that poor cashier!

Mr. Reno Omokri and other ignorant Southerners supporting Atiku won't see this one o!

All they do is to attack Peter Obi from morning till night as if their lives depend on it!

APC and PDP supporters just ganged up against one man... A man who is supposed to be a lesser threat to either of them!

This means there is more to this! That simply tells me both top parties truly have a lot in common!

Ola4lead:
“You said if use properly” That is IF and that’s why everyone can’t trust our politicians

So, what do you suggest?!!

We should all collectively descend into anarchy?!!

Timoleon:
Nigerians are just terrible people and I just laugh and ignore people who are unnecessarily optimistic about the future of this country. Soludo has eased the burden of these commercial drivers by sending away motorpark touts that taxed them heavily without remitting to the state. Whereas these greedy tricyclists pay as much as 2000 - 5000 daily to touts before which would sum to 60000-150000 monthly before now, they are now throwing protests at a government that reduced it to15000.

Let’s continue deceiving ourselves that we want development.

Thank you for this!

Nigerians just want to enjoy everything good without making sacrifices!

Some are already labeling the Professor evil!

I tire for our citizens!

newcommer:
The sacrifice shouldn't have to come from our end alone. All hands must be on deck!

Cut down the profligacy in government. A senator cannot earn #36,000,000 monthly asides allowances when the minimum wage of your country is a measly #30,000 in this biting inflation. Demons!!!

Open the borders. We are not food sufficient enough to operate closed borders. Strengthen our institutions. Nobody, not even the president should be above the law.

Restructure or operate a semblance of it. Stiff penalties for corruption with long jail sentences and seizures of assets.

All politicians children MUST school in Nigeria. If you elect to hold office for a number of years, you must be very friendly with your country. If you decide you have a taste for foreign goods, please vacate the position.

Partner with the private sector to handle a number of infrastructural needs, education and employment creation in return for a reduced tax burden for a number of years.

Tax churches. So many, many more if we are serious about things. This country is evil. God!!

Well written sir. I completely agree!

However, can you see these things can only happen when the right people are elected into office especially the office of the presidency?!!

This is where we have been getting it wrong for decades now!

Imagine having visionaries at key offices starting from the presidency... These things you listed would have been common place by now!

newcommer:
Indeed. Yet, in those developed countries you use in your example, the citizens of those countries see the dividends of their taxes with a quality economy and numerous jobs. They get annual tax returns from the government, a sort of 'thank you' for paying your taxes.

Yet, over here in the poverty capital of the world along with some of the richest politicians on Earth, we are supposed to pay taxes that will be embezzled by these demons we have as government

You're not serious.

That is why I talked about corruption being a big issue!

Corruption will have to be tackled by everyone!

Our part as citizens must be to unite and demand transparency, starting from voting in people of integrity which we both know Nigerians have not being doing for decades!

Let's assume we all fail or refuse to pay taxes, what next??! What do you propose with regards to needed revenue generation?!!


See, it's not always enough to fight online and criticize daily... What solutions do you have to proffer?!!

OyeofIkoTuN:
trash..

Yorubas have died more and lost territories more from 1991 till date...Followed by Hausas ,then ijaws..Tivs and idomas next..Itsekiri..

Edo,igbos...safe since 1990...

FActs

Be wise...Fact check before you yan opkata

I'm sorry sir... It's all well with you?!!

What is the correlation between what you posted and my comment?!!

Na wa o! Many of you need help on this forum!

Femiwilli:
Let's face it, Nigerians hate igbos.

Yet what i don't grasp is the reluctance to let them leave in peace


The South East can survive on its own, if not do better.

I mean after the civil war, they still are amongst the best brains, best sports people.

If they will suffer, is it ur biz?

I don't think anyone hates Igbos as much as they hate themselves!

Since the civil war ended, more Igbos have died at the hands of their fellow Igbos (Go and verify this please)!

Ozubulu Massacre
UGM rampage
Cult clashes
Okija Shrine
Mr. James Nwafor of SARS
Clifford Orji the Cannibal
Etc...

There was such a suit?! For real?!!

That was incredibly stupid!

newcommer:
To be very, very honest, I'm not enamored with this Peter Obi guy. The South Eastern states are hellish to live in which is why their indigenes run to other states to find their feet.

I mean, look at their state governors from Ikpeazu, Soludo, to Uzodinma. They hate Umahi but he's the best performing governor in the East presently.

I say no to Peter Obi. This is my opinion and I stand by it. I pray Atiku wins.

Igbo people, fix yourselves. You people are heavily represented in drug related crime and fraud cases all over the world. You people represent the very worst of Nigerians and your superiority complex and victim mentality put you at odds with your neighbours.

I, caterogically say NO to Peter Obi. Semper fi

So much bias here!

I am a fan of no one!

However, Peter Obi has delivered in all ramifications of leadership! He laid the foundation for the highly improved Anambra of today!... In his time as governor, only Lagos was ahead of his state development wise!

If you will hold the failings of other states in East against Peter Obi, then why exempt Atiku from issues in the North like Boko Haram, Banditry, illiteracy, extremism, etc?!!

Should we also hold Tinubu liable for ritual killings in parts of SouthWest, the Owo massacre, bad roads in Ogun state, Fulani killings, etc?!!

Your post is unnecessarily bigoted and nepotic! This is the sort of attitude we don't need in this nation as election draws near!

azikiweironsi:
Good. But how many have they helped to startup ? It is only in Nigeria a person is responsible for setting up a business and boom a tax man came calling from nowhere demanding for tax but neglected you in the time of need. Only in Nigeria your signboard is levied based on how colourful the signboard is not minding the revenue coming to the business owner.

You have a very good point here... That's why negotiations and discussions ought to precede such levies.

There ought to be a way around such revenue generation (yes, revenue must be generated)!

Well, there is so much disconnection in leadership among our people here in Africa! Corruption makes it even worse!

If generated revenue is never tampered with, but used for the right purposes, no one will resist taxation.

franchasofficia:
Soludo should tread with caution, this is kind of outrageous

It's quite outrageous... He is supposed to have met with the stakeholders in that sector, discussed with the heads of the association, then all would have reached a fee of suitable compromise!

Authoritarianism should have no place in a democracy!

Slynation:
#1000 to #15000 abi...!! And you expect people to give the government standing ovation!!

This is why I said there should be room for negotiation and compromise!

Taxation should be based on earning and profitability! It should never be arbitrary!

But, to resist taxation in its entirety will merely slow the wheels of progress!

Fearyourcreator:
I pay tithe ooo... But our pastor preaches hardwork ... If money no dey I dont pay too...

The Bible is clear on these things...

"Give to Caesar (your government) what is theirs, and God what is His"!

EMPEROROFDONBAS:
The same government that signed a waiver of about 16...trillion naira on companies with huge tax fraud..

Guy calm down

Please, understand that I am not holding brief for the government... However, taxation is inescapable!

Dodging or resisting taxation only further compounds a state or nation's economic woes.

Fearyourcreator:
Nigerians want a country where the government will be digging money from the ground to better masses life... Where is it done ... It's collected from the people either citizens or foreigners and from resources to build ... Even offices no dey wan pay but their CEO dey carry money Bleep small girls ... A lot sef

The irony is that these same people don't mind paying Tithes, Special offerings, and others to churches!

RepoMan007:
Will this huge tax exempt them from the ills of the society affecting their business like police extortions, hoodlum harassments, fake spare parts, bad roads, robberies and more?
If govt was working towards a better society it would have made sense to empower the govt financially but they are just after a quick substitute for dwindling allocations.

Are you saying Charles Soludo is not working towards a better Anambra state?!!

If the answer is YES, then how is he supposed to pull it off without revenue?!!

The average Nigerian hates the word "Tax", yet we demand a better flourishing society!

Instead of these complaints and protests, your leaders should meet with the government, dialogue and reach a proper fee!

There is no developed nation where working citizens dodge or escape taxation! None!

"...improper relationship with a member of the organization"


Don't you just love the way learned people play around with words while deviating from the truth!

Greystone:
She’s cute, but all this show of cleavage and thighs is trashy.
Gone are the days when ladies had class.

I will fully agree with your comment on her cuteness when I see her real face! The face without so many layers of make-up.

Meanwhile, how exactly do people qualify to become Actresses in this country?!! You hardly see random guys claiming to be actors, even the ones who are popular on social media.

Impressive investigative work! We still can't rule out some level of bias anyway.

That said... He is right about most Nigerians being rude, condescending, and downright disrespectful and combative towards police officers at checkpoints.

This nation will not improve solely at the feet of those in office!

lhordspy:
Just another plot to put the iranian in a bad light to the world. But the Iranian president is no coward like the africa leaders that licks the feet of the europeans.

Amanpour knows the iranian president so well, he know he will never accept to that, so why shedule an interview with him when you know you can't dress according to the president religious doctrine.

It is definitely planned either for clout-chasing, cheap attention seeking, or portraying the already battered image of the iranian president or iranians in general in the face of the world.


Thank God, Jesus wasnt around this time. This present day propaganda set of medias would have make us believe he is bad just because he wont do to their bidding.


I think CNN, BBC and other european maintstream media are the problem of this world

Nah... Those ones are tools of propaganda alright, but Religious Extremism has been a global scourge since time immemorial!

The audacity of these people!

It's bad enough that you subjugate women in your country, now y'all clearly want to do the same to all women across the globe!

Backward, Demented, Psychotic, and Clannish religious morons!

Grandemperor:
Is this ''clear fact'' incontrovertible?

What exactly will be the basis for dispute?!

The silly judge will laugh before tossing the suit into the dustbin!

The best court to deal with Buhari, APC, and their ilk will be in session next year... Sadly, the main officiating judges (Nigerians) will choose to be stupid and unfortunate!

Only imbeciles (sycophants) argue this clear fact!

Yam preferably! Better yellow yam from Delta state!

Kyase:
Oh yeah World Cup
Brazil
Argentina
Germany

What’s England doing there boss
Please replace them with Ghana

Lol... Very funny! Southgate no blame you!

But, England can easily beat every one of those teams you mentioned!

They have the most star-studded squad right now! Only say Dem no get correct coach!

dfrost02:
Abeg remove England and Brazil. Add France there. Third spot? Maybe Germany.

Which Germany??! France already has key injury crisis!

The teams I mentioned are the ones to beat currently!

dfrost02:
Who dash Liverpool 'red army'. You meant to say 'red boys scouts'

Such disrespect!

All because you manage beat their "second" squad!

No worry... There will be a return fixture!

Kyase:
We no go just beat them, we go flog them
Bookmark this

Sigh... Even Ten Hag no go fit make that kind statement!

Man City will do the usual in that Derby!

Kyase:
We’ll see
I can already imagine your reaction with big grammar on that day

Even you know Man City can't lose to United! Forget that careless Arsenal, Etihad won't fall to United! No way!

By the way... Who do you think will win this World cup??! Who are your top 3 teams?!!

Mine are Brazil, England, and Argentina!
