Why is this Government hell bent on meaking Nigerians, why this so much obsession with Taxing Nigerians to grave........ we've never had it this bad in Government

I saw one of my uncles among the people that greeted the Queen

Thank God it is for farming, I thought it was for patrolling inside market

If we are nor ashamed of ourselves, why can't Macron come to Nigeria and spend days like ours is doing over there

This can't be accurate, what if a war start in any of those countries? Definitely population of such countries will reduce

Jonathan can't eat his cake and have it, he had the chance and he let it go

All man for himself, I believe I am also a god on my own

Here we even reward a thief with a big political office

If they increase minimum wage to 400k, be ready to buy 1 liter of fuel for 4k, that's the bitter truth. Are Nigerians any better now they are earning 70k as compared to 33k minimum wage? NLC should start tackling govt more on economy regulation, not just increase in minimum wage. When govt increase minimum wage, they will increase price of goods as well, it makes no difference.

NLC is not the reason for government increase oga.... This government have been increasing everything which warranted the NLC to demand for an increase in the first place, now the increment continues in various aspects both in tax and other means and you expect the NLC to sit down, fold their hands and watch the government make life miserable for them??

Background

Everybody wants government to maintain highways, but nobody wants government to make the money to maintain the highways.

Once upon a time, long ago, government tolled the highways in order to generate the funds that it would use to maintain them.

In this video you can see that the chief of staff, Supreme Headquarters (military vice president) Brigadier Shehu Musa Yar'Adua paid the toll when he opened the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in 1978.

However, over the years, there were claims that the toll operators were corrupt and that they did not remit the funds to the government. Private companies were hired to run the toll plazas but the allegations of corruption continued.

Therefore, sometime around 2004, the Obasanjo Administration demolished the toll plazas. The government decided that it would impose a petrol tax and use that money to maintain the expressways, instead of relying on tolls.

(Some people believe that the demolition of the toll plazas led to the deterioration of highways like the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway).

President Obasanjo included the tax in the appropriation bill (budget) and he wanted to start collecting it before the budget was passed by the National Assembly.

However, the tax was opposed by many people.

Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos opposed it and threatened to sue the Federal Government and the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) agreed with him. The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), led by Adams Oshiomhole, threatened to go on strike and both the Senate president and the speaker of the House of Representatives expressed opposition to the tax.

President Obasanjo decided to pause implementation of the tax, due to the opposition to it. The tax was included in the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) Act of 2007, but the act states that the implementation of the tax will begin on a date to be determined by the Minister of Finance.

In other words, it is not a new tax and it will not commence on January 1st. The reason that some people believe that it's a new tax is because a new tax law (that harmonised all taxes) was recently enacted and this old tax was mentioned in the law.

have other government not been maintaining it before this government came in??

Nobody will see the physical assault from the lady now, but just say the guy retaliate boom the whole media won't let us hear word

BATified2023:
so if teachers are to clear grass, what will students do?

All these your agenda no dey agend, we also attended public schools n na we Dey clear grass so dead that agenda cos your fraud was denied from entering the state

It has never been a crime or bad thing for students to clear grass, I also did that when I was in school. But for teachers to do that is wrong, stop supporting bad things or evil because of politics before it consume you one day

BATified2023:
it's propaganda from people whose failed mesuya was banned from entering Edo state

Keep screaming Propaganda up and down until you see your P man clearing his own inside school

You are petitioning someone that have both the Court and Judges in his pocket.... Just don't expect justice

If you no play Super Mario, wetin you gain

What else does he means if not Lagos is a no man's land..... Men that speaks from both sides of their mouth should not be trusted

Mehn things are going from worse to worst soon

NairalandForumo:
no, the mods are joining to delete comments on targeted accounts and putting the blame on bots, at some point you could not criticize Tinubu and the entire APC without getting a ban.

I have told you guys as long as you people keep using this platform to play politics, you guys will keep going round the circle, if you guys were to be fair, there are accounts here that should have been closed permanently, and if such accounts keep coming up you keep closing them, those accounts that are politically sponsored to drive hate and division.

but no, you guys are leaving them and trying to stifle opposing voices speaking the truth...

Then I would have sacked Mynd44 a long time ago because he is clearly partisan and biased (sorry to say).

The truth is as long as you people keep playing politics which is breeding injustice on this platform you people will keep having problems...

What you said here is the plain truth, the forum has been politicize by a particular political party

Another open means of buying the Judges... I thought the Judiciary is an independent tier of Government.... Nigeria my country

What is cooking will be very loud come 2027.... the shege is too much..

WorldRichest:
And these are the people that think we will ever allow one of them to rule Nigeria. It will never happen

If the Igbos where the ones that started ruling this country called Nigeria after independence, definitely they will rule again

AMINDA:
This was how happy the people of Rivers State were and this was how they identified with the election. Wike is fast running out of leverages and needs the SOE lifted even more than Fubara. He's under immense pressure.

When I saw the rented crowd that welcomed him, I knew something was wrong

And they say is not a loop side government... How much is our budget again??

Obaaderemi2:
He is worse than Tinubu. Somebody that met peso at #130 to a dollar and took it to #1300. Took inflation to over 200% and reduced pensions. When we tell you Tinubu is doing serious work trying to balance things in Nigeria after the bastardization of the economy for decades, you tell us something else.
You want to listen to someone who has zero new ideas on how to rescue the economy but just emotions.

You said he is worse but everything you mentioned here, Tinubu have done worse than him in just 2 years into office......
