Nigeria had the choice of voting for Peter obi, but they went for a profligate waster and a crook.

You have sold the future of your children on the altar of bigotry and madness.

Tinubu has budgeted 6.5 billion naira to buy cars for the office of the first lady.

That's where those taxes are going to.

Isn't it better for those gaming companies to withhold those taxes and use the money to employ more people and pay more workers.?

Which of the two scenarios would be better for Nigeria?

benardtotti:
Oga ! It is a proven fact Nigeria is under taxed , so where did you get your stats that Nigeria has high taxes ?,

For the poverty capital of the world?

What exactly did your govt do with the taxes they have collected?

Did tinubu not waste $500,000 on a newyork hotel in one week?

Or you think the money came from the air?

Which decent country can such happen and the president would not be impeached or face political consequences.?

benardtotti:
Leave them, many of them don't understand basic economics and public administration.

You are supporting a clown that is vomiting wrong economic theories that's only true in a banana republic like Nigeria.

That's the kind of argument a corrupt politician in Nigeria would say.

In which country in the world do you see where high taxes are paid and there is no single welfare benefits for the poor, aged and the unemployed?

Just give me one.

codemaniacs:
IGR is income of the state government which will be used to pay state government employees salaries, bonuses to state government, health insurance for state govt employees, state senators, state infrastructure maintenance expenses. maintain state government computer servers, court cases settlement against the state government , construction of better public facilities e.t.c.

In a private business, the business IGR is their income which is used to pay employees salaries, bonuses, health insurance e.t.c. and only the standard of living of the employees can improve.

unemployed people's standard of living can never improve magically and miraculously.

A state government IGR is similar to a private business profits, only difference is the state government has more employees to pay and more infrastructure to maintain.

you're a illiterate if you think high IGR equals improve standard of living of everyone.

A high IGR should mean improved standard of living for everyone.

States and countries with high taxes have high standard of living and a strong welfare system.

Unemployed people get welfare from the state.

From the UK, Finland, France, Sweden, Germany, America, to even south Africa here.
High IGR leads to more welfare benefits.

The igr is coming from taxes and taxes are supposed to make life better for the majority.
That's how it's any where in the world.

iGR is not for igr sake.
High IGR means more social welfare and benefits.

The reason why you are not benefiting a single thing from the IGR is because one baba somewhere and his boys has cornered the majority of the funds.

What has the Nigerian govt contributed to the gaming industries that they want to tax?

To give tinubu more money to waste on newyork hotels or to buy luxurious cars for corrupt lawmakers.?

What's the essence of the taxes we pay?

It's like wike does not know where he comes from.

Too much association with Yoruba baba so pe politicians have deluded him.

Jumping right into the waiting arms of hell.

JagabanB:
I can't remember asking u for financial support, did I ask you?
My family members do fall sick and we go to hospital for treatment, hospitals I go to, I haven't seen the prices of goods and commodities that u all keep blabbing about on the internet.
Just last week I was in the hospital.
Borrowing is part of life, did u read somewhere that borrowing is a crime?
U folks couldn't afford hospital bills under Obi in Anambra but somehow he's ur messiah and he would be sharing money to every citizen in Nigeria right now and life will be so sweet like Nîgeriàns have never experienced before.
Is that not so??

May Nigeria happen to you.
Dimwit.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
You guys can never learn. Why una stubborn like dis?

The igbo.

A lot of brawns, not enough brains.

What exactly does he hope to benefit by inserting the igbo into this?

Tinubu supporters.

You will cry for 8yrs.

bhella10:
Tinubu removed him not the North

Yeah.

It was tinubu that was churning out those millions of votes in Katsina, Kaduna and Kano.

He was just a useful idiot, nothing more.

The cane they used for the first wife is still available.

Boldideas:
Hmm.. Since when did Amaechi become a saint?😀😁😂😁😀

He's not saying he's a saint.

He's saying that he's a thief and if he ran for elections, he would win because he would get votes.

Ay04z:
Vote don't count... It by selection.. Dey know d next person Dat will continue after tinubu

Votes count.

If it didn't, obi won't get over 6 million.

The problem is that a lot of Nigerians are stupid and vote wrongly and then suffer for it.

obawinner:
if you have had half a political leader like Awolowo, you would have progressed beyond crying each electoral cycle, kanu and the Finland controller heading your state

I an from Delta state, but I will bite.

When awolowo was alive, he was playing second fiddle to azikiwe.

Not that it matters.

BigYash:
They won't turn bro. When elections are close,he will start paying them huge sum.. They will still work for him.. Remember he is now in charge of national treasury.. So anything he wants ,he gets.. He has the military backing, because he pay them very well.. I heard they now have tinubu allowance in the military. So ,bros leave matter o.. Nigerians are in for a long ride.

Jonathan paid money too, but they still turned.

Though I believe, tinubu has the advantage of religion.
The north loves their Islam.
They may tolerate him for religious sake.

They may just chalk it up and see tinubu through his 8yrs.

So you are probably right.

obawinner:
Wr must give south eastern the credit they are so good at divisive politics.

They have tried divided middle belt, failed.

Pitted Yoruba Muslim vs Yoruba christian, failed.
Yoruba vs Yoruba but.
Christian north vs Muslim North.

Done everything humanly possible, what they don't know is a political ideology built on divisive, short term is bound to fail.

Yeah.

Like Yoruba ronu brand of politics.
The most divisive nonsense ever seen since awolowo.

Na sit down look we dey look una.
Whatever goes up must come down.

Whichever the case, all the tinubu boys and girls would be out of office in the next 8yrs at the maximum.

The only thing that can save tinubu politically is if the north just decided to allow him finish 8yrs as president so that they can get back their guaranteed next term and then remove all those Yoruba clowns tinubu placed in govt.

The north may just decide that it's better not to gamble and just wait out tinubu's 8yrs.

It's the less riskier bet for them.

BigYash:
Tinubu is not Jonathan. You think this is democracy we're in? He will still use inec,and use judiciary to complete the rest.

There's only so much Inec can do.

Tinubu was able to rig because he had political foot soldiers everywhere on the ground that did his bidding.

When those foot soldiers turn, there's absolutely nothing he can do.

netpro:
NEW STRATEGY

Obidents want to pit the North against Tinubu.

It will not work. Everyone can see through your charade. It seems it is the instructions from your WhatsApp Group. See all the Miscreants falling over themselves.

You must think the North are idiots.

Tinubu got into power in exchange for servitude to the North.

He got there and turned govt into oduduwa association and left the north holding the bag.

And now you want to fool them with vibes and inshallah.

BigYash:
It will be very hard for them to remove a sitting president.

They removed Jonathan.
Tinubu is not an exception, especially when he has no Southern support outside his region.

haha.

The guy got in there and turned FEC to yoruba ronu association.

Anyway, 2027 is there. I am sure they are waiting for the next elections.

youngsahito:
you can wail till thy kingdom come, nobody give a shit about your crocodie tears.

You will by the time tinubu is done with your economy.

Treasonous.

She deserves the death penalty anyway.

Raskimonojendor:
He is more of a regional politician. Tinubu was at this stage like 13 years ago. Obi has a lot of catching up to do i.e. building alliances with other part of the country.

A regional politician that won Lagos, Abuja and a few States in the north.?

It's easy to say when tinubu only ran for president under an incumbent party with strongholds everywhere.

If he had ran for president under the ACN, we would have seen how much of a national candidate he truly was.

I am certain that tinubu would never gotten half the votes obi got under the same condition.

Pdp denied obi the use of its national structure and that was the advantage that tinubu had.

And It's not because obi did not try to make alliances or appeal across the nation.
It was just due to money politics.

It also made it easy for him to be rigged out or suppressed in key states like rivers.

Simple and short.

Raskimonojendor:
They knew it would divide them but they were greedy and threw caution to the wind.

They were greedy and overconfident.
Thought they would always have the east in the bag.

Had a good candidate and they threw it away for ghana-must-go politicians.

The only thing that would save them in 2027 is if Peter obi returns back to their party or does not even run at all in any other party.

As long as Peter obi keeps running for office outside pdp, they are screwed.
He will keep getting the votes over any candidate they have.

feedthenation:
---Peter Obi will always remain a light-weight politician---

A featherweight politician that got over 6 million votes in a third force party on first attempt.

By 2027, both apc and pdp would be scrambling for a piece of Peter obi.

As it stands now, there is no politician in Southern Nigeria that's as credible or marketable.

And his marketability would keep soaring as tinubu wrecks the economy towards the next election.

Hating igbos from morning till night will not change that.

Idiots.

What's your cgpa?

Anything short of that and you have not started telling the story.

Loss of industrialisation and productivity
