PoliticsRe: Tax Law: VAT Hits Record ₦1 Trillion As New Sharing Era Begins by demstone: 2:10pm On Mar 04
STOP TALKING LIKE AN ILLITERATE MY DEAR BRODA:: 30K IN 2023 WAS EQUIVALENT TO $40 , YET 28 OF 36 STATES CLDNT PAY IT.. DAT 30K CLDNT EVEN BUY U A BAG OF RICE [40K PER BAG IN 2023].. TODAY EVERY STATE PAYS ATLEAST 70K [$51] ,WITH SOME STATES LIKE IMO & EBONYI PAYING AS MUCH AS #105K{$77].. NOT FORGETTING A BAG OF RICE IS STILL BTW 40K ND 55K DEPENDING ON D AREA .. MY BRODA DO U KNOW 2023 TO 2026 IS D FIRST TIME SINCE 2014 DAT 28 OF 36 STATES EARNED REGULAR SALARIES.. SOME LIKE ABIA. BENUE. ENUGU. OSUN OWED OVER 2YRS
reddingtonblack:
I should be re directing that question to You, are even sure you were not born yesterday

In the last 27yrs of democratic government ... No administration as boasted More than about REVENUE highest this Revenue Highiest that so it begs the question

What have Tinubu achieved with All this Revenue noise pollution ... As he attended well to health, are pensioneers fully paid, have they settled ASUU

Stop making stewpid noise in our ears ...High Revenue, whereas the 2026budget is on a Deficit and we are still anticipating more loans .. so what is the essence of Highiest Revenue thas my arguement

states are unable to pay workers salary 2023 Buh with the present Inflation rate how many Nigerian can live on that " salary" .. do you know much it cost to buy 50litres inside car now remove it from salary, do you know transport cost now

2023 is far better than now in all ramifications, security, electricity, fundamental human right, Smes startup ..name it

Tell me what good As come from more money to the governors, did Tinubu tell Nigerians subsidy removed will be shared to our governors was that the promise .. Sit your ass down undecided

To whom much is given much is expected, other govt dont have the kind of revenue Tinubu has

nairalanda1:
N500 billion can't do much , nor can N1 trillion.

N500 billion is 363 million dollars, 1 trillon naira is 726 million dollars.

We need our economy to be at about 500 billion dollars...not naira, dollars...before we can talk.

Your maths is off, old man.

JUST 2+ YRS AGO.. TOTAL REVENUE GENERATED FROM CRUDE OIL, VAT, COMPANY TAX, PORT REVENUE WAS ABT #500B[ $666MILLION DOLLARS USING #750/$ EXCHANGE AT D TIME].. TODAY VAT ALONE GIVES US #1TRILLION [ [$740MILLION DOLLARS USING $1350/$ EXCHANGE}.. U HAVE TO B DELIBERATELY MISCHIEVOUS NOT TO SEE DAT TINUBU IS NIGERIAS GREATEST LEADER OF ALL TIME
nairalanda1:
Well, I did, and note that I did not defend any criminals. Infact, I showed you why your political leaders are bad...up till today, our economy relies on oil alone. Sane nations have diversifed economies, even saner ones(to paraphrase Peter Obi) have manufacutring and productive industries as the basis of our economy. It's not just corruption that is wrong with our leaders, you see.



Well, let's assume we have a leader that would pay social security, unemployed and aged nigerians (and note that I did not say that they should be excused for not paying them, or that they are trying their best)...ie pay all those things for ALL NIGERIANS...including people in the villages and cities, as well as all the unemployed...not just unemployed university graduates.

1. 80% of government revenue comes from oil sales

2.At `under 2 million bpd, oil revenues can only generate about 70 billion dollars.

3. By my estimate, Nigeria would need to be generating somewhere around 500 billion dollars to do what you want. If not more

4. Our leaders are bad because since 1960, they haven't created that type of economy (meanwhile South Korea went from being behind most African nations in 1960 to where it is today).

So, I believe we need to stop corruption, let's make that clear...but on today's revenue, we can't pay all the folks you said they should pay...at the rates they should pay them in your mind.

That is why either we vote in a leadership that makes us a producer of industrial goods and services, and taxes 40% of the gdp or even more...or we forget about it. Because trying to pay unemployed, aged, and provide a social security net..something that developed countries incur a lot of debt doing so...is going to push us into a debt in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

P.S : Don't call me a supporter of corrupt leaders again. It shows you don't get what I am saying.
