Lets not go into Yaradua and Jonathan's matter for now and stick with Dankwanbo. Nigerians do not know who Dankwanbo is, you and I do not know who he is. Have you ever heard the man express his views on any pressing national issue? Even here in the north except for those of us who are politically conscious, very few have even heard of his name. Is this the guy you feel can rally support for his presidential bid from northern Nigeria's complex ethno-religious make up against a more known Buhari? I'm not even going to the south where less than one in ten voters have ever even heard of him before

DeRay98:
My friend zoning has never included the minorities. Its either Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba.
Jonathan didn't get it on zoning but on the sentiments of his Yar Adua incumbency...
I don't like PDP but I'd fancy Donald Duke's Presidency.

Maduawuchukwu:
I totally support increased state taxes. It will produce greater revenue as well as make people more willing to hold their state excos to account but in a restructured Nigeria, there will be no indigene/settler dichotomy in tax. The constitution outlaws discrimination.

LordAdam16:
Restructuring would likely be by regions.

And the issue with taxes is that it'd only get worse, whether we restructure or not. That much is certain.

So don't blackmail people into rejecting restructuring on the false hope that it'd magically make the government stop emphasizing on increasing their tax revenue.

With the current centralist government, it's hard to hold anyone responsible for the rot. In a restructured Nigeria, it'd be much easier. If you have a grievance, it'd be far easier to mobilize people to storm your state or regional capital, than travel all the way to Abuja.

If the country is working, few people would complain about a 0.05% property tax. In the US, the average is 1.15%. That's over 20 times higher.

But as the country stands, every kobo of tax paid is a waste. Complete waste and is actually extortion.

And another issue is that they're backdating the tax. If they started sharing this year, there's no reason why they have to calculate from the start of the fifth republic. The OP's uncle should liaise with the landlord's association and take the issue to the state house of assembly or charge the government to court.

Is it not an APC govt? They fear neither man nor God when they want to exploit their citizens

frankdGreat125:
Buhari n his illiterate soldiers should stop provoking us more.
If all dis continues, we will a play a music dat Nigeria will not b able to dance it.

chalsnoble:
and am sure it started from the North

Bolustical:
IMO, the core North i.e the NW see the other north as instrument of electoral victory, nothing more! And I will not blame the core north too much, the Middle Belt has not done much in producing leaders with national clout, leaders who at least, people can count on their legacy for years to come.

The way Benue, Kogi and Kwara have been governed since 1999 has left much to be desired. No one in his right senses will consider past and current governors from these states for any presidential position.

Whizzcute:
I still find it hard to believe that runtown owns a 150M ride.

banmee:
Again i ask; have you seen it up close?

eagleeye2:
And nobody is shooting anybody or moving heavy military artillery in a show of force.

SalamRushdie:

jamex93:

I never went, because I really did not trust the whole stuff

Incrizz:
What sand?
That's cement.

Josephjnr:
Your brain can actually do better than this,don't limit it with this mentality.

SIRmanjar:

Reference:
if it is boring it should cause you to doze off not keep awake typing epistles. Like those who spend every waking minute talking about Ipob, secession and Kanu yet called it, them inconsequential.... I just can't put the two scenarios together. But we can understand the 'bold face' as we say.
