Nobody loves to pay tax ! But we have to give Caesar His !
Nigeria is one of the best country where taxes are circumvented.

Tax free real estate properties, autos  etc. Many businesses are not registered with the government. Those that are registered prefer to settle tax officials to paying the accrued tax. Look at Vaswani Brothers. No wonder foreign investors love putting their money in our country cos they know they can eat the meat together with the bile.  Is this normal or am I over reacting ? People won't even mind to avoid Value Added Tax.

The nigerian situation is becoming more pathetic by the day. It looks almost irredeemable from all angles.

Day in day out, we hear of how people embezzle the public funds without being questioned. Those appointed to probe the embezzlers end up doing the same thing.
Corruption in the public and private institutions of the country.
Assassinations and assassination attempts.
No attempts to revitalize the fast decaying infrastructures like roads, railways, airline, schools, hospital and most importantly power generating plants. Our refineries are not even in the picture anymore.
Nothing is being done to tackle the ever rising unemployment rate.
Nothing is being done to rehabilitate, reorient and reconstruct the police force.
In most cases, one has to become a heartless wicked crook who will be willing to kill or cheat before you can have a bit of good life in nigeria.
The worst part is that Nigerians have become so used to being intimidated and pushed around by their leaders to the extent that they believe it's a normal life; the "will of god as most will say".
Everybody seem to have lost their common sense of reasoning.

There is no need of you barking like a dog to attract tourist to Nigeria, tell madam re- brandind to fix electricity, security of life and property, road, hospital etc. The tourist will come to Nigeria

sevao now (which one u dey)

for God sake we are rich in oil, yet we have no oil. where in the world, do you see people queuing up for fuel, except in countries ravaged with ongoing wars. are there any wars here.

my brother, let her talk. i'll bet u right now she's sitting in a room with a/c with most likely the gen running. she was born wit a silver spoon in her mouth and has 24hrs access to light, diesel, water, petrol and probably has a helicopter to take her to school and back so she doesn't have to experience what everyone else does. if she did, she wouldn't say what she was saying.

why not go outside and sit in the sun for 4 hours and then come back and reply.

On the way to my office this morning, the roads were blocked with vehicles. People has formed 4 lanes on a 2-lane road, blocking oncoming traffic and making the situation extremely chaotic. Why argue that the Government must build more roads and bridges whereas the existing ones are rendered impassable due to the actions of stupid and impatient Nigerians?

As a tax payer, i easily blame NEPA for not providing power. At the same time i'd be silly not to blame the millions of Nigerians that do not pay NEPA bills, that rely on illegal connections to tap electricity. I also will heap a hefty portion of the blame on those millitants that routinely blow up gas pipelines, reducing the feedstock to our gas powered generating plants. And these are ordinary Nigerians, not our 'leaders'.

if ordinary Nigerians could have had the courage to perform basic first aid.

Are they that many people queuing up for Visas to the US/UK in those countries?
Are there that many scammers and fraudsters trying to forge visa documents in those countries?
