Beancounter94:
For every nice thing they have in Denmark they pay a tax rate of 46% with a tax to gdp ratio of 46%
Nigeria has a tax rate of 24% or less with a tax to gdp ratio of 6.1%. Plus only 30% of the taxable population actually pays taxes
Danish gdp is also higher than Nigerian gdp.


But if the government wants to go that high you guys will complain.

When they tell you to do the work to change your economy from oil dependent to industrial dependency you guys will say it is too hard.

And before you start I don't like APC or pdp. But you guys have to be realistic. You cannot have a Ferrari at the price of a bicycle

oga the tax thing is simple, just enforce it with equity and justice without sacred guys and favouritism and people will pay. Nobody in any part of the world wants to pay tax but when you have no option than to pay, you will surely pay.

Are you aware that from the president to the governors and national assembly members do not pay tax at all according to our yeye constitution, how can those who make tax laws do not pay tax themselves according to the same law. We got to fix that bruv

Baawahala:
The call for Osibanjo is a tribal call,not a sincere national call...

na the call for atiku, obi and the likes be national call abi, I laugh in Spanish

gawu1:
The Dundee president has successfully put your supreme leader in cage. For good eight days your supreme leader was in captivity none of you pigs detected it until when his captured was announced with picture of the monkey shown to the public. The hunchback albino porn star and the pigs leader is still languishing in the zoo cage with no sign of relief any soon.
Meanwhile, did you read the below from the best you pigs can produce for presidency in the coming 2023 election? What is the economic sense in this. How can someone who claims to have economics sense dismissed infrastructural development as not means for development?

''The former governor faulted attempt by the President at stimulating the economy through construction and revitalisation of infrastructure, saying building infrastructure will not automatically boost the country’s economy''.
May God save us from Obi China economy sense.

Omo I tire for obi o. Nobody can never go wrong on infrastructure. I wonder where this is coming from. If PMB had focused bon SMEs same obi would have still criticized saying why focus on SMEs instead of infrastructure. Chai

this is how endsars despite how it began peacefully ended up in smoke,

FG will only start cashing out more on the SE by procuring more arms to deal with these miscreants and placing in the annual budget as they do for the NE and NW now while praying it will never end. New billionaires will emerge on top of this nonsense

Ofadaman:
Irrespective of how we feel hatred towards discrimination, never seed your future in the hands of miscreant, the problem is those who have what it takes to lead don't have the confidence to come out and then empty barrels will make that decision, be weary of movement that take advantage of your emotions and spearheaded by confident illerates because when the agitation is over, you'd end up with authoritarian uncompassionate fools as your leader

but will we ever learn?

Mynd44:
Why do these people do this? Its not like the new party can win the election or is er that he just has miney he wants to waste?

Maybe to build clout for the next election

eplanning:
Dull man. And I have concluded that he is equally selfish and without integrity, otherwise he would have resigned.

resign for your father to take over abi,

You guys are just funny human beings

so na appointment this man still dey find upadan

activism is big business in naija now, this is what the likes of igboho and kanu wanted

all na scam

nathyx:
Good question Sir. Particularly I don't know but is it that the FEC is now using the activeness of respective Senators and Rep members in allocating proposed crucial development projects

The reps are there to influence and lobby for FG projects to their constituencies. Lest we forget they have oversight on these projects and the FEC is accountable to them

nathyx:
The major problem with Nigeria is political sentiment and this has become the order of progress How can after all the above mentioned proposed rail routes I can't find anyone allocated to Benue state the food basket of the nation This is so because our leaders have neglected necessary functionalities and focused on their individual places of abode for centered development nonsense!

Do Benue state not have representatives in the national assembly? What are their senators and reps collecting huge allowances for?

mrvitalis:
I wonder how this government thinks really ...a poor nation like Nigeria spending 12 billion dollars on a phantom project that won't break even for 100 years ....there are far more important was that would use that money that would have far more impact on the economy

$1billion $300 million each can reactivate warri ,port Harcourt and Calabar ports ...$100 to by boats to secure the sea routes

$4 billion invested in our transmission line would increase transmission capability from 5000mw to over 12000mw ... electricity supply would double ...I mean double because we have installed capacity of about 15,000mw

$5 billion grants to 10 top importers of goods we can easily produce here to start producing them in Nigeria ...or if we have struggling producers top 10 ...pick like 10 to 20 products

Like ceramics , glass , cloths , chocolates ,drugs and the likes ...this would create over 300,000 jobs directly and provide revenue of over 300 billion a year in taxes


This project would have far more reaching impact on our GDP than this phantom rail system that's nothing but a feel good project

Abuja kaduna rail would break even at the current profit rate in over 101 years

I'm waiting to see the figures for Lagos ibadan rail but my estimate suggest 160 years to break even that's if repairs are not made even

If the rail was passing through your village you won't be saying this.

What do we actually want for naija. If the govt did nothing we will complain, now they are doing something yes it may be inflated and sound overbloated but this is Africa, we need infrastructure like this else nothing at all will be done at all including all the suggested alternatives you have listed here.

Like I always say, you can never go wrong on infrastructure no matter how expensive it is. Persons, goods and services must always be moved from one point to another.

Nobody owns Nigeria, when their tenure expires, they will handover, simple.

Handsum64:
All these tithes collectors without responsibility should at least have some shame.
So everything now is just about the money, where is salvation in the equation?
Unfortunately, the gullibles will urge him on.

He just revealed his real motive, money, money, money. The man likes to be in the news and he's seeing an opportunity of his content being circulated for more cash. Am ashamed. What he's saying is that he doesn't mind the insults if it brings in money

so it's about the money at the end of the day. The real motive behind the miracle alert promo

she try o, seeing both son and grandson rise to prominence. That's an overloaded blessing

28plus:
I'm no fan of Osinbajo, but I'm very sure that nobody in your lineage has ever come close to achieving what Osinbajo has achieved.
But because you're in a faceless forum, you had the impetus to call him "CLOWN".
You try!

This same man you call a clown is someone every member of your lineage will sacrifice anything to share a meal with.


I don't blame idiots like you, I blame Seun for giving every nonentity like you a good platform to air his dumb opinion.

don't mind those idiots, most Nigerians desire an osibanjo in their lineage but since they can never have him, he must be brought down by all means. That's how Nigerians are, if I can't have it then let it be destroyed forever, It's a major issue within our society.

CSTRR:
You are a collosal imp.

Deng Xiao ping that changed China forever was just a simple Farmer.

Xi Jin ping also had modest beginnings.

Your osibanjo even with all his padded degrees does not hold a candle to any of them.

Common sense and leadership is not a function of empty oratory, accelerated education and padded degrees.

I will do better than osibanjo 100% if given the opportunity he has in govt .

And I am not even the smartest in my family.

talk is cheap,

Web2020:
This is how useless the VP position is in Nigeria. This position is what they are using to deceive wike. To me, governor is more powerful than VP.

You're very right o

WibusJaga:
Show me any disease in this world you can contract and later get healed all without knowing it, and I will show you a Scamdemic.

At your age?

FarahAideed:
Volte facing CBN doing what they do best ..by Monday they reverse again ... There is no reason why Nigeria is running the parallel forex market if not corruption!!!!! Well it's the North that benefits from this BDC crime family the most so expect a reversal soon

until we fix that parallel shit, we ain't moving anywhere

abhosts:
So why not sell directly to banks so that customers can have a higher dollar spending limit of their Naira Cards?

I tire o, this country you can never understand some things

Philomath1212:
Seems you are not in Naija..
They had stopped the shxt countless times, it didn't hold water...
Aboki will still get dollar

Soludo did the same but was later reversed when sanusi took over.

How I wish it can never be undone, why must we have different rates as the official and black market, who does that?

JoeEeL:
Mehn... don't let me lie.

I am one of those men who do underestimate the depth of evil women can do. I had always thought extreme capriciousness in evil was the preserve of men only. I could manage to believe the same for women too, the elderly at least.

But with that Unilag girl saga, and now this young one, I am beginning to have a big rethink. Ladies have big hearts.

ladies are actually more intelligent than men, I have battled for long not to agree with his punchline until now

OChimex:
You either didn't read to think and understand, or you just read to criticise. There is what is called scale of preference. Ranking your needs according to how pressing they are. Roads can be just simple and basic depending on the urban population, not 10 storey flyover skyscrapers of roads for pedestrians. Use that money instead for more pressing need.

There is what is called basic infrastructure. That's what most cities and states need in nigeria not wasting resources making your roads look like what you will see in Tokyo Japan, or Beijin China, where as you have population as poor as church rats hungrily walking that beautiful roads barefooted.

Roads like those when you see them in developed countries, you see fancy cars flooding and plying the roads in millions and rich well dressed humans not wheel barrow pushers and hawkers using the roads

Guy you must be a sadist. Kano is a very big city and commercial hub of the north and not a simple town like that so this sophisticated infrastructure is a welcome development.

If this was in your own town, you won't be talking like this but be proud. Let's stop this hypocrisy by running others down. You can't be the one to dictate their scale of preference.

Again infrastructure whether basic or complex is a winner anywhere anytime

OChimex:
You are so on point but lots of people will not undersrand. Development is all about what the people really need. The infrastructure is wonderful and commendable, but if a city like Lagos has this, then it will be more needed.

Just watch how scanty the roads are, you can count the cars, Keke and bikes, showing the infrastucture is under-utilized.
What people need in this environment is more of investing in human capital development, which will have a more faster payback period, especially when the resources are very scarce and meager.

Infrastructure is built according to the need of the people. Rural roads for farmers to bring out their produce maybe more needed than building eight storey building flyovers upon flyovers for keke and 5 cars and pedestrians

You can never go wrong on infrastructure in any town or city. It's the bedrock of development as goods and services including education and agriculture needs to be moved here and there. Schools need good roads to be accessible for all and farms for produce to be easily transported.

Kano needs to be commended. The next governor can also focus on agric or education.

If the roads are not good, are we not going to complain?

Dumebi213:
Go to their office and inform the guard at the gate that you want to book an appointment manually, he'll direct you to where you'll fill the form (This was how I did mine)

The dates at the gate might be far so according to some people on this thread, you can wait till around 2 or 3 pm and inform them that you want to get a closer date, show them evidence so to why you should be given one and they'll book you for a closer date (ps. I don't know how this second one works, this is just based on what people have said so take with a pinch of salt)

Many thanks.

Dumebi213:
I did mine around 2pm and the doctor said to come back on monday by 12pm (I plan to go earlier).

That is just my experience, and the advice is so they can plan well and not get their hopes up.

If I may ask was your name on the main list? Because most of who did early manual booking last month didn't have our names on it, they had to bring the raw list out.

Please how do you do manual booking? asking for a friend

We need to be careful in Lagos with this delta variant

Anambra 1st son will never be in a thread like this, na to dey post pictures and stats of Anambra as the most developed state.

I just dey laugh, the onitsha story has always been there for ages, it's nothing new at all. The so called gateway to the SE. Nonsense

Wahala be like oniduro for zuma o

No one is holding the igbos from exiting Nigeria.

It's a simple thing to do, get your national assembly members to push for constitution amendments to include a referendum. Anything else is emotional blackmail as you can't expect non igbos to legislate for a matter that's does not affect them directly. The Biafra ish is a regional matter and not a national one.

Same with issues like Boko Haram, banditry and the likes. They are not national matters but regional issues that can only be addressed by those from the region it concerns

Judolisco:
na real problem be dis oh... But people don't know.... A northerner will do anything to get his brother into the system even if it is a role of a security officer... In 10 yrs time to back and check he is no longer a security officer but has been promoted because he furthered his studies.. But if na Yoruba man u go hear... Go and further even with a good bachelors degree he is not ready to stick out his head to help his fellow brother.. Some will even tell you to keep praying... D hausa man that helped you get an appointment will also send his son to meet you after he is out of service and the cycle will continue

You and the guy you quoted are very right. Am ashamed as a Yoruba man but it's true. I have a close relative that works directly in aso rock with PMB himself but he can't move a fly for anyone. It's so sad. Reason most southerners especially yorubas no too give a damn about the presidency. If not for the insecurity that has invaded the SW of late, I no too care about the presidency ish.
