1.Nigeria's tax to gdp ratio is 6.1%

2.30% of taxable Nigerians are actually taxed...that's where all those taxes come from

3.Our budget is 10 trillion. For a nation our size, we need far more than that.

4.I am aware you pay tax, So do i...but most of us who are in the informal sector don't pay taxes.

I guess you have read about how they overcame, so what efforts are you, as a citizen, putting into achieving the same feat? Or, what advice do you have for the Nigerians?

SimplyFacts:
For as long as Naija does not get better, we would continue to suffer either at home or abroad. Even if we manage to get citizenship in white lands, racism would continue to be a thorn in our flesh. The best we can do is to keep praying & hoping things get better. And before Naija packs up, higher % of African countries must have packed up. There are worse nations out there whose citizens still pray they have a country as Nigeria.

If you think you are poor, don't forget some people are poorer.

Ogun tax to gdp ratio is below 3%

New York tax to.gdp ratio is above 30%

There is a reason why one has modern firefighting equipment and one has ancient equipment.

But tell Nigerians we need to pay taxes

1. We are.poor

2. The politicans will loot the money ( and when you tell them it is their job to.see the politicans don't loot their money they then blame the Hausas).

No problem. Auntie Christine and Auntie Liu will give us another loan if we ask nicely

Hype merchant. 99. 9% of farms in Nigeria have NOT been taken over by anybody. Millions of Nigerians are going to their farms daily and returning home safe and sound.

Excuse making experts.

40,000 people get shot dead each year in the USA.

But if they give you visa you will rush there tonight.

We'll both agree that ghanians enjoy cheaper and stable power supply than Nigerians on one hand and the average ghanian city (accra, kumasi ) is safer than the average nigerian city. In the area of economic strength, output and prosperity Ghanians/Ghana is no match to Nigeria. Nigerian cities are more developed than Ghanian cities (Accra is the most developed Ghanian city).

The reason I'm emphasizing this is that prior to 2015 I had been to cities in europe , north america and two middle eastern cities and I was hearingso much about how nigeria was a shithole and how ghana was everything that Nigeria was not. Then 2015 came with my girlfriend moving to accra. I made many trips there and was disappointed probably because my expectations were high. I later got a job in 2016 that got travelling to banjul, monrovia, accra, addis ababa, nairobi , j'burg, cotonou, dar es salaam, maputo, luanda and dakar. Of all these cities only nairobi , j'burg and to some extent luanda impressed me. Nigerian cities of Lagos (particularly lagos island) and abuja were far ahead of these cities. In fact the locals in most of these cities still serve the europeans and from the hotel to the gym to the restaurants the locals were more like workers to the white people there. Nigerians own and run most of the businesses in Nigeria. In these countries the white man is still seen and regarded as the alpha & omega. In ethiopia the chinese run the show from sme to the big sectors. This experience made me respect the hardworking Nigerian man/woman more.
If Nigeria had a better government the issue of security and power will not even be as pronounced as it is but amidst all these challenges the Nigerian man/woman has built strong enterprises and a much stronger economy than any of the countries in west africa. Look at the area of aviation, ghana has not been able to build both private or national airlines. In nigeria the govt failed in its quest to build a national airline yet nigerian investors built arik, air peace, associated airlines, bristow and now green africa. In the area of banks nigerian banks play a dominant role in ghana with the government constantly squeezing them and threatening their existence. In telecoms Glo is also been squuezed but managing to survive. In ghana african world airline is owned by the chinese and not ghana or ghanians. Down to the sme sector the ghanian investment promotion council recently went round shutting down shops owned by Nigerians as there businesses were performing better than that of the ghanians.

I can go on and on but I dont subscribe to the notion of seeing nothing good in Nigeria/nigerians aside negativity . Every society or country has its positives and negatives

Coronabirus:
You're a true definition of illiteracy. The way u mock us & persistently allege tthat we created monster that is consuming us is the same way u'll regret creating this disaster. When the total destruction started, when business is shut down and lost, when u find urself begging for food in IDP camp soon you'll realise how daft you're.
You just shift from the topic and spit this nonsense amidst the issue of killing innocent people.
Tactically, your people are deliberately allowed to show the whole world their atrocities before govt take charge so that when the operation starts your usual cries to UN, EU will serve as nothing, you'll be treated like all other terror groups.
Savages!

When you say Ghana is ahead of Nigeria kindly specify in what areas. It was this same kind of praises I heard and decided to visit Ghana for the first time in 2015. Between then and now I’ve made 5 visits and will liken Accra to a city like port harcourt. Definitely not at par with Lagos and Abuja in terms of development. If a city is quiet and free from the hustle & bustle of another city it doesn’t mean it is ahead. Every city has its pros and cons. It’s just like comparing Mozambique with Angola and saying Mozambique is ahead of Angola

Rich4god:
We condem any form of attack against the force. You won't know the importance of the police in our community until they stop going to work entirely. That's when you will knw that a lot of criminals are afraid of just the presence of police formation.

And to those supporting this evil. Remember, ten years ago, that's how boko haram started by killing police officers. When they no longer have officers to attack, it's the innocent citizens that will suffer it...


It's high time we join hands to find a way and stop all these attack going on in South East.

I wept the day a graduate told me she earns N21,000 as a teacher! I have seen a husband and wife work in the same private school

How them won take cope Na to incur debts and go on borrowing spree hoping to find another better job

Still go on hunger strike, living within your means no be for this matter

Imagine paying for shelter (even a room), feeding your kids, transportation, paying school fees miscellaneous e.t.c from N21,000

It's terrible! Nigerians are roughed men! I give it to them!!!

Many of these private schools can afford to pay a better salary but instead they prefer to buy properties and keep building schools at the detriment of their staffs

If the government can help families by regulating some of these private schools also in terms of salaries, it will be a step forward!!!

You are hiding from the truth, but the truth will always stare hard at you, whether you like it or not.

demsy21:
Let's all stop all this negative views about our own country all the time even if it's true. It doesn't give a good picture to the outside world. What I believe about this very country is one thing, and that's what should keep us holding on: "The potential is there, all it needs is a spark! It will come at the right time when enemies of Nigeria's progress least expected.

If you get money, even if na 850k try to go Dubai make you start afresh. I rather be a third hand citizen than a dog in Nigeria. Everyday wake up, bath, after bathing I don’t know where to go than to go smoke weed. Teacher work 20k. 20k way no reach buhari dog breakfast na person salary for a month.

11. A PRESIDENT WITHOUT WAEC CERTIFICATE..

It is indeed a shameful and unbelievable fact that the president of the world most populous black nation is a primary school dropout. This was made manifest when the citizens demanded for the certificate of the cow lover illiterate, but he brought SAN's and NEPA bill to defend himself.


12. UNEMPLOYED SON OF THE PRESIDENT PURCHASING A POWER BIKE WORTH MILLIONS..


We all know that the son of the president is an unemployed dunce who sits at home to watch Nickelodeon and Arewa hit jams, but how he got Millions to purchase power bike and gallivant with it all over Abuja is really unbelievable.


13. A NOTORIOUS COCAINE LOVER AND BULLION VAN AMBASSADOR WANTS TO BECOME PRESIDENT..

Prior to the 2019 general elections, a certain Bola Ahmed Tinubu, popularly known to many as "Bobo Chicago" was seen directing bullion vans filled with cash into his Bourdillion residence like a road safety marshall. The Iragbiji born thief during his tenure as governor of Lagos State looted the Center of Excellence dry by awarding contracts to his cronies and diverting funds to his personal bank account.

Really unbelievable that a notorious thief have the impetus to contest for the post of President.



14. THE NEW "BABARIGA SAVINGS ACCOUNT" BY GANDUJE...


A certain Umar Ganduje who is the governor of Kano State has shown us that we can actually save our hard currencies in a special flowing gown like parachute called "Babariga" by the Hausa's and "Agbada" by the Yoruba's.

It is unbelievable that Nigerians haven't keyed into this secured style of saving money.



15. THE BUHARI MEDIA COW'S (BMC)..

As the name implies, these set of cow's will go at any length to defend the useless administration of general Buhari who has a knack for oppressing the masses with dumb and archaic ideas for a paltry sum of N30K.

These irredeemable brain dead zombies can go as attacking their love one's who are not in support of this useless administration.

We have them littered all over the cyberspace and they're being led by one vulture meat business man in this forum.

Ok today a girl came to do her hair at my neighbor's place. She is beautiful and all so I thought to myself maybe I should take a shot who knows?

Because i've been having this battle with myself for so long whether or not I can attract a girl again because I swear its been long I had anything romantic to do with any lady and I sincerely miss a woman (romantically) in my life (masturbation eyaf tire me).

Thankfully my neighbor is a hair stylist but based her business at our compound so I do see enough beauties that do come along for their hair styling and luckily today this one enter my den.

Seriously I've had thoughts to approach some of them one of these days but considering the economic situation of my pocket so its a no brainer to just carry face and do like say I no sabi better thing..lol.

But for today I was on a mission (enough tori)

I started planning a scope to start up a convo with the women. The woman (my neighbor) is my good friend so she is not a problem but my target.

So I accessed the environment. The target in question is not more than 23 with nice curves and pretty face (these ones thier shakara no be here) so I needed to come up with a tactics to diffuse any intending notion of her acknowledging that she is the target of my howbeit surprising exhilaration (my neighbor was surprised).

I learnt from experience to not give this type of target any clue that you are tryna aquaint with them. In fact the opposite works here (though with subtlety) so I was walking up and down in search of nothing.

Later I decided to go have my bath. The bathroom path and location would have the target and I see each other. So I proceeded with the plan. When she saw me, she greeted me normally and I responded with my smiling face. Ofcoures I gotta show her my fine dentition (if you got it flaunt it) she smiled back. No wahala.

Inside the bathroom I was scheming, plotting my moves. It was getting intense in my head like I wanted to solve differential equations so I decided to forget all these and kind of flow with the tide.

I got out from the bathroom got to where she is our eyes jammed again. I removed my face at once. This girl sha..

.. I spent a while in my room, came out to check nothing (actually to check the target). I now went back inside and picked some of my clothes for washing..lol. Of course the location of my washing will be opposite where they are because that's where the well is located.

My easiest and most efficient ice breaker (works 100%) is to ask someone to explain something for me in their native lang.

In this case Naira Marley's song was playing somewhere (today is Easter Sunday so owanbe everywhere) I now asked my neighbor to help me interpret one of his lines. She couldn't explain it saying she doesn't listen to that type of music so I now asked the target. She immediately explained the line. We vibed about the meaning of the line and we talked normally that one pass.

Mehn taking a closer look at her hair I discovered she has this interesting hair. The target's hair was half blonde (from the top) and brown the other half. Like a good mixture of coffee and cream.

I asked the target if her hair is natural or she applied something on it which she gleefully answered that it was natural. I followed up complimenting her and everything was going well.

We ended up talking about Brazilian hair whether they could be natural peoples' hair or they are mere synthetic factory made hair. Gentlemen this s where I opened the discussion gate. We talked at length to the amazement of my neighbor. All my stay in that compound she hasn't seen me talk this much.

We laughed as we talked. Like that I use ask her name and phone number which she no waste time give me. Last last I ended up paying for the hair sha.

E fit be say she just use me pay for her hair like this o but I know what I know. Last last na only N300 I spend

Travel people ; My Greetings to you all.

I am a chronic lover of nature, travel and sightseeing.

Sometime back In 2009 I traveled to Lagos for the first time where I met a brother that was speaking a language that seem very strange and funny in my ears.

Out of curiosity I asked him. What language do you speak?

He told me the forgetable name and the part of Nigeria (middle belt) or Koggi state to be precise.

Out of curiosity I asked him once more, can you speak hausa?

He replied me with a (Yes)

He told me that he has lived in nearly to all northern state of Nigeria

He told me that many northerners speak hausa because hausa language seem like a general language of the north

He plainly told me that Hausas are not many.

He told me that there is the wrong misconception that hausa's are many. He plainly told me once more that hausa's people are not that many by population as they say

I told him that we the southerners think nearly to everyone from the north are hausa's

He said the reason why we southerners think hausa's are the majority is because most northerners can speak hausa's language just as every southerners can speak pidgin/english

They always told we southerners that hausas are the majority and someone from the north told me hausa's are not many in the north

How true is this?

@Limassol

You're a foolish man. I changed my tone to let you know its not a big deal, so no need for you to be overeacting. Look, red pill is not about beating your chest at women, ranting up and down to boost your esteem at the slightest prick to your ego.. It is a state of detachment where you're the least affected by the outcome of whatever she does.

She's the hottest bar tender in my joint every dude wants her...she rejects your type of alphas on a daily basis. But here I am hitting what you only see on TV or pay a chunk of cash for on a steady. You're a redpilled fanatic who don't know what its really about.. Just like the feminist fanatic who don't grasp the concept properly.

Try to show selective kindness to people every now and then.. And don't worry your alphamaleness won't depart you for doing that. Cheers!

Man from the beginning of this post we already said Nigeria is way more finer and civilized than Ghana but damn Ghana is 500 percent better than Nigeria
What else do you need in a country than Good roads, stable electricity, no pressure to be rich unlike Nigeria where young peeps keep committing suicide because the pressure are so much high , I have spent my lifetime in Nigeria and only spent 11 days now in Ghana and i am convinced it’s better than Nigeria so far and while you who prolly haven’t even gone to 10 states in Nigeria tankless of traveling out of your comfort zone keep yarning that it’s better than Ghana because someone posted a picture ... No wonder Doctors are now on strike while Buhari flew abroad for his medical treatment... A very stable light and i can’t even see Nepa Bill ( asked someone and they said they use a meter or something) or Nepa going up and down at least i arrived month ending(April 23) if it was in Nigeria na that same day I go see Nepa with 100k + Bill while person no get light reach 10 days out of 30 days in a month! Omo no Generator sound, no stupid horns everywhere on the road .

Well keep being Patriotic , I was once being like that until they killed my fellow citizens at Lekki Toll Gate.

It’s well
