Dazidon:
U think u know what u are saying


U believe i don't deserve better cuz I don't pay the tax required for better governance


U are generalising and comparing like a whatchamacallit

U believe i don't pay the required tax


Spits


Damn what you think

Damn the Damn!

Where have i mentioned that you don't pay takes......for everyone like you within the tax net,there are 4 others outside it.....so if you see the tax as a burden or counter productive,there are 4 others who don’t care but we we all get into that bracket and we all see govt taking that much from us,we will all seat up and hold that givt responsible.

Dazidon:
Stop this disgusting comparison

Tell that to those obidient reactionaries!!

jospepper:
Nigeria sells to foreigners, those foreigners then add their cut and sell to Dangote Refinery

What is the meaning of this and why is it allowed?

Our mumu suppose don do.

W e need a group of leaders that will come and do away with this rot.

What is wrong with that......dangote isn't the only refinery in nigeria so why should he get preferential treatment......he is only trying to be smart by half......rather than do what dangote is asking,I rather remove tarrif on renewable energy equipments such as solar and electric vehicles,if these can compete effectively with fossil fuel in the country, it will generally drive down the demand for pms......

There is a difference in someone doing something with good intention in mind and someone doing something with evil intention in mind.

Sorry Mr god......nah you know who be evil and who dey good.....nonsense and ingredient!!

Memphis357:
Tinubu is on a mission to kill Nigeria.
"I went to school when Goodluck Jonathan was President. That was during Nigeria's economic boom. Yet, I saw people struggle to pay N12k for school fees. I saw people come to school with N2k, N5k as pocket money. Some came with foodstuff and "remember the home you came from."

Flight to Benin was between N12k to N18k. I usually went to school, filling the biggest travelling box with provision, and it cost me N30k to do that. My pocket money was between N25 to N30k and it was sufficient. I was feeding my friends in hostel and was named most generous person in the hostel. I went to a to secondary school with children of the rich, so I already knew the other reality of life. What I was seeing in UNIBEN was a far cry. To do everything I listed above today, you need over 500k because this government has plunged us into darkness.

Now, in 2026, when our lives should have significantly improved from the progress made by the GEJ government, we went from the clueless Buhari to k!eller of hope Tinubu. Exchange rate is over the roof. Flight is exorbitant. Feeding is a luxury. School fees is out of the reach of two income household. People are dy!ng daily because they cant afford health care. The government is taxing people to d£ath. Yet, we have cl0wns defending the cost of living in a country that minimum wage is N70k.

Meanwhile, the money released for health care of 200m people was N36 million naira. NNPC stole N210 Trillion but it is the masses that should be taxed to raise money and the masses that should have to endure economic hardship and pay exorbitant fee to get the available po0r quality education. Today, people are paying above 100k to 500k for public education. Nons£nse!

I am very convinced you people defending this are m@d and with all due disrespect, you're very m@d........"

No subsidy for you,cry blood if you want...... we aren't going back to that era..... dont vote tinubu come 27,you can waste it on your obi but we are going to vote tinubu for what he is doing.

Economics is not only about the price of rice and garri........the headwinds from the Iranian debacle would subside and things will gradually return to normal,if you don't like it, you can as well love the country.

Renman:
Keep justifying ignorance! People with this kind of reasoning is the reason why Nigeria has remained stagnant for years!!!

Oya...compare Nigeria with china...or is Nigeria more populous than china?

How many years old is china compared to Nigeria,what is the ethnic demograhy of china......do you have any idea what china went through to get where they are right now or you think china just started yesterday.......it's only subsidy that was removed by tunubu you have hated the man more than the devil accusing him of depriving you from driving or owning your own car .....do you know how long the Chinese endured to even be able to afford a car let alone drive one......you were already gallivanting all around in Mercedes Benz cars and jeeps while the Chinese were riding bicycles,marrying several wives and concubines while the Chinese couldn't have more than 1 and couldn't birth more than 1 due to govt economic planning......you then want Nigeria to be like china overnight.

Hedonisco:
The quality of your thinking is abysmal - to put it very mildly. Looking for escape routes where none exists. Where was Malaysia or Singapore in 1960?

I don't waste my time discussing anything with you Tinubu tribal crusaders, because it is impossible to awaken someone who is pretending to be asleep.

What's the population of Singapore and Malaysia compared to ours......these countries have far less manifest diversity compared to ours with far higher GDP..... Malaysia is just about 35m with a far bigger GDP than ours.

LordBiden:
The reason why comparisons like these don't make sense is this,how can you compare a nation of over 7m people with massive oil deposit with one with over 200m people.

Obidients get brain B4.....comparing apples with oranges... Libya has more oil revenues than Nigeria with a far lesser population with one single language and religion and you compare with Nigeria with 450 ehnicities,with lesser oil revenues and over 10 times their population......

Hold who accountable?

People who believe in using hoodlums to attack peaceful protesters?

Same government that control the judiciary the way they want?

Same people who use remote control to upturn the outcome of election in osun state?

Have you noticed the increase of VIO, FRSC, NPF on our roads recently? They see this time as the perfect period to make it in life because nobody will challenge them due to the kind of what's happening at the top

😂

Oga!! You aren't reacting to these absurdities because you aren't heavily taxed and it hasn't gotten round.....by the time govt is taking 25% of ur profit or salary and that of everyone around you.....everyone would sit up and have one voice in holding govt accountable........50 naira per transaction is considered irrelevant by many, transport levies by drivers is considered irrelevant by those who don’t drive,market levies is not regarded as significant by those who arent Traders,many don't even know what PAYE is because they aren't in paid employment......but when this tax law becomes effective,it will touch everyone and everyone will feel bothered.

yesloaded:
Make the best use of your Google or ask those loving over there

Also, people pay taxes even on data that we use.

Those agbero collecting money from commercial transporter mp dey chop the money buy remitting some parts to the government while the transporter pass the burden to passengers whereas there's nothing of such in Canada. You pay more than 4k naira on every 1 bag of cement that you buy (according to dangote analysis). You pay tax when you shop in the supermarket, you pay tax when you subscribe your paytv, you pay lots of indirect taxes but yoh no go know.

Mind you, the salaries that government workers earn in this country is not worth it still they pay tax

All these is what the new tax law seeks to regularise by harmonising the various taxes and. Rates so you have a bearing on govt finances nd eliminate all this illegal charges.......you nust be ready to pay taxes if you want all these you ask......nigerians are forever under the illusion that Nigeria is super rich which isn't true considering our revenues with our GDP......we aren't even as rich as texas a single state in the US.

When tax administration becomes effective, people will begin to get more involved in govt and hold them more accountable also govt would be forced to provide all the necessary amenities to enable you to be more productive to pay taxes......but right now fovt doesn't seem to care about the citizens much because they don't depend on them for income.

Shimmaa:
I don't understand, who owns the crude in our soil, is it owned by OPEC?

Oh my God!! Are you ficking kidding me right now?

ccollins:
when it comes to negative economics that will not favor the populace, U will compare Nigeria to canada and other developed countries. Have u cared to as well compare Nigeria government inactions and ineffective response in the lack of adequate electricity supply to that of 24hrs electricity supply in developed countries. You will not compare the good economics and decisions of those developed countries but you will compare the negative economics of crude oil abi

Have you paid the price or costs for those economies you so admire payed to get where they are...... your countries budget isn't upto that of NY state alone let alone carlifonia and you expect their king of educational standards and health standards......SA alone is generating 10 times the electricity your country generates for a larger population......are you paying as much taxes as they pay,are you producing as much as they produce,are you as disciplined as they are?

Ordinary tax reforms the govt has brought you have all been crying and shouting that tinubu wants to kill everyone but you want to enjoy American standards without paying the price.

Shimmaa:
Nigerian government are just selfish people, why are they charging dangote international rate to sell crude oil to him, I fear the kind of hardship that will hit people in the coming days.

There is an international cartel called OPEC that controls crude output and prices which Nigeria is obligated to as a member.......tinubu cannot determine how much crude is to be sold........lets accept without conceding that tinubu can decide that dangote should get his petrol cheaper than international rates just so you can get cheap petrol, you will still get to pay more because you have further incentivised smuggling which will attract higher prices than you are willing to pay and marketers will be willing to sell to them cause of higher margins and you would have only little to fight over thereby causing scarcity forcing you to pay more, now who looses?

koxyz:
Since the government is making more money from the sales of crude oil, they should give us palliatives to cushing the effects of increments in the price of petrol.

Bros calm down,prices started rising barely a week.....be calming down,this things dont just happen in a whim,they take processes.

omoredia:
Dangote monopoly is dangerous and exploitative. The real benefit to Nigerians is to bring in more players to compete on pricing.

What do you want dangote to do? You have every right to get a licence and go bring your own pms and sell at whatever price you want,what competition are you looking for again......you people just make outlandish inferences and throw invectives at a system you dont even understand the basics of how it runs......your confident display of ignorance is highly nauseating.

yesloaded:
Do you even realize how much benefits your kids get months?

Do you realized that quality education in Canada is free except tertiary institution?

Do you even know the cost of power supply is cheaper than Band A cost here in Nigeria whereas they have 24hrs per day while you don't get 24hrs per day with band A (my office is on band A so I have a first hand experience(

You are paying for that free education and health care through taxes,how many Nigerians pay taxes......also stop that horrendous lie that electricity is cheaper over there than we have here stop misinforming people and say only what you know.

yesloaded:
It's no longer Canada but usa?

😂

You mentioned Canada experiencing high pms rate then I asked you honest questions

Next time, say only what you know

Nigeria needs fuel subsidy & the removal of fuel subsidy on day 1 of this administration is the greatest blunder

As is now, a month minimum wage before tax in Nigeria will not buy 50litres of Petrol

And where will the govt be getting extra money now to fund subsidy,if this persist any longer than 2 weeks,the govt would have been broke......don't you know if subsidyvwas still in place,govt bills will also rise as prices are rising and we would have been sleeping in petrol stations by now also there wouldn'thave been any dangote refinery........this are austerity times coming back and you need to be more economical with the use of petrol.

jmoore:
Dude, REST!

USA, Canada has stable power supply. Households over there don't depend on generators to power their homes.

You probably charged your phone with a generator and you are posting this.

Petrol runs almost everything in Nigeria, so ripple effects will be worse compared to USA or Canada.

Why do you think the west frets anytime Russia threatens energy cuts.......as petrol is important to you here is same way it's important to the US economy.......high prices never helps any economy..........other west african countries have been paying higher prices than you for petrol for ages and will still pay more and heavens haven't fallen over there......so quit pointing fingers and making Puerile comparisons,this problem affects every living person in the world.

yesloaded:
What's the price of Petrol in Canada now?

What's the minimum wage after tax in Canada?

What's the minimum wage after tax in Nigeria?

Even at the current high prices you have here,you still aren't paying half the price obtainable in Canada.......it's over $7 already in los Angeles.

Day169:
We've heard you, and granted, oil prices have shot up.
But the federal government should be able to provide some form of subsidy to cushion the effect of the price hike on the masses.
That should be a part of the welfare obligation of our government for the people!

It's barely a week bros,be calming down.....these things just dont happen by a whim,you need to calm down and study whats happening to crude prices currently and explore all options available before setting a process in motion.......do you have a budget for payment of subsidy? It's money you will use to pay subsidy and govt doesn't have inexhaustible pockets of that.

BeginsAtHome:
I mean ALL of them.

Jokes on you bro.

Than how is obi different from the rest?

You have negotiated to complete your 2nd term after him.......fear who noh fear politicians!!

Believeintruth:
On the contrary, that is not what BAT wants because if that happens and he strikes a deal with the north for one term, the so called APC governors will be the one to betray BAT in the north. This is why they have been scheming to ensure he doesn't appear on the ballot.

Obidients with delusion,you people never seize to amuse me with your childish thinking about politics........strike a deal with which North,you think the north trust obi any better than they trust tinubu.......keep dreaming child......."you gonna learn"

magoo10:
Only one man giving tinubu and his followers sleepless nights.
Fact is there is no other opposition politician existing today making tinubu do all he has been desperately doing.

If ADC get mind,make then give obi presidential ticket.......thats what all pbat supporters want,the beating go too sweet.

LagosOrigin:
It will be a big disgrace if after all this defections, APC still lose to Peter Obi in 2027.

Peter Obi defeated them all in 2023 till Wike rigged the final decider in Rivers state to tinubu.. I trust Obi will deal with this thieving politicians again in 2027 and this time, no amount of rigging will save tinubu because Nigerians are tired of him and his failed government.

If ADC get mind,make them give obi ticket.......tinubu will nust go to bed and sleep.....

MrGerald:
ShopRite are like multinational the market forces like exchange rate affecting them is different from other indigenous retail stores.

Why haven't all the multinationals left?

AMINDA:
Elrufai is squeaky clean. The so-called "fighters of democracy" and Paul Biya wannabe have been unravelled as they have since surpassed Sani Abacha in all vices. Next, will be a continuation of media trials on pages of their well-oiled Lagos-Ibadan Expressway toilet papers. All while avoiding the courts as Nigerians have been demanding. Their goal is to keep Elrufai out of the 2027 electioneering campaign knowing his capacity but that will not change the inevitable outcome. The tables will turn in a jiffy.

When a case of national security threath is established, the govt has the powers to hold suspects indefinitely.......America operated guantanamo bay and people were been held there under the Law.

Lanruze:
When on the 23rd of May, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu climbed the podium to make his first ever speech and in the middle of the speech to the amazement of the World screamed "Subsidy is gone", Iike a spirit filled esoteric emperor.

I am sure he thought he was wiser than the previous leaders who had maintained the concept in the larger interest of a third (3rd) world impoverished country like Nigeria.

As at today 9th March 2025, PMS per liter cost a whooping N1,200 in NNPC with food prices gradually soaring higher than last week.

PBAT has better come up with a subsidy strategy to return energy cost to an affordable levels as shrinking incomes don't know patience.

Where were you when pump price was 730 naira,I bet you were too ashamed to come out to acknowledge it after all your doomsday projections, everyone knows the reason why fuel price has gone up and in a matter of weeks things would normalize......you should be praising tinubu for bringing an end to fuel queues,if it were in the past we would have been sleeping at petrol stations by now and buying at highly inflated prices.

nwirinedu:
This is news , it never happened in Abuja before 2023, it was in PH I saw women driving buses and taxis, Wike dont export am go Abuja.

Cost of living is very high in the FCT, you just cant dodge transport costs, school fees and house rent.

People do kabu kabu to subsidize fuel costs, with the Iran wahala fuel is projected to reach 1800 by Easter. Time to review your vehicle choice, unless you re a politician or into yahoo yahoo, or are rich avoid v8 and v6 engines.

Must they live in the fct.....there are so many people in our cities who add little or no productive value......many want to live big without putting in the work or getting the necessary skills,you then start shouting tinubu.......what is wrong with women ubering or driving taxis.....here In Lagos,women even drive refuse trucks and some drive buses,what's wrong with that in so far it covers some of your living expenses.......don't women drive cabs in uk or in America.......all these myopic propagandists should please go and sit down if they have nothing important to attack.

The era of sharing free money without providing value is gone as was rampant during the military/pdp era,you now need to work to earn your keep.......

Ironfaceman:
You see these are family people if school fees was 40000naira but now is 250 000 naira she need to get the extra somewhere.

I bet you're not married so you won't understand.



.

Show us a school where the school fees grew exponentially by that magnitude in the last 3 years...... propagandists always making fables just to earn his ego trip.

Pbat till 31!!

MrGerald:
The same way those malls around you are about 5km away from the people around ShopRite, so you don't expect them to come to Jendol or whatever you can it. You won't blame Tinubu because of your blind support. When you make policies that effect purchasing power of the citizens, increase tariffs, foreign exchange and general maladministration you said I should not blame the government and it's president who is at the helm of affairs? Other outlets are simply coping within their level.

Blame tinubu for a badly run business or inefficiency of its management.......if you aren't a stereotypical ideologue.....why are other retail chains within the same space thriving and shop rite is failing,is it foreigners or ghosts that are growing them......even obi's next retail chain is still doing very well within that space.
