Politics › Re: "Nigeria’s Challenge Is Low Revenue, Not High Debt" - World Bank by mikepal: 8:40am On Jul 05 |
Young man, the money politicians loot from this country daily is more than any kind of tax citizens can pay in a year, stop the looting and you will see that this country can stand firm without taxing it's citizens. Nigeria is richer than you can ever imagine but the wealth is being stolen by the minority. Curb looting before talking about taxing nairalanda1: The problem with that assertion is that you are in essence arguing for the tinubu government to keep taking loans.
This our tax to gdp is less than the African average, most of the rich do not pay taxes, most people working in the informal sector do not pay taxes, and our country is reliant on oil, and other resources, whose prices we cannot control or set, therefore if we wanted to raise our oil prcies to bring in more revenue for the country...as Ghana did for its cocoa one time...buyers will go to cheaper alternatives...as Ghana found out.
At the end of the day, nations grow by their leadership making hard choices (before you start, tinubu is not making hard choices, regardless of what his propaganda kompanie would have you think). We need revenue urgently for a host of things...including funding our budget, funding stuff like railways, and infrastructure. Yet we do not collect enough revenuye, waste the litte we collect on corruption and stealing...which by the way the people you want us to vote for were also involved in, and are likely to continue when they displace tinubu in 2027, and we do not have a working industrial sector because somehow you guys beilieve that a company where 80% of the customers are paying below production price can somehow miraculously perfrom at top level.
One thing I don't like about you Nigerians is that y'all are not serious. You and helinues now, when tinubu leaves, Helinues will be saying what you are saying, and you will be telling us now that government has to charge high taxes and make tough choices. Right.
Anyway, the World bank is right. Revenue is shit. VAT cannot fund our budget nor can all the tiny taxes collected every day that people come and tell me about. I've done the math, it cannot do much for the budget. Even if we cut leakages, it won't do much of anything. Cut government costs, nothing go happen. We need a flat income tax for everyone, regardless of status, rich paying more, and we need to end useless subsides on electricity so that at least we can effing have a proper industrial sector that produces goods for export.
But the way you guys chant quasi marxist jokes on this site, I doubt we go see change.
You people do not want taxes, eh? All right , make we dey borrow, and make people dey look as the leaders continue to steal (yes tax payment tends to make people more incentivised to question their government, as seen in saner climes). Don't complain about the debt then.
And yes, I am voting tinubu out, he has failed. But that does not effing stop me from seeing reality. |

Which nonsense fatigue? they only have 40 matches to play this season so no fatigue excuses will be accepted. Arsenal and City have already played more games than United will have to play this season. You play once in two weeks and complain of fatigue, nonsense and Ingredient. themanderon: Do people expect them to win every match? Fatigue and other factors will eventually set in. I saw it in that crystal palace match and it happened today. |
Sports › Re: 10 Red Cards For Chelsea! by mikepal: 11:38am On Mar 03 |
Arsenal had two counter attacks that at least one would have resulted in a goal but the referee blew his whistle to restart the game. PulaPower: Hmmm
But you see the last Arsenal Vs Chelsea baah, the referee made lots of errors..
Chelsea should have had at least 1 penalty in that game. It has been analyzed my football analysis online..
But sha, I hear say they wanna investigate the match, not sure if true or not but clearly, Chelsea got robbed in that match.. |
Politics › Re: Tinubu Away As Nation Honours Fallen Heroes by mikepal: 4:18pm On Jan 16 |
How many Presidents around the world leave their country at the rate Tinubu does? Is he the first person to ever become a president? Today is 16th o January 2026, he left the country last year and is yet to return all I'm the name of official duties, is he the only President that has official duties? A president that gallivants up and down the globe can never be taken seriously, there are events you can ignore or send delegates instead of always showing up even when you're not invited. |

OkaNaUbe: The word, "duh" doesn't exist in English Language.
"Sorry" is misused by a lot of youth, even corps members and graduates alike.
Imagine, one day, I was standing in the ATM queue waiting for my turn to make withdrawal and one Corps member asked me, "sorry who is the last person?", I retorted, " Why are you sorry? You haven't wronged me" and "I am not the last person".
I went on to tell her that she should have said, " Excuse me, who is the last person in the queue?" Every Nigerian has a default factory fitted anger so u have to naturally apologize before talking to them |
