Exactly, As Nigerians, I think this is where we miss the point.

Every developed country paid tax first, then fought for accountability. There is no example in history where infrastructure magically appeared before taxation.

Our real problem isn’t that Nigerians are overtaxed — it’s that those who can pay don’t pay at all. Politicians, the ultra-rich, big businesses hide behind loopholes while the informal poor get harassed.

“No tax before infrastructure” sounds logical, but in practice it guarantees one thing: perpetual underdevelopment.

Pay tax → build systems → enforce accountability. Not the other way around.

Tax tax tax. Can you now show us the services you find in those countries . Do we get welfare,good roads ,quality healthcare for Naija. Don't measure just tax ,measure the quality of life too. Nonsense. Tinubu agent sent to promote evil.
