VAT is INDIRECT (consumption) taxation…
And I specifically noted WITHHOLDING (direct) taxation, which is what your company/clients deduct.

The percentage of Nigerians subject to withholding taxes are relatively small compared to income earners (including but not limited to self-employed and informal earners) and the size of the economy. Again, it speaks volumes that Nigeria has the LOWEST tax base in all of Africa.

Meanwhile, speaking of VAT, Nigeria has the LOWEST VAT rate in the entire ECOWAS subregion (including dirt poor countries like The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Togo, Guniea-Bissau, etc.), and probably one of the (if not the) lowest in all of Africa. As previously pointed out VAT is a CONSUMPTION tax. In effect, if you do not consume you do not pay VAT. However, VAT in Nigeria specifically excludes food, medicines, rent, school fees and other educational expenses, public transportation, agricultural products and expenses, etc. It is also ONLY applicable to businesses generating over N20 million in yearly revenues (meaning that it does NOT apply to products/services bought from small and medium scale businesses - which is probably the MAJORITY of Nigerian businesses). Accordingly, VAT in Nigeria only applies to a handful of goods/services used by most average Nigerians (and probably a MINORITY of the population), and thus bemoaning about VAT charges seems more than a wee bit misplaced (and frankly self-serving) in light of the public services that you expect in return.

If Nigerians are still moaning in 50 years about basic things like water, roads, electricity, healthcare, etc. on Nairaland (or elsewhere), they only have to look at THEMSELVES (and I realize that critical introspection is difficult for most Nigerians) - and not least because tomorrow’s leaders are today’s followers and tomorrow’s elite are today’s masses. Nigeria’s leaders are not from Mars but are Nigerians from Nigeria who emerge from the general population (and often reflect the mores and values of the larger society). A political (or indeed any other) “system” does not exist on its own or in isolation. In fact, a “system” only exists when it is operational - that is, when human beings start running the said “system”. Accordingly, to blame the “system” gravely misses the point. NIGERIANS (the human beings) are the problem, not a nebulous and amorphous “system”. Without this basic starting point, we might as well be pissing against the wind!

You deserve a lovely bottle of whiskey for this.

They won't listen though, I have reduced them to exactly what was described here.

Every tribe has good and bad people in the North people are butchered by bokoharam, bandits and herders, in the sw people are also butchered for rituals.
You should hold your government accountable so that they can eliminate poverty and orientate people on this kind of trips and not turning it to a tribal war.

That an undergraduate like her fell for such scam should tell you that she may be hiding something.

And do not forget that bini people are experts in this practice of trafficking people through libya

Poverty kwwa, did you know that even the one's already in Europe,( Nigerian pi.mp's* and girls) are still selling themselves from one European country to another.

This people are the scourge of earth with zero dignity, they do it because of their low iq and penchant for quick gains.

sir with all due respect, I'm not a religious bigot or ethnic slave. We are not having a good time with the people we elected into power. Period!

Killing aside, how much is ordinary Pure water in your Area

Business opportunity right there for you. .. pure water price's going up.. find a way to start selling cheaper..

Nigeria's problem is lack of imagination.

From imitation, quack's to innovation. Keep trying guy's you'll get there.

Arrewa:
now let me school you...

The electricity from a solar panel can be used to create heat to start a fire. A resistive heating element like a cigarette lighter, toaster or stove element could be used.

However, a photovoltaic solar panel is about 10–15% efficient. Using the solar heat directly through a magnifying lens is much smaller, cheaper and efficient (more like 80%) depending on the surface being heated.

Now let me give u example...

PV panels can cause fires if installed improperly, just as anything electrical can, by creating a spark.

Later Una go dey shout quota system up and down!!!

But na una be the real quota system products!!

The difference between Googler's and practical.

my patience for that neyyoh moniker is wearing very thin because he's starting to sound more and more like a troll itching for an argument against ubunja. 90% of all his Romance section activities are in this thread alone responding to my posts. Very soon I'll ignore him.

I quote you because I respect some of your view's, trying to understand where you're coming from.

Not to worry I'll ignore you and your miseducation.

The fact that a white person is racist towards blacks doesn't mean he/she can't be sexually attracted to a black person. Racism is an outlook and perspective that can change, sexual attraction is not. Sexual attraction is natural, innate and hardwired into the DNA and psyche. During the slave trade era, there were white masters sleeping with black female slaves, and there were white females fùcking black male slaves. The issue is whether white women are sexually attracted to black men or not; racism doesn't prove sexual attraction can't occur.

Haba! After 540+ pages on this thread, you should know that a woman picking a man for long term relationship doesn't mean she is sexually attracted to the man; you should know there are other major factors that influences a woman's decision in this aspect. Moreover, white men have better income and wealth on average; this makes them a better long-term relationship choice.

Finally, a porn category can't blow up if people are not "into" that category in real life.

I don't know what to say here. It's true that there are black wannabes, but that doesn't mean they are the only set of white women attracted to blacks. I am not trying to argue, it's just my perspective.

I'm stating categorically, that apart from factor's influencing women when picking partner's for long term, sexual attraction, statistically they prefer white in both scenario's.

You're correct about racism and sexual attraction though, there are even kkk members married to black females...

The porn* reference was made to debunk the difference between what's seen on the internet vs reality.

I think you missed the part where I said the curiousity is there but it doesn't necessarily translate into much.

THE MOVIE INDUSTRY (NOLLYWOOD) IS THE MOST DECEITFUL INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA: A MESSAGE TO ALL NIGERIAN MOVIE ACTORS, DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS

By Precious Ebenezer
Preciousebenezer73@gmail.com

The media is one important agent of socialization that informs, educates, enlighten and also entertain. What the media shows the society, sinks into the consciousness of the people through their journals, newspaper, radio and television. Our movie industry have failed in informing, educating and enlightening us about important issues such as our deep African History, Science, invention, greatness and creation. All they do is to entertain us and make joke over everything. This has created lots of damages to the thinking faculty of our children and our youths today.

While other countries are busy acting movies that promotes their culture, Science, history and Political structure. Our movie industry is busy promoting things that are harmful, inimical and unproductive to our generation. Therefore, the most deceitful and ridiculous industry in Nigeria is the movie industry (Nollywood). They promote lies, stupidity and falsehood. Our movie industry ought to be promoting African history and the invention of our Ancestors. They are suppose to be promoting and projecting the historical research made by African Historians, archeologists and anthropologists about African History. But all they promote are things that will make them have more money and profits. They focus more in money making instead of impacting on our generation and the ones yet unborn. They focus their mind in acting movies that concerns comedy, occult, and other gibberish that attracts the masses just for profit maximization.

The few historical movies about Africa that our movie industry have acted were movies on Slave Trade and European colonialism or conquest. This is false because African History did not start from Slavery but from great invention. All they know is to be promoting how to do money rituals, sex, criminality, comedy, suffering of a girl or boy child and other nonsense and at the end of the movie, they will say "to God be the glory". Even when they want to act epic movies (Village Drama) about Africans, they show us scenes of Africans using leaf as clothes. This is the lie they promote just to show the world that africans were primitive. The truth is, africans are not primitive. Before the Caucasians (Whites) invaded and mischievously penetrated into Africa, we had our beautiful African dress. We did not wear leaf as clothes. We had everything that made life easy for us. Nollywood in Nigeria is promoting the opposite and they deserve to be sued for such stupidity and falsehood.

Our movie industry has failed us. They are the major cause of our brainwashing. If our movie industry can act movies that explain real African history, many of our youths will not be ignorant of their root. Today 95 percent of Nigerian youths don't know anything about african history. The little they know is about slave trade and colonialism. Some don't have anything to say if you ask them the great invention made by their black african Ancestors. All they know is to post pictures on Facebook and Instagram, the names of their favorite Nigerian celebrity, latest update about celebrity gossip and posting twerking videos or watching comedy on Facebook. This is a great damage. When will they act movies about how the Pyramids were built in Egypt around 10000 B.C? When will they start acting movies about how our African Ancestors educated Greek Philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras and Hippocrates around 1700 B.C? When will they start acting movies about how our African Ancestors went to Europe and colonized part of it around 711 A.D and even built a university for the Europeans in Spain around 1134?

When will they start acting movies about how we started the school of Science, Alchemy and Imhotep Science of Medicine around 2400 B.C? When will they start acting movies about great African thinkers such as Imhotep, Ptahotep, Remeses the second and African Queens such as Amina of Zaria and the first Queen of Egypt named Hatshepsut? When will they start acting movies about our mythical religion and gods such as Isis, Osiris, Horus, Sango and so on? Look at the Greeks, they act movies about their mythical gods such as Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Hercules and so on. Many of our youths don't even know that all those Greek gods such as Zeus and Apolo were stolen from African myths around 2800 B.C by the Greeks and Romans and our movie industry is silent about this but all they know is to act movies about money rituals and comedy. Our movie industry is a disgrace to the development of our continent.

We must start a new Dawn and journey. We must use our media especially our movie industry to promote african history that will be productive to our children. We must teach and educate our african children the history and greatness of their Ancestors. They must know that their History did not start from Slavery but from Greatness. Our movie industry must put the development of Africa first instead of profit making. Stand up children of Africa and know your history.

ubunja:
some of these mentions from these guys I treat like trolling because How can a man in 2021 not know that white women's pussy drip for black dick? Like how?! Lol.

The most racism you'd get abroad is from white women.

All that porn* stuff stays on the internet, it's true they have a huge curiosity for blacks but what I've noticed is that they actually prefer white guys for long term relationship's blacks for flings.

When they fall for a black guy they are usually very committed.

Moreover there are certain types of white girls who go for blacks, the black wannabes, it's due to the black American hip hop culture and not as over blown the way you put it , exceptions exists off course, hence why a high value white could fall for a black thug, or perhaps a blondee falls for a very ugly black guy... Which I've seen severally.

Where do you reside? I've you actually lived and travelled Europe, us before because I sense you are reaching your conclusions from what you see on the internet.


CaveAdullam.

Nice work!

At least she's doing something, she could be driving Bentley's all over the place traveling from pillar to post but she wants to do something.

Pls don't complain if you ain't doing nothing.

Piss off and stop quoting me.

If these one's blow now, dem fit even get political appointments, mopo guiding them up and down.

Something is fundamentally wrong with that country.

So diabolic the whole country is a shit show, I'd worry more about hygiene.

Doesn't look like all the information on the internet is helping these people.

I'll rather watch tom&jerry than exchange words with you. just look at this quota system imbeciles

Na only insult you sabi fool. Shebi you started the insult's?

I will wipe you with the floor when it comes to economics, u have no idea.

Yes go watch tom and jerry, that's all your iq can process.

Supported!

Just imagine, the state of these useless people.

They did all that for under 500 pounds?

And some useless grammar speaking idiot's will say only the government are responsible for Nigerias woes.

Una never see anything yet, all these animals will come out in full force if war breaks out.

This initiative is awesome, hope they'll take advantage!

Lol! If you had any sense, you'd know the guy you quoted was countering what you said....

Lol i gave him a response.

Lazy bone's go and fix something and stop being nuisances online.

Coldshisha:
This isn't blame pushing, it's the responsibility of tax collector to build enabling environment with taxpayers money so that they can further generate tax

Even Buhari we call dullard proposed the idea of Kaniwood film village built and funded by FG before Northern Islamic youth rejected

Jonathan through bank of industry gave artist funds

Ok. .. but how does this stop someone from the south building it? Southerner's are raking in millions via Netflix, they should invest the money.

My point is simple, revenues are dwindling, it's in the best interest of the government to maximize revenues with the goal of supporting industries.

Industries will then support the people via employment, so far everything buhari is doing aligns with this.. apart from security.

When you have a lazy group of greedy people screaming hdi whilst they're paying their house helps, driver's, peanut's as salaries, charging exorbitant price's for properties, tax evasion, stealing rail track's, collecting bribe's, then you'd understand those people ain't ready .

They want a Singapore without sacrifice!, Society benefits when we begin to tackle issues at community level. Change must begin with self.

Coldshisha:
Honestly something is extremely wrong with some of rhe dull youth we have

California Goverment gave land for Hollywood studios, gave funds, they set up sillicon valley and gave out start up capital

Exactly.. they just want to push every single blame to the government and I'm not having it.

Sick of their bs, when you try to point out some issues, they say you're a northerner.

in the process of trying to sound sane, you end up sounding stupid


which useless institution give a dunce like you with 2kb IQ Masters cert? a certified dummy at that



so you don't know conducive environment allowed people to exhibit their potentials and you called yourself a Masters holder



I ask again which institution dash you Master cert?

A conducive environment doesn't come cheap dullard, you know how I know? , I live in one.

Nigeria has been screwed for age's, it'll take a miracle, hardwork , persistence and a little bit of positivity to fix and that's not happening in a day / month/ year.

Can your iq process that?..

I have no respect for you stupid lazy moaners, you'd do worse if giving a chance at power.

Go and build something to reduce unemployment Nuru the lazy internet warrior.

They're building idiot. Can you build a house in one day with little funds?

The rest is on you to find avenue's to leverage the current infrastructure.

As for my education , yep I have a master's.. one of the best performing students... Satisfied?

You and the original person i quoted don't have any formal education, that's why you rant online like lazy fool's.

Go build something instead of expecting the government to do everything for u lazy stupid moaning asses.

please learn to read with your thinking cap, we should be thinking of more creative and economical things and not cow cow



you people up North seems to be using draining sense over there

You're very daft chinedu or wherever you are from to assume someone is from the North.

I've just assumed u r Igbo, see how that works.
