After all that Wike did for him four years ago!

Northern politicians been giving it to their southern counterpart hot, hot.

Buckeyemedia1:
Some people no just get common sense?

seunmsg:
Wow! Despite all what Wike did for him 4 years ago at the PH convention.

If Atiku wins this primary, it will be as a result of northern conspiracy against Wike. I hope Wike and other southern governors who are backing him are taking notes. The north must not be allowed to get away with this treachery. They should simply wait for the general election to pay them back.

I knew there will be a comment like this and wasn't disappointed. Comparing council flats to multi million dollars Mansion what a clown. Even the average Brits will tell you London is a dump.

koning:
Have you ever paid any form of local govt tax in Benin where you live now?!!.

Childish comparisms as usual just to let us know you used to live Cleepcrap in UK. Some insecure dumbfvcks are even giving you likes too.

Because the people in the UK pay council tax and income tax, meaning the local council can afford to keep the cities clean.

Nigeria....we don't pay those type of taxes. Our budget for a year is what the UK spends policing its people in one year.

So, if you want UK level in Nigeria, pay UK level taxes. But Nigerians will start with 'we are poor'

Annual council tax in band A areas cleethorpes is about 1387 pounds...that's over 700000 naira per annum. If government for this country started charging that...especially in that Benin you live, would you guys be happy?

subsidywise18:
Well, we don't have council taxes in Nigeria because you Nigerians don't want to pay it.

Let's be honest. If we all paid taxes like council tax, we would have a big eye on what government does well well, and put more pressure on them to do the right thing...and thus they would not steal. Because it is directly affecting us.

I'm not blind. Corruption exists in Nigeria. (It's why I cannot in good cosncience vote for PDP or APC since 2003 when I first voted). BUT.....the fact is, there isn't enough money to pay for what we need to keep our cities looking good as well. The corruption and mismanagement makes things worse.

Plus when Tinubu, Buhari, and company were not in power, Nigerians were not paying enough in tax EITHER. Even when you have leaders you like...like most of us Southerners like GEJ....we no go gree.

We rely on oil money for everything in this country...and we live under the delusion that it is enough. It is enough for a country of ten million people or less, not 210 or 100 million people like Nigeria. That's where the payment of taxes comes in. But since most of us don't pay taxes because we are poor, government services are bad (and then the stealing too makes things worse.)

You get what you pay for. No council tax in Benin, Lagos, Owerri, Kano, Abuja, etc....no money for better municipal servicies. And our budget, need I remind you, is not up to one quarter of what the UK spends on healthcare.

Our tax to gdp ratio is 8.1%, in the UK it is 34%. See the problem

P.S

Pension thieves got caught. Some of them have gone to jail self.


P.S 2

UK budget for 2021...one trillion pounds. for 60 million people. Nigerian budget: 28 billion pounds for 200 million people. Expecting UK level service on that low a budget is magical thinking really.
