The question is, Since taxes are ment to cater for the development of a country as obtainable in developed nations, Why would our so called businessmen, politcians and clergymen chose to pay taxes "secretly" to economies of other countries while leaving the country they claim to love impoverished?

It will definitely be senseless to you, since Tinubu or PMB names were not involved. Biggest hypocrite .
They want China fast growing economy. They want China technology development. They want China good roads network.
But they don't want China law where people with questionable character like him would have been summary executed

Nawa o
You guys are just restless... Why Yorubas are afraid of Peter obi.. Thought Jagaban is more relevant than him yet you guys keep opening topic upon topic to tarnish his image, but the man is smarter than you all.

Yet to see a northerner or any other region discussing or opening threads on this Peter Obi's pandora matter except Yorubas.

After their excuse is that Igbos are supporting their corrupt politicians, while the man is yet to be find guilty.... Have they ever seen Igbos surpoting Orjiuzo kalu, Rochas or Andy uba

Who said they’re cutting corners? Offshore banking is not cutting corners.

As a business man, one cannot keep excess cash in your country of domicile. As a man, putting all your eggs in one basket is tantamount to failure as in the case of dwindling exchange rate in Nigeria.

Now imagine all that USD savings offshore in Nigeria Naira? So you expect those who’ve worked legitimately to save for their future, to have their savings rubbished by your ignorant government and their economic policies.

The poverty mentality of a lot of Nigerians expect every rich person to be generous and help the poor or the country. Ogbeni, you need to work your ass off yourself anywhere on earth.

Senseless to you, but have you asked yourself how the developed nations you cherish so much get to where they are now? Where do you think developed nations get the money they used to develop their nations aside mineral and human resources that you have in aboundance?

If you tax the rich the poor won't have to suffer.

omoadeleye:
Tax avoidance is a not illegal, and not a sin, it's just a way of trying to minimise your tax payment by using the opportunity of lapses in tax laws.

Since payment of taxes are overwhelming a business profit, what do you expect?

The taxed you are paying for is not even giving you the results you expected for.

How will you feel seeing your taxes being used to feed some clueless, gluttony, jobless and non result oriented individuals doing nothing at all.

That's a shame.

I think you should make specific references because everyone on that list has a unique story.

As for Peter Obi, he has already explained his in that video posted here yesterday.

According to him, when the company that operates an offshore account was floated, he lived in London. You cannot be based in London and be paying taxes to Nigeria.

He added that the company was operated that way based on the professional advice of a consulting firm (he gave its name), noting that it was never unlawful to do it. He also said that the company wasn't used to launder money before, during and after his term as governor.

To date, I will continue to hold Peter Obi and Donald Duke in high esteem because they are the only two former governors who are active in politics and weren't invited by the EFCC for money laundering scandals after spending 8 years in office. That's commendable!

I guess we have not yet realised that by the sweat of our brow will we eat our food until we return to the ground.

When we do realise we will all invest in ourselves.


Good question, op!

humility33:
Oga this argument is not necessary sef

He simply paid his tax in the country the business is domicile

You dont run business on sentiments... every business looks for ways to cut down their tax payments thats why u see them seek tax holidays or exemptions.... tax avoidance is not a crime

Mr Obi didnt commit any crime and if he did he opened up a challenge to anyone interested in probe yesterday

Nigerians need stop the cheap blackmail "why not pay tax to a country you love"
