A tax credit of $1,000 (500 bucks per adult in a household) will hit my mail box anytime from now as a result of strong resources price from the last cut.

RepoMan007: Published on the 29th of September by Reuters, London. Nigeria is not only subsidizing Nigerian consumers but also subsidizing Beninoise, Nigeriens, Chadians e.t.c Analysis: Nigeria squanders oil price bonanza as gasoline subsidies soar Nigeria has failed to capitalise on an oil price boom that has helped cushion other exporters from the impact of inflation, with millions more Nigerians now facing poverty. Data from Nigeria's state oil company NNPC shows that it did not contribute anything to state coffers in the first eight months of 2022, despite crude prices averaging $94 a barrel so far this year, a rise of 42% from last year. At the heart of Nigeria's problem is that despite being Africa's biggest oil and gas producer, the country depends almost entirely on imports to cover its gasoline needs. It then subsidises the cost to consumers, which has created a disparity between the price at the pump and what people pay to fill their tanks in neighbouring countries, such as Benin. This has led to widespread smuggling, which has in turn driven up the amount of costly gasoline Nigeria imports and wiped out the gains that it should have made from crude exports because it ends up buying far more than it needs. "Hundreds of thousands of people (in Benin) organize their survival around this traffic," Boris Houenou, a Beninois economist said of the smuggling of Nigerian gasoline. "A litre of Nigerian petrol worth $0.45 (per litre) can be passed to Benin for $0.70," he added. Estimates of the amount of gasoline smuggled abroad vary, with some independent researchers putting it at around 15 million litres a day, while NNPC's own assessment is 42 million. The NNPC's federal account allocation (FAAC) shows it remitted just over $3 billion from oil and gas sales to Nigeria's federal account in 2020, falling to about $1.4 billion in 2021 and dropping to zero in 2022. 1 Like

Uprightness100:Been there done that. Atmost, a few cents will be added on just like we have seen every now and then this year. Where do you think the tax credit comes from? Well, It's from profits from the same oil companies. Oil companies make more money, which equates to more income for the government, which also trickles down to the citizens. Depending on how you look at it. Even Trump cheered a couple of years ago when there was an announcement of cut. Lol. 3 Likes
