Epistasis:
If you are not ok, use the seaport in your state or better, carry the container to your state.
Lagos leads.....

Gajagojo:
This is a mistake
Nigeria is One of the least taxed places in Africa e.g
Ghana is taxing about 14% of GDP compared to 5% Nigeria
UK 30%
So we should be able to absorb more taxes
The reason we don't hold politicians to account is because they are not spending tax but oil revenues and money that doesn't come from our pocket
If we were funding government with tax will there be vote buying?

michlins:
this is a big lie.

In Nigeria, you provide your own electricity,drill your own borehole, take care of your own security by paying security levies and construct your own roads. In fact everything the government is supposed to provide,we provide at least 80%.

So add that to the tax we already paid and tell me who pays more tax than us

DrAkpamudehe:
Even ogbomosho indigene is claiming ownership of Lagos. If shamelessness was a name, many yorubas will bear it as a name

Gajagojo:
If you don't want to pay carry your vehicle in a container out of the state to its final destination

Gajagojo:

Lagos state roads are for Lagos taxpayers

Gajagojo:
Shut up and fuc k off.
Go and learn some manners and how to behave among human beings

Gajagojo:
I think I understand you now
I am not interested in those sentiments
The reality is that Tinubu is the president elect.
We all have to deal with that whether we like it or not.

I say the following with every sense of responsibility

You need to grow up and stop talking like a child.
Am I supposed to feel guilty about supporting anyone.? I have no guilt and owe you no explanation or denial. If I support Tinubu 100 of you cannot inhibit my support
The reality is Tinubu is the president elect and I want him to succeed.
My expectation is that he restructures the country
Illegality,corruption is your opinion. Which may be right or wrong.
It is not relevant now or here
That nothing good comes out of illegality or corruption is debatable
What is the definition of "Good"
The US was built on slavery,exploitation,genocide and racism.
Australia,Canada,USA were built on genocide. White people came and virtually wiped out indigenous populations. God did not intervene
South Africa was built on Apartheid.
China is built on repression and totalitarianism

The world is not a place where bad guys die and good guys live happily ever after. That is a fairy tale.
With regard to Tinubu I believe he defeated Obi so you guys need to wake up and stop deceiving yourselves. Those who accept reality maybe supporters of Tinubu or just realists.
He won the election
Corruption is part of human nature
It exists everywhere. All I hear is just self deception. You are deceiving yourself.
Nigeria has come a long way
In 1975 there was not one. NOT ONE expressway/motorway in the whole of Nigeria

NOT ONE!!



In another 50 years we will make a lot more progress

jaxxy:
what has this got to do with tinubu exactly?

I didn't mention tinubu I mentioned illegality and corruption by anyone be it tinubu or Abacha or Peter Obi I don't care. it will amount to failure until a corrective process is in place.


The US was built on slave trade doesn't bt did continue is such practices to be who they are? they evolved not by sitting down and looking bt by corrective discussion and processes either initiated by them or forced on them.

Nigeria will not evolve untill it is faced with discomfort and pressure to do the right thing.

Brendaniel:
Election has come and gone, the people who used tribalism to hold on to their cash cow have just injected another loop hole to keep milking the cow and their supporters will join in supplying that milk....

My father.
please don't be a slowpoke, learn to talk with sense.

Gajagojo:
You still have to back.up your claims with facts
I gave you a fact
VAT in Nigeria is 7.5% compared with 17.5% in the UK
It increased this month to 20%
That is indirect tax.
In the UK
Petrol and diesel are taxed with VAT =20%
In Nigeria petrol and diesel are subsidised
Your claim is just nonsense,ignorant rubbish.
Whether indirect or direct .The total tax collected is not an unknown thing or a secret
In Nigeria it is 5% of GDP compared to nearly 30% in the UK.
We are talking of a country where government taxed your property if you die before your family can inherit.
