They pay, go to FIRS or any state IRS to get the data you need.

And after that you started shouting ebin pawa o

LandMann:
You have been conditioned like in Pavlov's dog and bell experiment to believe that more taxes is what the government needs to solve Nigeria's problem.

But what you don't know is that tax is an easy way for government to be extremely lazy and productive.

Also, tax discourages productivity.

There are countries doing well without taxing their citizens

Stop giving the corrupt and useless government in Nigeria ammunition to kill the people

Meaning agriculture have been declining hence the high rise of prices of food items .

Why should things we don't import like yams, garri be selling at ridiculous prices?

Ebola Tinubu has destroyed Nigeria beyond redemption.

Kukutente23:
A decline of 3% in 20 years is hardly something to worry about. It should be worse with the level of insecurity in the northern parts over the years with farmers killed in their farms. Who can forget the rice farmers killed by Boko haram?

Food prices is not immune from the devaluation of our currency and cost of transportation too. So everything is not import

This trend only shows that by 2033, ICT-Sector would become the largest contributor to the Nigerian Economy by far.

**((Meanwhile,, why didn't I see the Oil-&-Gas sector.?? Was it deliberately avoided.?? Or is it that the Oil-&-Gas sector is not really a major contributor to the economy.??))

You wouldn't say a decline of 3% because its wrong to say that...

The population of the country hasn't remained the same, many people have graduated into adulthood and if u factor in the population of now with the agricultural growth then u would see its a decline

But wait..

I am still wondering why ALL WORKING, AND ALL EARNING NIGERIANS are not paying adequate and corresponding INCOME TAX on their supposed incomes and earnings.

And then, why are Nigerians not consistent in paying Commodity Taxes, and Luxury Taxes.

AND NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT IT..

These taxes are not just merely supposed to only be serving as sources of income for the government alone,, but they are also supposed to be good methods by which the Government track how much money is in the system, how these money get into the system,, and how they are being spent...

Then again,, I just remembered that in Nigeria as a country, we don't even have an accurate database which contains the number of the Nigerian Citizens and Residents who are working as employees (whether for the government or for private establishments),, or the number of people who are owners of businesses (whether they work alone in the business by themselves, or whether they employed any employees)..

THERE IS NO ACCURATE DATA ANYWHERE,, NOT TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER THE DATA IS COMPLETE OR NOT..

Globad:
Which countries are doing well without taxing their citizens and how are they funding their budgets?

Don't forget that income tax is not the only form of tax in a country. Also, don't compare Nigeria to a country like Qatar.

Ebola Tinubu has destroyed Nigeria beyond redemption.

lexy2014:
Why should he not compare Nigeria to qatar?

Is it because of taxes that Nigeria is not doing well?

The taxes that have collected so far, what has been done with them?

blacknp:
Ask your state Governor to explain what he has done with all the tax monies, he has collected in the last 8 years.

That's not what it means.
In the US, agriculture makes up just 6% of GDP yet the US is the biggest exporter of food.
Netherlands is the second biggest exporter of Food Agriculture makes up less than 2% of their GDP.
Russia is the biggest export of grain and edible oil agriculture makes up less than 6% of their GDP.
So it's a good thing that other sections are catching up. Agriculture is one of the least profitable economic activities in any economy.
It's a good thing that communication and others are growing.

British Virgin Islands
Cayman Islands
Saudi Arabia
Monaco
The Bahamas
Qatar
Kuwait
Bermuda

And others.
Which of this countries above is Nigeria better than in terms of literacy rate and education, infrastructure and electricity, healthcare, road and rail infrastructure, minimum wage and quality of life, per capita income?

Just tell me one country?

Nigerians keep electing stupid leaders and keep hoping for a turn around in the situation of the country.

A smart and knowledgeable leader would run Nigeria like a business or big production company to generate income for all it needs without focusing so much on taxing everyone.

The revenue derived from all the minerals in Nigeria, including crude oil, gold, silver, lithium, iron ore etc is enough to build all the roads, provide electricity, provide public hospitals, public water and fund security... Aside from security, every other service provided can be tolled or charged to provide revenue to not only maintain the infrastructure but build new ones... electricity can be charged, accessing health care service can be charged, water can be charged, roads can be tolled, trains can be ticketed, etc...

However, corruption and inefficiency, stupidity and laziness, plus an extremely large population of foolish people is what has given us a government that is equally corrupt and knows nothing else than to keep taxing people while paying a minimum wage that can never provide the minimum necessities to survive.

Enjoy your government and enjoy your Nigeria.

The day of reckoning is coming for all of you in fortunate position in life in Nigeria who feel because of the amount of money you have and your connection to the government and people in power then the poor and vulnerable in the society do not deserve to live.

One day they'll turn on all of you and you'll become victims of the problems you created knowingly and unknowingly

helinues:
If your agriculture makes just 6% of your country GDP, that means you are producing less agricultural products while importing more.

In Nigeria, agriculture used to be our major source of income hence Nigeria is one of the few countries where food items are cheap.

Declining in Agriculture % means we are producing less hence the ridiculous high price of food items

tctrills:
US, the Netherlands, and Russia are 3 food exporting giants so you are wrong.
In fact, agriculture has a higher percentage of GDP in Nigeria than the top 10 food exporting nations in the world. Please look it up and learn.
