Is not about paying tax,will the money be used to bring growth and development?..or it will go into some group of persons pocket.You are right regarding tax but the big question is will the money be used judiciously.
The laws in Nigeria are too weak and some group of persons feels they are above the law...where is yahaya bello?..
You think people celebrity pay 50% of income as tax n government won't work?

Do you think that? Then you don't know the effect of tax

I keep saying it that Nigeria is not a nation and can never be a nation. Nigeria does not possess any of the features of a nation which are common religion, common language, common culture, common historical background, etc.

Nigeria is an artificial entity created by Britain for selfish economic reasons. But Nigerian politicians keep fooling the gullible
people with the fake name 'NATION' just to plunder, steal and distort the truth.

How can people who don't have same political ideology, language, religion, culture, historical background, etc be called a nation?

Mark my words. People who usually show to be the most patriotic citizens of Nigeria are the worse set of tribalists and ethnocentric idiots.
so from your mo.ronic and idi@tic definition

Russia
Belgium
Canada
United States
Singapore
Malaysia
Switzerland
are not nations

because they are multi ethnic , mentality polarised, speak different languages, different religious backgrounds, etc.

excuses upon excuses 😴

the reason why Nigeria and most of Africa is the way it is, is because most of the citizens are silly and stupiiiíd

break the country into twenty
that mumuness will still ruin it

You are nothing but what Burna Boy just described.
Collateral damage.
If all the loans and crude oil can't fix that road in your place you think it's burnas tax that will fix it?
National Assembly and Executive cum judiciary have finished Nigeria with Salary, allowances and corruption QED
Sometimes reason before you type

If government can effectively tax n steal it why are they not doing it.

Human reasoning is different, there is reason America n Europe done deduct your tax automatically they make u withdraw n pay it.. You can't steal such money n walk away

You aren't listening to them or you haven't been paying attention at all, it seems! undecided

Many on the streets, particularly the older crowd, have dreamed of this break-up. Growing up in Ikorodu in the 80s, many believed it was sure to happen. Ikorodu is not in the SE. During the recent protests, we saw people raising flags of another country while trampling the Nigerian flag. Now, more than ever, many in all regions are pretty much sure a breakup is coming. So, this isn't one region trying to break things up but people in all regions clamoring for a break-up! undecided
so when the breakup comes and the sh@tholes that come out of the former Nigerian state are still shames and failures, who/what will now be the next to blame?

dumb negroes

But where is the 'peace and prosperity' in the tiny countries around you?

Name ONE of them that you can migrate to now, to live the happy prosperous life that eludes you in Nigeria.

The man on the street is NOT calling for the break-up of Nigeria.

It is IPOB thugs greedy to steal the Niger Delta oil in the guise of 'Biafran freedom' that are calling for the break-up of Nigeria, NOT the average Nigerian on the street.

If you stop the average guy on the streets of Kaduna, Lagos, Ibadan, Jos, Benin, Abuja, Sokoto, Lokoja, or Calabar, and ask him if Nigeria should break up, he will say 'why'?

Don't mistake the feelings of IPOB supporters in Aba and Onitsha for the sentiments of the ''average Nigerian on the street''.
you have a serious problem

Nonsense talk really! You don't hear South Africa and Zambia crying, do you? They were all amalgamations formed by the British. Nigeria's problem isn't the British but division amongst the people sponsored by the political class who employ a divide-and-conquer approach to ruling over them. undecided

Keep supporting evil. Since independence till now what has Nigeria achieved, absolutely nothing. We are yet to see quality education, good roads, good healthcare, job opportunities, etc. many talents are wasting away because the government have not given them room to strives, what has the government had done for us, nothing. I want to ask you this question please answer it, what really make Nigeria a nation?
Kushites:
Don't mind Burna Boy.

E go smoke finish begin talk rubbish.

Somebody better tell him that it is that name NIGERIA that has made him big, not that rubbish he's singing.

Does he think if he came from South Sudan or Sierra Leone, or mushroom republic of Biafra, anybody would give a shit about him?

Foolish man.

Same burna that assaulted someone because he over took him on the express , bullied his artists, threatened someone with his wife with his guards at a club because he was trying to woe her.
I don’t know if Aliens live in Nigeria.

On a bare hill's top, in the North, wild and cold,
A lone pine-tree somewhere stands;
She dozes, swaying, all covered by snow
With a mantel from feet to a head.

She sees in her dreams: in a faraway desert,
In lands where the sun enters skies,
Alone and sad, on a rock's sunburnt lather,
A beautiful palm-tree abides.

That some miscreants raised Russian flags in the north does not mean they want Nigeria to break up.

Also, public demonstrations in which less than 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the country are in the streets are no indication that Nigerians want the country to break up.

The recent protests were not about people clamouring for the break up of Nigeria.

They just wanted the rise in living costs addressed.

Your discussions with a few people in Ikorodu donkey years ago does not prove a national desire to dismember the federation.
I have been following your comments on this thread. insightful and knowledgeable i must say!

Don't mind these stupid Nigerians.

Miserable idiots.

Somebody from Rivers or Enugu will be moaning about ''NIGERIA'', meanwhile his state governor is banking their monthly allocation, and buying mansions in America.

But no. The problem is not the governor and his thieving state colleagues.

The problem is ''NIGERIA''.

People in SOKOTO.

''NIGERIA'' made your state governor, who you all trooped out to vote for, to loot your state funds.

IDIOTS.

BURNA SHOULD GO AND FCK HIMSELF.

TODAY, over 60% of national revenues are shared out to the STATES.

They are richer than the FG.

The states are largely autonomous now.

They can generate their own electricity.

Harness their own resources.

Zamfara state today is harnessing its gold, and has gold mines where anybody can go and do business.

I saw an Igbo man there doing gold business freely.

Lagos state is building railway lines everywhere.

What is stopping each state from doing the same and harnessing their resources to generate more revenue?

NOTHING.

But these IDIOTS will ignore their useless state governments to blame ''NIGERIA'' for all their problems.

USELESS THINGS..
I have same sentiment as the points you noted but don't insult Burna boy.thats his opinion and besides, you can't ever call him useless because he is better than you 1 trillion times.

I have always emphasize that Governors are the main problem of Nigeria.

I like burnaboy.

He is more than just a human.

Wealthy superstars and very comfortable who says the truth about things aren't easy to come by these days.

I have never seen the likes of wiz.kid, davi.do addressing the nation situation.

They're the most recent emergency lovers of Nigeria.
During Buhari's time, it was the Fulanis
These 2 set of creatures were both haters of the same Nigeria when Jonathan was there.

Truly, Nigeria is not a country because no real country can function with this level of ethnoreligious divisions, sentiments and animosity. It's actually a collateral damage of a selfish business .
