Stop posting tweets from that bastard here, abeg.
You guys end up giving him the popularity he doesn't merit

Reno is making some profound points here. We should all be patriotic enough to pay our taxes. I pay my taxes and I am proud to do so.

The usual inferior beings trying hard to make the thread about them.😌

I dare you to go into chocolate manufacturing with cocoa.

Your chocolate will melt in your warehouse.

Europe and America, the biggest consumers of chocolate by a mile, slapped huge tariffs on, and outright bans in some cases, of value-added cocoa products from Africa, making their processing uneconomical many decades ago.

Same system applies to most African products.

The west conspired long ago to make Africa solely a raw materials supplier to western manufacturers.

Nigeria should develop cars that use sunlight and gas. Instead of subsidising petrol, give innosun the money to produce cheap gas vehicles and government should back up car loans from bank at single digit rate to be paid back 5 yrs.
It's very easy to do but too much politics

DeLaRue:
Finally an intelligent thesis that mirrors what I have been saying all this while on Nairaland.

Any Presidential candidate that promises you things will be honky dory under him and petrol will be cheap, electricity will be constant, prices of goods will suddenly be cheap is living in cloud coockoo land.

You can not keep borrowing to live a middle class lifestyle when you are on minimum wage. Eventually your debts will catch up with you and you will go bankrupt and lose everything.

Over the past decades, Nigerian governments spent more than the country was earning, subsidising this and that, in order to keep the people happy. Those past Presidents feared being unpopular and so gave people what they wanted knowing fully well it was financial poison that future generations will pay for dearly.

Nigerians have got used to things being artificially cheap due to subsidy (education, petrol, electricity etc) that when a new President comes in and say the country will head for the rocks unless we change things now, Nigerians say he is the worst President ever.

Niger Republic, Ghana, and other neighbouring countries buy petrol at around N1300 per litre. But Nigerians want it at N300 or less

Given that both Ghana and Niger Republic also produce crude oil, what is so unique about Nigerians that makes Nigerians feel so entitled to super cheap petrol?

Unfortunately 99% of Nigerians, including the educated ones, just don't understand economics at the level of a currently poor country like Nigeria
You talk on the premise that we trust this government. In fact this government has no credibility from day one. You think we should trust people running the government when they should be serving terms in prison. Talkless of their policies. This people are unpatriotic but rather capitalistic in disguise.

LagosPrince:
Reno the fool didn't blame Peter Obi today

Feldie:
Fool. How much are Nigerians earning that you want to tax 42% from? 58k Euros is around 70m, if I am earning 70m, I will have no problem with government taking 28m as taxes as long as there's good clean roads electricity, safety and other necessity. Nigerian govt cannot do even the most basic of its responsibilities, it's only eying taking things from people without giving anything in return.

For the past one month we've not had upto 10 hours of electricity combined(I mean if you add all the hours Nepa have brought light together it's not up to 10) yet they will come and collect money

tropaz:
Reno, I disagree with you on this... Infact, it's not a smart way to defend the government. Rather you are exposing them the more!!! Silence is golden sometimes

Whois:
Reno na yeye person.

Zeebuy:
You sound silly.
Nigerians provide their own electricity with power generating sets

They provide their own water with boreholes

They provide their own security with neighborhood vigilantes

They provide their own medicare with private clinics and chemists.


Tell me 1 thing an average Nigerian benefits from the government

princeade86:
what are the point he made? We have many countries that don't even depends on taxes, but doing well. Let our politicians also sacrifices for us. We did our best for them by sacrificing for them to live large.

Renoisafool:
This man is an idiot. Shameless animal

Lithiumite:
How does this negate what reno has said.....counter him with facts or better read comments and move on rather than coming to disgrace yourself.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
pay taxes From where?

You want them to pay taxes from impoverishment?

If they cannot improve the economy, and generate new and more prosperity (using strategy other than taxation) for the country, they should just get out abeg

Joshy4u:
Which sense is he making? Can you compare apple with orange?? I live in UK, we pay tax but enjoys the quality of the tax we paid for; without government officials stealing resources with reckless abandon.
The Europe, UK and U.S Reno compared with naija is not known for political CBN robbers like Ganduje that was caught in camera stealing and you made him your party chairman. Or is it Akpabio that Keyamo was prosecuting in court that switched to APC and they both became minister at a time. Or Oshiomole that publicly said that immediately you cross to APC, all your sins are forgiven Or Shetima the boko Haram sympathiser?
No country can grow in the way and manner Nigeria politicians behaves.

kenex4ever:
which point did he raise??

He is talking about taxing 42% in Europe, how much does workers earn per hour there?

If govt can pay Nigerians the way European Countries pay, then we wont have issue paying 45% tax.

You didnt notice what the idiot did? When he didnt see where to put in Peter Obi's name in the gibberish, he found solace in at least mentioning the name of General JTU Aguiyi Ironsi who died in 1966.

GodisFirst:
But the foolish fool failed to recognize that there are so many working Nigerians who are in private sectors and those in personal businesses that are paying heavily on taxes, duties to the government but are not getting value for their taxes in return because his types in government are looting the money, and no infrastructures to show for the taxes paid, insecurity also destroying they businesses by impeding their efforts.
He mentioned Germany, is security situation in Germany same as Nigeria?
Is Electrical power in Germany same as in Nigeria?

He is just looking for who will grant him amnesty after his self-asylum.
