You guys should stop spreading confusion up and down naw. The Saudi Arabia,Qatar libya who use their oil money to better the life of their people do they impose property tax on them ?
When we are supposed to be learning from the Arab countries we will allow one IMf to dictate the state of the nation for us .
Stop all this confusion that breeds suffering its getting stale and nothing is working anymore with it . We are tired of all the gibberish u guys are selling and it's not making a headway

mrvitalis:
Those countries u mentioned... Check their daily oil production multiple by 365 then divide by population

Then do for Nigeria

Ghana produce more oil per capita than Nigeria even... Ignorance is bliss sha

This will result in another big problem for Nigeria which will make many homeless and will increase crime. Reason is, when u tax property owners, they will increase the price of renting out their properties, for those who have such. Then many who can't pay will be homeless. What do u expect, it will breathe crime, turn people to animals who will be easy and willing tools in the hands of all these sects since they will be told that the ruling class are their enemies. And they will start hunting innocent people and politicians who implement such policies. I pray that we don't get there, cos if we do, many people will carry sophisticated weapons and their target will be politicians. Just as boko haram have been doing . IMF should understand that the policies they have advised Tinubu and some other African nations to implement hasn't solved any problems at all, rather it has created more problems.

If you would own properties you must be ready to pay taxes on them!! It's simple.....govt needs money and this money won't fall from the sky,we are a poor country as it is.

What I reckon with the IMF idea is the domestication of this revenue to the local government level where it can be used for development at that level ....there are heavily built up urban areas that lack basic amenities like roads,,schools and sports facilities,health care, security even public water.....many of these communities are already resulting to some self help initiatives which are never enough to do anything but if this revenue can be pulled to develop them,it is more than a welcome development.

The Neo-Colonialists will not stop till every single Nigerian is DEAD.

1-Remove oil subsidy, the country will get better

2-Float the Naira the economy will be perfect

3-Now they are advocating for property tax on every house.

Why did we vote for legislators when fiscal policies are implemented on the directive of IMF and World Bank ? Removal of fuel subsidy and floating the Naira without a legislative debate and agreement by majority constituents in the house of rep and senate.....was an illegal and impeachable act.

COMPAQ:
Focus on the wealthy in VI, Lekki Ph1, Ikoyi, Banana Island, GRA's and its less of an issue. Most houses in such areas a re owner occuopier and if you are renting there, then you are also wealthy and its not a problem. Will someone paying N10mln rent per year in Banana Island move to Gbagada because of N500k?

criuze:
What are they doing with the ones they have collected

oluseyiforjesus:
Imf are not serious

Believeintruth:
so what essentially is Land use charge?

Believeintruth:
Bro must we depend on crude oil only? we have other resources, and we have vast arable land. These can make us earn as much as these Arabs, but greed is the in thing among our leaders.

Tunaji:
well, I reckon we would continue to explore until Nigeria gets better. Let LGAs tax property and collect taxes more efficiently, it is more money for the government. Our debt burdens are unsustainable, we need to have a timeline of say 10-20 years when we would achieve a budget surplus. So more taxes are welcomed and we need to broaden the tax bracket.

If the economy improved we would say the government has done well, and they'd get another four years - the day of reckoning is coming in three years (though it's arguable that four years are too short to see the full benefits of the economic reforms but we have to see some quick wins that signifies the morning shows the day).

mrvitalis:
I have said it here for over 2 years , property tax is what is used to fund bulk of budget around the world

Every state can earn 300 billion minimum yearly from property tax

Lagos and Anambra can earn trillions


And this would always wake the people up and get them more involved in politics

Nigerians are chronic tax defaulters.

They don't want to pay tax but yet want their country to look like Germany.
