Subsidized with what money with over 140 million Nigerians at or below abject poverty levels already with no hope of a good Christmas?

malali:
➜You have a poverty mentality.....lol. The government can give the travelers vouchers. These vouchers can be redeemed in Nigerian businesses, hotels, restaurants, real estate any major purchase. The owners of these businesses can use it as tax credits to pay the government for taxes. Nobody is given physical cash. Learn to think outside the box....its okay to be broke, but don't have a poverty mentality, because even if you see an opportunity you wont recognize it.

Kobojunkie:
Extending limited tax breaks only to those companies patronized by visiting Nigerians is how you go about not having this poverty mentality?

malali:
➜Tax breaks incentives stimulate revenue generation when done properly. Thus stimulating the economy. If done over a few years.....you can slowly cut back on the tax breaks.

Kobojunkie:
Your suggestion is that these Tax breaks be extended only to companies that serve visiting Nigerians— many of them probably owned and patronized by rich Nigerians—, ignoring the many other companies and businesses that the local Nigerians depend on and benefit from. That is how you properly stimulate the Nigerian economy?

malali:
➜Tax break be extended to any company which the visiting Nigerians decide to patronize (Once they give you the vouchers, you can give some to FIRS in lieu of taxes). The visiting Nigerians have the choice of walking into any establishment and using their coupons.(This eliminates bias of selection of whether an establishment is owned by a rich or poor Nigerian).
➜This is a moot point. This is a tried and tested model in many economy models. Its modified version of travel miles, credit card points, And yes it will stimulate the economy,increase employment, without necessarily deploying physical cash by the federal government. If you still dont understand do a little research....its not voodoo, i promise.

Kobojunkie:
If you have ever had people visiting Nigeria or visited Nigeria yourself, you would note that there are businesses you almost instinctively stay away from. And many of these businesses are run by poor Nigerians. And you do so likely because you don't trust the quality of their products or you are too afraid of the potential health repercussions of patronizing their wares. I don't visit any roadside bukaterias, buy pure water from street vendors, or even stay close to the slums when I am in Nigeria. That is me and I know a lot of others who do the same. I prefer to buy and eat in more established places or at least where I feel the most at ease and these places are typically run by the rich. So, again, this tax-break of yours which will end up extended majorly to companies run majorly by the rich will benefit the over 120 million Nigerians who are living in poverty situations how?

2. Tried and tested in a place that is like Nigeria or a place that is absolutely nothing like Nigeria is today?

malali:
➜The rich cannot work there themselves.They have to employ people. If Amazon gets tax breaks and gets more business, it will need to hire more staff. I don't think this concept id for you. You seem to just want to argue regardless of me enlightening you. You seem like a doomsday naysayer...People who dont believe anything can ever work......lol

Kobojunkie:
Recall I had asked if your idea had been tried and tested in a place like Nigeria or at least a situation such as Nigeria is in today. Well, your response tells me all I need to know. 🤔

The working conditions and situation for the average Nigerian worker, some of who work for companies owned by these supposedly rich people is nothing to be compared to that obtained by those who work with Amazon. So, abeg, thank you ... come again! 🙄

✓ You are someone that will never see good in anyone's idea. You have a negative perspective of every thing suggested. You have NOT brought forward any counter positive suggestions. You thrive on just tearing down ideas you could never have come up with.
✓ Asides, being combat ready with what if,what about,what of.....I dare you to make a more intelligent counter suggestion. Let me see if your brain cells can create anything other than negative opinions

Subsidized flight ticket
Abeg stay wherever you are, if you can't afford a ticket, you have no business coming home
Some of Una just get ideas wey supposed perish as one, but you go dey find way to implement am.
Majority of our politicians seems to have better idea than most of Una wey dey condemn them.
Imagine Tinubu announcing flight subsidy with the current economic crisis
About 140m people in poverty, the fund to lift this people out of poverty, make we use am to subsidize the rich.
Your idea na paper dog, e no dey bite, let's leave it for the paper abeg
