Not against taxation, as every government must tax her citizens and every citizen owe government the responsibility to pay taxes.

However this government in Nigeria is taxing the poor of the poor disproportionately.

Increasing VATs and the outrageous bank charges over very small transactions plus monthly bank deductions for no service rendered will further increase poverty and not reduce it.

My wife visited Nigeria a few weeks ago and she returned to confirm to me the intensity of poverty enveloping the country.

It was President Tinubu who said ‘let the poor breath’ but in this government of his, the poor are seriously dying out of suffocation from his tax regime and policies.

Emeritus, tell us what can grow economy if tax revenue can't?

SalamRushdie:
UK produces 760 thousand barrels of oil a day in the North sea alone ..This is outside what they steal round the world using Shell Petroleum..

DMCY:

Blackdisciple:
So after taxing us what do we get in return it's just a simple question

It seems you are a fool

CursedOsuPigs:
You don't pay taxes in Nigeria.

VAT alone in the UK is 20% - and it's charged on almost everything you buy. Then you pay Council Tax, you pay Road Tax (if you own a vehicle), you pay TV Tax (yes your TV is taxed) and all these are beside your normal Income Tax which could range between 22% to 40% depending on your income.

And please don't give me the sermon of "ah, sheybi you guys see what they do with the money". Most of their infrastructures here are old and sometimes outdated.

DMCY:
Do we earn the same wages they earn in yoouuK?

CursedOsuPigs:
You seem not to get the point, do you? It's not about the wage people earn, it's about how many people are in the taxi net.

If you want to go the wage route (because I can imagine you're already thinking £ to N), do you also pay N2.5m monthly for accomodation in Nigeria, do you buy a small biscuit for N1,000 do you spend N800k on feeding monthly. Do you service car with N450k (just change oil and put filter ooo).

When I was in Nigeria, I was paying 139k monthly as PAYE but that was even far better compared to what we pay here.

DMCY:
If it’s too much to pay over there, you’ll be welcome back with open arms 🤗

CursedOsuPigs:
You should know this, I didn't leave Nigeria as a hustler...I was super comfortable and I didn't pay my way to the UK. If I come back to Nigeria today, I'd live like a King.

And don't bother to open your arms to welcome me, it won't be needed.

Quite sad I replied your mention….

I never said I voted for bulaba, serial loser or gringory…
Face front bros ki

SalamRushdie:
For every 1 million barrel shell declares they have removed 3 million barrels from your country, thats why they can agree these 60/40 revenue sharing ratios with various govts

ambale:
Which one of it do we now get for free??

Una go just open mouth begin dey foam

MIKOLOWISKA:
really
You think you can steal 600 trailers of oil and nobody will notice

Do you listen to yourself?

Eniitankorede:
Most of that money goes to Scotland. Oil revenue is very small part of UK revenue. Tax is the bedrock of UK revenue.
