Tinubu is overtaxing Nigerians and is robbing poor citizens. Some people support whatever he does even though they themselves are suffering just because he’s Yoruba. Being Yoruba doesn’t exempt you from suffering and lack social amenities. They keep promising us what Buhari did. “Wait and see next year”. We’re in that 2026 and nothing has changed. No light, no industries, no security. Look at education and housing. Tinubu is still appointing and has prosecuted no embezzlers. A president who wants to work show’s accomplishments. Look at Donald Trump working for his people. Tinubu still sells all minerals and can’t build or revive a single industry. All the people screaming WAIT, l wonder the magic they expect without industrialization. The man is simply sick and using Nigerian blood to travel to France to treatments. Tinubu has not built a single hospital. Everyone is japa. No doctors for hospitals again. No ambulance in Nigeria. No paramedics. No road safety agents. They are all collecting money and extorting drivers. Drugs everywhere guys just day waste their lives. Everywhere na hotel to turn our sisters to ashewo. Even the Yoruba people sef day kpai everyday from corruption. They have to stop taxing Nigerians. I can’t understand how a wealthy nation like Nigeria her citizens can’t buy iPhone. Nigerians see iPhone users as rich. Ordinary iPhone way small pikin day buy abroad. Cars way one month salary day buy abroad na gratuity Nigerians take say buy am. This is insane. See every time l send money 54 naira disappears. It doesn’t even matter even if l do it hundred times in a single day they just keep on extorting me. And so they do other Nigerians. This is evil now. And you have people supporting this nonsense

Nonsense, Nigerians pay some of the lowest taxes in the world. I am talking of those who actually pay, most pay nothing.

You could have listed how Nigerians are being over taxed but all what you read from your epistle is only ranting with no substance

The first thing a government that wants to develop a country must do is tax. Where do you expect money for development to come from?

Tinubu is Taxing Poverty...

Very irresponsible man.

We told Nigerians that the Senile man would extend the Lagos " owo mi da " to Nigerians but they brainwashed people with their media and propaganda.

TINUBU HAS NOTHING TO OFFER

Tax is good but the threshold is too poor

If I'm government I would go after company taxes.. Reduce the rate then increase punishment for none payments

Then luxury taxes

Then property taxes

Car taxes

Then invest in the poor

Tax threshold should be minimum 4 million yearly income

I agree with you but the approach should be fix minimum wage high enough for everybody to be able to pay and enforce it on all employers. That alone is a revenue boost trick

What was the savings from Subsidy money used for.

Now we're working hard for the government to steal our destiny through taxation.

The irony is "Agbadorians" who are supporting this policy don't even have money to be taxed sef.

Crap! Companies are the entities creating jobs. Why increase their taxes? Income taxes should be enforced for every salary earner.

Childish post.

You want to enjoy everything listed, want to enjoy the same Uk standard of living but don't want to pay tax.

A country of 200m.

Most of you people are ignorant with stoneage reasoning.

The problem is FG have no stake in personal income tax. It is for states. Therefore the FG is pursuing only it's own taxes VAT and CIT and CIT is always very difficult to recover especially from private companies. I don't know if the tax law want to help states collect personal income tax

I said reduce company tax ... Read again

Na u dey spew rubbish. Taxes in those countries reflect on the quality of the people's lives. Good roads , health care, education, electricity etc

nawao .how much did Anthony Joshua pay as tax in his recent fight.40M dollars from around 90M Dollar generated.come back to Nigeria and show me any of our celebrities dropping almost half of what they earn as tax.
We can only advise the government to make good use of the tax gotten and not squander it.

Start by telling us how much you pay

hmmm. How many good road, electricity, good health care and good education can a yearly budget of 38billion dollar fit give 200M plus Nigerians. Countries like South Africa does a yearly budget of around $170 billion dollars for just less than 100M people. And they generate as much as $140 billion from their revenue.
The only way out of this is to increase the tax net(most rich people in Nigeria aren't paying tax) and also the other resources should be tapped into for more revenue and more importantly, Nigerians (paper thieves in offices and the political class) should allow the little been generated work for all the citizens.
I remember during Corona in 2019/2020 when people were asked to stay at home.more revenue was gotten because papers thieves in various offices didn't have the opportunity to steal.
