Less than 10% of Nigerians pay personal income tax. In fact, only those in well structured paid employment get to pay. Even at that, over 90% of them don’t pay up to 30%.

Again, it’s sad to see people ignorantly thinking their personal income taxes goes to FG. No, your taxes goes to your state government fully. Tinubu gets all the blame for the tax reform while state governors take every personal income tax. Even the VAT, states take 85% while FG takes 15%. Nigeria is probably the only country where the central government doesn’t take a dime from payroll tax. In US, Germany etc, FG takes the lion share from payroll tax. Not in Nigeria.

This comment is why you will never have good leaders.

Tax does not form the majority of our earnings. Oil income does.

That's why looting happens. The money is not coming from our pockets most of the time. Truth in the 1960s before oil became our income earner, truth today

In Germany , most money that the politicans spend comes from tax. That is why their people hold them accountable. One would be madt to steal in a country where 90% of budget came from tax

Hahaham. I am coming..I day come.

Okay

1. Germany has a higher per Capita GDP. That's because it is an active exporter of manufactured goods and services. I mean we all know at least one international brand that is German.

Nigeria is a country that depends on income from 1.5 million bpd of crude and revenue from tax that never reach 23 billion dollars annually.

2. The man wants Nigerian government to do the same as German government on the budget we have?

Plus Every German pays tax to the central government and state government and even local government . Nigeria wey only ten million out of 230 million pay tax? Okay o.

And he dey compare am to Nigeria where only ten million people pay income tax and revenue from oyel is not up to 100 billion dollars annually ( Germany is spending 600 billion dollars this year as budget, compared to our 36 billion dollars )



We would end up with debts in the trillions of dollars in the next ten years if we did what he is demanding.

Someone wants government to do what 600 billion is doing with 36 billion. ? Na WA o.

Abeg, tinubu government is useless. As are all our past government including GEJ. Because if a country like Nigeria cannot do budget of 800 billion dollars by now, that means all our leaders are useless


And the thing is many Nigerians think that 36 billion dollars can guarantee a lifestyle that 600 billion dollars can cover. Na WA o.

This age is blessed to hit the buttons and that's all. As long as it is with Black leaders ....which we grew up to know, their best is showing the marginal gains we gain after selling out to the Western lords.....
Right now, our presido cannot even account for his people who bandits have taken rein of their livelihood.
He will quickly tell an Elite, his condolences even knowing he owes the populace an improvement in simple health services.

I want to engage with u on this. Are u ready to have proper conversation on this and let spit out facts. Are u ready?
Now, answer me, what have we achieved with what we have collected so far? Hope u know that nigerians have been paying tax and for heaven sake, nigeria's problem is not lack of fund, Nigeria's problem is fucking wastage. When will people like u admit this truth?
All the past Buhari ministers who looted this country dry, where are they? Are they serving jail terms and their stollen wealth gotten back and invested in Education? Why are we not exporter of finished goods? Why are our senators over paid with crazy benefits? How can a poor country have extremely wealthy politicians? Are u saying we are created to fund the life style of politicians? Why arent we invested in education to enable us produce graduates who can produce and exports?
We want to get into agriculture but govt cant even get security right for young Genz to even consider farming. So, whose fault is this? All politicians do is to live large. Are u saying that taxing us while we buy bottle water, drive on bad roads, use private hospitals and schools, buy fuel for generator for electricity, etc? Is right? Like we came to this world to give up our natural resources to govt, they loot, give up our taxes to govt, they loot?
Aso Rock budgeted 7b for solar. What happens to Nigrians paying tax from their small hustle who have no electricity? I want u to answer these questions clearly.
Has any ex president be investigated before and loot recovered? If we protest, do we get arrested? So, u jst want us to work, pay tax and govt officials use natural resources to carry babes and buy properties in Dubai? I want to engage u here and pls, answer me with logics and not sentiments

tincityboy:
So after everything your eyes see for the subsidy removal u still de believe this people?... So we don leave subsidy mon3y for them like this o..
Na our own money remain to collect in name of tax.. And u will see someone wey no follow de share de loot de defend them .. Why are we not asking questions about the subsidy they told us was killing us?... Now is tax

nairalanda1:
You are acting as if my comment means I am supporting looting. That is why I cannot engage with you, because you are beating a strawman.

Go and get rid of that idea that I support looting and see me later.

How come Nigerians and other Africans are fleeing countries with less tax to slave awaya in Germany and other exhorbitant tax places where free education for all children is available in schools with well paid teachers, among other benefits

9jatriot:
I can almost swear that this guy is lying. Most of the things written there are either outright lies or not for everybody in the country.

After they finish selling these types of lies, Nigerians will now do all sorts of evil (even kidnapping), sell all their properties and then japa. Only to get there and find out the harsh realities that what was promised is different from what you get.

The first question any sensible person should ask is, if government does all of these things for people over there whay then are there still homeless people?

What Germans call tuition free University is still higher that what we pay in our public and maybe even private universities. Even though tuition free, by the time you pay all the other so-called small fees, it will add up and be more than what we call school fees here, but technically it is still called tuition-free.
