But we are only seeing taxes without development.

And even more so, reckless borrowing without any tangible development.
Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by franchasng: 9:32am On May 16
At least show sincerity and responsibility with our crude oil wealth and other resources.


Start from there before talking about tax.

Crude oil revenue you cannot account for.

Borrowed loans you cannot account for.

Other indirect taxes, you cannot account for.


Is it direct taxing of already struggling Nigerians that you will account for?

This guy is an idiot and he would get what is coming to him. Pay tax to your corrupt, illegitimate, and irresponsible self so that you will pack the money and give to Chagury in the name of meaningless contracts, to launder for you.

I don't blame you.

You are doing your job oga. Your 30k allowee is sure for this month already?

So like this we are not paying tax? Even people who are not working in this country are paying heavy indirect taxes, like bus fare hike because of agbero, high tariff rates of MTN and others because of taxes, high cost of food because of taxes, overcharging for services by banks because of high demands from the government. There is no tax greater than those.

You guys are evil.

You want citizens to sacrifice while people in government feed large on our collective resources and then come out with these insensitive statements.

Cost of running governance in Nigeria is over the roof, and y'all loot without any atom of remorse.

Very anyhow people

Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by ahmedsaniadamu(m): 9:35am On May 16
Yes we pay tax but we are still yet to have even a good electricity.
Nigerians are suffering with no any subsidy and still pay tax why?
Tinibu is true defination of failure. i don't mind where the next president will be coming from but we need a good leader
Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by reddingtonblack: 9:39am On May 16
can someone ask the dead head president, in lagos are people not paying Tax is the development consumerate
with the level of Tax in Lagos can we say the Development is satisfactory, are the hospital service satisfactory

Again, can Tinubu say in Nigeria Workers both in public & private sectors are not paying Tax since "99 ... How much of that fund have being put into infrastructural build, instead they go for loan all the time

Till date, have Tinubu govt being able to account for Subsidy savings, does he have anything meaning to say other than i have given it to your governor

You want people to embrace Tax, where there is no Accountability, defect to APC n sins forgiven, no check n balances to compel judicious use of funds

Okowa, yahaya bello stole billions they are working courtesy Tinubu support ... and he wonders why Nigeria are resistance to puttin money in a pocket with hole. Very stewpid old man

What about using our resources to pull more people out of poverty instead of taxing more people into poverty.

SmartPolician:
The only way Tinubu knows how to generate revenue is through taxes or inflicting pain on the citizens.

How can a few agbadoh people impose this dullard on over 200 million people and make us believe he's the best we got?
Well, I agree with you.

Buhari even try declare assets during 2015, Tinubu can't and never declare assets to public all what he knows is pay tax increase subsidy , increase tariff school fees in federal parastata. Second term Tinubu will not be funny, people should vote him out.
Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by IsraeliAIRFORCE: 9:45am On May 16
Taxes are meant for countries without natural resources.
Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by dederocs(m):
People won't want to pay tax when politicians share money to citizens , inducing them to vote for them in camera, it shows public funds are being used by politicians how they want. We heard a court sentenced one of the political appointee criminal to 70 years for N800billion, how will the people want to pay tax, while politicians live lavish with it.

Why are politicians living so lavishly, spending anyhow, like public funds is their property or personal money?
Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by frank417: 9:47am On May 16
A citizen CAN demand development without paying tax. Stop deceiving people.

#Pls do your research.

Chinedu that sells Okpa at Oshodi under bridge, who has never paid tax is also making noise here..
Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by Urgent1Million: 9:56am On May 16

If you don't like it, vote him out next year.

Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by humberjade: 10:02am On May 16
No sensible and patriotic citizen should be against paying tax, but what they get in return for the huge taxation is my own concern. We pay lots of taxes abroad, but while you are groaning, you see working infrastructure, security, jobs and its security in place.

I'd ignore your first sentence as you don't know who you're talking to.

There's no country without indirect taxes,they also pay council tax and bank levies in the West,even VAT on telecoms.
Whether you pay indirect taxes doesn't exempt you from tax liabilities at the federal /national level.
Stayed in a hotel in Milan a month ago and got charged some small fee for local area council levy bla bla bla...
It's global.

If you've been paying,good.
Others in the informal sectors have to pay too,in essence widening the tax basket.
And the informal sector makes the bulk of enterprise and frankly control the economy.
Them gats pay.
