U deserve an award!... In fayose tone "this government is like nollywood"

Super1Star:
****

Something is an Act, a law in its own right and your are here debating something that is not debatable.

FG only implemented the law. How is that a crime?

We are too used to lawlessness in this country to the extent that we now believe it is the right way of life.

Emperorone:
There is no difference between this government and the Nigeria Police....Siamese twins

Yorubago:
Some people will defend anything this government does even though its arrant nonsense

chukstel:
No one is complaining of bank charges. what we are saying is the N50 charge for stamp duty is not OK. this is different from the normal bank charges that you incurs during transactions.

where does the bank charge money goes to in the us? is it the bank purse or the government purse.

please let's not always use the wrong comparisons just because we want to defend someone/something.

thanks

stevecantrell:
The OP has spoken well.

But legal issues aside, if the FG is too weak to enforce its fines on multinational corporations like MTN, they shouldn't seek to further pauperise middle/lower class citizens with this policy, simply because they're a soft target.

Osakah24:
Are these guys discouraging people from using the bank?,there are a lot of things that could be taxed in Nigeria,many people have many cars and houses at different location that they don't pay tax on,these change is turning out to be the more you look,the less you see.

henryhemon:
We Nigerians criticize everything,we want our economy to grow,good services but never ask how are we to contribute towards nation building beyond typing on NL. We want a good life for free?we pay the lowest TAX in west Africa, everything we want for free or subsidised and expect to be relevant who then will build the nation for you. In developed nations revenues are raised basically through taxation but Nigerians think they are smarter we and up deceiving ourselves. This is our own way of contributing to nation building but for cheap popularity those APC haters will criticize anything. I ask them how have you contributed to nation building?

foriz4u:
u ask a vry stupid question. how I've contributed to nation building? now listen.
I voted, that's a priceless contribution.
I pay taxes.
I pay my bills, phcn, lawma, security on my street so many more.
I've not carried arm against d government rather, I've wen a good citizen.
I've prayed for my leaders.
fromy pocket n my parents pockets I got my education she government was never involved, I never went to school through any form of scholarships nor awards like our wicked politicians had during their time.
I pay my hospital bills n for that or my aging parent tru my hard earn money.
I lost my goods, money n some persons even lost their lives on d highway to highway robbers due to lack of security not being provided y d govrnmnt n also due to bad roads.
my kids, siblings n frnds had little or no education due to poor standard of education.
I fuel my generation n pollute d environs with noise after paying tax n phcn bill that's called double expenses.
what else, so lot more... that's how I've contributed to the government my frnd. now tell me, what has d government contributed to making my life or d life of those around me better? pls give me a honest answer. now u want to say APC-PDP. what different do they make? aren't they government? are they.ot d same ppl? APC is d new PDP n PDP is d old version of APC... talk about government policies and how its affect she common man my friend and not about party now pls....

jpphilips:
@OP.

This government is broke, that is a fact, what does broke governments world over do to raise funds? Tax her citizens.

In your opinion you believe only the rich should be taxed, logical and empathetic from a poor man's point of view, I believe you know the rich will reason it differently, afterall nobody stopped you from becoming rich.

I agree completely the money should be paid directly into the TSA, no doubt about that except the CBN would want to commission the banks before doing so, hence the current means they are using.

Either ways, this government so far has shown nothing but good faith and sincerity of purpose , wisdom demands we support it.
The amount we paid on COT that was recently scrapped was far higher than what you are complaining about, do the maths yourself.

This policy is better than increasing VAT to 20% either way you look at it.

henryhemon:
You can do better than resorting to insult. You call me your friend yet you say your friend asks a stupid question? Make your arguement without belittle yourself,internet give people right to talk to those who ordinarily you could call sir or ma in real life. I don't have time to argue with you again.

foriz4u:
in other sense, you support the motion right? a whole 5% to b charged at every bank deposit. so after I've paid my tax, pay my PHCN, my LAWMA, security on my street(which d government was meant to provide from my tax), pay my cable bill, fuel my generator (for electricity the government r supposed to make constant after paying my bill on already) and pay other governments taxes at the market, transportation n d rest of them, then, the stingy, wicket and mosquitos (blood sucking) government still go ahead to take 5% on my salary because it went tru d bank and u tell me its d law? what stupid law r u talking about is it a law imposed/made by god or man?
ok, look at this , I earn N120,000 as salary
take home pay after tax let's say N108, 000
my coy pays d money into my account, 5% cut so I'll b left with N102, 800.
now, pls tell me what significant prove I've I seen the government have done with all the taxes being collected over time? nothing! they will come out to claim they provide jobs or enable environs for d job. rubbish! did I get any form of scholarship why in school? No! did I get feed? No! has d govrnmnt provided me security, water, good roads, gym, quality education? isn't not my parents who paid tru their brain spending children abroad to acquire good education? when I was to open my coy didn't I pay d government, did they supported with any form of 'free' money or even zero % loan interest? obviously not! so who gives them d right to all these unreasonable taxes and charges? stupid, wicked n inconsiderable arm robbery government. na god go kill all of una wey dey suffer us for dis country. Amen!

foriz4u:

Tokt:
Arrant Nonsense. We are looking for immediate ways to depend less on crude oil money and run the economy u are here talking rubbish.
If u aren't happy, go to court and Sue the govt.
Besides, what the govt simply did is an implementation of an existing law that was never enforced. It's not a new law.

henryhemon:
If i remember this government have been 9 months old and I trust you didn't just start life or get employment? What did they previous government did with all you paid for even with the oil boom?

henryhemon:
Like I said it shows your level of life your comments. I do not need to prove anything to you. Everyone knows who is the kid here.

foriz4u:

idupaul:
You have not achieved nothing. .you think working in a party's data centre a as a social media change agents is an achievement. .you can't even achieve something as common as freedom to think because your director even briefs you on what he wants you to post from time time

I knew I struck a nerve when I called ur wretched lineage out. Again I reinstate and bold to say that no one in ur household has ever acheived as much as I have.

Utchman1:
Please FG is not your father. The earlier you understand that the better for you. You are complaining about 5% VAT where as you will pay 20% VAT in the UK.

It is your responsibility to pay tax to the government.
