Do you need to pity your citizens until they protest? I do not still understand why politicians are thus wicked and useless.......na geepee tank God go take measure una punishments.

It should be scrapped because it's just a way to source for funds for Ambode re election after Tinubu must have taken his massive cuts.
Let them look for other means of sourcing for funds for their personal and political agenda.
The criminal enterprise in Lagos State that started in 1999 must be resisted in 2019.

Ambode na craze man.

Billyonaire:
Increase or decrease, I do not pay land use charge, it wont come from my purse, I will make sure that tenancy rates are raised to accommodate the increment. Cos every citizen who voted for Ambode should be the ones to face the repercussions of their actions.

I can not pay rent on nature's land, the masses will. Cos they refuse to wake up.

I think the Lagos people are the one to blame because i dont think all these discussion would be possible if they have already burnt the governors office
Lagos people are simply weak and stewpid! Houses are already more expensive in some part of lagos than USA and now they want to add another problem

Hmmmm eko oni bajè
Most of us woke up a few days to hear about the Land use charge
We have all being drunk from the start with the wonders of the so called Lagos state model of government while the likes of fashola laid the foundation of another milking factory to feed the elites or the financially awake minds
Some time a few years back in 2004 when I started reading about how to get out of the rat race, I came about an American model of investment where by you can invest in the charges due on a home and hope the home owner defaults
Now this is how it works
The state government places charges on homes like our land use act
They quickly create investment certificates on those charges and sell to the investing public since states need quick cash
These certificates are bought for the amount the home owner is owing with some percentage of interest
As time goes the value of the certificate goes up
As the more time it takes the home owner to pay,there is a penalty for the days delayed.
Now if the home owner doesn't pay and the charges climbs close to the value of the property
The government forecloses on it
Takes the home from the home owner
And auction the said property with the investor given the right of first buyer or waiting to sell off to reclaim is investment in the certificate
This is the motive of the land use charge
For many its evil
For the financially smart its a new way to make money.
So while some think its a way to punish the igbos as I ve read in many online discussions with the phrase if you no like am go ya state.
The real deal is to make investment vehicles for the super rich and smart

StaffofOrayan:
You were making sense until you made Igbo's the victim!, taxation has been going up since the days of Tinubu, stop your wailing, I guess if Anambra or Kaduna raises taxes it is to punish Igbos? oshi

kokomilala:
I thought Fashola was elitist whilst he was governor. Then came Ambode, who posed with a populist gesture. But will the onslaught of the Land Use Charge, its clear that this line of unconscionable leaders may continue unbroken for some time.
But for the pressure from the organised private sector, this volte face wouldn't have been possible. It's a culture of leading undefeated, hapless and prostate people.

tourplanet84:
we complain too much in Nigeria. The new revised land use charge would have enabled Lagos state to generate N70 billion per month and thus have capacity to execute more project.

Mazdell:
Good

tiredoflife:


Until u understand me u won't get it
Igbos are not ur problem
I never made igbos the victim
I said many are thinking its a shot on the igbos until they find out its a war against us all
Read slowly
OK

franchasng:
Scrap it!

Nigerians as a whole are not supposed to pay any form of tax to any Nigerian government; be it federal or state government, because Nigerians do not enjoy any benefit from the government.

What's the land use charge for All Lagosians should protest further until they scrap the whole land use charge cos its corruption and in fact it's a taboo!

No good roads!
No water supply!
No constant electricity!
No health relief or reliable govt. healthcare system
No good govt education system!
No social amenity for Nigerians!
No welfare package for poor and aged Nigerians!
No reliable security!
No housing scheme for the homeless and poor!
No good governance!

So what is the tax for For the ghosts ruling Nigeria or for who

Nigeria's crude oil revenue should be enough to make Nigeria a tax free nation for all Nigerians if we had sensible leaders

olaboy1:


I just hope you will not be here complaining if you don’t get to see quality roads around your neighborhood. Crude oil is not enough to serve over 180m people.
