Nigeria generates enough revenue already. Cut down the cost of governance!

If you did not vote in the just concluded elections, then you are to be blamed for this.

South East and South South did themselves a great disservice for the low turnout PDP recorded in 2019...

There's hope because tribunal can still salvage Nigerians from this shambolic , vision less, despotic, dictatorial and totalitarian government.

They will pretend to increase the minimum wage, to make the people feel they have them at heart,but will use tax to take it away! APC=Scam!

We don't pay taxes in Nigeria. Every Government in the world is a corporate robber. They give you with right hand and take it back with the left hand. It's not all about the APC. Stop spreading hate. Footballers, musician, actors, actresses etc try to avoid tax some even go to jail. So don't blame the APC. The American and UK we look up to as god pay more taxes than we do.

What's important is that they are pro- business policies.

I would suggest a reduction in corporate taxes to 15% but enforce collection.

They should also ensure collection of VAT. Present only 25% of potential VAT revenue is collected. With corporates taxes, it's far worse.

Simply ensuring collection of the above 2 taxes can increase government revenue by 1% of GDP.. For Nigeria, it's the tax base stupid.

Oga I read all the comments before I got to yours which happen to be the last and I was disappointed in you, when you visit a certain restaurant and they give you the food you ordered after eating to your satisfaction, upon asking about the bill and you are presented with it you will be like wow high sha but las las the food make sense sha and was good that will console u.

In the same vein this countries you mentioned above have successfully used the the revenue generated from tax to better the lives of thier citizenry, in the provision of basic and infractuructural amenities, is it the hospitals, roads, water system to name but a few but can you say the same of your darling nation Nigeria ...pls dont play party politics here cos I hate when people choose turn a blind eye to the truth cos of party affiliation both parties who have ruled this nation have failed woefully in providing the above .

I close with this, I was listened to a message by the founder of KICC Matthew Ashimolowo, and this is what he said I quote " the south African local airport he saw couldn't be compared to most international airport in America and some European countries" can you beat ...in terms of development.

It is people that think like you that makes the govt to be misbehaving always, thinking they are doing the right thing. why not make use of the revenue generated before for the main purpose it is mearnt for, and get a functional tax system in place and see if things won't go well.


God bless Nigeria.

South south and south east even tried. They fought a good fight. Largely, they were disenfranchised BUT THEY STILL DELIVERED but South West and North Central that have the figures were just annoying. Adamawa where a PDP governor won was were they said APC presidential candidate won. Kano is already regretting their actions. THE TRUTH IS NIGERIA DESERVES THE RUBBISH BEEN THROWN AT THEM. Let them increase everything and anything. Nigerians need to suffer well well so that next time, when there is need to change leadership, they rise to the occasion and not let some selfish people have their way

DogmaNation:
Shut ur mouth! APC are giving out hate,hate is what they will get in return. If they are not devilishly minded,why would they increase tax,the same time they are increasing the wage?
