All these things cant be taken at mere face value, the same way we make the mistake of saying Nigeria sells gasoline at very cheap.rate compared to western countries.

What we should do is place these costs aside by side the purchasing power of the citizens using indices such as minimum wage, rate of employment and per capita income. That way you'd get the real image of the COST of these things.

Okay. Other Africa countries minimum wages may be higher now because of our economy by the time you covert it to doller it looses value, yet their VAT rates are high. How are we going to run the Government when the economy is Bad? O VAT was still 5% when our economy was good. Rated as the Lowest in the world as at 2013.

Practically all the countries with high vat rates are socialist countries with free and compulsory education upto phd level, free medical care, subsidized housing for most citizens etc. Comparing Nigeria to Sweden is an act of ignorant stupidity.

as at 2013 our minimum wages was higher than some African countries yet their VAT were high while ours was the Lowest in the world. Reason it na.

The problem in Nigeria is the stupidity of Nigerians, minimum wage, GDP, employment rate should be considered before VAT rate,

But there are African countries on that list, like Chad, Congo, Zambia, Senegal, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana etc.
We might not like the proposed increase but the truth is that in Africa Nigeria VAT is the lowest and not all commodities are VAT in Nigeria compare to South Africa where petty things you pay VAT.
