You focus on national budget but fail to understand that each 36 states have their own budget..

Yes our budget is small because we don't pay tax. Our tax to GDP is probably one of the lowest in the world... We are glad that by next year tax will be aggressively collected with the new law and implementation put in place which is expected to kick off in 2020...

Buy my question is this...you that collect tax and supposedly have a decent budget

what is the state of your infastructure?

Is your tax money not suppose to reflect in your infastructure? SA that collect decent tax we see it in her infastructure but In Your case it is lacking

Why borrow aggressively to fund every little project as though not even a cent is regularly been collected from you?

What is the essence of paying tax and having a supposedly decent budget when your paved road network still remains mockingly at 7% since independence (over 56 years) with about 4% of that 7% in bad condition? (Honestly I can't imagine what you people are going through. Road must be hell over there with so many bare soil that has never taste bitumen)

What is the essence of paying tax and having a decent budget that funds Kenyatta and his cohorts luxurious trip to Namibia, Carribbean, Emirates, Asia just for holiday?

What is the essence of paying tax and having a supposedly decent budget when it is constantly been looted aggressively?...


Let me just stop here cause the list is endless

samorobo:
I could have told them in another thread

I could have told them in strong pidgin that you wouldn't understand
Plus they don't even need me to tell them to back out from the conversation cos I practically claimed to myself seeing that you constantly called me out.

DarkRaptor:
I think a battle of industrialization and economies is far more important than using aid money to force up empty skyscrapers.

samorobo:
What has your serious budget been doing in your infastructure if not constant borrowing and fast rotting away of infastructures.

Carmit:
So lagos generated $1.3bn internally in 2018 and Nairobi generated $134mn in 2018 and you're still comparing??

Jonraid:
Our rotting infrastructure has propelled us to be among Africa's success story in the ease of doing business!

Jonraid:
Even when the states budget are added, it's still not convincing. Not to mention that the states budgets in Nigeria are grossly over proposed and many if not all the states still rely on the Federal government allocation.
It's not even half perfect.

And just for a reminder, you lead in the number of poor folks in the world!

Come up with any infrastructure rankings and then we compare!

Our logistics rankings dwarfs many nations in Africa including Nigeria. I wonder how we score highly in this sector with yet our dilapidated infrastructure!

Jonraid:
How is Nigeria industrialised and a good economy?

How can you have a good economy whilst having more poor folks than India?

Jonraid:
Argue with these facts!

Kazikazi:
Dar es salaam Tanzania

rvp20182:
Old same arguments. We have been through this. Lagos can levy taxes. Nairobi county cannot. Nairobi county collect rates and licenese fee.

samorobo:
The bolded is just you being a good student by ripping a page off one of those rvp deluded jealousy driven topics....

95% of what I wrote focused on kenya but yes you quickly ignored it and made it about nigeria ....I am not denying that our budget is too small but rather I am simply trying to understand where you decent and yet perfect tax and budget been going into cause obviously we do not see it in your infastructure rather we keep hearing news about another loan waiting to be collected every month.. and the funny things is that you don't pay and your debt are never forgiven so it just keeps piling and taking one step closer to NEOCOLONIALISM

We do not pay tax down here so there is amost no revenue generated

samorobo:
Just suffice it to say yemi kale star....that is where you are heading

But the fact is you didn't tell them.... Yet lied and said you did!!

Also I can simply go on your profile and see every single post you have ever made, so it doesn't matter which thread you might of told them, I would still be able to see.

Also I've been on nairaland long enough to understand Pidgin.....its Really not that difficult.[quote]

And BTW seems like you forget why I call you(and only you) out in the first place??...... Don't you remember falsely accusing me of being a liar? I just find it funny that someone like you who has lied about a number of things would accuse me of lying

samorobo:
I can't help but say it. Your bet system is very organised and world class

samorobo:
Dar never dissapoints

Kazikazi:
The largest city in east African community

rvp20182:
Kenya reminder is africa largest non-mineral economy - you remove Oil from your economy - and see if you'll not fair worse than any of immediate your neighbours..Benin or Niger or Chad or Cameroun.

samorobo:
Why should we remove oil. We are the ones that doomed you to the minutes pints of oil discovered in turkana..
While you wants us to remove oil we are adding has
While you want us to remove oil we are adding mining
While you want us to oil we are adding industrialization

rvp20182:
Yes Yemi Kale has managed to lie to you - that you have 500B dollar economy - when everyone can see it not at South Africa or Egypt level - not even Algeria level. You true economy is around 200B.

rvp20182:
You've wasted 1 trillion usd from Oil and your country is still one of the world most wretched places on earth - with 100M poor people - entire North Nigeria is not any different from Niger.

samorobo:
This is probably the dumbest thing you've ever said. Measuring GDP with what exactly more skyscraper or better roads..
They have better infastructure than us because they earlier took it serious than us. In the case of SA I would say all thanks to the white and in the case of Egypt I would say good governance
Give us just 10-15 years max and they will be at our feets
This days you are even beginning to doubt the nonsense you say.. intially you've been shouting our GDP is $150bn max and now you are gradually beginning to increase it

samorobo:
You that managed your resources well why are you not on Singapore level..Afterall you gained independence about the same time as them and in their case 95% of her citizens where desperately poor but with that little ocean by their side look what a population of 4 million turned out today with her economy giant-ly standing @ $300bn + making your headless nation of close to 50million with so many coastal counties and tea plantations look like dwarf

Jonraid:
It couldn't get worse than this!

rvp20182:
You don't want or need to visit the backward TZ to see Mt Kilimanjaro that we donated to Tanzania.

Amboselli National Park in Kenya - just 10kms from Mt Kilimanjaro

And Westland

rvp20182:
I have analyzed many sector data - and in my view - your economy is 2-2.5 times kenya - that would put it at 200-250B. When we started this thread - kenya economy was around 60-70B - and Nigeria was similarly around 180B.

GDP include infrastructure, skyscrapers, and all those stuff.

Yemi kale nonsense is just laughable. Just start from Agricluture - and remove that 100B worth of agri (bigger than Brazil/Indonesia) . You import food nearly 20B dollars annually. Your agriculture is dead.

As for 10yrs miracle - well pray for OIl - because honestly I don't see how you can emerge from that morass. You cannot afford to build infrastructure with minisclue budget - with 70% dedicated to repaying debts (kenya has 30% debt servicing - Tanzanai 50%_
