Cho cho cho won't work here. The article never included tax you just imported that in. How much is inverter that you can't do with such income. Like I said just say you want to live a life of luxury. They are places in Nigeria good places that you can take family and children to. Must you travel to Europe for a vacation. They are African countries you can go on vacation. It's all about planning and you cannot be travelling up and down.
If you compare by administration you can say inflation now is high but that does not mean that it has eating so much that you cannot be comfortable.
More than 75 percent of Nigerians don't have that amount yearly and that is what you are seeing as a small amount.
I hail you.

Baba, the problem with most black people is poor reading:
Also, politicians have made u believe u must suffer, manage life until u die
How much is inverter? Hahaha, bro, to get inverter to power at least two AC, such setup will cost u more than 10m. Your present spent 15b on solar setup. As usual, una go resort to manage life.
Read the article again, the article is talking about the reality of the current economy. It says, with 30m per year before, u can live a very comfortable luxury life, high standard of living.
But not anymore. U cant achieve such standard in today's economy. That is the point of the article.
Carry a wife, a husband and maybe two kids fly go to vacation to South Africa here, or morocco, and see if u wont burn more than 7m
Like I said, to live a high standard of life with such income now, u will struggle, unlike before, u wont struggle. That is the point.
And the fact that more than 70 percent of Nigerians dont see such money shows that naija is a very poor country, does not dismiss the fact of the notion.

Azazyel:
We all know these. It's not new to me but enough of the complaints. We have been complaining since even before Jonathan regime sef. In several places in Nigeria even Lagos state, 2.5m per month can still give you a comfortable life. Really comfortable! Nigeria is tough yes I know that but 2.5m monthly would run your family bills except you have a wife that delights in squandering your money A man that uses his head would know how to get the best out of that money every month. A friend of mine earns 1.3m a month and he is comfortable with his wife and kid here in Lagos. You don't have to earn hundreds of millions to feel comfortable.

Your friend who earns 1.3m per month, let get started:
How much does he spend on fueling let say v6 engine ride per month?
how much does he spend on generator fueling to achieve at least 20 hours of electricity per month?
Answer these questions.
For a 73 liter engine V6 ride, let start from there first.
Like I said, u will live but u will struggle. Maybe u dont understand the meaning of struggle.
Infact under Buhari, 30m a year, u a big middle class. Today, 30m a year, u arent a middle class. Middle class now starts from way higher. I can tell u that. Like I said, u will need to cut down on your living standard to live with such income baba.
What is comfortable living?

1: 24/7 electricity
2: quality education for your family
3: Quality healthcare for your family
4: Quality and healthy meals? Hope u know that vegetable oils arent healthy? U don price how mucn be origin virgin Olive oil? Cold process coconut oil? Etc. Healthy meals will finish that ur money bro. And u need healthy meals to live longer. The reason your politicians live longer: quality meals and quality healthcare. Initially, u can get that with ur 30m per year, but not anymore.
5: Quality and unlimited internet
6: ability to vacate at least once per year
7: Living in secured estate
8: able to afford pleasure.
etc.
Unfortunately, your friend cant achieve all of these with that income baba. Fueling his gen and car alone will eat up half of his money per month

bobogogo:
With 2.5m monthly, you dont need to be fueling gen. E.g go and get a solar system.

It is not about being poor.
It is about cutting cost.

Some people dont know how to spend money.

Fake lifestyle is not good.

Why can't U people read and understand ? Them swear for black people ?
The article clearly stated that previously, with such income, U would be living well, but now, to live that same standard would be hard. U need the cut down drastically. Which part of this article that U didn't understand ?.
The article tries to highlight the pains of the current reality of Nigeria.
Hope U know how much it cost to install solar that will power your Air Conditionals?

zionstaar75:
when poor people talk it's very easy to identify them.Even dangote won't spew the jargon you're saying.Are u running a hotel or factory that u want 24/7 electricity?starlink Internet?you're a comedian 😉

U are a pity to your self. So only dangete requires 24/7 electricity? Can you see what suffering has done to you all?
A normal Tunisian citizen gets that same 24/7 electricity.. As a human, U deserve it.
If U don't, I deserve it pls. I deserve to sleep under AC, I deserve to sleep with fan on. I deserve to work and see electricity 24/7. Maybe U don't. U have been conditioned to believe that U don't. Sorry Baba, I'm not the cause of your poverty.

24/7 electricity is not designed for only Dangete factory alone. U also deserve reliable internet. Something regular boys are using in Lagos. Sorry Baba. Your home should have smart connections for unlimited streaming, U need a reliable internet not the one presented by useless naija networks.
Try and download 70gig file first with Ur regular naija network. Talking crap

Ajsmart:
This write up brought tears to my eyes!
The people have endured a lot but until millions of citizens stand up and work together to demand accountability from the government, the cycle will unfortunately remain the same! Things will get worse every year with no visible improvement irrespective of which political party comes into power!

And you know the funny thing? Most judging by the comments, didn't read or understand the post
This is the reason the politicians dey use Nigerians play football

anonimi:
For pipe borne water supply, your own state lawmaker is the sure plug, to make your governor employ well paid technicians, engineers, administrators, billing clerks etc to make it happen, instead of drinking water from shitty boreholes.

The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.


@@@@@
@@@@@@@@

This one don come with tribalism for a post that has nothing to do with it. Shameless poor man
No state till date still has water aside digging bore hole, including Abuja

ogascomax:
It's not about poverty just say can 30 millionaire give you a live of luxury. You just want to be wasteful. Who told you that 30 millionaire will not give you all that. They are standard and quality life you can still have. They are good places you can live. You can eat healthy with that money. Your children can go to nice school with it. Do you want to give birth to community.
You think out of the box. Get an inverter. They are people living well without such an amount. They use that amount to live below their means. It's people who are not yet earning some level of money right now that comes with unnecessary expectations that think this way. You can plan even a vacation once or twice a year.
30 millionaire means you are earning 2.5 millionaire monthly. And you are there talking about poverty you are not just serious at all. Many people are building houses without earning such.
You guys go just come online to impress who with fantasy.

Bla bla bla. The article says 30m a year can still make U struggle.
Do U know how much U need to install an inverter that will power at least two AC? Some of U just blab here.
The article says U can live off 30m present if U are ready to drastically reduce your standard of living which U were used to before.
Before the present administration, 30m per year is enough to make U live a very comfortable life. Not anymore.
Have U tried vacation with two kids, a wife and your self. How much does it cost now? Or U don't assume that vacation is part of living well?
I just dey laugh Una for this country.
Even taking local flight with your two kids, wife and your self, for a return ticket, U may need to cut down to just once trip par year.
Look, humans can live off any amount, including 500k per year. The post simply said during this present administration, U will need to struggle if U want to maintain the quality of life 30m per year gave U before this present administration. Remember, for 30m income, U will be paying govt alone over 8m as income tax
The only way to survive on that income is to drastically reduce Ur standard of living in this present reality You can't live how U used to live.

OkanlawonB:
Pls the guy you quoted is not in any way speaking from the mindset of the poor, as he rightly said and me myself will also say 2.5M naira monthly household income in Nigeria today can still afford you to live a decent life.

You are the one that has problems because you don't seem to know the value of money, just calling big money does not mean you are rich, someone that values small amounts is richer than you.

Some of you in this country makes me laugh.
Previously before this administration, 30m per year can give U a good life. Not anymore without U struggling now.
If U have two kids and a wife, try and make a return flight trip twice a year and see how much is left
But before this present naija reality, this is something U can comfortably do with such income. Do U now understand ? I guess U didn't read the article.
People can survive on any income. Even 500k per year.
But U want quality life? 30m can't give U that as a family man now without struggle.

Azazyel:
See bros if you're earning 2.5m a month and you cannot adjust your lifestyle to suit your income then you are living above your means. Simple! Those excuses you put up there no just follow at all.

The problem with most of U is this. U don't read to understand. Now let me explain to U.
30m supposed to give U a very comfortable life in Nigeria before now.
But due to the economic hardship and inflation, 30m will leave u struggling except U are ready to cut down on your living standard drastically.
This was the focus of the article. So, U just confirmed it, U have to cut down on your living standard drastically to live well. And this isn't supposed to be so if the economy is good because such income is not popular in Nigeria.
I don't know why many in Nigeria are not smart Shaa. This article highlighted why 30m per year can't get U a quality life anymore. Do U understand ?
People are living off 2m per year sef. There is no amount people can't live off. It is all about cutting down. So, we are saying that if U live full quality life on that income, U will not scale through but that wasn't the case before this present administration.

I wish to interview these men, they may slap me aswear because I won't take all these craps.
The question is simple, why can't U all also do the sacrifices by earning like Nigeians ?
U are all well protected, have 24/7 electricity, health taken care of for life, cars taken care of for life, security taken care of for life, why not give up on these things and feel the economy the way Nigerians feel it and then come back and tell us if U are still proud.

ogascomax:
Na you decide to go and likely to be living above the 30 millionaire. How many family earn 10 millionaire yearly self. That money will make you to live over comfortable.

U are speaking from the mindset of poor!
30m supposed to make u live well, but due to inflation, u cant anymore. 30m supposed to place u as a middle class, but due to the situation of the country, u arent even close to that.
By the time u fuel ur car, fuel ur gen, pursue 24/7 electricity, eat healthy fruits, live in comfortable area, pay children school fee, use quality health care, eat good foods that are healthy, baba, u don drain already. If u come add flight for ur family, vacation, u are finished. Can u now see?
Some of u dont understand the post and it is basically due to poverty

lawani:
There are many countries if we go by ranking that are ranked higher than Nigeria in corruption but that are industrialized and even respected eg Russia. There is no country without corruption but all countries will take care of what is giving them revenue

The west made u believe Russia is corrupt, they play.
And Russia has low income tax rate. They rely heavily on VAT. I have said that again and again, a resource rich country should focus more in VAT than income tax. A crazy 25 percent income tax for such a poor country is evil.
I have explained that ur money has lost value. So, in your 20m per year, govt considers u as a high earner, but u are not. The money has become useless.
Focus on VAT.
Look at this statement:
"Why Russia's Income Tax is Kept LowState Revenue Structure: Russia is a resource-rich nation. The federal budget relies heavily on taxes and duties from oil, gas, and other natural resource exports rather than relying on citizens’ paychecks"
Can u see? This is exactly what Nigeria should be doing because it is rich. Tax the natural resources, more. Leave the income people make. Tax VAT when people spend their money. That is better taxation. The aggrevated taxation by Tinubu is old model, UK driven, colonial driven, wicked and slavery.
A resource rich country should invest to system that will help them convert their lithium into finished batteries and sell to earn money, okay?

DoWhatThouWilt:
Lol

I LOVE this Bayo guy.

E no send una. He and his family are enjoying life, all thanks to tinubu.

Yes, you are free to type your usual keypad online insults at him to make you feel good and special but remember that it wont change anything.

You will still kindly return back to smiling and suffering.

The guy dey ball on top tax payers money, do U want him to lose the enjoyment? He will do everything to protect it
Tinubu took bullet but dey enjoy life ontop Nigerian wealth.

nedekid:
Oga you said it all, people just talk because they know no better. To afford basic things of life, just the avarage that 30m is nothing. With that amount one is not even near middle class's.

Finally, someone has said it as it is. I was telling someone that 30m per year in Nigeria of today, one is not even a middle class anymore. Maybe lower middle class. But mid-middle and upper middle class, nah. Nah, no way.
Reading comments here, I just dey laugh. Like, most Nigerians are used to suffering for real

lawani:
.If something has never happened then it will never happen. No country with very low revenue to GDP has ever risen

No country with high rate of corruption has ever risen.

lawani:
Lagos and Abuja or PH maybe expensive because of rent and if you really have high income you would be able to afford to go off grid so electricity costs would not be significant. We are not talking of a luxury lifestyle here but comfortable living. Flying in Nigeria today is a luxury and it is even more expensive here than in high income countries. The most senior civil servants are not paid ten million naira per annum after decades of service and you are saying thirty million naira is not enough for you in an average Nigerian city? Can a senior civil servant in any state be described as poor?

U have answered my question. Go and read the post very well. Probably u are among those who read headlines.
30m supposed to be more than enough to live comfortably well in Nigeria but due to the current state of things, it is now struggle except U are willing to cut down on Ur standard of living.
To go off grid comfortably will cost U nothing less than 10m now. Hope U know that.
Like I said if U have family, just know U will struggle to stay comfortable. Yes.
Know how much fueling a V6 car cost alone per month, start from there and know how much is left in Ur monthly income.
So the problem is not 30m, the problem is inflation.
Yes, a person earning 30m per year should be able to fly with ease but not anymore. These are the issues.

Oppositions aren't capitalising on the failure of this govt at all. They are useless. They should do the bring back our kids movement like ApC did then.

lawani:
You have no understanding of how civilization works. Mention the working countries with lower tax to GDP ratio than Nigeria or rather a lower government revenue to GDP ratio because revenue can come from non tax sources

Oga, if U like make trillions and zillions as long as they are stolen like we do in Nigeria, nothing will come out of it.
They mentioned how much is needed to fix electricity for instance which could have solved a lot of our problems. Now, money stolen by two to three politicians alone is enough to fix more than half of our own electricity problem. Nigeria is poor but legislature are over taken care of. Who dey heck told U that the only to fix a country is by increasing tax rate?
No, the way to fix a country is by becoming a production driven society and zero tolerance for corruption and wastage. Nigerian politicians live like US politicians and even earn better than them sef. How can a so called poor country have such mouth watering packages for politicians ?
Nigeria is a lazy country.
Do U know that universities with the amount of empty and agricultural friendly lands we have, universities can be producing enough rice. Like we have no business importing them.
U can't fix security and U want have farmers working? How na? Nigeria has lots of issues to fix, wider taxation is the least things.. a resource rich country like Nigeria needed no more wider tax. She could convert her resource into finished goods and export and earn heavily

Azazyel:
30m a year is good money. Nothing like survival here. 2.5M a month is not survival in Nigeria unless you are living above your means.

What is above your means ?
How much does it cost to generate 24/7 electricity ?
If U have a two kids and a wife, U want to fly, how much will such trip cost U going and coming?
How much will it cost U to feed properly per month ?
How much will it cost U to vacate one or twice a year ?
How much will it cost U to fuel Ur V6 engine car? If U have two, how much?
Una dey make me laugh Shaa. Una never seen anything. U will scale throuth with that money but na survival except U are ready to cut down your standard of living drastically. Such as reduction in hours of electricity, stopp flying, cancelled vacation, etc. these re not living above yr means, they are basic things of life.
My friend in the UK goes to other countries easily within Europe and she doesn't earn much. She flies with ease. Can U see what I'm saying?

benardtotti:
I will try my very best to answer you not as a supporter of the apc but as a Nigerian who advocates proper governance .

First the decay didn't start with this government, it is over 50 years old , when nigeria found wealth with oil in the 70s Gowon made that famous statement that Nigeria's problem is not money but how to spend it , that was the beginning of the lack of accountability that entered governance in nigeria as politicians ajd even the military ended up spending money on white elephant projects, doing subsidy ,and dashing our fellow african countries money .

Meanwhile other countries like uae who also found wealth in oil around the same time sat down and mapped out a blueprint on how to use the oil wealth to develop their country .

You can blame tinubu all you want but the reason I admire his courage is that he didn't come in and do the same populist nonsense other leaders that got us into the mess in the first place , at least he tried to reform the system.

No politician in his first term will try what tinubu did .

Finally , after all said and done even if he looses and a new person comes in how sure are you that they won't continue with Tinubu’s policies ?
Will they revoke the tax act ?
Will they bring back subsidy and begin to pay dangote to supply fuel at 500 per litre ?

Where will they get funds to pay off all our debts ?etc

Forget partisan politics for an instance and go thru all I wrote logically and reply .

Whatever he did is rubbish is he didn't go after past leaders, cut down on govt lifestyle
What he did doesn't affect the elites but the masses so, it is complete rubbish to me.
What is the essence of what he did when he didn't block the too much money given to past and present politicians, their luxurious lifestyle. Some of U are easy to decieved.
They have borrowed us money for electricity, where is the impact ? They had to cancel one recently because the more they borrowed, the more the electricity issue became worse. Bro, answer me, Nigeria problem is corruption and it no leader is ready to fight these elites who are those who milked this country dry, the leader is rubbish. Tinubu is rubbish because everything he did favours the elites. Can he end the luxurious cars national assembly buy every 4 years ?
Look at how much spent on VP residence, billions of naira.
Why should I pay for what the elites created?

GravityDefier:
Some of the comments just keeps me laughing.

@op, poverty has finished the people. Someone belonging to the same WhatsApp group of the posters above me said that 50k is able to make someone live COMFORTABLY in Nigeria.

Anyways, people who eat free food and have no burden to shoulder won't understand the current state of the country.

Bro, I just dey laugh. I believe that the rate of suffering melted by govt has actually made many to see normal things as luxury.
I just dey laugh. 30m a year income, lol, U will still struggle.
Fueling my 73liter V6 engine alone I know how much it cost me per month.
To enjoy 24/7 electricity, I know how much it cost me.
To buy quality fruits per month, na die o.
A pot of quality soup that will last few days, na die o.
To fly easily, na die o.
To go on one or two vacation, na die o.
Hope these people know that to fly a man, his wife and one child now will cost U over 1.5m on the trip (flight plus other expenses).
If U have two kids and each kid is paying 150k per term. That is 300k per term o aside other bills on those two kids.
Go and do school resumption shopping and see.
Most of these people haven't touched money.
Also politicians have made them believe that they don't deserve 24/7 electricity, they deserve to sleep with one hand fanning their body, they deserve to sweat under hot sunlight. Comfort is luxury to an average Nigerian. I no fit follow them argue

WizardOfNG:
@OP.

Lenghty post ruined by misinformation. Nigerians pay some of the lowest tax in Africa and our tax to GDP ratio is around 10%. Lower than the African average of 16.5%.

We pay 7.5% value added tax while many African nation set VAT above 15%.

Diversifying our economy away from reliance on oil, over time, is the best way to make Nigerians and Nigeria richer.

Over years, and perhaps not deliberately, leaders impoverish Nigeria and Nigerians subsidizing every sector leading to an economy that has no buffers to withstand even the mildest economic stress.

They weaponised poverty with numerous subsidies giving a people with low exposure and expectations cheap fuel, unfeasible and self-destructively low power supply tariffs, cheap and substandard education incaple of producing the STEM standard (science, technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Nigwria needs to creat her own solutions across all sectors of socio-economic life, etc, etc.

That is the culture we have to reverse to gain a Country where private sector wealth creation, like the USA, can be commendable.and a driver of greater individual and national wealth.

Some of U here talk trash. The Koko is how much does Nigeria make Vs how much do politicians loot?
Some of U are just so annoying. We make a lot and we could have made more if we invest in production economy, not more taxations.
DRC is one of the richest countries on earth but has one of the highest poverty rate in the world. It is like saying, DRc will develop once U increase their tax rate .
Nigeria wealth is being stolen. Inflated price for public projects, no severe penalty for govt corruption. Nepotism, favourism, extreme corruption.
Like guy, U can't keep saying Nigeria pays lower tax while we have extreme difficulty with electricity, meanwhile, the money stolen by just two politicians is enough to fix electricity issue.
No amount of money made by Nigeria will result to anything as long as the root cause which is corruption and structural weakness aren't tackled. .
Nigeria is richer than many countries but has poorer citizens.
No investment in education, no investment in STEM, no investment in healthcare. We spend a lot on politicians. So, tax more, loot more. Taxation is a lazy man way to survival because U are taxing poverty. Are U ready for me to prove that to U?

ozo13:
15M is more than enough to ball in a year and u can comfortably save another 15m.no deceive urself.15m is like spending 1.25m monthly.400k is more than enough to fuel car in a month (like around 300litre- where u wan even go with 300litre in a month) 500k more than enough for good quality food
300k for miscellaneous .
Infact how many families even fit afford 1m for monthly spending in this 9ja.

I laugh at this.

I genuinely want to understand people who still support the current state of Nigeria. I want to see things from their perspective and understand what exactly gives them hope or confidence in the system.

Here are some of the reasons why I have become deeply frustrated with Nigeria as a country.

Nigeria took control of our God-given natural resources, declared them government property, made enormous amounts of money from them for decades, yet the results are disappointing.

No Proper Public Water Supply
Most citizens still have to dig boreholes just to access water. In many places, there is no reliable treated water system provided by the government.
No Stable Electricity
Even after digging your own borehole, you still struggle with electricity to pump the water. I remember how stressful it was carrying my heavy generator downstairs several times a week just to pump water. It is exhausting.
Poor Network and Internet Services
You constantly battle with poor network coverage. Please do not tell me network is good in your area. Good network should be standard across all major cities, state capitals, and urban centers. Starlink practically came to rescue internet access for many Nigerians, just as generators and solar systems became alternatives to failed electricity infrastructure.
Healthcare Is a Nightmare
Many of our best doctors have left the country in search of better pay and better working conditions. We are left with fewer doctors, poorly funded hospitals, and overwhelmed healthcare systems. Even the hospital I use had to install massive solar infrastructure, and the cost was indirectly transferred to patients like us.
Insecurity Has Become Terrifying
Going to bed in Nigeria now feels frightening. You could be kidnapped. Your children could be kidnapped. Armed bandits have taken over many highways and rural communities. The number of Nigerians kidnapped monthly from their homes and roads is alarming.

Personally, I have not traveled outside the state I currently live in for about three years because of insecurity. The last time I had to travel, I used a flight because the roads no longer felt safe.

The economy is brutal too. One million naira disappears before you even realize it. Citizens practically fund every social need by themselves.

Even as an individual earning ₦30 million yearly, if you are a family man, you can still feel financially drained unless you are willing to lower your standard of living significantly. The moment you try to maintain a higher quality of life, the expenses become overwhelming.

To afford:

24/7 electricity
Reliable water supply
Proper healthcare
Quality education for your children
Good internet like Starlink
Healthy feeding
One or two family vacations yearly

…you may still spend the entire year struggling financially despite earning what should normally be considered a strong income.

Nigerians Pay Heavy Taxes Without Real Value in Return
The government makes enormous amounts of money from citizens. When we heard how much companies like MTN paid in taxes, many people celebrated. But where did that money come from? It came from ordinary Nigerians paying for services.

Nigerians are heavily taxed, whether people realize it or not.

Every USSD transaction attracts charges. Bank transfers attract charges. Driver’s licenses, passports, imports, exports, ATM withdrawals, and countless services all come with taxes, levies, or fees.

You could earn ₦100,000 and unknowingly spend over ₦15,000 through different forms of indirect taxation and service charges.

Companies like Meta and Google also pay taxes to the Nigerian government, but that money still ultimately comes from hardworking Nigerians using their platforms and services.

Yet despite all this, the government still wants to widen income taxation, especially targeting the informal sector — people who built businesses and survived without meaningful government support.

Housing Costs Are Becoming Unbearable
Rent keeps increasing while purchasing power keeps dropping drastically. So how exactly are citizens expected to afford decent housing?

And then people ask why crime is increasing. Survival itself has become extremely difficult.

Nigeria is also a highly dependent society where one individual is often responsible for supporting parents, siblings, spouse, and children at the same time.

Education Is Becoming Unsafe and Unreliable
Honestly, many public schools look abandoned. Some of the videos online make government schools resemble neglected facilities. A lot of parents no longer trust public education, so they are forced into expensive private schools.

So, what exactly is my benefit as a Nigerian citizen?

I know how much money Nigeria takes from me yearly. Even as a freelancer before this aggressive tax expansion, VAT was already deducted from many services and transactions I paid for. The government already made significant money from me indirectly.

Now, after paying VAT across products and services, people are still expected to surrender a large percentage of their income through direct taxation.

Copying systems from countries like the UK without building equivalent infrastructure and public services first is unfair.

I am honestly drained. Nigeria feels suffocating.

And the worst part?

Corruption remains deeply rooted.
Politicians still abuse public institutions.
Elections are still heavily questioned.
Huge amounts of money are spent maintaining politicians and their families.

Citizens are constantly told to endure hardship. But why does it seem like only ordinary Nigerians are expected to suffer?

Can politicians not endure too?

Are citizens alone supposed to make sacrifices while the political class continues living comfortably?

For those who still strongly support the current state of Nigeria, I genuinely want to understand your reasons.

OritaIbadan:
This guy! You are heartless

Don't mind them, they think they are immune to the pains. Make them no worry, I wish them same thing they are accepting for others.

yarimo:
Oby ezekwesili you have never react or condemn IPOB terrorists activities in your state, just a reminder

Don't worry, make those who kidnapped those kids kidnap your own child, all of us go gather condemn IPOB.
Have U ever wondered why the US and EU have never fingered out IPOB for all the things your govt told U they do? But the same US, EU always fingered out Fulani herdsmen? It is because your govt lies to U. The US and EU has the most accurate data of any country on earth.

proxillin:
after squeechchhiiing the neck of nigerians on expensive tarrif, they are remitting the blood of nigerians as tax.

and what do they do with the tax? they borrowed additional 62trillion to pay bandits their boys to arm them with more sophisticated weapon so vigilantes and civilians won't dare near them.

apc protects bandits more than the tax payers.

I keep saying this, Nigeria should scrap income tax. We have enough resources and giant corporate to pay the company tax. Income tax is a scam. These companies pay this tax from money they made from masses. U pay if U dial ussd code now. U pay for heavily for everything and it is becus they need to cover for tax. So, after paying all that, U still pay income tax 😂
Like how na.
Plus the endless natural resources. Hope U all know that naija politicians are among the richest on earth. Na the money be this. Most of these money won't be used well because corruption does not have a heavy penalty.

Hussein035:
You people will just post nonsense to create fear

I bought 8kg at 1,350 per kg at offa garage Ilorin kwara state on 11th of may yet you people were just posting things to create sadness about Nigerian economy

For those of you that hate this country to the point of looking for news to make us sad you will never know peace until you repent

Are u okay?
The stats came from govt institution, lol

What saves u all politicians is that u dont get to be interviewed by a person like me, una go find way kpai me becus i wont even take all these type of bull shit. Are politicans not Nigerians? So, why cant they make sacrifices?
These mad men award contracts to their paddies, inflate prices of item and loot.
I dont blame them, I blame our suffering and smiling. I blame us for letting these people ride on us. For complete 5 days I havent seen a single light, I have been on gen. It is not comfortable, I am buying expensive fuel. These useless politicians enjoy 24/7 electricity. They cant even survive 10 minutes of heat. They get eveyrthing given to them for free, they will still loot, inflate prices of public project, divert public funds and still walk freely. They must be calling us mad people. They must be calling us crazy people. They must be calling us fools. At the end, they still want me to drop 25% of my income to them as tax.
I did a post on this asking same question. Why should the masses suffer for what the ruling class caused? Why?
The ruling class messed up Nigeria, but na we dey suffer while they enjoy.

Kushites:
TINUBU MUST RIG THAT ELECTION TO ENSURE THAT OBI DOES NOT BECOME PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.

YOU PEOPLE WILL NOT USE TRIBALISM TO INSTALL A PRESIDENT IN NIGERIA.

NEVER.

Are u kidding me? Brooooooooo, I dont care who rules Nigeria, I just dont want kids getting kidnapped. I wish u the Nigerian security situation for ur house hold, baba, since tribalism is what rules your world.
Oga, arent u worried about bandits in your lands? I never see people like some of u in this world o. Haaaa,

Counterigbolies:
Nigeria isn't trial n error

The same mistake u people made by shouting buhari cos u are tired of Jonathan won't repeat itself.

In the course of finding solution, I won't find explosion

I will rather continue with tinubu than bring in another old politician, if it's not tinubu then a new person

Tinubu is actually worse than Buhari
At least terrorist didnt spread to South West under Buhari, they are there now kidnapping school kids

Counterigbolies:
go n check my thread where I burst all these lies

U are a kid at defending obi, even people wey don dey since no fit talk

No wahala, this current president has failed, elect him out, if the next one fails, elect that one out too.
