Most people don't understand the mindset of Gen z. Social media have made them very enlighten. Look at how they changed government in Nepal.
They are not cowards. They do things so extreme either good or bad.

sweetkev:
Which Nigeria will explode when the people are cowards. Dey play

Lifestone:
How do you arrest your citizen who is protesting insecurity? These are distressed people and i thought responsible Leaders should know better.

helinues:
This op has dedicated his time to be posting about the unrest in Kwara state, not that he cares about the Kwara people but the unrest in the state is a vindication for anything to undermine this government.

Akalia:
You probably should had used the monies you expended providing these utilities for you and your family to japa.

That's what Dangote should do to break their power, promote the creation of a rival union, Las las them go humble .

When last did ASUU hold government to Ransome since government recognize CONUA

Apcnewrecruit:
As 2027 approaches, more of this would be seen to tarnish our Tinubu led government. But we ain't surprised

Any country depending on Natural resources will end up like Botswana and DR Congo when the resources lose their market value. Nigeria must focus on improving its manufacturing output

Lanretoye:

Gotocourt:
200M+ just like that, Omo , subsidy removal is a total failure 🤷🏿

sulaak:
If they cannot pay taxes, they should not expect anything. Nigerians are the only people that want security, healthcare and education without paying for it. Useless people.

WizardOfNG:
Good post and utterance from a progressive and well-meaning Nigerian. Very different to the post of the nuisances above yours.

Sure that is always a worry but we have never had a decent culture of proper collection of taxes from those who can and should pay it.

I feel we should begin from that point at least and then play our part challenging Government to spend what is collected judiciously.

What we have now is condemnable i.e a situation where tax collection is lax and virtually non-existent because Government is too focused on oil income to care about other legitimate avenues of raising money to use developing Nigeria. The principle of collecting tax efficiently is sacrosanct to all serious nations of the world.


A resource rich Nigeria has no business taxing citizens up to 25 percent of their income in a poverty capital of the world. That person u want to tax 25 percent of his income most likely has parents, siblings and friends who are poor and constantly depend n him of survival. That same person u want to tax 25 percent has fuel to buy for generator to generate electricity or install expensive solar, he has water to dig to generate water to use, he has to buy expensive water botttle to drink, he has expensive health care to care for for him self and those who rely on him. He has wack education to deal with or pay through the nose to get quality education. Nigeria has resource, money, fund generated from VAT alone is huge. The problem Nigeria has is corruption and tribalism based system.
With tribalism based system, no body will be able to challenging the politicians because everything is seen in the eyes of tribalism. Protest wont work.
Fuel subsizy was removed, allow Nigerians see the benefit of that, provide Nigerians with stable electricity, ensure free and fair election, decentralize the country so states can compete well, then introduce this type of tax, Nigerians will gladly pay.
For now, all money goes into funding the lifestyle of politicians, their families and side chicks. Pls, we wont pay. Just 4 years of service, politicians are taken care of for life. WTF!
If u dont blokc corruption, tax money will waste.
We have a very useless country where tribalism has finished us. As for me, I wont. I will use every legal means to stay awy from this until Nigeria starts fixing core issues I listed above. If I cant find my way around it, I leave the country and pay tax to a country that works well.

Burob:
Please go & help yourself, instead of looking 👀 for excuses.

helinues:
Those who missed basic economic class in secondary school would argue against this.

motymop:
i have a first hand experience on how they do it

if you are using a toll for instance, you dont pay cash, you use your phone and dail a code to pay, as you pass the toll, they will issue you the receipt.

They are actually very advanced when it comes to collecting tax.

every damn thing is taxed in that country.

DesChyko:
He who the gods want to kill, they first make mad.

I'm certain he didn't know when he let that slip.

What you would have done would certainly be what was seen before that led to the declaration in the first place.

A precedent has been laid; it is now a question of which state next and under which President?

Commentor:
To you, you think the tax is high, but it isn't enough for the kind of infrastructure you dream of.

Commentor:
Like America and every country does.

SonOfDSoil01:
how does your response correlate with the rubbish you stated in your mention? You said aside from Lagos the rest of Yoruba state is a ghost town and now I just cured your ignorance and explained to you that aside from Lagos l, Ogun is a thriving state with economic activities taking place and dangote is also about to open a sea port in Ogun and also oyo is a commercial state with economic activities taking place and I proved that with a stats that clearly shows how the economic activities is reflected on the growth of the state making it more viable than your unproductive region. But in Una usual manner you have deflected and talking about poverty and other irrelevant things.

So is there no poverty in Lagos and other developed climes? Just like I stated, aside from Lagos, the rest of Yoruba state are doing far better than your region and that’s evident in the trend of migration from east and other part of Nigeria to Lagos and other part of yorubaland and if you are in doubt, take a trip to Ibadan and see the loads of your migrants blodas, if it was ghost town like you stated then why are you economic migrants migrating to the place?

You lot just come online and make a blanket statement without facts and when you are being hit with fact you deflect and start with your incoherent gibberish

SonOfDSoil01:
indeed, the rest of Sw is ghost town and Ogun state is the most industrialised state in Nigeria boasting of economic activities while oyo state just the size of your unproductive region is far more developed and more economically viable than your 5plot of Potopoto land. Go to Ibadan and see the number of your migrate blodas and clear your ignorance…..continue deceiving yourself 😂😂😂
