Next to the Northerners are the South westerners. Infact I think they are gradually taking over from the former when it comes to running down this entity called Nigerian. Although the region has over the years produced leaders and technocrats that have contributed positively to the development of various sectors of the Nigerian economy, its current crops of leaders are just pathetic.

The likes of Iyabo Obasanjo, Patricia Etteh, Prof Grant, prof Aborisade, Fani Kayode etc are just disgraceful

Thank God for the Easterns that really working hard at pushing the country forward, Iweala, Ekwensili, Dora, Utomi etc. I think its time we give the Ibos a chance at ruling this country, maybe they might be able to get us out of the dungeon the North and it south western counterpart have dragged us into.

moderator kindly move to the joke section, it is taking unneccessary space

Wish the young man could actually make the presidential seat, maybe the country might just start heading in the right direction

We say change the policies, u re heating up the polity with hot grammar, crap i say, freaking crap.


With all these verbose grammar, how come the FOI bill has not been passed. please kick the guy out and get someone one is able to speak in simple terms but effectively.

Painful truth.

At the risk of being tagged a tribalist, I would like to submit, without mincing words, that the North controls every non-productive, non-competive, non-valuing adding sector of our economy. Every sector that takes more than it gives, that encourages federal character at the expense of right qualification, that values the few over the many, that manipulates and extorts and supports corruption is controlled by the North.

Sorry if I am being politically incorrect. Am not saying the other areas are better, but this just the obvious truth.

what's driving the price down, reduction in demand. Then the solution is simple, OPEC cuts production, price skyrockets, loba tan. For now we ll survive but it's high time we start diversifying.

Just ignore them. Most of them dont even know their roots.

My dear no one is saying don't commend good things. We re just saying let mediocres stop hailing complacency.

Deepzone

C what u ve caused. See the aspersion being cast on my beuatiful sisters. Am gonna get u for this. And when i do there would be no mercy for you (lol).

Wish i had buttons on pc for punching peeps online. Say for instance cntrl alt punch, by now alot of u folks would have been blinded.

May be u dont listen to the radio. I believe the state govt is already doing enough in terms of orientation and enlightenment. I ve heard at least 2 radio gingos sensitising people on need to pay taxes and how to pay. Nigerians are just stiffnecked and like cheating.

Thanks for putting forward a good arguement on behalf of the traders, sure someone somewhere would have noticed what u pointed and would probably point it out to the government and perhaps our dearest governor would be more tactful next time.

Got to go to bed, so i can wake up early tomorrow catch a ride to work earn my wage for the day and pay my tax.

Russia started its space programme when it was still a world power and could conveniently feed its masses. So please that analogy wont fly, try something else.

Why was the entire market shut down? guess they were all in default.

Damola

Pls for the sake of posterity u need to change ur attitude. Tax avoidance is a nefarious act that should be condemned by all. Pls ensure that ur parents are in full compliance with the law and that when u start working u dont default urself.

And pls study hard, so we can have one more deligent and patrotic Lagosian.

Deepzone

Now u re really getting on my nerves.

no he is not, tell me anything outstanding about the guy. When the likes of Achebe, Soyinka, Emegwali etc talk then one should listen. Abeg say something better.,

Fashola's next stop should be all this bank workers not paying their PAYE taxes in full, then all those traders not paying shishi. Everbody should his/her tax in the right amount.

They can pay taxes yet they can buy beer and spray money in parties.

Damola, wish i had ur details, am sure u re due for a tax audit. We wont close ur shop, would simply jail u.

simply a case of a mediocre applauding a ,

OMG, dark abyss.

The various tax acts are very clear on the punishment for tax payment default. Fashola is just being considerate and lenient. These guys should be jailed for cheating the government, for cheating u and i. They make a whole lot and pay nothing, and yet a poor employee like myself is forced to pay so much very month as tax. I know a lot of young men that pay monthly taxes in excess of N100k and yet they earn less than N1m monthly. These 'shyllock traders' make tens of millions monthly and dont pay a dime and u re playing their advocate. Hope u know aiding a crime is a criminal offense in itself.

here we go again, mortgaging our future for space toys that ll crash in less than 2 yrs.

The seller is also the one lending us the money to buy. At this rate, China would owe the whole country. Anyway that's what u get when u make cattle rearers, amala eaters and spare-part traders ur policy formulators.

Damola

Kindly go to bed.

Aunty moti wa e. To ba tu ta abuku lu state mi, ma deal pelu e gidigan ni. Si o o o.

@Damola

In other countries u get jailed for tax evasion. Fash was really lenient.

Way to go Fash. U cant enjoy BRT, enjoy beautiful environment and not pay tax. Computer Village should be a major revenue earner for the state, but alas, the reverse is the case.

Pls lets us all be faithful in the payment of our state. Eko oni baje o.

P.S I no get choice my employer dey deduct mine constantly and dey remitt am passe passe.

Internet gba ole o gba ole.

Nigeria1, how on God's earth would joining Benin republic benefit us. Bloody nonsense.

Tonimax

please find something better to do.


Fellow Nairalanders

Beware of 419ners, this is how it starts. Aboro laun so fomo luabi, to ba denu e a dodidin.

baba ni fashola. Fashola for president. I love that man.

the richest man:

- uses the biggest car, the biggest generator and emits the largest amount of CO2
- leaves in the biggest house with dozens of bathrooms and even swimming pools wasting H2O
- uses the largest amount of polythene products and other environmentally unsafe products

Left to me the rich are not paying enough, especially in an economy like ours. Find out how much Dangote pays as tax and u would get the shock of your life. This amount compared with the amount of pollution poured out by his factories and the amount of resources utilised to fund his rich man's appetite.

Papabrowne

Asking people not to pay their taxes is criminal. It is inciting people against the government.

The article is quite insightful, very interesting and also truthful. However, the author forgot to tell us that the rich man uses the biggest chunk of the natural resources available in the committee, creates the most waste and needs the most social infrastructure.

he that is down need fear no fall.
