Companies are making profits, trust me. Nigerians are patronizing these companies in the hundreds of millions but rather than these funds go back into circulation in the form of taxes and be used to create employment, it stays back in the hands of the individuals and a few people who use it to suppress the voices of the rest... Take our oil marketers and petrol dealers for instance.. They make so much money that they can bribe government officials to keep the status quo and keep Nigerians buying petrol instead of having electricity.

which fact is that?buhari knew before he crave for this position then he made a promise which everyone is holding responsibility of his promise so keep quiet let him find way out to deal with the mess.

jcross19:
how did they pay you? Because I heard that ministry of information have the highest budget? I can see you are fighting for your own cake right? You are a big failure. Any man or nigerian that's blind to this situation on ground is an enemy and agent of failure. Pass administrations failed woefully by looting all the national treasures yes we know!!. And this present one tend to be a messiah to clean up the mess in a some months not even a year but now all we see here is chaos everywhere even the corruption multiplied in folds, still you e supporters are blind to the truth well is not your fault even mr satan has fans talkless of failure. With this type of mentality I see no future for nigeria. Shame.

tax is paid after gross profit, right? Which means your expenses were deducted, including losses from previous cycle etc... Tax is really an inevitable for government to function, I know government has been irresponsible but if people start paying taxes, trust me they'll become more intolerant to government's excesses and start being more active in politics and governance

socialmediaman:
Tax is inevitable throughout the world, companies have to be taxed for government to provide services, Nigeria can't move forward without reviewing its tax policies. Oil is not a sustainable only source of revenue anymore so taxation laws should be reviewed in my opinion...

DailyPost:
“When the price of crude oil was over one hundred dollars per barrel, Borno State was receiving around N4.5 billion per month. Today, oil price has grossly fallen down to less than forty dollars per barrel which represents about 80 percent fall in price. Oil is our main source of revenue as a country, so ordinarily, State like Borno should have received 20 percent of what we were receiving when oil was over 100 dollars. This month, we received N2.6 billion at time oil is below 40 dollars and this is more than 50 percent of what we were receiving at a time oil was over 100 dollars.
Our salary wage is N2.6 billion but we still have to be grateful to President Buhari because wallahi if not for his financial discipline, all of us here would be in soup by now. I am not here to play politics, I respect the fact that we are a mixture of people with different political affiliations. Our brother, the Governor of Gombe State is in PDP so I am not playing politics but we have a responsibility to explain situations to the public so that they understand the economic times we are in at the moment and Buhari has made things tolerable in the face of the bad situation” the Governor said amidst ovation at the gathering.

All these APC propaganda of Roads, Light, Saving flying everywhere. The administration had better start doing things that people can fell value. Because everyone is blasting PDP, APC thinks we are fully supporting them. You are not fooling anyone with all these pics and lie lie updates. KOWA is coming up.

Actually, taxation laws should be reviewed to enhance the revenue generation potentials of states. Some companies should also no longer be exempted from state and LG taxation as this kills IGR of states affected. The newly proposed Federal communication tax of 11% should be reduced to about 6% so that state and LG tax could be added to the communication tax to average it around 17 or 18%. Only then can states see the prospects of developing their states for investors to come in... In the US for instance, the Federal wireless communication tax is about 5.8% while State-Local tax is about 11.2%. This makes the states earn money for wireless communication business activated or used within their jurisdiction.

One of the most celebrated political jesters of our time.... He was lucky to govern Lagos State (a stupendously rich State in Nigeria) hence, his incompetencies would have long be exposed for all to see. He is always right, competent, brilliant, knows all, can proffer solutions in his own eyes yet we all (those with inner eyes) know that Fashole is one big scammer in politics with little success that does not commensurate with the funds at his disposal while head of Lagos affairs for 8 full years.... Now fast forward to now, his bogus speeches about power in 2014 against the Jonathan government is about to start haunting this over hyped "class captain of mediocre Governors" in Nigeria. Hold Fashola responsible for epileptic power supply

“In 16 years, hundreds of billions of naira had been spent on power supply and we cannot switch on electricity for the entire country. But in seven years, we (Lagos State Government) have created four plants, it showed that something is missing. Unless you vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC to change an inefficient government, it is going to be difficult to have electricity.

This is a government program by 'Buhari and APC'.

The January 15, 1966 coup has been erroneously declared and described as an Igbo coup.

While the tribal make up of the Jan 15 coup does not bear the hallmark to one single tribe as there where Yoruba and Hausa officers and rank and file involved in the planning and execution of the coup, the backlash of the jan 15 coup led to genocidal attacks on igbos living in the north.


Now if we consider the Dimka coup of 1976 on the murtala administration you will find one striking characteristic in terms of the make up of the coup plotters who were mainly drawn from the Anges tribe from Platuea state and also from other middle belt Christian tribes.


So why was there no retaliatory pogroms by the Hausa Fulani on the Anges tribe and the Christian middle belt on the murder of Murtala by Dimka and his fellow conspirators?
