Gerrard59: Apt!
It's the reason why there are less F500 companies in Sweden or Norway compared to the US or Japan even on per capita basis.
However, I must say that overall, Nigerians pay low taxes than their counterparts in other parts of the world. I saw a tweet comparing tax rates across the world and to be honest, even as a free market proponent and an avowed supporter of low taxes for individuals, I was stunned by our personal income tax rate compared to other countries. Although, that of CIT is high, it's fairly OK compared to other nations. My issue with this statement is that these taxes aren't used judiciously and even if so, they are spent on inflated projects. Regarding the analogy that higher taxes = increased development and/or a more vocal civil society, I don't see that in Lagos or Akwa Ibom.
Lest I forget:
- Ogbeni Rauf is a low budget Karl Marx. - NO rich person will pay any tax. Such an individual will simply contact some of the best accountants, lawyers, real estate agents etc and japa either investments or self to low taxed environments. I agree that we pay lower tax than we should and I am of the opinion that everyone both the rich and poor should be taxed proportionally. The reason I say this is because, there is tyranny in Nigeria politics against the masses and two kinds of people help this tyranny work. 1) The people who support it because it favour their religion or ethnicity. 2) The people who do nothing about it. This is where the majority lies and this can be proven by the statistics that show we are one of the poorest nations in the world yet the happiest. I remember one politician said that not greater than 100, 000 people cared about Sowores detention and one influential person on tweeter said let us prove this politician wrong by getting 100,000 retweets. He never got up to that amount and I can assure you that more than 100,000 people saw that tweet. If we tax people who think in terms of religion and ethnicity they will start considering maybe we need good leaders who can put their money to good use. If we tax people who do not care about who is in government and who is not, they will start caring about Nigerian Politics. You can't tell me that if the government takes 20% off your salary, you wouldn't care what they did with it. You can't take that much money off my salary and I would have bad road or still be in traffic or be affected by inflation due to excessive borrowing. I think Nigerians need to feel enough pain that exceeds their threshold so they can react. I must also say that there might be this genetic or cultural factor that makes us to suffer and smile regardless of the condition. If that is the case, then we are irredeemable. I wonder how blacks were slaves for 400 years, especially those who were not born into it. If I have ever seen freedom with my own eyes, forcing me to be a slave will be a suicide mission. I would rather die that be in chains with no hope in sight. |

This guy is brainwashed by the socialist movement in America. Socialism has never worked and will never work, these are the reasons.
1) The human spirit requires huge incentives to have huge motivations and make huge innovations. If you make extreme hardwork less lucrative your country will stop moving forward.
2) There is a mass stupidity that depicts that rich people have cash stashed somewhere in the bank, this is false. The rich have most of their wealth in assets and not cash, to include things such as wealth tax is useless because you will have to liquidate their assets and it will hurt the economy in the long run because if they do not have much equity, they wouldn’t not be motivated to make innovations.
3) Socialism has never worked in history.
4) The more the rich is taxed, the more the poor suffer. The rich will reduce salaries to stay rich or employ less people. You can’t tell a man running a business how much he should make, can you?
The ideal thing to do is to create a middle class to pay the poor and serve the rich. This middle class should run Small and Medium Enterprises. You can only do this by creating a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. For crying out loud we import pencils and toothpicks, this is the job of the middle class. |

imiski: I stopped taking feminist seriously when I met my landlords wife. Outside she is a feminist and women advocate fighting for women world wide, but inside house she be like foreign furniture them they couple her every day. Updated: nor be say landlord dey beat am oh. But she submissive dieeeee!  There are feminists and there are Narcissists and sociopaths hiding under the umbrella of feminism. Bitter women who want to control men but are not smart enough so they hide under the name of feminism to dish out their hate. That being said, there is nothing wrong with being a feminist but any toxic person who attacks men just to feel better about her own self is a sociopath and should be called out. |

KosiGee: There’s a difference between being ignorant and being a liar. I can confidently say that this woman doesn’t know the difference between pellets and bullets.
Let’s be honest, how many people here know what shotguns? How many people here know the type of projectiles used in shotguns, air rifles and assault weapons like AK47s??
Oga, cut her some slack. Most people would use the term ‘bullets’ for those weapons.
Yes there are lots of ‘I too know’ follow follow people here trying to sound smart. You shouldn't confidently say anything, most social media influencers are Narcissistic and would do anything to get attention. There is very little odds her doctors didn't tell her it was shrapnel or you think she just knew there are 10 of them by touching herself? I feel this was staged or she is telling a big lie to aggravate the situation because she said she was attacked for 30mins. If they are assassins like she called it and they had 30 mins then they are assassins that didn't intend to kill her which would be ironical right? This right here is either a movie or some largely extrapolated event. She should say the truth. |

KosiGee: Those are pellets from a shotgun. Yes she can call them bullets. It doesn’t really make much difference.
Whoever did that meant to kill her and it’s a shame that people above were mocking and calling this staged act. Do you have any idea what any of those pellets could do to her if they pierced the skull and hit the brain??
So of you need to grow up. I’m not a fan of this woman, don’t know much about her but if those were real radiograph of her, she would’ve been the luckiest person this period of the year.
Whoever was responsible for that meant to shatter her skull. She cannot call pellets or shrapnels a bullet. It is not the same thing. Why do you people have to emotionally make a mess of logic everytime? Obviously it was intended that she died but must Nigerians lie to aggravate a situation, to what end I ask? To make us feel more sorry for her? Please call things as it is, if 10 bullets actually hit her and 2 lodged close to her eyes she will be dead. PERIOD. |
