nedu666:
You see why I said you are delusional. You said 10-20m is not a lot of money in Nigeria. I am telling you that if millions of Nigerians are making that amount where are they keeping their money because its definitely not in the bank. A country were sale of brand new cars is still in tens of thousands definitely does not show millions make 20 m a year

you are a moroon anyways....
i remember you from other threads....

you are always talkin rubbish....

emperor4love:
Wetin una politician de loot yearly pass una budget, so stop comparing us with this countries because dem utilise there own and is been seen by people

thats why you igbos would risk your lifes for money although you know when caught it could cost you your life....
you still risk it....

no amount of money can make me risk my life....

noo thank you....
i rather die poor and in peace....

casualobserver:
You are the one who is delusional. The vast majority of the Nigerian economy is in the informal sector.

Don’t underestimate people because they are not wearing a suit going to office.

10-20m a year is not a lot of money. You will be shocked how much these people make.

they like to always show off thats why they cant believe that others can do well too without showin off....

its a igbo thing showin off....
my igbo girlfriend is the same way too....

she always want to show off that she is not doing bad....

PepeXKermit:
I have never seen anyone who does well, make reasonable amount of comfortable money get angry that people who are citizens in same country move from location to location. My brother prove me wrong that you earn more than 100k a month, i will double your monthly income to any account of your choosing....

....
what are you are talking about....??

stay in your region if you are doing soo well....!!

wetin be wahala sef....??
why would anybody move away from where they are doing well go land in a place where they are not doing well....??

does that even make sense to you....

Ekugbeh:
I pay tax on clothes, top ups, on electricity, bank transactions, etc.
Stop showcasing your crass ignorance. Dúmb Yoruba tóut

are you here to insult everybody or to discuss issues....

casualobserver:
Read what I wrote again. I never said tax the poor. I specifically said many times the poor have no money to give. Is it people you are giving 25,000 monthly conditional cash transfer you want to tax? Which tax…from the CCt you are giving them that is barely enough to survive?

There are millions of self employed people who make 10-20m a year for example that pay no taxes or pay token taxes. If you are making that amount of money, your tax should be between 2m and 4m. If you check the tax clearance if these people you will see 50k if you are lucky. These people are easy to identify by doing a BVN query on the database.

and you dont understand me either....western nations are scared to tax people that have money too much because they could leave the country....

Whitecoal711:
Our real budget is with our politicians and their side Chicks

bwahaha....fear side chicks....luggard had a side chick too....and the side chick named your area....

kiki....
white bitchess....

power of between the legs....

Ekugbeh:
A Fed airport, Fed seaport, most govt ministry offices and multinational oil company offices are in Lagos why wouldn't I visit Lagos. Some of you Yorubas are just dúmb

why are they leavin your region to start with....??

am sure you dont even ask yourself that question....

casualobserver:
Trump wasn’t scared to tax the rich, the republicans have always been a party of low taxes…it is ideological. And there is a difference between taxing people who already pay taxes more and targeting people who don’t pay.

you mean those that cant pay....??
wetin you wan pay when you dont have....

na market women sellin fish you wan tax....??
how much you wan tax such people....??

or is it poor people sellin gala and other substandard stuffs on highways you wan tax....??
how much....??

the rich will always find a way to bypass your taxes....they pay people to find out those loopholes....

the only way out is for nigeria to produce more and rely less on imports....

casualobserver:
There is an economics to tax collection.

They can’t target the poor because they have little to give if any, for the efforts/overheads required to get the tax out of them. It is the self employed of which there are many that don’t pay their fair share of taxes. The guy who sells spare parts that you are hailing for buildings big house is not a poor man and I can bet you he does not pay the right amount of taxes. The man who deals in haulage, the wholesale food seller, the government contractor, the landlord with multiple properties collecting rent, etc etc etc….most of these people only pay token taxes and many of them are very well off. A lot of them are richer than the salaried workers who bear the brunt of our tax burden because they are deducted at source.

bros,its more complicated than you think....trump was scared to tax the rich more in america because he thinks its the rich that give jobs to the poor....

DeepSight:
Besides they sent Zuma to Jail. Which Nigerian president can even be investigated, not to speak of jailed.

corruption still remains in south africa....even worsened sef....


zumas followers even rioted sef....

DeepSight:
Please I mean no offense oh, so try to take none - but how old are you? Because I dont know if you know much of our country. I dont know if you know, for example, how we budget for certain pieces of major infrastructure every year, and leave them untouched. There are many I can point out to you which have been funded for over twenty years consistently and never been touched. What is that if not black magic. That's why I asked how old you are. If the question offends you, please let me translate it to how long you have been following political economics in Nigeria. That's a better way to phrase it.

Dear friend, if you understand the ruthlessness of our corruption and its depth and scale, you would know that corruption has always been our biggest problem. If you like earn one trillion dollars, it will disappear in Nigeria, I guarantee you.

i dont agree with you on this....
corruption is in every country in the world....but to think nigerias problem is only corruption is makin it look too simple....

BabaAduras:
See how parochial your thinking is. So it is only Buhari and Tinubu the messed the country up? Because of political blindness, you have developed selective memory and cannot think logically.

You cannot understand that the problem of Nigeria started when Agunyi Ironsi cancelled the prosperous regional governments and concentrated power and economy at the center. That singular action, killed all the regional bases of industrialization (Palm Kernel in the West, Groundnut and Leather in the North, Coal mining in the East).

This was followed by recklessness Gowon/Awolowo era of "our problem is not how to make money but how to spend it" coupled with the hyper-inflation that followed "Udoji Allowance."

Muritala and Obj just followed Gowon/Awolowo economic blueprint and handed power to the super looting era of Shehu Shagari.

From then to date, the only government that tried to change the trend was GMB/Idiagbon. Unfortunately, Nigerians were not ready to make the necessary sacrifices to make it work. So the government did not last. It was toppled by the smiling super-looter IBB. All the governments we have had since then to date are just super-looters with no plan nor the boldness to drive necessary change that would resulted in the nations prosperity.

The hope is that BAT can sustain the bold initiatives he has started to reverse our fortunes. That is the waiting game. It is simply too early now to see a sudden reverse in fortune of an economy that has been damaged and battered for over a period of close to 55 years.

I must say, people like you who cannot look back to understand the problems, but reason and make comments from political/ethnical/tribal point of view are not helping the matter at all.

they just want you to vote who they like....thats all....
they dont realy look at the real issues....

Kukutenla:
This one has started making excuses for criminals
How much are you been paid to do this?

paid to do what....??

nigeria is not a rich country....period....
the sooner you realize that the better for you....

you go fight other nigerians tire....

casualobserver:
That’s the real problem. I am sure 90% of those in the National Assembly do not pay their fair share of taxes. I remmember during confirmation Akpabio was shocked when he saw the tax clearance of Audu from Kogi. Clearly he wasn’t use to his fellow politicians paying their true taxes. But he is a minority.

I don’t know how you can declare assets to CCB and they won’t ask where is your tax paid commensurate with this level of wealth. In other countries if you have money and you haven’t paid taxes you live a low profile so the tax man doesn’t target you.

i tell you....
soo,suggestin taxin more will only hit the poor much harder in nigeria....

salem1996:
Don't bother advising them sir, most people here are too daft to understand anything as long as it goes against them.

You compare those budgets and how far those countries have gone ahead then you'll realized that Nigeria doesn't even derseve 1b dollar as budget because at the end it's going into pockets not national investment

diezani was not corrupt....she was just savin the money for una....

stella was not stealin,she was just lookin for the money for you....
dasuki did nothing wrong,its our paranoia....

we don hear....

I disagree with you if you check the owner of the private universities in Nigeria it is own by an individual and a university could scoop billions of naira and who are the owners of this universities ex- president,senators, public servants, there's abundance of what you can think of in Nigeria it's just black minds that is our problem, if only refineries can work and agriculture can work, infrastructure can work, power can work and industries can retrieve we will be good.

its not only about votin the right president....

its about the system....
if you cant find somebody that will force the ol system to change then it will not matter who you vote....
things will remain the same....
for example....why is it that states that produce oyel can only keep 13%....??

shouldnt it be the other way around....??
its the federal goverment that should be gettin 13% and the oyel producin states keep the rest....
but try to suggest that and see how fight will start....

casualobserver:
We can double our tax revenues without the poor. The people who really pay taxes in this country and Salaried workers and companies. Most self employed do not pay their fair share of taxes. There are also a lot of taxes that are not being paid. Just see how much Wike raised in Abuja in 1 month when he asked Abuja. Residents to pay their ground rents. There are many leakages all over the place without targeting the poor. In most countries the rich pay 80% of the taxes. In Nigeria, the rich and the middle class do not pay the right amount of taxes.

true....

the problem is how you wan enforce it that the money realy land in federal account....

nigerians have turned bribin themselves out of situations a normal thing....

casualobserver:
I agree 100% it is awful. South Africa spends more on education than our entire federal budget.

Export only affects forex and hence currency value it makes no real difference to revenues. Our gdp is larger than SA. The redesign they have a higher budget is because they collect more taxes. If we collected more taxes even without exporting we would have more revenue and higher budget.

you wan ask for more tax from nigerians....??

good night with that....
you will only end up taxin only the poor finish....

okeysoninv:
your contradicting yourself . Algeria doesn't produce more oil than Nigeria. nigeria is largest producer of crude oil in Africa.

While being the main oil producer in Africa, Nigeria was also the largest crude oil exporter in the continent. The country sold nearly 1.6 million barrels of oil daily to the international market in 2021

Catapault:
JUST AS YOU WOULD BE IF YOU GOT INTO OFFICE.

You all form Angel Gabriel until you find yourself in public office.

Keep pointing fingers over the pittance of a budget instead of finding ways to raise national income.

they are very funny....

nedu666:
Nigeria is not rich but every president, vp, minister, gov, deputy gov, commissioners, senator, reps, house of assembly, perm sec, heads of para military, heads of gov agency at federal and state level plus family members and friends are all rich yet Nigeria is poor

chaii....you dont get it....
