Chai, see how Charles Soludo is educating these ignorant politicians for free. I knew that Dangote is a shrewd & cunning man but I never knew he was this wicked and ambitious, this guy wants to buy Nigeria at scrap value!!!

papaejima1:
I read Soludo's piece and I was like what the heck is wrong with our ruling class?
This is more like selling your only piece of land to send one of your seven children to primary school!
What then will you do when he gets to secondary level and other six enter primary school?
Armed robbery?

Ovamboland:
And how much is that compared to what their peers generate for projects and expenses, seems you are not getting it.
And the remaining 4 trillion will come from where?

Ovamboland:
So no fear since you're up to date with your taxes, that's the social contract to live and do business in this country. Your campaign is not to stop paying but for the others under the search light to start paying their fair share and stop cheating you.

Have you considered the statistics out there that Nigerian governments collect only 3- 4% of GDP as taxes while South Africa is approaching 20% that means for their smaller economy the government actually has more money to spend on roads, power, rails, health (and of course to loot as Zuma is now under fire to account $20 million which we easily find in our own former first lady's account but Nigerian youths are asking she be left alone) compared to the deluded giant of Africa.

Mind you South Africa also have gold and many other minerals but sane people designed their system not with intention to loot. Don't even start with 1st world countries collecting 30% plus of their huge GDP. A state in the US like New York spends $120 Billion per year on it's 24 million people while the whole FG cannot find less than $20 billion to spend on the entire country. New York is not getting mineral derivation it's income is mainly from tax.

Lagos state with a 'huge' budget of $3 billion for it's 20 million people is spending the same fund for probably the New York Fire department yet we expect railway, power, paved roads, waste management, efficient fire department, standard healthcare like American own with that money.
Don't both Lagos and New York buy technology products like steel, cement, generators, vehicles etc from the same market?

Seriously? A business will always struggle in the first 1-5 years depending on the nature of the business. You just need to have a credible financial plan, marketing strategy and be consistent. There's never a better time to launch a new business.

HoldenCaulfield:
Lets sell the whole country, give everyone his own share and part our ways.... Fair enough yes?

ba7man:
I'll create a public holiday where corrupt Politicians will be publicly stripped naked and flogged on NTA with the national anthem on repeat in the background.

Their supporters too will be lashed on tv till 4pm before cartoons and soap operas take over.

They'll be a repeat broadcast at night.

Thank you.

Our government steal from us by underdeveloping us and massively looting money meant for infrastructure for their selfish interest,yet they want us to be patriotic citizens.It can never work.I'll continue evading tax payment because I don't benefit from it.

We spoon feed the lazy zombies we call leaders with our hard earned money,yet they steal from us with impunity and make laws that protects them.

Goke7:
if am an offender, then am ready to face the music bruv. being a responsible citizen starts by paying my tax. Its only a thug that will disagree with you

Goke7:
So its good not to pay tax abi? Any business not paying tax does not deserve to be in operation. awoof de run belle.

Na mouth we get for naija, tax we no dey pay.

nyben4eva:
In sane countries,citizens pay their taxes without having double thoughts of how the money generated from taxes would be used,but here in Nigeria the case is different because our wayward leaders will use our hard earned money to enrich themselves and cronies thereby making big fools out of tax payers.

Give me a good reason why I should pay my tax when I don't have access to good roads,electricity,healthcare,security etc.Taxation in Nigeria remains a scam because the common man doesn't benefit from it.
