Cut the crap! The person who paid 78,000 naira last year, has his income increased by 400% for him to suddenly be slammed with a bill of almost 400,000 naira?? Do they expect such a person to steal to pay that bill? Why are you and your governor so heartless?

The real oppressor is this Lagos state govt, that is insensitive to the plight of Lagosians. Do Lagosians have an inexhaustible supply of funds? Do you even know how many people have lost their jobs or source of income, in the past one year? Did people vote Ambode into Alausa, so that he could exploit them?

LOL... You don't get to determine or say or decree that what you earn, or your current financial state, should determine what you pay as tax on the property you own, otherwise even billionaires would claim they're currently not earning as much as they think they should be earning.

But, I can see you're very angry, so I beg to excuse myself from this argument as far as you're concerned, at least for now.

not bad...


but Ambode should make the increment gradual... say 0.2% added every 5 years & those who are able to pay regularly for 5 years will have a exempt for 1 year & those that pay up to 5 years in advance get 1 year exempt & a discount...


it is hoped that within that time, the PPP of people in the area would also have risen to accommodate the additional increase & people are able to plan better...

It is this kind of posture by people like you, that allow governors and elected officials get away with murder, and criminal performance. Is there any section of the constitution or the law, that allows govt to impose arbitrary taxes unduly without any regard for the people? This lack of sensitivity to the plight of the people, is what causes demonstrations, riots and outright defiance to govt. Since you are one of Ambode's sycophants, please take this message to him: "He was not elected to impoverish Lagosians, with incessant price hikes of taxes."

This is WICKED

Are you saying 9,000 is too much for owner occupiers house that worth 20m? Or the owner occupier and partly rented house that worth 20m to pay 30k? Let us begin to think positively

And the funny thing is that most of these taxes ans levies are used to pay monstrous salaries and fund government expenditure. Little on capital projects.

Dis na halftruth joor. Why dem no explain penalty too

This looks like a total rip off

Bravo!!!

An average Nigerian is naturally GREEDY, we always on the receiving end(we call on the government to build roads, clear gutters and sweep the dirty streets and house corners, RUBBISH!!!), and that's why Nigeria is still underdeveloped!
Go to other develop countries, you pay charges on each car, house you have! That's why an average citizen of those countries, have only one house or car, not that they lack money in acquiring more, but the advances in charge which is tantamount to liability cost!!

We Must Grow!

Ambode, fire on, do your best!

Well, you are right that in foreign countries, you pay for everything but thats because they provide everything. Here they collect and you get nothing...

Who valued the house at 20 million? And have you met any landlord whose house is worth 20 million, coming online to tell you he was given an LUC charge of 9,000 to pay? Why do you guys swallow everything govt says or does, when experience has shown that the greatest proponents of propaganda, are people in govt?

its much cos the same owner of a house is being tax from his business or job that he does...

Secondly why engage the services of a private firm? What is the job of Lirs? The guys u hiring will not do the job for free... who bares the cost? All costs are shifted to the citizens...
It's unfair...
