Hmmn but by which methods may higher tax-paying disenfranchised and oppressed citizens in Nigeria be incentivized to hold their deliberately deaf Govt more accountable.

They've gone through SERAP, BUDGIT, TRACKA.NG on Twitter. They've shouted on TV/Radio after seeing public service holders loading monies into Agbada on live video, nothing came of it.
Even taking to the streets and dying by the droves to protest basic freedoms like right to safety yet the Govt chose to lie and gaslight.
How do they hold such a Govt up to being transparent, accountable and fiscally responsible while leaking more funds to tax which will most likely get dissipated on politicians' lusts?

Raydos:
Apart from patching roads and building useless bridges where it's not even needed, What other things do they politicians see as development?

Imagine having this kind of cool streets in Nigeria with Good drainage system and not this open gutters we have everywhere??

Why can't black people think out of the BOX??

Korllami007:


You want someone earning 30k per month to be paying 70000k in tax per month. Someone hawking okro, you want that person to be paying 70000k in taxes.

Oga, what is your post in IRS make we know? Stop disguising.

donestk:
I doubt this is namibia

Deceptionlove:

No be Abule-Egba Area be this??

XaintJoel20:


Is this Windhoek, Namibia?

Raydos:
Just take a look at this!!

Nigeria leaders both past and present should be killed by hanging, Those that are dead should be brought out and re-kill properly

Raydos:
Looks like the black people's brain is so fūçked up that we can't think of anything else than corruption

We can't even boast of any Successful black nation

tsdarkside:

abia is a case....very strange governor they have their....

babasolution:

tsdarkside:

Raydos:
Even if I can't enjoy this, at least let my children enjoy this kind of world class Infrastructure in Africa!!

Barcelona, Spain

PhiliptheArab:


Thanks for using fowl language...

But to answer your question

Namibia

GDP per capita :5,931.45 USD

Nigeria

GDP per capits 2250 USD


also

Namibia

tAX TO gdp ratio 29.6%

Nigeria

5.8%



We are poorer than Namibia and have less income than Namibia.


Gambia has a samller population plus they also have lots of bad roads.

jajeri3216:


Why 10 billion?

My guess , we can't build it ourselves, hence borrowed capital and expertise.

Chinese trains are already breaking down, more roi for them.

If we want to be honest our lack of expertise is more damning than the lack of funding.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Why won't you like it when you celebrate mediocrity. Lagos is rated as one of the worst cities in the world.

babasolution:


Yes,leave us with our mediocrity, go to Netherlands and enjoy their high standards,leave us alone

Ugosample:
Because Nigerians and Africans in general dont have the mental capacity to build and sustain a functioning society

Even black south Africans are not left out
I see some of them running their mouth here

But you guys are just as useless as the rest of us on this continent
The country is decaying under your leadership
Especially that fo.ol called Zuma.

SA with the rampant crime, poverty, highest inequality, highest youth unemployment and every thing bad
Yet you guys have the mouth to talk down on anybody lol


Black people are mentally incapable as a collective fo build and sustain functioning societies

Period

RuudVanNisteroy:

Lets us start with emulating Namibia,Botwana and South Africa before we attempt Asian,European and North American countries.

olaboy1:


When I find the paper I did some calculations on last year I will break it down here. The $10b will give us around 50-70% of our energy need if managed very well. No we can’t build it ourselves for now and nothing to be ashamed of. Samsung and Siemens can partner together to deploy and optimize our energy sector, and they can gradually train our graduates hands on.
IMPORTANT: We must make use of two or three companies from different regions just in case war breaks out in any of the regions, so we don’t stay in blackout just because they are unable to procure spare parts from the trouble region...you feel me 30%/30%/40%

Raydos:
Ordinary Capetown in South Africa beat every city in Nigeria hand down!!

mjconcept:


I do not agree with you on this. The great ancient kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, Bornu, Benin, etc are built by who? The answer to the above question will definitely help in analysing what went wrong down the lane.

Yenefer:
Because just like fingers are different. Countries are also different they maybe rich and develop now,. Nigeria will also rise and develop. they may also fall

Ifeoluwav:
Wow see how Africans are praising the most brutal, destructive, cunning race of people on earth. The people that turned the world upside down.
Africans even bash each other for this.

Truly "white supremacy has taught Africans to defend white supremacy"
