Misterone: U hold leaders to ransom becus they are paid to provide leadership. U cant hold the ordinary man on the street to ransom becus he is not getting paid. Our leaders are among the highest paid on earth and they are paid to provide us with basic things. If those who are paid to their job did it, there wont be boko haram boys or kanu boys as u said. We can never ever except the leaders. They intentionally refused to educate the poeple so that they will always have tools. |

Princedapace: While you make some good points, are you NOT Nigerian? Why do Nigerians think it’s other people’s job to fix Nigeria for them to come and enjoy? Sure, our government is mostly terrible… But NO advanced nation has ever been developed solely by its government. Ultimately, PEOPLE build nations. Even in the US (where I grew up), people still die of snakebites until today… Just as Eriksen (the Danish player) was saved on the pitch, Vivian-Foe died on the pitch in FRANCE (and there are others). There are THOUSANDS of people who die of sudden cardiac arrest EVERY DAY in the West… It’s MISGUIDED to treat one high-profile case as the norm (most crucial is a quick response - even CPR, which most Nigerians don’t know). Again, we have generally poor leadership (but of course they were like us before they became “leaders”)… But ultimately Nigeria’s present (and future) state is the culmination of the varying actions of ALL Nigerians (by commission or omission)! > 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Princedapace: PS: Btw, I noticed your reference to (indirect) VAR taxes, instead of direct (income, corporate or other direct taxes). Yet, it sounds as if your doing pretty well materially (private estate, etc.). Without presumption or prejudice (and assuming that you actually and timely pay all of your due taxes), the propensity of the average Nigerian to EVADE taxes is one of the contributing factors for the paucity of public services. The fact is that Nigeria reportedly has the LOWEST tax to GDP ratio in all of Africa (yes, even lower than many very poor African nations) speaks volumes. The reality is that, outside of the civil service and those subject to PAYE withholding taxes, the greater majority of income-earning Nigerians (in formal and informal employment or self-employment) ACTIVELY EVADE paying their due taxes or notoriously underpay (when/if they pay at all) - and yet everyone seems to expect world-class public services. Of course, a big reason is the Culture of Entitlement cultivated by the oil windfall that the overwhelming majority of Nigerians do not contribute to in any way at all! I am well aware that many Nigerians would argue that they do (or should) not pay taxes because there is little or no evidence of tax revenues being put to good use or that said revenues are more than likely to be embezzled, but such an argument only renders the citizens just as culpable the rulers (I am loathe to refer to these lot as actual leaders). Every nation/society is a social construct built upon the basic premise of rights and responsibilities, perhaps best manifested the so-called “social contract” between the government and the governed. But every contract requires “consideration” - which means that you have to provide something to get something in return. Accordingly, when citizens fail to pay timely and fully pay their due taxes, it is not only a moral failing in the basic tenets of citizenship (those taxes can be likened to equity investment in the nation, from which citizens expect some form of returns) but also a more legalistic failure to uphold one’s obligations under the “social contract” - and consequently strips such derelict citizens of any (moral or other) right to complain. Unfortunately, so many Nigerians have this rather weird notion of citizenship, whereunder citizens enjoy only rights but do not bear commensurate responsibilities. Yet, as with most of human experience, one most often gets what one pays for - and that’s if you’re lucky! Furthermore, Nigerians have a rather grave misconception of the resources available to the state (even if politicians did not steal a significant portion of public resources). Just for perspective, the US expended over $4 trillion just on healthcare last year (2020) and yet could not guarantee access to healthcare (or adequate and affordable healthcare) to all of its citizens - including to many actual taxpayers! Accordingly, even if Nigeria spent every single cent it earned from oil and gas sales ($32.6 billion in 2018, even before the pandemic decimated revenues in 2020, and for perspective Kuwait made $60.7 billion same year with a population of only 1 million nationals) solely on healthcare and neglected everything else, the government still wouldn’t have anywhere near the revenues to provide the sort of world-class healthcare across the nation and across all strata of society (even if the politicians did not steal a penny). While fully cognizant of the gross failures of governments in Nigeria, it is sometimes irritating that Nigerians often act as if they have absolutely no agency in their own fortune (or perhaps more accurately, misfortune) - even discounting that the poorest Nigerians are often the most fervent supporters/voters of “Sai Baba” and the political elite, and even the supposedly educated class and/or middle-class will fanatically defend their “own” (defined by tribal, religious or such other base or primordial affiliation) in almost all circumstances (including corruption charges). Yet, every single CHALLENGE in our nation is also an OPPORTUNITY - and as life experience has amply illustrated, the most successful people and organizations are those who address or otherwise help solve challenges. In Nigeria, our eyes are too clouded with the torrent of tears from our wailing about our challenges that we fail to see opportunities arising therefrom. With all due respect, the saying that every society DESERVES the leadership it gets couldn’t be more aptly demonstrated than in Nigeria! > 2 Likes 2 Shares |

9jaRealist: There is no company that is registered in Nigeria that their staff dont pay tax and still pay VAT. When I worked as a CCR, my tax got deducted from my salary before it got to my account. That is the story of working class Nigerians. I do not work under Nigeria's economy. My clients are abroad and my tax are deducted there becus they are the ones who pay me. When I use the money in Nigeria's economy, I pay my tax as well. So, Nigerians pay tax. The ones they pay, govt should use them. Govt loot bro. Nigerian politicians owe master art properties in Dubai,. that is where our money goes. Our oil money, our sweat, these men loot them. We cant talk becus we run a st*pid system of govt that has placed ethnic politics above proper governance. This will continue until we change and run a proper system. Many people who earn 30k naira as miinimum wage, by the time the salary gest to them after various tax cuts, they will be getting around 26k Many people who have shops pay all sorts of tax and levies. I can never ever defend Nigeria politicians becus they have failed. Look at the billions spent in electricity so far. Go and read. How much and what is the evidence? We run a useless system of govt that makes politicians to escape with their poor governance and until we fix them, we are going no where,. In 50 years to come, Nigerians will still be on nairaland talking about all these basic things such as water, roads, electricity, health care, etc. If we dont work on the useless political system. |

9jaRealist: The instances u have given can never change the fact that Nigeria has terrible health care system. The USA govt had to issue out warning to her citizens in Nigeria to use health care facilities in USA, Europe or South Africa and avoid Nigeria's health care system. That release was made last year. Nigeria's health care system is terrible. Yes, poeple change nations. We have been shouting that our political system can never allow us to grow, no body wana hear. If u read the history of Nigeria, u will know that Nigerians have been fighting and a fighting nation can never win. We keep fighting politically becus we are not one. The best we can do is to run a system that grants nations within Nigeria full control. That way, varrious nations within Nigeria can hold their leaders accountable. I cant hold my governor accountable for not building international airport when such lincence comes from Abuja and they play ethnic politics with it. I cant hold him acccountable for electricity becus it is centalized system that ethnic politics is been played with. I cant hold the poeple in Abuja accountable becus ethnic politics will be seen from it. We cant protest becus govt will use thugs and scatter it. No country ever grows if the leaders are so scared of making real changes, accepting oppositions, criticism, protests, etc. We are not serious at all. In 50 years to come, it will be the same stories except we change our political system and grant locals more power and access to their polically elected leaders. |

Princedapace: VAT is INDIRECT (consumption) taxation… And I specifically noted WITHHOLDING (direct) taxation, which is what your company/clients deduct. The percentage of Nigerians subject to withholding taxes are relatively small compared to income earners (including but not limited to self-employed and informal earners) and the size of the economy. Again, it speaks volumes that Nigeria has the LOWEST tax base in all of Africa. Meanwhile, speaking of VAT, Nigeria has the LOWEST VAT rate in the entire ECOWAS subregion (including dirt poor countries like The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Togo, Guniea-Bissau, etc.), and probably one of the (if not the) lowest in all of Africa. As previously pointed out VAT is a CONSUMPTION tax. In effect, if you do not consume you do not pay VAT. However, VAT in Nigeria specifically excludes food, medicines, rent, school fees and other educational expenses, public transportation, agricultural products and expenses, etc. It is also ONLY applicable to businesses generating over N20 million in yearly revenues (meaning that it does NOT apply to products/services bought from small and medium scale businesses - which is probably the MAJORITY of Nigerian businesses). Accordingly, VAT in Nigeria only applies to a handful of goods/services used by most average Nigerians (and probably a MINORITY of the population), and thus bemoaning about VAT charges seems more than a wee bit misplaced (and frankly self-serving) in light of the public services that you expect in return. If Nigerians are still moaning in 50 years about basic things like water, roads, electricity, healthcare, etc. on Nairaland (or elsewhere), they only have to look at THEMSELVES (and I realize that critical introspection is difficult for most Nigerians) - and not least because tomorrow’s leaders are today’s followers and tomorrow’s elite are today’s masses. Nigeria’s leaders are not from Mars but are Nigerians from Nigeria who emerge from the general population (and often reflect the mores and values of the larger society). A political (or indeed any other) “system” does not exist on its own or in isolation. In fact, a “system” only exists when it is operational - that is, when human beings start running the said “system”. Accordingly, to blame the “system” gravely misses the point. NIGERIANS (the human beings) are the problem, not a nebulous and amorphous “system”. Without this basic starting point, we might as well be pissing against the wind! > 2 Likes 1 Share |
