Tobex4realTobex234: Interesting link. Anyone who is reasonably well-informed/travelled knows/should know this. Integrating into a foreign country especially when you come from a developing one, is not easy. The Canadian immigration scheme is basically meant to benefit the country by getting at least 2 generations of highly motivated people to contribute to their economy. In return, the country offers them a better life. They select only the skilled, but they also know that some of them will end up filling unskilled positions native-born do not want, either temporarily as they work their way up, or permanently. This is reality. They bank on the fact that immigrants are motivated (when you think of what you left behind in India, Nigeria, Bangladesh or whichever place you come from, that drives you to work hard), and also pass that motivation on to the second generation, so at least the Canadian economy is assured of enough doctors, engineers, IT staff etc, for decades to come (immigrants drive their children to read professional courses and related fields). All in all, the Canadian immigration scheme is working as it's supposed to work. 3 Likes |

DexterousOne:Precisely. The US is capitalism unbridled. Their so-called "pull yourself up" thinking is obviously wrongheaded, given that this is the 21st century, not the 18th century when one could make something of themselves by dint of hard work alone. Nowadays, everyone knows that the government has an input to make into the lives of those not born into wealth in order to level things up. |

DexterousOne: Let's also mention the high taxes charged in those countries which fund those free public services. How many Nigerians pay taxes? The few that pay, what percentage do they pay? Anyone can shout "Nigerians pay tax" sha, but statistics don't lie. Nigeria has one of the lowest tax-to-gdp ratios in the world at 4-5%, France is at 48%, Germany is 44.5%. Even our neighbors with similar socioeconomic demographics collect more, Benin is at 15.4%, Cameroon is at 18.2%, Ghana is at 20%, Togo is 15.5%. VAT in Nigeria is one of the lowest in the world, it has been 5%, only recently went up to 7.5% for some goods. VAT in UK and France are 20%. VAT is 12.5% in Ghana, 19.25% in Cameroon, 19% in Niger, 18% in Benin, 18% in Chad. 15 Likes |

DexterousOne: The most ironic thing is that Sanders' is not advocating anything fundamentally different from what other, also rich and thriving European economies are already doing. America's refusal to tax its people properly to pay for a reasonably comprehensive welfare state is strangely out of tune with the rest of the developed world. Remember when Warren Buffett pointed out that he pays a lower tax rate than his secretary because his money is working for him while she is working for hers. 2 Likes |

Workers at the two Kano branches of Sahad Superstore were as usual expecting their end of the financial year bonuses and many may have lined up plans on how to spend it, especially with the approaching Sallah festivities. Contrary to their expectations, at the end of the superstore’s financial year, a manager and about 74 staff working in the two branches of the store at Zoo Road and Mandawari area received dismissal notices. With the massive sack news all over town, the public have shown mixed reactions on the issue as many see the sack as an act of injustice while others view it as a deterrent to future financial impropriety. Daily Trust Saturday gathered that the decision taken by the management on July 4, 2019 was as a result of the outcome of the annual stock and account audit, which showed a significant gap in the store’s accounts which could not be accounted for in the audit report conducted. Speaking to Daily Trust Saturday, Chairman of the superstores, Ibrahim Mijinyawa, confirmed the mass dismissal, adding that he cannot say anything more on the issue. “It’s true we have sacked some of our staff based on an issue of missing fund and please my friend, allow me to rest. I have been responding to this issue since the decision was taken and I am an old man; as you can see age isn’t on my side. I have said enough and I can’t say any more please,” he said. However, it was gathered that all the sacked staff, including the manager have been replaced, and business has since resumed in the two affected branches. It was also revealed that the new manager has re-engaged some of the sacked staff. According to one of the affected staff re-engaged by the new manager, and who spoke to Daily Trust Saturday on condition of anonymity, they were told that the sack was due to the discovery of missing N250 million after the end of financial year audit. “We were expecting to receive our annual motivational bonuses at the end of the store’s financial year, but we all received a sack notification and were later told that N250 million was missing after the audit, and that the management decided to sack all of us. Some of us were re-engaged while others are yet to be contacted,” he revealed. Another sacked staff, who gave his name as Usman Babayo, revealed that he has been with the superstore for over 12 years and that nothing of such had ever happened in all the years he had spent working there. “It was indeed a tragedy to us because we have never experienced such incident. I strongly believe that they did what they did because they had no option even though most of us affected knew nothing about what happened. Many of us have no direct contact with the superstore’s funds not to talk of misappropriating it,” he lamented. 1 Like |

ultron12345: The government has historically not been interested in tax revenue because it has had oil money to steal and otherwise squander. That's why there have been a lot of subsidies in Nigeria, the government doesn't know what to do with money. However, people in these countries you mentioned are not dutiful and enthusiastic taxpayers either, the rate of income tax avoidance and so forth is probably just as high among the self-employed as it is here. 4 Likes |

That aside asset stripping of the business and theft while stocking the personal kitchen from stolen goods from the shop. The worst part was that she feeds those evil guys and ladies two sumptuous meals daily to keep the business running.

ultron12345: Well you have presented your facts And I cant argue with them Cos i assume they are all credible I know the tax net is not wide enough in Nigeria But then When I have this discussions with people Many say they cannot pay taxes to an entity that 1) Is not accountable to anyone And 2) Does not take care of the citizens A great American once said That Taxation without representation is FRAUD And this aptly describes the sorry state of Nigeria We have a mo.ron in Aso rock His govt has bumped Taxation across board over the last 2 years thereabouts I'll wager 1) Stamp duty left and right 2) VAT on phone calls 3)Increment in VAT 4)Overhaul of the tax codes YET there is nothing tangible to show for it Companies are being taxed to death in this country I can tell you this as an accountant And the supposed tertiary tax What is it being used for? On the one hand Nigerians should pay more to the coffers But on the other hand I wont blame anyone who lays the argument of "why pay taxes to an entity that does not represent me or my interests?" I have seen directors of govt agencies party with women of easy virtue, wasting govt money I was not told I saw it You cant expect me to be happy with that 4 Likes |
