Why Do Lagosians Pay 10% Monthly Tithes On Taxes To The Godfather Of The State? by Nobody: 11:34pm On May 10, 2021
How did Lagos with a population of 20 million people allow one man to collect 10% commission of state taxes since 2003?Imagine major cities like Cape Town, London,New York,Tokyo,Amsterdam,Cairo,Accra,Johanessburg,Windhoek allowing a government official to award his personal firm monopoly to indifinitely collect states taxes at 10% commission.

Why didn't Commissioner of Justice,Yemi Osibanjo, at the time advise against this illegality and the conflict of interest.

As a Christian the best thing for him to do was resign to show his displeasure when he was Commissioner of Justice. What other business dealings did he overlook to please his boss.

he could have resigned, but showing his displeasure would only delay the progress of whatever deal brought to his table. But Why do you think Osinbajo had any powers to stop or delay any wrongdoings then

As a Christian you always have to stand for what is right. I know he would advised against giving the monopoly to his personal company and the commission of 10%, which is unheard of in any city or state in the world.

It was also when Osibanjo was Commissioner of Justice, Lagos became the first state to give former governors multi-billion naira life pensions. Osibanjo has shown time and time again he stands for nothing.

It is possible in any state, there is no check in abuse of powers by state governors or godfathers.

Lie

Didn't Delta State go to Court Claiming no money was missing from their State Funds
when FG took Ibori to Court

How come that very same Delta State is now trying to collect the very same money recovered from Ibori not mentioning the Fact that Ibori was given a reception in the State House when he returned from Jail in the UK

There was a petition sent to EFCC, that claimed Obaseki was replicating the same scenario in Edo state by awarding his personal company the monopoly to collect taxes at a certain percentage.

In Nigeria, Lagos sets the precedence for bad behavior, and other states follow. I wouldn't be suprised if all the current governors have replicated this 10% commission in their states, just like they did for the multi-billiona naira life pension for former governors that was first enacted in Lagos state.
