Isn't the annual budget of NDDC 500bn? What do they do with it? Just a few projects here and there and every other thing stolen. The last time the MD of NDDC appeared at the national assembly, he fainted

Look at the governor of a state like Zamfara stealing 70bn. How much do you think the Wikes, Udoms, Okowas have stolen? Perhaps, this why none of them is going to the senate. They have enough money to last 10 generations.

No one should even come with that Nigeria is not generating enough revenue or not collecting enough tax again. Even if that is true, no way things are this bad if our politicians have any atom of conscience in them.

It is funny to see you complain about political corruption while and even name checking wike while still boldly and proudly drumming support for the man after everything the man has done.

monerozi5590:


All of them are corrupt including your Obi.

Donjazet2:


Can you give explicit example of obi's corruption?

monerozi5590:


What do you mean ""explicit," Is the Pandora Paper Report a joke to you? No saint among them all.

Donjazet2:


In the "Pandora report", did Peter obi steal anyone's money? Is it not his own earned money?
Yes, that can be at worst, interpreted as tax evasion which one can rationalize as a Nigerian businessman.

However, this is totally different from what we're seeing which is governors stealing Soo much public funds for their generations.
Your whataboutism no work this time.

Spy360:

The idea of governance in Nigeria is that it's a means of fortune and hitting big. Unless there's a true patriot who comes to power, the cycle will only get worse.

When people talk about the bolded, I can't even quantify the amount of anger I feel towards such people and their line of reasoning.

I remember my old man once telling me about a statement Gowon was credited to have made that Money is not Nigeria's problem, but how to spend it is. Initially I thought my old man was just repeating what has been thrown over and over in the media space without any prove that Gowon did said that; but I later came across a thread on nairaland where it reported that Gowon actually admitted making the statement in the 70's.

https://www.nairaland.com/979808/money-not-problem-how-spend

It's funny that till date, that statement is still valid. The few states doing capital projects trying to solve some of our innumerable problems do so at a very high cost that doesn't even make any economic sense cos same projects cost lesser elsewhere apart from Nigeria. The just pad project costs without conscience while the other state governors don't even bother doing anything and just swallow the monies out rightly or buy overpriced assets in the name of the government that has no second hand value.

When I see people encouraging Nigerian Government to generate more revenue through more taxation blah blah blah.... i just feel they don't pay tax here and get to see how government waste their money on frivolities.

I remember Ajimobi vs Yinka Ayefele issue in Oyo state back then. Ayefele fell out with Ajimobi who was angry he(Ayefele) used his ownership of media organization to oppose him(Ajimobi) and support his political rival Alao-Akala. Ajimobi brought out state environmental law and had a portion of Ayefele's media house demolished citing he contravened some physical planning rule.

They later settled their differences and Ajimobi's government used state funds to restore and rebuild some parts of the building the government earlier put down. I wonder what those who pay tax in Oyo state will be thinking that time. How does a government use my money to demolish a premises and still use my money to restore it ?

So, you want a tax evader as President.

Well, some of us knew that Obi is a packaged scam. No shame. 😏

You are absolutely right. Most of the proponents of the more tax more revenue are not in the country

I guess it's easier to just sit someone else and wish more tax on struggling citizens when the one they even pay is being stolen right before their very eyes.

And I can't believe the bolded

Donjazet2:
Ibime, I would like to know your economic opinion on what prof molumba is saying here. Is it grounded on reality or is he blowing hot air??

Donjazet2:


Ibime how far?

DeadPresidents:
Only a mumu will pay 50k as tax when a legal way to pay 10k as tax exists.

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from watching the superwealthy, it is, "learn how to play legal"

Why should i be penalized for your lawmakers stupidity?

I was watching an interview of Buba Galadinma on Arise and he claimed it can take up to 5bn to prosecute a presidential election in court

And why won't it? Imagine INEC requesting 1.5m to access election materials in Sokoto State alone

Everything about this country is just so strange

And tinibu is still nowhere to be found.

Theflint1:
He plans to return like a thief in the night, I wonder how long they think they can play these games with the man's health status...Nigeria is about to get their first fully remote president.

You are very ungrateful

Tinubu is in Europe hawking Nigeria's Lithium; moving from street to street, dropping proposals and you are here talking about playing games.

He would be back on the 27th

Rest with your agenda
