Hired as a so-called tax collector by several influential families, Captain Nwokuha has a fearsome look as he walks around with a piece of wood to enforce his authority at a busy and chaotic road junction in the southern Nigerian city of Port Harcourt. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-66152708 10 Likes

Smh in Portuguese. What would Tinubu do to this when he, Tinubu and his god-sons Fashola are grand masters of the game. Even all the traditional stools across the entire country have become empire of lootery. All traditional stools now have boys they employ and give daily targets spread across different businesses. There are collectors for sand diggers Collectors for bus operators Collectors for hawkers Collectors for shop owners Collectors for barrow operators It's endless. Go to eti-osa in Lagos, because of the massive work force and elite population, the king's in those corridors have their boys pursuing every nooks and crannies. You'll be shocked at the outrageous daily targets these boys get and the amounts they deliver. You'll hear figures like boys A, 3M per day. That's the driving force and underlying source of your kings opulent style. Lootery. Shameless lootery. Yesteryears Fashola changed market women taxes and stole.billions diverting many into elephant projects that are never accounted for till today. He was digging a borehole 10-30 Million Naira. Same for Olusegun Mimiko who almost finished Ondo state indigenes if not for good. The same madness almost permanently handicapped Abia state. Abia almost completely died under the heritage of the Orjis, ask Benin people, they know how Igbinedion almost completely destroyed them if not for God's redeeming power. I thank for who God is. Corruption has killed Nigeria. FRSC has institutionalized corruption. They arrets your vehicle, you are ushered into their office. They have amount giving to them by federal they inflate the figures accumulate the funds into a central collection account and split amongst themselves as they please codedly so the entire looting is whitewashed and the funds laundered leaving very little trace. It's everywhere, Nipost, Customs, Ports Authorities. Spits angrily. Nigeria needs an overhaul It's so bad immediately Buhari stepped into power he went for an EU meeting and was asked to ask for demands. Buhari was presented with a list of 300 person's, EU said prosecute these individuals for fraud and then come and ask for anything you want as you would prove to be doing the real corruption fights. Buhari upon checking that list which the while world do not know the names it contains Became muted till forever. Nigeria needs total cleansing. Thank God for Makinde showing a stance against the regular touts and transport operators letting them know they should be in their place And the likes of Oti brining digital taxation. Digital taxation should be the way forward nothing else. Everyone should go and work 81 Likes 15 Shares |

That's APC legacy especially in Lagos I drove around obalende last week and l couldn't but shed tears for my dear state It's like everybody and l mean everybody is now agbero or ticket collector From grandfathers to fathers to grandsons including women It's a far cry from the Lagos we were raised in , in the 80s Shomolu, Fadeyi, Mushin, Onipanu, lyana Oworo, Bariga, Ketu and Ebute meta are even worse Agberoism seems to have become the ambition of an average school drop out and it won't become a societal menace if government is not actively or subtly involved Asking around, l was told these school drop outs and miscreants are allocated hoods, tarmacs and spots in strategic suburbs to collect levies and taxes as rewards for their political loyalty, thuggery and disruptive behavior during elections.. Politicians don't reward them with education to improve their lives or decent jobs to be useful in the society but as ticket collectors on the streets while their own progenies study abroad and fill top vacancies in Alausa Olorun a saanu wa 24 Likes 3 Shares |
