Uncle even secondary school students know that we generate either oil or non oil revenue and we are massively exposed to oil price fluctuations due to our overdependence on oil exports.

Over time, the massive inefficiencies in tax collection hasn't been addressed hence the reason for this committee.

Of course, efforts are underway to diversify the economy especially in government funding agricultural and industrial expansion but all these efforts will remain in vein if your tax system is porous and still has numerous loopholes which can be exploited. I'm sure you know that the success story of Lagos compared to most other states is because of their effective tax system where even pure water sellers on the road pay some for of tax daily in the name of ticket. Whether 80% of the Lagos tax is used for the Lagos people or shared by the big boys is a topic for discussion another day.

Of all the constricting problems in Nigeria today, it is a tax reforms committee that is most important to a drug baron president. Today he said only FIRS should collect tax. Remember his infamous statement; "Take away their purchasing power........?

Tinubu is a disgrace to Yorubaland. He's living large on our country resources with his family and the only thing he can use his thieving head to think is how to make life difficult for Nigerians.

Stay on the issue at hand. Google Myrtle Beach South Carolina. They have used blue economy to generate huge fortune. Do you know how many people are benefiting from the set up.
Under that situation you can now talk about tax and people will GLADLY pay because they know you know what”s up.
Google the natural resources found in Switzerland, compare that with the natural resources found only in NORTHERN NIGERIA. Check their GDP and compare it with Nigeria’s GDP.
No be only secondary school students, a baby still in the womb knows that diversifying the economy has nothing to do with your long essay. Your first paragraph gave you away!
10Q.

So what's your point exactly? Because you're not making any sense if you don't see the need for the tax reforms and why this should be given the priority that this government has rightly accorded it!

You're just blowing hot air. How can you be talking of blue economy when the fundamentals of your economy are in dire need of repair? Don't just come online to form intelligence and instead expose your ignorance.

Diversifying the economy without fixing the tax system is akin to going to the stream to fetch water with a bucket full of holes.

There is a place for economic diversification of course in the economic reforms the government plans as this will widen the tax base but first things first the tax system has to be functional and efficient. This is simple common sense.

Check all your post, trying hard to sound smart.
COMMON SENSE, secondary school students… it is called “diffusion”.
There is something called order. If you think the first thing to do is to focus on tax when the country is on fire…have fun bro!
