My brother the said 6billion earned by Alpha Beta every month is what we are told. A Lagos Resident once petitioned Governor Fashola and invoked the Freedom of Information Act(signed by GEJ), asking Fashola to provide him invoices and documents with respect to what is paid to Alpha Beta. Governor Fashola replied him that he will NEVER supply him such infor, that the said FOI is not applicable to Lagos. We don't even know what "really" goes on in LASG. A new PDP government or FOI implementation will expose many things. God Bless Lagos State 31 Likes 3 Shares |

The stupidity of those who brought the yeye news to AIT is glaring, Lagos makes 40billion monthly? From where? For argument sake let assume it is true, is it wrong if a company works and then charge fees for the work it does? Alphabeta helped lagos to move it IGR from 8-9 billion monthly to about N26billion and highest of N29billion I think in June 2013 don't know where AIT got it fugure of N40billion IGR when the state has a budget of N489billion this year, does it mean the state didn't include its Federal Allocation to its Budgetary plans. When you lie without commonsense, your lies won't add up. If anybody is bitter about the job Alphabeta is doing in Lagos, sorry we indigenes of Lagos aren't, it is earning an agreed % for the marvelous job it is doing and it marvelous in our eye. Anyone not happy with Alphabeta collecting his tax can pack his bag and baggage and return to his or her village,.there is no rope tying anybody's yansh to Lagos. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Noviolence2015: If you have nothing to say just stfu. Lagos IGR is more or thereabout N40billion, you know because your uncle is the Accountant General of Lagos. If the total budget for Lagos state is N489billion for 2015, and from your stupidity it earn N40billion/month then that should translate to earning N480billion alone from IGR for this year. Then from the entire federal allocation for this year, Fashola will just take N9billion to add up the balance and thereafter share the remaining federal.Allocation.with Tinubu right? I hate my mention quoted by daft senseless people, pls if you don't have commonsense pls wakapass my post. 11 Likes 1 Share |

pendy79:.I have on severally occasions had to explain to some foolish people that Alpha Beta Consulting is a world class tax management firm(in fact one of the best--if not the best in the country).They have consulted for many states in the country(even states run by the PDP).The jealousy and hatred of some people towards Tinubu would not make them think like humans with brains.Was Tinubu poor before he became the Governor of Lagos State in 1999?Tinubu retired in Mobil as a big shot.He has been a Chartered Accountant for almost Forty years.He has been a National Figure since 1992 when he became the Senate Chairman on Finance.He has had houses in the USA and the UK for more than 20years(even before he became an Executive Governor).He was also a main financier of anti-Abacha group...It was on the basis of his financial wherewithals and business acumen he was made the governor of Lagos.As at the time he became the governor in 1999,Lagos IGR was around 600million Naira.My piece of advice for all the people that are unhappy about the rise of Asiwaju Tinubu is that when they get to positions of authority ,they should ignore their friends who have capacity to deliver on projects and appoint enemies who don't have requisite experience...Asiwaju Tinubu is the man of the people.He has always got loyal foot-soilders.You can't break him.GEJ knows with Tinubu in the South-west,it is welcome to Otuoke for him...The real south-westerners know Tinubu is a good man.Bode Tewonde George(the ex-prisoner)and some phoney and hungry yoruba leaders who have been settled with 12million Naira through National Conference think they can bring down Asiwaju Tinubu.Tinubu has been winning elections in the south-west without the inputs of spent Afenifenu renegades 9 Likes |

Nigerians should not allow themselves to be fooled by propagandal. FIRS takes 10% of what they generate as running cost. Last year FIRS generated about 5trillion naira. Does it mean that 10% of 5T is a dash to FIRS? Only 60% of crude oil earning goes to Nigeria, the remaining 40% goes to d company exploring d crude for Nigeria, does it mean d 40% is a dash to those companies? B4 alpha beta, Lagos IGR was less than a billion, today alpha beta has done a good job to make Lagos IGR what it is. Lagos is the only state in Nigeria that can survive without federal allocation all bc of the hard work of the same man being blackmailed. Even FIRS had to learn from Lagos inorder to increase Nigeria IGR. Some other states who had learned from Lagos has increased their IGR. Rather than blackmail we could ask for accountability. I even blv Nigerians should ask other Nigerian states to learn from Lagos how to increase their IGR. Lets not destroy our Nation with the campaign of hatred bc of politics. 5 Likes |

PDP & AIT should shove their cheap Propaganda & distractions up their ruptured rectums. We all know Tinubu and Fashola are not saints but their policies have brought sanity & development to Lagos and so, Ambode remains the next Governor. Mention a governor that hasn't stolen from the government coffers in the entire history of Nigeria? In terms of stealing & embezzlement; Tinubu is still a learner compared to James Ibori, Peter Odili & their master GEJ who stole $54Billion according to Obasanjo. Remember, when choosing between 2 evils; always pick the 1 you haven't tried before - So we will pick GMB and if he performs below our expectations, he will also be fired & we shall keep firing them until we get the most appropriate candidate for the job - Senseless Bunch of TANoids. 2 Likes |

pendy79: It didn't even move from 8 billion monthly, it moved from 600 million monthly pre-1999 to 18 - 21 billion monthly which is 2900% increase in the space of 12 - 16 years. Now, compare that to how Nigeria at the centre has performed - we do not even know the actual revenue generated by the Federal government monthly. A house of reps member recently put that figure at 20 trillion naira and we know that this is not factual. If Alpha Beta revolutionized tax administration in Lagos, shouldn't they be praised? 2900% increase isn't a small feat. Did anyone ask the Federal Government how much they paid consultants like PwC to come up with the number plates and drivers license which they used to milk Nigerians? 3 Likes |

ayuse: Lagos is not the only state that can survive without federal allocations. If you allow rivers state to control and tax every reveneu made from that state, it will be bouyant enough to fund herself. Ditto Delta , bayelsa etc. The oil money that is shared and allcated to every state belongs to these states. They should be the ones "dashing" you a little, not the other way round. 5 Likes |

chemali: Keep juggling facts. If Rivers states was to be made the initial beneficiary of the financial accruals from the oil wells domiciled in her vicinity, it will be very interesting to see where you would have gotten the cash to put your much vaunted Lagos, a former Nigeria political capital and still her financial capital in the kind of infastructural stead that made her the biggest IGR earner around. I hope you are not waggling and waffling just to invent a reason to pin Lagos 'success' down to your "shôfisikatédì" brand of wild politics. Bottomline: mineral producing states should "posses their possessions" and pay simple tax to Abuja. 5 Likes |
Re: Tax In Lagos, On AIT by chemali: 8:16am On Mar 03, 2015 |
owobokiri: It is not dubious logic. it is a strategy that is clearly working and should be adopted by other states. The only thing is that there should be transparency in what is being paid to these consultants! Calling him a robber on this basis shows you lack understanding. This happens in the US. ABC collects less than 10%. My only request is LASG should come out and give details of the contract. In September 2006, the IRS started to outsource the collection of taxpayers debts to private debt collection agencies. Opponents to this change note that the IRS will be handing over personal information to these debt collection agencies, who are being paid between 29% and 39% of the amount collected. Opponents are also worried about the agencies' being paid on percent collected, because it will encourage the collectors to use pressure tactics to collect the maximum amount. IRS spokesman Terry Lemons responds to these critics saying the new system "is a sound, balanced program that respects taxpayers' rights and taxpayer privacy." Other state and local agencies also use private collection agencies.[39] |
