Anthony478: OGHENAOGIE PPI: Public Private Investments. PFPI: Public Financing of Private Innovations eg YOUWIN. PMPFLP: Public Marketing Platforms For Local Producers. PPFAIALP: Public Platforms For Angel Investors And Local Producers. PPELP: Public Private Export of Local Produce eg A Governor buying yams from her indigenous people at #1500 and then selling to an exporter at #4500 who in turn sells at #7,000 - #10,000 overseas These 5 things are the structures that must exist in order to make an economy taxable. These are also other means of generating revenue . |

HiddenShadow:Coming up with fancy new acronyms is easy, but can you show a single developed country, or constituent part of such a country, that counts such terms as major sources of funding? Because I’ve been to much of Europe, East Asia and North America, and everywhere I went the main source of government revenue was the same - taxation, be it in the form of income tax, sales tax or customs duties. |

omohayek: What is paid in taxes is insignificant compared to oil money anyway. The state of 3 million as of last census generating only 12 billion a year. The tax base pays N2,500 a month. 1 Like |

Blue3k2:Which makes it all the more bizarre to hear all the complaining about “heavy” taxes. I wonder how many of those complaining would manage in a typical European country with 20% VAT and top income tax rates of more than 40%! I know they’ll just spout nonsense about how the government should first give them the benefits that will justify the taxes, but how exactly is that supposed to happen without the sort of heavy borrowing people condemn Osun for? 4 Likes 1 Share |

You just made your calculations unnecessary complex by multiplying by 12 and later dividing by 12. Why didn't you just divide the N1 bilion by 400, 000 right away and arrive at N2,500/month ? Blue3k2: |

BOLD FACE LIES. THE STATE WAS GENERATING 600 MILLION MONTHLY DURING WADA'S TIME. HOW CAN BELLO NOW COME AND SAY IT IS 300 MILLION. HOW DOES HE EXPECT US TO BELIEVE HIS 1 BILLION FIGURE. IF NA TRUE, I DARE HIM TO RELEASE A BREAKDOWN. MOST OF IT WILL BE DEVELOPMENT LEVY FROM THE OVER INFLATED BOGUS CONTRACTS HE IS AWARDING. KOGI HAS BEEN DESTROYED. 1 Like |

omohayek: I won't waste my time arguing with you until you find yourself in the helms of affairs. I don't think you know that Nigerians and their businesses are too poor to sustain taxation. You must first empower them to be wealthy before you can rely on them for taxation. You can doubt me at your own peril. Finally, you are talking to a distance relative of one of the most outstanding, effective and efficient former Governor. I won't mention his name but he is well respected. Just take note that we know how to run an effective government and still doing it till today. 2 Likes 1 Share |

afroniger:Bad Belle? Not me, I'm just being realistic here. I've traversed Kogi state and I know what I'm saying. Can you name up to five industries/companies operating in Kogi? Commerce?? I've been to Lokoja (actually lived there for almost a year), Okene, Kabba, Anyigba, Ankpa and these are the most developed towns in the state and I saw nothing that could generate #1 billion monthly for the state. Which state governors? The same dishonest state governors?? I wonder what they hope to achieve with such lies. 2 Likes 1 Share |

MediumStout: I equate shallow reasoning to sin. How on earth would a smart person place Kogi and Lagos on the same economic scale? It would take a miracle for Kogi to be able to generate that much. Nigeria does not start and end in Lagos. 1 Like

omohayek: Honestly, going by the way nigerians attack tax collection, I think it's fair to say that we are not ready to develop. South Africa with a population of 40-million is pulling in as much as $65-billion dollars in VAT annually, while Nigeria with 170-million people struggles to collect a meager $6-billion. Our people need reorientation in this regard coz money for development has to come from somewhere, and we don't have that many options, in the face of dwindling oil revenues. 6 Likes 1 Share |

HiddenShadow: Guy, what are u talking about? We have more than 4-times the population of SA yet we can't match them even half way. Their companies in Nigeria make more money HERE than anywhere else, in other words, they are getting way more out of our population than our government is able to.

Re: Kogi’s IGR Hits N1bn Monthly by Vivere: 3:49pm On Nov 17, 2017 |
omohayek: In foreign countries, everyone can see what the taxes are used for. Citizens do not have to seek additional funds to provide essential services, which their taxes are expected to cover. In Nigeria, taxation is an additional burden because even after paying those taxes , you do not get the benefits that accrue from paying them, and you still have to find additional funds to provide the same goods and services that should have been funded by your tax. From roads to water to security to almost everything else! That is why people complain about taxes! As an SME, the issue of multiple taxation is so common in Nigeria, that some businesses actually end up collapsing under the weight of such multiple taxes. Govt ignores their pleas and some business owners are left with no choice, but to close shop or relocate. |
