Nawaoooo.. So because say I rich, you wan tax me die ni?.. For my own hard earn money?. I do bad thing to be rich?. I think its time to leave this galaxy to Andromeda

We're
Why not start with lootinglators first
How many billions was allocated for the Senate agaiN?

Let's start with you

He meant to say Politiciams must be taxed mercilesy along with the greedy rich.

Biko is it a crime to be rich in Nigeria?

The rich in Nigeria are stupendously wealthy.
They are comparable to any wealthy person in any part of the world.

The poor in Nigeria are stupendously poor.
Poor to the bones.

The middle class is shrinking everyday.

Sir, I support taxing them but I object to the use of the word, 'mercilessly.'

The gap between the rich and the poor is too much.
The higher you earn the higher the tax
And the lower you earn the lower your tax....
But the rich people will fight this with their last blood.

This is what you get when you give work of tailor to bricklayer

there are many ways we can generate revenue other that extortion

This people should stop painting Nigeria this bad image, this utterances alone will scare away investors

Go and do your research on how exportation works there and compare it with this country then you will realize one of the reason why we are here today

kilode gan?

It is a moral crime to be worth over 3 billion dollars without paying your fair share to alleviate chronic poverty in the country.

Very stupid statement. Unlearned comment from a failed governor.

Exactly what came to my mind, the poor will suffer it more and the sufferness go double because the rich ones will stop sharing with the poor, these chance wey Nigeria enter no be one chance na die chance

mrgoodd:
This country is finished, You can't device a good way to boost the revenue and the only shallow way you can take is tax the rich heavily? The earlier you know the poor working under the rich will suffer for your action the better, Just stop paying Kings millions because they have no purpose and make sure all chances they got to hijack land properties are blocked, We can save billions through that, Don't tell me the kings re first before government, I can boost that no Nigerian King can say he never hijack land and properties before, No one, Useless set of people.

There should be a balance. Tax the rich mercilessly and they move their investments elsewhere.

Paying taxes is not the problem but ensuring those money are channelled appropriately is the issue here. As a federal government worker you can't do but to pay tax in Nigeria because those money are being deducted from the source.. I paid not less than 35k per month at my level. Some of my bosses pays as much as 250k tax per month.
But the unfortunate thing is that people selling in the market that can make 2 times my salary after a sale are not even covered.

That's true

Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has been a addict to Tax even when he was a commisional for road under fashional before he became the governor he use tax has his number 1 priority.
I paid Tax during my OND in school

Foolish talk. When the rich start carrying all their investments to Ghana, you will remember this statement.

Just like you leave vulcanizing to the vulcanizer, leave economics to the economists.

In Nigeria, we have people that have five gulf stream private jets, import pizza from Italy, shave their hair in London and go for a party in Paris.

All in a weekend.

While the vast majority still see garri and fresh fish as a luxury.

That is a crime against God.

This is what other developed countries do. But here in Nigeria, Na poor people way dey pay pas

useless country

Bedwyr:
Actually, to be harsh, Nigerians need to pay more taxes.

It would be a good thing if we paid 30-50% of our monthly earnings as tax, the better to force many of us to sit up and actually take an interest in what our gofment is doing...

(Yes, I mean it.).

I already do pay 30 percent of my monthly income as tax...the question is how does it benefit me or the next person living in this God forsaken country??

I still provide security for myself..I still switch on generators etc

nobody is going to work hard for his riches only for some thieves to tax and loot it. No rich man is going to pay taxes for the poor to continue to vote for thieves. The rich will find a way as they do all over the world to protect their investments.

it is only when the poor pay taxes that we will get good government because they are the ones who are in the majority and who determine the outcome of elections and keep voting for crooks!!

Poor people don't pay Tax because it will take Nigeria a greater heights to reach the peak

Without a middle class, the rich will have no one to make them rich.

Nigeria offers the best rewards in the world.
It is almost unnatural.

Lol

'mercilessly' this is a kind of word that shouldn't come from a leader. Are there not Nigerians that are rich out of hard work? So it is a crime to work hard and become rich under APC govt? This is a terrible time for Nigerians. Our wicked leaders must be brought to book some day.

lol Nigerians are barely surviving on their meagre salaries and you want them to sacrifice up to a third of their barely enough earnings? you think this is the abroad? you're joking son.

If Nigerians paid 50% of their taxes, they would be more interested in what their government is doing...and if Mr Government is doing nothing...there would be a lot of protests and then...let's say the old guys would be out of a job.

The problem with Nigeria is that we have been , since independence, dependent on revenues from whatever raw material we sell...not on taxes (which is a big part of why looting is commonplace...)
