CSTR2:Moral crime you say, what were the poor people doing when the rich were working hard for their money? How can someone who idles about at village bars while I slave away in schools, streets, jobs and businesses say I'm morally wrong to be rich in his poor society? It's a ridiculous conclusion my friend. 5 Likes |

Bedwyr:Nigerian are cowards. They never get angry even when being killed. There is a reason why SARS is still operating despite their reign of killing and extortion. How many protests have been done against bandits killing? If people can't rise against killings is it ordinary tax that they will rise again? 1 Like |

CSTR2:There is no such thing as a moral crime. And no, being poor doesn't make you an angel. As long as a person did not violate tax laws, they are good to go. |

Bedwyr: Subjecting the citizens to poverty will not make them to lose their ethno-religious attachments. I gave up on Nigeria because the country is irreconcilably divided along ethnic and religion lines. Extreme taxation won't eradicate that. Any attempt to confront the government will always die on the altar religion and tribalism! 1 Like |

Nigeria and Nigerians need to pay more effort and attention to taxation, not just the rich. We are not paying much as taxes. I know it is hard to bear or hear but it is the truth. In Saner climes, tax is like oxygen, you pay or you go to jail. If this is done here, the statement 'national cake' will die naturally, because everyone will know that the money for governance is not a dug up slush money from a green and white fairy but our collective sweats. So when the road to my house is not tarred after passing its budget, I will shout louder than thunder instead of defending the man responsible for the anomaly because he is from my village. 2 Likes |

Updatebaze: Taxing all the rich people in Nigeria mercilessly will never drive away extreme poverty in Nigeria. The major cause of poverty in Nigeria is simply corrupt politicians and lack of political will to replicate and implement policies that has worked in other developing nations. Why can't he start from cutting down the huge salaries and allowances his fellow politicians are collecting monthly as ministers, governors, senators etc if he is really sincere? Many so called rich men in this country started from scratch without any support from the govt yet u want to tax them mercilessly to kill their businesses. I know of one very rich man in my village that single handedly tarred all the roads that's leading to my village yet we have a govt who are supposed to be responsible for such which other tax is greater than that? 1 Like |

Bedwyr: the problem with Nigeria as regards bad governments are the poor. they are the ones who vote. 80-90% of the electorate are the poor, it doesnt matter how much you tax the rich or the middle class, or how much they protest, they cannot influence elections. their protests are labelled "speaking grammar" by the poor. The poor have no skin in the game in the sense that they do not pay tax and are mostly unelightened enough to make good decisions at the ballot. so this idea that if you tax Nigerians you will improve governance is hogwash!.. For that to happen you have to tax the poor and that is the most stupid thing you can do in the poverty capital of the world!! Bottom line...nothing changes. you tax the rich, they devise clever ways to hide their assets, you tax the middle class and they flee abroad, those who stay will have less purchasing power which affects the economy!!! 1 Like |
