Make Dem remain the one I go steal when I reach power ooo....since they don't want to change. They are grooming a generation of looters

Paying tax is not the issue. The issue is, what do the masses get in return? Will this money be accounted for?

You pay govt tax on rent and you step out to bad roads No water??

I wish I can like this a billion times.

what stops our elite youth from going into full protest against this? we don't have educate youth with ball. we are only educated and ready to die for this nation when is issue concern Nnamdi Kanu, Sowore or Asere Dokubo. Nigerian youth need to wake up from our weakness now and tell this government that we don't accept this rent stamp duty. if we keep silent it mean we accept it. what have the youth eveer benefit from this nation

The way some people will die in Nigeria will be miserable. The masses are suffering and dying and you are increasing house rent in this covid-19 era. God us on the throne.

What kind of government is this?, you want to tax people on rent after the other multiple taxes, house you can't provide for the people,then tomorrow one person will say bat swallow the money,one thing is that one section of the country pay while the other one that leave in bush and uncompleted building will enjoy the money, what a country we are leaving in, I know one day they will be deliverance on us all in Jesus name

You are very correct.

I ask pro Nigeria agitators these questions all the time,

"Do you think your country cares for you?"
"What do you currently benefit from your country"
"Can you die for your country?"

The Nigerian government makes it extremely hard for citizens to live above poverty level. Always trying at all cost to squeeze the last drop of money from its citizens (that it offers little or no helping hand). When other nations are looking for ways to help cushion the drastic effect of the Covid 19 aftermath, your beloved country is making things harder for the people trying at all costs to survive. Of course, this would lead to an increment in house rents.

As Chinua Achebe would say, "There was a country".

You built a house on your own without govt. loans or assistance. (after settling omo nile plus corrupt govt. Officials for a land you legally bought), you decided to rent it out at a meaningful rate but the govt. Still wants to make huge profit from your own rent again.

Truly, Nigerians and their buisnesses thrive to survive "in spite" of their government. Imagine a country where the dream and vision of a majority of its youths is to get a visa and move out permanently sometimes even to poorer nations.

Clearly, this union isn't working, It is a civic duty for us all to clamour for the dissolution of this contraption, so we can all manage our resources to the best of our abilities as different tribal groups.

Unfortunately, dissolution will not solve the problem. The bad eggs in your individual tribes will not go any where. Only a revolution will.

Please what do government do with all this generated revenue? To turn around and embezzle sam funds by bare faced criminals acting on behalf of our common wealth. I think the current system is gradually pushing the masses to a point of revolt against this system.
What happened in Sudan two years back to Al Bashir- a very sit thight leader is not difficult to come to mind.
You can't continue embezzling monies without accountability and expect people to part with their hard earned resources for nothing.
Some of us are government on their own in places where we live currently in Abuja in this 2020. We provide our road, borehole, vigilante, generator for power.....haba! What is the benefits of paying these taxes abeg.
[quote][/quote]

The ever docile Nigerians will pay it even if it is 20% ! "Suffering and smiling"cowardly lots ! They can't rise up and confront their tormentors,their common enemies who have brazenly continued to compound their hardships without any care. What is there again to expect from the wicked,insensitive and highly nepotistic government of buhari if not more sufferings ?

Las,las una go get sense ! Continue to call yourselves " afonja" ,"ipob pigs" ,"aboki" etc online while your tormentors are laughing at your collective stupidity. 6% stamp duty ko,10% stupidity rate ni !

Nigerians, wake up ,revolt and confront your tormentors ! Be brave for once mumu people !

I am saying it again, we don't enter one chance

A country that tax it's citizens,it's a country that has a well working infrastructural development and economy

kingthreat:

Dissolution is a means to an end. Revolution is an offshoot of dissolution.
Some people are actually comfortable with the current state of things while some others are not. The comfortable ones tend to drag the others backwards and scutter any plans for revolution.
With dissolution, any group that wants to kick-start a revolution within its confines can do so without troubling others that may be comfortable with the spate of affairs. Its simply a case of "to your tents oh israel".

gbadexy:
The worst government to ever rule the country.

They are not the worst.
The worst will be the masses, me, and you who couldn't ask questions about the usage of our hard earned taxes. If the case arises

Let me see how they will collect it. Useless people.

APC Change.... .... Where are all those Hailing Change Mantra. It will not be Well With these Touts/Criminals Rulling us. Last last . All Hell Will let loose. Tenant No see Electricity use, Still you want him to Pay Tax. You drive on A very Bad Badagry Road, then VIO & FRSC ask you for your Vehicles road Worthiness... Is Badagry road... Road Worthy? Until We start Beating this People, they won’t stop taking us for a ride. COVID 19 is Making People loose their Jobs, No Government Palliatives whatsoever, all they can think of is introducing Tenant Tax after Increasing Import Duty Tax from 5% - 7.5% ... All in this Corona Period. Una go Stand up Last & fight for una right �

This is unfortunate that the government we have has turn against it citizens.
The government has lost it. Government is the one to provide it's citizens accommodation, but has turned it back against them, asking the landlords and so called agents to collect stamp duty.
I call upon who ever that made the comment to resign in shame

God punish Buhari now and always!

Shey we no dey pray make ogun and sango kill all the boards of FIRS making all these inconvenience policies, that's not of benefits to the public.

Or make someone start recruiting low-key militants to flush out all these old men from the surface of earth, they are just pest... They will embezzle the money and begin to faint when questioning their accountability later.

How did we get here biko nu... Does it means this leaders doesn't have Comon sense to know how difficult Nigeria is. How can this people seat on our sweat eating it and still bring pains to us.

I feel this country is being gorvern by foreigners or full time pricing Devils.

Shebi na when tenants gree pay rent.
May God see us through in this country.

Thesame tenants are the ones paying their imposed 7.5 % VAT

Arexit:
these bunch of criminals want us to give them more money to steal so they can come and act faintin at the national assembly? nonsense people!

not for the pain, would have cut off the thumb i voted buhari 2015

Forget about the pain bros. Just cut off that thumb. It's more painful to know yhu are one of those who brought this misery on Nigerians.

Thank yhu bros as I await the news of amputation of that yhur thumb.

DICKstractor:
I'm not against payment of tax because even saner clime pay more but will this revenue generated be chanelled to the right place?. Or will it be hijacked by another greedy modafoka?
.
We all know the answer to this. So I'm in conclusion that 'there are no saner clime anywhere , just saner people.
.
Until Nigerians wake up, this rubbish will keep on going on

Bro in saner clime they have jobs. Is when people have earnings u tax them. No earning around bro, people are feeding from hand to mouth. A large percent of Nigerians are living bellow poverty line and they Are talking about tax here and there, how will they pay the tax, from which job will they pay it.

Iamdemola:
People should brace up. We are in for a hard time in this country.

You have been bracing up, when are you guys going to say enough is enough?

You pay 10% for legal
10% for agency
Another 6% for stamp duty again. What concerns stamp duty and rent?

Its sad they don't care about the masses. Even if you want to introduce this, is it now of all times?

tamdun:
This is madness and am loving it, when they push us to the wall, we'll fight back

Citizens are too resilient. We have been through worse. My brother, na to double the hustle o or jakpa if you get means.

This move by FIRS is dead on arrival ( DOA ). Nigerians will resist this one. Just wait and see. Hmn.

Average rent in Nigeria cities : N350,000

6% : 350,000/100 × 6 = N 21, 000



Shame on this jobless, useless and brainless government.

Why has our govt refused to recognise our deplorable standard of living?Rather, they are tightening it for us.So unfortunate that am still in this fucking country.

They are busy with bbn. By the time ASUU call of the strike and probably academic activities are rejiked, it will clear on their eyes.

BTW, I'd prefer the tax reduced to 0.6% or scrabbed. If you're to pay 70k for a self con hostel before, prepare additional 4.2k for buhari boys to take care of themselves.
