The tax we pay in Enugu is now too much.
My landlord recently increased our office rent from 700k to 1.2m.
All the tenants contested it, but at the end of the day the rent has to stand.
Today I sent one of my staff to the ENSAA office to get the quotation and the right to mount a billboard at my office.
He went and came back to tell me, "Sir, they said it's 150k." I was like, "How?" He said he can't lie to me na.
50k for inspection and 150k for the billboard, which means I am going to pay 200k and I will be paying 150k yearly for just having billboard.
This is not the amount you'd spend on making the billboard.
Other taxes are not included oooo.
If I list the tax we pay in this Enugu, it would shock you. Yes, paying tax helps the state develop, but tax should be easier to pay.
It has never been like this before.
I have decided not to stay silent on this issue, not because it has affected me, but because people need to know why rent and the price of things keep increasing, especially in Enugu.
A landlord sat in my office and told me he pays over 1.8m in tax yearly. Tell me, if you were him, won't you increase rent?
Before you blame people for increasing the prices of things they sell, ask them how much they pay in tax.
I am not sorry for this.
The tax people pay in Enugu is in excess.
I don't want to go the route of what we developers face, but tax in this state is too much, and you won't understand until you own a business here.
Enugu State used to be affordable to stay in, but this town is now very expensive to stay in. I am sure most of you can relate.
If you own business here am I lying.
Dear @PayeeIzuchukwu and @AnambraNewMedia, if the investment by Peter Obi in International Breweries is next to nothing, let's do a basic math;
The primary investment was in naira, 1.96billion naira, equivalent $12,616,356.43(155 to $1).
Today, your claim is, the investment is worth $3m, please,
1. Convert to naira, and share the value.
2. Can you share the tax record of International Breweries(2012 - 2025)to Anambra State Government.
3. What was the Brewery worth in 2012, what's the worth today?
4. With the data provided, is investing in Anambra "Next to Nothing", or worth it?
Enugu needs jobs.
Things are becoming too expensive in Enugu.
If we want to turn Enugu into Lagos in terms of rent and the cost of living, then we must also create opportunities for young people to earn commensurate incomes.
You cannot have Lagos-level expenses without Lagos-level opportunities.
The average Enugu youth has very limited opportunities to earn a decent income.
If you raise the cost of living, you must also raise the opportunities to earn.
This is why the @ourenugu (BANYÍ) movement is built around a simple 3-point agenda:
1. JOBS FOR OUR YOUTHS
Create employment, support businesses and expand economic opportunities so that our young people can build successful lives without depending on politics.
2. SOCIAL WELFARE FOR THE ELDERLY
Build a state-sponsored social welfare system that ensures our elderly are supported and treated with dignity.
3. AGGRESSIVE RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Take development beyond Enugu city centre and ensure that our rural communities also benefit from infrastructure, investment and economic opportunities.
JOBS. WELFARE. RURAL DEVELOPMENT.
That is the Enugu we envision.
BANYÍ (OUR ENUGU)

As at when Peter Obi bought his First House in the UK in 1987 my Parents were still Boyfriend and Girlfriend.
Jim Ovia hadn't started Zenith Bank yet.
Elumelu had just finished NYSC and was a new staff at Union Bank.
Otedola had just become a Managing Director for the first time at Impact Press.
Dangote was still basically a young trader and hadn't moved into manufacturing yet.
Tinubu was still a mere staff at Mobil.
Pastor Chris was still a Student Pastor.
I could go on and on..
Is this the man you are comparing with the Forger in Aso Rock?
If not for Politics who's Wike, Umahi and even Tinubu to Speak when Obi is talking?
OBI IS COMING
Just In📹 “I AND MY WIFE ARE GODPARENTS TO SOLUDO’S CHILDREN…”
HIS EXCELLENCY PETER OBI SPEAKS AT THE NIGERIAN GUILD OF EDITORS’ 22ND CONFERENCE IN ENUGU🇳🇬
It’s well
Hilarious, as Asari asks Wike why his name is Ezebunwo, and not Obabunwo, if he’s truly from Benin as he claims. He also convincingly punctures the claim by some Igbos of Rivers State that they originated from Benin. And he proudly reaffirmed his own Igbo identity, plus more.
Wike said G5 decided to allow Obi win SS whereas:
Ugwuanyi lost his Senate
Ortom lost his Senate
Ikpeazu lost his Senate
Wike almost kil!ed entire Rivers people just to narrowly tip Tinubu over the line.
Why is Wike desperate to make it look like they determined OBI’s votes?
Wike LIED!!!!!
3 of the G5 Governors ran for Senate. They all lost!
If Wike was that powerful how come he couldn't give them a win on an election that was on the same day and time!
Wike is petrified of life outside of government!!!!
E don dey clear for I'm eye!
Prof. Soludo has absolutely lost it!!!
The letter you posted is dated 25 April 2006 and Peter Obi became governor barely a month after on the 17th of March 2006.
How is he being held responsible for 42 months of unpaid Water Corporation salaries?
This is absolute madness!!!
Lord, I am so grateful that YOU KEPT FOR YOURSELF, A MAN like Peter Obi
You have used this man to show forth that Nigeria is not only populated by dark hearted, thieving , roguish and demon infested political bandits...
You have also used PO to unravel the many evil hearted and CERTIFICATED OKPEBHOLOS LIKE SOLUIBERIBE AND HIS BUNCH OF NITIWITS IN AWKA AND ACROSS NIGERIA
THANK YOU LORD, FOR STILL KEEPING FOR YOURSELF , THE 7,000, WHO HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER KISS THE SNAKE RING OF THE POLITICAL BANDITS IN NIGERIA
Martin Okorowu , Soluiberibe and all the cursed generation of vipers , are totally cursed until the REPENT AND MAKE RESTITUTION FOR THEIR SLANDER AND SATANIC LIES
MEANWHILE, ALL THEIR GAMES IS TO DISTRACT US FROM THE ABSENCE OF THEIR THE SHAKY SHAKY MANNEQUIN in france and the 37 NIGERIANS KPAID IN NIGER STATE
GOD YOU PASS DEM ALL
OKWUTE IS A GOAL
Dear Anambra State Government, you have been crying about this just Water Board, this is the only thing agency you have been making noise about, we believe it’s time to scrutinize that agency of government because it’s beginning to appear like an agency that had skeletons in their cupboard and riddled with lots of corruption, and probably ineffective, at that time.
This letter shows sometime in 2006 just when the governor had assumed office. What was the situation in March 2014, when the governor was leaving office.
These are pertinent questions.
Nigerians are not kindergarten kids.
Loooool.
A letter sent to him ONE MONTH INTO HIS TENURE AS GOVERNOR to say that Ngige and Mbadinuju had been owing salaries for 3.5yrs is your proof?
Further proof that they can’t find anything 😀
And the fact that the state’s own official handle are the ones doing this is proof that EVERYTHING Okonjo Iweala said about Soludo is true 😂
BUSTED: “Professor” Soludo’s Cluelessness And Lies Again Exposed As State Document Claiming Obi Owed 42 Months’ Salaries as Anambra Governor Is Dated April 25, 2006 Just Three Weeks After Obi Became Governor On March 17, 2006 https://t.co/pdM0CTPr1x
Oga stop lying, stop these lies! I was ward collation agent for ward 16 (biggest ward) in Ogba Egbema Ndoni lga. H.E. Peter Obi cleared Onelga before 2pm in 2023 and was announced winner by INEC in the lga collation center which we heard angered you and you then sent word to all INEC collation centers in the other 22 LGA’s not to announce the results after collation and they foolishly obeyed you.
All those INEC officials, are they not also feeling the pain of their evil deeds today from this incompetent government they enabled?
In 2023, You celebrated the downfall of peter Obi because of your selfish gains. Your downfall in 2027 will be celebrated!
“Prosperity is not preached in the mosque yet it produced the richest man in Africa” -Apostle Arome Osayi.
That should tell you this delusional ‘prosperity gospel’ nonsense that is sold to naive uninformed christians is a false hope and a fool’s paradise.
