@Glock_dookie_@nyskazin Y’all are Black Americans wherever you choose to come from is your headache. There’s other black people around the world. I mean it’s not too difficult to understand?
@kingme222@nyskazin We don’t identify as black, we are Black. There’s no fuckin need to identify as black. I can’t believe I have to say this to someone.
@mminwe@Big_marvis Some of you really need to start watching travel/walking videos of other cities around the world. You seem to not understand what development is or look like. He say na doing wonders.
@Allyclay@Anthony_Nigeria@Big_marvis What stupid human capital? When only about 19% of the taxable population pay income taxes. What we have is loads of unproductive people.
Apparently this is too difficult for “university graduates” to understand. They believe Nigeria’s problems start and ends with corruption and “bad government”.
Most Nigerians think Nigeria is rich and can afford to provide basic amenities without taxes or borrowing. Quick fact:
NewYork City - Population: 20m - Budget: $110bn
Lagos State - Population: 22m - Budget: $2.1bn
Nigeria - Population: 220m - Budget: $34.1bn
Newyork's budget for 20 million people is 3 times Nigeria's budget for 220 million people.
South Africa's budget for 60 million people is 3 times Nigeria's budget for 220 million people.
Even if 🇳🇬politicians do not steal a dime, our budget is way too week to make any significant impact. We have a revenue problem; taxes and strategic borrowing is the way forward.
But people will still find a way to argue against the fact regardless.
I decided to bring you this fact after having a delicious dinner with my Chinese colleagues.
@esqflick Lol na average figure, of course you’ve not received anything. Sm of us don’t even hv kids and all we’ve bn doing is paying into the system. But it’s easier to just lump everyone together than it is to determine individually if you are net positive or a net negative contributor.
