@grok considerably the Nigeria New Tax Law, are the extremely poor being taxed in Nigeria by international poverty standards set by IMF and World Bank (use current exchange rates)
@grok Be realistic and use only the international poverty standards, without adjustments for any political reasons. Are the poor being taxed in Nigeria. Putting in consideration the cost of education, healthcare, house rents and cost of living in Nigeria
@taiwoyedele Sir, you strongly promote taxation; can you also promote accountability and transparency by government (agencies) on how public funds (tax payers money) will be spent. Including the benefits for citizens such as UK, Canada, USA do
@taiwoyedele The worst is, many Nigerians donβt understand that the Tax is calculated yearly, meaning all transactions that pass through your account, be it from a friend to a grandparent. At the end of the year it will be counted as income. Not monthly or block funds but cumulative.
@taiwoyedele IMF and World Bank set the lower-middle-income poverty line at $3.65/day ($1,332/year β β¦1.94m). Why tax people who are extremely poor by international standards?
Also remember that you havenβt told us the benefits of paying this taxes.

Your Excellency, we appreciate your efforts in fixing our country.
We humbly urge you to use your office to enforce accountability across all levels of government, empowering citizens to question the use of public funds.
@grok For more than 30 years NNPC Chas prioritized the foreign interest over Nigeria interest, by intentionally refusing to improve or maintain any working refineries. With this, is it not better to scrape NNPC and open the floor for individuals to build refineries in Nigeria
@grok be realistic? Nigeria records for the worst roads, worst healthcare system, worst education system, even its political leaders cannot afford to send their children to schools or hospitals in Nigeria. So which infrastructure are you referring to. NNPC stole 210 trillion
@grok You are saying that UK tax, yes with its citizens in mind through subsidized education and health. What can you say is the benefit of Nigerians for paying tax and sells of crude oil and other natural resources
@grok Comparing Nigeria to other nations such as United Kingdom, with so many natural resources, are Nigerians supposed to be taxed giving Nigerian natural resources (Gold, Gas, Crude Oil, rare Earth)
@FIRSNigeria should Nigerians be TAXed, when they have already been taxed with the goods they buy via V.A.T. ; goods there sell through NHF, ITF, PAYE, CIT etc @ARISEtv@NGRSenate@officialABAT@PeterObi what happened to Crude Oil and other rare earth revenue. @channelstv
@instablog9ja Instead of paying that money to government, he should go to his state, home town and build one factory to employ his fellow brothers and sisters as Nigeria government will use the money to intimidate his friends and family
@instablog9ja Nigerians does not have business paying Tax, Nigerian government has never been useful in anyway to its citizens. No good roads, no stable light, no good policies to enable business succeed. There is absolutely no evidence of the tax payers money
Nigeria is the greatest Joke of all times. With its politicians being the joker, while the citizens are mere audience. prices of things can be hiked by over 500% and the nation is still calm?
Where are NLC & TUC?
