Compare it to saner clames.

If you want it to be like saner climes, then Sanwo-Olu should in essence make every Lasgidi household pay a council tax of ....400000 monthly.

And every Nigerian should pay income tax that takes 30-50% of their income.

That's how saner climes can pay for and afford all the nice stuff you envy.

(But you guys will shout poverty...and show your laziness in challenging your government by saying they will steal the money. Oga...you are supposed to ensure, you and your feelow sitizens...that they don't.)

In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is King. Even if this number is stupendously low compared to the minimum expectations, they're possibly 100x better than their closest competitor in Nigeria. So, more grease to their elbow as they seek to improve.

That's how sad we are as a country.

The day you realize how Nigeria is poor, and why corruption even makes the poverty worse, and why the government is bad....you go see am.

Okay, let every city in Nigeria pay council tax of at least 300000 naira per household, per MONTH...to pay for decent city services like good public transport and good healthcare faciliutes , ambulance included.

(Nigerians will shout poverty and call me an agbero).

IN saner climes, they have good stuff, because they PAY for it. Nothing like selling oil and sharing money monthly as we do in Nigeria. .

Lols.....

How that one wan use concern Lagos now? Abi dem no get elected governors and other representatives?

Most governors in the country are totally useless to their states. These people should be held able for most of the nonsense the kings in Aso Villa are being blamed for. They'll just be in the position like total wastes.

Smh

The saner climes gang are already here.

True, we should raise standards. People are right. LAGOS emergency ambulance service is not up to standard for a global city like Lagos. But the problem is, Nigerians don;t want to do what is needed to be done to raise the standard.

It is always amusing to see NIgerians abroad posting pictures of better services there. We should ask them to post their tax receipts too, and ask how they feel about the money going out of their pockets.

And it is a lazy man who says we should not pay higher because 'they will steal the money' . In saner climes they are also that suspicious...but they use the suspiciousness to challenge their rulers...and that's why they cannot do nothing

Also, finally, saner climes don't sell oil and share the revenue. Saner climes run diversifed , strong economies. And pay hefty amounts in tax to get good service.

I don't know about you bro, but I pay my taxes. That is a basic civic duty and gulps about 20% of my income, which is close to what the average american pays. That does not include property tax and I don't get any tax free income for personal care, spouse , dependents or education. That's also how saner climes tax their citizens, No?

That's impressive..............

BenedictAbajue:

They need to. Considering the population of Lagos, their annual average ought to be above that number.

According to you is every citizen in Nigeria earning a minimum wage of 300000 thousand or above. If they are why not, you cant tax nigerians what they dont have..

Not again, 🤦🏾‍♂️ It honestly baffles me when I hear you people make comments that just keep pushing a bad and wrong idea about Nigeria and Africa as a continent. I get it, you don't like the President, no wahala. But why do you keep saying things that fit that same old story the foreign news channels love to tell ? The one that says Africa is just poverty, fighting, and bad leaders, and nothing else (like they don't have hands in all of these)

Have you forgotten we are young nations in Africa. Many of our countries only really started in the 50s and 70s. And it's even harder because we have so many tribes and cultures, which makes making big development decisions a real challenge.

Despite how those "saner climes" as you have called them are the same ones that divided us up, took our resources, and are still taking from us, we've still done well. Because you don't like your current leader you don't think we've made progress? You don't think having ambulances which is something we never used to have is development in the right direction? Okay they were able to take 44252 in 5 years, you don't think in 10 or 15 years that number would have increased? These ambulances are completely free and in some cases are heavily subsidised, do you think ambulances are free in ''saner climes''?

It truly pains me when I hear fellow Nigerians and Africans talking like this. We might not be where we want to be yet, but before we talk down on ourselves, let's those "saner climes." Go and read about how they struggled when they were just starting out. It wasn't always smooth for them either.

We can criticise and hold the government able but let's do it constructively and let's celebrate little wins.
I also believe we would have made more progress if we had a government of continuity but I still believe progress is being made and you have to live with the fact that the progress and development you want might not even happen in your lifetime.
Nigeria would be great! 🇳🇬

Why only UK ? Qatar, Kuwait Chile , Namibia, Botswana are always saner Climes and they they over Tax Citizens

You all what to enjoy what Europe enjoy but can’t allow government deduct 30/40 percent of ur total earning Shame expect magic lagos is doing a great job

When we are ready as a nation we pay the right amount of tax elect leaders then things will work gradually
Europe are paying this for decades it’s gradual

Una never start paying

Oga, saner climes include other oil producing nations like saudi, iran, uae, etc, how are things done there? This should be our model not places like UK without natural resources...... everything is not about tax, the crude with have what have they done with it that would warrant hyper tax on citizens?

Make una de lie small small.

Inside Lagos.. how?

No wonder Dem Dem see the place as Heaven.

No 5% er0si0n place get this kin services.

The worst LGA in S.W. is 100x better than the best there.

That means you have better odds winning the lottery than to receive ambulance in dire need. Truly something to be proud of??

2 people on average per day in a population of 19 million and growing. Thats a 0.00000102% percent chance of being attended to, which is why sane people dont even bother.

For the one writing an epistle against those seeking better, are you thinking for yourself or the people??

Does your country have a population less than 50 million and produce 10 million barrels of crude per day?

We can't be like Saudi or those nations..

Manufactured goods and services.

Educationalserv:
Why only UK ? Qatar, Kuwait Chile , Namibia, Botswana are always saner Climes and they they over Tax Citizens

Qatar...1.8 million BPD for one million people.

Kuwait...2.5MILLION Bpd FOR 5 Million people

Chille...a diversifed economy, not like your tinubu oil based economy

Namibia...also diversified, and also has lots of poor people.

Botswana...basically like Qatar and Kuwait with 2 million people...replace diamonds and platinum with oil.



Oga, you can't win. .


And oga, if your message from my post is excusing APC....you have missed the point.

Good, now you know why, and you know how we can get to a minnium wage that high...and it involves having an economy based on manufactured goods and services, and exported manufacturing.

Is that not what land use charge is for, and you will still pay tenement rate, build tax, planning tax, new town development tax... so I don't get your point.

Lagos makes enough to fund and grow the state, even with the low tax net. So the real question is they should stop playing politics and give service void of politics and bureaucracy that breeds corruption.
