This tax matter again? I didn’t expect anyone sensible to tweet like this sincerely, all cos they support a particular government. But for your own good, I will school you @OgbeniAdugbo I paid 250k as tax monthly in Nigeria but NEVER for once got any benefit for that tax, NOT ONCE SINGLE BENEFIT. Infact the local government will always go to my wife’s pharmacy to harass her for taxes again. Instead, I provided my water & light, rode on horrible roads that made me change shocks every year or there about, I queued to get fuel I would pay for every other month, etc. However, My first job in the same Canada you highlighted, I paid almost $1,000 as tax monthly. But guess what… — the government gives my 2 kids $1,100 monthly for just being kids (the more the kids, the more the money @ about $550 per child); — I see the doctor for FREE each time & whenever I see the doctor — my wife gets free antenatal care, scans and free hospital delivery when she gets pregnant — the roads are so good, I may not have to change my tyres in 7 years, not the shocks or get damaged by roads — if you lose your job, you get paid $2,500 monthly for being jobless pending you get another job These are just a few among many others. So never ever in your life compare the tax & the benefits of other good countries with that of Nigeria, Never. This is a subject that should never even come up for discussion ever again. And until Nigeria gets it right in leadership, taxes will continue to be paid by Nigerians & the corporations, & stolen by people in power. Selah
