99% Of Those Who Are Against The Tax Reform Bill Have Not Even Read the Bill -Jibrin

[@akinremiakinkunmi2315]

I love Hon Jibrin disposition on issue. He has an understanding of what he is discussing. Unlike some other person.❤

[@muhammadghaliahmed6793]

If you are educated, enlightened, neutral and open-minded, you are very blessed with a wisdom of knowledge and leadership to be a good leader. For your kind information, I am very impressed and pleased whenever I happen to listen to Honourable. Abdul-Muimeen Jibrin a very respectful Honourable member of the House of Representative of Nigeria. Its high time for INEC to wake up in it's point of recruitment process for our political/recruitment process of politicians representing us, both in the local level and the highest level without any bias of ethnocentric bigotry, rather, based on empirically verifiable qualifications, integrity and quality of leadership. There's a bright future in Nigeria, but if well managed by the patriots, not "foreigners " claiming to be 'NIGERIANS '.

I can't believe that I could listen to a full interview of a Nigerian politician, but I did for this man. He is intelligent, not bias, and has his facts. He kept saying' DO NOT SAY ANYTHING AGAINST THE BILL UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND IT'

[@murtalaabdulkarim2538]

But not everyone can read and understand going by the kind of education we received in this country and that's why rumours move fast and get easily accepted. Even those in the legislative chambers find it hard to read the document let alone the hungry teaming populace.

[@olusojifabuda2143]

This Honourable is from the opposition and the northern part of nigeria kano state to be specific and yet he think and speak progressively.

[@musaadedibu9316]

There are few among them that thinks independently and progressively irrespective of the region bias.. (more examples are Sen. Sani, El Rufai, Sanusi and few more) I am 100% sure those traditional leaders don't even have the bill and the majority of their representatives who even have it don't read it (e.g Ndume). Who is even shamelessly and disgustingly saying he doesn't have to read it.... Is that not foolishness at it's peak, and even a slap on the people he represents as a whole? I served in the north, and I am not surprised at all at what I am seeing, bcs it's part of the way their majority reasons. You will have issue with one of them, and without any enquiry of what actually happened by their friends and cohort between you two, they will just blindly and senselessly jump into the defense of their own, even start to threaten you immediately.... Tell me a community that reasons that way and grow... The North has extra numerous problems (not same in other parts of the country) within themselves that really need to be addressed.... And education is the backbone of it all.. Go and look for Sanusi Lamido Sanusi advise to the northern leaders in his first tenure as Emir, he enumirated few of the problems, but the bigger problem is even that, there selfish and slavery minded leaders don't want to listen to that..... Let's just go our separate ways by region... BIKO 🇳🇬 God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@agbadimusa9365]

If after national service all you've come to conclude is "lets go our separate ways" then your time in the "north" which I would believe was restricted to your area of service due to the prejudiced mindset you've of the area is unfortunate.😢😢

[@CollinsChiazor]

Abdulmumuni Jibrin did well in espousing the merits and dousing the skepticism around the proposed tax bill... its worth looking at the document once again by all well meaning Nigerians...

[@bigolu7051]

This was so much more informative than the nonsensical s Senator's Ndume interview on the same topic.

[@suntanglory]

I said this before, what most Nigerians disagree with is probably the best thing for Nigeria.Most Nigerians are not progressive in nature, they dont like change for a better society,they just want the status quo..Shanty roadside shops,dirty roads and the rest.Anything or anyone that tries to change that will be resisted vehemently.😅This bill is the right thing to do for progress of Nigeria.Value added tax should be based on comsuption.The tax does not accrue in the first place if people dont buy/consume the goods or services.lf anything,it will encourage states to encourage busineses,it will encourage states to be more open for business, welcome people from other region,encourage security etc.Which the current tax system does not address. Thank you.

Lagos state has the highest population of about 25million people from the remaining 35 states of the federation while Rivers State is the golden chicken laying the golden eggs for the country. So how do you argue against these two states from benefiting the most in view of these realities about them? How? Can we agree to break up the country once and for all?

[@thestrangers3638]

why is nobody looking at the data on VAT. More than 20% of VAT comes from import duty VAT paid at the point of entry (i.e Ports etc..). The question is then if a state like lagos is to collect 60% on all VAT from imports at Apapa, is it the country that is importing the goods or Lagos State. Lagos State cannot collect VAT from imports into the nation it is an unfair situation.

I think if this Tax Reform is passed into law, it will also solve insecurities in the North. If Governors know that without making their community enabling for economic development, then they would have trouble in IGR which will directly affect their governance. The issue of insecurity would then be solved because they know well that, they are now IN CHARGE for their state prosperity and not the FG... We all know thay the issue of insecurities in the north is more political than said.

To reform taxes, you must first protect what happens to taxes after they're collected, that'spreventing leakages or misuse and thefts of our taxes collected. Would you fetch water with a basket? Why collect more taxes in a system where people like Tulumbu and wicked Wike would splurge with your taxes on yachts, jets, fur coats, and alcohol? The proposed new tax regime is a pipe that would feed Tulumbu's Alfa Beta business. He's given his nephew at Oando our oil wells, now it's time to steal our taxes.
