Tax Reform Bill Resistance by the North is Not Strategic - Yusuf

[@mrnelson3855]

I never believed a brilliant unbiased man like Baba Yusuf is from northern Nigeria. God bless you sir...

[@diamondswit955]

Baba Yusuf speak so eloquent, intelligent with great wisdom. Well done sir. People like you we need in building a new Nigeria. Spoke nothing but facts and truth, I enjoy the interview is very educative

[@chijiokwuelvis7356]

Yusuf is a new generation economist and intellectual

[@charlesdove3703]

These are the type of people that should have taken the front seat in northern politics.

[@radiantimagestudio]

They won’t allow him😊 to

[@oyewumisogo4666]

You are the first brilliant mind I have seen in recent times from northern Nigeria. You need educate Ndume, please. He said he studied abroad, but the education he has doesn't reflect in him at all. He argues like an illiterate. He does said he hasn't gone through the reform but, he opposes it. He sounded like a very big fool.

[@henduby]

He knows what he is doing. They only get sense only when it benefits them

[@brunoday-Ok]

People like Ndume should be village palace secretary and not Senator

[@cosmashono7665]

The problem is not Ndume. The problem is lack of trust in the system. This bill should have gone through thorough discussion to enlighten Nigerians enough to see the merits. The rush hush approach to it does not help matters at all. And you don't need to sound condescending of the north to make your point. Saying this is the first brilliant mind you've seen from the North clearly shows how insular you are. Perhaps one that has never left the confines of the West.

[@extraclass650]

Ndume is an empty drum which makes the loudest noise

[@kayoo99]

After 1 and a half years rush hush Abi? Continune

[@chimdi_samuel]

The problem with this bill is Nigeria! A seemingly good bill will not work in a nation that defaults to corruption in literally everything!

[@homoeconomicus5711]

What is your point? We should repeal all laws and wait untill no one in Nigeria is corrupt?

[@chinonsoanselmovodile5283]

Arise news you should always bring this man to speak to issues. I want to listen to him all day.

[@kamalAminu-gp2he]

So bold and fair. With so much respect to Baba yufuf. 100% agreed with you.

[@buzzu4232]

They want to gather money for another criminal to steal. Where are the billions saved from the oil subsidy removal? Iran is an oil-producing country; how much is fuel price in Iran? Oil experts should answer that question. Until we establish the" Chinese treatment, "nothing will change.

[@chriseloagu]

0.36 Cents a Litre. OMG🤭

[@chiefs5822]

we paid emirates so many companies that stopped business with nigeria. we had 7 billion outstading ways and means debt. how much ways and means was owed by buhari?? how much did tinubu pay back

[@buzzu4232]

Where are the criminals who stole under Buhari and the current administration?

[@donlatinohits]

​@@chriseloaguyet iran is not a highly sought after country

[@BunmiAdesoye]

As usual you are proudly ignorant. Sucidy has been added to state allocations. Go and check your state if allocation has not been doubled

[@MattAlain]

I like the ending of his speech. We have allow too much vagabond to administer this country,

[@KelvinAbam-gg6jo]

This is the most brilliant response in this issue from the north

[@chiefs5822]

We need intelligent Northerners like this! or this country will never change

[@TAG-h6x]

Baba Yusuf has nailed it on the head, these are the people who should take centre stage in northern leadership and politics

[@abiodunobe]

Baba Yusuf, i agree with you completely.. make our views lnown after studying the bills withiyt allowing Mr President to be bullish

[@segunola6763]

One of the most eloquent and intelligent analyses of the bill I've seen. I could listen to him all day...

[@ikechukwuduru2757]

Baba Yusuf I give it to you, indeed your so intelligent with sound brain and mindset, God bless you for saying the truth.

[@francisogunremi7789]

This is one of many frank talk and view I have heard in recent time. Thank you sir.

[@fr.sundayikpe2096]

Baba Yusuf contributions is just apt

[@abd-el-fattahadeoni2304]

This man is a leader. So brilliant and intelligent

[@Iphie24]

Always a pleasure listening to this very intelligent professional!!!

[@NkeruwemEssang]

Thank you sir for this brilliant submission

[@nneesamnick2446]

Fine intellectual Northerner. Impressive.

[@musaadedibu9316]

Atimes when you see some exceptionally brilliants speak from the North (e.g Sanusi, Sen. Sanni etc), you have no other option than to accept that they are actually running the intelligence of thousands of others who have just settled to be completely myopic from the region. Also Baba Yusuf., I am your hard fan and also a subscriber to your channel. But I need to let you know the North has the largest number of beggers. Simple! 🇳🇬 God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@cerberusWAR]

The first Northern Elite with common sense and a nationalist

[@AlmusdafaYari]

Bcos he says what pleases you

[@Jointoday7y]

God bless you.y brother

[@chinonsoanselmovodile5283]

This guy is a genius

[@johnpaulcolumbus2765]

Very intelligent talk

[@saiduishaqabbagana6997]

Great great great 👍 talk

[@kingsleymichael4049]

I think if the FG said that every state should use their own inland revenue and submit a quota to the FG, it may solve this problem. Is there any need to share from other states revenue. Is this not the problem some states are not thinking of production to increase their revenue.

[@bashirubello9584]

The VAT is about consumption not production.

[@chimakalu41]

He is usually an intelligent man. Yusuf.

[@kangiwa1635]

Malam Yesuf made lots of sense. But I worry about Takia and woke propaganda. As a northerner that opposes everything, Is he doing this balancing to make a mark to become a governor or even the President in the future? Time will tell.

[@diamondswit955]

Thank you sir, T.pain master of strategy without strategy. T.pain should stop this madness and make Nigeria a productive country and not taxing Nigerian to death because he has made a comment that he will not stop until Nigerian feel the impact of his governance. I don’t know what T.pain wants Nigerians to feel again at this point 😂😂😂😂

[@ayantolasaheed7425]

Use your brain to think not your emotions.

[@diamondswit955]

@ you that have brain should help T.pain because Nigerians are suffering, joor

[@UchechukwuKalu]

The problem that is hindering Nigerian development is the kind of visionless leaders we hv in Nigeria,none of them hv a specific agenda where the want to lead the country to. They only smart in borrowing and looting back the money for themselves😢

[@kulchitskywright]

Did Baba Yusuf just call Northern Governor’s Almajiri Governors?!

[@chuksozigbo4431]

I have not read the tax bills though have seen snipets of it. However my concern essentially border on our having public sector that is very huge on corruption and lacking in fiscal discipline, even worse in this government. No matter how hard you try, our fiscal policies will not significantly yield intended outcomes in this atmosphere of corruption and weak institutions. I want to first see laws and policies aimed at reigning in the public sector rascality, block leakages, cut wastage, and I want to see efforts at building strong institutions. Only then you will have proper assessment of impact of economic policies before coming up with these reforms. To me, this tax reforms is like winking in the dark. Again, knowing how this government turned Lagos tax reform into individual behemoth laying pipe from state treasury to private account will make anyone weary of hidden details especially when his Lagos boys are the ones driving the process. Have we asked who will be the revenue collectors when FIRS is scrapped?

[@ahmadumark745]

God bless you my brother

[@heritageinnovationlab3264]

The is part of the independent voices that need to review the process and the product of the committee.

[@oladapoojuade509]

Fantastic.

[@Bellushi10]

Im so tired of all these unintelligent conversations. And my concern is about the journalists who ask these questions. Nigeria is just going round in circles economically. Until the Fed govt who is more than half of national allocation gets directly involved jn the micro economics every day Nigerian will continue to suffer while the useless talks about Macro economics continue all 4 yrs.

[@nannaomatsola3146]

The North has more beggars on the street. Nor deceive urself

[@samsonoyebanji2358]

Please team up with Peter Obi in 2026/27 election

[@oyewumisogo4666]

Why should we team up with Obi in 2027 general election?

[@300us]

U look like a new breed northerner but i know there are plenty more like you who are from that part of nigeria sir, there a few who bring politics and ego to the argument. Ure a sound mind

[@sulemanabubakar9305]

I believe the Tax reform bill is good but the problem is it has to be on the basis of equality...That what matter ...The reform will forces the state government to do more for their states...you cannot tax one things and leave another ..

[@ollinwa]

What do you mean by the basis of equality?

[@xfactor6099]

What do you mean by the basis of equality?

[@Hh7MdYTgAm]

He only beat about the bush,he didnt address the nitty gritty of the bill,he was even asked who the consultants will be and how much will they be collecting but he didnt reply but talking about something else

[@dareishola]

I want to hug this man. Replace Udume with this man now.

[@benmoonraker]

Yorubas, seems to be afraid of Ndume. We like Ndume, regardless... he's fearless and challenging.

[@Terratiger]

Why can't this team anchor The Morning Show rather than Reuben Abati and the other noisy fellows during the week. This is a more disciplined crew.

[@ramadanabusufiyan5952]

You guys are always talking about the big companies to pay more, did the big companies care to pay more because they don't care for these reasons. - if the government add ten naira they will add hundred naira on price. - some people are saying no tax on food, education so on but they forget that if you add tax on cement it will touch food education and so on. That's what buhari finance minister said when they want to add VAT she sai it didn't affect the poor, which is rubbish. The poor is always affected because they are last consumers.

[@radiantimagestudio]

If they increase they pay more tax

[@diamondswit955]

So there’s still people like this in the north?, sir baba Yusuf I really wish you can start a master class in the north to educate the northern politicians because it seems that all of them did not go through standard education, there’s a say that common sense isn’t common. You’re a great access to the north. This is not an insult to the north politicians but we can’t have such people and think we can build a productive nation. They all about their selfish interests.

[@ahmadumark745]

Pls can you tell me the southern politicians and what they have done? Yusuf is just speaking English nothing more. Just roaming around the bush. English is not a yard stick of reference. Mind you Tafawa Balewa was a Northerner.

[@samsonoyebanji2358]

This man should go for governorship of his state

[@ismailhashim596]

Who is this arrogant idiot, calling people unintelligent because they differ in a controversial national issues?

[@barnabaspaul5086]

The bill is a deceptive bill and should be rejected by all and Sundry. Moreover, this proposed bill is exposing the injustice, unfairness and inequality existing in Nigeria Political System.

[@ollinwa]

Justify your position. What is the injustice, unfairness and inequality behind the bill?

[@sojiogungbesan5547]

Be specific, what is wrong with the bill?

[@chimdi_samuel]

What's wrong with the bill, and what injustice are you talking about? Please explain?

[@khebylema5320]

Hello read the bill before you comment 😂

[@khebylema5320]

It is online 😂 it is a good bill for nigeria
