The FG Should Tax Those That Can Afford It; You Cannot Take From Who Barely Has -Ndume

[@alexetimson6937]

Thank you Mr moderator for letting Sen Ali Ndume know that Nigerians of good conscience like and respect him. I am one of those Nigerians who hold Sen Ndume in high esteem for his steadfastness in speaking the truth to power. His uncompromising stance in the parliament over the years by speaking for the voiceless Nigerians stands him out among his insensitive and kleptomaniac colleagues. Sen Ndume has consistently proves that he is a man of conscience with human feelings. Sen Ndume, at all times, says it as it is, he calls a white, white. He calls a black, black, not minding the evil threats by his rogue colleagues in the parliament. When next you host the senator, tell him I hold him in high esteem. May Allah keep and protect him and his household always

I really don’t know what the people from Ali Ndume’s people are fighting for. Daily it appears that we are governing 2 Countries: the North and South. The North are just there to demand for whatever is given to the South as if we are in a competition. What exactly do they bring to the table? They are talking about the power failure. We have had this in the South forever. They have always had uninterrupted power supply in the North forever. They just behaving like they are special and Nigeria owes them. One of them was saying that they put the President in power. Well, the President made a big mistake of putting Buhari in power too. Buhari was said to have cried to President Tinubu for help cos it was his last chance. What about that?

Nigeria can consider Decentralizing the grid. The National grid might be too large to maintain, secure and manage. There can also be energy loss while transmitting energy to long distances. We can have State grids, LGA grids even grids as small as Ariaria Market grid. They are easier to manage and communities can take ownership and secure it becos they see it as "our grid" and not "their grid". Also foreign power companies can come and buy different grids and handle everything in the value chain from generation, transmission to distribution.

There lots of untouched millions in various bank accounts that's why the govt need to collect their taxes . So those who are poor and need government assistance should visit their LGA councils and file for unemployment benefits or bankruptcy so the govt can distinguish the rich from the poor.

If you don't file for unemployment benefits it means you are rich. So all jobless citizens should file or pay their taxes... You can't be secretly rich and not pay taxes . 😊
