Nigeria copying the right things but not delivering their part.

Whenever I drive into any parking in major cities in America, I’ll pay a parking ticket. You can also find places without a fee which will likely be a stonethrow from where a ticket is requested but we pay anyway because those fees are highly istrative and channel into development and other services which will eventually return to the masses.
Lagos will copy the same approach, can increase the money anytime they want, then forcefully collect it and siphon it. Even when it’s obvious that the money keeps getting stolen of part of it is going into a personal purse, no one goes to jail, everyone just moves on…

Until corruption is limited, people will continue to pay for services,will never enjoy them and will continuously question why they have to do so and they have that right.
There are no regulations in Lagos, they can just wake up one day and place a certain bill on the masses and then loot after collection. It’s crazyyyyyy
sir , I just that one sloth who calls himself BIODUN 556 would read this but he reasoned slowly and is destined to keep suffering till death

Lagos state claims to generate N44.5B monthly and my question still remains, does it reflect on infrastructural development or does it impact on the lives of Lagosians?

Then the issue of taxation on car parking is illegal and unconstitutional.

Nigeria is still a developing nation and yet to find her feet, but the same government still wants to tax the poor masses.

The levy goes beyond roadside parking. Banks, eateries, hospitals, event centres, etc, would also be asked to pay over 200k as levy for their parking lot. Some of this businesses are already struggling.

If you people don't have money to do campaign or money to pay salary go and borrow money from china and stop taxing LAGOSIAN illegally.

Any levy can be made constitutional once backed by law. I only fear that Nigerians may be levied for the air they breathe at the rate things are moving.

After stealing all revenues from our natural resources over the years, and allocating jumbo allowances to thenselves upon leaving offices. Now that the economy is crumbling, the next target could be to tax every human and animal heavily to sustain the extravagant lifestyles of the few politicians that made the earlier mess.
This is consequences of voting lawmaker hand picked by one man. No lawmaker his loyal to his constituency that can challenge this draconian law.

You struggle with knowing the difference between fines and levy..and in your goofy state, you still had the unsoundness to call someone who can't be affected by the yeye law a rebel despite the fact that he's fighting for your uncles.

Then this should target commercial buses owned by LASTMA officers who go about picking engers on the road and causing unnecessary traffic in major areas like, idumota, CMS, Oshodi, Agege, Sabo, Yaba. And Iyana Ipaja just torntion a few rather than targeting to tax businesses that already pay taxes in various forms to the government angry angry angry angry angry

Lagosians should fight the tax burden in Lagos. One man can notbbe allowed to use your taxes to subsidize his owambe exploits. Resist them

Lagos State Government is now waking up. Apart from parking levy, lagos state must introduce congestion charges, pollution tax, high property tax for landlords who are renting houses to non indegenes and create toll gates at the entrance of the state. Lagos state is over stretched, everyone wants to live in lagos. That state is not the only commercial city in Nigeria so I don't know why people are leaving their region to move to lagos to inconvenient the indegenes. Current fines and penalties should be doubled aswell. Lagos must do everything to discourage people from moving into the state. This is why we need to go back to regional government.

Same way slavery was also "constitutional".
Being Legal doesn't necessarily equate to being "Right".

We will pretend that all agberos dey Lagos but we go ignore the ones for ANAMBRA.



Joevics:
Yea. Just like having agberos in every junction collecting dues is constitutional.
But it's called overtaxing.

Is this what you guys want to replicate on the federal level? Then Nigeria is in trouble.

What has Lagos state government done to help businesses and residents to warrant this high level of taxation?

Even the issue of traffic, you've not been able to solve for years, instead you toll the hell out of everything.

Just like we warned you guys with Buhari, we are also warning you about Tinubu. Vote wisely.

When they boast about increasing Internally Generated Revenue by 1000 per cent, this is what they actually mean. They actually tax the living daylights out of the citizens. This cannot be right. It may be constitutional, but it is not right. They are killing people with multiple taxation, sending their children into penury. We opened a roadside provision shop for my aged mother many years ago so she would not be idle. Ojo Local Govt kept bringing all manner of taxes, an aged woman who should be on the payroll of a responsible govt o. In sane countries at certain ages, you are exempt from taxes at the very least. We the children whose taxes were deducted at source ended up paying those taxes again. But there was no end to them. When we told them she paid one a few months before, they would say this one is different. The demand notice was higher than what she could ever make as a profit in a year. Na so we close the shop o, begin give mama chop money for house. And the road to the shop sef, you had to park your car and trek there anytime it rained. Govt of tormentors.

My problem is the common man, they will not talk, they will not revolt, the government doesn't like us, for them we are more like sacrifice to be used for money be it in taxation or ritual killns. All they want is dual citizenship, big homes abroad awaiting to abscond whenever the need comes. I'm pleading you guys to vote these monkiess out this time, let's be ready to sacrifice for this course. Let's end this ones and for all otherwise these dictators rulling party will turn this country into a war zone an hisbah territory if they are allowed in again. Nigerians wake up pls wake up.

Stupid government of copy and paste, they will copy country with the highest HDI indexes and paste capital cities of poverty

Nigeria minimum wages is the lowest in the world

Nigeria inflation rate is the among the highest in the world

Direct and indirect Double taxation from government

Nepal bill, minor traffic offence is more than minimum wages who does that only criminals government system of Nigeria

Naira purchasing power compare to minimum wages is evil intention from government to sink people into poverty

Cost of living compare to minimum wages is the highest in the world

That why Many Nigerians have mental problem the goverment caused it

That's good. Why are they parking on the road? Road wey no big, before and some idiots will be parking indiscriminately.

The state government is clearly usurping the constitutional powers granted to the local governments.
Which one is that there was a mutual agreement between the local governments and the state government. Where's the evidence of such mutual agreement?
This matter is justiciable and should be stopped by the courts before other states follow suit
