We Always Mean Well for the Country, But NOT for the People!


Please, let’s get something right. There’s no leader who has ever ruled Nigeria that has ever meant bad or evil for Nigeria. None!!! They have always meant well for the country.
But for the people? That is a subject for thought and deep consideration. It is one thing to mean well for the country and another to mean well for the people you are ruling.

Taxes and Social Welfare in Nigeria in face of Covid-19


During the current COVID-19 lockdown, Nigerians who have never paid tax in their lives are mouthing off on social media left, right and centre that government should feed them, yet they haven't contributed a penny to the commonwealth in decades for years of earning quite a good income from being taxi drivers, hauliers, cafeteria owners, event planners, musicians, artisans, mechanics , school owners, landlords with multiple houses and so on and so forth. Yet benefiting like everyone else from the disbursements from the federal government by way of access to road, school, security, health facilities (poor and inadequate it may be), border control, army protection, provision of airports and seaports and all others services provided by the federal civil service.
