I hear Mr Buhari has presented the 2017 budget before the national assembly. By the way, I believe the only thing that is national in the latter is their jibiti.
But then, I would have expected Mr president to ask for the inputs of some patriotic Nigerians like me. We want the change to start with individuals.
Let’s start with taxing every meal that is consumed in a household. Even when I soak garium sulphate, I expect to pay some tax on it.
Of course, we will tax the drinks. It does not matter if it is just water. Alcoholic drinks will attract more since it is afowofa.
We’ll now go on to leisure. Each t.v. programme, radio programme, season film,etc should be taxed. For those who play games like ludo,Scrabble, monopoly, chess, table tennis, soccer, etc, there should not be any free lunch again because each set of each game must be taxed.
We are not forgetting communication. Yes, conversation with the world. We understand people now do business on the phone. That’s great. But, we will be collecting a fraction of what ever amount made. And it will be from the taker and the giver. Even if it is pocket money.
Of course, social communication will not go scot free. Those people criticising our government are free to do so only if they are ready to pay. Only friendly posts like this one you’re reading will be free.
As for the inner room, the internal activities going on there must be taxed. I only pity those who have several partners.
Then, the means of transportation will be taxed. Even, if a person goes to work on a bicycle, he will be taxed.
By the way, this is a very ingenious way of creating employment. We will have a ministry of busy bodies. This ministry will be in charge of the abovementioned internally generated revenue activities.
We are doing this because Nigerians have refused to understand the great sacrifices we are making for them.
We have reduced our salaries. We have provided power supply. Water is everywhere. Food is so cheap. Thanks to our improved agricultural system.
Unemployed people are receiving social benefit allowances. And as soon as jobs are available, we contact them. The system is running so smoothly.
Yet, Nigerians have refused to understand. That is why we have decided to tax all the taxables.
The change must begin with the ordinary Nigerian!!!
