We pay tax on commodities in Nigeria as well, though (VAT) is not pronounced , it is quietly added to the cost price of all commodities we all purchase unless you are the type who buys second hand commodities. if you are a businessman or a contractor person you would have known this. Make a search before you put something on a forum like this, please. How long do we have to depict our mother land. I found such a statement of your offensive on our dear country. If you are no more a 9ja please keep quiet. Lets appreciate what we have and whom we are. Naija,(s) are my people and will never run away from them like you, who don't want to live in Brampton 'cos' there are too many Nigerians, wrong perception,though. Brampton is not like Moston, longsides, or Clayton where you might have lived in Manchester. Do your search well about Brampton.
You can never discover if things runs in Nigeria until you are involved, unlike the western world where there are rules and regulations. Do you know you can file a tax return on the said commodities.why do 9ja people be bothered about tax commodities when you know you get your cash back.
I share same view. No matter how good any other land may be, there's no place where we will ever be fully accepted and feel belonged as Nigeria, even if you naturalize. Moreover, most Nigerians are law abiding and loving people. Whatever negative picture this country has now were created by only a few unscrupulous elements, which is not peculiar to us. Every country in the world have them too.
So it is wrong to portray us as tax "evaders" kind of. God will help us.
