@MRMANUPDA-qc2ws In the 1960s and '70s we had auto manufacturing: Steyr in Bauchi, Anamco in the East, Volkswagen in Lagos and PAN in kaduna. 1$ was 75 kobo (₦0.75) That means that the naira was stronger than the dollar. There were many expatriates who wanted to work in Nigeria, many marrying and settling here. The Saudi royal family used to come to Nigerian hospitals for their madical needs. You may be too young to remember but, yes, once upon a time Nigeria was great!
Heaven knows how much I love you senator Ali ndume... one of my greatest wish is to see you one on one just to say God bless u for standing by the truth sir
Senator Ndume has done a good job of going around the News Networks (Channels and Arise) to explain himself. I appreciate his view point better now. Smart man.
The fact that Ndume is talking about timing shows that he actually do not want the bill passed. How can any sensible person be demanding that a bill be passed when people are no longer hungry? Has there been any time the people in Nigeria, especially the northerners are not hungry?
@ We’ve passed that stage. Immediately Ndume began to manifest that much overlooked entitlement mentality, I sensed danger. The bill will be passed and heaven won’t fall. Tinubu will remain the Nigerian president for 8 years unless he dies before then. He’ll also decide who takes over from him after 8 years. Coupists would be thoroughly dealt with.
Taxes has never solved poverty in any Economy in history, from Greek to Roman and today economy. No job, Hyper inflation, devaluation of the currency and insecurity with food shortages you dey tax 15% VAT. Dumb economic team
@@kadimosenye8830wtf are you talking about? No nation has ever reduced poverty through taxes??? Are you serious???? Sorry bro but that’s one of the most idiotic commentary I have ever seen on such a topic. Reasons being that the actual facts says it’s the complete opposite of what you said. Literally every single nation that has ever successfully reduced poverty mostly by investing on social programs and creating a business climate in its rural areas with grants and interest free loans , was only able to do so with the taxes it collected from its citizenry so again what are you talking about? To be clear I do disagree with this particular tax reform bills my reasons are numerous but the most apparent is its failure to more broadly target corporations who uses offshore entities to receive payments for service they rendered in Nigeria, therefore avoiding significant capital gains tax. But to come out here and claim “poverty has never been solved with taxes” is the height of absurdity
I just love this man called Ndume, I see sincerity of purpose, wether wrong or right still remain my most brilliant, intelligent and committed Senator. Sir' your distinguishness is Pro Max.
Where was he when buhari was busy taking loans and miss managing the country? Was he not in support of rugga and water bills during buhari? Now that we want VAT to be shared accordingly, he is crying foul because the north is always benefiting from the VAT they don't contribute to.
Tbf he called out Buhari a lot and questioned if he was the one who made decisions at the Villa! The man stands up to even APC leaders. I’ll give him credit for that. Now whether he’s right or wrong is debatable. But he’s clearly fighting for the interest of the people.
I like listening to Sen Ali Ndume he's fearless, even the time of Buhari he fought him, he's not tribalistic person kudos to you Sir. May God bless you
This man should be appreciated. Tax reform is a money-minting machine for corrupt politicians. The money will still be used to fund their life style or stolen. I wish Fela is alive to release a song for them.
Ndume is part of the problem with Nigeria. He was in the Senate during the do nothing era of Buhari. What did he do? Did he stand up to the Senate Presidency of Ahmed Lawan. Did he stand up for the trillions printed by the CBN? He wants to be seen to have stood against reform in the eye of the North. It’s all shame.
@@kangiwa1635, this is the same challenge he heard during that time. Just listen quietly and without any form of sentiment. You will understand that he has the people at heart not like those folks you elected as Senators.
I totally agree with Ndume, you can’t be talking about taxes while the cost of governance in Nigeria is over the roof. They should reform the government- cut down cost of governance- stop globetrotting, fight corruption and show sincerity of purpose. Then we can begin the conversation of tax reform.
So we should solve all the problems with the Nigerian government before we talk about taxes? Then why not abolish all taxes until the problems you are talking about are fixed? Why have the taxes we have now at all if you think we need to fix the government before we can talk about taxes? Your comment is silly and mistaken.
Though i disagree with this senator but I really love his courage and passion to have the right thing done... I wish we can have more of him in Nigeria senate
I feel like convating into a Muslim religion just of because Senator Ali Ndume always speaking for Nigerians he always stand on the truth God bless you with more years in the Senate house 🏡
Allahu Akbar!, indeed we need such a person, in the name of Senator Ali Nndume, may Allah give you courage to confront such a tyranny Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyuum, may Allah increase for us like you in this blessed country of ours!.
Ndume is just playing politics and pandering to the northern region because of VAT. Contrary to his assertion, the bill is seeking to stop taxation of low income citizens and make big cooperations to pay what is due. If he is truly fighting for the poor and concerned about the economy, then this bill should be supported.
We know the truth, that in Nigeria taxes are treated as part of production cost. What this means is that consumers would pay the taxes which are integrated backwards into the consumer products' cost, with serious implications for commodity prices. In the end, the poor are still the ones paying more
this man keeps calling God. He needs to ve reminded that God has nothing to do with government. He has yet to convince me of the reasons he is kicking against the bill.
Ndume please stop deceiving many gullible Nigerians. Many Nigerians don't read and even if they do, they don't ask questions to the right people to assist them in better explanation. Please the Tax reforms and proposed bill is now the right time and its favorable. Am not a fan of T-pain but I support this bill. Some northerners in north don't pay NEPA bill and even Tax bill, how do you want the country to grow. Ndume is angry that he will be among those that will pay taxes for low earners. The timing is absolutely right on time.
Why is it that they never let him talk? Just allow him to speak, Seun. For crying out loud, stop interrupting him, please! What is your problem? Let him express his opinion on what the reforms should look like and how they should work. It’s wrong not to consult all stakeholders properly. This is how they removed the subsidy without consultation, which led to hyperinflation, and it's the same issue with the devaluation of the naira. Ndume's points are 100% valid. We need to engage in proper consultation, please. You cannot pass a bill like that; it requires thorough planning and consultation in order to build an effective reform plan.
@@sojiogungbesan5547Oga we have that bill is useless for now because if this government can’t show us the $20billion they saved from fuel subsidy you think they will do better with our taxes at this point of economy
The Senator is a very interesting person. He reminds me of the late chief Chuba Okadigbo, the Oyi of Oyi, who does not allow himself to be pushed over by anyone or under any circumstances. Ndume is a very vibrant politician indeed.
Yes, what nonsense should he read. You increase Petrol, increase Nepa, increase Gas, Increase Import Duty. They want to introduce Telecoms tax, it means cost of calls and internet bandwidth would go up. T-Pain is a tax crook
Only those with common sense will understand his points and his points are very valid. A country that is under going hyper inflation is not surpose to raise or increase taxes, when you do, it will affect the price of commodities etc.
Please, try to download the bill first and read. Please, dont confuse yourself with speeches like Ndume. The bill actually favour the less privileged citizens. Secondly, those lazy governors will tighten their belt to think outside the box of Abuja allocation alone.
Tax is paid by the final consumer. If you tax the big company more, the cost will be transferred to the final consumer . This is not a bill for the poor as claimed. There is no perfect bill, but the proposal for Tax reform and discussion is necessary . The politicians should put Party, ethnicity, religion, self interest aside.
@sojiogungbesan5547 I said "if". Due to inflation,devaluation of the Naira and the reduction in purchasing power of the masses, there should be a structured tax reform to face the realities. My main point is that all taxes are paid by the Final consumer. Relate this to inflation. Let fight corruption, reduce cost of governance by 50%. We can start from there.
@@ebasski4958 Reducing cost of governance is good but that should not prevent a good tax reform. The proposed tax bill is exempting Personal income Taxes(PIT) up to 800k per annum. What this simply means is that those in that threshold will not have any form of tax deduction on thier payslip. This would help increase the purchasing power of people within that threshold. Most of items that are vatable that would be affected by the proposed increase in VAT to 10% would not be basic items but more of luxury items the lowest income bracket earners would rarely go for so, it is 100% a bill for the poor also.
26:48 The PIB is one of the most important bills passed This statement is far from the truth. The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is not the most significant legislation passed; it took over nine years to develop and is now outdated. This bill still treats petroleum resources differently from other natural resources and fails to facilitate foreign investment or local participation, rendering it a waste of time and public funds. In contrast, the proposed tax reforms are far more crucial. These four bills aim to modernize our tax system, making it easier for businesses to thrive and attracting investments. They also seek to alleviate the burdens of Nigeria's cumbersome multiple taxation system on MSMEs, streamline tax payments for citizens, and make it difficult for defaulters.
Seun, you shud have asked him if it was a good thing for the PIB bill to suffer for almost 20yrs before passage as a way of trying to do consultations since he was referring to that stupid mistake we made as an god example of Bill passage.
I like the level of understanding between Seun and Senator Ali. Truly the timing of this tax reform bill should be considered carefully. I am amazed by how silent most of the senators are about this bill. Nigerians today are finding it difficult to access food and other basic needs. The thing is that, inflation is at an all time high, we want to live and not just be surviving.
Honourable indumi continuous the good deen you are doing ALLAH will protect you let them continue loyalty to the president not to their people the judgement day will come
The Senator lacks substance in the pursuant of shutting down a tax bill that he has not read. He needs to have an open dialogue and bring his ideas into play, he has already triggered his fellow lawmakers with his actions, even though he might have ideas that might be genuine, his actions has been determined negative. I would advise he consult with Mr. Taiwo and Mr. Zach for proper information about the tax bill, maybe he might change his mind going forward.
I fully agree with you. I went through the details of the bill, and I applauded it despite my usual criticism of this government that I don't like their wasteful ways. Ndume is using his endearing personality to mask the truth behind his grouse. It's all about the potential reduction of free tax allocations to his region on businesses not permitted there, notably lottery and breweries...😅
Yes Is low bcuz they're not making use of it in properly way, bcuz they keep embezzlement that's why u are seeing it it's low, the corruption is also at high place
Ali, you have a personal problem with the present government. Let the house debate on the bill and vote on it. the traditional ruler and the governor have a secrete agenda. the current situation benefits the governors and they want the system to remain.
I think the Honorable Senator Ndume needs to consult with Mr Taiwo or Zach on his doubts, He is mixing things up. He is not showing understanding of how Tax works.
Precisely. And he may know but chooses to mask the truth. He's simply worried about the reduced VAT allocations to his region from breweries and lottery businesses since they're not permitted by sharia law.
Mr Ndume is self seeking and noisy all time. He has been in the senate for years and now wanting Northern people not to pay tax and the South to pay to sustain the North. I was agast to see Northern governors saying the reform will affect them more. What they are saying is that the South should continue to sustain the North. What is needed is that the Northern governors should encourage industry and not keep marrying wives and not addressing out of school children issues. It costs money to fight insurgency mostly in the North (Bornu) which is expensive. Pay taxes to move government forward. Talk is cheap. Its time to vote Ndume out.
Ali should be more interested in solving the security problem in his state. If he can be more angry with the security situation in his state the way he is angry with tax reform, his state of Bornu will not be the way it is now.
Senator Ndume! Been realistic and consistent! Hope Nigerians are paying attention!
Like him or not Ndume will remain the most vocal voice in this 10th Assembly. I so pray he makes it again in next election circle

Mr Ndume is self seeking and noisy all time. He has been in the senate for years and now wanting Northern people not to pay tax and the South to pay to sustain the North. I was agast to see Northern governors saying the reform will affect them more. What they are saying is that the South should continue to sustain the North. What is needed is that the Northern governors should encourage industry and not keep marrying wives and not addressing out of school children issues. It costs money to fight insurgency mostly in the North (Bornu) which is expensive. Pay taxes to move government forward. Talk is cheap. Its time to vote Ndume out.
Seun always allow Ndume to speak. He is making sense.
Ali should be more interested in solving the security problem in his state. If he can be more angry with the security situation in his state the way he is angry with tax reform, his state of Bornu will not be the way it is now.
