Thank you Sir Reuben for enabling our view on "Tax Reform Bill" presently causing National controversy. Firstly I want to start by saying you have a wonderful guest in person of Orji Philip, his contributions and intervention are open. The Nigeria people have actually demonstrated lost of trust on the FIRS, if that is no tackled, tax will go back to old method collection "enforcement" which is expensive to maintain. Let there be an Agency to inspect tax receipts, report to senate committee on finance, defend tax payers right, and above all, this agency will grant us membership into the OECD UNDP TIWB automatic data sharing, where where we can earn our $50B annual fare share from international Tax. So that there will be enough money and VAT increment will be abolished, enough of operating Tax in isolation and embrace globally best practices in this modern economy.
Thanks for the breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Sir, the only Way out of this Tax issues is Accountability and Transparency and the one way out is by passing and signing Independent Revenue Inspectorate Agency of Nigeria Bill into Law for an independent AGENCY that will be working OECD for automatic information sharing that Nigeria is loosing minimum of $492Billon every Year sir.
This so-called Tax Analyst to Northern Nigerian States is speaking with both sides of his mouth. When he's saying Lagos is not wiser because of the Sea, he could as well extend the discussions to 13% derivation principle granted to Oil Producing States as Revenue in the constitution. He is just being disingenious with the truth. He can't be drawing parallel that "God made water to pass through Lagos" , he's just a funny guy. It's a disappointing submission from guys like him.
Igbos should stop abusing Dr.Reuben Abati Please check yourself and see that necessary adjustment is made in eastern Nigeria I love Ibos But some of your people have done so much harm to your region as well as to country outside our shores So of your youth are too hungry,anxious to get rich quick thereby soiling the name of the country in the process and we are all Nigerians nobody will say southeast but Nigeria Please leave the gentle man alone Work on your children and culture
He supported Peter Obi with whole hearted, but only making reference to a pass stament from dead stament, what follows next all igbo declared war against him. For me, we are leaning more.
The government can't devalue and float the Naira and base a tax system on this devalued currency. It is dishonest for the tax experts to compare Nigeria to South Africa. South Africa has not made its currency useless through devaluation like Nigeria. And Abati stop this nonsense of misrepresenting what some Northerners are saying about this proposed tax system. I am not even sure you understand very much about taxation which is not your area of expertise.
This man is just talking without making a point he is just saying his mind that doesn’t relate or address the question asked, I don’t think he has read through the bill before talking about the issue all want he is trying to do is to fault the government effort what about the part that stopped the low salary earners from paying taxes the part that omit the business from paying tax.
Why should he apologise to Orjy, he has a right to his comment and it was orjy who wanted that trouble. Last week there was no orjy, did Arise TV not do what's trending and honestly it was better if you will have conscience enough to say the truth.
Reuben, where did you get this Singapore trained confused tax economist... Singapore, is this how you train your graduates? Singapore you don train person o...
Let's think the other way, if this reforms where Not 90% in favor of the Yoruba people (Lagos mostly) ,Would this bill had come up ??? Sincere answer: A Regional Autonomous System of Government is the Solution .
VAT is a consumption tax or sale tax. The North has a high population meaning they consume more than other regions. Based on consumption the credit would be given to the state where it's consumed, it's no longer one state again.
You don't follow the news I can see. Rivers State under Wike took the FG to court during Buhari, and the FG won against Rivers. Only Lagos and about three other states supported Rivers. No SE state supported it. So why single out Lagos?
This guest hasn't nothing to offer! So tax inspector is panacea to all the tax problems! He certainly doesn't have knowledge about the broad fiscal and tax issues! He is selfish and has axe to grind with Taiwo!
He really needs to address the elephant in the room. He was rude and very unprofessional in his utterances. He needs to apologize. An apology will not change his person, we already know his proclivities. Mr PHD without decorum. His behavior shows one can be intelligent, yet ignorant in many ways!
Apologize for reporting what someone told him? He never said that was his believe, he was only reporting what was told to him by TOS Benson. Meanwhile, just before that he spoke in favour of the Igbo people. We must not all follow the horde.
It’s not what he said, but how he said it! This is what myopic minds can’t understand. This is an example of the danger ⚠️ of a single story!! Common sense is not so common.
@estheraleghe3301 you and others like you are overthinking. Thats all I gat to tell you. Who are you to want to control how someone will say something? Myopic minds indeed.
This man is another Peter Obi replica 😂😂. Simple question they ask you, you’ve drag in Canada, Ghana, California you even tell us how you sent a memo to FIRS to change the name from FIRS.. nawa oo
Is that your problem with Peter Obi...I guess u have a problem with knowledge ...the one when say na statistic we go chop na that one u like ...where r we now?

I thought I am the only one who felt as such, he even mentioned AI. Reuben should be very angry now. This man is off point, his answers are not specific, he was beating around the bush and circumnavigating.😂😂😂
Why is the North fixated on VAT that constitutes only 3% of the country's tax revenue?

Ruben is tired 😂😂😂😂
Please mr Abati kindly invite mr Taiwo to this channel to explain in lay man term what some people finds difficult to understand .
Or bring forth a convergence of all those opposed to the bill to hear their grievances.
This is a welcome development to me
That Abati is the mc oluomo of AriseNews 😂😂😂😂
This guy is all over the place...what are benefits of much needed structure. Nigeria needs a structure. Period.
Well done Dr. Kindly send the link, I will love to follow you next week

Igbos should stop abusing Dr.Reuben Abati
Please check yourself and see that necessary adjustment is made in eastern Nigeria
I love Ibos
But some of your people have done so much harm to your region as well as to country outside our shores
So of your youth are too hungry,anxious to get rich quick thereby soiling the name of the country in the process and we are all Nigerians nobody will say southeast but Nigeria
Please leave the gentle man alone
Work on your children and culture
Nigerians always have different millions of opinions on different issues. That’s why we are not moving forward.
He supported Peter Obi with whole hearted, but only making reference to a pass stament from dead stament, what follows next all igbo declared war against him. For me, we are leaning more.
See Igbo and run 😂😂😂
Oga answer the question the presenter asked, you are shooting off point. Reuben should be disappointed in you.
The government can't devalue and float the Naira and base a tax system on this devalued currency. It is dishonest for the tax experts to compare Nigeria to South Africa. South Africa has not made its currency useless through devaluation like Nigeria. And Abati stop this nonsense of misrepresenting what some Northerners are saying about this proposed tax system. I am not even sure you understand very much about taxation which is not your area of expertise.
Apologize to whom and for what, please kindly stops all this nonsense from your tribalism nonsense from South East. There's nothing to Apologize for.
This man is just talking without making a point he is just saying his mind that doesn’t relate or address the question asked, I don’t think he has read through the bill before talking about the issue all want he is trying to do is to fault the government effort what about the part that stopped the low salary earners from paying taxes the part that omit the business from paying tax.
Your visitor is not listening to your question. He's just talking out of contexts
Have you apologised to Ogy?
Stop whipping sentiments & sounding like a broken 💔 record ⏺️, please Just focus & work to improve on urself more ..!
Why should he apologise to Orjy, he has a right to his comment and it was orjy who wanted that trouble. Last week there was no orjy, did Arise TV not do what's trending and honestly it was better if you will have conscience enough to say the truth.
Give the apology on his behalf

Hater of a whole tribe.
Especially when the tribes lack moral and ethical standards and values…Dr Abatti tormentor of idiots and unethical people
This guest hasn't nothing to offer! So tax inspector is panacea to all the tax problems! He certainly doesn't have knowledge about the broad fiscal and tax issues! He is selfish and has axe to grind with Taiwo!
WHO LISTENS TO A BULLY!!!! Poor character!!!! You can’t be popular with rudeness!!!! Never possible 😑
Millions of intellectual and diligent people who are interested in facts and not sentiment
He really needs to address the elephant in the room. He was rude and very unprofessional in his utterances. He needs to apologize. An apology will not change his person, we already know his proclivities. Mr PHD without decorum. His behavior shows one can be intelligent, yet ignorant in many ways!

Na wa for you people
You're not ok, wailing wailer. I believe the persons involved have settled their differences but you're here crying more than the bereaved.
