The National Assembly has taken a historic step towards addressing multiplicity of taxes in Nigeria. A bill for the alteration of the 1999 Constitution to achieve this and related objectives has passed the second reading. Specifically, the amendments seek to:
1. Clarify the taxation powers of federal, state and local government to prevent overlap and conflict
2. Define scope of taxes and levies collectible by each tier of government
3. Prevent unlawful outsourcing of revenue collection
4. Introduce a ceiling on the number of taxes on income, consumption or property that may be imposed on a taxpayer
5. Strike out nuisance taxes and prevent the harassment of persons for the purpose of tax collection
6. Enhance transparency, fiscal discipline and accountability in the collection of taxes
Once successfully altered, this amendment will ensure that taxes are sustainably harmonised and the burden and related consequences removed once and for all.
We are grateful to the National Assembly for this patriotic effort to address a critical problem in our tax system.

Your grandmother stood in line for the polio vaccine. Your parents watched smallpox disappear from the world.
That wasnโt luck. That was public health in actionโcommunity, science, and courage working together.
When we celebrate progress, weโre not looking backโweโre fueling the belief that change is possible. Because it is. And weโve done it before.

Will *your* MP be there?

Hey Susan I was just replying to another democrat here but where do you live?
I plan on furthering the career of @AOC, a woman of
color really hated by Donald J.6 Trump & Republicons.

Divide And Conquer... I guess they'll keep dividing and conquering us but hey its just a skin color so does he

As we endure the disgruntled and aggrieved on the far left, or in the bizarre RFKII horseshoe, a reminder of how "voting your conscience" was framed in '16. However one now regards Mr. Glaude, this glib indifference to the impact of his message is eerily '23. How'd that work out?
