#PublishBillDrafts: Tax Bill Sparks A Campaign To Enhance Citizen Participation In Law-making Process

 Like it or leave it, one of the reasons it's so easy for a minority to cage the majority across the African countries is that Africans are deeply and widely lazy. Bitter pill, yes. But, until we swallow it and follow suit with ACTION, we are going nowhere as a continent. Why am I saying this? Imagine! A simple Google search reveals that Nigerians are not overwhelmingly seeking to see the original drafts of the tax laws that the Bola Tinubu Administration is introducing! This sounds like people who have made up their minds to have their future perpetually mortgaged... Then comes the #PublishBillDrafts Campaign The above is why we commend the #PublishBillDrafts campaign by LAFF Economics and urge every Nigerian to support it .  This is to call on the Nigerian parliament to always #PublishBillDrafts to enhance the country's democracy.

Via this approach, it will be totally eas...

Tax Bill Furore And Why Tinubu May Be Biafra's Best Friend

To start with, I have something highly praiseworthy to say about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today... Nigerians may hate the man all they care. But, there are certain rare virtues you can't deny the Lion of Bourdillon. One of these is uncompromising doggedness. To say it in simpler language... Anything Tinubu Wants, He Must Get It... I used to be one of Tinubu's biggest fans during most of the PDP years. I loved him for his tenacious stay in the opposition when hordes of the weaker politicians were busy cross-carpeting to and from PDP (with Atiku Abubakar holding the ace).
