It is not enough to set out to overhaul all sectors of the economy; it is obvious that what is worth doing is worth doing well. The house have done very well so far going by the pathway of our National history of democracy, but still something is yet to be fix in place to actually maximize our present day moves towards sustainable development. The truth and necessary facts required to engender development needs to be rightly appropriated or things will soon get out of hands. Who are the sacred cows behind our present crises in the power sector?, who are the economic vampires that have make it difficult for the hype of our macro-economic achievements so far publicize not able to reflect on the standard of living of the common man on the street .

Government should Monitor the internet and abhor further Taxation

To ask the government to begin to collect tax for the use of the internet is like asking the same government to begin to take tax from individual for the volume of air/oxygen one breath per second. I will like to dismiss this motion as the greatest joke and most callous motion of this century. It is right to think of utilizing the population index of the internet, but in the actual sense of it, it is like charging oneself for eating food on your own table. Every activity of today world order is on the internet. All of us are hook up to the internet and come to think of the importance of this avatar in the business world one will need to think twice before subscribing to this odious opinion. The government should monitor the use of the internet but should not collect additional charges for use from individual in whatever disguise. Already citizens are paying for such directly or indirectly via the ISP Providers.


Every user of the internet usually pays for it directly or indirectly, asking the government to collect tax from users is a duplication of effect and an outright infringement of the fundamental right of the citizens. The economic matrix of the day will not get any better for the revenue generated from such in inhuman taxation. There are many things that the government is already taking taxes of various magnitudes and significance. The internet is here to oil the global economy from multifaceted frontier. The internet presently accounts for the record breaking efficiency of both the government and the private entities. The advent of internet has to a large extent affected every aspect of man’s activity in this ontological void-planet earth. It literally collapsed the physical boundaries that ones divided us apart into various cultural, socio-political and racial backgrounds. To attempt collecting tax for any service of the internet after charges have been taking directly or indirectly will be greatest undoing of our time.


I will rather suggest here that a slight increase be charge ISP Providers to augment for the revenue generated from other sectors of the global economy. More so, this need be done in such a way that the final consumers of the internet services will not face hiccups of some sort on the attempt to meet up financially. It is also expedient now for the government to rather get more attuned on the internet general governance in order to foster expected security of its users as new dimension of crime is setting in gradually. The revolution of the internet cuts across various paradigms of human affairs and as such it will not be out of place to suggest that some miscreant will be out to devise ways to take undue advantage of the unsuspecting teeming users of the internet. It should be cleverly stated that securities of the internet have much more impact on the world economy than securing the fiat to tax individual using the internet. It is crystal clear to everybody and must not be compromise for any reason.


Furthermore, lets not forget that one of the major setback of our present day economy globally is poverty which have kept the better part of the world total population in the digital divide and in total fiasco. To attempt charging extra tax on the use of internet is a gross departure from the United Nations Millennium Development Goal Number One: ‘Eradication of extreme hunger and poverty’ by 2015 and the under-developed Nations of the world will be further pus into obscurity. This will project the greatest for man on this planet as crime will assume the other the day. There will be wars unending and this will surely have a ripple effect on man. It will mess up the rest seven Goals of the MDGs of the United Nation. The population of the world in the digital divide needs to be attended to and this should be the heartbeat of the government instead of thinking how to manipulate the global population of internet users to record economic index jump amidst this mortal tsunamis greeting us all on the bare face.

MAKE MONEY NOW .... !! !!!


This is real , you cannot afford to miss out . I am only fortunate to say - i had the awesome priviledge to unravel this hidden pearel. I will like you to join in the building of the top Notchers and builders of the great future of man on this planet.

Information is what you need to turn things into your favour. victory in our today's world economy does not go to the man who has shelf of heavy certificates or who prays more than others, rather what is making millionaires out Men this day is on the air called information. Grab this one truth and 'selleth' it not.


Life is all about discovery of what you need so much that is in someone else disposal. God deliberately made it that way so that he can teach you to rightly associate with others who invariably have something to contribute to your making. A tree cannot make a forest. You need money to accelerate things like vision, business idea, and whole lot of others. But however, what you actually need at the moment is the man who breaches the link between you and the money , or probably your actualisation of your envious dream.
