I wait to see which of these presidential candidates will be brave enough to introduce these 10 taxes to generate $30bn desperately required to fund our budget deficit

Ayo Akinfe

[1] An annual 30% tax of the value of every private jet in the country

[2] A 50% tithe tax compelling all clergymen to hand over half of all they receive in offerings

[3] A Dubai party tax that levies 50% of the value of any party Nigerians throw abroad

[4] An Owambe tax which attracts a flat fee of around N50,000 per party

[5] A luxury goods tax which attracts around N100,000 for all Gucci, Armani, Luis Vitton, etc products imported into the country

[6] A multiple car tax which charges an individual for owning more than one private car. The tax will add up to the average value of an extra car

[7] A multiple homes tax which will levy people for owning more than two homes. This will attract an annual fee of about N200,000

[8] An overseas health tax which attracts a minimum of N100,000 for health tourism per patient

[9] A head tie and agbada tax of about N500 which is payable by all adults who attend owambes
