VIDEO: Taxation system shouldn’t be extortionary — Sanusi
Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, recently emphasised the importance of sensible taxation during his speech at the 2024 Rivers State Economic and Investment Summit held at the Obi Wali International Conference Centre in Port Harcourt. Sanusi stressed that taxation should not be extortionary and should aim to promote growth rather than burden citizens. Quoting the late former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Sanusi stated, “No country has ever taxed its way to prosperity.”He elaborated that while taxation and a comprehensive tax net are crucial, the approach must be streamlined to avoid stifling economic growth. He argued that the government should focus on taxing growth rather than merely targeting income. WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW:ALSO READ THESE TOP STORIES FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNE

One Big Chart: how does the cost of nuclear power compare to renewables?
Electricity from nuclear power would cost Australia significantly more than generating it from solar and wind, according to the CSIRO. The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has revived the idea of Australia lifting its restriction on nuclear power, but has yet to provide any details apart from suggesting large-scale nuclear reactors should be built on the sites of decommissioned coal power plants. This chart draws from the CSIRO’s latest GenCost report, which estimates the cost of building new electricity generation and storage. Nuclear power from either large-scale reactors or small modular reactors (SMR) is far more expensive than electricity generated with renewables, according to the report. This is the first time the GenCost report is estimating the cost of large scale nuclear reactors in Australia.

What truly is our problem?
“Dad, what really is our problem?” My business-owner 24-year-old son asked me recently. What does Joshua mean by ‘our problem’? Readers, millions of Nigerians dispersed across the globe, and many non-Nigerians walking the terra-firma often ask the very question my son asked. The day civility returns to the Nigerian civil service, Nigeria’s corruption problem will end. What truly is our problem as my son asked me?

The Best Canned Wines Right Now
When we last surveyed the canned wine landscape, back in 2021, we didn’t really know what to expect. As I observed at the time, situating this revolution within the wider rise of natural wine, canned wine has exploded into a full spectrum of styles, from piquette to pét-nat. Overwhelmingly, the options now include a disproportionate number of natural wines. And if making wine more accessible is central to the movement’s mission, what could telegraph those ideals better than a lovable, chuggable, low-key can of the stuff? Each wine that made our final cut succeeded not only as a high-quality wine, but specifically as a high-quality canned wine.
