 A taxing question

A lot of political controversy has been generated over the tax reform bills proposed by the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Those who welcome the reform have been variously described by financial and economic experts (including motor park/Okada rider economists) as forward thinking. Those against it have been classified as backward-looking, because they have loudly expressed a preference to stay stuck in the past.

Rich man, poor man

A struggling cabbie was assailed with slaps and insults by a high-handed politician.  A lot of heat was generated in the social media world where the majority thought he should seek redress.

But in our world, he knew he would be expected to grin and bear his ordeal with equanimity, while, on the other hand, his well-placed assailant would be expected to pervert the course of justice, or get a slap on the wrist.

Thus, knowing there are a lot of hurdles a man of his class would have to overcome to obtain justice, our cabbie friend jumped at the offer to exchange the pursuit of the case with financial and material reparations from his assailant. Wise man!
