Gary Lineker Leads UK Millionaires in Plea for Higher Taxes—When Will Nigeria’s Elite Follow?

I was moved to tears reading why Gary Lineker and other UK millionaires want to pay more tax. They say taxing the very rich would ease the burden on everyday workers. In an open letter to the new prime minister, 120 wealthy Britons call for a 2% levy on fortunes above £10 million. Signatories include Brian Eno, Richard Curtis and other public figures who believe shared responsibility will build a fairer society. The group Patriotic Millionaires argues this devolution of wealth could fund roads, schools and community projects. They insist success requires everyone’s contribution—not just ordinary earners. When will Nigeria’s elite reach this level of understanding? They still milk the system without shame. My God, when will this change?
