Dear NLs, wont you be surprised with this? Or maybe I’m the one been ignorant about the fee in the subject. This is how Ifako-Ijaiye local government, Lagos state has been milking her residence of a fee I regarded as a fraud and illegal. The Local government agents stormed various streets in her environs late last year (Nov/Dec) going from houses to houses, giving them ultimatum to pay a fee they regarded as “Radio and Television home usage fee” and threatening to lock down their various houses on compliance failure (they even came with a police). This made me wondered may be soonest, we might be paying “pot and kettle usage fee” if not checked. I told my neighbors I aint going to pay a dime but to my surprise, with the level of education some of these residence possessed; they don’t have the courage to demand for explanation warranting the said fee. I managed to scan a copy of a neighbor’s receipt which is posted below: My question is; is there any fee as such? If there isn’t, when are we (as the governed) going to stand up and fight against government inhumanity to man at various governmental level. Until then, I will continue preaching “Total emancipation from all shackles and manacles of oppressions” Mod, can you kindly move this to FP for prompt peoples opinion. Thanks as you do so.

You pay for tv license in the Uk...but No one harasses you with the Police(you could actually do without paying it). Sadly the local content or channels in Nigeria shouldn't require you to pay such fees...PS it's not practiced in my state 1 Like |

UK The punishment for this is about £1000 fine. However, bringing this culture to Nigeria is exploitation. We hardly have good programs aired by our local stations. So why should an LGA embark upon this kind of idea? Sometime in the past, some touts claiming to represent Enugu North LGA sold stickers to vehicles with car stereo inside. Thanks to the removable car stereo, I evaded these touts. Everyday, the government is looking for ways to milk the citizenry. Soon, LGAs will embark upon Vehicle Parking Permits. However, the question we the citizens should ask is what are the benefits of these permits/licences? How would we ensure that the money is appropriately utilized? And who the fuçk did the government consult before embarking on these licences? 1 Like |

saintneo: UK is the only country that runs TV licence at about £140 year per owner for a maximum of about 15 TVs. In addition TV licence covers any LIVE program aired in the UK; in other words, you are not permitted to watch any live video broadcast using your TV, Computer(Desktop and Laptops), Tablets, Phones, YouTube, Internet, anything LIVE. My brother, they are just a bounce of silly people. All they know is finding ways to milk the pauper hard earned money without giving back any amenity to them. One day bush meat go catch the hunter! |

It sacrilegious,especially in nigeria where the fee collectors are going to share the proceeds after settling the ogas on top.It is a drive most of the local government officials use to make up for their christmas spending,it to comes very handy in january where most of them are skinned and they do anything lay their dirty hands on the struggling nigerians widow earnings.

The UK is not the only country that does that. As a matter of fact, there are 3 method of funding used in Europe. State media group are funded with levies, while private Broadcasting are funded on either subscription fees or through Advertisement. I do not know what the constitution says about the funding of broadcasting corporations in Nigeria, but I know the local government have been collecting radio and tv fees as far as I can think. I remember in the 70/80s that they always come in your house to control if you have paid. If you haven't paid, your TV set would summarily be confiscated. The old badagry local government (Ajeromi/Ifelodun, Ojo, Badagry?) used to be rigorous with collecting the fees, while the old Mushin LGA (Somolu, Kosofe) was not as rigorous. saintneo: I think the questions you are asking above are the right way to go about it instead of shouting APC are rogues like some young people here are doing. I think the money should not go to the local governments, rather the broadcasting organisations. |

The Radio and TV licences tax was instituted by the British government to monitor the prevalence of receiving antennas after WW2 and during the cold war. Spy transmitters and receivers were common and still used till this day. |

COOL DK: Dear NLs, wont you be surprised with this? Or maybe I’m the one been ignorant about the fee in the subject. Since the introduction of radio to Lagos have you ever heard of free broadcast? Lagos stopped collecting license fee at a point in time, they are going back to the books to apply their past ordinances. |

Ilaje44: Thanks for the correction on using the word only. From my experience most EU students I met in UK usually complained about TV licencing fees, remarkably they claim that is doesn't exist in their country, probably they didn't even know about it because they just left their parents home.....lol. |

Mayor_of_Lagos: Yeah no free broadcast, but what happen to d tenancy rate the government collect every year? Isn't this said fee included in the rate? What I belief is government like taking the masses for fools. |
