People would quietly resort to locally safe-keeping their own cash..

Demand cash payment for goods and services.

No more 'I'll pay to your bank account' would be preferred.

Use ur mind bros and stop wailing. Jonathan was planning a all-round VAT increase to 12% before he was thrown out. This is a 5% for ATM related services alone. I believe it wouldn't affect overall transaction amounts significantly.

Thanks for this clarification my brother. God bless

The clarification is good. But the problem in Nigeria is that the banks will still do as they like after those clear transactions.

That is how stamp duty that should only affect current accounts, affected salary account and savings account of some people I know. If you complain nothing will happen.

So don't be surprised when they collect VAT for extra-judicious services.

My major gripe is not the collection. It is:

A. There is zero accountability. No one knows where the money is going to. It may be in CBN today, Ministry of Finance tomorrow, and used to finance PMB's junketing the next. No questions asked, no replies given.

Their own na jor to collect on the pretext that there is no funds. If there is no fund, can't you at least tell us what it is for? Is it to finance the budget deficit, or to finance the welfare scheme, or to bail out the states, or to fund the useless trips, or to pay for Aso Rock rent?

You've not told us what you are using the stamp duty for? You've not told us what you are using the 8 naira per liter of petrol profit you are gaining for? You've not told us what you are using the recovered loot for? Now you want to collect VAT? Tomorrow, you will come with another charge without telling us what you have used the previous revenue for? And Nigerians will keep quiet. Nigerians deserve what is coming to them. When clothe don tight them finish, them go remember say dem get mouth...
