People will be dropping calls before 3mins and then call again so no tax.

Why not tax on cars, churches, estates ( at least that would stop wastage of resources we see littering all around abandoned). private schools etc.
Na only poor man them go everly dey target
Mon kiss!

These people sha

THIS MAN IS NOTHING BUT AN OPPRESSOR, HE KILLED THE NAIRA AND THE ECONOMY WITH HIS TRIAL AND ERROR POLICIES, NOW HE IS ASKING FOR THE HEAD OF HAPLESS NIGERIANS TO MAKE FOR HIS BACKWARD MONETARY POLICIES. HE SHOULD BE RESIGN.

Quick question please house. Don't we already pay a VAT on the recharge cards we buy? This is a government that is inclined to add extra burden to our yoke.

2019 is fast approaching

What is wrong with this man sef. The govt already taxes our recharge by 10 percent and now they want to tax even our calls?

What sort of stupidity is this?

Efimile or wateva ur name is......

Exactly! This is nonsense and we are letting them get away with it. They will soon start taxing us on the commodities we buy in the market, just watch.

So the era of Bros I beg pls call me back don dey load be dat o.

And is he not aware Nigerians callers often use a minute or two to greet/felicitate with one another before going into the nitty gritty of the call?
Like... Yemi bawo ni o? Phone e ti n ring latekan o je gbe abi o wa ni kitchen ni.?
Se alafia ni gbo ile wa o awon omo mi nko?

Mo ri iya morufu Lana o ti e bere e. Hello hello kilo so? Ok ooto loso ki olorun saanu wa o. Eku recession o ki olorun gbawa lowo ijoba buhari o.


But seriously this government is making governance a rocket science.

you are definitely right , in UK most people hardly make calls with land lines and the young people hardly make voice calls with mobiles so this plan will eventually backfire as most users will move to data calls using different apps or just plain texting .

KINGwax007:
The thing is: u can't just open ur mouth and borrow western solution and expect it to work. Just like NOI advises buhari to increase TAX and VAT, just the way the wests used to do whenever they are hit with cash crunch..

because UK has turned its voice calls into luxury and her citizens have resolved to using WhatsApp call, abandoning the hpnewly highly taxed voice calls, doesn't mean we shld do the same.

Why not start by reducing the coat of governance and see?

But, if you wish to do that, I get IMO, WhatsApp, Google duo and line... E no go matter, I am always online...and my Mtn na baba when it comes to network reception..

When will PMb listen to the electorates for Nigerian sake? Get rid of this and replace him with someone much more experienced.Hes talking about generating more fund...AND WHAT HAPPENED TO REDUCING OVERHEAD INCLUDING ALLOWANCES AND BENEFITS FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDENCY CABINET, SENATE, BOTH UPPER AND LOWER HOUSE.?

YOU ARE NOT RICH BY WHAT YOU EARN BUT BY WHAT YOU SAVE DAMMIT!!!

THIS EMEFIELE is among those responsible for Buharis led administration,to keep losing citizens and voters confidence with most of his horrendous trial by error ideas and policies. Not one hardly work out or yield positive results that benefits the citizens....not one.

Hes better of running a parastatal like tourism please, haba mana!

Mtcheeeew! They should just tell us to be working and they should be collecting all our salaries.

Soon they would tax us for inhaling Nigerian Air.

May God Save Nigerians

When is that Slave Boat coming again sef

This people are just looking for ways to kill the common man

YourNemesis:
Don't try rubbish if you don;t want to see the mass finally revolt oooo..... !!

Nothing will happen! Nigerians will only rant on the internet.

No be today government start dey treat una like shi.t!

Fella sing am: "my people too dey fear.......i no wan die, I get one child, mama dey for house"

diehard1:
People will be dropping calls before 3mins and then call again so no tax.

Exactly. And some people will just summarize what they want to say within 3 minutes and end the call. It's just a thoroughly bad idea.

Seun:
How can the chief economist of a country think that raising taxes on long phone calls, which will depress spending, telco revenue, and ultimately telco jobs, will help an economy in recession? Where does Mr. Emefiele get all his bad ideas? How can one man have so many terrible ideas?

Greatzeus:
Gatto be kidding me how much will that generate for the government that will stop recession.
Well,me I dont make calls for 3mins ,team 30sec

Even with all the money in the world ,these clueless government and their ministers will still put us in recession.

If this story is true? I am compelled to vent. This man has lost it.

So sad. Why not go further by taxing the air the populace breathe.

You can even import meters to sell to the people to effectively bill the air they breathe in and fine them for the excess production of co2.

They need to find a way to push this man out. See his ideas? The phone companies are already taxed, and they pass this tax on to the consumers. That is enough. Which one is this again? I think the talent we have in CBN should be reviewed. All the heads of department should be investigated, and pushed out so the country can move forward.

First, they wanna tell us how to spend our money. Now control us. We can't pay for your incompetence. Vote truly educated people, Nigerians won't listen.

All trial and error folks out there.

Emefiele the dumb.ass


You cannot outsmart Nigerians. Enforce this policy and expect all calls to end 2 min 59 seconds.

It is clear that if Buhari and his allies do not destroy this nation with ineffective fiscal policies, the CBN will through weak and negative monetary policies.

And the eedeeyot never mentioned anything about the reduction of his salary, allowances and the number of cars in his motorcade. Abeg, make we hear word jare!

Very stupiid man.

Blue3k:
Why not cut spending and reduce taxes. These guys want to bleed to citezens dry. It doesn't make sense. Can anyone tell me a service the federal government provides that you're very satisfied with?

Lying. The government is very good at that. They are second to none.

Pushing the blame to Jonathan.

Ole come and collect it..
Phone tax ko...

uboma:
Another display of incompetence by the CBN governor, Emiefiele.

Very incompitent. Look at where and how he wants to raise money from? I keep telling people that it appears God is using this govt punish us

Oloriburuku ni man yi sha...

I used to think that if we are no more dependent on oil our problem will be solved so I always want oil to be useless. now I can see clearly that if anything happens to oil our government will be the one bringing gun to our house at middle of the night to rob us

See big joke...

Bro, you are wicked o.

You have just given them an idea of what to do next.

Right from when this man introduced all forms of unscrupulous atm charges, this man has never impressed me. I am not surprised.

All the tax they have been collecting what is the money being used for?


Nothing.


One day these people will ask us to pay tax for the air we breathe.
