Cool FM’s On-Air Personality, OAP, Freeze, has called on
the Federal Government to place 30% tax levy on churches
or mosques that collect offerings, gifts, tithes and other
revenues from their members, instead of increasing
internet data tariffs.
He said this after the Nigerian Communications
Commission, NCC, directed telecommunication operators
to increase the price of data tariffs by December 1.
Although the NCC had on Wednesday announced the
suspension of its plan to increase the price of data, the
outspoken media personality, on his Instagram page
@daddyfreeze, wrote: “Dear Federal Government, this
regime cannot be all hardship.
“The suffering is too much!!! So far, it has been plagued by
loss of jobs, hike in foodstuff, loss of value of the Naira
against the Dollar, hike in petroleum products etc.
“Increasing the price of data will be seen by the masses as
grossly insensitive, as this remains our greatest source of
entertainment, information and education.
“Instead of this, why don’t you place a 30% tax levy on any
church or mosque that collects offering, gifts and tithe
and you will be amazed at how much revenue you will
realize,” he added.
