Lagos Generator Levy, Vat Hike, Fuel Hike, what next?

Hello Nairalanders,

Following the discussion on this forum on the introduction of generator levy for high capacity generators in Lagos, (http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-56262.0.html)

I think its about time we the nigerian people should do something!    


Based on suggestions we need :


Somebody who can channel our views and dissatisfaction with the levy in writing,     


We need contacts for the Guardian, MAN and other relevant bodies,  so that we can circulate our petition. 


I’ve not done anything like this before, so anyone who is familiar with lobbying and petitions etc,  your suggestions and contributions would be highly appreciated!.


Let’s get our voices heard; we the Nigerian people have suffered in silence too much. I think it is time for us to speak out.   This is not just about the Lagos levy, the recent VAT hike from 5-10% (and they intend to increase it to another 15% by 2009). Then the fuel price increase, are some examples of policies that would do more harm than good to the economy and the people of nigeria

You might think these things don’t affect us, but they do, with the generator levy, cost of  production will increase, and of course we the consumers are going to bear the brunt of that with inflation in price of goods. With the VAT increase cost of goods will go further up, and with the fuel increases, we all know what happens,   


Please lets not just debate and hope and hope, lets do something people.   


Thanks

nobody?  


people people we can argue  all we like, cry all we like but nothing will change until we do something!
