Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State and Labour Party Presidential candidate in 2023 general election, has joined the chorus of dissenting voices, lambasting the government for its decision to impose yet another tax on already struggling Nigerians.

According to Obi, the introduction of the Cybersecurity Levy is "further proof that the government is more interested in milking a dying economy instead of nurturing it to recovery and growth."

He argues that the new tax, which amounts to multiple taxation on banking transactions, negates the government's commitment to reduce the number of taxes and streamline the tax system.

Some commentators agreed that, Obi's criticism is valid, given that the Cybersecurity Levy is a regressive tax that will disproportionately affect low-income earners and small businesses.

Some argue that, the tax is levied on bank transactions, which are already subject to various other taxes, including stamp duties. This means that Nigerians will be paying multiple taxes on the same transactions, further eroding their already dwindling disposable income.

Moreover, the Cybersecurity Levy is a tax on the trading capital of businesses, not their profit. This means that businesses will be taxed on their turnover, regardless of whether they make a profit or not. This will further exacerbate the economic distress faced by many Nigerians, who are already struggling to make ends meet.

Obi also raises a pertinent question about the role of the National Security Adviser (NSA) in collecting revenue. He asks, "And when did the office of the NSA become a revenue collecting centre? And why should that purely national security office receive returns on a specific tax as stated in the new cybersecurity law?"

APC are making a mess of our country

Only Obi Bitters can cure Nigeria of these Useless BATerias

BATeria and taxation are inseparable

The government has never been on the side of the people. They only make policies that favour the masses when it coincides with their own selfish interests.

Abi o

Nothing wey Tinubu sorry Bateria no fit infect

Import duties have been slashed for essential goods and food imports.


Corporate taxes are either being waived or reduced.


Govt stimulus spending directly into infrastructure are being mapped out as against the previous unaccountable welfare system.


As for this Obi, in one of his yearly budgetary breakdown as Anambra govt, he factored fines totalling up to over a billion as part of his IGR.

Now you know why Anambra especially Onitsha was hit with multiple ticketing touts during his tenure.

Most of those funds ended up in the pockets of his touts and the vast majority went to his Pandora account.

When a thief is your president
.

okooo

Charging people for transfers whether they have made profit or not is another way of demanding ransome

Ribadu must be a cornfused NSA leaving all the insecurity issues of kidnappings and banditary to solve.

This obi is a good opposition critic. He is far better than the entire PDP in the game of opposition politics.

His only down side is that, he was a bad leader too.

Even his own people who are currently praising him now (for obvious reasons) testified that he was a terrible former governor . Internet never forgets, facts don't lie.

We love his opinion and opposition, at least it will put the incompetent balablu on his toes. However, we can't trust him with power.

He is not worth it!

BATteria's over to u guys

If you want to confess Obi confess him wholeheartedly and forget what the opposition said about him when he was governor.
He laid a good legacy as Anambra governor and majority of the people loved him and it is the same track record they have used to trust him today .stop contradicting yourself

Front page, oya.
I patiently await the clowns that will come and make this place wet with their salty tears. Awwww. Cry babies who will throw a fit anytime Peter Obi is mentioned.

They're already here, spitting all over the thread, and throwing tantrums like an adolescent. Awwww. Dunderheads.

Same Bitter Obi increased tuition fees in Anambra and declared that Education wasn't meant for the poor. This Agulu fraud is the worst lying hypocrite ever among humans.

He's an ordinary citizen and has the right to say what pleases him. He's just amplifying what every sensible Nigerian have been muttering under their breaths.

Chill, man. I sense that you're a BATIST...
I'm sorry for calling you a BATist. It's an insult on batists to call you one. I just went through your profile and you are a TRIBAL BIGOT, a hateful boy and all round an unwise fellow. You wanted to use style to insult Obi abi? Your folly will find you out. Rubbish upon ingredients.

You better find a way to stop your hate for Igbo people or better still, go to Yabaleft for treatment. If not, it may not end well for you.

PS: Before you think of quoting me, I'm a full blooded Yoruba man with deep ancestry and roots, so hold the trash that's in your mind right now!

That's why your daddy was rejected in Lagos state and Abuja state. LOL!

Your messiah was rejected IN HIS OWN HOME! They said he built Lagos, but he was beaten hands down by Obi. They rigged till they couldn't rig again. Your lord even lost his polling unit in Bourdillion. Haha. Premium disgrace.

Is this you You're tired of defending the dollar rise? Ozour, oniranu.


Your page is filled with dumb lies and posts, reflecting what you stand for - falsehood.


Oya, tell your darling daddy to please force down the naira, cos in case you didn't know, $1 is N1,400!!! In less than a year,your clueless messiah took the dollar from N400 to N1,400. That's more than 300% increase. They've banned Binance,banned crypto,banned everything. Yet,no change. This shows you that your messiah should resign,retire and repent for his evil ways.


Do you have a justification for this madness, or you'll spend your entire existence attacking Obi who doesn't even know that a being like you exists?
