zayhal: @Remii

Hope you were not duped. I paid N1500 for it and got receipt. It's N1500 per annum in Lagos.

in ogun they have list of tariffs to make life of unfortunate travelers miserable

Hardfact: It'll be real nice for any with right info on stuff to please speak up. I really wonder how genuine that is. Seems Lagos has been in business of re-inventing/exhuming long dead and buried tax/money spinning laws. Arent poor Lagosians gonna get drowned in these multitaxes?

that is the problem with law, so many laws are in law book that have not been expunged so any mischievous can and will take advantage.

What's the tenement rate all about again? Thought that is why we pay LAND USE charge.

I think I will sell my TV, I kukuma no dey gbadun ham anymore since I have quit watching bluefilm

How does eko ile usually say it

eko o ni baje o ... I said it correct, right?

azpekuliar: @eGuerrilla you beat me to that post. let's halt this ignorance! Local Governments are statutorily empowered to collect a Radio and TV license permit. It's a tax accruing to the coffers of the local government.

Pay your tax! Eko O ni baje o!

Yes, you are right. I have checked the constitution. But how much is it? How do they know how has TV or/and Radio? You just can't walk up to people and serve them notices based on assumptions. Haba! We go run for Nigeria? Na wa ooh

Don't bother urself, is when u need to get something doing at local govt council d will ask u for d receipt is then u will pay, it shd not be more than N500 per anum, just ignore them, d can't arrest u for such.

It's a legal tax. Not necessarily you own a radio or television in your home or office. Personally, Radio and TV taxes are rip-off by Lagos state govt.

Omo, I tire o.

I was served the same sheet a couple of months back. Mind you, I am on DSTV 2-4-7 and I hardly listen to the radio. So i asked myself on what basis I.diotic fashola and his goons had to serve me the summon. Most disgusting part of the saga was the threat to try me in a customary court. (Egbami ke)

Seriously, I can't think of any good achievement fashola has recorded in this second term of his other than to cause lagosians unneccessary hardship. Bas.tard

Does this mean I will pay for listening to radio on my handset or watching tv from my chinko phone? Omo we go fight gan o

what is the need. do u have electricity? tell dem to carry the tv and radio

If this one enter Abia State, na wahala o. Na 15k for plasma and home theatre, 5k for the others. I bow for T. A Orji.

Boyoorisha: I stay somewhere around Ire Akari, Isolo in Lagos. I got home yesterday and my neighbor told me that we have been served a criminal summons to appear in customary court for failure to obtain Radio and TV permit. I have not heard of this before in Nigeria! Please share your experience if you have been a victim

A television licence (or broadcast receiving licence) is official permission required in many countries for the reception of television broadcasts, or the possession of a television set. The licence is sometimes also required to own or receive radio broadcasts. A TV licence is generally a hypothecated tax for the purpose of funding public broadcasting, thus allowing public broadcasters to transmit television programmes without, or with only supplemental, funding from radio and television advertisements

Asaba man: I no kukuma get tv or radio for house

Those criminals no care 2 know weda you get or you no get, na only pay dem dey after.

u just come Lagos....this has been on since the 80's.

OP AS LONG AS YOUR LANDLORD HAS PAID THE TENEMENT RATE THEN YOU HAVE NO REASON PAYING FOR ANY RADIO OR TV PERMIT. THEY ARE ONLY PLAYING ON THE IGNORANCE OF LAGOSIANS. THE STATE GOVERNMENT HAS STATED IT THAT ONCE YOU PAY YOUR TENEMENT THEN NO NEED FOR ALL THAT CRAP. TRY GET YOUR RECEIPT FOR TENEMENT PAYMENT IT IS BOLDLY WRITTEN THERE.

in my own area we pay for tv and radio permit last year but i have not hear from then dis year ooo infact when i heard it i was so shock and i ask people in dat area dey said dat is how they having been paying it very soon we will be paying for phone usage

its paid in the UK as well, once u buy a new tv. The retailer would send your details to the authorities.

eGuerrilla: @OP, I was completely ignorant about this particular requirement until you mentioned it.

They should be reminded that my chinco phone get radio, my laptop has internet radio, I watch onlineTV on my desktop, my car carries a DVD and a radio............ How much is my bill, tell you, this should be abolished; is there any reason why the local governments are in existence? You only see them close to reelection...SMH.

Remii:

in ogun they have list of tariffs to make life of unfortunate travelers miserable

So, what does this portend for travellers to Ogun state and other ACN states, na by force to generate revenue?

As the Tax Accountant for my company, I handle this for my company.

It is payable to Local Government Council.

On personal level, I have never paid. On my way to Kwara at Ogun state during the last sallah, they mounted roadblock for that purpose but I sped past them.

^ok this is getting more ridiculous. Wait! They expect you to pay then carry the reciept about?haha.

@zayhal, salams. I'm fine and around dear.

legal

This is not a new thing at all. Media licensing had been in the books for decades it just had lapsed and never enforced. Lagos is bringing back its enforcement.

The Western Region, back when it had the WNTV (first tv station in Africa) and WNBC (first radio statiin in Nigeria), raised its own revenue through licensing. If you did not pay you will receive a citation plus carry a debt and if you are delinquent your receiver will be shut off.

This was back when there were inspectors and regulators and enforcers and the society was orderly and bureaucracy worked. In Lagos, a lot of the enforcement was done by the LCC - Lagos City Council.

How did I know this? lol, I saw this old redifussion box my grandfather owned and started asking questions about it. I got plenty education on it. It had only one channell by the way..... They had a theme drum when it was time for Irohin - news and it went like this...... ninu ikoko dudu lati'n se 'be.
