May God help my country.

Na this one dem go take fail election last last.

Useless people.

Any state that makes it illegal to sell alcohol should not be allowed to touch money raised.

Cigarette smokers and alcoholics Won't like this

The Islamist have struck again.. Smh
Buhari is slowly implementing Sharia laws across the southern States. Why they didn't just do this for their northern Emirates goes beyond me.

Everyone will switch to ogogoro and jedi. Come and tax that one.

shebi na southern Nigeria go still pay the tax,because na only us dey consume alcohol, what about the fulani herdsmen that the government are looking for colony for, those one are tax free,every economy dividends this country depends on come from the south,yet they won't let us be.

......Make I start ..............

wow..
Great idea.

cigratte should be 100 per stick
beer: 550
Condoms : 600...per sachet

Sanitary pack(always) ...100

Its high time we know things to make cheap in this country!

lubbish!

She should add Suya to make it complete.

Sharia: aim is to discourage drinking. We are getting close.

I Zombie supported the APC government and despite all their shortcomings I have still given our support but if they 'play this rough play' WE WILL NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY!!!!

Kemi Kemi Kemi, Hw Many Times Did I Call U? U Dey Craze! If I Slap U Ehn, U Go Feel Am 4 Ur Stupid Soul. U No Sabi Anythin Na Only This One U Sabi Ko? Me And U Go Wear One Trouser If U Try Am. Pigshit

This woman has shown to be clueless, dumb, confused, unthoughtful and braindead. How could she impose tariffs on our beer. Within a space of two years in government, the price of my popular brand increased from 150 to 250 per bottle. And now the stupid lady wants to increase further the prices. The amateur wants to adopt every policy both the ones feasible and non feasible in order to fund the economy while the currency continues to deplete further. What a misplaced priority.

Is Nigeria really the highest alcohol consuming nation in the world?

Lol apc, they will not spare you. People are depress! The only means of excape for those without God, apc Don fine them reach there tooo.

Cigarette is a coverup for wot Nigerians are really smoking.

For alcohol, there are too much versions in Nigeria to worry abt d imported ones; let start with burukutu sha we?

Go ahead and raise tarrif. This will separate men from boys

APC own don finish

In 2017, the World Health Organisation (WHO) called for increased taxes on tobacco products to discourage its use.
Nigerians smoke about 20 billion sticks of cigarette yearly, according to Isaac Adewole, Minister of Health.

Nigeria is also said to be the highest alcohol-drinking country in the world.

Could it be as a result of frustration and the need to forget their sorrows? Nigeria, I hail thee!

Sorry to bust your bubble sir, but any economist will understand that these are inelastic products. Price change and tax increments don't affect their consumption or sales because they are addictive products people will always buy them regardless.

This tax increment method has been tried in every country of the world and it hasn't worked once. As a matter of fact, the cigarette and alcohol companies will transfer the new tax payment to the customers and they will happily pay up. So sales and consumptions won't be affected. Though, I must say that It is a good way for the government to generate additional revenue .

you are right but he is very correct about smugglers getting richer.alcohol will start coming from Cotonou as well

Ever since this wuruwuru government came to power, all we have heard and had is increase of one thing or the other...

Nothing called reduction.. Now this ineptitude of a minister wants to increase tariff of the thing men are using to console themselves with, after each day's hustle..

Very soon, minister of health would wake up and impose tax on each semen a man discharges..

Bunch of ineptitudes...

SMOKING KILLS

we shall all die one day anyways

tetralogyfallot:
A very good and effective way to reduce their consumption. The only loophole with this method is that it will make smugglers richer.

It may be effective, but it will only reduce consumption amongst those who can barely afford it. The elite and upper middle classes will still be able to afford alcohol and cigarettes regardless of the price. It's effectively a tax on the poor consumers.

they can increase it to whatever...I don't care....

at least it will reduce the number of smokers and drunkards on our streets

I have a kweshon doh! Will d sharia states benefit from these proposed taxes? Just wondering.... :/

just copying and pasting UK taxing scheme without the UKs benefit welafarism,senseless slowpoke

Lipscomb:
hope this new proposal will not increase the sale of alcoholic.

It will 100%... No hiding place for poor man in this country

maybe u all should start smoking lsd or ayahuasca plant ����

This is the only thing they are good at. Things that will cause hardship for the average masses.

Cigarettes don increase now.
