That's how I received this message from my network:

"Please note that from Oct 21, we will charge N4 per 20 seconds for USSD access to banking services. Thank you"

This man is determined to make life extremely difficult for the common man and very soon he would be asking for charges for the air we breath. Is this the next level he promised? Buhari, God pass you!

Shut up and stop moaning at everything. You don't have to access USSD services. Do you?

And if your service provider decides to charge you a fee which is not illegal as per NCC, does that mean every other network charges the same thing?

You can't eat - na Buhari.
You can't sleep - na Buhari
You can't get erection - na Buhari.

Shut up the order came from the CBN . We have have always paid for USSD , it has never been free so why Is the govt adding 4 naira per 20second sessions , meaning you will spend 15 naira to complete full 60 second session ..The Buhari govt wants to kill USSD like all things it has killed

You are a very confused human being.... Can service providers charge you for ussd without the consent of the banks (CBN) in conjunction with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC ). This government is a failed one. Make Dem kuku no increase minimum wage and let all these multiple tax systems cede. Soon is the soft drinks tax.... Just wait and see.... Shey e ni e stupid ni

Many of these Buhari zombies are just overgrown babies who have never worked before so they don't know anything , that one doesn't know you cannot add a single naira to any banking or Telco charge without express approval from the CBN and NCC and even FEC ... The Buhari govt initiated this USSD charge which is actually a USSD tax being hidden as a charge. Because we have always paid for our USSD session , it has never ever been free so what has changed now .. Buhari govt even rejected request by telcos to reduce data bundle prices but Nigerians don't know

And the youth keep supporting this govt.my problem is not about all these taxes, but on the implementation. After all England survives via tax. Mismanagement is our biggest Problem

Shut up isn't an insult, kid. It simply means "shut up!"

There is nothing wrong with taxation; Nigeria's tax to GDP ratio is extremely low, one of the lowest in the world. We keep comparing ourselves with developed nations but aren't ready to pay a microscopic fraction of what people in those developed nations pay in form of taxes.

4 naira or whatever isn't really going to kill you or make life "extremely unbearable" as you claim, I dont see how that makes anyone a devil. The only thing I am worried about, and which you should be worried about, and which we should talking about is whether the money collected can ever be used efficiently..

can we compare the people who are living above or in poverty with those countries to Nigeria?

Bundaweber:



can we compare the people who are living above or in poverty with those countries to Nigeria?

How exactly did the governments in those countries build the vital infrastructure with which they lifted their people out of poverty? Did those governments do it without revenue? Did they achieve all that with the people paying no tax?
