They should start by taxing all the huge monies they receive from their jumbo pay and allowances. I am sure that will go a long way to boost the foreign reserves of the country. Since we are all being serious, they should tax all monies used for political campaigns, special taxes should be paid on these billions of Naira they use for campaigning. They just keeping shocking every time you think you have seen the worst. |

They should consider more taxes for those with plenty houses in Bourdilon, Asokoro, Lekki, Park-View, Banana Island etc. If they implement multi tax system on DSTV and the likes, Nigerians will still share from it. |

These people tax mtn sotay mtn stop mtn project fame. Some form of youth empowerment. Now they want to tax DStv until they stop bbnaija. It's not dstvs fault that the government refused to diversify the economy when they could. Tourism in Nigeria is almost at zero. Entrepreneurship almost at zero, only source of revenue to fg is lagos and oil when they could develop other states and increase revenue base 1 Like |

DSTV shouldn't be streaming important matches like UCL,there other members like CTL,CAN TV,etc. But our leaders have given DSTV that monopoly because they gain alot from them and make the poor masses suffer. Gotv,metro,and the likes were very affordable then and show important matches but today one can't buy them(especially football lovers) because those rights have been taken from them. The senate should look into this and try to amend or regulate this to other dishes or whatever it's called 1 Like |

Senate Committee on Finance, Customs and Public Procurement has been mandated by the Senate to consider among others the taxation of the premium bouquet of PayTv, diversification of economy among other and report back in one week. It is the same Southerners that will feel the economic effect of this taxes being intended. How many northerners or aboki that are living in good residential quarters and also have the luxury of a dstv subscription in Nigeria? The legislators have no work to do and they are using their idle period to plan evil bills. WHY NOT SOLVE EPILEPTIC POWERS ISSUES IN NIGERIA AND TAKE YOUR TAXES OR REVENUE FROM POWER SUPPLY? Even the DSTV station you do not even have electricity to watch their multi channels and your subscription just keep running. Why are the legislators not telling MULTICHOICE to introduce PAY AS YOU GO. These greedy legislator refuse to cut down on the huge cost of governance in Nigeria. POLITICIANS WILL PUSH NIGERIA TO START ANOTHER ENDSARS PROTEST not on this police this time around but on other myriad of problems troubling Nigeria. NIGERIAN POLITICIANS NEEDS A BRAIN RESET. |

How can Nigeria develop with this type of constitution and legislators where the only welfare their National Assembly members can boast of is how to increase taxes and heap more burden on the citizens. Whenever they tell you they want to diversity the economy, is not how to move the economy away from oil into other income generating investments,but only how to increase taxes. Their singular aim is to oil their pockets and maintain their #30 million monthly wages and more for embezzlement. In this pandemic period, other countries are granting their citizens stimulus but Nigeria leaders are increasingly killing us with taxes and debts. |

I totally agree. Revenue needs to be raised. But Nigerians will be the most foolish people on earth if they do not extract something in return. As much as government badly needs revenue Nigerians badly need a cut in the cost of organising society, aka cost of governance. That is the condition for prosperity. You work harder and waste less and then you see poverty squeezed in the middle. That is how individuals, companies, organisations and even nations extricate themselves from poverty, bankruptcy and other economic ills. You cannot continue ruling over us all flaunting illegitimate, obscene trappings of office. It is the one bug that causes the infection of crime. Riches in the midst of poverty. The crime we are all suffering for. 2 Likes |

privaldo: It's like many people don't understand that this proposal is not a direct tax on dstv as a company but rather on Subscribers to the dstv premium bouquet. Pls read the piece very well. It's like a luxury tax that will be borne directly by the user when he subscribes to premium bouquet. The likely implication is that many dstv users will simply avoid premium bouquet subscription, resulting in less revenue for DSTV and less direct tax for the same Government. A very useless initiative in my humble opinion. 4 Likes |
