Post covid lockdown,

Rich countries give palliatives and tax incentives.

Nigeria gives high tariffs and high taxes .

I am betting to see how much pressure Nigerians can take before they bend like Tinubu. grin grin

All I have to say is, there's is God in everything we do. The fact that things have become more expensive shouldn't be an avenue to exploit your fellow Nigerians.
It's a vicious cycle. One way all the other,we are all consumers.
Oh you Okada riders, tricycle riders and Taxi drivers that increased the T-fare heavily because of increase in Petrol price, it's a vicious cycle. There's no gain in what you do cos you will still use that money to buy expensive food products whose price increased as a result of transportation costs and other factors. I could go on to mention other things but I believe y'all got my point.
We are all in this together
No one is exempted

This is the same mindset transporters in Nigeria use.
Fuel price goes up by ₦10 or ₦20,they automatically increase transport fares by ₦100-₦200,not minding they carry 10-50 passengers per bus.
That one is good, in my state,Transporters increase by 1k for ever 10naira increase in price per litre

correctyourself:
To increase tax would be easy for them, but to deal with security issues would be difficult.

They increase tax then use the money for what?? To do dumb things like feed 20,000 unidentifiable poor people with no transparency or accountability.

This is besides the fact it is a redundant project that can neither eradicate poverty or improve the people's lives at all especially in a sustainable manner.

This government is a disgrace.

Okay let me explain . 20 naira increase in fuel results in corresponding increase in EVERYThING . From the food you eat , to cloths , to shoes, to school fees , to rent . To take care of all these increases , your business will also have to increase your fees . Those increments are usually not 20 naira but multiples of it .
Increased Tariffs means increase in the value chain as well as tax payable to government . Shareholders must keep making money so they must find a way to at least keep making the same profit or more . After all the government will take the blame .

I have never seen a government as stupid as this APC led federal government. Buhari should just leave. His tenure had been a total disaster. You are saying people should not steal. You are saying there is high rate of kidnapping, stealing, robbery, banditry,yet you are increasing hardship on your citizens. Minimum wage is static, salaries are not increasing, rather they are going down. Many companies can't even break even. Many are finding it hard to get by. Yet all this useless government thinks of is to increase tax just because the stupid oil money is not coming in like before and the government is spending so much on recurrent expenditure which is skyrocketing on a yearly basis. Few capital projects, but many recurrennt expenditure. The Nigerian government is living way beyond its means of income. Instead of the government to cut costs like the Buhari led Apc government promised before they got into power, they refused to do that. Now any little thing, you impose tax. As if the tax already imposed is not high enough, you impose more tax because you're looking for more money. We have natural resources other than oil that God has given us in abundance. But we are so lazy in Nigeria. We have a very lazy government and and lazy government workers who only want to be collecting salaries and live flamboyant lifestyles at the detriment of the common citizen. Yet the APC still blames the PDP for this mess even after almost eight years. Now they still want to cling on to power after failing Nigerians. But guess what, Nigerians have coconut heads. We will keep making the same mistakes and still expecting a different result. We deserve our leaders and deserve what we are getting. Nothing will ever change as long as we keep doing the same thing all over and over again.

Mr. Subsidywise18, am sure govt is moving in the right direction
it not in the wrong direction either...if that is what is needed to generate more revenue to service debts, subsidies etc...
assuming you were not cynical... why will 5% charges on airtime and data push operators to double their prices instead of only increasing it by 5% only...that should be your concern instead of the taxes..

you think we will ever get better if we continue to depend on Oil revenues only..even Obi knows this and his being cunny about it..if the country should get any better...fuel subsidies will have to end..we should begin to begin to see toll plazas for better roads..power sector will have to be deregulated so that those who bought part of the sector will see their profit and be willing to invest in it...

when VAT was increased from 5% to 7.5%.. services from banking,utilities like electricity etc..only increased by an extra 2.5%..how can we have gdp of $410bn+ and only 6% tax to gdp ratio...mention one developed or developing country you will find such..
