There are indications that telecoms firms in Nigeria may soon transfer the increasing operational expenses arising from multiple taxation and other indiscriminate levies to telecom subscribers in the form of increased tariff for services.The telecoms firms gave the indication recently at media parley with the Industry Working Group on Multiple taxation, which was set up by the Nigerian Communications Commission to address ongoing cases of multiple taxation and its potential dangers to telecoms growth in the country.

Forget that kind thing. No camel back would have a scratch. Na today they have been rap.ing Nigerians to the level of coma? Even you are not even spared at that. Enjoy the rap.ing. Hope the generations yet unborn would not suffer the same fate.

David mark once said ''phones are not made for the poor'' !

......yeah i thot he said that in late 80's....

this can't be true...at the time when subscriber are expecting reduction in the cost of airtime. What improve service have we enjoyed before. Government should please be serious with plight of her citizen.

In fact, they deserve to cooperate, shut down all their systems in the nation and let's see how we'll cope.

Running a legal business in Lagos state alone is crazy, the taxes are too much!!!!

5percent of this, 10percent on that, 8 percent of this, 3 percent of that!!

I have a lot of junk "government papers" in my drawer that I can't even differentiate them anymore.

The most useless part of government- LOCAL GOVERNMENTS are worse and the only thing

they have to show for all the money they collect are "owanbe" parties and paying thugs!

It's frustrating.!!!

I think they are making sense in reverse.

@ OP.

Na rumor. Tariffs will only keep dropping as long as we maintain the status quo. We have not upset the status quo. So forget dat tin say tariff go increase

WE GO STILL LIVE

Doesnt matter really. The future is the Internet. I have always said that for a long time. I hadly make phone calls these days. FB, BB, Gtalk, WhatsApp, Skype and now Google just released free SMS right from your Gmail. I dont know why we still make a lot of calls really. I think maybe its lack of awareness. I can understand for older folks and some really illiterate folks, but I cant understand why an educated working class person will make a lot of calls except to a 'club ten' kind of contact.

They should take it up with the appropriate authorities and leave the subscribers out of this nonsense.

If I Hear! Glo had better not try it. Enhen!
