Heavy duty . This food is for men with long rod

grommet:
I have tend to notice that the nigerian community “abroad” is toxic. People are just filled with too much gossip, people also try to one up you, you wonder if they are your friends. Some come to your personal life and after its a mess as they come with a wave of drama to it.

Sometimes its annoying being in those spaces because its all about ‘this guy’s wife sleeping with different men who are sleeping with different girls and so on and so forth. It’s kind of annoying

Has anyone noticed this? Thoughts

HeadNigga:
you go still pay those Stamp duty, electronic monkey transfer levy etc although it won't amount to what you would have paid as cyber security levy. These things are making business harder.

Bananapill:
What I don't understand is NSA collecting the tax. Don't the NSA get budget yearly? What's the rationale behind this levy?

LandMann:
My comment is in support of your post.

It is directed to those who may have missed the point you made

LandMann:
In case you missed this point please read it again and implement it cos Tinubu's fraudulent government is hellbent on crippling Nigerians. Tinubu's philosophy is to weaponise poverty as a tool of controlling the masses

Parydelegate:
My phone screen is cracked; so, I'm not seeing the post very well.
But, base on people's comments here, it is really very sad to divorce such a good woman.

LordIsaac:

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Monday directed banks to start the process of deducting cybersecurity levy to be administered by the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA).

According to a circular sent to commercial banks, mobile money operators, payment service providers, and others, the deduction of the cybersecurity levy is a sequel to the enactment of the 2024 Cybercrime (prohibition, prevention, etc) amendment Act of 2024 which provides for a 0.5% deduction of the value of all electronic transactions to the National Cyber Security Fund which would be administered by the office of the NSA.

While the levy is to be charged on all electronic transactions and applied at the point of transfer origination, the CBN in an appendix to the circular, listed 16 transactions exempted from the levy. According to the banking regulator, these transactions include:

1. Loan disbursements and repayments.

2. Salary payments.

3. Intra-account transfers within the same bank or between different banks for the same customer.

4. Intra-bank transfers between customers of the same bank.

5. Other Financial Institutions (OFIs) instructions to their correspondent

6. Banks Interbank placements

7. Banks’ transfers to CBN and vice-versa

8. Inter-branch transfers within a bank

9. Cheques clearing and settlements.

10. Letters of Credits (LCs).

11. Banks’ recapitalization-related funding – only bulk funds movement from collection accounts.

12. Savings and deposits including transactions involving long-term investments such as Treasury Bills, Bonds, and Commercial Papers.

13. Government Social Welfare Programs transactions e.g. Pension payments.

14. Non-profit and charitable transactions including donations to registered nonprofit organizations or charities.

15. Educational Institutions transactions, including tuition payments and other transactions involving schools, universities, or other educational institutions.

16. Transactions involving the bank’s internal accounts such as suspense accounts, clearing accounts, profit and loss accounts, inter-branch accounts, reserve accounts, nostro and vostro accounts, and escrow accounts

What Nigerians are saying

Meanwhile, reactions have continued to trail the announcement of the cybersecurity levy. Although the levy has been in the Cybercrime Act 2015, which was amended this year but not implemented until now, Nigerians are saying the timing is wrong.


Reacting to the announcement via a post on the social media platform, X, the Founder and CEO of House of Lunettes, Mr. Akin Olaoye, said:

“A ‘Cybersecurity Tax’ to fund the NSA whose expenditures aren’t audited is highly misguided. Where Inflation and a bad economy are causing hardships, making it a wrong time to impose new taxes on Nigerians.”
A serial tech entrepreneur, Mr. Victor Asemota, said it would have been better for the government to allow telecom operators to increase their tariffs, which would yield more taxes, than introducing the cybersecurity levy.

“The government is raising their taxes but telling telcos not to raise their tariff. Wouldn’t they make more money taxing a telco price increase than this meaningless fee?” he said.
Also reacting to the levy, another X user identified as Uncle Jay, wrote:

“The 0.50% charge is too much and stupendous. Imagine paying a whopping N25,000.00 for a N5 million transaction. That is too much. If they wanted this Cybersecurity fee, they could have made it a flat fee of 2 naira only for transactions from N10k and above.”

Modern day slavery.

So they are not allowed to aspire beyond a particular status in society?

What is that, if not modern slavery.

It's the same happening in so called saner societies, but they know how to cloak it in more diplomatic niceties and systemic limitations.

Modern day slavery, where the slaves are the ones exporting themselves to be enslaved. Where you are not fit to exist in the country, except you stick to your given status in society.

Modern day slavery!!!

WorkTheTalk:
I'm sure if you abandon your work here in Nigeria, and go to work for another company when you're supposed be in your office, your employer would call it freedom, and double your salary.
No wonder they say hatred is a form of witchcraft. It beclouds common sense.

ChizzyBuna:
Boy listen..

You see back then in school you have 2 types of people
1. The students that know the rules and follow it to a default
2. The students that breaks the rules then start crying victim when punished.

You came into a Foreign land with a WORK visa
A Contract with all the rules and the punishment of deportation if you break the rules. It is all in the Contract

A work contract that states you are coming into this country to work for company A.
If you enter country then run away to work for company B.
You have broken the WORK contract which the penalty for breaking such rule is deportation.
This is signed and written in their contract

But trust Africans to go and break the rules .
Because you can do anyhow in Africa and nothing will happen.
Welcome to Civilized nations you jihadist monkey.

You go another man country break their law
Them cry victim when they get punished.

The reason Europe don't like hiring Africans is that once African enter Europe he will break contract and run to another place.

So save your propaganda and grab a shovel and continue digging for dirt to lay on Israel.

You go dig for 365 days till you finally find sense inside that hole you are digging.
