DStv, GOtv hike price as MultiChoice implements 7.5% VAT

Business / BY Oboh.

Pay television service provider, MultiChoice Nigeria, said it would commence the implementation of the new Value Added Tax, VAT, rate, which may lead to a hike in the prices of its DStv and GOtv packages, Vanguard has learned.

The new VAT regime, which came into effect on February 1, raised the rate of VAT from five percent to 7.5 percent on goods and services.

Since coming into effect four months ago, MultiChoice has absorbed the 2.5 percent hike on behalf of its subscribers, an action that has kept that VAT rate at the pre-February rate of five percent.

Sources told Vanguard that there is no way the pay television giants can continue to pay the difference between the old and the new rates for much longer, as this has impacted very negatively on its finances.

The source said: “Pay television service is not exempted from VAT and I want to believe that MultiChoice is the only company still charging the old VAT rate on its products and services. It is important to note that VAT is not part of the turnover of companies, which they, in fact, collect on behalf of the Federal Government and remit same on a particular date.”

The source added that MultiChoice may have waited for four months to effect the new rate, in the hope that, as widely speculated, the Federal Government might revert to the old rate before the end of the first quarter of the year.

“There were speculations that the Federal Government would return to the old rate, but recent pronouncements by government officials that there would be no return to the old rate may have forced the company into a decision despite the best of intentions,” the source noted.

Another source told Vanguard that the pay-television company is also planning to phase out some of its legacy packages on DStv and GOtv platforms and replace them with new ones to create capacity for new content additions and give them distinct Nigerian identities.

1. Primary and secondary schools are not affected, as some are through with their exams. Others will resume with exams and run 3rd term from the week after. The difference is that, there will be no summer school and the long holiday replaced with perhaps, 2 or 3 weeks holiday, before a new session commences.

2. For higher institutions, what difference does it make? They were on strike already. In fact, world's compulsory holiday met them on strike. What baffles me now is that, what is the contributions of science lab scientists in Nigeria? Where are all the microbiologists in Nigeria? They and their students are on strike. Coronavirus should have been a veritable opportunity to practically teach these students. Shame on FG for destroying out educational system. This is because their students are not schooling here.

3. For the dropouts. They wished to be dropouts. This can only happen in the north. Check out all higher institutions in the south,; you will be surprised at the way people are hussling to attend part time schools. Same at primary and secondary levels.

The husband said he does not have up to N5,000 in his account. I want to say congrats. He is qualified for FG urban cash transfer . Rubbish! The woman should be jailed.

Please help if you can. I do not want her to use it against us tomorrow. She is human you know.

Good day,

I have 3 mouths to feed,
Where I manage, I was given N10,000 to feed four of us (including myself). That's a month ago. How have we been coping? I won't lie to you, our landlady has been feedng us thereafter. Some people may know me here, do I care? These kids deserve more that what this nation is making them pass through now.

Whatever you may have, no matter how little it is, it will be appreciated. Thank you.

*COVID-19: Enugu Monarch urges FG to consult native doctors, soothsayers for solution
ON MARCH 27, 2020 2:08 PM / IN
NEWS*

By Chinenyeh Ozor
The traditional ruler of Owerri autonomous community in Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State HRH Igwe Emeka Ugwu has called on governments at all levels to consult native doctors, soothsayers, herbal medicine dealers to seek a solution and total cure for the Coronavirus pandemic.

Igwe Ugwu made the call in Nsukka while responding to journalists on the ongoing public enlightenment campaign over the prevention of the Coronavirus pandemic in the Nsukka council area and its environs.

The revered traditional ruler noted that most native doctors, soothsayers, traditional herbal medicine dealers among others were for ages known for solutions to strange diseases, lamenting that government reluctance to engage a traditional approach to research for permanent cure of the pandemic disease is highly regrettable.

“Government at all levels should not watch people suffer and die without exploring all possible means for the cure to the Coronavirus pandemic.
“While government wait and hope on scientists for the solution to nip spread of the pandemic virus in the bud, native doctors, soothsayers, and traditional herbal medicine dealers have to consult for the solution. Nigeria survived HIV/AIDS, Lassa fever, Ebola among others and still survive Coronavirus pandemic” he said.
“Some native doctors have supernatural gifts and potentials in curing strange diseases, therefore the government should engage them to embark on spiritual warfare to curb the menace because it’s a matter of life and death.

“The disease is not an ordinary one hence the need to involve all and sundry in the quest for the solution to the cure pandemic virus,” he said.
The traditional ruler also urged members of the public not to panic over the Coronavirus, stressing that nature will arrest the disease against them.

“Nature will not allow this virus to harm any of my subjects because it is not our disease. Our land will protect us against it.”

He, however, urged the community to comply with all government directives on safety and preventive measures pointing out that they should also observe and maintain a high level of personal hygiene.

The Royal father applauded the efforts made by the Enugu state government so far to curtail the spread of the virus by banning burials, weddings, social activities among others to checkmate spread of the pandemic virus in the state.

Humanoid01:
It goes both ways. Women, especially the ones who're well aware that they have big busts, get awfully close to men and this provides contact between their busts and the men's body. Yeah, this is true because I've experienced it severally in public buses. Sometimes, I guess they don't feel it because of their brassieres and other times, it gets too obvious that I begin to doubt. Although some men enjoy it Lol, but I don't because it makes me so uncomfortable. Molestation goes both ways, the females shouldn't always play the victim card like it's something peculiar to men alone.

But many men will keep quiet and enjoy it, while the ladies will scream blue murder.

My girlfriend some years back once told me how she was molested by a young business traveler in a night bus. She said, the man kept handling her breasts. Initially, he started by poking the breasts. She pretended as if she was deep in sleep. He went further by caressing. That's when she held his hands in the very act. Just as she held his hands, the man covered her mouth and started pleading for mercy. He even covered his mouth with his hand and begged and even offered her money which she rejected. She forgave him, but told him to change seat immediately which he did. I know this is still happening. Lets share all the antics of this randy men or women where possible.

....

Most Nigerian leaders see themselves as small gods, when in power. Withholding the entitlement of these men and women is enough to cause him to loose election. Imagine these retirees waiting another four years for a man who was not willing to pay, to use up his tenure?

[quote author=selingel post=50627095]I learnt Buhari has decided to pay off the outstanding balance for the pensioners. If this is done, it will be very good of this administration. It will shame the last administration. They had the opportunity of correcting the evil perpetrated by Obasanjo, but decided to punish this great men who who gave their all to the service of this nation.[/quote). What I discovered about the last government was that, GEJ was just not willing to pay these retirees. I wished to listen to the excuse he had in mind.

Please lets keep ourselves informed.

.....

Just as I read on this section concerning NITEL which was encouraging and informative; Has anyone got information about when ex-Nigeria Airways pensioners will be paid? I keep hearing soon.....Please, how soon? Lets share vital information, which could be life-saving. Many of them are dieing, and we all know this. Thanks.

Did he pay with his job, for calling Nigerians ''fantastically corrupt''? I want to hear from Nigerians.

Its a passionate appeal. Its not to make fun of please.

A family of six needs financial assistance from loving Nigerians. In fact, the real reason is that, as you read this, their property is outside, as a result of outstanding owed their landlord. We have tried in helping them in our own little way. Some even gave them the little cash they can afford. Their kids are now with a kind neighbour. The husband works as a gate man, while the wife helps people do their laundry work. I had to come here to ask for assistance. If 1,000 Nigerians will help with N50, they will have N50,000. Their account number is 0050224694, Access bank plc. I was told not to publish account name. Please help, as nothing is too small. Above all, thank God for this is not happening to you.
