Rubbish. Who is ur own dilector?
Again, if u are aggrived, go to court and lament there.
What the govt is doing is implementing existing laws and not creating new ones.

Tokt:
Arrant Nonsense. We are looking for immediate ways to depend less on crude oil money and run the economy u are here talking rubbish.
If u aren't happy, go to court and Sue the govt.
Besides, what the govt simply did is an implementation of an existing law that was never enforced. It's not a new law.

Early this morning, I read a directive by the Central Bank of Nigeria to all Banks in the country where it ordered all banks in Nigeria to start charging N50 on all transactions that are above N1,000 from ALL Nigerians.

Now, as many of us may now know this until the banks start charging it and they give you tons of excuses for it.
Here are three facts why THIS charge is a FRAUD in totality!

1. This charge is to be under a particular stamp duty which is illegal in banking transactions! At least, I know stamp duties are charged under postal orders and not on some bank transactions.

2. The account number the money is to be remitted into (CBN NIPOST Stamp Duty Collection Account No 3000047517) is not the popular TSA account number which was created as the ONLY Government transaction’s correspondence! What this means is that the Federal Government is as corrupt as anything you can imagine, using this scheme to deprive the middle class off their hard earned money!

3. This scheme of generating funds was not listed as one of the means to be used to generate funds this year in the 2016 budget! I have read the 1800 page document page to page in details that I can almost tell where a particular item is placed. You all can take the pain to read it too. This government never listed this means as a non-oil revenue making means.

What this scheme is scheduled to do is to suffer the middle class and the lower class in Nigeria to feed some greedy, corrupt and selfish upper class. Why hasn’t the FG set up a tax on luxury items which the upper class in our strata is entitled to?

There are so many questions begging for answers that, some of which many among us will avoid answering them. I’ll leave you with this: Do not ever think you’ll benefit from the N5,000 to be given to the unemployed people because it is strictly a Northern affair! That is where we have the poorest of the poor!

This poster and some of his supposrters are as dumb as you can get. A little knowledge of economics would have convinced the OP not to make this post. The comparisms do not make any meaning at all. Some even claim that Nigerians do not pay taxes, someone should help me ask them where the allocation shared by the FG comes from. Is the allocation from Buhari's investments in his cattles? We all pay taxes one way or the other. If there is any Nigerian who does not pay taxes, then that person hasnt purchased anything since he was born. And then, why compare countries with higher minimum wages with a country like Nigeria where the current minimum wage is probably less than 14,OOO relative to the current exchange rate? What has the government done with the taxes we pay?
Pls, we Nigerians are wise people o. Dnt jsut sit in ur comfort and come online to insult our collective sensibilities. The same reason we dnt pay 23K for electricity here is the same reason a quikie is as cheap as N5OO instead of the 12k u claim to pay abroad.

OP needs to understand the living condition in Nigeria, the low minimum wage, the stress,frustration in the country, the empty promises made;not fulfilled, the corruption,unaccountabilty, the undevelopment etc.
Op Nigerians pay tax, but to what end? The little we pay is it being utilize? Take a trip to Nigeria Op, and pay a visit to the tax revenue offices in Nigeria,average salary for revenue workers is 50k, but they live like they earn 800k, am talking from experience.
Nigerians have for long paid for services that was never rendered to them,these monies are meant to enrich some peoples pocket,the level of corruption and mismanagement in Nigeria is so deep that, the solution will be to tackle the latter first. Yes all hands must be on deck, and it doesn't have to start with taxing the masses, it has to start with cleaning the house first. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria, because we settle for less, we blame the problem on the leaders, when we ourselves are so corrupt with the wrong mindset. If everyone of us do the right thing to help our economy we won't have to resort to taxing an already wailing masses to generate fund.

Paying tax isn't our problem, paying for services isn't also, getting the value is what our problem is. Individual have drained Nigeria dry but innocent masses should suffer for it? Did u even see the supposed budget proposed?

Finally Op you are there comparing our economy with that of another nation, where you there when they struggle to make it work?where you there when honest men rose up to make it work? You went there when things start working and somehow you think you have a justification to compare Nigeria with other countries. You go soon tell us who you help just now.

Nigerians want good thing but they don't wanna pay for it. Here in SA, anytime I make a deposit into my personal account from my same bank am charged R35 that's almost N500. For every withdrawal as well am charged R5 that's N65. The VAT here is 14% and am paying a tax of 25% on my monthly salary.

Nigeria has the lowest VAT of 5% in the world, yet we complain about everything. I pray people can be more enlightened, this a good policy considering the current economic situations.

Joarams:
First, read your laws to reduce (but you can still maintain) your protests sir. Valid protest...but a law is a law. Are you aware that's there's also a law on petrol tax? Again, that hasn't been implemented like this Stamp duties Act. I'm looking forward to a day petrol tax law will be implemented rather than rebuilding toll gates on Federal Highways.

LaurelP:
I am not jobless sir, am gainfully employed. Akin your father is not doing anybody any favor by "creating jobs", he's making his money.
Ask people who went for the recruitment last year what happened, now am hearing it repeated itself again. People even said the pay wasn't what he said it was.
If he can't organize a simple recruitment exercise and employ the few people he wants, then no be mumu him be? And as for you my friend, I won't want to add to your frustration by insulting you cos it's obvious you've been jobless, if not why would you see employment as a favour?

LaurelP:
What do you expect when the mumu Akin Alabi went and posted that the salary is 65k? Ordinarily if this country was OK who would want to work at Nairabet talkless of crowd besieging the place.

Virtually all the websites, forums and blogs in Nigeria carried the advert so I won't be surprised if people came in from outside Lagos. Ask me how many people they want to employ.

Sigh..it's still the typical talakawa vs Dan-Arewa mentality playing out in the north. The serfs vs the fiefs. Where the economic and political ideas of a few ruling Northern political elites,apotheosized aristocrats and their cheapened reactionary counterparts in the army hold sway. Their proclivity to oppress the talakas, tenacity to hold on to power, defend their interest and impose a patterned way of thinking on their surbodinates. When you throw in the predominant Islamic faith practiced by majority in the north,the strangle hold becomes complete.

Imagine what a passenger was given as food/snack while travelling with Aero Airline from Lagos-Port Harcourt after paying about N22k as flight ticket. Imagine serving each passenger one small pack of happy hour juice, 50 naira biscuit, two small pieces of cookies worth 100 naira and 10 naira flash sweet. When it comes to treating passengers well, Nigeria still has a long way to go...

My prophetic proclamation in 2013 eventually happened. What a prophecy!

hungryboy:
One thing this thugs and thieves wrongly labelled Militants, haven't realised yet,
Is that, this is not a government ran by Two lecturers( Late President Yar'adua and Goodluck Jonathan)
who are afraid of spilling blood,
Buhari is not only an ex General in the army but from a warring tribe(fulani),
The so called militants will bomb oil installations,
And maybe kidnap a few white men,
In the ensuing war,
President Buhari will not relent or call for ceasefire, amnesty etc, until the are all dead,
I only pity the innocents who will be caught in the crossfire.

I can still remember quit vividly when this same MTN sold sim cards not worth #100 to Nigerians for over #30k, and then they felt Nigerians were gullible and too naive to understand the technicalities of mobile technology. Today is their turn to pay back all the billions they ripped from us. #etigloandairtel tí take over
