Lanretoye: don’t apply undue sentiments to everything that you do t support,we should educate and inform ourselves and not spread useless misinformation to make your mischief.the 50 naira charge has been for some time now only that the receiver is charged,for example when you send 10k to someone,the person willl receive the 10k and also get a debit of 50naira or sometimes will receive 9950.done feign ignorance of this
Wait till tomorrow before you fight me. You will understand why it is totalitarian. You forgot VAT.
Are they planning to add N50 to the existing charge, or are they just discovering N50 for the first time, as if they haven’t been charging us all along?
Because every single time I make a transfer, N53 mysteriously joins the transaction. Of course, that N53 never reaches the recipient, it vanishes into thin air, officially labeled “charges.”
So what exactly is new here? Are we paying another N50 on top of the already missing N53, or is this just a dramatic rebranding of the same old deduction we’ve been funding without applause?
Additional to N50 electronic transfer. Don't forget VAT. We will learn wisdom.
So if you transferred 10k, the receiver will get N9887.5, welcome to the year of our Lord 2026, year of Tinubu HEAVY taxation. It will favour me and my family, we will continue to WASTE your money in Europe.
NEW TAX LAWS WILL COMMENCE ON JANUARY 1, 2026 AS PLANNED
The new tax laws, including those that took effect on June 26, 2025, and the remaining acts scheduled to commence on January 1, 2026, will continue as planned.
These reforms are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a fair, competitive, and robust fiscal foundation for our country.
The tax laws are not designed to raise taxes, but rather to support a structural reset, drive harmonisation, and protect dignity while strengthening the social contract.
I urge all stakeholders to support the implementation phase, which is now firmly in the delivery stage.
Our administration is aware of the public discourse surrounding alleged changes to some provisions of the recently enacted tax laws.
No substantial issue has been established that warrants a disruption of the reform process. Absolute trust is built over time through making the right decisions, not through premature, reactive measures.
I emphasise our administration's unwavering commitment to due process and the integrity of enacted laws. The Presidency pledges to work with the National Assembly to ensure the swift resolution of any issue identified.
I assure all Nigerians that the Federal Government will continue to act in the overriding public interest to ensure a tax system that supports prosperity and shared responsibility.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President, Federal Republic of Nigeria
The community is reportedly in shock, as it has not experienced such a violent assault in years.
Gebbe community in the Shanga Local Government Area of Kebbi State has come under a deadly attack by gunmen suspected to be terrorists, leaving an unknown number of residents dead and several others injured according to local sources.
According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen struck suddenly, opening fire indiscriminately on residents, forcing many to flee to nearby bushes and neighbouring communities for safety.
The community is reportedly in shock, as it has not experienced such a violent assault in years.
“The gunmen came suddenly and started shooting. People ran in all directions. We are still in shock. Many have fled to the surrounding villages,” one resident, who requested anonymity, told SaharaReporters.
The police have also confirmed the attack.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Bashir Usman, told Channels Television that officers are currently on the ground assessing the situation.
“We are on top of the matter and are working to determine the number of casualties and injuries. An official statement will be issued soon,” Usman said.
Residents have appealed to the government and security agencies to intervene urgently, describing the attack as deadly and unprecedented for the area.
Calls to the village head for comment were not answered at the time of reporting.
Security sources said reinforcements have been deployed to the area to prevent further bloodshed.
ElevationD: The same man who as a sitting governor purchased the forms of all the members of the state and National Assembly in his state. The same man who has not so far mentioned his source of wealth.
“We never saw money Governors are seeing now” So he saw money as a Governor.
Anyway, that’s for his supporters to rejoice over.
The truth is how can 4000mw be enough for 250 million population. Fashola lied to Nigerians,10 years of APC, we have not crossed 5000mw. Adelabu is incompetent.
3Si69: Kwarans are getting what they deserve. I recall listening to a radio programme from Ilorin where people were discussing bad governance. Many callers insisted that the only solution was for everyone to seek God’s intervention ( e je ki a kun fun Ibelohun). I’ll say this again... religion was created to control people, teaching them not to question but to accept whatever they are told.
That should be either radio Kwara, Sobi or harmony FM.
Amala politics of baba Adedibu. Amala convention. Wike is both in PDP and APC,,no room in ADC. Has EFCC investigated the land acquisition America house?
It breaks my heart, I know Oke-Ode and Agbeku, under APC carrying playcard is a SIN, security officer that were supposed to protect did nothing. Only women protesting and molested by absentee governor's thugs.
WATCH: Kwara Women Protesting Insecurity, Abductions Attacked, Flogged By Thugs At Government House As Police Watch.
Women protesting worsening insecurity in Oke-Ode, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, during weekend were attacked and beaten by thugs linked to the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq at the Government House in Ilorin, SaharaReporters has gathered.
The women had converged peacefully in front of the Government House to demand urgent action over sustained attacks by terrorists in their community and the continued captivity of their husbands and children, many of whom they said had been held in kidnappers’ dens for months without rescue.
SaharaReporters gathered that the protest was abruptly disrupted when men wielding canes reportedly emerged from within the Government House premises and descended on the women, beating both young and elderly protesters while chasing them away from the area.
A video obtained by SaharaReporters shows the moment the assailants stormed out, swinging canes and flogging the women as they screamed and fled in panic.
The attack reportedly occurred in the presence of operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, who were accused by witnesses of failing to intervene.
According to sources, the thugs were allegedly backed by the Kwara State Government and acted to violently disperse the protest rather than allow the women to present their grievances.
In one of the clips, a woman, visibly shaken and crying, narrated how residents of Oke-Ode have been left at the mercy of terrorists, forcing the women to seek government attention as a last resort, only to be assaulted.
“Please help us, they have finished us with kidnappings in Oke-Ode,” she cried.
“We are poor people. We have exhausted all our means to confront this situation. All our efforts have ended. They kidnapped our husbands and our children. Please come to our aid.”
Another woman, whose husband was abducted about a month ago, was seen sobbing uncontrollably as she pleaded for assistance.
“It is one month now since my husband was kidnapped,” she said. “Please help us.”
Residents of Oke-Ode have repeatedly complained of unchecked attacks by kidnappers operating freely in the area, accusing authorities of failing to secure their lives and property.
As of the time of filing this report, the Kwara State Government and the Nigeria Police Force had yet to issue an official response to the allegations.
On July 11, 2025, SaharaReporters reported that peaceful protesters under the banner of the Take-It-Back Movement were violently attacked in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, on Thursday, allegedly by thugs linked to top aides of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
One of the victims, Comrade Musa Saidu Tsaragi, who spoke with SaharaReporters, accused the Governor’s Senior Special Adviser on Security Matters, Aliyu Muyideen, and the Adviser on Social Investment, Sadiq Buhari, of orchestrating the attack to silence their protest against rising insecurity in Kwara North and South senatorial districts.
"While we were protesting, a Toyota Siena car pulled up. The front window was down, and I saw Aliyu Muyideen driving, with Sadiq Buhari in the passenger seat," Comrade Tsaragi said.
According to him, two thugs emerged from the vehicle and began harassing the demonstrators. "One of them accused Comrade Gentle of owing him money, someone he had never met before. When we challenged him, the thug became violent. Then Sadiq Buhari pointed at me, and another thug, tall and aggressive, known as Kale punched me in the face."
Tsaragi added that police officers later arrived at the scene, but the assailants resisted arrest and even attacked the law enforcement officers before being subdued.
"At the State Intelligence Department (SID), the thugs confessed that they were sent by Muyideen and Buhari. They accused us of being PDP agents protesting to undermine the governor," he said.
The protesters denied any political affiliation, insisting their demonstration was purely about the security failures affecting their communities, particularly in Kwara North and South, which have suffered repeated bandit attacks.
They asked us why we were protesting against Governor AbdulRahman, insisting that the governor had done what was expected of him.
"The thugs mentioned that since the governor had appointed commissioners and special advisers from both Kwara North and South, there was no reason for our protest,” Tsaragi said.
