Whenever you talk Nigerians into paying tax they will go and recruit bloggers to be writing nonsense for them. All they want is free everything, but will be quick to ask why Nigeria is not like America.

You'll just be exposing your inability to read on this forum.

You need to read the NITDA policies and the associated NDPR to see how it protects the subject.

A lot of people's data have fallen into the wrong hands because it is being sold.

The bill is foolish and any individual who supports it has not read it.

It means anyone who operates a website in Nigeria without a government license can be sent to prison for one year or be forced to pay 3 million naira in fines.

How does that help protect anyone?

Buhari is a barrier to everything good.

NIGERIa is not like America because of people like you and Buhari ...what have you people put in place to aid Tech companies in this country ...You are clearly a lazy free loader waiting for tech entrepreneurs like me to feed you ...

I’m very sad , why are they trying to frustrate us

If you are not into anything shady, I don’t think you should be worried. Everything needs to be regulated and I am sure America also has such an institution put in place.

Did you read the bill before making this post?

Pantami Ibn Fulani Ibn Allah knows that Tech /AI powered by Battery Tech has murdered Fossil Fuel and is the future of The Age of Information.

The Oligarchy powered by Allah know and are positioning themselves to eat from Tech Start ups. Will Tech allow politicians to eat by corrupt laws the sweat and brain work of thkse who choose intelligence over cow education?

This is not regulation. It's purely creating a parallel taxing system. NITDA's focus should be purely positive growth guided by effective policy framework and not revenue generation.

They're loosing focus

How

Do you still think atiku would not have been better than Buhari.?

Think again.

It's not enough to keep shouting corruption.

The tech space already undergo over-regulation under Buhari which has negative consequences.

But this is not even regulation.

This is over taxation for a sector that is still trying to grow.

Tech innovation is what can save nigeria, if you like kill it.

When the country gets hungry they eat up all the politicians

Even if you leave office you won't be spared

Arewa agenda wants to destroy tech start ups.
The recent exploits of Patricia & Abeg took arewa agenda by surprise.
Arewa agenda is the greatest abomination on planet earth.

More like saying the Fulani's want to control and stamp their authority on the technological innovations and future capability of the southern entrepreneurs. Because how many of the Fintechs are owned by the northerners?

Yesterday we heard how saudi govt came to Nigeria, recruited enough doctors, promising them free flight ticket and also zero tax with good remuneration..
Is saudi arabia not working?
These guys r saying the sector already is overtaxed, and the foolish govt led by the stupid president wants to kill startups with tax so he can channel it for his medical trips.
The taxes nigerians have paid,what benefits have we gotten so far?

Bunch of thieves! All they do is to tax, tax & more tax. The government should mention one thing they did right to encourage the growth of Tech & ICT in general. They only come for the soup when it's done. Forgetting that before one could make the soup there was a process of getting the ingredients, getting the stove/gas cooker, getting the pot etc. I can see it's another Hausa man heading that unit. Nawa O!

let's be honest with ourselves. The tech space is in much need of regulation. It is because the tech space is unregulated and unchecked that's why u see these digital loan companies sending unsolicited messages that defame ones character to your contacts when you default on a loan. The space is in much need of regulation. Let's tell ourselves the truth. Mind u before u come and say I'm a northerner I'm actually a southerner and an enlightened one for that matter.

What sort of false syllogism is this?

When did loans apps equal all of tech?

If you want to regulate loans apps go ahead and don't give the devil a sledgehammer to flatten the whole industry.

Imagine this fool holding brief for the most senile and useless president ever.
Under his watch, the entire northern states r under lock down due to bandits.
Insecurity is at its worst ever, corruption is now institutionalised, a minister fed school kids with more than 5billion naira while they were at home. Mumu lemme tell u, every nigerian now is better than than thin useless thief sitting in asorock.
Because he stumbled on the presidency doesnt make him good. Na just priviledge nothing more. Does buhati know what subsidy means, lets start from there

So if they regulate it, someone loan money from these app, then fails to pay at the due time, how will the regulator help recover the loan for those investors?

A new bill to REPEAL THE NATIONAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY ACT, NO. 28 2007 is in the works in the national assembly and the content of the bill indicates that Nigeria is dealing with a real and present pandemic that will eat up the startup ecosystem and impoverish all of us old and young.
The name of this diabolic Pandemic is DR. Isa Pantami The Minister for Digital economy. In January this year, I wove this thread on twitter about him. https://twitter.com/wandyvirus/status/1351591448903360516?s=20. I was wrong about his mind. He has a brilliant mind….brilliantly diabolical.

Bros u r not enlightened at all.
What these digital loan companies do to defaulters cant be comparable to what normal financial companies do to guarantors of loanees that default in their payment.
Those people will come to ur house, abduct u, lock u in their toilet for hours till u
Pay back the loan u stood as guarantor for.
Are there no regulators regulating these other financial moneylenders? Ofcourse they are.
