At the expense of the masses. Suffering over excessive taxes and bribery.

.

Increased vats contributed to the sufferings of Nigerians. Robbing Peter to pay Paul who is already living like an ant inside a canton of sugar

By increasing clearance everyday abi to kill the importer yeye

Worthless!

making trillions revenues by fleasing already battered masses illegally.

Unpopular opinion...We should be interested in knowing how exactly these revenues were derived. The Nigerian Custom Services are faustrating cross border logistics with unjustified severe fines and bureaucracies. Those who are into importation and exportation will understand this perfectly. While developed countries use their custom authority as an engine for enabling business, Nigeria uses theirs to generate revenue.

A company I worked with in 2014 literary abandoned 3 units of 20" container shipments at the port due to frustration from customs. My contacts across Europe would always say that Nigeria is the most complex country to move shipments to.

While custom agencies in other countries are streamlining their processes to be more business friendly. Customs and CBN are making theirs unnecessarily complex and faustrating.

Customs...a very corrupt setup too.

Eriokanmi:
Don't mind them. They made worst of all revenues in history last year. All those figures are worthless nowadays. There was a particular year I made over 100m naira in sales for the company I was working for over a decade and half ago, when 1usd was less than 200 naira at the official market. Recently I did the maths and realised if it were today, I'd be generating almost 2bn naira in sales.

Absolutely

But in my head I’m calculating your bonus % for that sale

Customs are just legal property kidnappers

All their achievements are driven from suffering of the mass

Lol. The commission was the last straw which broke the camel's back lol. Most Nigerian employers are slave drivers. My boss didn't fulfil his promises. It was cos of that commission I turned myself into a workaholic. I was working round the clock.

By the time commission was to be paid, tori com start. He go com dey vex on top small mata. Eventually, he slashed the percentage. I got angry and resigned. He paid some and left the rest unpaid.

This is not a good indices for growth.... It means we are highly dependent on import and our Custom is more interested in making more than facilitating trade.

Favourchris:


Yes, it will lead to another problem.

Everyone will divert to crypto, which will be another big issue Nigeria don't want to have.


Imagine when all the FX in the country are digital. Even bank won't like that.


Is not about making policies, they need to understand the people they are dealing with are not fools, there will always be a counter mechanism

what of if the government band crypto?

Consider setting up a business in a related industry since you’re good with sales

And the monies still won't be used to do anything meaningful.

BennyDGreat:


They need to clear all obstacles to making the ports effective and it must be done URGENTLY....

The reason this administration is failing is because there's no realistic plan on ground to follow

Sure, it was an eyesore that day, the glory of the port is totally gone

fuckJones:

How can u band what u have no control over?

ambale:
But operations wise, the customs and NPA has messed things up

Was at Apapa on Tuesday and it was a shadow of itself, the ginger was gone, containers now used days on bed before they could get in and use days before dey could load out

Na only money wey dey talk here

The ginger is gone how

Bellotelli:
They want to keep on importing

What’s annoying me is that instead of the government to be looking for ways to remove certain bottlenecks from our customs, to allow for easier and faster movement of goods, instead they are targeting how to generate more revenue, quality delivery is the last thing on their mind, their own is how to get more revenue

I am saying this same thing, everything about Nigeria is always about money or extortion.

Jamb has been turned into revenue generating agency, immigration same thing, even police same thing.


A lot is wrong with this country, if u say it they will call you iPob, with the extortion left right centre, Nigerian government still have the guts to be saying they want to bring back toll gates.

They say Nigeria is the best place to have money is because everybody else is poor, so if u have any money every body would be on ur feet.

Yeah, we Nigerians are feeling the impact of all these achievements. The impact is enormous. Thank you Tinubu

The curse of a nation that relies heavily on consuming what others have produced.

Let's brace up for more taxes...

Let's go down together...

Where is the money?

immortalcrown:
All these audio achievements that never positively reflect in the economy....

Maybe they intentionally achieve those things to kill the economy instead of achieving those things to improve the economy.

Well said 👏

So who bears the brunt of all these trillion they generate? The poor final consumers off course, this is another cause of high inflation bin the economy, and ignorant Nigerians will applaud custom and Tinubu government doe this.

That's the only thing we hear about the money! They only brag about how much they generate, but no info about how its expended by them or FGThat's the only thing we hear about the money! They only brag about how much they generate, but no info about how its expended by them or FG...
