Instead of mixing ignorance with lies in order to criminally cyberbully others with a different opinion from your uncouth approach, go and read the whole essence of the cybercrime charge and how it will be managed. If you are truly a fan of sane clime, you will not make a fuss about this issue.

No poor man or woman in Nigeria will cry if 5 kobo is taken from his/her N1,000 to deliver on the mandate of the cybercrime charge. I have always been embarrassed by how on earth you want to use ignorance and lies to replace same people in authority you mock daily. Your ilk are no credible alternative at all.
Beyond insulting and scoffing, your ilk have nothing else to offer. Smh
You're always fond of defending rubbish!

The fee has been reduced very very significantly from 0.5% to 0.005% (almost zero percent!) in order not to throw away the baby with the bath water and help FG deliver on the purpose meant for the fund.

0.005% on N100k (one hundred thousand naira) for example is a paltry N5 (five naira) and N50 charge on N1 million naira so it makes absolute sense, low and fair enough in my opinion. Most transactions of the poor range between N1k and N100k so the highest a poor person will pay as cybercrime fee is N5 and lowest is 5 kobo!

There's so much at risk so there must be deliberate effort to sustain the security architecture around this crime.

Let me tell you fool what they are planning, today you think that it's fair in the next 3 months the will remove one zero making it 0.05. Because you are dump you will still come here to say that it's fair. Then withing 1 year today they will remove the last zero making it 0.5% by that time you can not have what to say again.
They know how to handle a fool like you .
Re: 0.005%: CBN To Reintroduce Cybersecurity Levy On Electronic Transactions by seunayantokun(m):
One of the reasons given by CBN is Nigerians must pay to help strengthen the defence of banks in the country against cyber-insecurity. Isn't that correct?

Is there any other way to show that Nigerians have been taken for fools by the government? Tell them you wanna load them with burdens - like beasts of burden. If they cry, start with 0.005% and build it up later. After all, isn't it reasonablly better to feed suffering to a fool piecemeal?

Can't even the mentally blind see what a wonder-working accountant can do now? They run their economy by plucking off the hair on their customers strand by strand in the interest of the customers.

Do I say good morning, good luck or good night, Nigerians?

Might sound low, but have you considered the multiplier effect, millions of Nigerians uses bank for ttransactions.. imagine 10 million Nigerians decided to bless your account with #5 today is it still a paltry

Considering the corruption index and trajectory of other service charge their is nothing fair about funds that will be diverted from it purpose, the stamp duties, and maintenance fees among other bank charges what has it mitigate
This funds will end up in private pocket, it will be looted and Nigerians will be fed stories again, for how long will baboons work and monkeys go dey chop

I weep for Nigeria. In a year this may go up to the actual value. This is gradual and phased introduction.

What is it, that Nigerian Government offers to its people. A Nigerian pays for everything.

Is the govt not listening to the cry if it's peoplehuh Haba!!!.
The more they cry, the more the Government imposes more tough measures with no reprieve of any kind. Haba

Modified: what a waste of a human, I'm sure you skipped classes in high school

Now let me school you dum-bo

0.005% of #100,000 is = #500
0.005% of #1,000,000 is = #5,000



You dum-bo shouldn't skip school next time😡😡
Your outbursts went overboard.

I didn't want to comment on this thread until I started seeing highly incorrect calculations by some posters on this thread.

Your calculations right above are WRONG. The guy (FreeStuffsNg) you originally quoted is absolutely right with his mathematical calculations which he obviously did with a calculator and which a Primary 3 pupil should know.

1% of 100 = 1
1% of 1000 = 10
1% of 100,000 = 1,000

[Taking the 3rd figure above which is 100,000]
1%÷100= 0.01×100,000 = 1,000

Therefore:

0.005% (Is smaller than 1%)

0.005% of 100,000 = 5

0.005% of 1,000,000 = 50


Summary:
Taking 0.005% of NGN100,000
0.005%÷100= 0.00005 × NGN100,000 = NGN5

He is not widening the tax net but increasing the tax burden!
They are mentally lazy to widening the tax net because government needs to be up-to-date to do that. A country that doesn't exactly know the number of her population! So, what they result to is to burden and squeeze the view ones in the net dry!

Mr Freestuff.
Your analysis is false and Misleading.
0005% of N100,000 is not paltry N5. It is not even N50. It is N500. And N5000 will be the fee for N1,000,000 transaction. And it will be N50,000 for N10,000,000. Given the level of devaluation of the naira. Where $1000usd is equal to N1,663,000.

How reasonable is it to defend such stupid and exploitative levy?

Bear in mind, if I send N10,000,000 to someone for a project, 50k will be debit along othe charges, the project manager will also get debited by equal amount if he spends the same amount and everyone who receives this amount will also get the debit alert as long as the payment keeps going.

With the velocity of digital payment that is even higher than the velocity of cash, that N10,000,000 will generate N6,000,000 within Six months for CBN. Only fellow economics will understand.

Now, every company is expected to provide security and safety for its factory, where houses and shops. But despite the trillions that the banks declare every year and the lavish lifestyles of the Bank MDs and Directors, but the hapless and helpless nigerians are expected to pay for the security and safety of the banking transactions which they are already being charges all manners of charges from stamp duty, electronic levy, card maintenance etc.

And this notion that the poor will not be significantly affected is a white lie.

The same stupid argument was made for removal of fuel subsidy, that only the man with 5 SUVs will suffer the removal of fuel. Now we all know better.

If this useless and senseless cybercrime levy is implemented, even the telecom companies will add the levy to their data price.

The poor will still pay the money because every business will mark up their prices with the levy. The big man, the companies and traders can push the levy to the consumers of their products. .

Now let us go into the history of how such money will be used.

Just look at the stamp duties proceeds so far. What do we see. No accountability.

Only the poor will be dealt with severely.

History is the best teacher, Tinubu has been repeating the same formulae of Structural Adjustment Program of Babangida in 1985.

Because IMF and World Bank wants Africa to remain underdeveloped.

He has not paid enough attention to Agriculture, Solid Mineral Mining where we can make far more than Crude Oil and engage more nigerians in real employment.

We cannot develop this economy with crippling economic policies. Unfortunately Tinubu and his team seem to know everything and are in "god mode".

I just hope they will change the course before it is too late
