Forgive my use of the term excise oya go back a criticise .. I will still criticise your useless failed govt
You called a Govt introducing digital platform to customs useless and failed, what the useless PDP couldn't do for 16 years. And what about you that don't know what excise duty is, what do we call you?. Opinion is cheap, even dogs have an opinion if only they could talk. So, keep talking.

Who created the problems in the first place. ? The same Tinubu administration that you're praising did.

Nigerians are the most gullible people on earth, politicians will create multiple problems then solve 30℅ of the total problems, boom Nigerians will start eulogizing them forgetting they created the problems in the first place.
Do you mean it's under Tinubu Custom start collecting different fee?

Can you explain yourself more cause I don't understand you. How did Tinubu cause it?

This is a very good news. Tinubu administration is doing a very good job. From next year a new agency will be in charge of collecting all this fee
How can you posit someone is doing a good job where their is no result or evidences.

Same Tinubu govt initiated " local govt autonomy" since last year But still nothing to show

The CNG initiative, 2years down the road what have changed, how many more filling stations or CNG mass buses have being visibly added

Asides afflicting Nigerians with more hardship what other good job is Tinubu doing

Finally what we've been waiting for. Benin republic will feel the heat.
Say all you want about PBAT, you see this fiscal and economical reforms, nobody could have done it better than him in this country.
Removing 8% only is what you are celebrating for. Who do this to una? Simple enlightenment .. zero. Tinubu should slash import duty by 50% that's when things will start changing. The money he is parking from duty is affecting the economy drastically. He needs to ease off to help the nation.

Long overdue, all sectors have to be digitalized, WAEC, NECO to start CBT by next year. Aviation, Interior, FIRS, are reaping great rewards from it.

This is what I want the most WAEC, NECO CBT. I feel this will be the beginning of a new era in this country. Students have totally lost it

Not until when you want to clear your goods you begin to see more additional charges...

More like saying police checkpoints has been dismantled.

Government and lies are more than 5 and 6.

Do not rejoice yet because this news is filled with lies.
Stop using our foreign exchange to import nonsense to the country and the Naira will become stronger.

He should slash it by 50% and destroy the local industry?. You see, you're the type that destroyed this country to this rot we are in. It's all about your myopic and greedy interests. You will sit down and complain about our economy & GDP shrinking yet you still complain when Government is making efforts to revive it. Nigerians are indeed the enemies of Nigeria.

Bros I’m not a fan of Tinubu but I will argue this with you . The creator of this huge importation problem and multiple tax started with Good luck Jonathan administration and when Buhari took he continued from there . There have never been any time Tinubu caused the problem .

How and when did he create the problems? How long do you think these policies had been in place?
I import cars from the US and Canada therefore pay duties, in 2023 alone duty was increased three good times and that's why an ordinary 2023 Corolla is selling for 8m today.

At 50 years I don't just say things because I want to say them, why do you think an ordinary 2003 Corolla that was 3.5m in 2022 now sell for 8m today ?

How did Tinubu create the problem?, Kids are too many on this forum, so much of ignorance.


You must be referring to yourself because I doubt you have ever been to any port before in your life much less knowing how it works.
Its funny how some random kid always think everyone on the internet are kids, I am 50 with two grandchildren.
I am import cars from both the US and Canada therefore pay duties while you don't, there is a reason ordinary 2003 Corolla went from 3.5m in 2022 to 8m today, not that I expect someone with your perception to know though.
Firstly I said politicians with include those before Tinubu , but everything got worse under this administration and those of us who import goods from abroad know this.

In 2023 alone duty was increased three good times, guess I was the president in that period not Tinubu.

How do you know I don't buy a car from abroad?. The first screenshot was 2012, Customs Increased duties on specific products including vehicles. You sit down and talk ignorantly as if this was ever the first time duties would be increased. Even as at 2012, there was no plan by the Govt to revive local industry. To you, it got worse because Tinubu allowed the true reflection of the value of our currency than the arbitrage and unsustainable old system. We know how hectic it was getting FX to import goods for ordinary citizens while the super rich bribed their way getting cheaper dollars than you and I. You want Govt to slash import duties to 50% , that's the most ridiculous thing I have heard from an unpatriotic element this year.
For some kids and ignorant minds, let me remind you that the Govt had granted waivers on certain food items, pharma products and heavy capital machineries which are far better in growing the local industry than the unpalatable desire for cuts in duties on cars and other imported junks which inturn put more pressure on the already scarce foreign exchange. Better start buying made in naija cars and bury the greed of unpatriotism.
Attached also is the statement of BUA to help you get better informed. Like I said, people like you killed our local industry and your thirst to kill it even further has beclouded your mind from seeing the greater future ahead.

Its a total waste of time engaging someone as empty as you, can you mention any govt that increased duty by 23% and three times in one year ?
And when I said Nigerians sing the praises of politicians , who were the set of people ruling Nigeria in 2012 ? Were they cobblers ?

Hello sir

Govt granted waiver on paper but it was never implemented on the portal.
I work directly on those desk and trade.
Till the time elapsed. It was never implemented.
Cars and almost every tangible thing was made expensive.
I'm.not here to say who to blame.
Anybody is free not to use their eyes and brain. I won't do that for any one.
But pls take the issue of waiver out.
We received circular but nothing was reflecting.
