Can you imagine this thief

odejimioflagos:
Atiku should focus on his own party and leave the government alone. We have a president that is doing great things.

Is this part of the corruption he was doing in the past?

I was waiting for you to come and tell him what to focus on

You never fail with different monikas yet you cannot focus on anything outside nairaland

A thief cometh to steal and to destroy but iam cometh to monetize the country and efficiently.

Baba Atiku-should Rest,I take God Beg you!

-CAN YOU tell us what we did not know in that Book,when you were in the government then?
Former' People Full Nigeria,I beg!

Atiku should go and chop grass

You will soon chop the grass, mark my words!

Xpress payment have been incharge of revenue collection for Ogun state parastatals. I know of this , a while now.

My God. What kind of criminal precedence is Tinubu creating in this country for God sake. He wants to monopolise Nigeria the way he did in Lagos. Is this man not thinking at all? No wonder he wants one party state so as to turn Nigeria to his property. I wonder how a sane person will continue to support this cruelty and injustice. This man is truly evil.

As usual
Insult the messenger while ignoring the message
All for 30k

Tinibu loves shaddy deals and contracts that was how the lagos calabar coastal road of fraud was started without any public bidding or oversight from the national assembly.

There is absolutely nothing negative that one cannot find in that certificate forger, a known drug baron, agbero and tout call president. He does not understand simple economy index, but he claimed to have studied accountancy from a school not known to the world. I don't even know where he comes from. We are in our worse moment as a nation. What a country!

The guy is a criminal the yorubas supports him because they know he will help them steal enough from the national purse

TSA goes to CBN. what is this company doing ?

Salewa97:
Atiku should stop being petty.

The TSA system has been in existence even before president Tinubu's administration.

Why is he only interested in anything that has to do with Tinubu?

Oga, I'm a Tinubu supporter but not a blind one. Can you just be sensible? It's not everything that should be politicised.

nickae:
This only concerns Tax Remittance though - Xpress Payment Solutions Limited, one of Nigeria’s leading financial technology companies, has been officially appointed as Collecting Agent for the Federal Inland Revenue Service under the Treasury Single Account framework.

And what does that mean ?

Why do we need another body to do the job only Firs can do and has been doing?

WriterX:
The real danger in this situation is very simple: the government is quietly handing Nigeria’s revenue collection to a private company in the same way Lagos once handed its tax system to Alpha Beta. That move created a powerful private cartel that controlled public money for years. Now, that same model is being copied at the national level.

Let’s break it down so everyone here whether you understand how taxes and revenues work or not understands what is at stake:

1. A private company has secretly been inserted into the national TSA system.
TSA is supposed to be government-to-government. No middlemen. No private toll gates. So why is a private firm suddenly receiving federal revenue?


2. This is exactly how Alpha Beta started in Lagos.
A “consultant” is brought in, takes a percentage of public funds, becomes untouchable, and turns public revenue into a private pipeline. Lagos is still dealing with the consequences.


3. Doing this quietly—without debate, without the National Assembly, without stakeholders—is not normal governance. It’s stealth.
When governments hide a decision, it means the decision cannot survive sunlight.


4. It is being done while the country is burning.
Nigerians are being kidnapped and killed; yet the focus is on creating new private revenue channels. That shows wrong priorities and a worrying lack of empathy.


5. No one has explained what extra value Xpress Payments brings.
TSA already works with secure government platforms. Why add a middleman? Who benefits from this? Certainly not Nigerians.


6. This is how state capture begins.
When a small group quietly positions itself between the country and its money, the nation is no longer run by institutions—it’s run by a network.


7. Atiku is right to raise the alarm.
Because if this becomes normal, Nigeria will slide into a system where public money is controlled by private interests with political ties.


In plain terms:

If this move is allowed to stand, Nigeria’s national treasury will slowly turn into a private franchise—just like Lagos’s tax system did. And the public won’t even realise when the shift becomes permanent.

This is why transparency, disclosure, public inquiry, and suspension of the appointment are necessary. Not because of politics—but because Nigeria cannot afford to put its revenue in private hands while insecurity and poverty are destroying lives.

If the government has nothing to hide, let it open the books. If it refuses, Nigerians already know what that means.

And just imagine all of this is going on at a time when the someone recently said he is pained and disturbed at the rise of insecurity.

Words mean nothing when actions says otherwise!!

When you all point to Lagos as if it has crumbled or gone bankrupt due to Alpha Beta one begins to see why Nigeria is not working with your obsolete,asinine ideas.
If not for just complain sake from the opposition,Alpha Beta to me,has helped Lagos to grow economically.No entity is flawless but it is better than govt to govt that has bankrupted Nigeria which has all resources to be greater than any nation in Africa but for endemic corruption.
You cannot be doing something the same way every time and expect different answers.
Comparing Nigerian system to Lagos is like comparing life and death.
Lagos manages its affairs better than Nigeria.
This is why Lagos as a city,is the 2nd Economy in Africa.
If Alpha Beta were bad,a retinue of states wouldn't join them in order to grow themselves economically.
The only thing necessary is to give Xpress whatever top-notch monitoring and periodical scrutiny.

And does that mean ?

FIRS was using Remita previously. Remita is a private entity too collecting revenue for most government agencies. so they are just changing the payment agent

you mean this company dey take over from remita ?

frog12:

so it seems, cos all the time i paid my taxes in FIRS, it was through REMITA.
However this is from FIRS:

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has dismissed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s criticism of the appointment of Xpress Payment Solutions Limited as one of the platforms under its Treasury Single Account (TSA) revenue collection framework, describing his claims as “incorrect and misleading.”

“For clarity, the FIRS does not operate any exclusive or single-gateway revenue-collection arrangement,” the statement said.

“The system is a multi-channel, multi-PSSP (Payment Solutions Service Provider) framework involving several long-established platforms, including Quickteller, Remita, Etranzact, Flutterwave, and XpressPay.”

According to the agency, the PSSPs form part of a transparent and competitive ecosystem designed to make tax payment more convenient for Nigerians.

It further clarified that PSSPs are not collection agents and do not earn processing fees or revenue percentages. All funds paid through the platforms, the statement noted, go directly into the Federation Account without diversion or private control.

@your last paragraph, what's Xpress whatever coming to do that's not being done by TSA already?

I know the Xpress company. They have been helping state governors siphon money belongings to the state for long. Their parent company is an accounting firm.
