Above is Mr Taiwo Oyedele advocating against the indiscriminate excessive taxation policy of government when he was not yet in the system. Today is he is shalaying the same evil He is not only heading the Tinubu’s government neck-constricting taxation policy, but also championing policies that will further suffocate ordinary Nigerians with gusto using all manner of dubious explanations that are incongruent with modern day economic realities. He is now defending what he criticized in 2019-20 even though the tax is now more higher, not minding if what he is supporting now is bringing additional suffering and hard times to the ordinary Nigerians just because it favours you. It’s funny how our values, principles and moral uprightness often change suddenly once people are privileged to be in power. Now, he seems to have retrograde amnesia that no government has ever become wealthy by taxing poverty? Men of zero principles and double standards. 75 Likes 5 Shares |

"Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political career reveals a consistent pattern of double standards, where he often opposed economic policies as an opposition figure only to adopt the same measures once in power. -1). Tinubu opposed Obasanjo’s fuel tax as well as price hikes in the early 2000s, yet reintroduced fuel-related levies in 2023. -2). Tinubu challenged Obasanjo’s VAT regime along with federal revenue control, but now promotes VAT harmonization together with stronger federal tax authority. -3). Tinubu condemned Jonathan’s fuel subsidy removal in 2012 while mocking the SURE-P palliative schemes, yet removed the subsidy while rolling out cash transfers in 2023. -4). Tinubu supported Buhari’s refusal to devalue the naira in addition to warning against VAT increases in 2021 (“let the poor breathe”), yet unified exchange rates while expanding taxation as president. -5). Tinubu once criticized IMF/World Bank prescriptions including subsidy removal, devaluation, privatisation, as well as tax reforms. Ironically, they are now central to his administration. -6). Even Tinubu's warnings against excessive borrowing have been reversed, given that his government has taken new loans to fund reforms. Now, If Tinubu claims that the policies he once antagonized but now embraces will move Nigeria forward, it implies that for all these years Tinubu have been among those dragging Nigeria backward through blind or politically motivated opposition rather than principled critique...."

I just want people to understand that Taiwo Oyedele is not more powerful than your Senators, House of Reps members. Let's learn to direct our concern to the proper place. The guy can be sacked tomorrow by Tinubu but the person who represents you are those people. They are the ones that can challenge you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

They think they will be in government forever. They should continue rolling out all manner of anti-people taxations to generate more money they will loot in the name of project executions and contracts. Very soon they will leave government and become ordinary citizens, by then they will understand how terrible their taxation policies of today are. 24 Likes 1 Share |

Racoon:Propagandists at work! No new tax is being introduced. The new tax law is just trying to entrench taxation in Nigeria and reduce the burden on the common man! Do you guys even know that if PAYE is calculated based on the new minimum wage and old taxation policy, you will pay more? 2 Likes |

Too many uneducated people in Nigeria. He is right. The new tax law does not tax poverty but the rich. If you are poor, you will pay no tax If you are rich you pay a fair tax. Too many sheeps just listening to propagandists 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Maturity is not criticising when you do not have the details. Do not become the expert in charge when you are not in charge (even you are an expert in the field); else, you will become Oyedele. 1 Like |

He's still not taxing poverty but untaxing poverty. This new tax law favours the poor and those who have been paying tax before. You are paying zero if you earn not more than N800,00pa. Not paying VAT, CIT, Withholding tax, etc if your company is making not more than N100 million in a year. Big company CIT reduced from 30% to 25% VAT rate has not changed from the old 7.5% Only people who need to worry are very high networth individuals and that makes the new tax law progressive. And people who have not been paying before need to worry. The main burden is just the enforcement which is now brutal. The new tax law shall favour me, my family and business by God's grace! 2 Likes |
