Recently, some people have been spreading misinformation that one can evade tax by simply using the narration “gift” on every transactions made.

Even the Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Mr Taiwo Oyedele has clarified that tax authorities do not randomly deduct money from people’s accounts and that the system is not as careless as some are making it sound.

More importantly, Islam does not permit deception. Deliberately misrepresenting income, lying about transactions, or disguising earnings to avoid responsibility is harām. This falls under falsehood and dishonesty, which Allah strictly forbids.

Allah says:
“And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know.”
(Qur’an 2:42)

Trying to escape tax by lying is not wisdom rather it is disobedience. A believer should never seek provision through deception, even when the system appears unfair.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise.”
(Bukhārī & Muslim)

If something is unjust, it should be addressed lawfully and responsibly, not through lies that stain one’s integrity and faith.

Let us fear Allah in our dealings, speak the truth, and earn only what is halal. Wealth gained through dishonesty carries no blessing.

May Allah grant us honesty, wisdom, and protection from wrongdoing.

But tinubu is a barefaced liar. Don’t you agree op

Nawa this religion again

You are right brother, I pray to Allaah to grant us leaders that will understand the plight of the people, our earnings are small, no increment but the Govt wants to keep choking us - despite that, it's still not an excuse to evade tax.

Government plans to tax the rich while poor enjoy from the process, poor Nigerians are still crying while the rich have better understanding of the process.

What do we call these poor people?

So subsidy removal isn't enough

Thank God for this tax reform. At least now, my take home will increase and remittance to government will reduce. All this while I've been paying high tax to States government without seeing result. God bless PBAT and his team on tax reform.

dis one concern muslim people

What are you saying, a man who earns 70k monthly and above will pay tax (it says if you earn 800k annually right), is a 70k person rich or poor

Religion is for the oppressed, but you see Islam gan, na something else entirely.

What I don’t like about some of these clerics and preachers is one sided take on matters.

You said Allah does not like deception because people choose to use “gift” narrative to avoid paying taxes on certain transactions. But you refused to mention that taxation in Islam is forbidden.

Also you failed to mention that leaders elected into positions are supposed to be honest and accountable to the people they represent.

Try get sense, e get why. If you don't have enough electricity doesn't mean other don't.

Very silly post! Mumu religion. A Christian thief is a thief, a Muslim thief is also a thief. Wtf are you quoting scriptures for? Olodo

If your take home increases after this tax implementation, you should be bothered about your life choices and personal development, not singing politician's praise. Leave that to those who have, at least, eaten and can thinks properly.

But many Muslims has been dying to support a man who has been lying because of his age, secondary school, parents, businesses etc for years?

Tell me why Allah will not punish them all?

🔥🔥🔥

I like this message even though I just posted in another thread about this taxes. To whom much is given, much is expected. Now, the focus is on the people not to lie, please tell DOES ISLAM PERMIT THE MANAGERS OF OUR MONEY TO SPEND OUR MONEY ON WHAT WE WILL NOT HELP US OR STEAL OUR MONEY

Why are we so comfortable to preach to the followers who are not in position of authority to obey but it becomes difficult to talk to those who manage our affairs? This is hypocrisy at its highest. To have a fair and just society, the message must be equally distributed to every everyone. Just last month, there was a public servant that Dangote accused of spending you and I's money on foreign schools. And Dangote asked, prove to me that you can afford these Swiss schools with your salary. Isn't that our taxes someone is wasting or who's paying his salary? Alhamdulillah, they are all Muslims.

No Tax If You Are Earning Below ₦800k Annually

I just need to break this down here because what you don't understand you will keep being misled.

A tax is money the government collects from people, businesses, or things you buy, to pay for public services like roads, schools, hospitals, and electricity.

Many Nigerians think only people with salaries pay tax because income tax (PAYE) is very visible, it comes straight off your paycheck. But in reality, everyone pays indirect taxes whenever they buy goods, fuel, food, use electricity, phone, or travel. The “hypocrisy” comes from the fact that government talks about income tax more because it’s easy to track, while indirect taxes are hidden in prices, so it feels like the poor or informal workers aren’t paying anything when they actually are.

What annoys me is the japa people that go abroad and yap about taxes. They want Nigeria to have the same western style. If you play with taxes abroad, you'll be shown the way out in the next election and you should also understand the white man and why he does things in a way. When you understand their history, you'll know why we are not the same.

Some countries really do not charge personal income tax at all meaning residents don’t file annual income tax returns like in the UK/US and don’t pay tax on their salaries. Examples include United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Monaco, Brunei and Vanuatu, among others. These countries still get money for government services through oil, trade, fees, or other taxes, not by taxing individual salaries. Do the maths and tell me one thing in common Nigeria has that some of these countries have. These countries fund government spending through other sources such as oil and gas revenues, corporate taxes, import duties, fees, tourism income or VAT/sales taxes, instead of taxing people’s income directly.

You need to get off this obsession with the west and trying to be like who you are not. This is the miseducation of the average African. Don't forget that in Aba and Ogun State, Women fought the imposition of taxes by the British. Many Nigerians don't even study their history. You should go and read why they didn't want the colonial government collecting taxes from them.


Historically, Western heavy taxation grew partly from scarcity and because they needed money to fund armies, wars, infrastructure, and administrative systems. Land and resources were limited, populations were growing, and scarcity of money made taxes necessary. Scarcity also came from their harsh climates, poor harvests, and limited technology, so the state had to extract more from people to survive and provide basic service, sunlike in some African systems, where wealth was shared communally rather than extracted as formal taxes. When you look at it today, the concept of Black Tax is because in Africa, we share the resources with the rest of us Ubuntu style. Learn why things are the way they are. Today, I see people teaching financial wealth and I laugh when they want us to copy westerners and their form of selfish indiduvual finance.

The Aba Women’s Riot of 1929 happened mainly because of unfair taxes and the extension of colonial authority over women. The British tried to impose direct taxes and give warrant chiefs more control, but market women in Aba protested since they had no voice in government decisions. Tens of thousands of women joined strikes and demonstrations, even attacking colonial offices, to resist being taxed and controlled unfairly. The revolt forced the British to rethink taxation and local administration, making it a turning point in Nigeria’s colonial history and showing the strength of women’s collective action.
Femi Kehinde, author of A Short Stroll Along History Avenue, brings history to life as he revisits the fearless activism of Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, a woman who redefined resistance in colonial Nigeria. In this interview, he recounts how Funmilayo mobilised the women of Abeokuta to rise against unjust taxation and challenge the colonial power structure. The revolt, a powerful act of defiance, ultimately led to the exile of the Alake of Egbaland.
Through Kehinde’s narration, we see how one woman’s courage reshaped the course of Nigerian history.

The Abeokuta Women’s Revolt: When Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti Rewrote Nigerian History

History tends to repeat itself when the people don't learn from their past.

The day Nigerians wake up to know their rights and why the government cannot just squander their money, they will wake up.
