Rubbish

For only #570,467.40k, one has to pay #165,592.25k into government's account...

Most business this days,
Investing #570,467,40k, may not produce up to #165,592.25k as gain.

I thought we are supposed to be protected/ helped by the government?
Why are they so mean to us...

They don't want to hear the masses complain...

Oh lord help us!

Reliance on the government will result in too much taxes not less.

DameB:
This is horrible

How about someone carrying knockoffs?

They prosecute you, for buying fake goods..........

This government is wicked and clueless. What if they are my wears? I will also be charged? God should end the project Nigeria, it's a failed project.

djdutch:
clown

better one.

This is outrageous.... One hell of a duty to be paid to a government that is not accountable

Next level

This is a foolish policy.

How much is #50,000 in American dollars.

If u want to copy global standards at least do it well

What kind of law is that? So if I'm travelling into Nigeria and bring in a packet of chenodal tablet which I use to treat my gallstones (assuming I'm a patient) and cost about $45,000 and not produced in Nigeria, I'll have to pay customs an exorbitant fee?

We are in trouble in this country o.

WICKEDNESS!
They want us to look poor ? Not travel ? What exactly do they want ?
When are we protesting this? is it until they start charging us for breathing ?
When are we protesting this rubbish!? They keep throwing things at us and nobody is saying or doing anything about it.
For every stupid law they make there's an exemption for them in the north
Have we lost our minds ?

How can they charge N165k for N507k?

Why is this Govt so inhumane?

Lol... You’re the typical Nigerian ! Always calling upon God or some other supernatural entity.

We are in a democracy ... and in a democracy the rule of law is sacrosanct , and who enacts these laws? The reps of the people (NA).

Why? Because they’re deemed to be acting on the wishes of their people (which is then balanced out “2/3” to ensure absolute majority )

I’ll keep saying these things , FG is not our problem , neither the Judiciary ... Nigeria’s problem is the NA! And docile citizens.

It’s just a question of amending a ridiculous law!

Can we take it upon ourselves to drink it into the ears of the authority that having to pay over #160,000 for a #570,000 item is too exploitative, mean, unfair and unreasonable.

We are in a serious mess.

This country is an Evil forest.

It is not acceptable for Customs to tell us they are following law. We want them to cite the particular code/s that applies to the case and we can independently verify for our own interpretation.

Most of these law enforcement agencies are not trained on citations at all....and if they are they are ignorant of its application.

Which code is Customs applying to this lady? We want know...

Hmmm.... is.this why we no longer be ehmmm..... spotting celebrities in Dubai on shopping sprees?.... I don't want to imagine how much Jim Iyke had to pay... maybe he's still being detained since he was last spotted dripping with Luis Vuitton bags.

N50K worth of personal stuff...... only deportees wouldn't meet that figure.

printemps:
Them wan just recover all the money wey dem use do election, una neva see anything. This na the beginning of the end of the one chance change abi next level of chain wey una enter.

This is state sanctioned robbery! It’s obvious this is another policy dreamed up by these crooks that will affect southerners more!

They’d be running their filthy paws through all your suitcases looking for any valuable items (even those you got as gifts) to charge you cutthroat duty on!

This is the worst government ever!!
we have made the biggest mistake as a nation.
A country of 200 million people with lots of educated and outstanding people and this is the kind of president we can provide ? There's a big chance he is not even aware of this development.

I thought the VP was a man of God? Why is all this happening under his watch and he can't do anything about it ?
How do business people international businesses strive here ? How do poor people ever become rich ? If they want money, there are more than 100 ways to do it instead of enforcing stupid policies.

We have made the biggest mistake as a nation! I regret voting for this govt.
Start saving money for a visa..

The North is ready to fully show that the country belongs to them and they are convinced nobody can do anything about it.

Can we even start talking about division ?

Our politicians are they paying this tax or is it only for those not in government? The Nigeria Customs has a duty to build the confidence of Nigerians and substantiate their claim on Nigerians paying this tax by publishing the list of Nigerian politicians who have this tax this year.

You are forgetting something that the item in question is a luxury item
Luxury.......
This is good for people like davido, wizkid that brag about their wears.
I guess it is to discourage foreign goods
But it is too high

Capitalism; loading gradually.

Mumu people. Apparently every luggage attracts duties then. Which bag would be worth less than N50,000? Or isn’t N50,000 just about $130

djdutch:
Front page Lalastiscala. Nigeria has descended to a full fledged zoo.

this one doesn't have sense, I am sure if u read the above u wont type nonsense. HOW OLD ARE YOU?

It’d take an average deportees’ 2 shoes to surpass that amount. How much is a shoe, wrist watch, etc? Very clueless people.

Nawa o... do Nigerians traveling abroad get treated this way over there

If the value of your bag is 100k, then you pay duty.
National Assembly should do something about that archaic law. It has become unreasonable

And some eediots will keep blabbing that bubu mean well for us that voted him into power, one cannot but wonder if such eediots actually think before talking

The question is where did this draconian law come from? Even the duty tariff is vampiric.
