Is the new law made to tax your data or tax the companies making money from Nigeria? If Nairaland is paying taxes in Nigeria, why should Facebook, Netflix, Twitter etc not pay taxes from the revenue made in Nigeria?

Are these companies paying taxes in Europe or not? So, why should they not pay taxes in Nigeria despite generating income from the country?

Will the next government not benefit from the tax reforms that the current government is carrying out? Must you guys criticize everything?
See, this new law is long overdue. It should have been in place a long time ago.

It's a tool to stop Facebook from telling the world what is happening in Nigeria, it has nothing to do with tax.
Watch has Facebook is going to disappear in Nigeria. Don't forget that Facebook is not making much money in Nigeria.

Those cabals are very smart

thariodamaniac:

so because every one is jumping inside swimming pool the one dat doesnt know how to swim should follow shay??
Some companies will simply stop allowing nigerians use their services so they dont pay tax.... It probably because you havent come to a forum that was very important to ur development and you see something like "sorry we dont accept nigerian".... We are meant to look forward to what will benefit us not cripple us

Will you keep quiet!! Somebody came to your house, took your stuff and sold it. Kept the money to himself. We Nigerians need to examine ourselves well.

Do you even know what these people do to foreigners in their country.

From the bottom of my heart eeeh. You are a VERY BIG FOOL!!!!

How does your data get depleted? You dont pay for You tube too.
How do you seperate adverts meant for Nigeria in Lagos, UK or America?

Fasindo:


Very good policy from Buhari.


Buhari should also tax Nigerians b4 they can comment on Facebook, Nairaland, Twitter etc.

Tnx God Buhari don't have access to God, if not he would ask him to pay tax b4 creating any Nigerian citizen.

The only people Buhari would always exempt from tax are his Fulani herdsmen brothers.

The only economic policy Buhari knows how to do is to Borrow nd Tax.

Lostz:


you mean we have not been surviving without them?

Openbusiness:

Guy they have been surviving without you and they will survive without you. They don't need you more than you need them. It's you that need them more than they need you. So stop overhyping this shithole country with a shithole government abeg. Let FB, IG, Twitter, Netflix etc pull the plug on your fake country for one week, just one week, let's see if half of your population won't sink into mental depression and insanity . Abi you think na nairaland and linda ikeji blog be the thing wey dey keep your country minds engaged?

SeverusSnape:


We don suffer for this country under this administration. Tax that they will still embezzle, Afterwards, They run to IMF or China for loan.

gideonvalor98:


Bros, you dey mind them..when most of the institutions in their region is nothing to write home about...is it lecturer that is only settlement or blocking he sabi...or students that all they know is arm robbery, kidnapping and prostitution ..if you meet most of the graduate from that region during service year, you will pity Nigeria future. That's why I referred to them as 'literate illiterates' cos they pass through school but school didn't pass through them.. Is it not someone that read and digest a writeup, that will give a reasonable comment?
Some of them here, will wait for their fellow bigots to comment and follow suit, they wouldn't even read the post. See! Just leave them to be expressing their foolishness online.
To say they are half-baked sef is an understatement cos Some of them were only expose to the oven heat while the rest weren't even close to the oven.

Jamesbiodun:
you make call you pay tax
you send message you pay tax
you send money you pay tax
most of the things we do we pay tax yet we are underdeveloped and one of the poorest country.
no good road network ,poverty had bedridden us, this country is a hell hole

kingawothefirst:


Yes as long as you are making money in that country you are liable to be taxed on the profit earned in that country. I mean this concept is as ancient as the stone age

How much did they pay you too insult me or are you part of luters stealing our money?

Odogwunaeast:


Nobody is insulting you. Truth is truth. No country in the world will function normally without taxes. Don't give your country away my brother. Don't allow yourselve to be colonized.

Nomatter what happens, you are a Nigerian first!.
Learn not to carry your family problems to a foreigner to sove for you.
They will only laugh at you.
If you reside outside Nigeria, you will understand.
Nomatter what happens Nigeria is still your country.
Atleast, Nigeria gives you a home and a sense of belonging.
Nevertheless, we have to engage our leaders and fight for our right. That's how other countries do.
No sane person sales his or her country out.
they do because we encourage them. And if its a foreigner, he will do worst!

Love yourself brother.

Guy they have been talking our scarce resources outside for too long.

Now nigerians cannot protest again.

You are always tribalistic. How much does text message /call cost now after tax? Who is paying for it. Increase in DSTV due to tax, South Africans are paying for it?
When we reason, lets do it educatively and objectively. When government start taxing facebook and the rest, it means you spend more on data, which will be bore by your pockets. In a capitalist economy, tax regime is bore by the consumer, thereby increasing the cost of goods and services.
Sentiment does not solve any issue.

In developed countries people get tax rebates yearly.
Even travellers get tax returns for some items bought at malls at the airports.

We will solve our problems internernally. In a united fashion without foreigners. The u.s.a will never let a foreigner solve their problem. Why should you?..
See eeh am not encouraging our politicians. But they do what they do because we encourage them. And if its a foreigner, he will do worst!
Be a good ambassador of your country. Nomatter what. Never ever make the mistake of thinking that a foreigner has your best interest. Its a lie..
Example is globacom. Did you not see how mtn was doing us before glo came into the mix. Glo is a Nigerian company. They were the first to start supporting local artists.
Look at Shoprite. Do you know that almost all there goods are imported from south africa. Do you know why? Its because they only care about your money, not your wellbeing. They don't care about you. Look at what they are doing to our people in south africa.

Eventhough glo network is not so good, i will still pick them because that is what your average American will do. Why? Because they will never allow themselves to be colonized.
Brother, lets stop self hate and love ourselves. That is the only way we can be respected. If the foreigner sees that you are united, they will run. Trust me. You become invincible to them.
Love yourself brother.
