I recently looked at the tax bill coming into effect from January 2026 and I began asking myself questions. This bill does not in any way look African nor does it tally with the reality of Nigeria or any African country.
A 5% tax for fuel bought. I asked myself why an oil country is paying tax for a product they virtually have. Is fuel a commodity that is not found anywhere in Nigeria? I looked at the income tax and that is where I knew these policies are not tallying with the reality of Nigeria at all.
Anyone that works abroad, get deducted money from their payslip as income tax. That tax is used to assist the economy and those unemployed in form of benefits. If I am being charged for income tax, what is it used for? We do not have a benefit scheme in Nigeria nor does an average individual have a tax number. So does it want to take shape in this country?
I will keep saying it;
Nigerians need to wake up and start questioning their leaders.
This current hardship was actually brought upon us by us because we do not want to save ourselves.
Every policy I have looked at under this administration, does not look Nigerian at all. This administration is focused on numbers (like those abroad), but never focused on the reality on ground. How can you tax a set of people when unemployment is in double digits? What is Nigeria producing?
What this whole thing is showing us is we have lawmakers who are to lazy to think, evaluate, analyse and produce policies that match the current Nigeria. Either everything na copy and paste
OR
Someone(s) are manipulating the presidency from the shadows and the president is signing off policies that aren't making sense.
Take a hard look at those policies, they do not match today's Nigeria. 5% tax to reduce fossil fuel consumption and enhance green energy. We still cannot create 24/7 power supply and U want to cut off fossil fuel. Nigeria is not industrialised, yet the policies are so focused on green energy. The entire Nigerian green house emissions, is not up to that of US and some developed nations. Yet, we dey focus hard on green energy. How?
You want to do income tax when the average Nigerian does not have tax number. Instead of a tax organisation to handle it like HMRC, it is the Nigerian banks that will automatically deduct it from the bank accounts. No be robbery be that?
Nigerians ask Urselves serious questions. If U think these policies under Tinubu are normal, then Una never ready. Taxation is now MASSIVE in Nigeria all of a sudden. Taxation in a country that people struggle to feed a day and unemployment is astronomically high?
When we are ready to sit down and reason things, we will understand that Tinubu na puppet and someone(s) dey control am. We are so screwed.
