They literally locked us out of twitter oo… Asin, we were using VPN to log into twitter, and twitter influencers couldn’t make money off twitter for 2 years because it was a banned platform. And you people are using same twitter to campaign for these people?? You’re a Twitter influencer, and you’re using same source of livelihood that was cut out for years, to campaign for them??? Hai! Chineke!

They collect VAT, WHT, HAT, MAT… a long list of taxes, but they don’t provide you job. You manage to create one yourself, they don’t provide you light. You manage to buy generator, but fuel isn’t even subsidized. You spend three time more on your work amnesties because whether you’re a white collar or blue collar worker, the prices of your work tools keep increasing by the day. You work online? You spend so much on data. You’re a chef? Food items keep getting more expensive. You work 9 to 5, your transportation cost/ fuel cost has tripled but your salary hasn’t. You’re spending more to make same thing you’ve been making, or even lesser factoring in inflation. But tax remains, because whether it’s a bank transaction, or a client paying you, there’s a tax attached. But light is bad. Health care is expensive. Roads are depleted. Education gets more expensive. And you wonder, what then are they doing with these taxes??? 30k to 60k people make an online transaction every minute in Nigeria, a flat VAT for each of these transactions. Do the maths! 50 naira x 60k people is 3 million per minute. 2,160,000,000 every day! Where is this money going??? What sector reflects these taxes? Do you not see you’re being robbed???
