JUST IN: FG slams new tax on telephone calls

The Federal Government has slammed a new tax on phone calls in the nation to fund free healthcare for the Vulnerable Group in Nigeria.

The telecom tax in the equivalent of a minimum of one kobo per second for phone calls is a part of the sources of funds required to finance free healthcare for the Vulnerable Group in Nigeria. The act includes a provision under Section 26 subsection 1c which states that the source of money for the Vulnerable Group Fund includes telecommunications tax, not less than one kobo per second of GSM calls.

One day the cup of general protest will full because our leaders are pushing us against the wall of poverty with the use unworkable, unfavourable and anti-peoples policies.

Make dem continue..Shey na money everybody dey fine...I just pray e no go reach were all man go dey carry gun..since all sector dey inflat everything..

Elongating the suffering of the masses.

They should not forget to tax our BLOOD!!!

Why nah 😢😭

Election money must be sourced at all costs.

Instead of you to cut the cost of governance you prefer to tax the same vulnerable people to pay vulnerable peoples bill. It seems like we are on auto pilot

There's no problem without a solution,are u suffering from Diabetes or you know someone who is suffering from Diabetes?There's good news for them today,with my powerful Herbal mixture,I can cure Diabetes in less than two weeks,that weakness,weak erection nd half blindness will go

This I am totally against and there should be revolt against it. You have been borrowing for consumption and you are now expecting citizens to take the role of government in supporting free healthcare.. a very wrong idea from a wasteful government

That's the only thing A P C government know how to do best

There's serious problem in this country...

I hope this government won't kill us with huge Tax on calls,banks charges e.t.c,very soon APC government will mandate it to pay tax on humanbeing breath in and breath out. Paying tax doesn't pain me,but the must painful is embezzlement of the money.

Indeed in the end some people will still loot the money and would not care about the poor.

If the government can not pay they should vacant the seat, they are life unbearable for us, they have cause hardship and joblessness now they want to add to it, being a Nigerian is a cream, overhead cost of the lawmakers and ministers should be slash

New tax that will be stolen by the same people. This government is a scam

WhatsApp call cheaper

Government continues to create Agencies/Funds as conduit for corruption. The funds would be collected & dissipated by cronies. Quite unfortunate for Nigeria.

Some will come into conclusion that, 90% Nigerians are corrupt, and quick to commit crime. Though the statistic might be wrong, but with just 10% of Nigerian who are not into crime or evil practice, Nigeria can still be great. If you are among the 10% follow AGreatNigeria3 now

Borussia Dortmund dey do sim?

After dividing their subscribers with stupid NIN, they realise the tax they are getting now is not up to before so they want to deal with us more. APC is mad

Is there any item or services in Nigeria that have not been increased under the miserable, wayward, incompetent and clueless regime of calamity PMB?

Lol

WhatsApp call will solve that now

So you slash health and education budget to subsidize petroleum products, then now turn to tax the citizens to make up for the health budget that IN YOUR FULL WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING you reduced...... Issokay!

These old goats really should be butchered

Just kukuma kill us finish 😭

Please God quicken May 29,2022 to come, and we shall all say in loud voices 'Never Again'

It is we that will still pay these taxes , we pay high taxes on everything but still nothing to show for it . No stable electricity,no good roads, no potable water, no security at all , health insurance = 0 .

Keep adding to the hardship in the country. Wicked souls

Why can’t we just unite and fight these old men
