How can Nigerians organize to resist this tax issue. Why can’t we organize ourselves to speak with one voice. People can’t even eat. Why take from them. When there is abundance, then they will have tax to pay. You can’t tax poverty or people struggling to survive.

I have been warning loudly about the tax issue long before the fraud behind it became public. Some of us run multiple online platforms where we engage daily with business owners and entrepreneurs. I can tell you, without exaggeration, how much poorer people have become because of widespread poverty in the country. To show the bad faith behind this tax law, powers were quietly inserted that effectively create a police-like tax enforcement unit, granting tax authorities coercive powers to arrest, detain, and prosecute citizens. Beyond that, they gave themselves excessive powers to seal, seize, and confiscate property for failure to pay taxes. I do not think Nigerians understand what we are up against until it begins to happen to them directly. I have remained consistent on this issue, and I will not pretend surprise when the consequences arrive. We must resist not just the implementation but even the suspension of this fraudulent tax law. If this law is allowed to stand, the poverty we see today, the insecurity we experience now, and the inflation crushing people will look mild compared to what is coming. You cannot tax poverty anywhere in the world. You do not do that. Many Nigerians are barely scratching the surface. Nigerians must wake up, resist this inhumane law, and demand accountability. Those who abused the constitution to grant themselves unchecked executive powers must be investigated and prosecuted.
