No Tax, No Citizenship — Tinubu Defends Taxation Of Nigerians Amid Economic Hardship | Sahara Reporters bit.ly/3RbXqub

English

Today, we are once again witnessing the reckless abuse of @policenh powers against social media users in Nigeria.
What is even more disturbing is how some Nigerian celebrities now appear more eager than politicians and security agencies to throw largely poor young Nigerians into prison under the guise of “cybercrime,” simply because of internet banter or comments they dislike.
I have read reports about singers like @Simi and @AdekunleGold allegedly using the police against critics online, and now similar allegations involving @ayrastarr and others keep surfacing.
Meanwhile, these same celebrities sit comfortably among international stars abroad demanding respect and award for creative freedom and artistic expression, yet many of those global celebrities would never (and functioning systems) won’t let them weaponize the police, corrupt prosecutors, or compromised court judges against ordinary citizens over free speech or online commentary.
This growing culture of criminalizing speech, jokes, criticism, trolling, and online banter is dangerous to democracy and fundamentally incompatible with freedom of expression.
The real shame belongs to the irresponsible Nigeria Police Force @PoliceNG and sections of the justice system that continue enabling these abuses instead of protecting citizens’ rights.
The police must stop acting as private enforcers for the rich, connected and powerful. Nigerians cannot continue to be shipped to prison because influential people are offended online.

Tax Is A Priority, Development Cannot Be Achieved Without Citizens Paying Tax— President Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to consistently pay taxes, saying it is the foundation for achieving national development and funding public services.
Speaking on Friday at the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, he said citizens often demand better infrastructure such as hospitals and roads but are unwilling to provide the tax contributions needed to deliver them.
“Nobody wants to pay taxes. Taxation is not friendly to the wealthy, middle class, and to the poor,” he said, noting that people expect development without considering how it will be financed. He questioned how government can provide healthcare, support vulnerable citizens, or invest in research and development without adequate tax revenue.
He added, “Tax is a priority. A citizen who pays tax is a citizen, whether corporate or individual. If you are not a taxpayer and not exempted, then you are not a citizen,” stressing that tax payment is a civic responsibility.
Tinubu also defended his administration’s economic reforms, describing them as difficult but necessary to stabilize the economy. He said Nigeria could not continue unsustainable subsidy spending and practices that encourage inefficiency and smuggling.
“It was very necessary to reset, recalibrate and reform the economy. It is a fake life to think you can, in a global economy, continue the subsidy that is wasteful, it is an encouragement for falsification of papers and smuggling,” he said.
He noted that many states were struggling financially, with “27 of them” unable to pay workers’ salaries, questioning the sustainability of such a system.
Describing the reforms as painful but necessary, he said, “It is difficult, it is painful… but… will have a very big smile when you see the live child.”
