I'm dropping the use of cards ASAP

CBN squeezing out money anyhow from the masses. This istration is so f*cked up. Border closed, inflation on the go, no security, no freedom of speech, high taxes and yet still the same salary...

it would only be acceptable if it's transaction above 5k. then the N50 should be on us the customers.

I’ll never pay that N50 because I consider it highway robbery. I pay cash or do bank transfer.

Very good! Nigerians envy the likes of US, UK, , etc, but they're not ready to do half of what those countries citizens did or are doing that make their country so prosperous - a big irony! What's ₦50 that educated youths have been complaining about for months now? Do you think if French people don't pay taxes, VAT, etc, they'll be where they are today? In most developed countries, almost everything you buy or sell is taxed, so why the fuss here over a mere N50?

The problem is not paying tax, it is what our leaders have done with the tax they have received.

Our government is just creating problems for masses.Who wants to say now that,what they are doing is good ?...

Spacious 4 bedroom bungalow for SALE in ONITSHA, asking price is 16 million naira, the price is negotiable but if you get buyer for 16 million naira, the house owner will give you a commission of Five hundred thousand naira, call/chat the owner on whatsapp via 09032290584 to get more details and pictures of the house.

The house is a very big 4 bedroom bungalow, it has 2 sitting rooms, all the bedrooms has toilet/bath, it has a big kitchen with store, the bigger sitting room has a toilet, the compound has 3 block dog cages and a parking store and generator house with an overhead tank.

Greed is the start of liquidity

Okay tell me ever since we've emulated the tax stuff, what has changed?... I'm sure you can't tell me people aren't paying their taxes now with this cbn policy did anything changed on infrastructure aspects?.

Oga, the countries you are talking about are seeing what they are paying for, but Nigerians are not. The countries you are talking about did not wait to tax citizens before putting up infrastructures as they sought out a way and they then maintain the standard with tax which can further develop other aspects but here government go for loan, they will embezzle it and keep increasing tax left and right and yet embezzle it. So is it the fault of the citizens or those in political leadership capacity.

The N50 is not tax, but a fee. People will still be asked to paid VAT, which is equivalent to sales tax that you referred to as operated in developed countries.

There is nothing like POS fees when you want to buy merchandise in the US. Though some merchants will add a fee if the cost of goods/services you are buying is below a particular threshold set by them and you can skip the fees by paying with cash or up your purchase to at least the minimum, which in most cases is like $10.

The other place you are charged fees is when you are using third party ATM machines for withdrawal, which already happens in Nigeria and in the US some banks will refund the ATM fees.

I don't know much about Nigeria
But one thing is sure....this Naija is a sinking ship...

Wow

People are resistant to the policy because there is no ability. We have heard of SureP when pump price was increased with all the promises. If people are sure the revenue generated will be put to effective use where everybody can feel and enjoy it, they will not complain

That cap of 1000 naira is really too low, something around the region of 5000 naira would have been better.

The countries you just mentioned do they have steady power supply ?

Godwin Emefiele’s tenure as CBN governor has been the worst.

I see big men and women complaining about this 50 Maura tax whenever am in a supermarket.
It's very funny. I mean, 50 naira?
I don't know if it's just part of our greedy tendencies or it's poverty of the mind in disguise.
Same way I see grown ass men and women buying cooked food in those small transparent plastic bags that can't be worth more than 1 or 2 Naira.
After finishing such a meal, they look for a place and spend in excess of 5 thousand naira on drinks.
Then u ask ur self how a man that complains about paying for a takeaway plastic of 100 naira, willingly spends a fortune an hour later on drinks.

at least those countries you mentioned use theirs for developments not embezzlement

We complain here in Nigeria because we don't get the desired services despite making sacrifice

Imagine that. And to think of it, money is being budgeted naturally every year for all these sectors. Look at how people die of avoidable causes. If people get value for their money there would be no problem. I think we need to invite him to Nigeria for a #Good Time

Ignoramus is your name, have you ever travelled out of your village? In the developed world, you get cuts for making POS transactions not being charged. They are short changing you and here you are defending it. What is #50 indeed! God forbid!
