This is exactly why due process matters. If gazetted laws differ from what legislators passed, that’s not a technical error, it’s a constitutional red flag.
🇳🇬 Nigerians, please stay awake and pay close attention to what is happening at the National Assembly. There are growing concerns that the Bola Tinubu administration may be attempting to quietly alter Nigeria’s tax laws in ways that directly affect citizens’ hard-earned money.

Inflation doesn’t always announce itself. It shows up when your salary buys less than it used to. Here’s why 👇🏽

They tell you “the government is not taxing the poor” and expect applause. Let’s break it down. When the government taxes Aliko Dangote or companies like Dangote Group heavily, who actually pays? You do. Because corporations don’t absorb taxes out of kindness. Taxes are passed

This is the core vulnerability. When fiscal plans are built on oil assumptions and debt, a small shock becomes a crisis. Until Nigeria maximises USD inflows from what it already has, oil and gas, every budget remains hostage to Brent.
President Bola Tinubu's 2025 budget was built on grand promises, funded by debt and spent on expenses. 2026 looks the same: no promises dropped, more debt, more expenses. No buffer. If Brent Crude falls by $10, the economy will collapse under the weight of USD-denominated debt.

Big financial wins usually come from one clear focus, not many scattered ones. Whether it’s stability, growth, or discipline, defining one priority makes execution easier. What’s yours for 2026? Say it out loud. #FinancialLiteracy #MoneyGoals #2026Planning #EpaSteven

When regulation starts to look like recurring fees rather than real security outcomes, public trust is eroded.

This is a fair concern. The whole point of TSA and Remita was to remove intermediaries, reduce leakages, and guarantee transparency. Introducing private PSPs for what should be direct government collections raises legitimate questions about accountability and intent.
@BenHundeyin What then happened to Remita and the Treasury Single Account (TSA), which were created precisely to eliminate opacity and third-party handling of government revenues? If this is truly a government project, why is a private Payment Service Provider being interposed at all, when

Diversification isn’t about playing safe. It’s about managing risk so one bad decision doesn’t erase years of effort. Here’s why it matters 👇🏽

The real test will be whether policy and pricing consistently support this transition.

This is a quiet but important shift. If marketers begin prioritising local supply from Dangote, it strengthens domestic refining, reduces FX pressure from imports, and gradually changes the power dynamics in the downstream sector.
