Do remote workers pay tax in Nigeria? What about freelancers with foreign clients?
Does being paid in dollars change anything?
This week on Talk Taxes with Doosuur, we're breaking it all down in plain language.
Read through. Let's talk taxes.

Hi X family, I pitched a vision I have been building quietly for a few years.
For the first time, I stood infront of people and tried to make them understand my vision.
It was awesome.
Didn't win the grant, but boy did I win clarity.
Cheers to wins that are not really wins🥂
Are you in your 20s, fresh out of uni and starting out in the financial space?
Either you are working in corporate, freelancing or running a business.
You need to understand the importance of being Tax compliant.

We need to speak about Law School Admission and the injustice done to Students as a result of the 'Overadmission' of Students into the Law Degree Program.
There are Universities where students who have graduated for 2-4 years are still awaiting Law School posting.
Law School mobilization then becomes a 'battle of the fittest and most connected'
I think it's unfair to visit the negligence of the University and the failed system on Innocent students whose only crime was gaining admission into the university in furtherance of their ambition to become Legal Practitioners.
TAKE NOTE OF THR FOLLOWING JUST IN CASE!!!!!!
When you want you to write a statement at the POLICE station or EFCC or law enforcement office;
1. Don't leave blank spaces, cross a line over any blank space left once you are done.
2. Remember to put full stop once you are done writing and sign at the front of that full stop.
3. If you are forced to write a statement against yourself.
DON'T WORRY, at the signature part.
Just add UD as part of your signature (meaning under Duress)
4. It is not a WAEC answer sheet where you must fill up all the page, write what you know only and cross line on the space remaining.
5. Don't agree to write a statement when your lawyer or someone you trust is not there.
If they force you to write, remember (number 3 point.)
6. Avoid answering unnecessary questions when your lawyer is not there.
You have the right to remain silent, cos anything you say can be used against you in court
7. If POLICE send you invitation during weekend, try tell dem say you go show face on Monday as you are out of town for now, cos they will probably detain you till Monday before they can transfer you to court if the matter is the one the type they need to transfer to court
8. Don't forget to share this p0st
9. Sign on every page of the paper, not just the final page
10. If there is a mistake when writing, cross it out cleanly, write the correction, and place your initials directly beside the alteration.
Happy taco Tuesday 🎉
You guys, but what if this whole Sanitary pads cause cancer debacle is paid PR by alternative period kit manufacturers aimed at ruining the sales of pads to pull traffic to alternative kits.
Dear Nigerians, I need you to help me get @MTNNG attention as every means we have tried has failed. Help me repost as many times as possible.
Six days ago, my household purchased MTN fibre X because the remote job my sister got requested for a fibre network and specifically running at 300mbps. This was a criteria for getting the job which was to start on Monday, 7th of September, 2026.
MTN sent an installer to my house and after installation, the guy confirmed it was working and running on 50mbps, we immediately corrected him that we paid for the premium plan, a hundred thousand naira, which is 300mbps, while the basic plan (50mbps) is 30 thousand naira.
He simply said, that's a back end problem, my job here is done.
Since Last week Saturday till now MTN has refused to do anything about it. We have called their care line over 300 times and have sent series of emails. We have sent several messages here on X per their request, yet they leave us hanging the moment we send the details they need with no tangible solution or response.
One week has gone out of a one month plan my sister has been unable to use. I beg MTN To either refund us, or fix this situation and the data must start counting from when it was fixed.
MTN at this point send your installer to come and take the router away, the same way you sent them to install it. @MTNNG@fccpcnigeria@NgComCommission
Called my dad today, dude was so happy he went on and on about the things going on in his life. Sometimes I get so busy with my life, I forget my dad still has a full life.
This is your cue to check on your parents. Call them and just listen to them talk.
FOR PROSPECTIVE BAR ASPIRANTS

A woman has just given birth.
Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.
This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.
That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.
So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.
It should be there.
As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery.
Ask questions. Know what is available.
Prepare before the emergency comes.
RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.

Low key many of us treat life like an audition for a better role.
Nigeria has reduced us to a poodle of hope. The "tomorrow go better" slang has us trapped in anticipating a tomorrow that might not be real.
Live a little, smile, breathe. Today is life, just like tomorrow.
