@DOlusegun@thecableng Mind you, it’s not just about the figures, but the value they represent. What ₦5.54trn could do in 2017, ₦21.90trn in 2026 may not do today due to inflation and weaker purchasing power. So, the rise in FAAC alone doesn’t tell the full economic story.
A businesswoman has taken to social media to call out the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) over what she describes as excessive and confusing levies being imposed on business owners.
According to her, she was asked to pay ₦50,000 for an entertainment levy, despite the fact that her business does not have a radio or television. 😳
She further alleged that when she questioned the charges, she was told to pay ₦50,000 for her air conditioner.
Her frustration is clear as she questions why business owners who have already paid for an operational permit are still being hit with additional levies.
The video has sparked conversations about the various charges imposed on businesses and whether such levies are reasonable, transparent and properly communicated.
What do you think? Are these legitimate levies or are business owners being overburdened?

I created an AI Smart Glass to help blind people walk without a cane or a guide 👓
But this is not like the smart glasses people are used to seeing
Because this Glass combines AI, sensors, and GPS to help the user detect things in front of them, avoid obstacles, and know their location
But the most amazing thing is if the user gets lost, the GPS tracking system can help locate where they are from anywhere, and then send the location to the phone of the person taking care of them via WhatsApp or Email 📲
And now I am further developing it to a new level of AI + Voice, so it can speak with the user and also help them understand their surroundings
I have put the video showing how it works completely in the comment. 🎥

I saw the fence around the green area behind Silverbird, close to Zone 4.
No sane person would approve that work. That structure pains me every time I see it.
They say it’s always good to buy banker’s deal. You know those brand new cars Access bank hands to its new staff!? This is one!

Governance is not rocket science.
This is how Norway has improved their sports. This works because Norway is a Nation and not a country.
This will not work in Nigeria because Nigeria is country and not a Nation.
Sad realisation.
So if Alex Onyia didn’t decide to take these kids to Rome, you mean the world would not have seen us win gold?
Some other country would have won and we would have thought they were the brightest on earth?
Bad Governance is hiding the greatness of Nigerians.
I’ve said on previous tweets that Nigerians are the brightest and smartness people on earth. No enabling environment to showcase that brilliance.
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
Wallahi if you gathered the entire Dantata family in one place, Dangote included, and emptied every account they own, they still would not produce ₦61 trillion, over 40 billion dollars, in CASH. Even Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, does not have that kind of money lying idle. To raise the $44 billion he paid for Twitter, he had to sell over $20 billion of his Tesla shares, take a $13 billion loan from a consortium of banks, and BEG co-investors for another $7 billion. That is what it takes for the world’s wealthiest man to gather a sum smaller than what you people claim one man in Kano kept in cash. Our problem with numbers is beginning to border on mental illness.
Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the “Olodo uprising” debate, here’s a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.
It’s my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.
"Nigeria does not have a talent problem. It has a system problem, and the HR profession sits right at the centre."
@ELSiEiSY says many qualified Nigerians are being overlooked because recruitment systems prioritise formatting over ability.
