The European way of living is the right way of living. Humans were supposed to cycle to work, use stairs everywhere, eat healthy food, climb a rock, sit in a cafe after work and watch passersby. Also import immigrants for the hard jobs.

Remember when some of you (like that guy that is based in Canada and deceiving you) said “relax, they can’t just touch your money”?

This is Lagos State, formally activating the Power of Substitution under the new Tax Administration Act.

Translation in plain English:
If LIRS says you owe tax and they’ve “established” it, they can:
• instruct your bank to pay them from your account
• instruct your employer to divert your salary
• instruct your tenants or customers to pay them instead of you
• instruct anyone who owes you money to settle your tax first

No court appearance.
No negotiation.
Just a notice.

This is exactly what I warned about.
This law didn’t just increase taxes.
It shifted power.
From courts → to tax authorities.
From due process → to administrative discretion.

In sane countries:
• substitution powers are rare
• tightly supervised
• judicially reviewable before execution

Here? They’re rolled out via “Public Notice”.

If you’re calm about this, it’s only because you think it’s for other people.
Until one day, it’s your bank.
Your employer.
Your rent.
Your cash flow.

This isn’t about compliance anymore. It’s about control.
And some of you cheered it on.
Remember this moment.

Local contractors are holding daily protests outside the Ministry of Finance due to the government's inability to release funds for the budget. Since 2024, contractors have been owed over 4 trillion naira, and this is 2026.

Additionally, FCDA employees and FCT contractors are demonstrating over unpaid salaries and funds for completed projects, while Wike is preoccupied with an unnecessary conflict in Rivers State.

We are currently operating on a shoestring budget for 2024, 2024 supplementary, 2025, and the so-called kangaroo 2026, while this administration keeps telling us that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

The same people who claimed that if a candidate is granted power, he will enrich his allies have now bestowed Gilbert Chagoury with the second-highest national honor (GCON), yet only few are speaking out, media outlets are not very silent.

This same authoritarian regime has forsaken governance in favor of political maneuvering, with all states now eager to align with the APC—not out of a desire for progress, but for security, financial gain, and political longevity.

Progress for Nigeria under this administration remains an impossible dream; that is the reality, not a curse, because nothing makes logic anymore.

Nigeria is in a great trouble.☹️
Nigeria is collapsing!!!

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

The confirmation by the Senate that the gazetted version of the Tinubu Tax Act does not reflect what was duly passed by the National Assembly raises a grave constitutional issue. A law that was never passed in the form in which it was published is not law. It is a nullity.

Under Section 58 of the 1999 Constitution, the lawmaking process is clear and exclusive: passage by both chambers, presidential assent, and only then gazetting. Gazetting is an administrative act of publication; it does not create law, amend law, or cure illegality. Where a gazette misrepresents legislative approval, it has no legal force.

Any post-passage insertion, deletion, or modification of a bill without legislative approval amounts in law to forgery, not a clerical error. No administrative directive by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, or the Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas, can validate such a defect or justify a re-gazetting without re-passage and fresh presidential assent.

The attempt to rush a re-gazetting while stalling legislative investigation undermines parliamentary oversight and sets a dangerous precedent. Illegality cannot be cured by speed. The only lawful path is fresh legislative consideration, re-passage in identical form by both chambers, fresh assent, and proper gazetting.

This is not opposition to tax reform. It is a defence of the integrity of the legislative process and a rejection of any attempt to normalise constitutional breaches through procedural shortcuts. -AA

Forgery Of Tinubu's Tax Reform Law Is An Act Of Treason Against The Nigerian People.

The illegal and unauthorized alterations made to Nigeria's tax legislation after passage by the National Assembly represents a brazen act of treason against the Nigerian people and a direct assault on our constitutional democracy.

This draconian overreach by the executive branch undermines the foundational principle of legislative supremacy in the making of laws. It reveals a government more interested in extracting wealth from struggling citizens than empowering them to prosper.

The Unconstitutional Alterations.

The following substantive changes were allegedly illegally inserted into the tax bills after parliamentary approval, in clear violation of Sections 4 and 58 of the 1999 Constitution:

1. New Coercive Powers Without Legislative Consent

Arrest powers granted to tax authorities

Property seizure and garnishment without court orders

Enforcement sales conducted without judicial oversight

These provisions transform tax collectors into quasi-law enforcement agencies, stripping Nigerians of due process protections that the National Assembly deliberately included.

2. Increased Financial Burdens on Citizens

Mandatory 20% security deposit before appealing tax assessments

Compound interest on tax debts

Quarterly reporting requirements with lowered thresholds

Forced USD computation for petroleum operations

These changes erect financial barriers that prevent ordinary Nigerians from challenging unjust assessments while increasing compliance costs for businesses already struggling in a difficult economy.

3. Removal of Accountability Mechanisms

Deletion of quarterly and annual reporting obligations to the National Assembly

Elimination of strategic planning submission requirements

Removal of ministerial supervisory provisions

By stripping away oversight mechanisms, the government has insulated itself from accountability while expanding its powers—a hallmark of authoritarian governance.

A Government Against Its People

This constitutional violation exposes a troubling reality: a government obsessed with imposing ever-increasing tax burdens on impoverished Nigerians rather than creating conditions for prosperity. Instead of investing in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic empowerment that would expand the tax base organically, this administration chooses the path of aggressive extraction from an already struggling populace.

Nigeria's poverty rate remains alarmingly high, unemployment continues to devastate families, and inflation erodes purchasing power daily. Yet rather than supporting citizens to become more productive, thereby generating sustainable tax revenues, the government employs draconian measures to squeeze resources from people who have little left to survive.

True economic growth comes from empowering citizens, not impoverishing them further through punitive taxation and erosion of legal protections. A thriving economy with prosperous citizens naturally generates robust tax revenues. But this requires vision, investment, and patience, qualities evidently lacking in an administration that resorts to constitutional manipulation to achieve short-term fiscal goals.

I hereby call upon:
1. The Executive to immediately suspend the implementation of the tax law effective January 1, 2026 to give room for a proper investigation.
2. The National Assembly to immediately rectify these illegal alterations through proper legislative processes and hold accountable those responsible for this constitutional breach.
3. The Judiciary to strike down these unconstitutional provisions and reaffirm the sanctity of the legislative process.
4. Civil Society and all Nigerians to reject this assault on democratic principles and demand governance that serves the people rather than exploiting them.
