I usually ignore name calling because it is not worthy of attention that could otherwise be deployed productively. However, I am responding to this as a matter of public interest and hopefully to help other media organisations with similar tendencies.
ย
Peoples Gazette published a malicious article claiming that I lied about certain provisions of the Nigeria Tax Administration Act. The accusation is false, reckless, and not supported by anything I said during the referenced TV interview.
ย
It started with a WhatsApp message which I received from Peoples Gazette. Rather than wait for my response, they rushed to publish their accusation just after their first message below.
ย
๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐: Good afternoon, Mr Ayodele. We followed your interview on Arise TV yesterday but found that you goofed and misrepresented the facts in the tax law. Contrary to your claims, Section 61 of the new law empowers the FIRS to seize Nigerians' money, properties without court order, for not paying taxes.
ย
๐๐๐ข๐ฐ๐จ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐: I will ignore your rude language since you obviously didn't understand my simple explanation. Send a screen recording of where I said what you claim. And my name is Oyedele, not Ayodele.
ย
๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐: I know that your name is โOyedele,โ that was probably a typographical error. However, I wasnโt being rude to you, Mr Ayodele. During your December 24th interview on Arise TV, you claimed that the tax man (FIRS) cannot just seize peopleโs assets or money. This claim is contrary to the provisions in Sections 61 and 43 of the tax law. Hereโs a clip from your interview: https://t.co/wH3LnqEufg
ย
๐๐๐ข๐ฐ๐จ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐: You can check the meaning of goof if that helps. If you're truly a professional journalist you won't jump into conclusion without due diligence. All you needed to do was watch about 2 minutes in the interview before the clip you shared, from the point the question was asked.

My explanation clearly stated that enforcement actions do not arise in a vacuum. There is a process under the existing law which hasnโt changed โ a taxpayer is entitled to self assessment, while the tax authority may issue an additional assessment to which the taxpayer has the right of objection, until the tax becomes final and conclusive under an appeal framework that involves the courts, up to the Supreme Court where applicable.
ย
Peoples Gazetteโs allegation relies on a short excerpt taken mid-response, stripped of the question and the explanation that immediately preceded it. Here is the full interview: https://t.co/Ud4shH8QN5
ย
Responsible journalism requires due diligence, full context, and professionalism especially on a matter that is capable of misleading the public. Even if I said what they claimed, someone acting in good faith could have said โwrongโ instead of โliedโ but it was obviously intentional to gain the attention of their unsuspecting followers and get the clicks.
ย
Falsehood may travel fast but only the truth can go far.
Those still falling victims of Oluomo of Derby fraud are those who do not believe he truly scammed NIUK community members because they're thinking he was a subject of targeted attacks due to political differences. Well deserved I must say.
As the year comes to an end, i join the good people of Lagos State in giving thanks for a peaceful and successful Eyo Festival.
The festival once again showed the rich culture and strength of Lagos. It was a celebration of history, tradition, and togetherness.
I appreciate the Lagos State Government, the organisers, security agencies, and everyone who played a role in making the festival a success.
As we step into the year 2026, i wish the people of Lagos peace, good health, and greater Lagos. May the new year bring Renewed Hope and Shared Prosperity for all.
โDetty December means a month of โback to back to backโ partying in Nigeriaโs megacity, both for locals and visiting members of the diaspora. Bring your stamina, dancing shoes and wads of cash.โ
