Hi @jidesanwoolu, @hanneymusawa
I'm deeply disappointed in your @lirs_govng team hounding Selar in the name of claiming creator royalty taxes. I turn 30 in Oct and I've spent the last 10 years building Selar, so this is what the youth mean by policies being created to crush growing businesses. We are the pioneering and largest creator company in Nigeria (Africa actually), and instead of being supported by the government, the LIRS team is keen on trying to scapegoat us to set a precident.
Beyond the huge numbers seen in the headlines, we are still a young company just trying to make our mark for the creator economy in a country where we've never been supported once, we're literally a bootstrapped company. In 2025 alone, we've fulfilled our tax obligation in almost 9 figures and we've never missed out on any of our tax obligation over the years. You can check the records.
We are a software company, we make our ecommerce software available to our thousands of creators in not just Nigeria but 13 other African countries and for that, we earn a small commission of 4%, most of which goes to our payment provider. This is the same business as shopify, teachable, e.t.c There is no reason LIRS is hounding us for a backdated 5% royalty fee on all sales when we've clearly explained our line of business to them and shared everything to prove we are not a royalty based business.
What they're asking us to do is raise our pricing to extort these funds from our creators which is odd considering our creators still pay taxes on their income. No creator company in the world charges as high as even 5%.
Also, less payment gateway charges we get 1-3% max, so where do we pay backdated 5% fees from?
The government would have to decide if it wants the Nigerian creative economy to grow or not.
This conversation is important to me because we pioneered this industry of monetizing digital products online in Nigeria and today we host over 400k creators selling using our platform.
This is an opportunity for the government to show it's committment to making Nigeria work for young Nigerians especially in the creator economy.
Time and money we should be spending investing into our business and it's growth for the GDP of this nation is being spent in long back and forth.
We can't catch up with the west if this is what we're facing at home. Above everything else, disputes like this are distracting from the real work.
If anything, for all our CSR contributions to the education system in the country with our Smart Hustle Anti fraud initiative and our other efforts, we should be getting tax rebates, but we're not even asking for anything but to be left alone to build our business.
Thank you.
Pardon?????
Any small thing, "Gen Z cannot relate".
Yen yen yen 😑😑
Do you people realize that Gen Z started from 1997?
Do you realize that the oldest Gen Z is almost 30 years old? And the youngest Gen Z is 14 years old .
If you want to call baby Shark do do, call Gen Alpha, because Gen Zs are NOT as young as you think they are.
I'm a Gen Z, I was very much aware of when the Five naira, Ten naira, Twenty naira and Fifty Naira notes were papers.
I knew when they changed it to the nylon that we now spend today.
I can vividly remember the time when they did Golden Jubilee for the #50 note.
I remember when a portion of pepper was #20, and when a cup of rice was #25 for long grain rice.
I remember when 5 eggs was #100. When Indomie was #30, when a cup of Garri was #10.
Yes, I'm a Gen Z and I remember.
Stop dragging us as if we just came into this world abeg.
The irony is that prosperity often reveals whether a man truly loved GOD or merely needed HIM.
Israel cried out passionately in the wilderness, but once they entered abundance, many forgot the LORD. This is why GOD repeatedly warned Israel:
“Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God…” (Deuteronomy 8:11)
If moving to America reduced your prayer life, America did not become your god; comfort did. America simply exposed what your prayer life was built upon.
The highest form of prayer is not, “GOD, give me.”
The highest form of prayer is, “GOD, I want YOU.”
A man who has discovered GOD will still pray when every earthly need has been met, because prayer is not sustained by desperation alone; it is sustained by love.
It is unfortunate that many think otherwise.
PRAYING FOR NIGERIA
Keep praying. Keep believing. God is not finished with Nigeria. 🇳🇬🔥🙏
As a people, we will not cease to pray for both the leadership and the followership of our nation. Every position of authority is a sacred trust, and every individual entrusted with responsibility will ultimately give account of its stewardship before God.
This is not the time for silence, despair, or division. It is a time to stand in the place of prayer, seeking God’s mercy, wisdom, help, and strength for our nation. We pray that every agenda of darkness, wickedness, and destruction against Nigeria be subdued by the power of God.
Our confidence remains in the words of our Lord:
“I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” — Matthew 16:18
May God preserve Nigeria, grant wisdom to her leaders, strengthen her people, and cause righteousness, peace, and justice to prevail throughout the land, in Jesus’ name!🔥👏

There’s a phase you get to in life life,
all those hymns you sang in your childhood as mere songs , starts making total sense
Because what a friend we really have in Jesus ?
I hate posts like this, now people want to try adderall.
Adderall should only be used on prescription basis alone, it contains amphetamine and dextroamphetamine.
Walai once you’re hooked, you are in trouble, you have risk of withdrawal, and depression, he go be like play.
If you have BP normally or someone in your family does, no near this drug, it increases blood pressure; it can also cause seizures and psychosis.
I’m begging you guys, so you won’t later beg your doctors, don’t do adderall if it was not prescribed for you.
“Don’t bother engaging them”
“Just leave them alone to be saying those things”
No ma. No sir.
I have 14 year olds in my DMs . The voice of sin cannot be the loudest ones they hear
The command is to go into all nations and teach men
We have folded heads long enough until people don’t even know what’s right or wrong anymore according to God’s standard
Emphasis on “God’s standard”
We are not called to be “nice”
We are called to declare the truth of the Bible
Anybody should do what they want or what they like. God gave us free will to ensure that.
But it becomes a different thing to make it seem as if that’s what is right.
The gospel we have in our hands now is because some people heralded the truth and even gave their lives for it.
I made this into a song, because I’ll always stare at this calendar in our home from GeePee tank, that had those words written on it . I always thought it was so profound, I still think so.
Whatever you do should reveal God’s glory ❤️👑
