₦360BN IN DIGITAL TAXES: NIGERIANS DESERVE MORE THAN EXCUSES

Opinion

Photo courtesy: X RNR EDITORIAL The Federal Government’s announcement that it collected ₦360.29 billion from the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) between January and October 2025 should be welcome news. It signals a country embracing digital payments, expanding its tax net, and reducing reliance on oil revenues. But for millions of Nigerians, the numbers ring hollow. At a time when citizens endure punishing inflation, epileptic electricity, dilapidated roads, failing schools, and overstretched hospitals, the question is simple: Where is the impact of all this revenue? Nigerians are not blind to the irony. Every electronic transfer above ₦10,000 attracts the ₦50 levy. Yet the same citizens who fund this revenue struggle to charge their phones because the power grid c...

CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE – JIHAD IS THE OFFICIAL MOTTO OF NIGERIA’S ARMY

Opinion

OPINION By Ambassador Lilian Onoh EVERY single Nigerian should take a look at the emblem of the Nigerian Army and try to read its motto – the banner under which every single soldier must fight. The vast majority of Nigerians will fail, not because they are illiterate, but because it is written in Arabic – a language known only to those whose recite passages from the Islamic Koran, many of whom are only able to recite passages by rote and not by ability to read or write Arabic. Thus, more than 70% of Nigerians do not actually know what the Arabic writing on the Nigerian Army emblem says. In regular English script, the Arabic writing on the Nigerian Army Emblem is, “Nasrun Min Allah”, or, “Victory is from Allah alone.“ From my research, it is actually the war...

BISHOP KUKAH, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THIS IS NOT IT

Opinion

OPINION By Sa’adiyyah Adebisi Hassan WHEN a man of God opens his mouth in a bleeding country, people expect comfort, clarity, and courage. Not cold statistics that sound like they were drafted in a government PR office. Bishop Matthew Kukah allegedly said: “There’s no genocide or persecution of Christians in Nigeria. You can kill 10 million people and it still won’t amount to genocide…If you are a Christian in Nigeria and you say you are persecuted, my question is: how? At least 80% of educated Nigerians are Christians, and up to 85% of the Nigerian economy is controlled by Christians. With such figures, how can anyone say Christians are being persecuted?” Let’s dismantle this 1. Genocide Is Not Cancelled Because Some Christians Are Rich Genocide is not def...
