ZShamsuna how do you tax what you banned going close to 3 years now?

ZShamsuna It’s just like taxing money gotten from stealing or robbing the bank… SMH

ZShamsuna The same crypto that is banned

ZShamsuna This woman and her cohorts don't know what they are doing.... Make una just do and park comot

ZShamsuna When I said this govt isn't innovative one bit, it looked as if one was blabbing. You are a country that needs dollars, there's no big deal in partnering with crypto exchanges to make sure all Nigerians registered on their platform do so with their NIN/BVN. That you can trace all

ZShamsuna Aren't they banned

ZShamsuna But I thought……. nvm 🚶

ZShamsuna A few minutes before she & her colleagues decided on the tax...

ZShamsuna This people are mad, first you try to kill it and now you want to tax it 😂

ZShamsuna Lol

ZShamsuna My Nigerian, fight back. We can’t allow these people to keep holding us down.

ZShamsuna When they tell you they increase IGR, this is practically what they do. Tax every available thing.

ZShamsuna How can you tax what you’ve Banned? This government sha 🤦🏽

ZShamsuna Lol

ZShamsuna This government thinks from anus tbh. After banning crypto they turned back and want to tax crypto. How?

ZShamsuna Make una do and comot abeg

ZShamsuna Jokers the lot of you. Crypto you destroyed you now want to tax it. You steal the cupboard bare you are now looking everywhere for money. SMH

ZShamsuna I thought it was banned.

ZShamsuna Just like taxing cannabis right? You can’t tax illegal business.

ZShamsuna What happened with e-Naira?

ZShamsuna Finally someone is using sense

ZShamsuna So Fed Govt will be prosecuted for sharing from the proceeds of crime. Ihe nkea ọwu rice🤣🤣🤣

ZShamsuna Does this fulani woman look like someone who is bright?

ZShamsuna Is the crypto currency acceptable in Nigeria

ZShamsuna Because they can't sit and think of what is good for the people, they will wait and copy other countries decisions regardless of whether they understand it or not, regardless of whether it applies to us or not. See Nigerian gov. that place a ban on crypto want to task crypto😂

ZShamsuna This is a good policy. But it should come with some benefits for the tax payers. Granting them access to the services of financial institutions should be a great start. You can mitigate money laundering risks like U.S. is doing by regulating virtual asset service providers.

ZShamsuna This woman is the most useless woman in this government... She just wants to tax the masses, the poor to cover up the outrageous spending of this Government.

ZShamsuna Wasn't there a time this administration was cracking down on cryptocurrency traders and blocking their accounts?🤔

ZShamsuna You’re mad

ZShamsuna They have no best interest of Nigerians at heart nor are they wise enough to create opportunities for us. They frown upon the opprtnty that makes youth live a life as dem, realized they can't stop it, then shamelessly come to legally steal from it. Keep them impoverished scheme

ZShamsuna Una don vote for werey

ZShamsuna I don’t understand, is crypo legal now ?

ZShamsuna First they ban cryptocurrency now they want to tax it. The Buhari government is full of very dull people.

ZShamsuna 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

ZShamsuna You want to tax crypto that you banned

ZShamsuna This woman is always on to something, always looking for a way to fuck with Nigerians 😂

ZShamsuna You can’t tax what you banned sickos.

ZShamsuna Shey u dey whine me ni

ZShamsuna What happened to the ban?😁

ZShamsuna Same crypto una ban abi another crypto. And Una likes taxing but u can't invest in people or give jobs to people. Citizens are suffering to make a living, na to tax them more una want. All the money una don get for tax waiting una don do with am

ZShamsuna Why don't you try understanding it first 🙄

ZShamsuna All I will say and keep saying is that It will not be well with anybody who is planning to vote PDAPC/BATIKU. That person’s life would worse than the nightmare we have been living in over the past 7+ years. Useless fellows

ZShamsuna The ban been lifted?

ZShamsuna Nothing APC and PDP will ever do to separate Nigerians from Loving H. E Mr Peter Obi as President Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.

ZShamsuna Confused people,you want to tax what you banned?

ZShamsuna Really hilarious, same crypto they banned. At this rate bank deposits will be taxed.

ZShamsuna If you can't ban it, Tax it

ZShamsuna Good move.

ZShamsuna Lol… You want to tax crime? This minister’s only job is loan and tax. No initiative on how to move the economy forward. This has to be the dullest finance minister ever. You criminalized crypto, then come back to tax it. Who does that pls?

ZShamsuna How do you tax an industry you deliberately disincentives?

ZShamsuna You want to Tax what U call illegal funny sets of people in power. If they put up a regulatory framework with Merchants of crypto they would have made lots of money from people without p2p bypass currently being used When U have 🤡 as minister of finance and a Dunce as president.

ZShamsuna Tax initiative to join the league of advanced countries. Only that we remain genealogically poor with a very few supper wealthy from government coffer.

ZShamsuna Abi are they about to unban it?

ZShamsuna There's every reason to vote out this irresponsible government out (APC). You banned crypto here you are now wanting to tax crypto. Now you want to heavily tax carbonated drinks due to diabetes. Block those leakages and you will have money to execute projects

ZShamsuna But you guys makes it illegal na.

ZShamsuna TAX YOUR MAMA, ANIMAL

ZShamsuna isn't crypto still banned? or the FG has decided to tax illegal funds? anytime i see this woman its always bad omen of a news from her. such a fine thief

ZShamsuna There is ban on crypto so how do you want to tax it. It has been banned so it's not a legal source of revenue

ZShamsuna Business destroyers and wealth sharers. They won’t build, they won’t encourage, they won’t also leave Nigerians to get on with their lives. Are you not evil like this? You’re taxing what you banned. Reaping where you didn’t sow.

ZShamsuna Wake up! Collet ur Moni!

ZShamsuna Una don unban am

ZShamsuna Taxing the people until they become wretched and controllable! That's the aim. The aim is to ensure no entrepreneur breaks out from poverty to challenge the current ruling class. Nigerian leaders want her to become a Zimbabwe; hungry, feeble and docile and easy to control!

ZShamsuna This sounds sane 👌

ZShamsuna Your time is over and Mr Peter Obi will be there

ZShamsuna They’ll soon start taxing graves

ZShamsuna FG trying to benefit from 'illicit' funds?

ZShamsuna Banned crypto?

ZShamsuna The same crypto central bank put a ban on 😂😂😂😂

NaijaFlyingDr ZShamsuna I just don’t get it, you keep imposing taxes on citizens who are struggling to make a dollar a day. Government is meant to make the business environment comfortable for people to make money from businesses, when they succeed and thrive you can now impose taxes.

ZShamsuna You want to tax cryptocurrency that you banned, how?

ZShamsuna For crypto una ban? Bunch of clowns 😂😂😂

ZShamsuna CLOWNS!

ZShamsuna Yeye dey smell... Clueless government

ZShamsuna A confused government, crypto that u ban, u want to still make monies from it. Lol all northerns has the same mentality that's why Nigeria has been a slave to the west. Northern governors ban beer but are getting federal allocation from beer tax.

ZShamsuna How can you tax what you’ve banned

ZShamsuna They are looking for revenue by all means so crypto is now looking nice.

ZShamsuna Wetin wan make thunder enter aso rock na una wan do so.

NaijaFlyingDr ZShamsuna Seems na only tax this woman sabi talk for finance
