"That's new propaganda. It's been flying around the TL. PBAT really did something to people. Why is it only APC who have net increment, are others not working in same country. In the same way, rice always reduces in APC supporters' neighborhood every eke day."

@petermarie_ noted:
"Of course it increased 😃. That's not our vim with the laws... Direct tax reduces for most salty earners. The problem is the widening of the tax net which will result in a rise in indirect tax, because of course, these persons and organisations must pass it on to their customers and clients. When the market seller suddenly needs to pay income tax, what happens to the price of her goods? Again, this wouldn't have been a problem if the tax was certain to be used in a way that benefits the country."
@GIDKKING said:
"Salary Increased with just N2048. What will that solve? Mtcheeew. No difference at all because deducting over 70k+ from my salary as tax when I benefit nothing but hardship as a Nigerian is wickedness in the highest order."
