Nigeria is a very scary place. The scariest of all is the fact that a lot of us don't realise we pay taxes. We think that it is an American or UK thing. In fact, for a long time, we have celebrated that we don't have to deal with it.

Even before subsidy removal, we had been paying taxes for every product we use. The companies that produce these things need to import parts of it and whenever they do, they get taxed. When they pay tax to the government they impose it on the people.

Now they are making things worse by increasing taxes that people have to pay as they've taken away fuel subsidy.
