Popular Nigerian skitmaker, Nasboi, has found himself at the center of heated backlash after deleting a tweet where he appeared to express support for the controversial new tax law scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026.
In the now-deleted post on X, Nasboi reportedly wrote:
“Tax us, that’s fine. But I’m hoping that the money is used to better this country, hopefully.”
However, his stance did not sit well with many Nigerians, who believe the proposed law would further burden citizens already struggling under harsh economic realities. The situation escalated when reports surfaced alleging that portions of the law may have been altered or “forged,” intensifying public outrage and placing those seen as supporting the policy under fire.
Facing mounting criticism, the comedian deleted the original tweet, but screenshots had already circulated widely, fueling further reactions online.
One user questioned his action, asking:
“Why did you remove this?” while sharing the controversial portions of the tax policy.
Another user, @Emarged, went as far as likening the situation to betrayal, writing:
“They have collected their 30 pieces of silver.”
Social media remains flooded with mixed reactions as Nigerians continue to call out public figures perceived as backing policies they believe are detrimental to the masses.
