VeryDarkMan Raises Concerns Over New Tax Starting January 2026

Social media activist and influencer, VeryDarkMan, widely followed for his commentary on political and economic issues, has addressed the upcoming tax reforms scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026, during the Abuja Ratel Carnival.

Using the popular cultural event as a platform, VeryDarkMan sent a strong message to the federal government, urging transparency and fairness in the implementation of the new tax laws.

In a speech that quickly gained attention online, VeryDarkMan criticised what he described as insufficient communication from authorities regarding the reforms.

He warned that while the government has assured that many workers and small businesses will benefit or be exempted from certain levies, a lack of clarity could cause confusion and public distrust.

He called on officials to clearly explain how the new system will affect citizens’ daily lives and to ensure accountability in the collection and use of tax revenues.

The activist highlighted the need for greater public engagement, arguing that successful reform requires dialogue between the government and the people. “It is essential that ordinary Nigerians understand the changes coming and feel that the system is fair,” he said, emphasising that proper implementation should protect citizens from undue financial strain.

VeryDarkMan’s remarks at the Abuja Ratel Carnival, an event primarily known for cultural celebration and youth participation, have sparked widespread discussion on social media.

Many Nigerians have joined the conversation online, debating the potential impact of the 2026 tax reforms and echoing calls for government clarity and responsiveness.

The upcoming tax changes have already generated significant attention across civil society and business communities, and VeryDarkMan’s intervention underscores the growing public demand for transparency as the nation prepares for the new fiscal year.
