Iyabo Ojo, a well-known actress in Nollywood, has been given seven days by the government of Lagos State to pay the amount of N18,640,092.00 that she owes in personal income tax or face the possibility of going to jail.

In a letter that was sent to the actress, the Lagos government accused her of owing N7,376,000.00 in taxes for the year 2022 and N11,264,092 in back taxes for the tax year 2021.

Iyabo Ojo, in her reply to the letter that was sent to her on Monday, voiced her disapproval of the procedure that was utilized in the calculation of the obscenely high tax bill that she had been given.

She then uploaded a picture of the bill to her Instagram account and captioned it with the following message: “@jidesanwoolu @lagosstategovt, please, how do you people come up with these outrageous personal income taxes you send on a daily basis?

“After paying for various types of taxes for one’s businesses, house, and everything else, you still come up with all this enormous amount, and you give me seven days to pay up, lol.

“The last time, you people asked me to come to your office, and I did. You asked me to explain and declare what I earn, which I did with my tax consultant, but no, you did not respond to my letter, because you want me to pay you an outrageous amount that I do not have, which makes me go thief, ni? I inquire once more, “How are you people able to come up with such exorbitant bills?”

“As a member of this nation’s government, what have you ever done for me? NOTHING. Since you guys are so insistent, I will gladly let you come and shut down my business, arrest me, throw me in jail, or kill me for all that it matters because we are all going to die eventually.
