The Popular Nigerian comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has expressed strong dissatisfaction regarding the recent introduction of a 0.5 percent cybersecurity levy by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Reports from STEADY GIST highlighted that the apex bank issued a directive on Monday mandating banks in the country to impose a cybersecurity levy on transactions.

In response, Seyi Law vehemently criticized the new CBN policy, labeling it as “unacceptable.” He called on the apex bank to reconsider and review the policy.

Addressing President Bola Tinubu directly, the comedian urged the President to ease the burden on the masses and questioned when the announcement and implementation of the new minimum wage would take place.

Expressing frustration with government agencies, Seyi Law emphasized the need for clarity and transparency in policies affecting citizens. He highlighted discrepancies in the cybersecurity levy, ranging from 0.005% as per the act to the reported 0.5% and even 3% figures circulating.

Seyi Law’s statement on his social media handle read: “I am dismayed when government agencies fail to communicate effectively with citizens, leading to misconceptions and confusion. A 0.5% cybersecurity charge in today’s Nigeria is overly burdensome for Nigerians. Are we discouraging digital transactions and promoting cash transactions again? @cenbank should reconsider this decision.

“Adding to the existing stamp duty, this levy is unacceptable. @NGRPresident @officialABAT, please consider the plight of the less privileged. When will the new minimum wage be addressed and put into effect? Some ministers in your administration need to reassess their roles. One year has passed, and tangible progress is awaited.”

I will never forgive Noble Igwe for insulting my wife Sayi Law Says on the Honest Punch Potcast

Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law has vowed never to forgive his colleague, Noble Igwe until he apologises to his wife.

He said his grudge against Noble was because he mentioned his wife in a post during the 2023 electioneering campaign and someone commented under it, calling his wife an “outcast.”

Seyi Law threatened to go physical on Noble whenever they met.

Speaking in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch, the comedian said: “There is somebody in the entertainment industry that I will never forgive; Noble Igwe. I am saying it publicly, I will never forgive him until he apologizes to my wife, because during the elections, he made a post and he put my wife’s name and somebody under the comment called my wife an ‘osu.’ It means an outcast.

“So if Noble Igwe is listening or watching this podcast, our path has not crossed since then. The day our path crosses, I will beat Noble Igwe to the extent that the world would ask what he did wrong.

“That’s where I draw the line. You can offend me, however, you want but the moment you involve my family; my wife and children, you cross the line into hell. And I will leave heaven for that to sit with you in hell. So, Noble Igwe, know that I am sitting and waiting patiently for you in hell.”

 Popular Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law, and wife, Stacy Aletile, has welcomed their second child. The comedian took to his Instagram handle to share a glimpse of their new born daughter. He also said the name of their baby is, Tife.

Popular comedian, Seyi Law has joined protesters at national stadium where an ongoing protest against obnoxious policies by Buhari-led administration is being held.

Despite cancellation of the protest by Tuface on Saturday, some protesters were seen at Lagos, Ibadan and Abuja respectively 

The comedian said watching the video sent byTuface pulling out from the protest and seeing the stress he has passed through for instigating the protest was enough reason why he would not back down.

On his twitter page @Seyilaw1, he wrote: 

“If U have seen this video & you don’t understand the stress this man was put through, you won’t understand why I won’t back down. #NigeriansProtest

“I will stand in the sun at the stadium, I will allow my sweat drip on the soil of this nation for the next generation. #NigeriansProtest

“These people think it’s about 2Face. They are mistaken. It is about us. We only appreciate his willingness to stand with us.

“My heart bleeds right now. This is not about TUFACE. This is about us and our demand for good governance.”
