Usuality conquers the brain, as they say. People will never stop using jikos or paraffin stoves because that's what they're used to & their only trusted cooking method for "best results".
Paraffin lamps may be outdated but the rest will live on for maybe another generation or so. Yanno, the one thing I'm glad doesn't exist anymore are those heavy stove irons. I hated those with passion!

This thing right here. You even had to spit on it to test how hot it is

I never saw those type anywhere else except south africa

I’ve mixed feelings towards Abiy. He did some big positive reforms but I’m angry at him for saying nothing or little on the suffering of Gedeo, ODP announcement on Addis Abeba, Legetafo and the condominium issue. He talked angerly about Eskinder Nega but kept silent on many other big things. First of all Eskinder said Addis Abeba is of all Ethiopians. Abiy said the same to the ppl so why he is mad? Or does he believe in heart Addis belong to Oromo? He is becoming the 2nd Meles. He says nice thing but mostly they aren’t implemented. He is ቅቤ ምላስ

Have watched the recent Lemma speech? He tried to sound good but I believe he is dangerous. What do you think?

Man. where have you been??

You'll be surprised at the number of skeletons Kenya has in its closet.Just watched a documentary on mombasa today.
I was just laughing throughout!
see wor wor dirty buildings! but they'll only show us pictures from afar! Every body was just skinny, dust and filth everywhere,you need to see up close pics of mombasa.Not those far away skyline shots.
Next time they shouldn't dare to compare mombasa with Lagos.Even onitsha is better than that trashcan of a city.
Oshodi is a more suitable opponent for them

I also saw a documentary on Mombasa and ever since then I don't take them seriously.

So shocked to see a far contrast of what they portray here.

Nigeria company investing in kenya is not Nigeria Goverment company, it is a private individual company with Nigeria nationality. The remitance of their profit those not land into Nigeria goverment pulse. It landed into the independent Nigeria buisness pulse.


And likewise, Nigeria independent business in kenya pay tax and contribute to kenya developmental progress.

Don't be ignorant, Nigerian government receives tax form UBA Kenya.



Nigerians now to pay tax on foreign assets

Jamilah Nasir

President Muhammadu Buhari has signed an executive order mandating Nigerian taxpayers to declare and pay tax on their offshore assets.

Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, announced this in a statement on Wednesday.

According to the statement, asset owners have a 12-month window grace to declare and pay tax on their assets, under the new executive order number eight, tagged Voluntary Offshore Assets Regularization Scheme (VOARS).

Shehu said the order took effect from October 8, when the president signed it.

According to the order, “any taxpayer who truthfully and voluntarily complies with the conditions of the scheme, pays a one-time levy of 35 percent on the total offshore assets or pays all outstanding taxes, penalties and interest after forensic audit of their offshore assets and income shall obtain immunity from prosecution for tax offenses and offences related to offshore assets, among others.

“Equally, failure of any defaulting taxpayer to take advantage of this scheme shall, at the expiration of the scheme result in investigation and enforcement procedures concerning offshore assets anywhere in the world pursuant to information now readily available through automatic exchange of information between Nigeria and foreign countries.”

The statement read: “By this order, Nigerian taxpayers who hold offshore assets and incomes are expected to, within a period of 12 months, declare voluntary those assets and pay taxes on them. When they do this, they should expect to derive certain specified benefits.

“In accordance with the new order, the Federal Government, through the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice will set up a VOARS in Switzerland for all categories of taxpayers who have defaulted in the declaration of their offshore assets, payment of taxes due and collectible subject to the fulfillment of the terms and conditions as stipulated in the order, or any other subsequent complementary regulations that follow.

“To avoid the abuse of this process, the Federal Government makes clear that the “scheme is open to all persons, entities, and their intermediaries holding offshore assets and are in default of their tax obligations in any way, including those who are not already under investigation by law enforcement agencies in Nigeria or any other country and have not been charged with any crimes including theft of public funds or obtaining offshore assets through corrupt practices.

“In signing the order, President Buhari noted that under the Nigerian law, every citizen has the duty to declare his or her income and assets and pay taxes on them but regretted that this, in most instances, had not been the case.

“The sad reality is that efforts to recover these taxes from defaulters through litigation are often frustrated by the complications caused by the change in the character and nature of such assets, insufficient financial intelligence, long delays in courts, among several other reasons.

“President Buhari is optimistic that the new scheme will help to facilitate the expedient regularization of offshore assets connected to Nigeria and lead to “a new expanded tax base for the Federal Government, and also fund the Nigeria Infrastructure Fund in Switzerland.”

You are very stupid. Let me use that statement on you again . You just copy and past without reading the information therein.

The general rule is a company pays tax where its operations are. For multi-nationals they pay in each country in which they operate and for a nigeria private individual company, they would only pay Nigeria tax on the distributed profits from those subsidiary companies, less credits for profits taxes already paid locally.

So Taxation authority can only exists within the borders of the taxing authority's governance. Town taxes, state taxes, national taxes are all limited by their respective borders.

So Income earned outside the borders of Nigeria is beyond the reach of any Nigeria taxing authority. Until that income crosses into Nigeria borders. it is then taxible in the country in which it was earned. However when it crosses Nigeria border, it is immediately taxable.

How can someone go to cut that thing in a bush in this century? What a no sense!

Well, it depends on the culture, really. Some people are very proud of certain aspects of their culture. In the Xhosa tradition, this is THE most important milestone that everyone looks forward to, from the moment a baby boy is born in the family. It is a cause for celebration. The last time we had one was about 12 years ago with a cousin, now we're looking forward to my nephew's turn in 3 or 4 years time.
It goes way beyond the obvious. They get taught how to tackle their new roles in the family/society as men. A Xhosa man is not a bìtch with a loud mouth. They carry themselves a certain way, as in, "talk quietly but carry a big stick". I think most people still go there for the life lessons, basically. Being a gentleman never goes out of style

Nigeria and west Africa in general aren't as scenic as east and southern Africa.Comparing the two wouldn't be fair as we aren't really 'endowed' if you know what I mean.

Shame on all of you.This discussion is a good example of why its so hard for this continent to get ahead.Very divisible people with extremely fragile egos.

What does it benefit anyone when you tear each other down like this?

Wonder why its so easy for African countries to be interfered with, look no further, these are the kind of people this continent has.All of Africa needs to be united as much as possible to get started with the very big task of catching up with the rest of the world, but these are the so called young people of Africa who are supposed to lead us to the future, shame shame shame.

serious calm down guy..its Ok to feel that way..first time here you feel like vomiting..nasty stuff spoken an responded..afterwards things calm down (your mind)..then later ya part of it...stick around an observe...
On the other hand dont judge alot coz we are having fun an learning stuff about other Africans..
