The biggest scam of the century is the Visionscape contract of Lagos state, a 50B Naira annual scam by Tinubu and his foot soldiers in
the name of clean up Lagos.

Just google the company and their operations in UK and the scam becomes obvious.
1. The company is only on paper
2. vision Gel Pack LTD and Petlon Polymers LTD are presented as companies acquired by Visionscape UK.
3. But a little search on HMRC or UK company registration shows that all those companies were registered last year.
4. The companies are owned by the same guy ADENIYI MAKANJUOLA....virtually unknown gyu and a relative of Tinubu.

Are you minding the stupid Mbaise idiots. Their son is d current VC of unizik Awka. Meanwhile there are many eminent Awka indigenous profs in unizik who never raised eyebrow over d appointment of prof Ahaneku as VC unizik Awka, despite being an Mbaise man whose ppl are rejecting Awka diocesan priest as their bishop.


If u see snake, see Mbaise, spare d snake and kill Mbaise first.

May God punish you and your father there.

mbaise people wey dey eat human being
very wicked beings

We don't want stupiid opamlekeke as our bishop! Now do the right thing.... but write your will first, if you have anything to your name.

Andy2274:
. You people think you know all. Fighting against yourselves is the reason you people cannot grow politically. You people opposed the Bishop Okpaleke because he is not from mbaise. That former Bishop don't have right or cannot put the name of his successor down before leaving if really you are a Catholic and know the Church's hierarchy. You don't want Okpaleke because you wanted an indigenous Bishop which you people can manipulate. Many Ibo indigenes are Bishop somewhere else. The current papa nuncio of Ireland is an Ibo man. Cardinal Arinze is from the Eastern part of Nigeria heading a college in Rome. Even here in Nigeria the Bishop of Benin Archdiocese Augustine Akubeze is from your side. So why opposing your own person? Remember this your current is is an ADMINISTRATOR. So wait until the pope pronounce him Bishop before then you people should stop this tribalism because your people are priests and bishops somewhere else and they are praying for promotion as well.

Continue foaming in the mouth...and continue growing politically.

Dhugal:
Lucius Ugorji is the Bishop of Umuahia, appointed ADMINISTRATOR of Ahiara Mbaise diocese who's seat is now vacant.
Don't crow yet, the Pope may yet appoint a bishop from outside Mbaise clergy.
You guys just introduced tribalism/statism into the church in Igboland, just be ready for whatever comes out of it.

Your stupidd opinion is not needed.

cowleg:
David please marry her and our in-law . Don't convert her to another baby momma after lashing her honey well. We the Igbo's want davido as our in-law.

You're right, ...who poor in-laws help.
We don't mind Yoruba or Hausa marrying our girls, but they must be rich;
not those that complain about high bride price in Igboland.

Burial site for 73 victims of "Fulani Herdsmen"...

-Courtesy CAN Benue State

CAN is irremediable...It is a travesty in my opinion to give criminality a tribal coloration, particularly when it has been ESTABLISHED that nomads are from different tribes of the North...CAN is bent on dividing Nigeria along ethnic & religious lines.

It is about the CRIME and not the TRIBE.

What was their reaction to dapchi girls ?

Am not in support of the criminal Fulani herdsmen
At same time we should not do what will escalate it
We should not give it religion ,ethnic or tribal coloration
We have Fulani that at not herdsmen.

You are a pure disgrace and I strongly believe you're in support of the Fulani killings going on.

How much these runs girls dey charge? I think their bills will be in millions.

benzion72:
Tinubu singlehandedly brought in Oyegun to APC, when he was accused of fielding only Moslem then, The interim party Chairman was Chief Bisi Akande, the Spokesman then was Liar Mohammed all Muslim. He went and brought John Oyegun a christian to chairman the party to douse religious bigot tension. But Oyegun has aligned with Buhari and not his benefactor. Tinubu also prop Bhuari as the President of the party when he did not have money to obtain the form. He brought the primary to Lagos and fought Atiku and Kwankwanso dollar for dollar to get PMB the ticket.

But all is history today. I trust Jagaban he is a cat with nine lifes, he will spring a surprise. If he can fight OBJ PDP for eight years without allocation, survive OBJ onslaught that sweep all AD governor away then. singlehandedly form a coalation that dethrone PDP sixteen years rule. PMB is not a match for him.

PMB should be ready to go back to Daura as soon as possible.

Continue deceiving yourself.

Godbless Daddy Freez

bro i am from Imo State Mbaise to be precise, I am also comfortably working outside southeast with a nice pay so i dont see the reason to be under the payroll of Okorocha.
i will advise you to stop speaking out of hatred the worst man on earth must have done something right for once, and where he is good try to commend him.

Shameless fool, you don't know where Mba 5 is .

African Elephant is on the list of endangered animals, but, Nigerian government don't seen to care. In a saner clime like Kenya, this animal would be captured and taken to a wild life conservation to live out it's days in peace. Killing of an elephant should attract a huge fine and a jail sentence.

I feel extremely violated after seeing those photos. I have always believed that some of the most primitive people on
this planet earth live in Nigeria, and this one is a confirmation to that.

Hmmm...

12bn/year

1,025/streetlight
At N170/litre of diesel it's approx 6ltrs/streetlight.

Not bad really, my only question is are the streetlight not powered to the transformers?

When we told fools on Nairaland that Fishola did not build any power plant, they refused to listen. He only bought a giant diesel generator
which he used propaganda lies to promote to IPP.

WHERE IS TINUBU HERE?

davodyguy:
Sequel the the thread that made the front page last week, wherein I promised to create a topic to address the issue, I've decided to do so in series. On this thread, we would try to address critical issues regarding the LUC and how it affects you.

What is property tax? According to wiki: A property tax or millage rate[1] is an ad valorem tax on the value of a property, usually levied on real estate. The tax is levied by the governing authority of the jurisdiction in which the property is located

The above definition tells us that it a tax on real estate asset, let me say tangible assets, like your land and all improvements on that land.

What is Tenement rate in Nigeria, we came to know the property tax as tenement rate, which could mean the same thing. In other country, they call it property tax, but in Nigeria, it was known as tenement rate. The local government do collect it prior to 2001 in Lagos State, Hence its a local tax by the local administration on all properties at the province or local level to generate income for the government, in oder to provide infrastructures.

What is Land Use Charge? As posited above, we had the tenement rate and some other property based taxes that are to be paid by owners of land (not tenants). Bola Ahmed Tinubu became Governor of Lagos State in 1999 and realized the poor collection of the tenement rate and inability of the local government to point out strategic programs that the funds were channeled to. Remember, we were under the military rule until 1999, hence the corruption was so obvious.

BAT then created the LUC, which unified the entire taxes to be paid on land as the Land Use Charge. The land Use charge is the combination of tenement rate, Neighborhood charge and Ground rent. Let me explain what Neighborhood charge and Ground rent means

Tenement rate: Tax payable annually on your landed property in the area it is located, to local government
Neighborhood Charge: Payment of tax for the uplift of the neighborhood where your property is located
Ground Rent: Remember the land use Act of 1978 vested the ownership of all Land to the State government, hence everyone is a tenant with the government for 99 years. Remember also that your C of O is only for 99 years max, hence the rent you pay Government annually is called Ground rent. Payable to the state government

The above 3 distinct taxes were harmonize by BAT as one and the responsibility of collection was placed in the hands of the state government, who will then spend the money on the entire state for the benefits of all. For instance, Instead of the local government chairman to collect tenement rate on a property worth N5 billion naira in Ikoyi and spend the money on frivolous things like boreholes etc the state government will collect and spend on meaningful projects spread across the 20LGAs and 37 LCDAs

In 2001, BAT came up with the Land Use Charge Law No. 11 of 2001 of Lagos State. The Land Use Charge Law which is applicable to all properties in Lagos State as a unified property charge, came into operation on the June 22, 2001 (“LUCL”).

The LUC has been there since 2001 and all forms of tenement rate was no longer collected after the unification. But many Nigerians do not know. Nigerians, I mean all of us, cos Igbo's, Yoruba's, Hausa, TIV, American, British, Lebanese, Indian, Ghanians etc own properties in Lagos. Many ous do not pay taxes at all on anything. This is the truth.Up till today March 3rd, many of us don't even Pay at all, but we love to criticize the government.

Remember, Tax is a civic responsibility. Go to UK, ask all the players in the EPL how much they pay as taxes. It's up to 30% of what they earn weekly, hence the UK is progressing cos of successful tax administration.

Conclusion, LUC had been with us since 2001, but since we don't pay, we have no idea that it exist. The Government of BAT and Fashola didn't do much to enforce payment and since 2001 to amendment or increment and less than 300,000 properties pay LUC in Lagos State out of over 2,000,000 houses that we have in the Lagos State.

LUC should not be confused as income tax, VAT, Capital gains Tax, Capital Transfer Tax, consumption tax etc.
LUC is tax payable by a Landlord. The person who has money and decided to buy property with his money. The government will tax you and use the money to provide houses for others. Houses are not only for the rich. The poor too deserves to own properties.

I am privileged to have traveled to some countries and did enquire how they do it.

In South Africa, UAE, England, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, Ethiopia, Ghana etc all these are applicable.

If you don't own a property, you're not to pay Land Use Charge. It is an ownership tax.

Tell your landlord I said so and it is backed by Law.

All tenants should relax, as this is not for you.

As a private citizen of Nigeria, residing in Lagos, I pay the following

1. Income tax monthly to State government
2. VAT to Federal Government
3. Consumption tax to state
4. LUC to state government cos I own properties

These are applicable in most countries that I've visited.

There are other taxes that has nothing to do with real Estate eg
Consumption tax
VAT
Income tax
Stamp duty
Capital transfer tax etc

I created this thread to educate us on the history of LUC, in order to educate people and would be creating other parts later this month to address

1. The 2018 LUC law
2. Collection
3. Proposed Valuation
4.reliefs provided
5. How the money would be spent.

Feel free to share, just acknowledge the source and not plagiarize.

I am opened to answering any Question at all, pertaining to the LUC. The various LASG officials are interested in how Lagosians feels about this subject, hence they paybvery serious attention to Nairaland, based on my discourse with them yesterday

The moderators (Seun Mynd44) should do the needful by posting this important thread for all to see.

Itesiwaju Eko ati Nigeria, lo je wa logun.

God bless you all

Those places you shamelessly compared to Lagos state have free education for kids, 24/7 electricity, free health care, wonderful roads, jobs for most people. So your comparison makes no sense. I live and own property in UK and I own 2 properties in Lagos. I am happy to pay my council and property tax in UK because I am enjoying what I pay for everyday. What are you enjoying in Lagos that warrant such payment?

JusticeSeeker:
Number one Rice producer in Naija is Benue. @OP, I pity your poor research skills.

Don't mind the fake list. Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, Osun have no hectare of rice planted.
Have you forgotten the OGUN FAKE RICE PYRAMID built with bags of sand?

Nigeria has spent 40 trillion Naira fighting Boko Harem so far.
Is it not time to allow them keep part of the North East to save this huge sums of money
to develop other parts of the country that need development?

PastorandMentor:
Daddy freeze is always happy when evil happens to a pastor.
Who does that and still proclaims to be a Christian? Christianity means Christ like..
Christians love.
Daddy freeze is an Antichrist... Not a Christian..

Me too, because I know they are heartless criminals.... scamming gullible people.

This boy is just nauseating. Why this aggressive in your face publicity stunt? Obi definitely have no time for the little wannabe.

You really put that fool in his place, thank you so much.

Afam4eva:
Now, i'm convinced more than ever before that you're not bright.

Which state were Anioma before ceded from? Was there Delta state before they were ceded? When did Delta or even Bendel state start existing?

No parts of Abia state were ceded to Rivers because Rivers is an artificial creation. Isn't Rivers state made up different groups? Is there a single tribe in Rivers state that can be said to be the real Rivers tribe. Put your brain to good use.

Your analogy of Catalonia and Spain is also illiterate because Spain is a country and can be made up of different ethnic groups of which Catalonia is one. Not everyone who is from Spain is ethnically Spanish.

angels09:
If you continue like this Yoruba will vote Buhari again and nothing will happen

A lot has already happened my brother.... pls don't vote pooooari again.

I stopped going to church when I suddenly realised that 98% of billionaire pastors in Nigeria come from one particular
tribe that are known to be prolific liars. I just found myself questioning aloud "how can God be appearing and speaking to
people mostly from this tribe who are known to be very dishonest"? Na that day I know that church na business, and that was almost 20 yrs ago.

That is a very serious accident hazard and risk of the tree falling and killing someone.
Again he has damaged that 100 yrs old tree, for something he could have done without destroying that it.

Omenka slowpoke have you seen your life now

Nobody above mistake but at least you've learn your lesson. Always make sure what they brought to you is not stolen one.

Is there any law that says you must see the receipt of phones before unlocking them? You sound very naive!

Alariiwo:
I'm not stupid and I'm not tribalistic (else I'd be picking on Hausas, Ijaws, Itsekiris etc.)

I just hate greed and self-centeredness oozing from a particular region.

Your Igbo mates must have put you to shame with their achievements, that's why you hate them so much. Don't cry yet, I am coming to buy your family land soon.

I have said it many times that Ofada rice is just a myth.
I will ask my questions again: where is the rice growing in the field?
Where are the harvesters, the soilos, millers, tractors, the rice paddies etc?

Love this news....Adeboye and his criminal gang can't move into china for mass scam of people.

Yeligray:
The end is near

LionDeLeo:
Our landlocked blodas right now

The worst part of it is that the 5% keep buying our ancestral lands and keep digging out our grandfathers bones.
Not good.

Fake rice. Where is the rice field, harvesters, millers? This is similar to Ogun rice, all fake.
All these rice come from Abakiliki and Kebbi state.
