But why is it now that If we don’t tax much, then we result to borrowing? How did other administration did it without taxing much and borrowing our future away? Buhari is a curse!!
And what does VAT stand for? Nurtw, what their job?

Who told you other administrations didn't do it? obasanjo did it, Jonathan did it and Buhari blew it up! Same goes for America, Bush did it, Obama blew it up and Trump & Biden continued it. Borrowing is not the problem if you have something to back it up but when you have nothing and just keep borrowing with no credible plan to pay it back then WAHALA DEY!

maynia:
Why are we taxing like advance countries? It is only when it comes to tax that will compare? What’s the GDP per capital of those advance countries compare to the world capital of poverty.
Our politicians should Also sell books, seminars and the likes to Nigerians and stop living on taxpayers money!!
And what about medical tourism? Fleets of Cars, do they also do like that like our politicians do here in the world capital of poverty?
You want to tax Like advance countries, they should also follow through in other processes too..

Nothing you've stated justifies not paying tax, in as much as we know our government is corrupt and inept, if we ever want to stop them from borrowing money or further ruining the nation for our children and grandchildren then we must pay tax, everyone! Even if you are making just 100,000 Naira a year you must be taxed, what we should be discussing is marginal tax rate. A carpenter should not be at the same tax bracket as a doctor or bank manager. Dangote should not be paying the same tax rate as small and medium sized businesses, our politicians mess up because they represent a messed up society. Our mentality and culture needs a rude awakening, as great as America or the UK looks, without taxation they'll go bankrupt!

Those advising you to keep secrets and not tell the old man are nothing but ignorant crechins. Do you think the old man would forgive you once he's gone? Does your step bro know the truth? Don't you think you owe it to him as well to reveal it? The difference between the whites and our pathtic African sentiments is that when it comes to issues like this, they prefer facts than emotional reasoning. If you are truly the son of your father then you owe him the truth otherwise you might as well be called a basta*d as well.

neyoohhh:
Ok I see , you have no clue about the situation of things in Nigeria with what these girls have become.

Remember you jumped into the argument without understanding the context.

I already addressed this in my response to the other lady that this particular topic isn't an issue but the general attitude towards seeing nudity as some sort of progressive idea.

Your arguments does not align with the origins of the debate.

Essentially, a waste of time.

Remember, standards makes sense in whatever we do.

Between, why complicate a simple suggestion encouraging women to dress appropriately and be aware of the babarism that exists in the society in which they live?

No, you won't accept that, you have to interject conjectures that doesn't correlate and failing willfully at being smart.



Anyways, got to go.

Be good and ponder on how this recklessness of thought and logic is failing Nigerians.

But you didn't encourage women to dress decently, you threatened them with the law by supporting what the main subject in the opening post wanted. Like I said earlier, there is no way you can compare the indecency in the USA to Nigeria yet the USA has not gone commando and enact laws that resticts just one gender. If you don't see the problem here then you'll never see it! I have no problem with you advocating for women to dress decently, the problem is that you are only focusing on women thereby adding to the already heavy restrictions on women in the Nigerian society. It's like enacting rape laws and then saying women that rape men are not included....lol.

neyoohhh:
They might as well go out naked in public since there's no line drawn between what's acceptable and what isn't.

As adults shouldn't they know what's acceptable to wear in public if they had any brains to begin with without any sort of high handedness and it's typical of you woke mob to promote irresponsible behaviour and put the onus on others to sort out. Like asking people to protect their children from seeing irresponsible semi nude adults who refuse to put on decent clothes.

Get it into your skull, the most advanced countries still have standards when it comes to how people dress in public spaces. You don't go around exposing your nipples and whatnot, as we can see with some of these women in Nigeria.

Yes, women should train to defend themselves, like that'll totally solve the issues. A little bit of accountability and self awareness, I would imagine, will go a long way.

About ethics and morals, you must have comprehension issues. You don't espouse any of those attributes anyways
as a people. You're neither ethical or moral. At best you behave and think like heathens.

Stop being stupidly woke and have some standards as a people.

It's the little things that makes the difference.

Cheers.

You're only succeeding in portraying your ignorance, do you know what we call using extremes to support a position/argument? Hyperbole! FYI, majority of women are not exposing their nipples, majority of them are not exposing their butt cheeks, majority are not exposing their kpekus.....COME OFF IT! We are talking about a society that believes women on spags or shorts are exposing themselves even tho the weather is over 80 degrees F. We are talking about a society that cannot discern the difference between fashion and indecency. The USA has standards based on morals, you can't go full unclad, you can't just expose your nipples anyhow both males and females but they will never ban shorts or make laws that focuses solely on the female gender when it comes to dressing. Stop this your BS argument, I have lived in the states for a long time now and people like you are easily canceled by society because of your archaic views aimed at controlling every aspect of the female gender. It's not your body, it's not your family.....You have no rights on this matter......Take it or leave it, that's your problem bro not mine!

Fear of Jagaban is the beginning of wisdom.....Alliances will be made, dominos will fall.....Is he a king or a kingmaker......Either way, grab your popcorn and stay tuned for the next episode of Game of Thrones- Bourdillon Edition

neyoohhh:
Do men have the same anatomy has women?

What does the statistics say about rape?

Men who rape women are encouraging them to be more sexually expressive at their detriment.

No we won't mind our business, because a lot of you are actual rapist's and love-vendor's but the girls don't get it yet.

Between the public space isn't 18 rated & their are children watching.

A people with no standards and ethics, not surprised.

Like I said Nigerian women are a reflection of the men.

Your analysis would have made sense if only indecently dressed women got raped, people are raped in churches, schools and at work. Many are covered from head to toe and still got raped.....so be quiet! Nigeria's problem with rape is easy to solve, train women on self defense and rape cases will drop dramatically. From pepper sprays to kicking men in the nuts to carrying switch knives. There are more indecently dressed women in the USA than Nigeria yet Nigeria is matching them statistically when it comes to rape.....What does that say about your pathetic logic? Anatomy or no anatomy in scorching hot heat, a woman has the right to dress lightly, she has the right to wear shorts or spag or whatever, get this into your head! You are worried about your children seeing indecent dressing, well isn't that ironic, if you can't control your own children what makes you think you can control full grown adults? When my siblings and I were little in the mid 80s to early 90s, whenever we saw unclothedness we immediately closed our eyes, it was instinct based on training, parents did not need to go out and fight everyone that didn't dress appropriately....lol. Pick your battles wisely!

Furthermore, another clue that shows you know not of what you write is your view on ethics, you seem not to know the difference between ethics and morals. An ethical person can be immoral and someone immoral can behave ethically. I suggest you stick to topics within your skillset.....Peace!

neyoohhh:
This particular dressing is actually modest.

The point is, there's an actual cultural shift that's qualifies nudity as part of progress, which is the bone of contention here.

This is the problematic side I am trying to address specifically and yes it does have big implications from what I have observed.

Gdp or not , society still needs standards and it's impractical to dismiss issues because there are other pending issues.

They say indecency doesn't cause rape, which is understood but the reality is different.

Haven't you seen the daily rape news?

Personally, I think you women should wake up as you're at the losing end here, and can't really help yourselves due to your tendencies to follow dominant narratives. The men enjoy the decadence, which makes it difficult for them to do what is right for society by calling out wrong as wrong.

Can't you see how the same Nigerian men who call women useless are quick to support decadent behaviour by women?

The consequences are simple, women will overstep their liberties and love-vendor's will evolve.

If women love to be sexually expressive and sex sells, guess what the product is?

It's already happening.

Take time to understand what was written.

How come Nigerians always get worked up when it is a lady but when a man walks with singlet or half down boxers, we just smile? In a society where one set of rules applies to a certain gender and another to the other gender, it is no surprise that things fall apart! We want a society that controls everything a woman does, from the way she acts to the way she dresses and yet complain when such women grow up to be highly dependent on males......Culture or no culture, we need to mind our damn business!

How do you give a region the presidency knowing that half of them are more likely to sell the country or split it? Igbos are nice people, na the IPOB among them they cause panic, they have made it clear that it is Biafra or nothing so why are we fooling ourselves? The discusssion should be choosing a president that gives them what they want or at least brings them to the discussion table. An Igbo president is too suspicious and a non Igbo president like Buhari is too non chalant, we need a negotiator, an equalizer, a president for all regions not someone that would be too afraid to do what needs to be done!

Fiscus105:
Little wonder they are "importing hands in Africa to make up inadequacies in medical sectors there. Since their wards are too lazy to jobs that require brainstorm

There are lots of brilliant whites as well, it's just that science and technology has taken a backseat to sports, art and socialism. Kids no longer want to be physicists, doctors etc, they want to be the next Lebron james or Bruno Mars.

bong4:
I believe it is not the flogging that will helps the child excel but basic provisions of a good system. The facilities alone, we have in our educational sector is so depressing that everyone especially the teachers transfers aggression to the weaker person.

Discipline corrects; punishment destroys. A child should at least learn something from discipline but when you punish, the child just becomes scared of you.

Then can you explain why abroad with all the good system, large percentage of secondary school students either drop out of school or fail to graduate from college? Can you explain why the top 10 students in every state in the USA are mainly those of African or Asian background? If truly punishment destroys, Why did students in the USA back in the 70s and 80s scored and performed better in standardized tests compared to students of the 2000s? Here's a hint, paddling or flogging was banned in schools in the early 90s!

verybadmouth:
With all the flogging, what have they resulted into. Touts, fraudsters, ritualists, rapist, thieves, prostitutes, etc.
Bros we need better laws in this country. Flogging a child doesn't make sense and should be abolished. It's not affecting us positively. We need to start doing things that future generations will remember us for in this country. Nobody cares about the future in this country. All we care about is now.

These things are not present abroad? Rapists, fraudsters, prostitutes plenty here in Atlanta. My guy, when you make generic statement make sure you back it up with facts, compare 9ja students as a whole even with all the poverty, predicaments and lamenting, our students are still able to keep up and often beat the best when given the right tools and opportunities. E.g. Take 10 Nigerian students away from Nigeria and put them in schools in the USA, give them nothing to worry about but face their studies and I guaranty that 8/10 of them would excel. Can we say the same for American students? Even with all the luxury and all the pampering, majority of them still drop out of school or maintain a mediocre GPA. Flogging helps to reset the brain, it builds concentration as long as it is not excessive.

The number one reason they said two siblings should not marry from the same family is because God forbid one of the marriage enters one chance and is served hot breakfast, the negative energy and the rift between both families could spill into the remaining marriage. Human beings can be predictable and also unpredictable, imagine if the guy turned into an overnight boxer and started using your sister's face as training before facing Tyson Fury, as her brother can you react the way you should without hurting your own wife? Similarly imagine you married the girl and she turned out to be troublesome to the point that her parents wants her to leave you, can your sister's marriage survive the fallout? Think am well well, what the elders see sitting down, the young ones cannot see while standing.

Nigerian youths na sex sex all the time, imagine one saying they need to last 15 minutes or 30 minutes to satisfy a woman.....MUMU! For those of us married, you learn that 5 to 10 minutes is average and on a very good/badt day you can go 20-30 minutes, anything more is just recklessness, sure you can get the occassional devil in you and go for an hour but most women stop enjoying it after 20 minutes. What young men need to learn is the art of 4play, when you 4play for 30 minutes to even an hour, the sex does not need to last like the Boston Marathon, you have already taken her close to cloud9, peneration is just the icing on the cake.

No matter how much you knack a woman, left, right, center, up and down, you can't measure up to another guy that is willing to lick and touch the right spots, say the right words and then go for the wonderful finish......Ji ma sun!

Don't underestimate the power of youth to bring about transformative changes in any society. The old kids in the block can never do that. Nigerian old men - or African at large - are the people that will tell you a lie and expect you to believe the lie like that even though you know they are lying, otherwise, they will say you disrespect the elderly. We can't build a modern society with this age-old African mentality or culture where respect is accorded by age.

Who are these cabals that you people keep talking about, are they not the same past leaders and people with vested interests in our common wealths. No cabals can stand on the way of a diligent and forceful resolve of the youth. Recently, they have succeeded in dividing the youth along the line of southern and northern rhetorics, but the sooner that the youth realize that a single discharge of bullets to the right destination can solve many of their problems than all these street protests they are doing, the better for them. After all, innocent people are being killed on a daily basis because of the ineptitude of these so called leaders. We see the bodies being loaded on the truck every day.

When you are dealing with people whose failure as a leader has caused many problems but don't want to change or pass the baton to more capable hands because of their greed and self interest, that society will need a lot of carnage to clean up the mess. Do you notice that these people only raise the alarm about the security situation in the country when one of them is killed? For instance, Dr Akunyili recent murder invited the military to the South East. But when over 40 people were killed in a single day in Kaduna, that didn't necessitate the intervention of the armed forces.

Just sit there and continue doing the comparison of who is more corrupt between the youth and these filthy old men. One thing you cannot take away from the youth is that they have a pride, that is why they always try to outdo each other, this energy can be harnessed for good governance. Mind you if I'm talking about the youth, I'm talking about the youth streetwise, not those ones that have been corrupted by the corporate system of this country.

I'm not going to bother breaking down your point one by one, I'm just going to take away your premise by asking simple questions.

Who is Desmond Elliot? Is he considered a youth?
Who is Dimeji Bankole? Is he considered a youth?

These two became politicians in their late 30s to early 40s, they were considered youths but represent the same corrupt system that has infected Nigeria since 1999. Being young and youthful does not make you ethical or good, being old does not necessarily make you useless or corrupt. You're talking about ifs and whats, if only Nigerian youths can unite? LMAO....We can't even unite on Nairaland, abeg wake up

pacespot:
Until Nigerian youth learn how to make these old men drop dead one by one, they will not stop playing on their intelligence. Imagine, Tinubu of all people after all the calamity we've witnessed with the current administration. If you think Buhari is worse, then you can place Tinubu at a far greater scale of worsedom than Buhari. Because he is surely going to beat Buhari in one record: corruption. All these old men are morally bankrupt and unfit to lead a decent society. Their aversion for the youth and what is new or creative is my greatest disapproval.

If only elections were won based on social media comments....lol. The corruption of these old men is peanuts compared to what the youths are capable of, e.g Desmond Elliot, Dimeji Bankole etc. Old or young, one man cannot save Nigeria, the strength of the cabal is way too high, a systematic reform starting from the grassroots led by innovative and ethical minds is needed, you can't just jump to presidency or governorship, in politics a coalition is needed whether we like it or not.

No this is subjective.

The level of the job demands a college degree at a minimum. We are talking about general consensus here not exceptions, we all know hiring managers won't even give you the opportunity to prove yourself, once they scan your CV and see highest degree as Eko Boys High School....lol

To the opening poster, do you have any background in I.T? If not then you're on a long thing. For you to even think about penetration testing, you must understand networking, threats and vulnerabilities. A penetration tester is basically someone paid by the company to exploit every system within the company looking for vulnerabilities so that the company can improve its security posture.

It is not an entry level job, it requires vast knowledge and heavy workload. Before thinking about penetration testing, start thinking about ethical hacking. What type of hat do you want wear? I don't mean cap or the ones aboki wear but whether you want to be black hat, white hat or grey hat. I wish I could give you definitive advise but you're well over your head, you need a solid foundation first before thinking about penetration or beta testing.

Last year, penetration testers ranked as one of the three most in-demand jobs in the growing cybersecurity job market.
[s]To become a penetration tester, a college degree is not necessary [/s]since it’s a skills-based profession. Employers want professionals who can demonstrate the required skills, regardless of education.
Cybrary offers realistic, virtual lab environments where you will gain real-world, hands-on skills you will use as a penetration tester.
Within the labs, you’ll use today’s latest tools and technologies; and, with help from a mentor, receive the guidance you need for your new career path.

Recommended Prerequisites

Two years experience in Information Security, System Administration, or Network Engineering.
A certification in Network+(Net+) or Security+(Sec+)

What is worth doing is worth doing well, a college degree is a must if you want to be paid adequately for your skillset. I don't know how it is done in Nigeria but abroad bachelors degree is now like high school certificate, nobody is going to pay a software tester, security admin or architect 70k to 120k dollars a year without a degree. In Nigeria I think they are paid 300k to 500k a year and even then they expect you to have a degree with 7-10 years of relevant experience, let's not give this guy false hope!

Not just customer service but any human in any business. Human beings remains the weakest point in any organization. From carelessness to bitterness or job fatigue, any serious organization must think about physical and logical asset protection, backup and recovery then continuous training on security protocols and measures.

Under no circumstances should there ever be a single point of failure, under no reason whatsoever should data not be replicated to a backup location like cloud and finally if you're dealing with big data, segment, segment, SEGMENT!

Ronaldo has been better in the past 7 years.... 3 CL titles, 3 league titles, the Euros , CL top scorer 4 times in the past 7 yrs .. balon dor 2 times...even tho we know its 3 ( forget the modric wayo) what impact did he have on Argentina winning it?? Scoring Ecuador and Bolivia in group games and when it mattered the most Colombia semis and Brazil final , he went missing again ,just like he always does in most big games ... mention one decisive goal messi has scored in the champions league or world cup during this same period??

Don't bother replying, it's obvious you don't know what you're talking about!

Kingcalls:
If he was so good y hasn't he been winning top scorer in the champions league , whr the best of the best compete... u cant score massive goals against minors and claim greatest... scoring goals is different from scoring decisive goals.... he didnt score in an el classico game since 2018 on the same day Ronaldo also scored b4 leaving for Italy.... he cudntvscore Colombia in the semis or Brazil in the final... I can go on and on... haaland , Lewandowski, Ronaldo, salah , mbappe have all score more decisive goals than messi in the past years

You're a comedian, last I checked he was still the number 2 highest goalscorer in champions league history and still had the highest goal total in the 2018 competiion. Name one player that you can say without any doubt played better than Messi when we compare the last 7 years, your closest guess would be cristiano and yet using your champions league stat as basis, he hasn't won highest goal scorer since 2017, so what are you smoking? All the other points you made are just plain dumb, nobody can deny his impact on barca and recently on Argentina winning the Copa, if you must argue, do it with sense!

cococandy:
Rape is non-consensual sexual encounter which by logic makes stealthing rape. Also it’s illegal in many countries. Your post is full of untruths.

So if anyone is arguing based on emotions, it’s you.
You see yourself in the other men who are guilty of this and it’s causing you to have an emotional response because that could very well be you. I understand that’s why a lot of you have issues saying what’s clear and true about this matter. You don’t think you’re like other “monster rapists” who use guns and knives to force their way. You will have problems accepting that this thing which many of you engage in is actually rape. If you can dissociate yourselves from the act, then maybe you can be more rational about it.

But like a typical NL guy who has nothing more useful to say, you’re deflecting your emotional response onto me. While in actual clear common sense you’re the illogical emotion laden party in this conversation.

Unfortunately for you, laws around the world does not revolve around your emotional rhetoric or lack of understanding! Rape is a felony while stealthing is not, until this changes you can continue rambling it won't change a thing; one is criminal case while the other will continue to be civil. A man you were having sex with got over excited and removed condom during sex, you did not tell him to stop, you continued enjoying it and then you turn around and prosecute him for stealthing claiming he raped you......Is this really the world you live in? Is this what you want to waste taxpayers money on? GTFOH! Yes you can sue him for mischief and probably win but rape? How about we stop demeaning the word and hurting actual victims!

cococandy:
Actually I’m not assuming women are the only one who suffer from this crime. If you read that post well, I used general pronouns when describing those who commit the crime and the victims of the crime. That part flew over your head

I only said you think women should be okay with it specifically because you men are the only ones on here throwing a tantrum about it being labeled a crime. I wonder why.

I already know that the women who don’t engage in this behavior have no problem seeing it as a crime. But the men who claim they don’t do it are all over the place having a problem with calling a spade a spade.

Very telling.

You're the one confusing yourself, go back and read my initial reply, only part I took issue with is labeling stealthing as rape, IT IS NOT! Any other argument is frivolous and a damn waste of my time and energy....PEACE!

How is messi the best player in the world... he was barcas best player and not best in the world .... if he was as good as they say...he wud hv won champions league...he hasn't in the past 7 yrs

Single players don't win champions league, the team does! Individuals are judged by stats and according to statistics, he outshined them all when it comes to goals and assists when we consider the past 3-5 years. If we were to go by your logic then Werner/Havertz would be best player in the world since Champions league is all that matters

cococandy:
because you may or may not be able to prove something doesn’t mean it’s not a crime.
If for example you hold a person under the gun and they don’t struggle while you have non-consensual sex with them, it doesn’t mean a rape didn’t occur.
Even though there’s no way to prove he or she was forced. Are you saying that without video evidence or confession, that such a person hasn’t committed a crime?

by definition, it’s not stealthing then is it?

so only stuff that can be proven should be considered a crime? Got it



I’m wondering who’s creating the problem. The people knowingly exposing their partners to bodily fluids without consent or their partners who are not okay with it. I’m guessing you think women should be okay with such acts in order not to be considered problematic right?

It takes only a small thread for one to see who many of you truly are on the inside.

It's funny that you automatically assume only women suffer from stealthing. From punching holes in condoms to using sperm from condoms being thrown away, women are often predators as much as prey....Get over yourself! Furthermore, you can't call something a crime unless a specific law prohibits it, you said stealthing is rape and I simply replied no law in the world calls it such.....It is criminal mischief and more likely a civil case than anything else as long as STDs are not involved. You're arguing based on emotions which I undertsand for women it's the default setting but when we talk about rape, we need to talk about the legal ramifications, you can't just keep labeling everything as rape, it is harmful to actual rape victims!

cococandy:
Stealthing is rape

I suggest you read up more about no this issue

According to which law? Can you prove stealthing nwithout video evidence or a confession? What happens when a condom break but it's too sweet and the lady doesn't want to stop? What happens when using defective condoms? How does a competent court say for certain that the act was intentional and not accidental? How do you curb cases of false allegations by scorned lovers? Una just dey create more problems for una sef

The guy was overpaid...he wrecked barca terribly... he requested for players that barca had to throw stupid money to sign them all in the name to satisfy messi so that he doesn't leave them.... the guy was competing with Ronaldo on sal cap ...and barca acted like a simp will ack towards a woman he loves ... in the end money finish , and he still left

What's the job of the accountant, treasurer, financial advisors etc? It's easy to blame the player but the real problem was lack of oversight. They kept spending and spending but they forgot the law of diminishing returns. Messi is the best player in the world and was paid accordingly, I fail to see how this is Messi's fault, you want the best you pay the best, if you can't afford him you let him go and get a huge transfer fee for him....simple!

Buhari we no want, Tinubu we frown upon, who is now the option? I think it's high time we start thinking deeply about this, what is the alternative? Who can rise up and be accepted in the North and South? No be everything be joke or tribal fight, who is brave enough, pure enough and confident enough to truly save Nigeria? When we truly sit down and ponder these questions, we can all see that 2023 will likely be more and more like 2019 and 2015.....vanity upon vanity!
