Are you sure you read and understood what he said....i seriously recommend you read through again...this time slowly.

Tell us what you read and let's assess your own level of comprehension.

In the quest to justify and make a case for the increment, the controller or whoever it was said he himself paid XYZ to get his 12-year a passport. Mind you, the other reasons he stated were the same as those from one year ago when the prices were increased from 25 to 50k

Perhaps, you're the one that needs to reread the piece again.

stop complaining
tinubu is better than buhari

My post wasn't comparing Tinubu to Buhari.

Well, I'm not complaining. To the glory of God, I have no reason to complain.

I don't know about you though?

Real jokers
6 more years of greatness.

The next president after the great Jagaban government in 2031 will be swimming in money

Rich government, poor citizens.... Nigerians are the easiest people to govern. All you need is sell the good side of the story to a few gullible ones.

Tax will enrich the government, no doubt but do you trust any Nigerian politician to not loot?

Nigeria's problem is not revenue generation. More money only means more to steal.

If Tinubu is really serious about helping the government generate more money, he should have started with blocking leakage and excessive government spending.

What he's doing now is like fetching water inside a basket 🧺... He will dry up the pockets of the taxpayers in no time. This aggressive taxation will only drag more people below the poverty line.

I just calculated my tax now and must say I'm impressed by what I saw....but there's a challenge.

What do I get from the government in return for the tax I pay?

I dug my own borehole and lay my own water pipes. I paid for my own healthcare and education. There's no more subsidy according to the government themselves.

The electrification of my house now cost over 3x what it used to and with that, I needed to have backup from my own pocket.

Security is almost nonexistent in my village.

So what exactly am I paying tax for?

Just a reminder..... There's no country that has ever taxed it way to prosperity. Taxation is not the ideal way to raise money for innovative governments. Only slave drivers think taxation as a vehicle for prosperity.

Who chased the Jews comot. The ottoman empire, by killing or imposing hefty tax on them. After the fall of ottoman empire the British took over and rename the land to (British mandate)

Please stop disgracing yourself in the public. Go and learn or watch YouTube videos on the topic.

Mrfixitt:
War is useless but the head slammers won't allow peace reign

No be for this world people like you go get sense. Even after all the news and evidence before your eyes, you still haven't realized what's happening?

You still think that Israel is the god's chosen people (saints) that all their neighbours want them dead and gone......even in this age and time?...na wah o.

A roadside farm is not a private venture... it's a community project....at least for a country like ours where pilfering and stealing is seen as smartness.

Don't get me wrong. Those with farms in the inner part of the community also have to deal with human and animal pest, but the ones by the roadside have a bigger problem.

I don't have a farm in Ibadan so I won't be able to speak to managing one's farm from another state.

JovialJune:
Oh so now men are also gold diggers, good to know they aren't the only one wanting financial security in marriage.

Obviously, you can read....but there's an issue with your comprehension.

The post isn't about gold digging.... it's about escaping billings from in-laws.

aribisala0:
You don't want to pay for electricity?
You want government to subsidize that

Nigerians unfortunately will realize that they cannot have electricity unless they pay for it

Are you in anyway insinuating that we've not been paying for electricity?

The question from the publication is that can we say there's been a commensurate increase in power generation and distribution, in comparison to the increased tariff since the last one year.

They talk about lack of investment in the power sector, but nobody is asking them where they plugged the excess revenue they've generated since the last year of this current tariff.... remember the amount of power we've generated has remained static since Jonathan's era....so again, where have they been channelling the excess from the increased revenue to?

Nigeria's problem is not revenue generation. Those who lied to you that the government is poor or cannot cater to the needs of Nigerians because of our population are being economical with the truth. The country lacks proper accountability and they're too many gullible ones that are easily swayed or lied to.

Kill corruption and watch the country progress.

You can send a message. I'll introduce you to a surveyor that might be able to help

Thanks for the response. I'll send you an email now. Looking forward to discussing with you.

Old news. He has jumped to another madness. Trump is insane.

I was surprised seeing this news here as if it's the latest.... Trump has moved on to another show of madness.

Ovacoma:
No military targets again? Funny! Israelis planes still taking off and landing at will man.

Same way Iranian missiles are landing unhindered in Israel.

Righteousness2:
Watch the sharp decline in launched from Iran:

June 13 - 200 missiles
June 14 - 100 missiles
June 15 - 75 missiles
June 16 - 30 missiles
June 17 - 20 missiles


In a week's time they'll be throwing stones and Knockouts.

Children of ISRAEL, Una do this one..😂

What's left to strike after they've already hit their targets?

They're not in the business of destroying civilian facilities or killing women and children.

Or do you want them to start striking hospitals and schools like your god's chosen people?

Christlike01:
You've got it all wrong! The real terrorist is Iran—exporting terrorism to every part of the world in the name of religion. Israel has never been a bully; it's Iran that has vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This is the same Iran that sponsors Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and others, while simultaneously pursuing the development of weapons of mass destruction and engaging in acts of violence.

Iran is the truly dangerous actor here.

If Nairaland had not been owned by a Nigerian, I'd have said this comment of yours is written by an Israeli sponsored internet stooge... I mean no offence...my apologies if you feel offended 🙏

Everything you said up there except for Hezbollah and Houthis are all made up lies from Netanyahu. Hamas was actually funded and sponsored by Israel...sounds strange isn't. The original plan for Hamas was to use them to cause division amongst the PLO. Fact check this please...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7grSsuFSS0&pp=ygUWTmV0YW55YWh1IGZ1bmRlZCBIYW1hcw%3D%3D

Also, regarding the production of weapon of mass destruction, do you even know how Israel got their nuclear weapon and if they officially registered as a nuclear power state?... let's leave that for another day.

Truth is, if your neighbour is Israel and you're witnessing what they've been doing to others within the region, and you sit with your hands fold, thinking they won't get to you as is the case with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman... then your case is similar to Nigeria that is calling terrorists - bandits and calling freedom fighters - terrorists.

Christlike01:
Come on, you're not illiterate — you can do better than this! As it stands now, Israeli fighter jets are operating in and out of Iran without facing any real danger. They are hitting all their designated targets at will. Have you seen any Iranian fighter jets over Israeli airspace?

The only thing Iran is doing is firing ballistic missiles indiscriminately toward Israel. In fact, the number of those missiles is even decreasing, as the majority of the launch sites have been taken out by Israel.

This is exactly what Trump meant when he said, "We now have complete control of the sky above Iran."

Now, regarding why Israel needs U.S. involvement at this stage: Israel's objective in the war is to eliminate Iran's nuclear sites. It's important to understand that some of these sites are located several miles underground. The United States is the only country with the necessary munitions — bunker-busting bombs capable of reaching the depths where Iran’s nuclear facilities are situated.

Believe it or not, Israel will make mincemeat of Iran. Remember, Israel is a nuclear-armed country — Iran stands no chance!

The bolded above is the exact reason I support Iran having their own nuclear weapons because you can't have a bullying neighbour like Israel who goes around terrorising her neighbours with distructions and nuclear bombs, and ask the same neighbours to not arm up... This madness has got to stop 🛑

Christlike01:
The shit is about to get real— the US will definitely strike Iran! The end of Ayatollahs' regime in Iran is imminent— freedom for the Persian people!

The type of freedom Libyans are enjoying now I guess

When will you people learn that the West mean no good for any other race or people except for their kind?

mastermaestro:
If you have power to stop your neighbor who wakes up every day chanting 'death to Steve, death to Steve', will you watch him develop the capability to back his chant with action? No sane person will. I will not, either.

I will do everything to prevent you from being able to carry out your open threats against my existence. Maybe you have not watched Khamenei's numerous publicized death chants against Israel and America. Netanyau, a sensible leader, does not intend to see that dark reality happen in his days. There must be a change of regime in Iran. Those bloodthirsty Islamists will be driven out of power soonest.

Persia was a beautiful country before fanatical demons took over and turned it into a terrorist minefield.

The real reason why Iran has not developed its own nuclear weapon is because this same supreme leader y'all want dead gave a fatwah (Google this to learn more) for his country not to create one. His theory was simple. Nuclear weapon will cause a lot of collateral damage killing both their enemies and innocents, and their religion forbids that.

Another thing you also need to know is that Iran is the cause of their own downfall. If they had built a nuclear weapon since the early 2000 when they first had their enriched uranium, no country would have challenged them in the manner Israel is going about bullying all its neighbours, because they too would have had their own deterrent. That's what nuclear weapon is used for.

Indian and Pakistan are both nuclear power states, hence the mutual respect they have for eachother. They fight, but they dare not threaten to kill the leader of their respective country like Israel or the US can boast of.

Finally, lemme leave you with this to ponder.... Why is the West not discussing North Korea?

That is the only country in the world that directly insults and chant death to America in the open. They don't hide it.... But if we go by your theory of taking the fight to the nextdoor neighbour that chants death to Steve, the US ought to have taken the fight to them, but guess what, they won't dare.

Hello Mr. Adeyemi,

Hope you find the work hands you're looking for....I'd like to know how much one can get a good farmland at Agbowa. Depending on the price, I'll like to get a few acres.

You for state Ur location naw so that those close by can patronise you.

What title docs does the land have?

Eriokanmi:
That's the way all these Arabs think and behave. They're always irrational

Arabs are the easiest fall guys.... Very easy to call them barbaric islamist terrorists, but you forgot that that same country (Libya) used to be the best in Africa some few years ago until your so called God's chosen people instigate the US-Obama led administration and NATO to go and kill Gaddafi in the name of democracy and peace.

The same type of peace they gave DR Congo after killing Patrice Lumunba, and Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso. As you're reading this, they're currently plotting how to invade the latter again, but this time, for another nationalist by the name Ibrahim Traore.

This same angels of the Western world and their NATO alliance killed over a million people in Iraq in their battle against weapons of masses destruction. It turned out that the whole weapon of masses destruction thing was a lie sold the US by the "god's chosen people"... Yet, not a single person was tried for war crimes.

I know you already have your mind fixated on Arabs as the baddies and I can't change that...Peace and love 🕊️

When they reduce, owo foundation, owo decking, owo roofing, Jide should come and tell us to reduce rent. His agencies have doubled fees payable to government. A bag of cement is 11k, iron rods, planks, gravel, sands and labour.

I'm glad you wrote this....you took the words out of my mouth.

Building a house in Lagos now is no joke...and not for the feign hearted. All agencies have doubled or their fees and we don't have to mention the massive malpractices or corruptions going on there.

ResidentSnitch:
When was the last time America celebrated something as significant as this?

The US celebrate what's known as Thanksgiving day. It's a day they celebrate their successful extermination of the people that are native to the land - the red Indians.

How much can I use to clear a Toyota Corolla 2016 model entering via roro?

Also what's the cost for clearing a 2016 Hyundai Sonata


Note: all duties included.

We're in 2025.... Are you still in this business and if yes, where's your office located?

I expect the mods to bring this down considering recent events in the country.

Let's all play a part in building a better Nigeria.

I think one of the greatest huddle in palm farming is acquisition of land in a good location.

They're so many people out there working round the clock to scam potential buyers. It's very difficult to trust people in this age and time.

gabbyfarms:

Does it mean it was not grafted?

I expect grafted a plant to start fruiting earlier.

As if it's that easy to find lions everywhere....not to mention seeing a stray cub. Mister, you bought the lion cub ni....don't take us for a fool.

osuofia2:
It is because Muslims are usual suspects. It's common with them, so no big deal when everyone suspects Muslims as been responsible for such acts. It's common with the religion, a religion who promises virgins for killing in the name of mattyredom such should be expected

When you get to a certain age and maturity level, you'd know that there's an agenda to magnify any offence that's committed by a Muslim with a view to creating that long lasting impression that Islam is synonymous with terrorism.

Ponder on this for a moment...if the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was the one that made the pronouncements that's made by the US senator that they're the ones funding Boko haram, ISIS and Al-Qaida....what would have been the headline of all the major News outlets and how long do you think such news would have been on air for?

Compare the media coverage for that with the ones they give crimes committed by Muslims around the world... It's okay if you've not been noticing, but start paying attention to it from this day and you'll understand what the agenda is.

We are making progress in the country little by little

Progress by way of debt and improvement.... 🤔
