Hmmm true. FG needs to do something real quick to Help Air Peace

seunmsg:
Government can’t keep subsidizing everything. Air Peace is a private business and they must find a way to survive competition. Arik was flying straight to London Heathrow before they were out-priced by foreign airlines.


The only way Air Peace can survive the price war is to appeal to the sentiments of Nigerians. They must make all Nigerians see Air peace as a national brand that is serving the interest of all Nigerians and whose survival depends on the patronage of Nigerians against harsh foreign competitors.

Sadly, they mismanaged the fallout of their maiden flight by allowing Obidients ethnicize the narrative. The Igbo pushback and the massive insults against Yoruba people because some very few people on twitter suggested that the dressing of the hostess should reflect a united Nigeria identity as against an ethnic group was unnecessary. President Tinubu and Keyamo were not spared in the insult. Now, how will they change the narrative?

Investment › Progress: Nigerians Must Stop Paying Tithes And Start Paying Taxes - Reno Omokri by adefitim(op): 10:54pm On Apr 08, 2024
If Nigeria Must Progress, Nigerians Must Stop Paying Tithes and Start Paying Taxes

Nigerians prefer paying tithes to their churches and then demanding for roads and proper infrastructure from their government to whom they hardly pay taxes. Am I lying?

No matter how corrupt and inept you think the Nigerian government is, they are far more open and transparent about what they do with the little taxes you pay than ANY church in Nigeria. Do you see that guy who probed Emefiele? Jim Obazee. If President Tinubu should ask him to probe Nigerian mega-churches, some GOs would be in jail. Nigerian churches are some of the least regulated entities on planet Earth.

Okay, which church in Nigeria has given you, as a member, a breakdown of what they do with your tithes? Yet, you see their General Overseers and Senior Pastors living extravagant lives, even where there is extreme poverty in their congregations. They build schools, often with members tithes, that the children of those members cannot attend.

In contrast, the Nigerian government publishes an annual budget of what they will do with your tax Naira. A budget that can and is often scrutinised and criticised by the public and media, because it is a public document. And when they spend the appropriated monies, the Freedom of Information Act allows you to get information on who was paid what, when and how.

That is how the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation was exposed. But can you dare ask your pastors what they do with your tithes?

Nigeria will never reach its full potential if Nigerians don't pay taxes. It works both ways. Taxes give the government more funds, and make the citizens more vigilant over how their government spends their money.

According to the World Bank, taxes account for 39% of the GDP of Germany, 46.3% in Denmark, 45.4% in France, 42.9% in Sweden and Belgium, 34.1% in Japan, and 23.7% in South Africa. But in Nigeria, it is an abysmally low rate of less than 10%.

Despite the above, no citizen of any country is as entitled as a Nigerian. Our government earns about $30 billion a year from oil and gas to a population of 220 million people. And on that basis, we want cheap fuel, electricity, and high minimum wages, as well as free education and pipe-borne water.

Yet, according to Statistica, Nigeria has a higher rate of paying tithes than the above listed countries. Why are we not individually and collectively prospering more than those countries?

The statistics are clear: countries with high tax payments and low tithe payments prosper individually and collectively more than nations with low tax payment and high tithe payment.

Yeshua said "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”

Money belongs to Caesar (government). Pay your taxes. Tithes in Scripture were ONLY agricultural. They were NEVER monetary. And they were only requested by God from Jews and paid ONLY to Levites-Numbers 18:24.

And tithes were agricultural only. The reason for this was that the Levites were not allowed to farm. The modern payment of tithes in Christendom (as opposed to Christianity) cannot be supported by ANY Scripture.

These preachers will use a verse from Malachi 3:10, which states:

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house."

However, note that a storehouse refers to a barn, where ONLY food and other agricultural produce were kept. The Jews were never asked to bring money.

Additionally, there are multiple other laws in Malachi and the laws of Mosaic, which include laws allowing polygamy. If they take that law from Malachi, why do they not observe the other 612 or so other laws? Because it is all about the Benjamins, baby!

I don't even think it's all about tribal issue


When Adenuga crashed the prices of GSM Sim card in 2004/2005
To 2000 Naira

Nigerians benefitted

MTN and Econet were selling likes as high as 35000 then

But Adenuga crashed it


Building a good business is the key here
If a business is built well who really cares about tribe?


When Nigerian business persons begin to build global brands
Who will really care about tribe?

It's because we haven't evolved as a people
Thats why we still think tribe

Even some of our neighboring African countries don't even think tribe


But Nigeria tribalises everything
Which will continue drawing this country backwards

Started from our founding fathers

Presently our elites are at the fore front of this issue
Continuing on this part

Nigeria may never really develop
Because these things will continue drawing the Nations progress backwards
We need to revolve as quickly as possible if we want to move forward

Politics › CBN SETTLES ALL FOREX BACKLOG, AS EXTERNAL RESERVES RISE TO $34.11bn by adefitim(op): 12:24pm On Mar 21, 2024
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has cleared the $7 billion foreign exchange (FX) backlog inherited by Governor Yemi Cardoso.

Gatekeepers News reports that this was disclosed In a statement on Wednesday, CBN’s Acting Director of Corporate Communications, Mrs. Hakama Sidi Ali, confirmed settlement of all valid FX backlog claims.

This move fulfills a key pledge on his appointment and signifies a significant step towards restoring confidence in the economy.

The CBN, she said, employed Deloitte Consulting, an independent auditing firm, to meticulously assess the transactions, ensuring that only legitimate claims were honoured.

“Any invalid transactions were referred to the relevant authorities for further investigation,” she stated.

The CBN’s commitment to tackling the FX backlog appears to be paying off.

External reserves have seen a significant rise, reaching $34.11 billion as of March 7, 2024, the highest level in eight months

This month-on-month increase is attributed to a notable rise in remittance payments from Nigerians abroad and increased foreign investment in local assets, including government debt securities.

The CBN’s actions are part of a broader strategy outlined during the last Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting.

Culture › You People Have No Strong Diplomatic Culture— Reno Omokri by adefitim(op): 7:57pm On Mar 16, 2024
Thank you for your feedback. Am I the one spending time and money trying to destroy Erisco because of one person's lie? I hate Igbo, yet while his fellow Igbos are trying to destroy Eric Umeofia, I stood for him and his brand, without asking for or collecting a dime, and encouraged Nigerians to patronise Erisco products.

Do you know why I did that? It is not because he is innocent, even though he is. It is because he has an estimated 4000 workers, who are overwhelmingly of Igbo origin, and I believe it is wicked to destroy his company and render them jobless.

Stop letting your emotions control you. That is why some of you hate yourselves and accuse others of hating you. Do not do or say everything your mind tells you to say or do. And most importantly, learn to love yourselves!

Nothing will ever make a Hausa man mobilise against Dangote. No Yoruba will ever mobilise against Globacom. But who is mobilising against Erisco?

If such a thing happened in Yoruba land, elders would intervene, and the offender would apologise, and the matter would die a natural death. But people without a solid diplomatic culture always think wars are better than words!

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

They are my people and I love them still “ Anthony Joshua .🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Majority of those online miscreants deliberately trolled AJ because he "dared" come home to visit Buhari, postrating fully to depict the omoluabi he truly is.
They could not stomach his attempt to show he was well bred and respect elders, not to the Buhari they do not like.🙄🙄🙄
