Rubbish!! This news done pain me aswear what a foolish man

Are you a PDP party man?

Maxymilliano:
Politician without scruples.

APC rigged election you contested and PDP went to court and reclaimed your mandate and today you think APC is the best for you ?

How i wish Yari the former governor can teach him a lesson just to tell him that he was not a popular candidate before supreme Court awarded that seat to him.

Get your facts right. Supreme court dashed him the mandate.

APC won everything in Zamfara with 70% margin.

Supreme Court disqualified them because of internal party squabble.

simple250:
Saraki Dino where not governors of their state

It's even worse with them, cos it's stated that legislators would lose their seats upon defection from their party. That of state governors was not mentioned.

SirBunky85:
the only bold statement the courts can make to serve as deterrent to wayward defectors is to declare their seat vacant and install the second winner of the highest votes cast. I just pray the courts will one day sack a sitting governor for decamping

There's no such law, the courts can rely on.

Except if the NASS pass such law. And even at that, it will still be subjected to subjective interpretation as its not in the constitution.

The only way out is to expressly state it in the constitution that once you change party, you resign whatever position you occupy through the party.

But this will make the parties too powerful, and they may start bullying elected leaders.

Maxymilliano:
Obaseki decamped to the PDP after he was disqualified from contesting APC gubernatorial primaries, obtained form, passed through screening and contested the PDP primaries alongside other contestants.

If indeed you believe the mandate belongs to the APC, he should have resigned before contesting under the PDP.

simple250:
Which mandate ...obaseki was disqualified from contesting during the election .

Then why did he not resign as a governor before defecting?

Minjim:
The race

There is no winner yet. They just started.

Minjim:
The winner was one of those that were not affected by the ugly crash.

Winner of what?

anthonyuncle:
they will have to create a well distanced barricade between the fans and the riders

For the entire 3,000 kilometres?

Boomboost:
Why name a place Brest?

Couldn't the Martin guy dodge the "idiot" and konk him as he rides off. I would have jumped off my bicycle and slap him. Stupid!

Their legs are sort of locked to the pedal. They can't jump off just like that.

igbowoman:
Nobody has asked this question.
When did cow rearing become a topic of discussion in any nation.
The worst thing that happened in Nigeria is the fulani
They don't think like regular people do
No thanks to the SW support for their cow rearing brothers the rest of the nation is now discussing nama since this character took office while the rest of the world is moving forward.
What a tragedy

Its also the SW that is responsible for why your governor is yet to put in place and also sign a law banning open grazing?

Praxis758:
There's no way the state governors can legally enforce the ban since they don't have constitutional power over the police.

It would have been possible if the states have the arms bearing security outfits that can match the armed herdsmen weapons to weapons.

And the security outfits being established by the governors can only arrest but not prosecute. The federal police is already seeing them as rivals who have come to duplicate their duties.

Let the state security outfits be constitutionally empowered to carry fire arms and also prosecute suspects.

Let them do the one they can do first. That is, send the bill to the House of Assembly and then sign it into law!

Do the one within your power first! I dont know why we keep excusing these governors of their incompetence.

Pidginwhisper:
South generally, not just South East.

Ekiti state is the first state in the South to put in place a law limiting open grazing of cows. I'm sure of that. Ondo state has also followed suit. These are two states I'm sure of. So you are not totally correct with your assertion.

naijapips02:
So the Iranian people do not deserve freedom of speech? The same people promoting Twitter garbage in every country.

Bunch of hypocrites. Every country should ban Twitter.

Jeezuzpick:
Twitter is a social platform where INDIVIDUALS, INSTITUTIONS, BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENTS place information and make their positions known.

It is also regulated and offensive tweets taken down.

These websites are run by biased people and created for the purpose of putting out their own biased information.

Will they regulate themselves and take down their own offensive posts?

No.

So, the comparison isn't really based on logic and reality.

The regulatory aspect is biased and based only on how its leadership feels or wants it. They need to Subject themselves to the laws and courts of the land in which they operate, but they don't want to do that, that is why they refused to have a presence in most places they operate, yet making a lot of money from those places.

The platform can be used to incite civil unrest in countries.

No reasonable govt allows such such level of control from a foreign outfit.

We all saw what Twittter did when the US was about to be plunged into crisis. They restricted all people wanting to cause crises for their country and never considered anything called Freedom of expression.

When this happens in other countries, instead to stay on the part of the state to maintain civil decorum, they will be urging the agents of destabilisation on and will be talking about freedom of expression.

The platform is biased and hypocritical.

naijapips02:
Twitter was allowing threats and posts from terrorists and removing the Presidents warning to terrorists. If you can't reason the motive behind such actions, you are pretty not smart.

Thank you. The big Techs are almost becoming agents of destabilisation in other countries. Yet, they want to be left alone without any form of control. Jokers

ivandragon:
It's interesting how pmb's minions are trying so hard to twist a narrative.

PMB went against Twitter because he felt hurt that they rightly took off his tweet. His action was based on his ego which he couched as national interest.

By the way, the US got a court order to seize those sites, which one did PMB obtain?

Where is the court order?

codemaniacs:
Lagos is the first to implement... other states haven't implemented it.. so for now, its just Lagos...

It is not the state that will implement Oga. You people just like to argue.

Lagos as a pacesetter is only giving organisations advance notification and explanation.

It is the employer that will implement. Both private and public. All what tax authorities will do afterwards is to audit. And they don't do this Audit often, but when they finally have your time and do the Audit, no matter how many years, they will calculate your short falls and give you. They may even slam you some penalty fine.

That was why I said you need to read more to get more informed.

Once the law is passed by the National Assembly and signed to law by the president, all employers Nationwide are expected to comply. It does not need any special implementation.

For companies that have branches all over Nigeria, like banks and others, the implementation is effected across-the-board nationwide.

Standard well-managed organisations will implement immediately the law is gazetted as they do not always want to run foul of tax authorities.

This advisory is mainly even coming from PWC, I don't know how it became a Lagos issue sef.

tunapawizzy:
Lagosians shouldn't complain,Tinubu 2023, shey na Americans go fund d campaign?

Every state in Nigeria is affected

Ayo2004:
Okay,you are right

He is not right. The Law was passed by the National Assembly and therefore applicable to all States in Nigeria. Lagos just seems to be the only one giving its residents full notification.

codemaniacs:
I'm just saying don't blame the entire country for something that happened in the SW.

Lol. Did you not see Finance Act 2020?

codemaniacs:
The news is about Lagos State not "for this kwantry".

It is not only Lagos. Read more to get more enlightened.

codemaniacs:
Yoruba politicians not "our politicians".

Don't tell me you don't understand that the ACT governs the entire country and not just Lagos.

harjay1986:
the funny things is that the new tax take effect since last month ... the company that i work with just have to do wayo for us by increasing our gross but our net still remain the same naa the mata we still dey settle since

You guys are lucky. Some companies reduced the take home of their staff to meet up with the new paye.

Solsix:
Exactly my thoughts, so they waited for him to post a new car after two years to remind him of his balances ??

They said they've not been able to get him to pay up.

Imagine someone is owing you and has been using all kind of tricks to evade payment. You may get tired and just leave the person for a while.

But I can bet if you sight the person flaunting the item on social media, you'll be tempted to request your balance no matter how long you've left the person to karma.

Oga we know it's social media that can handle all you so called VIPs in this age and time. They won't pay their debt but will be forming up and down.

Given your tempered response, it is obvious you know them and has done business with them.

After your lawyers write them, pls publicise the letter, the company will definitely publicise a counter response and we'll know the lying party.

kvin33:
Wait till you find out how Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom came to be. Umu anumanu. Igbo Domination kee you dia! Your irrational Igbo hate is the reason for this thread and the reason your Nigeria remains doomed till tomorrow. You think you are doing us. Keep fooling yourselves. Lunatics, Everywhere!

Igbo hate is the reason for clarification on how the geopolitical zones came about?

jerryunit48:
Can someone take a Look at the map again and tell me how Cross River State is not part of East ….

Read and understand.

A map/geographical North, West, East and South is different from a geo-political nomenclature.

Plomo:
Same thing on my mind.

That’s the kind of company that the boss will call you to abuse you on Sunday because of a spill over

It may be in Dollars, Euros or pounds

careytommy37:
Which type IT job be 55k?

Hope you are aware naira was not put in front of it?

awoo47:
leave mumu alone.
I don tire to explain dis

We have so many ignorant folks for this Nigeria

Too many. That's why the country is this shitty as some of them will get into position of governance one day.

PVision2020:
Do you think OAU is your 2 bedroom flat that will be powered by 300KW solar...lol. OAU is like a local government, with several transformers. You have the teaching Hospital, staff Quarters, Lecture theatres, Staff schools, religious buildings, OAU Dam (as the school generates it's own water supply), several research institutes, Student hostels, Factories, Markets, Offices, etc. OAU is One of the largest campuses in Nigeria and Africa. And the power supply on campus is almost 24/7, this is obvious from the little amount they spend on deisel. There was no interrupt of supply throughout my first semester on campus. That 300KW will be consumed by just one block in Awo hall of residence.

Thank God we have thinking guys like you.

fkj950ax:
Assuming OAU has a student population of 20,000, and half reside on campus.
That's 10,000 users of power daily in the hostels.

5 days a week, the 20,000 use power during lectures.

The staff quarters houses lecturers and their families, let's say another 5,000 people daily.

Then there are street lights and other none academic buildings that use power daily.

If you add it up and multiply the users/day by NERC price per Kw for the price band a University falls under, then you will see the N80m is plausible.

Thank you.
