Dolorsa: Are you in any position to ask people to pay their taxes or teach them how to spend their money? When was the last time you helped anyone around you?
Every time I have the opportunity to do so even though I don't occupy public space as a celebrity does. You still have not answered my question. Are you incapable of answering?
Please how is asking him to pay his taxes and do charity work and systematic philanthropy as oyinbo celebrities do equal to not wishing him well? I don't understand your point please. Care to explain
Anyone & anything associated with the Alliance of Past/Present Criminals, APC is filled with lies, denials, distortions and propaganda. How can such people pretend to be saintly progressives
manontree: But the EFCC spokesman confirmed the raid earlier. In any case[b] this statement never denied the raid. Just a bunch of mumbo jumbo[/b] statements
aminulive: POLITICSNIGERIA.COMThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has since early hours of today, been inundated with calls that operatives of the Commission raided the residence of the former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.
We need to state for the records that the EFCC did not raid Ambode’s house. It is instructive that his administration, like other former governors is under investigation, since they no longer constitutionally enjoy immunity against prosecution.
The Commission hereby states with high sense of responsibility that the operatives did not raid Ambode’s residence.
Whatever the Commission is presently doing with regards to the investigation is in line with its mandate and the rule of law.
We wish to inform the social media to be circumspect in the reportage of any news with regards to investigation activities of the Commission.
As a tradition, the Commission does not carry out investigation on the pages of the newspapers or through the media. Our operations are always covert until at a time when we file charges in court.
Therefore, the attempt to cast the Commission in a bad light is unacceptable as the EFCC will never engage in illegal act. We remain committed to the war against corruption.
Small girl that should face her studies talking anyhow on nairaland.
NwanyiOkpa: I am having a very tough time right now.

I took a pregnancy test and it was negative but i am yet to still get my period.
Is there anything i can do? someone suggested i take Beecham + Andrew Liver Salt. I am really confused right now.
Please ask your man if he has paid all his taxes to Fowler's FIRS and the LIRS. Or is that not how people in saner climes do such that there environments are so much better and we are dumping ourselves there

MudRaker: If you even consider inflation and Naira depreciation you will also see that the 70million Naira appreciation in tax revenue is just too damn small given also the sharp increase in taxation and VAT rates by this govt.
All govt services have also increased and as such VAT ought to increase as well
Bridget95: These guys have finished our money,but the painful part of it is that they have an army of tribalistic youths singing their praise.what a shame!
Stingman: Buhari summons FIRS boss over tax revenue decline
It was sent to Fowler on August 8 by Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, in response to an initial report on tax collections he (Fowler) forwarded to the presidency on July 26, 2019 marked FIRS/EC/CWP/0249/027.
In the letter, the president directed Fowler to explain variations by providing a “comprehensive variance analysis” for each tax item between 2015 and 2018.
“The letter specifically raised concerns over the collections from 2015 to 2017, describing them as “worse than the collections between 2012 and 2014.” Guardian 19.8.2019.
lilytender: Go to the Courts and tell the judges that all thieves and armed robbers should be freed because there are several thieves and robbers yet to be caught.
See formula to justify the protection of your own thieves like Oshi-omo-Ole said that all sins of APC, Alliance of Past/Present Criminals are forgiven? Clever by half. Dead on arrival.
seunmsg: The law is simply in operation. If he stole funds belonging to the good people of Lagos state, every kobo should be recovered from him. There should be no sacred cow in the fight against corruption.
Tell that to the BMC zonebees, please.
eyeview: In what appears a brazen mockery of President Muhammadu Buhari’s war on corruption to date, a former governor accused of absconding amidst his ongoing fraud trial has been seen attending a rally of Nigeria’s ruling party.
Orji Kalu joined other politicians of the All Progressives Congress in Umuahia to stomp for the party’s candidates ahead of the general elections next month.
The appearance comes amidst pronouncements by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that the former governor was wanted after departing Nigeria for Germany on purported health grounds in November 2018.
The N7.7 billion trial had remained stalled ever since, although the court fixed further hearing for later this month.
Mr Kalu left office as governor of Abia State in Nigeria’s South-east in May 2007, and has faced allegations he squandered state resources during his reign.
After several judicial manoeuvres which critics said were designed to frustrate his prosecution, the EFCC ultimately reactivated Mr Kalu’s case last year, filling amended graft charges of up to N7.7 billion against him.
At the resumed hearing at the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on November 5, 2018, the EFCC expressed shock that Mr Kalu had departed the country despite seizing his travel documents.
The former governor’s lawyers said he travelled to recuperate in Germany following a surgical operation.
The judge scolded Mr Kalu for departing the country without due notice to the court, and gave him seven days to return to the country for his trial.
Although the matter was subsequently adjourned till November 12, 2018, Mr Kalu failed to show up. He has been reportedly sighted at different parts of the country by those who know him.
Last week, the Buhari campaign announced Mr Kalu as a key member of the president’s reelection committee.
The announcement drew nationwide outrage, even though the politician was not sighted in public.
But at the rally in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, today, Mr Kalu was shown on NTA wearing white clothes with an APC campaign lapel Friday afternoon.
It was not immediately clear why Mr Kalu seamlessly roamed about in the country without being apprehended by law enforcement authorities.
A spokesperson for the EFCC told PREMIUM TIMES the agency was not aware that Mr Kalu was in the country, much less attending a public event.
A spokesperson for Mr Kalu did not return requests for comments Friday evening.
