Don't be surprised some people's monthly bills can actually be more than $20k per month. Dont forget some people have businesses and employees they pay aside their personal bills. So, its feasible.
Politics › Re: BREAKING: Nigerians To Pay 7.5% VAT On Mobile Bank Transfers, USSD Transactions. by AnotherAlien: 1:28am On Jan 15
Namaster:
It's like there is a COALITION of Media Houses who have conspired to be AWFUL at their jobs.

ALL over the world, news companies are FAILING left and right. They are more concerned with MANIPULATING people than communicating the news.

Just look at this NONSENSE headline.

It made it seem like banks would deduct 7.5% VAT from the FULL amount of each transfer.

Meanwhile, the reality is that the 7.5% would be charged on the BANK CHARGES for said transactions.

If your bank charges you #26 to transfer #100K.
The government now says they must charge 7.5% of #26.


That is it.

It may NOT be ideal given the CRIMINALITY of Nigerian Politicians.
But this news article is NOT doing a good job of passing the CORRECT info.
If you are correct at the bordered, then awareness needs to be created by FG so the populace don't stay confused. Not everyone understands the sudden tax laws; more focus should have been on orientation of the populace than the speed involved in implementing and enforcing same on everyone.

Bottom-line, several people and businesses still don't have a fu grasp of what this Tax changes means to them and the value they stand to gain from it.

One asked me sometime ago "when lions and hyenas chase us, what do we do?" I told her "we run and climb iroko trees
When they think of Africa, the think of jungle, cave, grass land/hut
One even asked me if its true that Africans live on trees. I told her yes, and that even our airports are built on trees, and thats how all Africans in America flew there - airplanes took off from trees. She believed me and suddenly started telling her friends and they all believed, like isnt that backwards?

Some women work in building sites bro and they do hard labor like the men working there because they need a job and need to support their spouses and families. So yes, I have seen some before.

I'd actually love to learn tiling. Na where to learn be the challenge.
I'm sure there are folks advertising their tiling business here on nairaland. Just search for tiling / tiler and you will find some handles that can point you in the direction of how they started their tiling careers. Dem folks make good money too if they're good at what they do.

There are female bricklayers, carpenters, painters, shoe makers, tilers etc too. After all, what a man can do, a woman can do better.

Anything Buhari touches turns to dust....Nigeria is in intensive care since he ascended the mantle of leadership.

Naija government have no direction and no body gets the axe when things don't go as planned.

They keep making policies that are ineffective at the detriment of the citizens.. They never take responsibility.

It is shameful that we still waste some much money in the name of subsidy and after six years of Buhari in power, no new refinery built. We are in serious debt and have very little to show.

Federal roads are now major death trap.

Things are really bad... Only our leaders gets to lick the honey
The worst part about the failed refineries is that the government wants it that way. It's apparent from CBN Governor's excitement about the coming of Dangote Refinery without any thoughts of the revival of the nation's refineries. Even FG refused to privatize NNPC because it's collapse favors a few pockets and of course their cronies, including Dangote.

Justbehave:
I'm yet to understand why a man can be so weak to take his life because of a woman Disgusting I must say.
It's not necessarily because of a woman sometimes, it's the feelings of betrayal and distrust that end up getting revealed. If someone you trust with your life sometimes do certain things you didn't see coming, you might make some hasty decisions.

So it's about the feeling that follows some actions, not necessarily the gender of who caused it. Haven't we heard of someone matcheting a man to death because he duped him of some money?

May we never run into any type of feeling that will trigger suicide bro, that stuff is deeper than we think. Even billionaires and celebrities in advanced countries have their records of suicidal attempts or tendencies. Would we say money or women are their problems?
No.

Is he aware you're discussing his private matter with total strangers on the internet? Would you like people to do that to you on your domestic affairs?

From the video, Reno was the attacker.

Another propaganda loading...
Your comment is upside down. The attacker is the black guy with the hat on, the white guy is Deno's bodyguard that prevented the paid attacker from getting to Dino.

To think that earlier today this criminal was Among those who was talking about making Nigeria better and promising to get rid of APC...
That he defaulted on his loan payments does not mean he's criminal. He may have acquired the properties from the loans with hopes of servicing the loans from the earnings from the properties and it didn't work out according to his plans, that doesn't mean he's a criminal.

Some airlines went bankrupt and AMCON took them over, does that mean they're criminals too cos their projections failed?

Time for Nigerian Muslims whose are abusing the western countries to start migrating to Afghanistan.

You'll never see any of these Nigerian Muslims dream of settling in any islamic country but their dreamed land is any of the western countries.

Even the fanatic norther elites dare not educate their kids in the islamic countries but you'll see them sitting in their war-torn north instigating their blind footsoldiers against western dominance.
I wish that MURIC guy can move to Afghanistan now.

Nigeria is the most stupid, backward country on this earth.
You are right. The other day, someone stole our landlords favorite cap, police didn't even do anything about it. What's the difference between his cap and this crown na?

michlins:
if you people have a single idea of what the CIA is capable of doing. Some of their attrocities are do bad they don't allow it in USA soil. Guantanamo bay prison is one of them. Nigeria needs DSS more than ever.


Internet has given fools opinion to discuss what is beyond their understanding.

You people should kindly stick to discussing romance and leave security to people who have the balls to handle security. This is how police were destabilized and thieves steal in broad daylight now in my town
If you can't cite one example of when and where CIA did such an armature job DSS did that is below standards of any undercover operation globally, pls stay quiet. Even the international communities that saw how the videos call it simply barbaric. CIA that you mentioned is a thousand years more civilized and calculated than that.

That you know how the vigilante on your street operate doesn't mean you know anything about security. Vigilantes would have done a better job than dragging corpses of innocent people, leaving blood trails all over the place.

And pls first call yourself a fool before calling others one. Bye.

DSS the not law abiding govt security outfit
Correct. The fool that wrote the article called them "professional". Professional my foot.

How does any professional outfit anywhere in the world show up at someone's home at 1am and start shooting at cars, killing two unarmed citizens, taking their bodies with them, locking up 12 others for around a month without any charge against them when the constitution says otherwise?

Professional organizations don't deprive inmates access to their lawyers, that's a no no in any sane country. Nigeria is insane, and led by insane people that's why they can do that. Professional organizations don't feed inmates "engine oil" and still deprive them medical attention. Professional organizations don't show up in court with no idea of how many people they arrested versus presented in court. How can you arraign 12 people, lying that they were in a shootout with you and suddenly say it's only 3 people as if everyone watching your lies are blind and dumb?

Professional organizations dont go to people homes, remove their CCTV cameras and all evidences and plant guns and ammunition in their homes, expecting to apply "word of mouth" as evidence knowing fully well nobody believes them and their lies anymore and they will be asked for the CCTV evidence they stole.

Professional organizations don't steal from their suspects and only declare change while keeping the rest to themselves. Possible video evidence also stolen by them? Where in the world is that done?

I really wish the next administration comes and scrutinize each of their operations because many of them including their errand boys don't deserve a space in any society from their misuse of power.

DSS has paid this one to say something good about them. Wait till they kidnap and torture his mother, father, wife or children, he will be back here saying the opposite of this nonsense he just wrote. Glorifying rubbish because they have paid him.

Guyman02:
As long as Fulanis control power at the centre Britain will always support them, they don't really want a prosperous Nigeria just like America don't want to see a prosperous Haiti
Yup! They already know the easiest way to control and continue reaping from Nigeria is to start from and empower the barbaric ones.

Support barbaric ones in power, they'll do things upside-down against standard norms and use that as a weapon. It's a strategic approach to subside a portion of a populace without any bloodshed nor media brouhaha.

They love it that way, as the barbaric ones are hell bent on suppressing and keeping the civilized ones under their barbaric roof.

Yes, the intent is in creating enemies from within; an indirect replica to their good old colonial era. No one has yet forgotten slavery and colonization went through same paths. Not us. History thought us much.

We all understand the game they're playing; none of us today think like them in the Kunta Kinte days.

Enlighten me, bro. What is he being tried for in a Benin Republic court?
He's being tried for the extradition order the Nigerian FG filed against him, not using any fake travel document.

Also, all his family members are based in Germany, contrary to what the OP is saying that he should have moved them since long ago. The only wife he was arrested with only came visiting when his house was attacked on July 1.

She was among those originally taken by DSS and released along with some others on their way. OP sounded like he hasn't been reading the news at all. Must everyone be a blogger?
Even the dumb ones too?
