If u know what Pandora is u will never bring it up.

Investing in tax haven isn't a crime any where and there is no law in Nigeria that says it is a crime. It becomes a crime if u don't declare it in ur asset declaration form with the Nigerian govt either as public servant or a civil servant.

I repeat,don't ever say this in public if not u would sound like someone who is educationally imbalanced.

I am speaking as former banker. Read below for proper understanding and after that, tell yourself that poverty of knowledge is crime.

[b]Investing in a tax haven is not inherently a crime; its legality depends on the specific actions taken and compliance with the laws of one's home country. The key distinction is between legal tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion.

Key Distinctions
Tax Avoidance (Legal): This involves using legal methods and loopholes within the regulatory framework to minimize tax liability. This can include establishing subsidiary companies in low-tax jurisdictions and routing profits through these entities, provided all activities are properly documented and within the bounds of the law.
Tax Evasion (Illegal/Criminal): This involves using illegal methods to deliberately hide income, assets, or misrepresent financial information to evade taxes. Examples include:
Failing to declare foreign bank accounts or income to your home country's tax authorities.
Creating anonymous accounts to obscure the true source or ownership of funds.
Fraudulently reducing tax liability through intentional misrepresentation.

Per the bolded, am not even educationally balanced sef.

Wherever you copied and pasted this from, shame on them as it is a poor defence.

He didn't "invest in tax haven" (sic), he hid money under his children's name in a foreign country to avoid paying tax.

He is a tax dodger who claimed he didn't realise he was flouting tax laws when questioned but till today, still hasn't rectified it.

He wants to rule Nigerians, yet he doesn't want to fulfil his Nigerian tax commitments, yet you Obidients will still try and make him out to be a saint, which he clearly isn't.

Thankfully, we all now realise his tax evasion history and as Nigerians, we are not about to forgive or forget it when we go to the polls next year.

Congratulations on being a former banker, sadly that is not something that impresses me.

ibechris:
Still the most credible fellow.

Do u know what it means to be a former governor and yet no-one can say whether in the past or present that this good man stole money any where.

His records are watertight and indisputable unlike the drug lord of the aziza Republic who has brought reputaional damage to the nation.

Obi anytime,anyday.

Peter Obi is in Pandora papers, a worldwide expose on corrupt politicians worldwide.

Rest, he is not a Saint.

ChiefOloye:
Though you may sound silly, that will not stop me from educating you. For your information, the Igbos did not reject Olu Falae or Ojukwu because they chose competence over mediocrity. Rather, they chose the PDP and stuck with it for about 23 years. They only left the PDP in 2023 and moved to what some call “PDP-lite” (LP) because they genuinely felt it was their turn to produce the President, and the PDP seemingly wanted to deny them that opportunity.
What empirical evidence do you have to prove that Obasanjo was more competent than Falae or Ojukwu?

And this, my friends, is the truth.

The sad thing is PDP didn't care about Ndigbo enough to, just once, give them their Presidential candidacy despite Ndigbo's fervent support.

My hope is APGA will jump in bed with APC and Prof Soludo will get the Presidential ticket once a Northerner has done their 8 years.

🎼 Don't cry for Us hateful Obidents, the Truth is you never loved Us, all through your wild Days and mad existence, you never loved Us, so keep on wailing 🎼...............

The remix of Madonna's hit, For the Obidents/wailing wailers crying profusely all over this thread. They've started to wake up to Reality that PBAT has already won next years elections and coming up with so many silly posts to cope and hide their pains. Better save your tears cos the results will make you cry blood,many of you Obidents will runaway from NL and social media after the results are announced like AMINDA did after FCT elections results came out

I still don't understand how they ever thought their hateful style of politics would ever have succeeded in a place like Nigeria.

Cmanforall:
Why ?

He has the support of rabid people from his region whose lack of respect for others have effective shrunk his support to his tribe.

No Southerner can rule this country backed by only their tribe.

Guys! Believe this story or not. Till date it still feels unreal to me.
It was back in September 2008, on the 10th which was my 28th birthday. 2 weeks earlier I just got myself an apartment in Okokomaiko area of Lagos where I actually grew up.
I had been staying with mumsie and my siblings in Iyana Iba of Ojo area of Lagos since 2006 when I returned back from Benin.
Bcus I am new in my new apartment and area and haven't made friends. I always go to Ojo after my close from work to see my friends there and also my family.
.
So on this particular day which was my birthday, I quickly close from work. I was a bus driver and independent, I can close anytime I like. Went to friends in the afternoon to have some few drinks for my birthday. Later in the evening, I went to my family home and we celebrated together. I left them around 9pm and headed for home.
I didn't have appetite for food again but I needed to eat something, so I branch off at one Ghana woman opposite Ojo local govt sectariat selling foods. I bought one full chicken lap that was really curved like a gun.
I intend on eating it at home with one bottle of beer and just sleep off.
.
So the woman wrapped the fried chicken inside a black nylon and I put inside the side pocket of the combat short knicker I was wearing and headed for home. My bus stop was Cassidy bus stop of Okokomaiko. Anybody who knows that bus stop back then, knows how dangerous it was. It's not far from PPL and Alaba Rago which are also dangerous black spots. So I got to the bus stop by 9:45pm and began walking home.
There was a lonely long stretch part that leads to Ago Hausa/Ago Tapa my area.
At the middle of the dark part, I heard a voice behind saying I should stop and not turn.
I felt something pointed at my back like the tip of a gun, iron or whatever I can't think of at that moment.
.
The voice spoke in Yoruba that I should summit everything with me. I responded with shaky voice that he should calm down that I will comply.
With me was 8k at my back pocket, a Nokia 95 China phone that I just bought for 10k then at the side of one of my combat pocket and the wrap chicken inside a black nylon at the other pocket.
While the guy or robber was yelling I shouldn't waste his time, I dip my hand inside one of the pockets and it was the one the chicken lap was. I didn't know the kind of morale and belief that came into me. I just found myself brought out the chicken wrap with nylon and holding the leg side. I quickly spun around and pointed it to the guy inside darkness and said in Yoruba language "ogbeni, aja o'kin je aja. Mo'sese nbo lati ibi ise temi, ma show ara re o" meaning, ogbeni dog no dey chop dog. Me wey just dey come back from my own robbery, you wan come show yourself.
I was doing and saying this things with my heart beating heavily. If not for darkness the idiot would have seen my apprehension, I guess he thought I was holding a real gun, or he too wasn't holding a real gun or anything close to it.
.
Cus the moment I did that and talked back to him, he moved backward, raised his two hands and was hailing me.
"Tuwale baba, e ba ti sope ogbologbo leyin na"
Meaning, tuwale sir. You would have told me we are one.
Immediately he said this, he turned back and ran towards where he was coming from, me too ran towards my own direction and never looked back till I got to my house panting really hard and wondering what just happened and what I did.
After I have felt relaxed and thought about the whole thing again, I just burst into a serious laugh.
The next day I told my friends in Ojo and family what happened, they too felt amused and told me I was somehow lucky. That maybe the guy isn't holding real gun that's why.
I agree with them and just laugh it off.
But my mum warn me not to try pulling such stunt again.
.
Till date, that's one episode of my life that anytime I rmbr it, I just smile.

Baba nor try am again ó, if di guy had a real gun, dem for kpai you over nutin.

Just hand over every single thing you have next time please.

I have been lucky that I have lived in some bad cities like Lagos and Benin and not once have I heard armed robbers operating or had an incident happen to my person.

When I was younger, I was fearless and had no problems going through nook and crannies. Baba God thank you ó.

It is a nonsense. These things don't work and the sooner people get over that mindset the better.

Nwaikpe:
I never take any person with that hairstyle seriously in life.

I don't know how someone will wake up and decide that keeping his hair a dirty, ragged, and scattered look is the new style.
Furthermore, others call it dreads when it's longer.
I mean, how?
These are things we first clean off the body of a mentally deranged person when we want to take them off the streets. We first shave such "dreads" from them.
Yet, the same dread is a style.

"Woke" is truly a disease.
That is why the guys who keep such hair are very much prone to crime.

Per the bolded, what has "woke" got to do with hairstyle?

I myself don't understand why boys have a fascination for dreads, twists and these kind of hairstyles but that has nothing to do with a propensity for commiting crimes.

It would have been great if he'd expanded on this as accusations like this one are very serious and should carry a jail term if not proven.

Nothing wrong with having a high and healthy regard of one's self but this particular allegation is preposterous.

This is also a blatant flouting of campaigning laws, INEC is the one that should determine when campaigning should start, not people hiding under charitable causes to do political campaigns.

givedemwotowoto:
This post is a direct rejoinder to Regional Distribution Of Votes In The 2023 Presidential Election which (from the comments section) attempts to portray the South East as voting along tribal lines. It's election season again and the ethnic jingoists have once again resorted to politics of tribal dog whistle.

OK It wasn't tribal, you just voted for the candidates based on how well they could speak Igbo.

You yourself know it was. Bikonu rest.

This is what Obidients don't know about President Tinubu, he has the capacity for forgiveness and a long term vision.

This is why he is an ultimate Nigerian politician.

How is this news, we all know APGA and APC have a strong relationship under the hood.

This APC sha, they know this is the best chance of an I road into Aligbo and have locked it down immediately.

Meanwhile, ordinary on line registration portal, ADC cannot but the required add ons to make it secure and worth using. They just got the basic package.

The Yoruba people need to understand that Kanu was never against them, he told them the truth because he wanted them to be free as many of what he predicated years ago is happening now..... Nnamdi Kanu's message continues to resonate loud....

That's why he abused any Ndigbo that went to a 'Yoruba' church and threatened Yoruba GO's from stepping into Aligbo, àbi!

Sunday Igboho was never taken seriously by Ndi Yoruba anyway. Nìdí Yoruba are abot more sensible than some that will see and arrant illiterate rabble rouser and take them seriously.

blamingthedevil:
Wait o, Atiku held a meeting with ADC leaders and stakeholders from the South East recently and Peter Obi did not attend 😌😯

Obidents, AA is taking the lead on OUR SAINT’s stronghold o

E sure me say, PO won’t come 2nd in ADC primaries 😆

source

They just want PeterObi in ADC to stop him setting up his own campaign for as long as possible as he is the one to split their votes like he did last time when Atiku ran in PDP and he in LP.

While he has hope that there's anything for him at ADC, time is going, by the time Atiku and Amaechi get the ticket and he runs away crying to another party, valuable time has been lost and he won't be able to build anyehere near the momentum he did like last time.

Anyway, wetin concern Peter Obi with anything South East, oga is only interested in Benin now, when Atiku goes to Benin to meet and greet ADC people there, you will see Peter Obi at the front and centre.

Sọ pe otilọ.

It was very shameful for us to be dragging qualification off the field with Congo.

Now we can sit back and enjoy Ghana disgracing themselves in the World Cup again.

AMINDA:
We now know who was sponsoring him all through Buhari’s tenure. Why is Nnamdi Kanu in prison while Igboho is walking free?

Because Ndi Yoruba are sophisticated, they know how to operate in the backgroind and are not noise makers and chest beaters like some.

Igboho and Kanu are the same with their fake tribal emancipation BS, in fact Igboho actually kpaid Fulanis, but when you are big boy tribes like Fulani and Yoruba, you can do as you please. Hopefully karma will touch him.

Are you saying she's not beautiful enough to be showcased?

You're angry at Obidients over a video interview she granted to showcase her style?

Nor màtá, dem go soon showcase Oseloka too, sha nor cry wen dem do.

Tinubu's daughter was spotted dressed in oversized clothing for the Men's wear celebration in London. She also did a 180 for the camera to showcase the uniqueness of her clothing choice.

Oga Obidient, you dey showcase President Tinubu daughter now ó, wen dem take Oseloka pikshure now, una go wan kpai pipo.

If you were to present one person from your heart, as a person that loves your country and want the best for it, not being tribalistic or sentimental, who do you think will make the best President for Nigeria?

Anyone that will make Obidients cry so President Tinubu, Prof Soludo or Akpakosaviour.

Nice one ADC, we can see uná Ndi Fulani parapọ agenda agending.

So we shouldn't arrest any Northerner who misbehaves àbi? Ndi Fulani who mess up must be untouchable,

ADC, thunder fire Una yansh.

...These editors in chief dont know politicians.

Gun attack that can be staged to get a pity support from the gullible mass.

By the way,no one else can benefit from OBI death than ATIKU and AMEACHI!

They do know politicians but Vanguard has decided to jettison any pretence of being a political as they are fully on the Obidient bandwagon.

It clearly was staged as gunmen in Benin don't follow you then wait till you enter a compound and run inside before spraying bullets at the empty car.

This is not the first time ADC in Edo state are crying wolf, apparently someone tried to burn down their secretariat but no one was around to report to the police when it was happening.

That is two incidents that people have allegedly caused them harm and no one knows or saw anything. No CCTV nothing.

Ẹ pá Oyegun has no CCTV on his house, a former governor àbi?

To those Obidients claiming he removed it, you are wrong, President Buhari effectively removed it by not making provisions for it in the budget and President Tinubu announced it.

He did agree with the policy as it was right and proper, guess who also would have done the same, yup Peter Obi. However, that didn't stop hypocritical Obidients from abusing the President for doing something sensible that thieving PDP, now ADC, governments didn't care to put a stop to.

Why would you start a business and expect the government to be paying you a fortune for running it over and over again. Only in Nigeria sha would people complain that the government was wrong to be giving private enterprises money yanfu yanfu.

Thank you Prof, this is the style of governance that should be replicated all over Aligbo instead of all the ones where we see IPOB baring their fans over elected authority.

Anyone that cowardly and lazily refuses to go to work on a Monday because they are used to working 4 day weeks and being paid on full should change their mindset moving forward.

By the way Prof, you need to bring your talent to Aso rock to rule this great country of ours, sooner rather than later.

There is an element of truth in what she is saying even though every single marraige is unique and what works for couples are different.

Whilst some men are unrependant adulterers or wife beaters and have no place in relationships never mind marraiges, majority of men can be controlled by their women/wives and easily too.

The problem is women of a certain generation seem to think they are being dominated and are fighting wars that don't exist in their home. Some also have evil friends who will be urging them on to fight these batlles, battles that these evil women daren't fight themselves in their own home.

Ndi "electronic" everything in Nigeria elections, hope you can see how easy it is to cause mayhem with information in the cloud, both static and in-flight?

Some silly Obidient was arguing with me the other day that Cloud providers can't see data that their customers put on their servers.

Israel probably didn't hack nada, they were given access to Ayatollah's security team video streaming information by the cloud provider.

Where are the "they wanted to teach Peter Obí a lesson" people if this has happened in a ADC state?

Thankfully no lives were lost, hopefully the owner can get some recompense from somewhere, Insurance companies will call it a an act of God and most likely will refuse to pay.

I look forward to the counter thread by Obidients showing the progress Peter Obi's commissioners have made in their political careers.

Oya ó, Obidients bia.

I genuinely don't understand, should politicians not prep for elections next year again because of banditry?

Where is the sense in this outburst?
