They don't have to move their headquarters if they don't want to.

The states in question should come up with a tax called Offshore Headquarters Tax.

So a simple law is enacted that says if you are an extractive company, you should have your headquarters located at least 200km from your highest concentration of extractive activity.

Now if you don't want to comply, it isn't a crime. You just have to pay the Offshore Headquarters Tax which should be minimum 20% of profits from extractive activity.

And they would erect a bungalow and call it the head quarters, what then would you do? Start appointing MD for them?
Shell has had its HQ port Harcourt since forever, what changed?

OP
You do a video for future reference. They would pressure LASG to remove that field completely.

leanalyst:
It is npt irrelevant my friend. What example is he setting for his subordinates? Tomorrow if an a police man refuses to wear his uniform on duty and he is punished, he can feel aggrieved and sue, citung thus as an example of why the uniform isnt importanat.

Col Ali is NOT a customs officer, so your example doesn't fly.

The person who employed him didn't force him to wear the uniform so why is the National Assembly making noise about something irrelevant.

cr8v:
In the write up I explained why I think the the two are not unconnected but doctored by the same APC

The Apostle's lawyer claimed the girl had links with Boko Haram and they planned to kill him....How does that concern the APC? Let me repeat, the Apostle's lawyer said the "stripper in Canada had links with Boko Haram and they planned to kill the Apostle". Read that slowly and realise how ridiculous it sounds.

cr8v:
It was a transcript of his interview we heard, there may be typographical error, also some people are not good with dates and math

Or the interview was a sham by the apostle and his team.

cr8v:
And he explained the reason, she claimed she wanted to quit stripping and start a business which he wanted to help her do same. As a believer, I have also helped a lot of people who wanted to quit drugs or get a job, would you conclude I did all that for ulterior motives? common, reason it. Even Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead because he was close to the sisters. Not that he was making any demand from the sisters

He also claimed El Rufai would not be governor, GEJ would win the election and so many fake prophecies.... Frankly the words coming out of his mouth need to be verified before they can be taken as truth.




PS: David, a man after God's heart fell to temptation, but to Nigerian Christians a person who gives himself the title of Bishop, Pastor e.t.c cannot fall.

dupyshoo:
I think so. I made the statement cos most of the people that did not get their PPR within 6 months had worked with government or military before. They made enquiries and realised that it was security checks that delayed their applications cos they had to do further security checks on them. I am guessing maybe to ensure they are not government spies.

Please note that, I am not saying this was the case for everyone that had ever worked with government. It also depends on where your application is processed and your country of residence. Most of the people that fell victim of this had their application processed in Ottawa. Some of them have waited for over a year and are still waiting.

Do you by chance know what the security checks entails?

cr8v:
MANY REASONS TO PROVE THE ALLEGATION FALSE
Except you are one of those gullible, Nigerians if not any intelligent individual can poke many holes in her story

1. Her Fathers Denial
In her video, she said her father knows about the incident and marriage, an involvement the father has distanced himself from in an interview

2. The timing
Exactly when Suleiman was at the eye of the storm for his alleged threat to fulani herdsmen. A cursory look at the development shows that they started beeing on his trail from when he prophesied death on El Rufai, the plot started then. To the APC (who won election by media mind-control mechanism) the best way to bring a moral figure down is to link him with immorality. I believe they hired the lady hence Suleiman's accusation that she is linked to Boko Haram. Have you ever asked yourself how she got the direct line of Apostle Suleiman.

3. Apostle Suleimans reason for marrying her
She said he needed more male children. When did Nigerians become so daft to believe this story. If that be the reason Suleiman needed her, there are many other decent women he would have desired for them to become the mother of his children. Moreso the pastor already has a male child so is not so desperate to the point of dating whoever cometh. The pastor is too educated for me to believe he has such believe that marrying her is license to male children. Even a little Biology class in secondary school is enough to cancel that outdated African believe

4. The photoless and videoless relationship
the only thing she showed was a graphically concocted screenshot. if she can be so keen to grab the screenshot, it means she had an agenda and a chance meeting of both would have resulted to multiple photos and video evidences. Thats why I believe she was sent on a mission but when the pastor refused a physical meeting, she resorted to unending demands or blackmail threat.

5. Pastor Suleimans vocal stance
he did not just keep queit in the face of the storm or promise a robust reply, he was not afraid of the dirty secrets spilling out and discrediting him. A guilty conscience would have been afraid of how far his/her opponent will go to release his secrets. He maintained from day 1 that he has never met her physically and dared Keyamo to release the videos. What gave him that confidence in a multimedia age where a camera is just a pocket away if not that he is too sure of himself. I am actually disappointed that Keyamo went this low.

6. The wife vs Stephanie: A comparative look
When you see the beautiful and intelligent woman he married, you would know his spec and what he can fall for as a partner. Otobo is no where near his wife in all ramifications. In fact she is a direct opposite. If she has the Ese Walters look and swag it would even be understandable why the temptation was so strong. but for Stephanie, even Suleiman's security guard will not see her nudes as a temptation.

I have heard some major reasons people give for believing the story; one being that Festus Keyamo must have enough evidence before coming out. They forget that even Femi Falana who was a reputed legal icon accused Soludo and felt he had enough evidence until Charles Soludo took his time to educate him out of his ignorance. Unfortunately he hitherto had used the media to advertise his ignorance. We have not heard from him ever since Soludo gave him that lecture

Okpeke's Conclusion. This story is improperly cooked and its dead on arrival. It will end up making the pastor more popular to his advantage. Yes-All things work together for good....

http://okpeke.com

And the Apostle's story that she has links with Boko haram makes sense?
Or the so called father who divorced the girls mother 30 years ago but the girl is in her 20's makes sense?

PS: The Apostle has actually admitted to sending her money.

tosyne2much:
Bro, the story is just so complicated that I find it hard to believe the girl or the apostle

They are both lying.
In my opinion, something went down between the two of them and its either
1) The Apostle said he is not doing again or the Apostle has moved on to the girl's friend. The girl is scorned and wants to take down the Apostle and the Apostle needs to protect his reputation
2) The girl wants to be Apostle's wife but the Apostle like kukere movements. The girl is scorned and we know the rest.



This is my wild guess.

WeNoGoDie:
I don't trust a lot of pastors but many factors seems to make Ms Otobo's claims questionable which people hardly seem to notice:

1. The lady claims there was a kind of introduction/traditional marriage. This is one area her claims flaws greatly. Someone as well known as Pastor Sulaiman cannot do a traditional marriage without it hitting blogs and evening newspapers at least. Someone among the attendees will certainly leak it.

2. Traditional marriage of that caliber must evidently have at least a picture or video.

3. A relationship that intimate as the girl claims should at least have one picture of the two together in loved up postures and not just a snapchat photoshop that says nothing.

4. The girls dad totally denied her claims even when she involved her dad in her video testimony.

5. How come all these things are happening at a time some powerful folks are after the downfall of the pastor.

6. No fake Nigerian pastor will want to divorce his wife and marry a stripper because in an effort to hide their hypocrisy there are certain things they wouldn't publicly do.


All I'm simply saying is that the girls stories do not add up at all. Even when you listen to her video testimony, the way she's stuttering and fumbling and her lack of cordination easily showcases an individual trying hard to arrange lies.

However I always leave a room for doubt if I hear stories like this in case I'm wrong.

The Apostles story also doesn't add up
1) He said the girl is a stripper he met in Canada, he also claimed through his lawyer that the girl is a member of boko haram and they plan to kill him
2) The girls father said he didn't know the girl is in Nigeria yet he found her nude picture on her WhatsApp
3) The girls father also said he divorced the girls mother over 30 years ago but the girl claims to be in her 20's


Neither the girl nor the apostle is saying the truth.

OP are you a member of the Apostle's PR team? If you are then you need to go for more training.
All information from the apostles team is full of contradiction.
1) The lawyer released a statement were he said the girl was a stripper and in that statement said the girl has contacts with Boko haram and they plan to kill the apostle. The lawyer said they have recordings so we are waiting. You should ask yourself how did a Canadian stripper get involved with Boko haram?
2) The so called statement from the girl's father. The father said he didn't know she was in Canada, he divorced the mother 30 years ago but the babe is in her 20's....



When you are in a hole, stop digging.

A Canadian stripper with links to boko haram......


Apostle Weh done sar!!!!

pendusky:
Case Closed!!!!

check out the last paragraph

"Rev. Otobo, who disclosed that his daughter was equally at loggerheads with him at the moment for scolding her two months ago over nude pictures he saw on her whatsapp platform, said he was not surprised at her daughter’s current character, given that she grew up with her mother in Sapele, Delta State, after he divorced her.
He disclosed that he put an end to his marriage to his daughter’s mother about 30 years ago due to her unfaithfulness."

The Father doesn't know his daughter is in Nigeria but he has access to her WhatsApp?
He divorced the mother 30 years ago but the girl is in her 20's?

Am i the only one that thinks the OP is a potential rapist (assuming he hasn't even raped someone yet)?

SalamRushdie:
My friend go and face your Islam and leave we Neo Christians to act as we like...all I know is I am being led by the Spirit of God to act this way ..Two years ago I would have been here calling for the head of apostle Suleman but today I am wiser to know I must defend anything that has any semblance of Christianity in it if Christianity as a religion must triumph over anachronistic religions like Islam

You should be the one to leave Christianity for true Christians. People like you embarrass the body of Christ and Christians like me get to suffer it.

To be a Christian is to be like Christ, anything other thing is a fallacy.

SalamRushdie:
So we should love those that want to see Christianity extinct? If Christianity goes extinct who will be left to show the love to others ...Sorry boss but some of us have to tow this line for the good of Christianity the rest can keep loving

See why i said you aren't a christian? Read Mathew 16: 18.... You cannot fight God's battle and if you truly believe in God, then you would know nothing happens without his approval.

So why don't you obey the God you are fighting for greatest commandment? Abi Jesus didn't know what he was talking about when he uttered those words?

yorhmienerd:
You're very right. I'm not on anybody's side just that when you pick pieces together, you should be able to discern the truth.

Apostle met her in the first place- wrong.

BUT why come out now? Apostle was arrested last month, amidst threath, she came out now. WHY?

They've been dating since 2015, she came out in 2017 to talk.

Why now?

May be the Apostle broke up with her in 2017 so she is scorned
May be the Apostle started threatening her in 2017 so she is afraid..

There are numerous reasons why she is speaking now.


PS: I think both the Apostle and the girl are guilty(if i can use the word guilty).

ismart:
I am not a member of his church neither a staunch christian and hardly go to church...

but I know a lie, a fabrication when I see one. The guy I quoted is always on anything about this allegation against apostle sulieman. Who does that if not that there is something in it for him? Secondly, he denied being a muslim not know his profile says otherwise. 3rdly, why is this coming after the apostle spoke against killing the Southern Kaduna and herdsmen manslaughter ? You need to read the hand writing on the wall...

Anyone who posts in the Islamic section will have that stuff you saw on their profile, so not everyone with that writing is a muslim.

SalamRushdie:
Yes I am a sheep of Christ who will never let any Muslim ridicule my faith because I know better now ...To hell with El Rufai

i'm sorry but you don't know Christ.....

Christ commands his people to love everyone, even those who hate them. Mathew 5: 44, Luke 6: 27, Roman 12: 14, Romans 12: 20.


You are one of those people Jesus was talking about when he said "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will. enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who. does the will of my Father who is in heaven".

yorhmienerd:
I'm not saying the man is right, but it's very obvious that this is blackmail.

Why come out now?

If the so called Apostle had maintained his lane, would anybody blackmail him?.


The bible says flee fornication, the apostle of all people should know that.

ethene:
it's over 30 years u divorced her mother, ur daughter was small when u divorced her mother and ur daughter is twenty something years old. Am I the only one that noticed this incoherent statement?

He saw the daughter's nude picture on the internet through her WhatsApp....

TonyeBarcanista:
Uncle the Igwe case was promotion of a restaurant and it never caused much buzz- much people didn't give damn! It happened in july 2016.... VERY STALE



Meanwhile this particular Buzz started after some bitter feminists took advantage of a lady complaint over the issue that led to collapse of her relationship LAST WEEK!


I always advice young people to always be informed and follow trend so as not to embarrass themselves like you just did.

Learn English, you will not learn, WIFENOTCOOK originated (you should look up that word) from Noble Igwe. That someone else uses that hash tag, doesn't mean it was started by that person.

Sample picture of the wifenotcook hashtag in 2016...... It might not have been big to you because you are ignorant, it doesn't mean it was big then.

TonyeBarcanista:
Nonsense! That is a stale July 2016 gist that was promoting a restaurant. I doubt if you are following trend.

The issue started after a Lady's complaint was posted on FB about her man ditching her for her friend.

Bro, you gotta keep up with events

The Wife not cook hash tag started in 2016 it might have be re ignited but the origin was Noble Igwe.

Acidosis:
Seriously, do people learn anything from extremely young couples who spend a larger part of their short marital lives on Instagram?

Bros i don't have an answer to that question. My own is people should do what pleases them and people should stop telling others what to do. What works for A doesn't work for B.

Acidosis:
Bros, the way to a man's heart is the stomach. Forget any other thing anyone tells you.

Have you ever seen a well built home without a kitchen? Why rent a house with a kitchen if food is not a "problem" in 2017?

Nothing else will work without food, not even S€X.
Any woman that finds it hard to cook for her husband and family should not even think of getting married.

[Any man that equally hates the responsibility of raising a family should not get married; but this thread isn't about men].


I'm really surprised that this issue of food has become something to discuss. It is a norm that should be practised, not condemned. If the wife refuses to cook, who should take that role? The father-in-law? side chick?

I for one don't care if a woman can cook or not. There are certain foods i will only eat if its prepared by me so a woman's cooking skill is of no importance to me.

A woman's play station skills is more important to me than her cooking skills.

TonyeBarcanista:
NOT TRUE!

It was started due to the story of a lady that lost her man to her friend because she couldn't/refused to cook

https://www.bellanaija.com/2016/07/wife-not-cook-noble-igwe-is-a-21st-century-husband-see-his-reply-to-this-concerned-fan/

That's the origin of the hashtag.

@TonyeBarcanista

The hash tag #wifenotcook was started by a man and not women.........get your information right.

It pains me that the problem of grown men in 2017 is food...

Fortissimo502:
You killed your own argument with that. Obviously by the info you were exposed to, you feel what those feminists are proposing is wrong. But by the information they were exposed to, they feel it's right.

So who is truly right? And on what authority does one human impose his or her own version of "rightness" on another human?

One bottle for you.

spartan117:
gej showed incompetence in dat regard but am only trying to point out dat Obama also turned his back on Nigeria 4 reasons best known to him

Obama is not a Nigerian, he has every fucking right to turn his back on Nigeria, He doesn't owe Nigeria anything.

TonyeBarcanista:
@Baby124 you don't have to go personal on Ahnie over her comment. Whatever happens in her home is no business of yours

Isn't this an irony? you open a post telling people what to do in their homes but Baby124 has no business in Ahnie's home?


Didn't you think of that when you were penning down this rubbish?

spartan117:
Then I guess ur intelligence quotient isn't high enough to comprehend d post

Nah, it looks like something put by a 3 year old....
Blaming Obama for GEJ's incompetence? like seriously?

Shym3xx:
- Don't focus on IT which is skilled sector cos only a few people per population are in the field. Focus on the semi-skilled and unskilled sectors - especially the manufacturing and production. Majority of working aged yanks don't have college degrees (I think over 60% of them) and a lot of them need jobs. That's where middle America comes in.

The problem with middle America is technology is taking their jobs e.g the coal workers, while Trump claims the liberals environmental policies took away coal jobs, the reality is that those jobs went because of shale gas... It's the same thing in manufacturing, a robot replaces human workers and then you need highly specialised humans to manage those robots.

Trumps election is similar to Buhari's in the sense that they said what the disenfranchised folks wanted to hear, but we've seen Buhari's reality, Trump and the GOP also know taking Obama care apart isn't as easy as they thought it would be.
It's going to be the same for Trump in all sectors of the country. Being President is a whole lot different from being CEO, and Trump is yet to adjust to the reality.

Shym3xx:
Also, when it comes to foreign policy - he has also been pretty decent, regardless of what anyone says. The first few months of Obama's administration saw a lot of UAV bombings in the different countries. However, Trump hasn't really attacked any country, apart from posturing on what he'll and won't do. That should also be lauded.

He's also trying to create avenues for a lot of US companies to start employing Americans, rather than looking for free cheap labour in other countries.

Evidently, overall, the man hasn't been bad. A lot of folks just tend to follow the popular narrative of liberals who control most news outlets.

1) it's hard to compare Obama's term with Trump because the conditions are different. Obama inherited an almost dead economy with two wars, Trump inherits a wonderful economy with the US not actively in any war.
2) That part of employing Americans with protectionism is gone. Technology has made that almost impossible. Obama spoke with Steve Jobs about making the iPhones in the US and Steve Jobs told Obama those jobs are gone forever. A mid level software engineer in the US would earn an average of say 50k per year, with that money you can hire 3 Nigerians engineers. Also if your jobs require protectionism, you will be replaced by a robot pretty soon.
3) Obama deported more people than any US president but did you hear folks make noise, Obama understand diplomacy Trump doesn't and that would be his biggest problem. As CEO, he could hire and fire at will, as President, you need to be big on diplomacy.


Trump needs to understand that America is not a business..... The government is supposed to protect the weakest ........
