Politics › Re: Ndume To Tinubu: I Don't Mind If You Act Like A Dictator, Dissolve PENGASSAN by Basicend:
Hmm. Ndume is a voice of the rich northern cabals that are fronting Dangote. He is also very unstable.

Tinubu needs to be careful with him. We have trade union act within the constitution.

How can one single individual acquire 4,000 brand new trucks in this same Nigeria. I saw them with my eyes last two weeks.

Not Benz o, not brand new cars. When majority Nigerians cannot afford a brand new car currently.

I learnt his ultimate plan is to purchase 10,000 for fuel distribution. The Union saw what is coming.

This is just one of Dangote's several companies. So how mighty is this man? Don't tell me these funds came from just bank loans and business proceeds. Haba.

Justdare:
You are technically correct buy why didn't Trump's mic go off after exceeding his alloted 15mins? He went on to 56 mins. Ramaphosa deservered an equal weight in respect. The UN is supposed to be a league of equal Nations
@the bolded. Countries are not the same in weight, importance and respect.

South Africa's leader jumps forward often a lot, and they are not where they are trying to claim as a voice.

Even amongst men, men are not same. You and Dangote are not the same. The weight of UN's budget is significantly carried by USA and China.

The last time the reserve was depleted was during Jonathan regime.

When oil was at the highest, still he messed up.
I know of lots of people that are still earning less than N35,000 currently in Lagos.

While the price of a sliced bread can be N3,500, Sandine 2k, don't even talk of milk and others. Yet accomodation, school fees prices are skyrocketing. . Yet the leader does seem to care, by continuously dishing out more taxing and wicked policies.

Those are the phones that are being dispalyed in Computer Village, Ikeja, as "London-used phones".

I always encourage people to try and buy new gadgets, especially phones, no matter the size of your budget.

It saves you a lot of issues.

This drama queen will go on another suspension very soon.

This time, it will be 1 year.

She called herself a lawyer and law maker, if she has an evidence to her claims, should present it to Nigeria, otherwise, she needs to shut up.

Nigeria has been quietly progressing and kept off distractions and childish drama since she was suspended.

casdoruche:
I always thank God I was born a Christian

Jews hate Christian’s
Yes I know

But Jews don’t send suicide bombers

I wonder why slamming people just have a soft spot for Islamic terrorist

All of them do

Even traditional worshippers don’t kill people for religion if you mind your business.
The core charge (aim) of Islam is to conquer the world by force or violence. They pray to achieve the aim. Most Muslims understand this, and hide it in deepest place of their heart.

The charge given by Jesus to spread Christianity is by preaching His Word to the entire world tru prayer and showing forth of his fruits.

Any one under these two religion will follow the path of the founder, either forcefully or otherwise.

That's what President Trump was trying to make clear with the issue on uncontrolled co-existence and migration.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Lincoln City Vs Chelsea: EFL Cup (1 - 2) On 23rd September 2025 by Basicend:
Angelfrost:
I don't know which is worse...


That these clowns are losing to a lowly Lincoln team or that they didn't even have a shot on target for over 45 minutes.

Chelsea will more than likely win this game, but Maresca's days are seriously getting numbered.
Chelsea did well at the beginning of the last transfer window but messed up towards the end.

They have been using Jao Pedro as no. 9 or no. 10 at times. Palmer is having groin now, so God forbid, if Jao Pedro gets injured, they have to use George, Guiu etc.

Now that they are playing UCL, it's squad depth that will undermine their chances. Their CDM area plus that Sanchez should have been addressed if they want to compete for EPL.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Lincoln City Vs Chelsea: EFL Cup (1 - 2) On 23rd September 2025 by Basicend: 8:41pm On Sep 23, 2025
Last year, Chelsea had Mudrick, Nkunku, Jao Felix, Sancho etc to play this kind of games as Team B.

But now, they have Gittens, Giui, George, Gernacho, Bouninette. . Abi what's his name self.

Their approach initially was buying the best young players all over the world, but now they just go to Brighton.

Maresca / Chelsea board will have themselves to blame.

* They also seem to be under a curse since they bought Gernacho. They guy breeds bad luck.

Even me, it better I earn 100k in UK and I pay 50k tax because I will definitely see what I'm paying for, than paying it in Nigeria where it will be looted for their unborn generation
You have said just exactly what the situation will be. The monies will be milked from the hands of the poor and legitimately struggling ones and diverted to the over-fed politicians to squander away as usual.

You better fight for yourselves.

This tax thing will cause serious issue in Nigeria by next year.

The guys involved here are even oil and gas workers who are relatively richer than most citizens.

By time the real struggling Nigerians especially business owners and end-price consumers begin to feel the weight of Tinubu's law, I hope serious uprising will not occur.

Nigeria needs a reset.

The very annoying and obvious thing is that the collective monies and wipped off the hands of suffering people are handed over to governors and politicians who keeps buying properties in UAE, US etc. So sad.
Christianity Etc › Re: Some Pastors In RCCG Don’t Know My Father Is The Founder Of The Church- Daughter by Basicend:
Paul planted the seeds . Apollos watered, God gives the increase.

RCCG does not belong to your father ma, neither does it belong to Pa E.A Adeboye.

If your father had not followed divine instruction, it will be where it is today. Also if Adeboye had not tried his best to align to God, it will not be where it is globally.

Both were just used in their specific positions to achieve God's aim.

Just thank God for having such a father and live your life to please God.
Business › Re: Dangote Begins Free Fuel Deliveries To Marketers by Basicend:
Hmm. I pity the Ajah / Lekki express highway. I just hope this does not further escalate the traffic issues on that road.

Movements should be specified for off-peak hours only.

I saw when those trucks arrived in the night last week. They were so much. I don't even understand how this man gets that kind of fund. He is obviously fronting for politicians. The gap between Danagote and other Nigerians is too much.

By time CNG prices sky rocket to the roof, hope Baba Danagote will still be doing free delivery.

It's only a very serious lion that can survive Nigerian business climate currently.
Politics › Re: The New Tax Law Will Change Your Relationship by Basicend:
tpain121:
Complince check abi ? So what’s with the 15% and income bracket they have been talking about?
A compliance check will enable the tax authority to verify ur transactions and receipts, hence profit.

Only profits should be identified as taxable for income tax.

15% tax will only apply to corporates within the income bracket of N800,001 - N3,000,000. It will be the lowest tax rate for corporate entities.

I am not a Tax specialist or member of the government o.

Kindly read up on the details of the law online.

So 18% will automatically be deducted from the #5m which is around #800k even though i didn't even make up to #800k at the end of the contract job does that make any sense to you? huh
Check my message well, it is your profit on that contract that is taxable. Okay?

Take ur time and check for the provisions of the law.

Mrexcell:
So if I received #5m within a month for a contract job I will execute my bank will then report my account to the tax authorities without caring to know what's going to be my profit from the #5m contract job?
Yes sir.

The N5m is an income (profit) to you, and will be taxed accordingly. Rate of the amount involved shld be 18%.

Truth is most business are currently struggling. The govt needs to continue to work towards Naira valuation in particular to ease the pressure and suffering of the people.

Tinubu became very rich tru taxing Lagos. Now he intends to become far richer by taxing the entire nation to the teeth. Good luck.
Politics › Re: The New Tax Law Will Change Your Relationship by Basicend:
Mrexcell:
This new tinibu's tax law might just end up being what will finally break the camel's back and cause the much overdue revolution in nigeria. Imagine paying taxes for money you received into your account without any questions of what the money is really meant for, wether it's for mobilisation for a project you got, business transactions or for rents you received from ur tenants tinibu don't care.
Lol. Bro, it's well.

The new tax law will not authorize any bank to deduct 20% or any percentage from monies tranferred to an account.

However, people with incomes of N5m and above in a month will be flagged to tax authorities for compliance check. Same applies with corporates with N100m and above within a month.

That is why Tinubu emphasized on tax IDs for collective tracking. It is well.

Govt need to be more concerned about the welfare and standard of living of it's people by being very accountable. People are already suffering extremely.

Chelsea might feel more driven to prove themselves and upset expectations again.
They (Chelsea) have a better team than Bayern.

Chelsea won the CWC not by fluke, they were a very good team.

However, they fumbled towards the end of last transfer window by signing average players. That's why they don't have game changers in the bench currently. Apart from the Brazilian Estavao.

They will get a win or draw at worst in Germany tonight.
Christianity Etc › Re: Elijah Fled From Jezebel Despite His Great Anointing! Many Lessons To Learn! by Basicend:

There is no lesson there.

He fled from the government in power.

No matter how powerful your Daddy G.O may claim, Tinubu can render him useless by a single pronouncement. We witnessed how churches and mosques were shut down by government during covid and heavens didn't fall.

A case study is in Anambra state. Three notorious babalawos are languishing in detention for months now. All their powers failed them against the government. Go figure!

The only thing religion propagates is FEAR to keep people in check.

/
That is not correct sir.

Every govt is significantly influenced by an alter. It's a battle of alters.

The core purpose of Elijah's calling (among others) was to establish the reign of the alter of God by eventually influencing the government of the land tru the King.

Elijah was unable to understand or fulfil that essence unfotunately.

The anointing is only made available to a man if the man continues to engage it's purpose, otherwise, it will be taken away.

God anointed Elisha to continue the essence of that anointing. You will observe that Elisha had so much control over the king that the king always refer to him as "My Father".

Prophet Samuel was controlling the Kings in his time and many others. A king is supposed to submit to a true prophet of the Lord for checks. That's the way God balances it.

If God raises a mighty prophet, and his hands are continuously clean, he will have influence over the govt. It happened severaly in American history and even here in Nigeria severally.

rowland545:
Y didn't he pray to God to burn jezebel with fire? This goes to show how using your God giving sense works ..he knew he was in danger instead of staying and firing prayer he ran to safety....if as a Christian u dont use your sense u r a foolish person and u cant blame God if things happen to you
What you said is exactly the issue God had with him.

However, spiritual battles of that magnitude are very tense my brother. It comes tru intense prayers and fasting. So calling the great man of God foolish in this context may be harsh.

In fact, God did not rebuke him (like he did to Moses), he just subtly sacked him instantly and replaced him gently. That is because he had worked much for God, and must be rewarded and the glory of God must still be preserved before the eyes of the people.

You will notice that both Elijah and Moses did not die physically like everyone of us. Their departures were secretly handled by God himself.
Christianity Etc › Re: Elijah Fled From Jezebel Despite His Great Anointing! Many Lessons To Learn! by Basicend:
BreconHills:
Jezebel was not only wicked and occultic she had the power of the political state behind her. A state shaped by immorality, intrigue and violence.

She was an exceptionally dangerous woman. Their are few modern equivalents. Even those Queen of the coast ruling over some politicians do not have official state power.

Fleeing foreshadowed the advice of the Lord

"When you are persecuted in one town, flee to the next..." Matthew 10:23

My point being that fleeing evil is not a sign of spiritual weakness. Context is important.
Not actually; The fleeing is an error in God's eyes.

A general of Gods' charge is not suppose to drop in faith. Without faith, you cant do anything significant with God.

He fled because he felt he was alone is the battle and Jezebel would increase the velocity of attacks against him next time.

Kindly note:

It is not God's will that Elijah should flee the scene at the crux of the battle for God's revival.

He demonstrated lack of faith in the God that had rained down raw fire before him to consume an alter and the king's soldiers more than once.

That was why God corrected his error to him first (I have 7,000 that has not defiled themselves) before sacking him on the mount and asked him to go and anoint Elisha as a new prophet in his chamber.

The youth / school system in the US has really been messed up by leftie ideologies. Many of those young kids and teenagers are gradually becoming perverts / strange mutants which will be so dangerous to the society in a long run.

They killed this moralist soldier because he kept contending with demonic ideas.

I cant send my kids to a school in the US currently.

I pray the environment is gradually sanitized after the death of Kirk.

After his death, his movement should ignite a serious flame.

Chelsea / Maresca are not yet ready to win EPL with Sanchez as goalie. Maresca prefers an average ball playing keeper than a good ball stopper. So it's his choice.

Selling Madueke and buying Gittens is a step down. That side is the only weak area in their attack.

If Jao Pedro gets injured, who steps in as 9? Giui is not a Chelsea standard.

Since they refused to sign Xavi Simmons, they cld go all out for a very player like Fermin Lopez in January. They need him to compete with likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.

Check the likes of players that Liverpool and Arsenal signed. Those are statements of high intent.

Yes, Chelsea made lost of profit in the last window, but on the field, they have to push a little more.

I believe Liverpool or Arsenal will win the league this season based on 1 major factor, which is squad depth.

Chelsea play very impressive football, but messed things up little towards the end of the transfer window. They should have kept Jackson or buy a standby reliable striker. Another central defender cld have been added too.

City is off form now. For now, it seems Pep is experiencing the law of diminishing return.

Reality is that Nigeria is poor now. Thanks to it's leaders. Just few years ago, Nigeria was the glory king of Africa.

We were referred to as a wealthy nation and the golden crown of the continent.

Now, we are even wrestling with likes of Morocco, Ethiopia etc in GDP index.

We had a Buhari, and now the current king.
