Look, you guys don't know how bad it is for us.

80% of our revenue comes from oil. Let it sink in...80% of our revenue comes from oil. 20% comes from other sources, including tax. Tax does not account for a large amount of our revenue. Add the fact that the oil revenue comes from 1.3m bpd. Not enough for a nation of 5 million.

That is why we should not have voted for tinubu. We should have voted for a leader that would have promoted production, promoted widening the tax base and economic diversificaiton, plus total removal of subsides on power and education.

Subsidy still dey on education...primary and secondary...as well as health and for 80% of consumers of electricity. (those who are not on band A).

The truth is, our government borrows, because to not borrow means they would have to tax the 70% of Nigerians who do not pay taxes, and force every NIgerian to pay premium for electricity, and remove subsides on health and non-teritiary educaiton....and guess what...it means riots.

Tinubu is borrowing because he no wan face reality. Like every Nigerian politican, he takes bad decisions to get elected again and again.
He doesnt have a choice. . How do you continue to tax and country's citizen with $1.1 per capital income at Q4, 2024.

Nigerians are one of the poorest in Africa currently. We are at the base of the ranking now. How much tax do you want to squeeze out of those people again?

The only forward is to fight or undermine corruption in the system, and create alternative revenue stream/s by the side.

Am not sure Tinubu is ready for that sacrifice. So, he will only continue to borrow even to offset reccurent expenditures such as salaries.
Christianity Etc › Re: Was David Abioye Spiritual Prowess Being Stifled Under Oyedepo All These Years? by Basicend:
Dear Writer,

Spiritual authority and depth is earned tru the exact paths that God has put before you.

Skills, knowledge and spiritual gifts are not enough.

Many people like Bishop Abioye coz he seems humble, I believe that is one of the reasons why God allowed him to back Bishop Oyedepo for many years.

Bishop Oyedepo is an aggressive lion, and needs someone close with some calm, worded and balanced appeal to carry the ministry weight.

If Bishop Abioye is not called to patriach a ministry pathway by himself, he would not have gotten to where he is today.

It is only the hand of God that gives a voice and makes a man great. And this has to do with obedience to his will or burden.

* * Arguably, even the greatest man of God in Nigeria today, Pastor E.A Adeboye did not own a church. Not a single parish of RCCG belongs to him or his family. . but becoz he connected himself to God"s needed move for that season, his name was established tru God's name.

Whereas, God permitted Bishop Oyedepo and some others to create paths and establish churches directly.

samuelson06:
What you mockers of God don't understand is that every endeavor of man is a calling from God. The motive behind the different callings is to create a balanced world where we can all choose an endeavor and succeed in it, and ultimately making a meaning out of life.

Being a doctor, pastor, business person, lawyer, and so on are all callings from God. At the end of the day, all these endeavors meet at the point of their need because one endeavor can't satisfy itself in the scheme of things. Pastors go to doctor and doctors also go to pastors. Business people go to lawyers and lawyers also go to business people, pastors, or medical practitioners. This is the design of life so we can all find importance in all endeavors.

So, stop this fooolish behavior of trying to mock one endeavor over the other. We all have our roles in the larger scheme of things. If you decide to act fooolish today, that's still okay because people in other endeavors would still need you. As such, in the larger scheme of things, you are still important. If pastors were not important, won't see people flocking into churches. Even medical practitioners go to church; business people and those in other endeavors also go to church. So, what can you make of this?

You think people that go to church all over the world are all foools? That should be a food for thought for you. Learn to be critical in your reasoning, please.
Absolutely.

AntiZikist:
Bill Gates Monsanto Group unleashed GMO mosquitoes into the wild in Brazil under the pretext that the GMO mosquitoes carried a sterilisation gene that will help halt the population of mosquitoes in the wild.

After releasing the mosquitoes, Zika virus infections that were very rare in Brazil and limited to the thick jungles of the Amazon exploded .

Pregnant women who were infected with the virus either had miscarriages or gave birth to babies with severe congenital disorders that saw to their babies severely mentally and physically malformed.

Why in God's name will someone want to genetically modify mosquitoes ?
Once the resultant virus is prevalent globally, the source (GM company) starts rolling out vaccines etc and cash out $billions from innocent victims all over the world.

They are criminals and should be stopped. No man modifies nature without a side effect.

Politics › Re: Nigeria Plans To Issue $1.7 Billion Eurobond To Fund 2024 Budget by Basicend: 4:30pm On Nov 15, 2024
LandMann:
Knowing Nigeria with its penchant for electing useless corrupt leaders, I'll warn every sensible hardworking and honest person who has savings in USD to stay off this bond.

I foresee a future were the government will loot a large proportion of the bond proceeds and thus face difficulty in repaying the loan upon maturity, since the loan raised wasn't used for any productive purpose.

Since it's domestic issued USD bonds, the government will forcefully give you the option to receive Naira in exchange for your USD, since USD is "not available"; Naira that they can easily print like Tinubu advised Buhari the dumbass to print 21 trillion naira which is part of the cause of this inflation now.

So, Naira will depreciate more and things will become more expensive. The government will start fixing exchange rate low at the official market but the parallel market rate will be higher cos that's closer to the truth. You don't believe me? Ask yourself why a honest government will peg 2025 budget exchange rate at N1400 while current exchange rate is over N1700.

The government is planning an expansionary deficit budget to be heavily financed through borrowings that will be looted in a highly inflationary economy. Inflation will continue to rise and naira will continue to lose value. If you purchase this bond you have an 91% chance of loosing your money. Save this post.

In summary, Tinubu's government wants to use deception to forcefully convert your USD to Naira.
They're going to loot most of the USD they raise through this bond and stash it abroad.

Be wise.

If you have USD and you're looking for how to exchange it, look for a reputable crypto exchange, buy usdt and stake it and rest.

Don't say you were not warned.
Many of your points are very valid, but even the crypto (USDT) is not a properly backed-up financial security. Its long-term viability is still under review. So resting on that investment portfolio may not be the best option in the market.

See where Nigeria currently ranks as per Africa's Per Capital Income index, 2024:

Don't let us even go compare us to EU, Asia or North America.

These people, (your super-worshiped leaders) have made Nigerians so poor that even a Niger republic citizen has a better chance of daily good livelihood than a Nigerian. An average Nigerian earns less than $1.2 per day. And that's a fair figure.

Heck..if someone gave me a 100 Million Naira, I would just add it to my business portfolio..Yes, this country is difficult but I see the problems as problems that are to be solved...hence opportunities.
Bro,

Most people don't think the way you do. .

That is why you see that in many capitalist societies, it is 5% of the mass that determines the wealth $ influence of the country.

I agree with you. However, very few are gifted with the lion heart to come out of the multitude. That's the issue.

There is global inflation esp. in western countries. . So huzzling continues everywhere. But most people will always rush to where it seems there is comfort and low risk.

Without great risks, and some discomfort, you cannot be great in anything.

God blesses all men. He is the God of all spirits.

However, covenant commitments makes God take a man very serious. Sharing a portion of your income with God, is part of a covenant walk if done righteously. It is a sure walk with God. It's a higher level of growth.

Ok good. Since nobody is forcing me to pay tithe, if I don't pay tithe, would God bless me and make me rich? Yes or no?
If you pay tithe, and continue to engage in evil ways, God will not have a covenant of any rewards with you.

It is your person (heart) that most be sacrificed (given) to God before the fruits of your hands can be accepted.

God is keen about his ways above all things.

Tithing / offering matters are secondary. Your soul first. Every other thing is an addition. We are not to be overly keen on dieing after earthly wealth. God gives gradually and accordingly.

Oh, you can define your path by your peculiar leadings from the Lord.

The general (written Word) is there for you. It will be made amplified according to your ordained path, which is usually defined by your heritage.

The Bible is written by the inspiration of the holy ghost, he gives interpretation and draws leadings from it.

It is not a story book. . It's a revelation. And a man must sit to expand the meaning of revelations he has seen.

You can press for growth.

Michael547:
Kindly support the statement in bold with a Bible verse
Look brother. . Jesus did not reject tithing. . But only emphasized more important things to us such as mercy, faith and justice, Matt 23:23.

I started giving more than 10% of my Salary to God about 6 years ago. I tell you, I grew like a very significant tree amongst all my colleagues, including my supervisors etc. My father in the Lord is financially very okay so it is not my entire salary that will make him wealthy. . lol.

Truth is, I am not content as a genuine believer not giving a portion of my sweat to the God I claim to love and serve.

Most people that are castigating these things are idol worshippers and go and check how much they pay to their alters and priests regularly. They won't tell you. . Satan is hell bent to reduce the influence of the kingdom.

Yes, many pastors are exploiting, true. . But many are also saying this out of a genuine heart to lift many brothers and sisters out of blurry corridors.

I even wanted to divide the entire thing into 2, but God visited me that night and guided my into giving him a sacrificial offering at the begging of the year. .

I gradually started growing as mighty tree amongst all my colleagues, I repeat, Absolutely.

I am talking of a staff strength of nothing less that 300 people in facility.

I was not even doing it for money. . But I wanted God to use me to heal people. . But he came after about 5 years of continuous givings and opened my eyes to a business, and began to grow me mighty. I was instructed not to borrow so that I can see the help and hand of God clearly.

We all have our pathways and ordinations in God, but there is nothing wrong with tithing, especially to a good and clean ground that God has confirmed to you.

Yes, the essence has been perverted, but it is incumbent on a believer to find his own tributary in the river.

Bless.

So why the emphasis on tithe if we can even give more or less....why not just tell people to be generous like the apostles did?
Tithe is the least level of expression of what you have to God. If believers are having a headache with just 10%, are they the same people you will inform about forsaking all?

A genuine believer will not have an issue with separating a portion of his incomes as a sacrifice to God.

I heard Benson Idohosa gave 90% too as a covenant. . You can see the kind of authority he displayed during his time.

One of the most censored nations in the world.
How do you want to hear local bad news when there's no google, fb, twitter, even their news channels are all govt controlled.

While in tazania i met a chinese national who is an art enthusiast and artist.
He was telling me how his wife is tired of him being an artist and want him to get a proper job.

He paints and carves and have to use vpn to access YouTube and fb in order to sell his products to people of western world who are his major customers.

What he said that caught my attention.
"it's not all rosy in china, if i wasn't married i would have relocated permanetly to the U. S, china is a progressive yet repressive country"

I wanted to start feeling pity for him but i quickly snapped back when i remembered the hell i am coming from.
The issue is that their population is huge, so their govt used that as a bargaining tool to keep their general wage low.

Many Chinese are still suffering so that their country can sustain the quick global economic dominance via cheap exports. That is why Yuan was pegged against the dollar.

But, in very recent months, their are begining to wise up and protest. That's is why you see that their products are gradually getting more expensive now and many western companies are currently moving their manufacturing to Vietnam, Malaysia, India and even Mexico coz wage structure in those places are currently lower.

Also China have infrastructure that enables smooth logistics and shipping that those other nations don't yet have.

Lol. . Which country released COVID-19 to d world?

Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) which country was it released from recently?

Look, China or Chinese are a hybrid of African corruption inclination, and Japanese / western tech IQ brain.

Their current model of relative quality and cheap pricing of their exports is to gain global base. Truth is, once their companies gain global spread and power, their imperialist nature will emerge.

Their own prices will be worse than what Ford, Microsoft, Volkswagen etc are offering now.

They will be far undiplomatic as Western nations. But there is little Africa can do now. . We actually don't really have a choice.

The West still see us as slaves, even in business. The gap has widened so much now, due to their cruel monitory frameworks.

If you want to buy a low budget (USA) Wahl Clipper to barb your hair for examp, landing cost will be about N54,000 to N59,000. That is more than monthly salary of many people in Lagos.

At least, China still sees us as friends and treats us as such in some way.

But I hope our leaders can observe that friendship and pacts with China most be on a very careful level.
