BusinessRe: “this Is Too Much” – Mother Of Two Cries Out Over Tax Deducted From ₦25,000 Tran by Basicend: 9:17am On Jan 06
Even thou the subject narration is inaccurate.

However, after misappropriating and siphoning country's resources.

After removing subsidies that should make life easy for citizens. The next step is for Tinubu and Oloyede to be deducting monies anyhow from struggling individuals accounts without their knowledge or permission.

People that are supporting this govt are sick honestly.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester City Vs Chelsea (1 - 1) Live by Basicend: 8:35pm On Jan 04
Reference:
They are good players needing good coordination.
Chelsea should learn to embrace and live with good quality coaches and at the same time learn to discard poor quality ones in a timely manner. This they have not managed in the last decade.
You have given the guy a very proper answer. Correct.
PoliticsRe: See What Biden Said About Trump And Maduro In 2020 by Basicend: 2:48pm On Jan 04
Tinubu was marked by Trump for removal.

Trump would have served him the same food he served Maduro if Tinubu had thrown a jab back at Trump when he roared against Nigeria recently.

Tinubu was wise and escaped the trap for now. He kept quiet all through and did not do anything to contest the external aggression.

Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria are heavily under Trump's interest and watch.

PoliticsRe: You must produce not tax Your Way Out Of Poverty - Peter Obi by Basicend: 6:47pm On Jan 02
Obi is brilliant. . I also perceive him as a diplomatic leader.

But most brilliant people are usually not strong-willed, determined and bold. You need the traits therein to lead a stubborn nation like Nigeria impactfully.

Peter Obi, Femi Adesina, Yemi Osibanjo etc. Will give the ideas, but don't have the balls to stand by it to the tough end.

Hi dear.

Very rich people save very little but invest much of their funds.

To be continuously rich, you have to learn to send ur monies on errands for continous multiplication.

Happy New Year to you.
BusinessRe: Countries With The Highest Real GDP Growth In 2025. by Basicend:
The leading countries on that list were war ravaged countries. But now, they have been able to attract some trust and stability to their system.

Even Zimbabwe and Benin republic are now growing well marginally.

But here in Nigeria, the only thing our leadership know how to do is to steal funds, or kill industries with inflation, high running costs and tax, tax, tax.

But in the Nigerian film industry it's only the female stars that are buying expensive houses, brand new cars etc.

He should shut up and let the country tackle the issue.
PoliticsRe: NLC To Nigerians: Reject ‘distorted’ Tax Law by Basicend:
If Tinubu cannot suspend that useless inhumane tax law to Nigerians, he will be impeached.

He has proven to be a hyper greedy and selfish leader. Just concerned about himself and his collective slavish cohorts.

If he can't fund his further expenditures, he should explore more borrowings.

How can citizens of a country without war become so poor. Enough is enough.
SportsRe: Anthony Joshua $91m From Bout With Jake Paul Shrinks To $48m After Tax by Basicend:
tiger28:
Joshua knew this before he entered the fight nau.

These guys are professional fighters and they know the deal.

You can criticize the US but that’s the ONLY place to earn $98M for “non title” fight of less than an “hour”.

Also, the reason these Western countries are doing well are from TAXES. See road, see regular electricity, see non stop water. How many Nigerians pay taxes from earnings aside civil servants and a few others.

Most of the biggest government critics don’t pay any tax at all!

Do hawkers pay tax?? Mechanics nkor? Vulcanizers? Market ppl?!? Agberoshuh

We ain’t serious!
Bro, are you talking about over taxing a people that 85% of them sees buying Chicken, Sandine, Fish and beans as luxury?

The issue with Nigeria is not non-taxing or taxing, it lies with systematic deep and brutal corruption.
It is messed up.

If Tinubu taxed Nigerians 50% from January, I can tell you for fre that the derived proceeds will still be wasted and looted as usual. Thereby creating more stark poverty.

The UK and some EU countries need to over-tax becoz they have noting to fall on. Nigeria have abundant mineral resources. We shouldn't be in this pressured state at all in the first place.

And the way out is still not over taxing the over-stretched people.

If he can't generate ideas for now, he may borrow more to fund his expenditure. I believe you are staying abroad or have some pipes to free politician monies. That why you guys talk like this.

PoliticsRe: ICPC Invites Dangote Over $7m School Fees Claim Against Ex-NMDPRA Boss by Basicend: 6:59pm On Dec 21, 2025
AfDapone:
All this noise so they can collect their own share.

EFCC should be the agency to spring up on top of this case, but the oil people know very well how to always grease the pockets relevant officials ahead of time to forestall any issue.

Dangote knows the game and is very well a player in the market. He knows the only way to ruffle the feathers is to bring the game down to street level.
In the long run, it will be inevitably very messy at both ends.
PoliticsRe: ICPC Invites Dangote Over $7m School Fees Claim Against Ex-NMDPRA Boss by Basicend:
Dangote outlayed about $20 billion on the refinery facility, and later purchased about 4,000 ($470 million) CNG powered trucks.

I believe his anticipation was to significantly carry the refining and supply chain load of the downstream sector of Nigeria's oil and gas.

In my opinion, Dangote obviously saw that NNPC and the regulatory authority kept circumventing his plan despite spending such huge sum. He said " I am fighting for my survival".

That's what made him become so radical and restless.

For me, he didn't do proper feasibility study before buying that much trucks, despite the concerns that lead to the need for it.

Also, it is also very wrong for Dangote to be flagging Farouk's family matters in such a business context. Afterall, all of them have dirty linen.

Every Nigerian funded the Dangote refinery project via CBN's FX subsidies and virtually COT free transactions on his accounts. Don't let's go into the means of his capital acquisitions.

He needs to be careful, because Tinubu can be unpredictable and won't allow Dangote to have his way unchecked as previous leaders.

Ukraine can never win. Unfortunately, their ground was just used (by US & NATO) as means to waste Russia's military and economic resources. They should have known better.

But their leader I believe was more interested in the funds that he is gaining from the war. Totat meaningless war.
PoliticsRe: 2026 Budget: Tinubu Presents Historic ₦58 Trillion To National Assembly by Basicend: 9:29pm On Dec 19, 2025
N58 Trillion (for over 220 million people) is about $39 - $40 billion.
Nigerian recent leaders have truly made a huge mess of our value.

That's the budget status of the entire nation for 2026.

While Elon Musk alone is worth $680 billion.
PoliticsRe: FG Raises Alarm Over Alleged Plot To Frustrate New Tax Reforms by Basicend: 11:25am On Dec 19, 2025
From the assessment of the topic on this thread alone, we can generally confirm that about 95% Nigerians are not interested or approving of Tinubu"s tax law.

Hence, Tinubu should for once in his life be humane and stop being just greedy.

If he can't lead Nigeria without over buddening the people with exceesisve taxes, he should simply resign. It's not by force.
EducationRe: Countries By Average IQ by Basicend:
CodeTemplarr:
United States may be far away from Russia and China but are a smart nation overall. If there is anything like nation IQ, USA will dwarf all others.
The reason is simple, they have taken time to allow all other races grow the body of knowledge via reaearch. No one come close to that. The researchers driving chinese system today are largely USA trained or inspired. In short, they reversed the babylonian confusion syndrome above any other.
Your points are quite good.

However, currently, China is the number 1 with research institutions in the world. Infact, 8 out of 10 of a sample proportion are coming out of China.


Also, China is the country producing the highest number of engineers globally currently.

They are also the most manufacturing country in the world right now with over 30% of global industrial manufacturing coming from China.

Most Nairalanders, don't do constant research. That's why many of our submissions on this platform years behind in reality.

China has inched the US in most parameters and are at a faster progressive rate, while the US in status has a declining commitment in most parameters relatively.
EducationRe: Countries By Average IQ by Basicend:
China refused to buy chips from Nvidia USA last week or so.

They are now creating their own advanced alternative.

Robotics, AI, space tech, automobiles, e-commerce, computers, construction, military, aerodynamics, int trade etc. They are honestly marching the USA bumper to bumper now in virtually all key development sectors.

Clearly, the world should just brace up for a change in order.

Blitzking:
Dangote turn activist to protect his 20 billion dollars investment
Dangote said it's either his refinery goes down at this point, or the cabal / guild of PMS importers goes down. That's why he has become brutally vocal and restless.

His $20billion is at a brink of liquidity issues currently. The FG tax input considerations and supply chain is yoking his neck.

Remember he further invested in many trucks for anticipated supplies and control.

This battle is messy. Dangote may win a little now, but war continues.
