What are Agbado illiterates celebrating here?
70% of Oyedele's recommendations have been whittled down or thrown away.
- Derivation is now only 20%
- Corporation Tax - UNCHANGED
- VAT increase - STALLED
- 50% + 30% of VAT still goes to POPULATION and EQUITY (North is the winner, while Lagos loses)
- All Institutions like TETFUND, NASEN, NTDA, etc - UNCHANGED
What exactly did TINUBU achieve with the Tax Reform Bills?

How did lagos loose ? In terms of population lagos is the most populous state in the South with over 20m residents , in terms of vat lagos will still receive massive sums based 0n the proposal by the NGF so how did they loose ?

AbdulQowiyy Olálékan Imam-Onídẹ writes on X:


AbdulQowiyy also posted past Facebook post of the newly elected Alaafin to proof that he is a christian with a Muslim name.

Ask this fool if there are no Christians in oyo Town? What nonsense is this?

Humans aren't eating food.
You haven't been eating food. You think you have, but you're wrong. For so long, You've pleased your tongue at the expense of your stomach, forgetting that's it's only your tongue that tastes your food. Your stomach don't taste


In fact, looking back, most of you will be able to count on one hand how many times you've eaten food in the past decade, after you digest this post, hopefully

Rice give you energy.
Beans supplies your protein
Fat and oil help your body absorb nutrients in their own ways

But guess what?
It's rice that's gives you energy, and not jollof rice
It's rice that gives you energy, and not rice and stew

It's beans that gives you energy, not beans and crayfish and oil
It's beans that gives you energy, not beans and bread

There are rules to food combination. There are different classes of food, so there are rules to combine the different classes of food that we have

There's nothing like dirty water. It's either water, or it's something else.
If water is H2o, then H2o + (something else) = an element that cannot just be H2o

There's nothing like oily beans or bread and beans. It's either beans in its natural form or it's something else.

Beans in its natural form is the food your body needs.
Beans in its artificial form after being garnished with unnecessary ingredients, is no longer beans. It's no longer food

And when you're no longer eating food, you're starving.

Now guess how long you've been starving?

Now you know why your food don't reflect positively in your body: You weren't eating food. You were starving. You've been starving. Starve no more.

https://www.nairaland.com/8250721/theres-nothing-like-dirty-water

PS: Do you pour clean water in a dirty water bottle?
No
Unless you want dirty water still.
So first, you have to wash the water bottle. You have to clean your body system first, and then start to eat right.

I thought you will be kind enough to give us the best food combinations? 🤷‍♀️

Who you be? Dumb head ! Too many illiterates on nairaland who can't logically analyse a simple newspaper article ,maybe Seun should copy the LinkedIn template and watch how nairaland will become a sane platform again .

CERTIFIED DULLARD ! Can't process a simple article .

Leysco:
Believe this lies at your own peril. This bill will further impoverish the masses. How will a low income earner be exempted from tax when his employer is heavily taxed by the government?

Dunce ! Everything is clear spelt out In this easy to read article, yet you chose to be daft and still ask silly questions .

shayo na bastard!

These are the people that understood the principle of service to the people but here in naija it's a different thing altogether

While it's good to call out African leaders we should also have a proper perspective of how and why things changed in Nigeria and several African countries , from balewa till myrtala Muhammad our leaders were easily accessible , it was the incessant coups and attacks that made our elite and political leaders become inaccessible.
If that prime minister is gunned down I can assure you the next person to take over will beef up security, Africa needs to totally wean herself of colonial control and create our own development model so that we can also enjoy this type of peace and security this lady experienced in Netherlands.

gidgiddy:
I don't see any duplicitous behaviour here, she was talking about events in the UK above, not events in Nigeria

Is Jos she referred to a city in the UK?

APC in Ghana is not associated with APC Nigeria in any way . And the APC candidate in Ghana is the most in serious candidate in Ghana politics . Ask anyone about ayariga ,they will just laughing .

Unserious you mean , that's sad ! Well my bet is 0n mahama to win if it's free and fair .

marlow1962:
Ahh apc still dy Ghana,lol this ppl mean business

Apc is the only serious party in Africa, the others are just playing to the gallery , apc is very focused and don't mind achieving their aims by hook or crook , give them 10 years in Ghana they will soon become the 3rd largest party in Ghana.

For how long will you northerners keep saying this? Before independence, you guys kicked against early independence cos of inequality between North and South, its been over 50 years and you are still singing the same tune ,then it shows you guys can't be trusted even if we give you another 50 years to play catch up with the south , I think it's time we all go our separate ways .

OkCornel:
So the idle folks Paul was writing about weren’t Christians? 🤷

Please read 2 Thessalonians 3 v 6 very slowly. Who were the brothers and sisters advised to keep away from? Unbelievers or idle believers hmmm?

I asked a simple question, how many Christians have you personally met that are idle ? You don't seem to get my drift . I am not generalising here , I am asking what percentage of Christians are idle ?

OkCornel:
There is a time for everything under the sun.

A time to pray, a time to rest, and a time to work!

Do each in its right time and stop putting square pegs in round holes expecting miracles.


Read this banger from Apostle Paul

2 Thessalonians 3 v 6-12;

6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us.

7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,

8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, 👉we worked night and day👈, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but 👉in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate👈.

10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.

12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.

How many Christians have you seen idle ,even those who have no job at least spend their time in prayers and meditation, I mean real Christians oh ! Not the mixed multitude that attend church service .
When i was jobless I learned how to play the guitar and drums in my parish free of charge I added to my personal development cos of it ,don't let an occult member like Obi deceive you .

naijapikin2:
This religion really suppresses the rights of women. They just want to give men the leeway to arbitrarily rape minors in the name of marriage. But why is this religion so hell bent on sex control/ enticing issues?!?

They still have not run out of virgin's for martyrs.

A religion of moral laxity.
Mohammed must have been a. P1MP., 😎

It was not like this under saddam hussein, the USA are the cause of this nonsense . If they had left Iraq as it was under hussein , fanatics won't be in power now .

ajebuter:
Seriously?

This guy is just a year older than me?

I swear if l met him for real, l would call him Daddy...

Even my dad (Baba Titi of Epe) in his 70s is much younger looking..

Na wah oo

They smoke and drink , coupled with the stress of office makes them age faster , dude has been in active politics since tinubu was governor.

Gov Abba Yusuf in this video is seen leaving his official chair for his predecessor, Senator Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso to sit on.

This is coming amidst rumors in some quarters that both Kwankwaso and Gov Yusuf are having some Political rifts.

Gov Yusuf is the godson of former Gov Kwankwaso in Kano State.

Watch the video.

Just imagining if this was Sanwo-olu, social media will be on fire , tinubu would have been insulted to high heavens .

LadyExcellency:
Stop quoting fake news BBC as your source because they are left-wing garbage.

https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/economy/imf-hails-argentinas-impressive-progress-under-milei.phtml

Read all you quoted , the same imf you claimed Milei shunned assisted him with financial services, this discussion in above your mental capacity obviously.

LadyExcellency:
Economic policies are unique to each country and there is no global formula for finding a solution to them.

Argentina was worse than Nigeria when both Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Javier Gerardo Milei were elected. Argentina shunned, blasted, and repudiated the IMF and World Bank and is doing the opposite of what these agencies suggested and today, Argentina is back on track while Nigeria is the worst of any emerging economy.

Naralanda1 is a potentially wicked politician. You don't pull down a house you were called to amend and leave everyone at the mercy of the weather and illnesses just because you want to build a new house. That's plain wickedness.

nairalanda1:
Let's keep borrowing then.

Thank you

Leave her to keep deceiving herself that Argentina is doing well

None of the opposition party governors are performing, they are very inept , I cam assure you Apc will win more states and presidency in 2027 not because they are saints but because just like edo state ,most opposition governors wether pdp, nnpp, or lp have been seriously abysmal .

People gave buhari and apc a chance because of fashola and 0shiomoles performance in their respective states , you can stay on social media all day tweeting and mocking T -pain but when election begins the story will change because politics is local , pdp can't win bayelsa in 2027 .

gaby:
We have a bigger stone to grind in our country, my people.

Unfortunately, there is absolutely no hope in sight because as you all can now finally see, the country isn't ours and the people they foist on us as leaders are their puppets to do their biddings. If you won't do their bidding or at least provide them assurances that you'll do so, they'd make sure you fail by way of sabotage and instigation.

Our history is replete with the facts above, however, only a very few who are deep thinkers with foresight can recognize this and take action by accepting the reality that "Nigeria/Africa" is fuckedd with no hope in sight for as long as the Neocolonialists and Brettonwoods institutions still hold sway.

It takes a man/woman with a deep foresight, guts, and the humility to come to the realization and acceptance of reality to wake up, decide to sell off all he has and transplant himself from the hell that they have turned Nigeria into. Nobody, and I repeat, no body, is happy to move away from his/her home if all was truly well.

I'll continue to say it, if you have the means and value your sanity, make the move however legal you can for sanity sake first. Yes, life is a struggle the world over but chose your struggle very strategically. I'd rather struggle where the reward for my struggle trumps the one in Nigeria by at least 10x.

Shebi Tinubu has been humbled in his arrogance and hiding now while trying to reverse the calamitous policies he swallowed hook, line, and sinker to implement in their favor. They have warned him against any reversal and praising him for a job well done. He knows what to do in order to keep his job or a reelection and your guess is as good as mine.

I'm not in the mood for a typing but if anyone here feels like doing a deep thinking to figure out Nigeria in a bid to see the hopelessness on the horizon, go on a research from as early as the 1983 military regime of Buhari, the coup that upstaged him, the policies implemented by the subsequent regime, the true reason Abacha was deleted, the introduction of OBJ, Yaradua, Gej, a "new" Buhari, and now, Jagaban. There is a very deep story behind the curtains...

Even the "new" Buhari was conservative in his reformation and acceptance to play ball just so he could rule again, but this oversabi calamity there today? He deformed and devalued the country and her currency by as much as 400% thereby positioning the country to be buy able by as little as a single wealthy citizen of the neocolonialist countries.

A word they say.....

It is a pity...

In one breath you say naija and Africa is doomed cos of the neo-colonialists and in another you advise readers to do all they can to escape to the same land of the neo-colonialists..... can you see that both you and the leaders you love to deride are both slaves?

AuthorMan:
Now I know you are a Fool, a very big one at that. Na who you dey scare with warning?

What do you know about the Bible?

You think reading the Bible makes you an authority over anyone?

What revelation do you get each time you read the word?
You must be stupid quoting me in such a manner.
Be careful!

All your insults are futile my child , just take my dare challenge and see the results shikena ! This is my last response ànd warning to you and your accomplice , oh by the way this your response just exposed how full of darkness you are spewing insults like an uncircumcised philistine.

AuthorMan:
My guy stop talking like you know Bible pass anyone.
Leave God to judge anyone misquoting bible.
Judgment belongs to God.

I know the bible pass you , I I given you and your partner the final warning , its not hard ďisobey it and see the outcome then you will know wether I sabi bible pass you, the principles of Ģod can't be broken. Just dare it , I DARE ýou to test it and see the outcome. You will know wether God is alive and well or not!

AuthorMan:
Who you be?

Office Clark of Paradise?
Abegi shift!

Tell your partner and yourself to persist in the folly first then you will know the outcome , its not hard nah continue to misquote the bible and lead people astray and see what you harvest , just like Jesus said it would have been better you tie a stone to your neck ànd dive into the sea than lead any of these little ones ( ignorant ,innocent souls) astray with your wicked manipulation of scriptures.

Righteousness2:
Only an " emmanuel" Possessed with the Spirit of the anti-christ will utter such Blasphemous Blasphemy.
And only those without knowledge of their Existence will hail such blasphemy

And I say to this French macaroon:

ISRAEL was ESTABLISHED by GOD'S decree!
No human, devil, spirit, Organization or Entity will do or can do anything about it.

[b]

You are a son of perdition and you have no part in the kingdom of God , stop misquoting bible and leading innocent people on this platform astray , I won't warn you again but the judgement on you will be very swift if you persist in your folly .

gabbytabby:
The fact that the source of the law is the UN is irrelevant. Individuals present bills which pass through the different readings before being adopted this is just a waste of the courts time especially since a precedent has already been set.

Corruption is really fitting back and they expect things to change.

16 states. Nigeria we hail thee.

My brother Nigerians really don't understand what they are up against, they think tinubu is their problem , the governors are the greatest burden and threat we have to democracy, lookvat soludo setting up a template against LG autonomy I can assure you he was used to test the waters , other governors will create the same law using his template, now kogi state plus 15 other states have gone all out to remove efcc that served as a check on executive rascalitý.

Mordecai:
Peter Obi was right, please.

We have a twin evil - massive corruption and foreign exchange woes.

The only panacea to the corruption by public officials is to first be above board, secondly block all avenues for stealing, then thirdly, to punish severely, any public official caught stealing.

For the foreign exchange issue, the naira has to be defended. No developing country floats its currency. Period.

Reno Monkey should stick to licking T-pain's a*$e, please.

The countries that adopted floating exchange rate policies experienced varying degrees of success. *Argentina*, for instance, saw a significant reduction in inflation rates after adopting a floating exchange rate regime in 1991 ¹. This was largely due to the country's ability to manage monetary policy more effectively.

*Brazil* and *South Africa* also benefited from increased exchange rate flexibility, which helped them navigate external shocks and maintain economic stability. In Brazil, the floating exchange rate regime contributed to a decline in inflation and improved economic growth ¹. Similarly, South Africa's adoption of a floating exchange rate helped the country weather economic downturns and maintain a stable inflation rate.

However, *Turkey*'s experience with floating exchange rates was more mixed. While the policy allowed for greater exchange rate flexibility, it also led to increased volatility and inflationary pressures ¹.

*India*'s experience was more positive, with the floating exchange rate regime contributing to increased foreign exchange reserves and improved economic stability.

Overall, the success of floating exchange rate policies depends on various factors, including the country's economic conditions, institutional framework, and policy management.
