A client approached me and said:
“My budget is ₦300k. I want to transform my mother’s living room.”

I’m an interior designer, and this is the result of the project completed in Ogun State.

First photos: BEFORE
Next photos: AFTER

The goal was to achieve a clean, functional, and modern living room within a limited budget.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback from house owners and professionals here.

What do you think of the transformation?

Please can you be more specific on what and what you did as upgrade to the room and what's the size of the room?

VeeVeeMyLuv:
He forgot to include that in addition to the PAYE tax that workers had already been paying prior, they will be paying this new tax law income tax at the end of the year. For example,

For s senior federal civil servant whose salary is 500k per month

He is already paying PAYE of 14%
Which is a whooping 780k per annum

Then in addition with the new tax law he will be made to pay extra income tax of 18% on the remaining take home salary of 5.2m

So at the end of the day his take home will eventually be 4.2m naira!

So a total of 32% will be taken of from his total income. 🙀💀

From the look of things even those supporting the PBAT income tax policy dont even undersand it...

Since they say its an annual thing, they will tell nigerians by november how they intend to stop such double income taxaction...

stokfrick:
The government has paid some persons to suppress the truth about the implications of these taxes.
One of the implications is that it's going to hinder people's financial growth.
If you decide to work harder to earn more, you pay more money to government thereby slowing your savings and financial growth rate.
Also the tax rate is very high for a country with very low income per capital.
Secondly, you benefit next to nothing from whatever is removed from your money as tax.
Bad roads(more car expenses),
Low quality but expensive health care
High Insecurity(affects cost of food)
You generate most of the power u use
Lack of free/quality education
Lack of transparency and embezzling of public funds
And more

While we have someone in NL telling us that Nigeria is a poorly taxed country compared to other nations.....!!!

You can imagine people's wicked and mischievous audacity!!!!!

A confident lady goes viral explaining why she refuses to cook, do laundry, or clean for her future husband: "I aspire to be a billionaire's wife!" 👑 She argues their mansion will be too big, they'll hire chefs and cleaners, and she's busy building her own empire (an online store aiming to rival Amazon). Her take? Women who handle chores have "nothing else to offer."
The woman argues that she refuses to perform traditional domestic tasks like cooking, laundry, or cleaning because she aspires to marry a billionaire (or become one herself through her business ventures). She emphasizes hiring professional services instead, claiming their future home will be too large for her to handle alone. She also implies that women who do these chores lack other value to offer in a relationship, positioning herself as ambitious and independent. The tone is confident and dismissive, likely intended as provocative or humorous content.

Is she onto something, or is this peak delusion? Drop your thoughts below! 👇

I hope she's started hiring those service providers in the house she currently occupied and paying them for their rendered services with her money since she already has an online business..?!!!

All the APC Voltrons have already positioned themselves to post and support this thread. Look at them up there and throughout the topic posting and applauding the wicked taxation.

"Reduce their purchasing power, spread the tax net"

Bola Tinubu, 2020

We have a generation of copy and paste....
A generation of say it as you are told......

Without actually having a clear understanding of it and also able to respond intelligently to questions when asked.......

So in their trying to make it known to the public they have also failed in passing the information around....

A8: If registered as an enterprise (business name), you pay Personal Income Tax. If registered as a limited liability company, you pay Company Income Tax.


With regards to the bolded....

How is this personal income tax calculated for one who runs an Enterprise business name and also will the employees under this kind of business name required to also pay personal income tax?

Is that not double taxation because the Enterprise business first taxes the individual employees salary/wages and remit to the FG and why will the FG still go ahead to tax same employees?!!!!

Please explain with clarity.....
Thanks.

[quote author=DoTheNeedful post=137987463]You are just being overly critical. A minimum wage earner earns 840,000 in a year. Based on the new tax law, the 40,000 on top of the 800,000 is taxed at 15%, which means that a minimum wage earner pay 6,000 naira per year (500 per month) in tax. A minimum wage earner pays more than this in the old tax regime.

Many of you that criticize do so either maliciously or due to ignorance.

Our tax collection rate in Nigeria is one of the poorest even in Africa. The understanding of tax by Nigerians terrible. Many of you need to get it into your heads that tax payment is vital for any society to thrive.



[/quote

Many of you who think you're trying to enlighten people supporting the PBAT administration are only mischievous by 99%.

Now, those countries you claim have higher tax compared to Nigeria with a low poor tax, do they suffer from no electricity supply to their household buildings and business premises, do they provide portable drinking water for themselves by themselves, do they contribute money to repair damaged NEPA poles and transformers, do they provide private security in their neighborhood for themselves by themselves, do they construct and maintain drivable roads by themselves for themselves and lastly how much is their acceptable living wage earning annually for the least paid duly legal worker ?

Sobubwan dey arrest owners of trucks over crimes commited by drivers

The person who enployed them is the only person who has their contact data and whoever stood at surety/shortee/referee for the driver.

bdon123:
Those trailer drivers always run n leave d trucks jst incase u dnt know

Oh really....

So the trailer has no legitimate owner?
Maybe people would start to turn those trailers to scrap metal whenever they are found like it on the highway and we'll see if the police will not do something about it!!!!

Berankis:
Your political masters have got us to this point. They do politics more than they do the actual development they are supposed to.
We will see what happens in the end. Your President flouted the constitution by suspending a sitting Governor without due process and you are here enumerating nonsense. You will soon eat your words...

What do you mean by due process?

Something even the National Assembly voted for it to be done....

Which other due process is there to abide by?

They make laws to preserve the moral upbringing of the children but those who make the laws do not possess any significant sign of moral upbringing, development or re-development even as they are adults...

This so called sharia should be completely scrapped off by the FG. These people only use it as a sign to hold their people in bondage.
A place where there is no necessary and significant infrastructural development....!!!!

PulaPower:
Nah lie..

Those thieves are robbing because of hunger. Germany government has failed. No one will rob if there are infrastructures and electricity in a country..

Germany is cooked.

So those who rob in the USA and Britain do not see the infrastructures and electricity there in?

The main point here is the sender that will be charged starting from Jan 1st 2026. Previously, it's the receiver that gets charged.

The charge one sees on the ATM s screen that prompts one to continue the transaction or not, what difference is it and is it not the sender that bears it......
Since when does the receiver bear such charges?

I am very sure Abati is trying to talk to those who didn't actually watch that media chat and I am glad to have watched it on television...

To those who watched it will see that even Lere knelt down to avoid be captured by the camera for he tried to hide himself behind Wike.


Abati should know that nobi everybody be village mindset.

peleson1:
You are naive

Tinubu is going on automatic ticket likewise APC governors especially those that def acted .


This evening, APC national has issued a warning to wike to mind his business


They is a strong warning and if he thinks it's a joke ,by the time he knows it, he will be dropped as a minister


Dey jonse ok

At the appropriate time, we go see if APC national get power for inside Rivers State matters.....

Make we see if na APC national go come vote for the governorship primaries....
How many of Fubara followers don join APC in their wards or when you hear say people decamp, don't they decamp with large amount of their followers........

That's when you'll know who dey jonze.

peleson1:
You are not in Rivers state abeg

Nobody likes wike


Wike has never won an election in his entire life .


Only rigging


Fubara has the streets, the people and all the political juggarnaughts in Rivers state are with fubara.



Now that fubara has entered APC angle joined forces with Tinubu , is it wike that will work against Tinubu interest?

Wike is only a path finder and fubara is the ue light bearer

Wike time don pass


Wike is not in tinubu's long term plans but fubara has all that Tinubu requires

Nobody needs a power drunk who is ever ready to insult you tomorrow to lick the next person's ass and say to you that I didn't help him that he has been the one helping you since

So you are in Rivers State to know all this and speak it....!!!!!
Please keep your emotions in check and your hatred for Wike away from this issues.....

Fubara is yet to bring something meaningful to the table of PBAT......

Do you know that when the APC primaries will emerge in Rivers State, majority of the delegates if not all are all Wike's followership, so you think they would vote for Fubara at the primaries and at what amount?


The RSHA members are now APC full fledged members ahead of the forth coming elections and Fubara just joined them...........is it not Fubara who is following them instead of them to follow him........do you think these RSHA members will again deliver Fubara given the issues that are not resolved and may not be resolved even if Fubara keeps to an eleventh hour allowance on the agreement he has defaulted and defaulting............


Do you think PBAT will want to retain such a person in his fold given such becomings?

Reference:
Fubara is compromised already. He himself had admitted to that several times and his political actions since he resumed office show his allegiance is not with the people but to the President. And he will do whatever the President wants.

He is a political eunuch (my adopted word of the week), his conscience completely castrated.

Fubara is over compromised.
He has joined the league of the political class lacking intergity and for someone who can't keep to an agreement/arrangement, that's why Wike dislikes and can't continually trust him.

This is a governor who came out to say there's no money or nothing he is getting and Akpabio told him to just resign....
This is a governor who told the people that "his spirit has left the brick house"....

There's so much political free money can do to the conscience of a man.......
That's why at times, one exercise self control and refrain from speaking publicly when certain issues arise for sometimes one might not be so different from the one he condemns...

Peliman:
Wike is irrelevant in Fubara's reelection dude has been outsmarted big time 😂

Really....

Do you know who are the delegates in thr APC party that will vote for Gov. Fubara when they hold that party primaries or how much do you think Gov.Fubara is willingly to spend per delegate when that time arises, assuming he is even allowed to to get the party ticket....?

In this heated viral clip from December 2025, prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi delivers a bold message amid Nigeria's ongoing insecurity crisis:

“Herdsmen are going nowhere. They are part of us, and we are part of them. We must learn to live together and should never become enemies with them.”

The statement has ignited massive debate across Nigeria, with critics accusing Gumi of sympathizing with armed groups linked to banditry, while supporters see it as a call for dialogue over violence.

The FG government should arrest Gumi and put in prison before the next elections.

Savageman247:
A Nigerian man has narrated how trust, friendship, and generosity took a surprising turn after he tried to help a close friend during the 2022 Christmas season.

According to him, the friend reached out asking for “Christmas money.” Rather than send a small token, he credited the friend with ₦5 million and also included a list of other beneficiaries he wanted to financially support for the festive period, since he was deployed at the time and unable to handle the transfers himself.

He explained that his friend agreed to help distribute the funds and provide a breakdown of payments. However, immediately after receiving the money, the story took a strange twist — the friend vanished.

Communication reportedly stopped completely. The last message exchange between them was on December 26, 2022, when he pleaded with his friend to please send the money to those on the list. His messages were ignored.

For over two years, there was total silence… until yesterday.

Out of nowhere, the same friend resurfaced — once again asking for “Christmas money.” Shocked by the audacity, the man simply replied with “lol.” When the friend pressed further, begging and trying to explain himself, the response remained the same: “lol.”

Despite everything, he says he has no intention of blocking him — but the trust is gone, and the lesson remains a painful one.

Sometimes, the biggest heartbreaks don’t come from strangers. They come from those we once trusted without hesitation.

Source: https://www.reportnaija.ng/2025/12/friend-who-vanished-with-5-million.html

The friend should be lucky he even got a response even though it's an lol....

With the mindset I get this 2025 I won't even allow myself to respond to that friends' messages.

He has the guts to deny others money not his own and still come back after three years, but him try to stay three years to return again.

Imagine, that the friend had angrily given his contact to those other friends to hunt him down, how would he feel?

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, caused a buzz in Akure on December 24, 2025, after he was seen casually stopping by a roadside vendor to buy boole, the popular roasted plantain snack.
The unexpected moment happened in the state capital, where the governor stepped out to interact freely with residents, exchanging greetings and engaging in brief conversations. His relaxed presence among the people quickly drew attention and excitement from those around.
The street interaction formed part of Governor Aiyedatiwa’s ongoing “Thank-You” tour across local government areas in Ondo State. The tour, which began in late December 2025, follows his recent electoral victory and the legal confirmation of his mandate.
Just days earlier, on December 17, 2025, the governor embarked on an inspection tour of key infrastructure projects in Akure, including the Irese Flyover as well as the dualization works on the Akure–Idanre and Ijoka roads.
Throughout his December engagements, Governor Aiyedatiwa has also been rolling out festive palliatives to residents and party members in celebration of the yuletide season. Earlier in the month, on December 12, 2025, he officially flagged off the construction of the 8.8-kilometre Akure–Ijare dual carriageway.

Watch the video.

Make the State governor disguise well well just go sit for one shop wey dey sell food stuffs like rice, beans, groundnut oil, etc, etc and anyone that comes to buying, he should just ask them not to pay, let him pay afterwards after the day's business when the seller has almost closed for the day....

Your [b]Muslim brothers controlled the state house of assembly by simple majority,[/b]hence, you enact laws that give rooms to the political molestation of Christians in your domain.
It can't happen in yoruba land because Christian holds the majority in most of the house of assembly, so enacting a law to annihilate Christians political can't fly.

If that bolded is what it is then that statistics given in percentages is not an accurate...?

The POTUS just need to put an arrest warrant on this Gumi and then implore the Nigerian government under PBAT to do same.

It's because you guys have declared 📜 political jihad on them,because of the slight advantage you guys have over them.
In fact, even their traditional stools where renamed to Emirates and also in some instances, the rightful owners of the stools sacked by the governors and a stooge inserted,from southern Kaduna, bauchi, gombe adamawa state, etc. Go back and study the old names for most of the traditional chief before their nomenclature been changed to Emirates. Just Google it,since you have little time for research.
Let's take the case of Kaduna State, Kauru Chiefdom Kauru changed to Emirate Kauru
Lere Chiefdom to Lere Emirate Lere
Kagarko Chiefdom to Kagarko Emirate Kagarko
Kajuru Chiefdom to Kajuru Emirate Kajuru
Saminaka Chiefdom to Saminaka Emirate Lere
Jere Chiefdom to Jere Emirate Kagarko.
That was done in 2018 by nasiru elrufai.
Let's take what happened in gombe state of recent about the issue of mai biliri.
When Dr. Maisharu II passed away in January 2021, a major crisis erupted over the appointment of his successor.
​The Kingmakers' Vote: The traditional kingmakers reportedly voted for a Christian candidate, Dr. Musa Idris Maiyamba, to succeed the late monarch.
​The Government Decision: Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya eventually appointed Malam Danladi Sanusi Maiyamba, who is Muslim.
​Religious and Social Impact
​The appointment of a Muslim successor to a Christian predecessor in a majority-Christian community led to widespread protests and civil unrest in Billiri in early 2021.
​The Community's View: Many locals felt the "traditional stool" was being "Islamized" or that the democratic will of the kingmakers was being ignored.
​The Government's View: The state government maintained that under the Gombe State Chieftaincy Law 2020, the Governor has the final prerogative to choose from a list of candidates recommended by kingmakers, regardless of the number of votes each candidate received.

You have not responded to my questions rather you're inferring to "you guys" carried out political jihad on them!!!!!
So because I asked a question you now think, feel and assume that I am a Muslim of somewhat sort!!!!!

When they say that State governors have the right and power to install a ruler.....!!

Have you ever asked yourself why has no State governor gotten themselves involved in installing an Oba in Edo State and such that goes against the wishes of the KingMakers of that traditional stool?

dalongjnr:
For those that says that the North can't produce a Christian president or vice president are dreaming.
Which state in the North doesn't have a sizable Christian population?
Plateau is 80% Christian, bauchi is 35% Christian, gombe is 40% Christian adamawa is 46% Christian,Kaduna is 45% Christian, kogi is 40%,kwara,42%,niger 40%,borno 20%,taraba 70%,etc the core Northern states out of 19,is just 9 even at that,we have about 5-10% Christian populations.

There would be no need to ask you from where you get this figures from in percentages.

Nevertheless, in these States you have mentioned, how many has a Christian as a State Governors and what has this Christian State Governor done for the Christian folks in their State compared to the Muslim folks in same State...?

How many of such Christians in such State that you would say occupy sensitive leadership positions in their States' and same considered to have accomplished something meaningful that Christianity can be proud about?

How can Gumi say he is advocating with bandits for peace !!!!!!!

Well, bandits collecting ransom is a form of peace anyways at least till the money gets finished!!!!!!

richmond500:
Gov Fubara is the 001 of APC while Wike has been stopped from media chat.
Wike is partyless and Fubara is the leader of APC

Wike's men are in APC and including Fubara.
The real 001 is Wike and he doesn't need any party to hold any position right now and he won't be vying for any position that requires such.

Remember those LGA chairmen who are in PDP in Rivers State will remain so till there's a need for them to change party if the PDP does not resolve....

Wike has it all and he knows what to do whenever there's a lapse...

vanitybutiwanti:
Nobody is giving him ticket unless he does the needful. Wike is in charge and Tinubu will not interfere.

Everyone will align when the time comes.
For now,let's just enjoy the politics and drama they gift to the public.

vanitybutiwanti:
let him get ticket next year first, 2027 is too far

Because wike gave him governorship on a platter, he thinks he can come and hijack party structure in APC

He will beg and cry and roll on the floor, Tinubu will not intervene in the primaries

Fubara will be given the ticket for the governorship election next year on the APC by Wike, except there's a federal appointment as exchange for such....
Whether it involves begging or rolling on the floor or not, PBAT has a liking for Fubara.
The fight now is just within the RVSHA members and Fubara and not necessarily between Wike ans Fubara.
Next year, commissioners will be appointed and everyone will align towards the goal of ensuring PBAT is re-elected.

richmond500:
Fubara has congratulated the defected lawmakers and is happy with them.

Shebi e don deh clear for ur eyes say Wike deh sink?

You have no idea what really happens in Rivers State politics....

This same Wike who as State governor ensured that it was only the PDP that had candidates and all other oppositions had nothing is the one you're saying is sinking.....!!!

Gov. Fubara is just a member of the APC and not the leader of APC in the State.

We await to see if Fubara's men will give the APC a good vote at the presidential elections...
