I pay it in a country that uses it not a country that the government officials embezzled it. One of your saint got 753 duplexes in the capital territory. Are you not worried what others are doing with your so called tax?
Like we were told that Port Harcourt Refinery is finally working and selling PMS..... grin

Do you know what a duplex looks like and more so 753 duplexes owned by a single individual in the FCT?
How much did he steal and how did he use to buy them or build them be it directly or through proxies.....
Even former Gov. Okowa will be laughing at the same thing when he was accused of owning an estate with such beautiful buildings.

Do you know how a conventional wars are been fought? If Nigeria is at war with Ghana today do you think Ghana will be targeting Ekiti,Ebonyi or Bornu? The target would be for them to capture the nation capital, they will try to attack viable infrastructures like bridges, refineries etc and that means Lagos, PH and other economical viable states.
Biafrans troops were in Ore marching towards Lagos(the then Nigeria capital) before they were repelled but some non war experts feels that the battle was to take over Lagos and make it become part of the east. Do you the biafran troops to attack Ondo or Ekiti where there's nothing of significant values? If the war were to be fought today then the direction would have been Abuja.
You people should just get some brains and stop making it look like everybody wants to colonize your Lagos.
Your description of conventional war is incorrect.
How did Biafran soldiers find themselves marching enroute to Lagos from Ore without actually capturing the areas before Ore or those areas pledging support to them?

Stop bluffing, unless you are deliberately pulling wool over your eyes. In 2023, if you deducted the votes tinubu amassed from the nw from his total tally, Atiku would have been president today. In that election, he was almost struggling in his home base and could only muster just above 65 per cent in the sw. He got zero from the se and in the ss, he was only picking 25 percent here and there. His Saviour was a divided opposition. In 2027, if he loses the support of the far north and another southern candidate emerges with a strong force, apart from voter fraud it'd have been otito for him.
You cannot stop voter fraud at the presidential elections and all three contestants engaged in it directly or indirectly. Th lucky one, won it all.

Kukutente23:
From all indications, deliberations on the proposed tax bills have been suspended by both Houses of NASS.

The north quickly reached a consensus and gathered round it to ensure that their voice was the loudest and their interest most paramount. They started with the economic inequality they suspected in the bill and threw a sucker punch no one saw coming by introducing religion to the mix at the critical hour. They claimed the inheritance law aspect of the bill was against Islam.

Unfortunately, it seemed our southern Muslims are not really grounded in Islamic knowledge or maybe just subservient because I have not heard any rebuttal to that allegation that the bill is anti-Islam. Where is MURIC?! You know when such thing is raised, even Northerners that are for the bill like Dogara who is even a christian will quickly backtrack before a fatwa is issued against him.

While the Northern Governors Forum and the Northern Senators Forum and other Northern groups were releasing statements upon statements to vent their angst with the bill, their southern counterparts were as silent as night. Meanwhile majority of southerners felt a form of equity they've longed for was in the bill.

This shows the fundamental difference between southern politicians and their Northern counterparts. Southern politicians are basically selfish and self- serving and after their own interests. There's no regional interest in their thinking. In 2022, when it seemed from Buhari's body language that he wanted the presidency retained in the north, the southern governors hurriedly reignited the southern governors Forum. Recently when there were subtle threats of impeachment against Akpabio, Southern Senators Forum was formed hurriedly as well. Where are both organs today in a matter majority of southerners across ethnic and political divide seem to agree?

That is the fundamental reason the north will always have the upper hand in the conundrum called Nigeria. They have identified what binds them and they are not shy to hold on to it. They were not shy to defend their poverty and "unproductiveness". I remember a similar case occurred with the PIB. The Niger Delta wanted 10% for the host communities and 3% for inland oil exploration which basically happens in the north. We all saw Northern figures like the Sultan and others making moves and by the time the bill was signed, it was 10% for the oil exploration and 3% for host communities. There was no southern Senators Forum to raise hell then. In fact, the claim then was that it was because the north was heading all the arms of government.

But what of today, the South is heading all the arms of government yet we can't get ordinary tax bill passed. So how will the south achieve the so-called resource control, state police, fiscal federalism and regionalism which are even more knotty issues. Akpabio, Wike etc etc are suddenly silent. They can't take on the north. Southerners are grumbling and threatening on social media while the north walked their talk and spoke with one voice from the ordinary man to their biggest elites in government!

It's time southerners realise they are their biggest problem in Nigeria. There's no group interest. One rabble rouser on social media who is also from the south was even subtly looking to throw blame on a major southern ethnic group in order not to offend the north. Talk of being a proverbial house nigger. That's the apt description of most southern politicians and political entities.
Please can you enlighten me as to what relationship does inheritance law and Islam has to do with the reform tax bill because this is the first place I'm reading its because of the inheritance law that the bill is somewhat suspended......?

If you have a building plan, where you have 225mm along building wall lines represents 9 inches blocks and 150mm for 6 inches.

These HoR and it's committees have not actually gone to the location of the institution to even see what's exactly on ground with their eyes.

If truly Sen. Ndume has read and clearly understands what the tax bill is saying why don't he come out plainly and educate us rather than the comedian he has turned himself to be in the house.
People were brought to educate him and his colleagues he is turning them down and reading one nonsense from legislative book proceedings.....
As if that is not enough he now wants the bill to pass through the sub committee.....what for i I may ask?

If all of them that says it's bad why don't they hire tax experts to a town hall meeting fully televised by the media houses and let them make the subject for open discussion and bring clarity.
They want to make it like the PIB bill that they have literally turned to tissue paper !!!!

Una don start again.

The other day we saw was it a minister with several bundles of stacked cash, what was he doing with such amount of cash when we have a cashless policy?



When you people are ready, you'll start going after the politicians who are responsible for all these.

Once again if you voted for Buhari and then Tinubu, it will not be well with you. If you did the above and have traveled out of Nigeria, you'll be deported by God's grace to enjoy the change you supported.
Is there any Nigerian law that prohibits an individual to keep his earnings in physical cash in his house for his personal use or is there a limitation to such?

What exactly is the Nigerian definition of a cashless policy because for starters we still see people who attend occasions and dole out paper monies?

Do you know that in some States the number of persons who patronize POS agents are more than those who patronize banking halls for cash transactions whatsoever and so on and so....

MadamVanessa:

Inasmuch as what the sister did is so so wrong, but also what the brother did is also wrong . It's okay to be all mad at your sister and threaten her for such an unethical and shameful behavior, but going as far as reporting it yourself to her husband is the greatest undoing. It's okay for others to report her ,but not a sibling or family member, except you people are enemies. Today you've reported her and you're the best, very righteous brother, but remember tomorrow the consequences may come. Same people hailing you today will used that to taunt and ridiculed you tomorrow.

I know a lot of self righteous people will attack this comment. But whether you like it or not family covers a lot . If family starts exposing each other, believe me a lot of people will not be safe including you that is going to attack this comment.
There's no such thing as self righteous in this matter.
If the purported sister had anything good in her brain she should have put to end her infidelity after the first instance and even lost the pregnancy.
You has sex without another man and got pregnant..... That's the height of stupidity stupidity foolishness.
You could not wait for longer and just three months later, she had done the same grievous evil against her marriage again....Se does not deserve the marriage !!!!
I'm very sure if her husband is the one who is playing infidelity she would all over the media space crying and shouting for divorce and wanting a large share of his assets.
Irrespective of whether the husband helped the boy in getting through in life, the boy did well and the family of the boy are such insensitive, lazy and gold diggers.
If the man we're their son would they allow any woman do to him what their daughter have done to him and still retain her.....
It doesn't really matter who reported, the reporting has been done by he who takes responsibility.

Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused the Governor Monday Okpebholo-led government of squandering over N30 billion left in the state’s coffer by the immediate past government of Godwin Obaseki, two weeks after he was sworn-in as governor.


https://dailypost.ng/2024/11/26/gov-okpebholo-squandered-over-n30bn-left-by-obaseki-in-14-days-pdp-alleges/
The Edo State PDP should stop complaining for this is just mere allegations.
Obaseki was first a governor under APC before going to PDP so it's 4 years to PDP and not 8 years, Mr. Caretaker Chairman.
Moreso, please have you forgotten that Obaseki quanderd State resources just to get the PDP ticket when he jumped boat and also used same to settle those in the PDP and that's why he did not include many of them in his administration because he has bought them with tgr right price.
