This people don tire me

These people just want to spoil the beautiful game of football with all these their nonsense ELUJIBITI.

Why can't they just allow the footballers play football and let anybody that want to identify as anything do that in his private life? . I just see the sense in forcing people to wear rainbow color when their personal individual beliefs don't agree with all these yeye woke culture

This new tax bill seems insane to me.

Where is FG getting money to fund these huge tax cuts?

Is this a way for Government to further reduce the scope of its social contract with Nigerians? We dont tax you so don't disturb us?

For me, it is another clear sign that the country is taking it's last few breaths, when FG indicates that the majority of you earn too little to be taxable.

Robert Baratheon - give me something for the pain and let me die.

I've not read the tax bill but the feelers I've been getting is that government intends to tax middle class & upper class more while those who earn too little won't be taxed.

Maybe it's just a way of saying the poor have not really been paying tax, so why not just make it official that they are exempted from tax?

If they are saying anybody earning less than 1m won't be taxed, it means they are saying only people who earn above minimum wage will pay tax. Minimum wage is N70k per month and that gives N840k per annum. Most people don't live on less than 85k per month and 85k per month is already N1.02m already which means they will surely pay tax.

From where I stand sef, more people will be dragged into the tax net with this new tax bill. The government may earn more tax sef

Buhari had in a letter to the National Assembly in January 2023 requested that the N22.7 trillion Ways and Means loan be converted to a 40-year bond with a moratorium of three years.

Following the request, the House of Representatives on May 4, 2023, approved the conversion of the N23.7trn loan to a long-term bond for 40 years at the rate of nine per cent per annum.

Analysts have consistently alleged that former President Buhari abused the ways and means advances and allegedly violated the CBN Act.

Section 38 (2) of the CBN Act makes it clear that “the total amount of such advances outstanding shall not at any time exceed five per cent of the previous year’s actual revenue of the federal government.”

However, the administration overshot the five per cent ceiling and grew ways and means from N856 billion to N23.8 trillion, representing 2,635 per cent in seven years

It irks me that we have Nigerians today who play the ostrich trying to act like Emefiele did all these things in isolation. Emefiele practically printed 23 trillion naira illegally with the blessing of Mohammadu Buhari.

When people in the opposition and well-meaning Nigerians were raising alarm back then, Femi Adesina and hoardes of APC unofficial spokespersons called them wailing wailers. Today we are all acting surprised like we didn't know Emefiele must have stolen more.

If Nigeria was a fair and just country, Buhari should be sharing prison cell with Emefiele. The useless House of assembly that kept approving without asking the right questions are also complicit.

my guy slipped up again . there is a confam, certified bluray player .

eventually doctor mentor will also slip up

Slip as how? 🤷‍♂️

semid4lyfe:
I'm so disappointed in Ogun.

I thought proximity to Lagos will rub off on it and place it in the top 10 but the opposite seems to be the case.

I think population and purchasing power/disposable income of the population plays an important role in VAT figures.

Some of the factories in Ogun state are dying a slow death due to the sorry state of their roads. I was somewhere around Ifo this last weekend. The less said about the road, the better 😢.

Thank God I listened to my madam who advised we park at a relative's place around AIT Alagbado while we join public bus to Sango and then Ifo. It was when we enter road I really saw the wisdom in her advice. 🤦‍♂️. How Dapo Abiodun campaigned for and won second term is still a mystery to me.

iamoyindamola:
Nothing

The story no clear. If police want to act sef, at least they will need the details of the girls like their names and pictures to whom exactly they are looking for.

I just hope it's not a made up story Sha

iamoyindamola:
This story of 6 girls missing in lekki house party is not gaining attention
Is it that police don't involve in this kind of case

It's disturbing because this is not the first time

What are their names? Where are the pictures of the ladies?

iamoyindamola:
I am sorry but the north have been the problem and likely solution to this country
But they won't
That derivation won't work because they hardly contribute to tax

There are actually big factories in Kano and Kaduna who contribute to the VAT pool. The issue is just that not many northern states are as developed industrially like states in the south.

The whole destruction of alcoholic beverages as per sharia law will also come back to bite them if this new tax bill scales through. 60% of VAT will be allocated to states where VAT is generated which means that they will lose out on 60% of VAT on alcoholic beverages since they neither allow the drinks to be produced in their part of the country nor sold there.

Olowunl01:
Because no one easily gives up their advantage. This is another test whether Tinubu get ballz so far it he has folded, I believe he will fold on this except he has no intention for 2nd term.

As a lagosian I am not gonna lie or ignore the advantages of HQs being domiciled in Lagos and the near monopoly of ports would mean for the state in the new sharing formula.

I just watched the guy's video and I now understand why Ndume and Zulum are crying. The derivation formula go really affect them o; that advantage of population & equality sharing formula they had before will vaporize

raumdeuter:
Na person wey never face life challenges go call himself a man.

When life deals with you, you will start believing what is obviously insane. Do you know how many Oyinbos left their country to start following TB Joshua who could barely string 2 sentences together and most Nigerians believe was a fraud

Make we no see challenges wey pass our power

That's why I am always hesitant to to paint everybody with one brush when it comes to religious matters. Some people's problems are way too much that they just need to believe in something to stay alive.

You will some people whose only son is epileptic , an ailment they have spent millions of naira on but has defied all medical treatment. Cele prophet will collect money, Cherubim woli will collect money, Ifa Priest will collect money; even alfa will collect money for prayers all to no avail.

raumdeuter:
Jagaban go fold for this one. If he pushes it through he should forget 2nd term that is if he doesnt get assasinated. The way North dey against this bill, It will be hard extremely hard to pass

The fact that his own VP is even against the bill is surprising. You remember it was the VP that chaired the NEC meeting wayback when they called for the bill to be set aside from day one.

I really don't understand why the north don't want some of these things to be unbundled.

iamoyindamola:
Even now
He shouldn't complain but improve himself, maybe he's comfortable sha

Funny thing is he's not complaining, but na we dey complain on his behalf. We feel unhappy about his situation.

It's difficult to I prove urself without money o

iamoyindamola:
I blame your friend for giving up and succumb to defeat

That's the same thing one of our friends also thinks about him. That one always tell me that the guy fumbled for going the church route.

Me I dey always tell that one that u can't really judge someone based on how they reacted to a pain u've never experienced. The only fault I see with his church parole is not going to big churches like Harvesters, KICC, House on The Rock, etc to go chop money there instead of local Pentecostal churches that don't offer much financial reward to their pastors.

iamoyindamola:
Omo this serious oh

That's how one of my guys became an Assistant pastor apapandodo . This is someone who had a distinction at HND level. The whole BSc/HND dichotomy affected him, and he's been unable to get a job where he will show how smart he is.

The church was the only place he could turn to for succor cos he seemed to be meeting brick wall anywhere he turned to. He doesn't even agree with some of the things the church teaches but he has no choice since he gets stipends to keep body and soul together from them.

Anytime we meet and unwind in the gathering of men, he dey always pour out his heart. You can tell that if he gets out of this country and things soft for him, he definitely won't be living in conformity with some of those church's standard

afrodoc2:
100%.

This is why Africans and other suffering places are the most gullibly religious.

Oyinbo wey everywhere soft for no dey too reason church like that anymore. I live near the beach and every Sunday the area is usually jam packed with beach goers.

Baba, it's just unfortunate . Na man-made problems most people dey pray against in religious centers in Nigeria. If most of those problems disappear by things being soft in naija, we will have less Nigerians being religious.

iamoyindamola:
God punish devil
Why will I donate my shoe to charity, e no fit happen

Pray and hope say u no get problem sha. When people get problem, dem no dey too reason well at all.

For example if person graduate with 2:1 he no get job for almost 4 years of graduation,he wil do any silly stuff provided the man/woman of God promises his breakthrough is near. Most people don't do these things with clear eye, na problem push them reach that level

Ibime:
He basically confirmed what Sowore and NNPC said

Old refinery is running at 60% capacity and producing some fuels according to his colleagues on ground. At the end he said what would impress him is if the catalytic reforming unit was brought into operation. That is the Koko of refining - the process of turning naphtha into PMS. At the moment they are bringing in cracked C4 which has already been through a catalytic reforming process elsewhere. In essence, PMS production is the holy grail of a refinery. Even a common bunkerer can produce diesel and kerosene.

If people doubt NNPC and their 1 million press statements per week, it's simply because NNPC provided ground for that doubt to exist in people's mind.

NNPC has made promises countless times that has turned out to be false in the long run. This is the same NNPC that kept giving deadline for the commencement of operations of the refinery which they never meet up with.

Anybody who thinks people doubting NNPC's press statement on this whole refinery operation commencement and alleged shutdown are enemies of the country is simply a fooool who lacks gumption to ask the right questions.

The management of NNPC unprovoked held a flag off ceremony last week which lasted for a whole day where they emphatically proclaimed that the refinery was ready to start loading at least 200 trucks of PMS daily. It's been almost a week now, the people resident in that area and those who work in the same refinery have confided in at least 2 different media organizations( The punch, and Sahara reporters) who visited the refinery that the refinery has shut down operations.

Anybody who would believe Olufemi Soneye's press statements over the on-site investigative report of independent media organizations despite not seeing NNPC's refined PMS in circulation should just donate his brain to any medical researcher for experiment; He obviously doesn't need the brain anymore.

DeadPresidents:
Don J cooked with that phrase "Wicked Abroadians" I can’t lie

Seeing some of the misadventures some fellows I just happen to be in cahoots with have lined up already for the month of December, I don’t think a more apt sobriquet exists

Love him or hate him, Don J na Legend for this thread.

In the future, when the history of this thread will be told, he will get a full and we'll deserved recognition.

Rare video of Alhaji Dangote on the dance floor

First time I’m seeing Dangote dance.
He comes across as a shy calm man.

Wahala no dey finish. Naija na cruise!

Maybe it's the "saboteurs" that shut down the refinery again.

GloriousGbola:
that is partly what i was trying to say.

we know the game nnpc is playing - a dog and pony show for tinubu who has likely told kyari deliver by date or resign.

this is a low tier stakeholder ratting nnpc out for clout. i am not in any way impressed with NNPC but i have been there - in a delayed project where everyone tries to put on a show for management to show that project has moved or is close to completion or is running pre startup operations. then one security nigga will go and start running his mouth because he has no filter and wants to feel important.

anyone who has an actual stake in the refinery coming on stream and getting work/employment after years of doing nothing will shut up and hope they work through their issues.

Baba forget that thing.

Buhari appropriated $1.5 billion of our common wealth to revitalize the ailing PH refinery. As at the last time of counting, the NNPC has failed to deliver on 8 different deadlines they communicated to the public by themselves unprovoked.

We should not be criticizing individuals who call them out for the shiit show they organized to deceive the whole Nigerians ( including the ruling party, opposition, neutrals, optimists and pessimists). Except of course we like to be deceived.

Ibime:
Alesa and Alode (both Eleme) youths be doing too much. That refinery is more in Okrika than Eleme. These niggas no get work except to be monitoring refinery and putting their name on everything. Okrika youths are busy rather than doing monitoring spirit like the Elemes

Well whatever their motivation is, one thing is obvious ; they weren't wrong blowing the whistle on NNPC's shiiit show. An independent media outfit has confirmed that the whole razzmatazz by NNPC was just a smokescreen to cover yet another failure on their part.

The fanfare that greeted the resumption of activities at the Port Harcourt Refining Company on Tuesday may have melted away leaving the hope and expectations of many Nigerians hanging.

A visit by Saturday PUNCH to the refinery on Friday revealed that there was no activity on site, as some workers met by our correspondent claimed that the refinery was undergoing calibration which might last till next week.

The Port Harcourt Refinery has faced numerous delays and missed deadlines to resume operations.

However, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, Melee Kyari, inaugurated the new plant at the Area 5 terminal of the refinery on Tuesday. It was claimed that 200 petrol trucks were loading daily from the plant.

However, the announcement was met with skepticism as reports circulated that the trucks were loaded with old products in the storage tanks.

Upon visiting the Port Harcourt Refinery Area 5, our correspondent observed no signs of activity.

An official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed that the loaded trucks contained “dead stock”.

He said, “Before the refinery was shut down between 2015/2016, we had dead stock left in the tank, including some Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) DPK (kerosene), and Automated Gas Oil (diesel).

“So, these products were in large quantities in stores in those tanks. During the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery, Old Area 5, those products were evacuated from the tanks for storage.”

However, he noted that the large quantity of refined petrol was “off-spec,” requiring separation from water to obtain the main product in preferred colours.

“But for DPK, it is in large quantity but they have not pushed it from the tank where it was kept after refined ready for commercial purposes.

“So, the product that was loaded was dead stock, that is the old product that was in the system. So, after these dead stocks, they will have to clean the tank, remove all the debris before pumping the new project into that tank, and redye it,” [/b]the source said.

The worker highlighted that refineries worldwide should operate electronically, not manually.

“But what they are trying to do at the Port Harcourt Refinery is manual, which cannot match the new digital pumps. Most of the pumps used for the event were refurbished,” he added.

[b]Speaking to our correspondent, a resident of Alode in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State, who simply identified himself as Osaro, said, “After that ceremony with Mele Kyari where they said the refinery had started operation and loading was taking place, what happened afterwards? They continued loading on air, that is on the pages of newspapers and social media.”

The secretary of the Alesa (host)community obviously knew what he was saying

These people worse pass yahoo boys cos na only one person at a time yahoo boys dey scam. These ones dey run scam on over 200 million people at a time

PressMyButton:
Go and sin more but I know this guy is very stubborn and manipulative, he'd start writing different narratives to implicate the security forces with the aim to curry public sympathy, especially that of his media colleagues.

Na wa for some of u who support nonsense Sha.

Someone is trying to expose the high level of government/security officials in oil bunkering activities and gets arrested by the military that should be protecting him and see what U are typing.

Tomorrow it's still people like u that will keep making excuse for government failure claiming oil production has dropped. Do u even know that it is bunkering activities that usually leads to reduction in Nigeria's oil production output?

This same Fisayo guy did an expose on Customs aiding smuggling activities and the government has refused to take any action.

I blame Fisayo tho for risking his life to try to save Nigeria that has people like u inside.

Ihebu4chelsea:
Lol. You talk true Shaa. But you suppose understand say most times, the women dhe tie their husbands spiritually.

I don't think it has anything to do with spirituality jare. Husband and wife matter are usually more complicated than what you an outsider sees or hears from both/either parties.

Na on top bed dem go resolve their differences in the middle of the night when u or any other third party is not there.

GloriousGbola:
Opeyemi Mabawonku na ya neigbour

we don catch you

eb like say dem don die the matter. i google the guy and his linkedin pwc profile is still up

Lolz 😂. I no know that one o.

Who knows maybe the guy too has made up with his wife and maybe she's pregnant with another child for him as we speak.

KingTom:
No be this same matter cause quanta between me and one of niggas for here? He caught his wife cheating with hard evidence, that's how I was advising him to take it easy, ran all STD tests on him which thankfully came out negative. Then on one occasion I chatted him up that we should go out and have a good night in town. Omo this nigga settled with his wife and has been posting her pics everyday, one day I replied her status and she minced no words when she called me a homebreaker trying to arrange runs girls for her husband amidst other names, see who dey with belle dey fúck 'bestie' well I learned the hard way anyway

Dem no dey put mouth for husband and wife matter. I no dey advise any of my friends on anything that has to do with woman at all.

It's a line I don't cross. The highest I dey talk when people talk about their marriage/relationship is " It is well".

Ihebu4chelsea:
https://www.nairaland.com/8280601/family-disowns-son-exposing-cheating#133084971. Itrsm, blueraydick and some married guys here, what do y'all think about this?

One of my neighbors got married in the middle of this year . It seems his wife is still observing her NYSC in a different state .

Even though I don’t stay home much , since he’s married I’ve seen him with 3 different women at the staircase we both share ; he will just greet me “ senior man I hail “ and I will respond “ Na me greet u pass “ .

In my mind , I do take a mental note that the day himself and the wife will know I’m a bad person is the day she decides to just show up unannounced and catches him cheating . I know she will cry blood and it will turn to serious fight but I will not step an inch out of my apartment to tell them to take it easy .

I no dey put mouth for husband and wife matter . My former neighbour don nearly beat him wife on a Thursday (he actually threw a projectile at her and missed by few meters) and on Sunday he posted her as the best woman in the world while celebrating Mother’s Day 😂

[color=royalblue]Fisayo was arrested at an Oil bunkering site

Issokayyyy [/color]

So was he arrested for his safety or what exactly?

Amigoss:
"Hold your state governors and LG chairman responsible,go to their secretariat and ask how they used up their allocations and the paddings in their budget" dey see how soldiers don bundle fisayo who was holding custom responsible even with solid evidences...Una go dey here dey cap like say no be Nigeria again...

It was just 8 days ago I called this

BlueRayDick:
That guy is right, Fisayo may get himself killed sooner or later either by Crooked customs officers, smugglers or a third party paid by them. He's taking a great risk that is not worth it with all these smuggling expose he's doing.

The way that IBD Dende expose he did was ignored even with Video evidence ehn....I fear for Fisayo's life
