Can someone clarify this electricity tariff? If I buy enough to last me for one year before 1st of July, am I exempt from the increase?

Or the rate of consumption will increase regardless.

afrodoc:
To be fair most people talking about paying more tax are not talking about increasing tax rate but about widening the tax net. There are so many Nigerians not paying tax OR not paying their fair share.

We don too see shege from all this northern elites....sotey e come belike say we be second hand citizens

I support this one...baba surprise me on this.....make e continue with this non-northern administration..........

Both can work together if the funds us available. We practically borrowed to fund our budget last year because subsidy and loan repayment has eaten up without revenue we got.

Meanwhile Iyabo Ojo has been having issues with LIRS since 2019 concerning her unpaid taxes, it didnt start this year.

Remember we had this argument last year when I said the govt should increase its tax net and you mistakenly thought I was saying the govt should increase tax when all I was saying was the govt should make sure that those who are taxable are paying the tax that is due to them.

This is the point I'm trying to make, investing in the SMEs is not the solution to anything without considerable reforms in most of policies that affect us both fiscal and monetary.

The Buhari that everyone is blaming created an MSME clinic in the 6 region of the country where MSME can meet, aggregate and showcase their product and also get on the spot solution for whatever challenges they are getting.

As at today, there are 30 shared facility for MSME in the country.

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, during his Democracy Day speech on Saturday, claimed that his administration has successfully lifted 10.5 million Nigerians out of poverty in the last two years but data shows Nigerians have been worse off during this period.

“In the last two years we lifted 10.5 million people out of poverty – farmers, small-scale traders, artisans, market women, and the like,” Buhari said

The poverty rate, unemployment rate, inflation rate, and economic growth have been unimpressive, an indication that shows that Nigerians might have grown poorer in the past two years

“You can’t say you are pulling more people out of poverty when the unemployment rate has jumped to record levels under his administration. That is just a political statement.”

Gbolahan Ologunro, an economist at Lagos-based Cordros pointed out that the administration appears to have made some efforts to alleviate poverty and unemployment. In that regard, the administration might come to the conclusion that the programs have impacted the population positively.

“But the claim that 10 million people have been lifted out of poverty does not coincide with economic data. The inflation rate, unemployment has been largely unimpressive over the last four years,” Olugunro said

Good News;

Nigerians may need to brace up for tougher times as electricity tariff is set to increase by over 40 percent in the coming days, a development which may eventually end all forms of energy subsidy in the country.

Another initiative the Gallon d'Or winner needs to support by paying 100% increment while we who "prays" it fails source for cheaper alternatives

Unfortunately, Nigerians don't make any research before they jump on any trending thing.

Look at Chef Dammy. Hilda broke the Guiness world record, she decided to do the same without following laid down rules before she started. Didn't even bother to apply

There's nothing this your friend has experienced that would have surprised me if I was in his shoes. I won't even leave the country if I don't have enough money to last me at least one year where I'm going.

People travelling should have realistic expectations. Except you work in an industry where your skills are easily transferrable and you're extremely good with what you do, it will always be a difficult first two years.

I think those who weather the storm will be glad they did 10-15 years from now.

Na so we see am. I am a paranoid mfer. We are currently working with some dude who is building a station. Young guy. I was telling my partner, how do we know this guy is not a yahoo guy? If he is and they bust him tomorrow, these fuckers can literally freeze all our accounts.

And As a naija matter where people like Forbes do not even do due diligence before putting people like invictus obi on their cover, you really have no idea who you are dealing with.

make he dey rough am dey go..

Or he can book the next flight ✈️ back 🔙

GloriousGbola:
This is the reality of japa 90% of the time. People thinking we go rough am, we can beat the system and of course your friendly Nigerian sociopath who is fking you in the ass after collecting your money.

None of those fking travel agents is your friend - they are bastards who are fuc-king you over. It is literally a con job. There was one horror story of some guy who paid money, big money for Kazakhstan or somewhere like that. The guy eventually made it back to naija but the entire thing fked him up so badly he committed suicide.

GloriousGbola:
Imho under bawa efcc was really and truly out of control. They were breaking into places in the dead of the night without warrant. There were reports of them molesting women they met. And that's what we knew of.

Sorry bawa

Circuits dey cross small

GloriousGbola:
i think this is a case where bala and his gang chook their head where e no concern them and over did

because they had malami and therefore buhari behind them. now its a new admin

in hindsight, na diezani and omokri wey get small sense. they left the country before buhari entered office.

that is what emefiele and bala should have done.

or maybe tinubu is seriously machavellian. just smiling and letting them think no problems, you guys are fine until the trap is shut

GloriousGbola:
That is the reason for a lot of nonsense that goes on. Christian do not do pilgrimage, but because Muslims do and a lot of govts have been financing it, now we have Nigerian Christians doing pilgrimage in the name of equity not because it is part of their religion.

We should be pushing for proper secularism, separation of religion and state.

Other wise, be reminded that there are actually multiple belief systems in this country, even within religions. Are we going to accomodate all of them in the same way?

monerozi5590:
No, you ain't smart at all. That bill has passed the second reading already.In Nigeria there are eleven stages before bill becomes law, the final stage is when the president assent the bill.


You are not saying anything. Like I told you already, our constitution forbid official state religion( no explicit mention of secular state) but the de facto state religion (reality) are Christianity and Islam. That's why we have Chaplains and Imam in Aso Rock. The government foot their bills and all.

No religion should be superior to one another. What's done to Islam should be done to Christian.

We have Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs / There's CAN too.

There's National Board for Arabic and Islamic Studies, there should National Council for Christian Education too.

At least let there be mention of Christianity in our constitution just like Islam.

Ibime:
Now I see you like unrealistic twists and turns, overt cliffhangers to end an episode and leave you hooked for the next one, that's why you are dissing Breaking Bad and The Wire

Anywhere I see that kind of writing, I avoid it. After Lost use my brain play from season 4 to season 6 only to end up in nonsense, I can't respect that kind of writing. I saw my mates watching Prison Break, I viewed an episode or two, when I saw they were using unrealistic cliffhangers to end each episode, I stayed away from it.

Itsrm:
I didn't watch GOT. Fantasies are not my thing.

It was generally agreed that the final season was underwhelming.

monerozi5590:
You just like to argue for argument sake. Who makes the law? Did you read CAN explanation?

They are pushing for An Act to Establish the National Council for Christian Education for the Purpose of Regulating and Setting Standard and for Related Matters. Just like National Board for Islamic and Arabic Studies.

Once is passed and the president signed it, it becomes part of the constitution.

Nigeria forbid official state religion and that's that but we all know Christianity and Islam are the de facto state religion in Nigeria because of their population.

Read CAN explanation here.

I want Christian to have a board too like our Muslim brother. Who you think sai the pay people wei d work for NBAIS? Na government oh.

Leave this secular talk and all. We have Sharia Law in some parts of Nigeria. Even customary law sef. This one is another discussion entirely.

afrodoc:
Prison Break bawo. Show that they were doing twist and turns like telenovela.

The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, GOT.

Those are the GOATs.

afrodoc:
LOL. That is what I used to say. By Season 2 I realised that they were just tying themselves in tortuous knots. I think my sister still watched to Season 4 or so before she gave up.

You never watched 24? That started before all these ones you mentioned. The first 4-5 seasons were really good too until they also ran out of real creativity.

This is not an offensive bill. I don't know what this man is saying oh. People have started criticizing and saying Islamic Agenda already.

CAN has clarified this issue already and I support their position wholeheartedly. The bill is being sponsored and supported by our Christian Senators and House of Reps Members.

According to CAN it is it An Act to Establish the National Council for Christian Education for the Purpose of Regulating and Setting Standard and for related matters like developing Christian curriculum and monitor what our children are being taught in secular schools.

We have NBIAS. National Board for Islamic and Arabic Studies. Make Christians get their own too abeg.

larride:
True though the explanation for his "planned death" made sense but still that last season was unnecessary.

It was an awesome show. It was my first ever show followed by One Tree Hill, 24 and Jumong.
