That’s roughly 31 billion naira. This is really massive.

Tax transparency and compliance reforms should be matched with equal transparency and accountability in government. A sustainable economic system requires not only that businesses account for their revenues but also that government institutions clearly account for how public revenues are collected, allocated, and spent. Without this balance, tax reforms may struggle to gain public trust.

YoungLionken:
You made a lot of sense. I for one shares similar ideology with you..

Maybe we should link up (on here first) and discuss the future regarding the aforementioned...

You captured the essence of what I said. Social media should be more than just entertainment and wishful thinking. It can be a powerful tool for collaboration, innovation, and building ventures...even more so that the platform is not limited by location unlike the era before now. I believe our generation has the greatest opportunity so far and it’s our responsibility to make expected impact. If there was technology of this nature in the past, believe you me, many who ended up as illiterates would probably not have been one.

I will be glad to connect further and explore how we can exchange ideas, identify opportunities, and perhaps even build something together that reflects this genuine and enviable growth. telegram: @wordviews

Instead of focusing solely on trendy or innovative topics, we should also be discussing how to build companies and form joint ventures, much like many successful businesses in the West. Unfortunately, conversations in this part of the world is often revolve around sex, money, marriage, and social media.

Social media itself was adopted from the West, but many of the productive uses, such as networking, business collaboration, and innovation-focused discussions, have not received the same attention.

Too often, the focus is on entertainment rather than creating value.
I rarely see Nigerian youths starting discussions about business partnerships or collaborative ventures. Most conversations seem centered on social life, leisure, and having fun. Shior.

I hope it won’t be too late before most people realize this?

They can never recover all the monies from the energy they buy, this model of buying energy by force is not sustainable.

There is something called AT & C losses, these are caused by leakages in the power distribution channels driving by the underlisted:

1. Obsolete and faulty transformers, cables and power infrastructure

2. Meter by passing facilitated by the DISCO staff themselves and other knowledgeable geeks some of which are ex disco staff.

3. Government entities like MDAs, politicians and those in the barracks who refuse to pay their bills because they own government.

4. Corrupt DISCO officials who divert government subventions and subsidies to building hotels and brothels instead of investing in power infrastructure.

Rather than trying to fix their AT & C losses DISCOs resort to billing innocent consumers by way or estimated billing and ridiculous charges .

There is s limit to which you can bill consumers especially when they dont see the value in what they are getting. They will tell you to come and carry your cables and goto hell as we are seeing now.

The DisCos certainly have commercial reasons for not addressing the highlighted causes of AT&C losses that directly affect their business.One thing I know is that an unsustainable business model, especially in circumstances like ours, is not the result of a lack of solutions. Rather, it is because there are many vested interests within the ecosystem. This reflects the situation in many other sectors of Nigeria's socio-economic structure. Until all stakeholders, including the government, genuinely align around a common goal, the country will continue to struggle to make meaningful progress.Let me use an example to illustrate my point. We all know that there are several alternatives to conventional energy sources, with solar energy being one of the most prominent. In fact, it is arguably the most suitable option for our region because of our abundant sunshine and favorable climate. However, because those benefiting from inefficiencies and corruption within the DisCos and GenCos stand to lose these opportunities, any better solution to the country's electricity challenges is unlikely to gain the necessary support. Such solutions would simply be regarded as a threat to their interests rather than an opportunity for national development.

If you’re broke, acknowledge this post and use it as an advantage to push yourself. While the post may sound uncouth, I find it helpful. Fighting financial hardship can be very difficult. But only one way to deal with it is to discover yourself. You’re poor currently because you are yet to discover your inner self. You work hard but not smart. You confuse speed, noise and momentum for indicators of success. Meanwhile in reality, they are distractions. They often manifest in crowd mentality and it shows from every key decision you take for yourself in life. From now on, if you want financial independence, stop being someone else, identify who you are and do things youre naturally born and design for by your maker.

Nigerian graphics designers need to up their game,wtf is that?

See some South African party logos.

For me, the NDC logo appears the most mature of all. No color exaggeration. No noise. But simple and elegant.

dominique:
I've never seen anybody forcefully want to stay in a country where they're not wanted, where they're risk of serious bodily harm. It's like she's enjoying this hostile attention she's getting

But I heard she’s their citizen by birth not by naturalisation. It’s a standard legal principle of citizenship globally. She’s a first class citizen by that definition.

So, problem here is weak enforcing of the rule of law in South Africa by her government.

Chasing her as seen in the video is a public humiliation and harassment which are all classes of human conducts criminalised and punishable if found guilty. Her case is not a criminal one. So, public harassment is and should never have even happened in the first place.

But in all this, where are the law enforcers.? Probably they are in support of all these and somewhere grinning at the unfairness melted on the innocent lady.

Goo0dHardDick:
Please, why do people switch off their "read receipt" on WhatsApp?

Once I noticed your WhatsApp read receipt is off, I'll immediately see you as a very unserious person in life. I mean, if you're a business man, how would you expect your customers to take you serious when they wouldn't know if you've read their messages or not?

Inasmuch as I don't post, If your contact was saved on my phone, be rest assured it'll be unsaved the next few seconds.

Others who activate it for fun and to monitor people, what exactly do you gain from that? I personally feel such people are depressed and emotionally frustrated and needs help with whatever they're battling.

Why do people turn themselves to ghost viewers?

But everybody can’t be like you.
Circumstances surrounding our days are not the same.
We don’t live in the same environment.
We were not born by the same parents.
So, why would you conclude something is wrong if other peoples conduct doesnt meet your expectations.
Conduct that’s not criminalised by law is perfectly fine. Anything aside that is subjective and relative.

I sent someone a message since Wednesday, today makes it 5 days, he just replied. And the next thing he sent was that he’s sorry for responding late. And my reply was that I’m not annoyed for any reason. I clearly stated that he might be busy or forgot to.

Even if I have my read reciept and he has his active, it won’t still matter to me. Some of us don’t bother on irrelevant issues.

To me, even if he doesn’t reply forever that message, I may send him another reminder if it’s urgent or simply call him directly.

Life is so simple. But what I will not do is to feel bad that someone didn’t reply my message and they red it.

NDIS coordinator. Then I guess the complaint was the agency wasn’t paying him well. But for an individual running a business with several employees, what could have happened. Was the earning not enough to maintain his lifestyle or what ? He has Australian citizenship. So what’s his problem really ? And the dude finished from OAU a long time ago in Quantity Survey department.

Smoking has no health benefits. It is a monumental addiction and a dangerous habit that ultimately takes away your happiness and brings suffering.

My solution to quit: first, accept the fact that smoking is a tool designed to destroy you.

Second, change your environment. The mindset shift must come first.I was once a chain smoker due to extreme life difficulties.

By applying this exact principle, I am now almost 6 years smoke-free. The funniest part?

When I run into people smoking now, I find it irritating and genuinely wish they could experience the freedom of breaking the habit.

Unpopular Opinion:

Nairaland should stop mainstreaming drug trafficking stereotypes about Nigerians. By any standard, Nigerians are not the most criminal folks in the world. And it is sad to see us do this to ourselves.

I am not saying there are no bad folks among us, what I am rather saying is that the more of these stories you mainstream the more stereotypical folks become about Nigeria/Nigerians.

Believe it or not, Nairaland is one of the leading sources of information about Nigeria. Be mindful of how you deploy your influence.

That’s how they started with yahoo yahoo. Anywhere belle face media CEO all they care about is money. They want traffic to their website at all cost… many Nigerians are doing great things in and outside of the nation but they won’t cover such news, when they lack good journalism skills to make such news item go viral.

Then I have noticed something about Nigerians New’s bloggers, they find bad New’s more newsworthy than any niche. Skull mining, rape, divorce and many other bad angles. Passing boundary is when news representing everyone in a state as bad. The government should regulate them…

Just imagine; they declared 99% of our traditional religion practices repugnant to natural justice and good conscience, so they made us abandon our beliefs. To keep us enslaved, they promote the surface area of their religion, but observe the core values within their fold. What you all see in display in that video is what Catholicism stands to promote. And that’s why I will never attach myself to any religion belief till I die. They are all deceptive.

What justification did Aregberascal as they call him had for withholding the interests sweat of people who worked for their money? And he’s presenting himself as a devoted Muslim. Is that what their Quran taught him?

mrvitalis:
DSS is alerting civilians that bandits want to attack higher institutions of learning ?

The what exactly are they supposed to do exactly ? Leave the school ? Or defend with sticks and knives?

Thank you for this question. Are they making official complaint to the public as the government agent to put necessary security measures in place to prevent the attack ? Shows the entire DSS doesn’t even know their legal duties and obligations as a government agency. Highly shameful. And this answers the question why kidnapping and banditry activities are on the rise in Nigeria.

What the northern Nigeria represents is everything backwardness. He didn’t highlight corrupt practices of his people using public fund to finance mass wedding celebrations, a deliberate attempt to sabotage the economics of the state to project their evil and backward religious agenda. You people have the time to be analysing his manifesto.

Iyobaba:
Let's assume he was found guilty, how's that going to change the outcome of the coming erection (pun intended) ?
Will that automatically disqualify him from the contest ?
What will be the position of the Nigerian court ? we are a sovereign nation after all.
The case has been concluded three decades ago!!!

If you think in system, you know uncertainty can humble people where they least expected it.

Those conditions you listed are too basic. In circumstances like this one, you may see 30 and more conditions possible each with severe consequences to undermine public trust and integrity capable of shaping the law unprecedented and causing Tinubus removal from office.

You think those people fighting to have the record release don’t already know what’s in there ? And the level of damage it potentially can cause Tinubu? And why do you think Tinubu is actively doing everything to conceal the record ? Dey play.

If there are no reasonable grounds to justify the Glomar response, then why are they still keeping the record secret. The law is law and exception is exception outside of this two facts, there’s nothing else. They should do the needful. The world is watching.

PrinceJoeWan:
After clearly stating am a beginner, the questions I encountered are for professionals and not newbies.
Seems like they only want to take a few.
Anyone that got above 80 on that test doesn't need the program, that person should be a tutor.

I think they need to review their questions. I quite understand they are trying to filter out the unserious but there are better ways of achieving this. Which track did you apply for ?

I applied for the Software Engineer track and attempted the assessment, scoring 60%. I found myself wondering why a software engineer assessment was so heavily loaded with complex algorithmic questions. I come from an arts/humanities background, and my domain modeling and system design skills are strong enough to hold their own against even some senior software engineers. Still, I’ll be reapplying this time I’ll take the time to study the syntax and technical fundamentals I’m missing.

May mercy and grace find Ogogo.

If one of the top oncologists in Nigeria says it is stage 4, trust me...it is very likely... and for this lady to come out for an alternative help for her dad, it means that most likely hospice care has been recommended with a deadline. But there is nothing mercy, grace, & favor cannot achieve.

I remember vividly that he was so sick some years back and he lost so much weight before he bounced back. My guess what that he beat something serious and may likely be cancer, and most likely, the thing came back active.

The truth is that cancer cells dont die like that, and this is the mistake the world is still making. Maybe not a mistake but sacrifices the world must pay first. Why did I say so? This present world will never go into organic and natural food production at this time. Chemical food will not stop. So, add one plus one, you shoukd get two if you are wise. I wont say more. They will continue until commercial production of food is safe. But now that they know it is not safe, they wont stop cos they have to make profit. Just that they are also spending heavily to find a way of making good food, patent it, and keep making money. But for them to say, lets go back to the traditional way where anyone can make his seeds and grow without buying chemicals......dey play.

To prevent cancer, dementia, diabetes, high blood pressure, and many other sicknesses, you must go organic at least 70% and use some other methods to keep flushing out toxins from the other 30%. To me, over 95% is the best, so you dont need to flush anything...your body does it for you effortlessly at 95 to 100. And i believe to recover from cancer and to not make it come back after doctors say you are free,at least 95% is non negotiable for at least 5 years. But when you have already done something for 5 years straight, its already part of you.

Note that these things arent killing us before chemical industrialization. I am not here to argue with anyone. If you like, attack me. I always tell such person..."na your die...not mine".

In Naija, there is nothing like organic food ooo. You cannot even go to grocery stores and find a section for organic food. Lol. Rather, the market is filled with bad products. Food with extremely pesticide residues used by farmers and warehouse owners. Just forget it...all grains in Nigeria are messed up. If you doubt me, google Nigerian bean/cowpea and see that it has been banned in EU for over 15 years now. Our yams cannot enter the US too. This issue is why we are losing forex seriously. Farmers use dangerous pesticides, but those warehouse owners use more deadlier chemicals. Then, fresh food traders too....those ones are experts in buying unripe fruits and then using chemicals to ripen them in batches. If they buy naturally riped fruits and veggies, they dont have power (electricity) to keep them fresh na. So, thats their secret. Lol. And fresh meat/fish sellers. Just know that you are likely consuming the same chemical used for preserving dead body in the morgue. If you know, you know.

Now, tell me why people wont die young? Many die and they weren't diagnosed cos they dont have money for good medicare. But you are hearing about famous people because they still went for proper check up. But most times, it is non stop of rating these bad food that wont allow them recover. Life expectancy is 53 years. Ogogo has passed it na...so, kudos to him. When they tell you that Nigeria has young population more than the old and we are close to or even over 300 million, tou dont get it. It means people die like chickens in Nigeria. Lol. If things continue like this, it means that over 90% of everyone below 30 years will die before 60 years. This is exactly what this means. So, what are we saying? If Nigerians arent dying like fowls and with the rate the north is producing kids, we should be over 600 million now. But people die like fowls in Naija. Even the rich. Take for instance how Isiaka Adeleke died. Pram! Look at the way Mohbad passed too. "Some nurses shook both injections". E craze oooo. Na naija for you.

Solution: go and get at least one plot. With this, you can feed your family at least 80% organic food. This is what I have been teaching free of charge my friends and relatives. And many people are getting better. I am giving you the tip here, so go use it. I cannot teach everyone cos I will be worked out. Even on half plot of land, you can grow different green vegetables and fruits like watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, onions. carrots, pawpaw, banana, plantain, etc. Go buy raw cassava and supervise its conversion to garri. Also, go buy enough yam from raw farmers you know dont use chemicals and process into powder yourself - amala, poundo yam etc. The rest are so hard. All grains ...chai. However, I still know some farmers I buy grains from. There are researches IITA did on growing some grains using bio approach rather than chemicals. For example groundnuts, maize, and some crops...there is something called aflotoxin (a poison) in them caused by some pathogens in the soil. And its so rampant in our soil, it is why groundnuts from nigeria cannot easily enter many EU nations too. And then, our maize...I pity people ooo. Chai. So, there is a laboratory made fungi IITA developed that once spread in the soil will fight the bad ones so the harvest can be okay for consumption. Just imagine... the feed of chickens, livestocks are made from maize. Lol. All eggs in Nigeria are rubbish. Chickens eat the toxins and plus antibiotics farmers use..and pass them to you. I pity those who eat those old layer live chickens. Ha! That is do bad. So, i buy some of these inputs and give to farmers who i work with and they grow for me. Do they cheat me? Yes, I know they do. Do I care? Nope. All i want is like 10 bags of each grains i eat annually so I can share with my close family members. So, the loss there is part of the cost of production. As long as I dont catch you using chemicals when I have paid you well, no wahala. And I test the products too when I feel there is a foul play.

So, tell me who can do what I am doing. Who? But when you are abroad, you can just walk to the grocery stores shelves and buy organic products, or you can go to where they sell them if not from grocery stores. Just know that if you pay $1 for inorganic, you may pay $8 for organic. So that if you spend $500 for inorganic food a month, you may spend $4,000+ for quality organic.

It is well with you all. If you can produce your own poultry meat, eggs, vegetables, and some fruits, you have solved about 65%.


Goodluck to you all.

I will like to contact you to learn more pls. Can i message you now.

Druggie on the beat. Awon eyan onoluga.

If to say person get enough money, na to buy now, then after IPO, wait for it to go higher then sell off a part of it.

It won’t be possible; you can’t withdraw until after 365 days and I’m so sure there may be other terms on the share agreement that discourages dumping.

tobenuel:
How can i buy shares with them?

Do you have $350k ? That’s the minimum he’s selling for at a million share and you can’t withdraw until after 365 days…

You can imagine. We have been telling you people. FGN is complicit banditry and kidnappin happening in Nigeria …

For Bovi to have addressed divorce in marriage using his personal life subtly as reference, it means his home is likely shaking.

Most people don’t know that this thing called divorce - happens across different family structures- wealthy or poor family. A constant contributory factor I have come to realise as the core cause of this family crisis is women.

The moment your woman has seen you finish, it means at some points you have failed to establish your authority as the family head in your home. No amount of money you spend on her would not make her resist cheating on you when things get to this level.

The recent Frank Edoho matter is a case in point. We can ask ourselves the following questions. This is particularly for those men who are of the view they are financially endowed, their wife would be loyal forever.

Now to the point, if we observe Frank’s personality does he look like a poor man who can’t afford to provide for his family?

And from all the leaked information did his estranged wife ever mentioned anything about Franks failure to provide ? No.

I have a recent case of a friend, who is currently going through similar situation as Frank’s. Her wife before my friend married her used to be loyal- by loyalty I meant she respected everyone including me and gave the impression that nothing would ever change her... in fact prior to their marriage, me and this lady used to gist. But after they married everything changed. She instructed my friend that nobody including me should be coming to their family house. When in fact, myself and my friend had been friends since primary school when she had no idea of who her current husband is.

Out of so much love and over care, my friend pampered her. Anything she requests for , my friend has done it. In fact what my friend didn’t used to do on a regular, he started doing them in the name of it’s what my wife wants.

In fact, I caught my friend in action one day and I queried him why he’s the one taking such role which apparently is the role of her wife.

Cut the long story short, this lady started misbehaving to the point that my friend starts sleeping outside for his peace of mind.

She even disrespect my friend in my presence whenever they were not in good terms. What makes the matter gross is she makes it obvious to me in my presence.

I don’t want to disclose too much about this but the reality is -married men need to put their wife in their rightful position.

Don’t get carried away by her complains because that’s how it usually starts. Those things she’s complaining of I can bet it with you that once you as the husband start complying to her request, she’s indirectly taken over your power as the family head and it’s just a matter of time.

Typical example of putting your wife in her rightful position is to never empower your wife to the extent that she will be bigger than you.

Some married men make this mistake a lot of time and it ends up becoming their undoing. If you are living abroad as the head of the family , one of the biggest mistake you will make is process your wife traveling. Once she gets to that abroad, she will begin competing with your leadership because abroad system have unrealistic support for women against their men counterparts.

One final point I will make is a woman who is complaining bitterly about your behavior after marriage knew you before the marriage as a man, and in fact let me shock you that same behavior she’s complaining about now in your marriage was the point of what got her attracted to you.

Therefore when your wife is complaining about your behavior particularly if that behavior has been there from day one, pay special attention.

By launching those complaints she only wants to shake you as most women feed on men energy and the only thing they know would give that result is to attack the very core existence of their man. The one they know will trigger you.

To most men , they are not aware of this , when this happens they feel the best way to make their wives happy is to change from who they are. Ironically what she wants is simple - she wants attention from what got her attracted to you in the first place before marriage. Men to women are like their movie box office, whenever they want attention from their man, he must offer them premium.

But as a man if you don’t get that complex love language and you work hard to change , my brother from that day on you will become so boring to your wife and there’s no amount of material gifts from you that will stop her from hating you.

The above is my personal observation over the years of dating women from different backgrounds and it has been constant up till date.

So, this is what the popular pulpit bandits in Nigeria and MURIC can’t use their platforms and voice to condemn is what a secular person, who they often say is not found clean before God , is doing, calling out the evil government to rescue children of 2 years old and their teachers in captivity else resign.

Should this even be spelt out for Ahmed Bola Tinubu before knowing it’s the right thing to do?

Can his son Seyi Tinubu be in the forest with bandits and he will have the peace of mind to eat talkless of sleeping ?


We Nigerians are not only asking for the rescue of those in captives, we are asking that failure of any Nigerian President to provide the most basic humanitarian service of security is a complete flat failure of such administration that should trigger immediate resignation.

If this country must continue, our constitution has to be amended to hold presidents , governors, ministers, commissioners, and other government elected officials, accountable for the provision of basic services to the people.

Tinubu is suffering Nigerians economically, politically and now you’re killing them.- this is just the height of wickedness.

What does he want ? Does he want all Nigerians dead before next year ? If what the bandits and evil people are demanding is establishment of Sharia law across Nigeria , that’s not possible.

We don’t want Sharia law in Nigeria. We don’t want any traces of Muslim religion; we don’t want religion that encourages killing of human beings ; bleathing Alakbar before slaughtering human. Infact Sharia and Muslim religions should be abolished and banned from Nigeria otherwise the country should divide. We don’t want religion of kill kill and violence.

jaephoenix:
So since then have you sinned again?

Yes, I have sinned countless times since then. But God forgives whenever I confess them.
