Why is federal government still withholding November salaries. Any idea ?

Might it be because Federal Government is bankrupt and hasn't got enough left over from its numerous loans to pay salary?

I wonder what was expected when most of the rebels against Assad were alqaeda and co who wanted to impose their version of Islam on everyone else.

Assad was an ass, but Syria is following the path of Iran after it deposed the Shah.

At some point, you have to admit any form of freedom women are enjoying in many places, including Nigeria and the USA, is due to the generosity of men(enlightened men).

The above is like saying the equality black people enjoy in America today is due to enlightened white people, when the facts are that the oppression black people experienced in America was due to the backwardness of the white people (and some ignorant black people, I dare add).

The oppression and lack of freedom that women experienced was due to the backwardness of men who oppressed them. And the freedom that women experience today is due to their own fight back.

As a follow up on Magnoliaa argument

If due to years of oppression of colored people, society decides to create opportunities for colored only. Few years down the line, People now argue that anyone can identify as colored

Can a non colored man who didn't go through these oppressions identify as a colored man to get these benefits

Or if in a bus stop they say because of age difference they prioritize minors entering a bus first before adults, Later adults now identify as minors and get the little benefits a minor gets at the bus stop

As a man you have the natural benefits of being a man, now you want to import that into women spaces and challenge them on an unequal ground

Funny enough, a non-coloured person identifying as a coloured person, has happened. A caucasian woman tried it and lost her job when found out. And there was a man of 60+ who wanted to self-identify as half his age, which I found amusing. The courts didn't, and thereby dissuaded me from self-identify as the King of England to my utter chagrin. I was looking forward to my royal visit to Nigeria.

Thailand likely has the most transgenders of all countries, though I don't think they go as far as cutting off or adding bits, and mainly stick to cross dressing. They seem to have three genders - hetero male, hetero female, and people born male who are actually female. What's different about them is they don't seem to have the urge to combine hetero females with born males who are actually females, who seem to have carved out a niche of their own. And the Thailand hetero women seem not to be in fear of their spaces being invaded. I can bet you that if a born male who is actually female commits a crime in Thailand he'd end up in the prison that is consistent with his born gender.

America has a problem. Its the same country that seems to have aliens from outer space visiting them regularly, and is where you'd find the most people claiming the earth is flat. They even want to reintroduce the Bible in schools, when places like China have adopted the newer religion based around the scientific method. A rational nation will insist that your gender doesn't change just because you say so. A compassionate nation will however accept you as Karen even though you were named Bob at birth.

I oppose the cutting or addition of gender bits to children. UK does not allow such nonsense, and would send you off for gender affirmation care, which is mainly psychiatry for both the child and its parents to understand why the child is dysphoric, and medication if your urges are so critical they stop the child from functioning. If you want bits added or deleted, you'd need to wait till you are 16+, and you'd might even need to self fund such deletion or additions from your own pocket since the NHS has better things to spend money on. It is however a crime to discriminate against a person because of the gender they choose to be. The wonderful transgender at the checkout of my local Tesco is the most pleasant and popular person there. The queues at her till are always longer than others as more people seem to want to be served by her. The second longest tends to be that of the hijab wearing woman.

I've in the past called this transgender issue an on-going conversation, which is bound to be resolved eventually. There's already reports of how dysphoric children and adults have faired over time, with some regretting their change and some not. And in the future, we'd have more evidence of how gender dysphoric children and adults have faired, which will inform those contemplating it, and show us how to handle them and the situation much better. It is however comical that a country that expouses freedom of speech and expression would discriminate against those who wish to express themselves as whatever gender they wish.

Many EU countries grant parental leave after maternity leave allowing parents to look after children for much longer.

I'm not sure if not as uncommon as it is in the US.
There is popular Bobriski for one.

It is obviously not as common. That's why Bobrisky (and one other) stand out so much in Nigeria.

It would be hard for a Nigerian child to go to its mother and claim it is the opposite of the gender it was born with, and a parent worrying about rent over that child's head and food in its belly would hardly entertain such nonsense.

Tariffs are working already.

What do the top 10% pay? Now add state tax, Now add property tax, sometimes sales tax Then add your extra 2%

Make dem just pay 100% then so everyone will stop asking for more

You are being absurd. Cancel tax completely. That should suit you better.

raumdeuter:
For someone who is already paying 37% federal, about 10% state then you might as well pay 100% and share your house and salary

The top 10% do not pay 37% tax. They hire tax evaders to help them reduce their tax way below that rate.

But if you think paying a fair share is "share your house and salary", then share your house and salary. I'm just asking for 2% tops from the top 10%, which likely excludes you anyway. In Nigeria, we'd be talking about the likes of Dangote and Tinubu, note.

raumdeuter:
What next share your salary with those who cant work, share your house with those who cant afford theirs

2% tax is not "share your salary or share your house". It is you contributing to making your society better.

Pawpaw rules!

raumdeuter:
When you reduce company tax by 2% the shortfall in the govt income who will make up for it?

Why add 1% to top 10% earners? Did they tell anyone to give birth to children? Some of these top 10% do not even have kids they don't even want kids or had kids they took care of by themselves. Elon for example has 11 kids, no one is helping him. If you can afford 50 kids absolutely go for it not increasing someone else's taxes to care for your kids

Why take care of the homeless since no one made them homeless?

Why clean the streets when you did not make them dirty?

Why educate people who can't educate themselves?

Why give anything to those who didn't save for a pension?

Why feed kids who are not fed by their parents?

If I were to offer a very simple answer, I'd say because you are a Christian nation, but we all know you are a Christian nation only when it suits your individualism.

raumdeuter:
All these require money, where will govt get money from? Increase taxes? Are the citizens willing to take additional burden of taxes? I am not

Govt has to pay for it somehow.

Reduce company tax by 2% so companies pay for it. Better still, add 1% tax to the top 10% earners in companies of $100m revenue plus and pay for it with that.

We need to increase the population. Its either open the border or encourage local child birth.

Ex0lain with example what you mean by income inequality across board

Paid maternity leave will be dependent on your employer. If you are employer how long will you give for maternity leave.

Income inequality is men and women not being paid the same for the job.

I'd rather not leave maternity pay to the whim of an employer. There should be federal laws for maternity leave. Thankfully, even Republicans should like their new mothers to spend time with their precious babies.

Along with maternity leave, I'd want DEI laws to ensure you hire women.

The alleged affair started after Tooley got involved in a project in Hyderabad aimed at providing low-cost private schools for poor communities. He is said to have known the woman's father and contributed to her university tuition fees before their relationship began after she graduated.

"Anyone who reads my diaries can see I was in love with him and wanted to be with him. He was kind and thoughtful and always treated me with respect. People will say he used me because he has power and money. But that's not the case. He is a good man who cares a lot about other people," the Indian woman wrote in her diary as quoted by The Times, reported the Daily Mail.

The cognitive dissonance of Trump Supporters never ceases to amaze me.

Remember when you were scared and I kept telling you I had faith in you (the people)?

In a way there weren't enough of you but my faith is unwavering (despite the fact Democrats might lose the next election too).

I think I get you. I learn one or two from those guys and discard the unnecessary ones. I'm not a zombie or a robot without a mind. I take the useful ones and discard the useless. Thanks

You are appreciated.

While noting the stock market is not the economy, this is so we can look back to check how greater America becomes.

Melonsmasher:
And this is what the France moves was all about

Could have been. Or he could have bought nuclear energy so we may have light as they got loads to sell. But to buy that he'd need to send our scientists to France to learn how to switch the light on.

Below is data for France light.

We need "12 pre-owned Alpha Jets from the French Air Force" to fight hunger and tribalism and boko haram and bandits and corrupt politicians and Lagos traffic and NEPA.

A tsunami warning affecting more than 5 million people has been lifted after a major earthquake rocked Northern California.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported the tremor, with a magnitude of 7.0, hit just over 60 miles to the west-southwest of Ferndale. There were more than 30 aftershocks after the initial quake.

Diasporans are coming home with dollars and others are sending down dollars back to the country, this festive season. That is the explanation for the drop against the naira.

Scarcity of dollars have reduced in circulation.

If you are a good businessman, this is the time to buy and wait. Next year dollar will be up by at least 40% in the first quarter.

I wouldn't be surprised if inflows triple previous high.

Was going to say for there.
