Not uncommon. It’s a skill many don’t learn. Houses with a sole male and many female children, the boy of the house learns the skill in a bid to while time. I don’t see why such a person wouldn’t braid his wife or daughter ’s hair for the fun of it.

There's a male hairdresser round the corner from me. He's always busy plaiting hair. The women patronising him is enough to make you men jealous.

missjekyll:
Isn't that what everyone voted for a month ago? Change? Did they need to turn to attempted murder and theft to make an additional point?

I'm certain I missed your point, so apologies in advance.

A month ago, the majority of us voted out the more anti-immigrant Torys, and voted in a more pro-immigrant Labour. The most anti-immigrant Reform Party got a grand total of 5 mps. Some constituencies even elected Muslim mps and mayors.

The change we elected is what these nazis are opposing.

justwise:
Can you provide any official source to support that claim?

They tell themself lies to justify their bigotry.

LionInZion:
The irresponsible rioters have unequivocally demonstrated both in words and actions that this is white skins vs people of colour. They care less whether you were born here or through what means you entered, you're a target as long as you don't share the same skin colour. Yet some people on this thread are trying hard to make us think otherwise. Why am I even surprised?

I just hope everyone is staying safe and watchful.

I am trying to make you think otherwise.

We don't care what ignorant nazi fuqs care about. Thankfully, they are a minority.

Kushites:
You’re wrong about the racism part.

As we speak the entire UK is in riot over immigration, and crowds of far right nazis are going around ransacking mosques, while immigrants are scared to come out on the streets, and even NIGERIA has issued a travel advisory warning for people to avoid UK.

I don’t see Igbos scared to come out on the streets of Lagos.

The entire UK is not in riot over immigration, and crowds of far right nazis are only in small pockets.

I am not scared to go out, and my local mosque is not being ransacked and is being protected by Muslims and non-Muslims who don't want their community ransacked by idiots who are out there looting shops that have nothing to do with immigrants or race.

Why send your family back home to where you have not made efforts to develop with good free education, healthcare, police, fire brigade etc?

I think the reason to send your family back home to where you have not made efforts to develop with good free education, healthcare, police, fire brigade etc can only be stupidity, or ignorance, or lack of opportunity to stay or you just want your family to suffer.

One would need to be stupid or ignorant or not have a visa to remain, or not love one's family enough to send one's family back to undeveloped Nigeria while you remain in UK.

Any response to the 50% income tax question that was justified with 20% VAT, which is not applicable to everything?

"50% income tax" is not the same as mrvitalis "50% of their income as tax".

"Income tax" has a very specific meaning and is 20% on your income above £12,570 and 40% over £50,270.

Other taxes can make the total of your income paid as tax to be equal to 50%, especially if you are a high income earner and do not invest in a good tax accountant.

anonimi:
Is the tax rate on ALL income or after allowable deductions?
Is the 20% VAT rate on every type of expenditure or some are exempt like food, books, children's clothes, health products, fuel, heating and car seats for children?
Is there a VAT on savings and investments as well?

If all this extrapolation to justify the falsehood about paying 50% tax on TOTAL personal income is true, then why are blacks flooding cold & racist UK instead of staying home to fix our countries?

You flood there because you don't know how to fix our country, and you get value for the tax you pay.

You get good free education and healthcare till you are 16. Roads and transport are good. Police and fire brigade are efficient and protective. You can buy a thick affordable jacket and heating to mitigate the cold, and the racism is not as bad as some make out. You'd likely get more racism being an Igbo in Lagos, and there'd be no police to complain to.

And after all the tax, you'd be better educated and employable if you invested in self education, and you'd have money left over to send to your family back home.

ObosiLandlord:
Stop arguing blindly. The money is for the 774 local government areas in Nigeria. The FG might have paid it into a joint accounts in each state, but this allocation is what local governments in each state are entitled to share among themselves.

Who shares it amongst the local governments?

How would they determine how much each local government gets?

anonimi:
How is all that equal to 505 tax on total income that he said

Add tax of 20% on your income above £12,570 and 40% if over £50,270, plus 20% vat on any expenditure, plus community charge, and you'd soon arrive at pretty close to 50% tax or more.

The Olympics is on where those who exert effort in their training win medals.

Funny thing is, if you believed the spaghetti you posted above you'd have not taken the action to post it, and its writer wouldn't have written it in the first place.

It sure takes effort to try to understand it.

AmazonTopaz:
Yes, they can do so. It is a requirement in war, ....

Please show where you got this your requirement from to label terrorists amongst your dead.

AmazonTopaz:
@budaatum, what do you mean by "label terrorists?"

What happened on October 7th was that not terrorism? Who claimed responsiblity for it, was iy not Hamas? What do they call Hamas fighters again? Are they not terrorists?

Refusing to see them as terrorists while feigning ignorance is you indirectly admitting that every Gazan is a terrorists.
Nobody can dispute the fact that Hamas terrorists are part of the casualty count, not even the most dumb Pro-Palestinian advocate.

I must say that discussing with you on this topic is like talking to basilico, which is surprising. You even add dumb smilies like he does.

How can every Gazan be a terrorist?

Have you not seen Gazans who were attacked by Hamas for opposing Hamas? Oh! Of course you haven't. You'd need to watch Aljazeera to see that.

Kushites:
South Africa has no open gutters.

The difference between Nigeria and Rwanda/Kenya is that when they build new roads, they build them the right way.

In Nigeria, apart from Abuja, Lagos and Akwa Ibom, the NEW roads in other states are still built with open drains for the most part, and not a thought for where pedestrians will walk!

It's like they're determined to remain backward.

I don't know about new roads in other places, and I bet I'm sounding like I'm defending the backwardness of Nigeria, which I'm not.

I call our open gutters 'mosquito farms', where we breed malaria to kill ourselves, and I doubt we can be anymore backward than that. And until we demand and pay for better, I doubt we'd have them covered.

Hopefully we'd learn from Akwa Ibom. And thanks for creating a thread about it.

Kushites:
So you think Nigeria can't afford to cover its drains and build sidewalks?

How come Rwanda can afford it and they have no oil?

How come South Africa and even Kenya can afford it?

You are asking us to accept that Rwanda, South Africa and Kenya have better roads than we have when the truth is they have a lot of roads that are in the same condition ours are in.

mrvitalis does make a point.

In UK, Fuel duty is currently levied at a flat rate of 52.95p per litre for both petrol and diesel. 20% VAT is then charged on both the duty and the standard price while Nigeria subsidises.

Unleaded is £144.76p. Enough to make one protest if charged in Nigeria. Road tax is £190 per annum.

AmazonTopaz:
There is no breakdown of Hamas terrorists.

I am asking about the toll of the terrorists. Why is the Hamas ministry of Gaza always quick to report dead women and children and not the terrorists?

Do you seriously expect Hamas to differentiate between its citizens killed and those others label terrorists?

You are much smarter than this, I want to believe.

flyinnizam:
the fact that naira was bigger than dollar at a time proofs that. how long did u think China starts having infrastructure? what of UAE popularly called Dubai?

Does "naira was bigger than dollar at a time" prove Nigeria was at a time better than USA too?

I guess we should just revalue our Naira by cutting off a few zeros so 1 dollar equals 15kobo. Then we can convince ourselves that Nigeria is today better than USA, lol.

Funny that you never said when this was. Where you born at the time I wonder.

During that period, whenever that was, Nigeria did not have the sort of electricity that USA had, and we did not produce as much as USA produced neither. Wages of employees in Nigeria was also no where near what it was in USA, and USA's education was far superior to Nigeria's.

AmazonTopaz:
If we are to go by your first sentence then the Jews have more claim to the land then. Afterall History records that Jews lived in that land and the Romans drove them out and they fled.

Romans drove them out when exactly? And how long has that land been handed down in my own family that Jews Romans supposedly drove out can now come and claim it from me?

Its complex is my point. When I had this discussion with the stupid idiot, it began with native Americans claiming their land back from white settlers. After all, they, the native Americans, owned it first, and if the white settlers want to continue owning it they should at least pay todays going price, right?

AmazonTopaz:
Ok from your source what is the death toll of Hamas terrorists please direct me there I want to see it.

You should go ask the Israelis who claim they killed Hamas terrorists how many Hamas terrorists they have killed.

35,091 Palestinians have been killed, and 78,827 were injured, and I believe these figures are on the conservative end.

AmazonTopaz:
Aljazeera na Qatar propaganda wing.

Clowns.

Shame on you Amazon for not bothering to check other news networks for whatever you hear on Aljazeera, or you might have found what was confirmed.

AmazonTopaz:
Buda, has the Hamas ministry of Health in Gaza given you the death toll figures of Hamas fighters, can you answer why it is only women and children making the death toll?

It is not "only women and children making the death toll", and nor must I get my information from "the Hamas ministry of Health".

There's news being reported from Palestine for those who wish to be informed.

AmazonTopaz:
It was never their land.

IT WAS NEVER THEIR LAND

Its not going to be easy for you to convince me that land that my great grandfather inherited from his father and that my father inherited from my grandfather and willed to me was never my land because I never called it Palestine.

We grew olives on the land in question. And if you knew anything about ancient olive trees you'd know it does not fruit in the generation that planted it.

But you are going to forgive me for not labouring the point with you. Bemeruca exhausted me already with the argument you are starting all over again here and I don't have the desire to repeat myself.

AmazonTopaz:
They conflate everything together to deceive folks like you.

Ahh. I get you now.

You ignore whatever Palestinians say by convincing yourself it is conflated, and those of us who don't think like you do are deceived.

The next step from the above is, we are ignorant. I'm sure you've heard that too after they say you are deceived that the Jan6 sightseers were tourists and the trouble makers were the FBI.

AmazonTopaz:
There is no proof of Israel having the intent to erase Palestinians because of their religion and race.

Really? So, chasing Palestinians off their land so it can be occupied by newly arrived Israelis is not sufficient proof for you or do you just not believe what you can find with google?

Please AmazonTopaz. I know you are far more intelligent than basilico.

AmazonTopaz:
Chanting "From the River to the sea" is carrying water for terrorists who say that their goal is to annihilate the Israeli state.

Perhaps you should stop listening to tiktok chants and go read why intelligent people oppose what Israel is doing in Palestine.

I don't want to "annihilate the Israeli state". I just don't want the genocidal annihilation of Palestinians by Israel.

So long as we keep thinking some individual messiah will turn Nigeria around for us, the more we will continue to compound our suffering.

The only people who can turn Nigeria around are all we the Nigerian people ourselves.

For thought. Dangote can not by himself process our crude oil into petrol despite all his efforts. We the people can insist on only buying Nigerian processed petrol, but I am certain some will ask for imports regardless because it might be cheaper in the short term.

flyinnizam:
truth say Nigeria was better than china and Japan at a time but China and Japan had to changed priorities and elect the right leaders. Black man is cursed

Black man (that being Nigerians) is not cursed. We are just young and ignorant and will educate ourselves one day, and can start by you truth saying when Nigeria was better than China and Japan that are hundreds of years older than Nigeria.

CodeTemplar:
I am seeing LGA and not state or FG.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Does it mean state is allocated separately?

By the way, I am getting requests for money from Osun State local government employees. The reason they give is local government has not paid them.

I do often wonder why chocolate is rare in a cocoa growing country.

Its likely because we were shown how to plant the bean but never learnt how to process the fruit.

Lumarstone:
Students in Polytechnics, COE, State 0wned universities, post graduate students and others; how are they going to benefit from this program?

If they don't benefit from this program already, they will intelligently organise (as opposed to ignorantly protest), and lobby to benefit from this program because they ought to benefit from this program.

LordAdam16:
I am on Team Red; and even I know this is not about Israel as an entity or the US-Israel special relationship.
This is about the brutal war Netanyahu has waged.
The fatality count is too high. It has to stop.
15 young men were killed in the last 24 hours in West Bank. West Bank had nothing to do with Oct. 7.

That is the issue.
Young people do not need to read a history book to know that Israel has killed more children in the last 10 months of this war than all conflicts combined in the last 2 years.
If you can live with that, that's fine. But do not expect everyone to countenance this barbarity.

This is about the first post of yours I can quote without deleting your -Lord.

I am team blue.
