So, because of 7.5% VAT is the reason Una wickedly jack-up the price from #650 to #950

Is this 7.5% increase, even if you want to put the entire 7.5% VaT burden on consumers

Even with 10% increase, that will land you around #715...

So why #950 for goodness sake

These are the questions we should ask.

7.5% VAT on N650 brings it to about N698. Let’s assume they are passing the whole 7.5% VAT to the consumer.

Are they saying FX is why they added additional N252 per liter?

According to the article, the major reason for the hike is the addition of the 7.5% VAT which should be additional N48. Yet they added N350 per liter.

Everyone sees Nigeria as a dying cow where they can stick their knives into to carve whatever they can.

The Govt and the People are basically same.

The reasons more women are adopted has been stated in the later part of the article:

Women can fly under the radar easier for crimes than men.

Please do not 'beautify' it with poverty & less economically disadvantaged and other hogwash.

A land we fought for and won, and a useless woman will come and offer sacrifices at junctions on the way for prayers?

Kwara is not Yoruba land , it belongs to islam and ISLAM in NIGERIA is the EMIRATE...SIMPLE!

Any person that tries that will get sharia treatment.

Nonsense

Kwara belongs to Islam, e Pele o! We did not know that Islam is now a tribe in Nigeria like Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo etc.

It is not your fault; it is the omo ale that sold Ilorin to you people because of his selfish, short-sighted, greedy ambition I blame.

Congratulations OP and condolences about your dad.

I wish you all the best!

True!!!!!! lol.. the room looks decent sha.

The guy must be a very clean guy but na money hol am.

I love the setting. Very decent for starters.

Some girls will die hia! LoL.. una never Hala! 😂

If the room has its own toliet and kitchen (which I doubt because of the microwave on the fridge,) then he is good to go.

Seeing some people comment about mattresses on the floor; never knew it was a thing.

I love my very high and wide mattress on the floor; the way the dude dressed it up.

Polygamy is illegal because there's no equality in it,one person will be married to three people and have rights over them unlike the one on one model

What a pity

Never heard of consensual polygamy?

Polygamy which legitimates multiple wives and gives them dignity is not OK. But a rich man having several side chics is OK?

Please give me a good engagement and stop regurgitating what your Western masters told you.

Flamemignon1:
Polygamory is legal,just the marriage part of it that's banned and look at how you framed polyamory to polygamy to favor only men,how on earth is that equality? Also, homosexuality isn't a western lifestyle, homophobia is what was invented to us with their religion but y'all refuse to escape from the shackles of white supremacy so another topic for another day and I don't see any hypocrisy in that because even it's not even allowed for queer people.

If your laws are made from hate for a particular minority because they are different then it deserves all the criticism it gets, moreover you saying homosexuality is irrelevant to African countries is disingenuous because queer people exists,to deny them the same rights that straight people enjoy is stitched in hate

Polygamy is legal, it is just the marriage part that is banned?

Have you eaten this evening?

What makes polygamy 'polygamy' if not the marriage part? A man/woman with multiple sex partners without marriage is just keeping multiple sidechics and sidedudes.

Going by your example, aren't people allowed to sleep with whosoever they like? Is there any police breaking down doors arresting people for homosexuality if they are just sleeping with themselves inside their house?

What is the difference between the scenario with polygamy in your beloved West and homosexuality in Africa?

MrBrownJay1:
ARRANT YEYE NONSENSE!!!
during the world cup, NOBODY could go on the pitch wearing anything remotely linked to lgbt, or face the wrath of Qatar... and the whole world stood by and accepted it. we ALL know what the agenda is, but most importantly, who are you (the west) to think you can dictate what others do in their own countries?! when Africans allow polygamy in Africa and then go to the west, the west refuses to allow these people to live their polygamous lifestyle in the west (aka marry multiple wives), but now these same hypocrites want to turn around and force Africans to accept their own selfish western lifestyles?!?!? how can you not see the hipocrisy in such agenda?!?!

anyone has the right to decide what LAWS should be implemented in their countries (as long as voted by the people), and whether the west likes it or not, is irrelevant to African countries.

How can he see the hypocrisy when World Bank is representing his likes?

Flamemignon1:
Who brought the concept of the antichrist to you? This comment section just shows a lot of you Africans are still living under the shackles of white supremacy

No sir,

You are the one living under the shackles of your sodomic masters.

You can practice your LGBTQ+ in private and in peace, don't force the general public to accept you.

As we speak, I am sure there are a number of gaybriels and lesbos in Naija; we as a society doesn't need to know who is sleeping with whom or 'rights' about it.

Besides, the almighty West criminalised polygamy, who has 'penalised' then because of that?

MrBrownJay1:
THE WEST ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST NARROW MINDED HYPOCRITES ON EARTH... thats why they can only try to force their yeye gay agenda on African countries.

why didnt they try to enforce their homosexual agenda in Qatar during the world cup? why dont they do the same in Saudi Arabia?!
BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES!

Theu have sense na!

I thought the World Bank was supposedly impartial?

Imagine the reverse: World Bank refusing LGBTQ+ countries loan; the media would have killed them by now.

Anyways, wake up call to Africa. Want to stand your ground? Learn to be sufficient to do so.

Wrong wording of topic.

Polygamy is a system of marriage designed for men hence it can not benefit women the most. Infact, the other addition to a Polygamous man's harem is usually younger & more nubile. Using Ned Nwoko as an example, he doesn't check your readon while polygamy benefits women so the barren women, widows & divorcees around him are still there so his polygamy is of no benefit to them. And this pattern is repeated across Polygamous men all over Nigeria. Except for cultural reasons (levirage marriages), most polygamists pick younger women the more wives they pick.

It is saying feminism is created to benefit men or Red pill to benefit women.

However, certain women can benefit from a Polygamous set-up; some of the examples which you gave.

So a better topic would be 'the categories of women who benefit from Polygamy'.

P.S.: the women more than men narrative is not true according to world population stats.

Pastor Chris Oyakilome seems to be a great fan of music.

A lot of Gospel artistes today grew in his church.

Banjoramos:
I hope you read what he said there is nothing like tribe in ilorin Islam unite us all.

Does this make sense to you?

Isn't religion & tribe different?

Don't Arabs acknowledge that they are Arabs?

Na wa o! Eleyi tun ga.

u can read and understand a book better than the owner. Owning a book doesn't mean you've read it, I'm not even sure this pope reads the bible, a bible reading Christian has a stand on every matter and doesn't sit on the fence

@bold:

All there is to say on the matter.

This is very sad, May God console all he left behind.

The wife and neighbours need to be interrogated to decipher what really happened in addition to an autopsy.

And if time of death was allegedly 4am, why would the neighbours wait till 4pm before reporting it?

kingthreat:
Yul didn't abandon May. He just tried to be a polygamist.
Modern day women hardly accept polygamy.
But the way May is going about it with wrath is not the best way.

The way May is going about it?

May that has been super silent for over a year?

Make una dey fear God.

IboHausaYoruba:
Pete is a man I respect so much. A very upright man. Yul is old enough to take decisions; right or wrong. He has his reasons for going polygamous. The first wife is just pained and being selfish. Our culture permits us to take as many wife as we want so far we are able to cater for them. Let's allow Yul breathe please.

Pained and selfish?

Some of you are wickedness personified. You live, eat & breathe wickedness.

Anyways, May is not interested in a polygamy; when the divorce is concluded, Yul can marry another wife after Judy if he is so desperate to keep a polygamous family.

mariahAngel:
But not harsh enough for sales.

My sister, I tire.

These people like to think they have sense.

Yes, it is possible

Toor!

pansophist:
The act of proposing is just an act of promise, it's symbolic. Where the work is, is when you carry the responsibilities of a proposer. And I'm 100% sure that's not something your friend wants to carry.

So after she proposed to him, will she also pay his groom price, then sponsor their wedding, then pay for honeymoon, have a house for him to move into later on? And he probably will bear her surname?

The act of proposal is basically a man saying, "I owe you marital responsibilities". I will provide for you, care for you, love you, and see you as a part of me. Its a statement that carries weight.

Since men carry the burden of performance, he has the responsibility to propose, it's it him declaring to you that he is willing to be your performer.

Men are like drivers, and women are like passengers. You'll only enter a bus that is going to direction you want. So a man's proposals is like saying, hey, I'm going to Abuja, it's better than Lagos, are you onboarding?

Then as a woman, you decide if Abuja is better than Lagos, or Cotonou, or Paris. You choose from your options and pick the best. This is the natural dynamic.

So if you propose to a man, it's like a passenger forcing the driver to go Enugu when he is not ready, or don't want to go there. Also you don't want to put the wrong driver in the steering.

If you understand my alalogy, then proposing is not your job as a woman. Refrain from it. You may ask him where this relationship is heading, to determine your next step.

Very well said.

fried egg contains 8.9g fat in it and we haven’t even talked about the groundnut oil used in frying the egg that contains cholesterol. That’s double wahala.

Biko! I don’t want to be fat. I would rather eat boil egg than to eat fried egg.

I’m really watching my weight

Plant based oils do not contain cholesterol; it is just a marketing gimmick.

An egg contains about 5g of fat out of which 1.6g is saturated. Except your figure of 8g already accounts for the fat from the oil.

I am not knocking off your preference for yam & vegetables which would also have fat except you make it totally oiless.

Just want to let you know that for fitness journey to be sustainable, you need to know food and eat everything in moderation.

Every natural food is good for the body when eaten in moderation except you have an underlying illness.

DenreleDave:
UK/ USA - seasoning

Naija - Maggi

So by seasoning, I assume you are saying Maggi..

Who fries egg and doesn't put Maggi abi na seasoning? It would be so tasteless

Eggs for bread doesn't need 'Maggi'.

GboyegaD:
@ahnie,
Why did you add seasoning to the eggs? I learned it kills the proteins in the egg.

Interesting.

Any specific type of seasoning?

DanielsParker:
Lol. Sachet tomatoes for egg sauce. I tried it once and it didn’t come out nice

Eggs for yam need a stew base.

Prepare the tomato paste well like you are making stew before adding the eggs.

Fresh blended tomatoes and peppers would also work.

ahnie:
The final product.

Did you demolish this sumptuous mountain alone?

If yes, you need to share your secret to maintaining your lepa shandy.

Interesting write up.

Unfortunately, no picture to capture the essence of the ceremonies especially the attires.

This one don leave Kim Kardashian to carry another burden. Some men are born to carry burdens.

Maybe he is a burden bearer.

Kanye seems to have a thing for his women acting as teases in public.

A kind of 'you can see but you can't touch' thingy.

I hope Bianca doesn't come up with a reason to divorce him tomorrow. She is very well aware of his brand of madness.

Even if we believe that Kim exaggerated some events (which I believe she did), we all saw some of the display of his madness online.

She cannot claim to be innocent, a victim or unaware of whom Kanye is.

IamtheTruth1:
I still don’t know why the US are pushing Ecowas to act on Niger when NATO is still yet to attack Russia. Iif una President like make him chop the bait. I still don’t understand it Walai, someone rigged and paid his way into power . With all the evidence of election fraud yet he is reacting against soldiers that want to liberate themselves from Indirect French colonization.

Before u mention ur papa or not, I hope you watched when that soldier was stating that anytime they have info on where the enemy troops are, the president had to confirm from Macron first before they attacked

I don't know why Africans especially our rulers would free themselves from indirect colonial rule.

When they would have sense to see beyond instant gratification and do the best for their land and people.

@bold: imagine! I sincerely hope he can see beyond his nose and sit this one out.

@2nd bold: I was shocked when I watched that. What kind of audacity is that? They are not even hiding their meddling anymore. I read the US & France buys Uranium for $10k/kg from Niger when in the open market it is $70k/kg. Can you imagine the stupidity and fish brainedness of their rulers and the callousness of the Westerners? Why wouldn't they want their puppet to still be in power so they can suck the country dry?

Who cursed Africa like this?

KingMiles007:
Following the failure of the West African diplomatic delegation to Niger to seek the release and reinstatement of ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, the Niger coup leaders have ended all connections including military agreements with France, its former colonial ruler, as international pressure mounts on them to restore democratic order in the country.

You will recall that Tinubu as the Chairman of the ECOWAS' Authority of Heads of State and Government sent a delegation led by former military Head of State, Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar to Niger yesterday.

The delegation left without spending the night, even as ECOWAS' deadline to the junta for restoring Bazoum to power and the country’s constitution by Sunday draws closer.

The coup leaders also called back home Niger's ambassadors and warned citizens to be wary of foreign armies and spies. This was disclosed on the country’s television as the delegation dispatched by Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu met the coup leader, Gen Abdourahmane Tchiani on Thursday.

The coup leaders also cut ties with the United States and Nigeria, as the deadline given by the West African regional bloc will expire in two days. The international community is asking the Tchiani-led military to release and reinstate ousted President Mohamed Bazoum.

The ousted president in a plea published in a Washington Post opinion piece said, “I write this as a hostage and urged the U.S. and partners to help.”

However, the Niger coup leaders made an announcement terminating the military agreements and protocols signed with France and announced the end of functions for Niger’s ambassadors to France, the United States, Togo and neighbouring Nigeria, which is leading ECOWAS efforts on dialogue.

“All aggression or attempt at aggression against the state of Niger will see an immediate response and without warning,” said a spokesman for the coup leaders, Col. Maj. Amadou Abdramane.

Why cutting ties with Nigeria though?

Not good.

We are extremely close neighbours and they would need our support for at least sustenance in future.

1stGenAmerican:
That’s a good question. The West gets involved in countries that beg for handouts. France and the EU have cut all aid to Niger and the US will soon follow—it’ll be interesting to watch the military government in Nigeria operate with almost no money.
Have those grain shipments arrived? If they ever do, the military will seize and sell the grain—it’ll never reach the citizens.

Ist Generation American right?
