But if every AGO purchase is again charged with VAT, that becomes double taxation to the public.

nairalanda1:
Ghana's minimum wage is $40 per month.

Nigeria's minimum wage is $38 per month....just 2 dollars less.

Yet Ghana pays university fees that are 25 times higher than ours...not two dollars higher than ours.

And Ghana is just as broke as we are...plus petrol is N800 per liter there.

Better realize that their minimum wage is just 2 dollars better, not 25 times ours.

I think we are just taking Reno's data without crosschecking...
Ghana's average/mean salary and value should be the indices here not minimum wage .

Google - https://bdeex.com/ghana/
would show it's around $320 not $40

In all wages needs be improved and fees raised to sustain the educational system.

SIRTee15:
I'm not the professor is 100 percent right but u need to see what these Chinese extract from our country and export. Bush meats, different minerals, charcoal, wood, etc.
U wonder why can't our youth also tap into this business and make good foreign exchange out of it.
Now the Lebanese and Indians have joined them. These guys travel deep into the interior of this country to get their products.

It's not that Nigerian youths are lazy...
Have you exported anything before?

Starting from banks giving loans/funds to get the products to export state/stage (rem product quality spec has to be met to get paid); to paying for containers; to paying for haulage/logistics with all the police and bribery on the roads; to getting into the port and goods on board...

How many contact do these youths have abroad to offtake their products (they always look for and need big supplies to support regular production process, not just one-off supply will justify setting up a factory rem o)?
Do you know our Port managers don't know most of these minerals, what they're being used for or the values?
Do you know most of these foreigners have waivers to do what they are doing sef (the guys/companies building railways have made all the money they claim we are owing on the rails with different mined products Amechi allowed them to take out enmass)?

How much do you think they can compete with those foreigners that are taking for free (next to nothing) with support from their home countries (with serious financing I mean o - Google China giving their citizens bank funds to go explore Africa especially)

SOLUTION IS NOT THE EXPORTING ENTERPRISE.
IT IS BANNING ALL THOSE EXPORTS AND PROCESSING LOCALLY, THEN SELLING ONLY FINISHED PRODUCTS TO THE WORLD...

""Bros Olosho no take your glory okay, yours is even better because me I dey make romance with olosho's as if they are my girl friend..I dey suck olosho's kpekus and dey kiss some olosho's for lips, I dey play gamble and am addicted to naughty things and porn too and I smoke weed and drink wisky but not heavy drinker..

Are you guys for real! People dey dis 9ja ooo....

You need to give yourselves a future, to make living better worth changing for ooo - try Jesus

This is really bad reporting...

One could hear her saying "one final question..." or am I the only one who heard that?

Which implies he already granted her interview request but was drawing it out longer than necessary.
Coming out to now say he snubbed is unfair

These issues should be bigger than individuals.

With current mind sets, even if each Statesl is made into separate Countries, we'd still have these bias (on religion & tribe)

We need just to
1. Entrench MERITOCRACY - always putting the best of us forward AND THEN HOLDING HIM/HER ACCOUNTABLE to do the maximum good for ALL and not self, family and cronies.
2. We need to stop this mistrust of other tribes/ethnicity apart from ours. OUR REAL ENEMIES MOSTLY DON'T COME OUTSIDE, BUT RATHER THEY ARE THE ONES CLOSEST TO US ALREADY.
The person selling out the Yoruba is Yoruba; the enemy of the Igbo is Igbo; just as the North is kept under by her past Rulers that have largely been Northerners.

3. This is the time to start grooming a genuine leader (not 4 years time) that understands stewardship, accountability, with Old & Modern Ideas/Visions for the people of this Nation; he must be able to do projects at "right costs". Not 1km of road/railway for over N1b that we are doing now...

The years of unfair and compromised Electoral Commissions (FEDECO, NEC, INEC) led us to this level of individual posting of results (real/fake; joke/sarcasm) as a way of protecting our votes, but it shouldn't be...

Why do they all always do/make such claims?
Why didn't he do it while in power to do such?

OsuGanja:
In life,you’ve always got a choice

Frontpage!!!
Nairaland has lost credibility....

Useless Nairaland mods bringing a 2019 thread back to front page in 2023!!!

Still to correct/notify others, not everyone is aware what fate awaits them.
Please never generalise

I think you're wrong about your claims.
Go and look at IGR and basis for revenue sharing properly Lagos is not your problem. Look at States not contributing but collecting the most!

See, Lagos as is, without oil will end up with more Revenue than Delta if each state were to claim their efforts at Revenue generation.

It's the vision of their past leaders (quality of such leadership too) that made Lagos and by extension the Western Nigerian Region what it is.
See, when Ibadan was the seat of Western Region, it was not monies thrown at it that gave birth to the first Television Station or free education or Cocoa House or Wemabod/Bodija (and other estates that they invested in) or the UCH that Saudi royal family patronized then.

In fact, they generated their funds first (from farming) before sending to the FG, BUT USED/INVESTED IT WISELY is the point. They have never been the leeches you're looking for.

.

According to democratic tenents indeed...
Speaking as if they own that presidency and will always determine what happens!
1. Where did he see that in the lopsided appointments?
2. Where did he see that in educational qualifications criteria (even national passport was made cheaper there o)
3. Where is the said contribution in dollar/Naira terms?
4. Where did he see that when the military was creating states & LGs

We will get out of the woods...

Liars. They won't mention the failed mosquito tests in Africa and Brazil where they introduced them again.
They'd only come up with reasons to quarantine or bill us (on travels etc)

FireBreatherDam:
Didn't you guys notice that 247Hustler never mentioned the course he studied or his upwork niche? 🤔🤔🤔🧐🤨🧐

And he's not under any obligation to do so...
It's not everything he needs to make public because of others.

me thinks, the first thing should be a ban on those trucks using/climbing the bridge in the first place.

2. moving or prosecuting the buses that congest the road below that discourages all motorists from using the road below...

Young Man,
You're in a very wrong place for advice... and judging by the many replies I'd say you've gotten a lot.

Focus on developing your self esteem and just start with building platonic friendships with the females already in your life...

I should also ask what do you truly really want?
Relationship? Sex? What exactly?

I really wish Nigerians note and stop the undue focus they put on the presidential election AT THE EXPENSE of their Parliamentarians (Senate/Reps) - Those are the ones that can restructure Nigeria (balance power, correct the current miscued representation, Federal Character issues, Revenue sharing based on contribution and not land size or unproductive population, entrench meritocracy etc), yet we often don't bother to even know their names, not to talk of scrutinizing them...

Thank God for good news (at these days...)

EndsarsReloaded:
Tinubu is an old fool, the bastard of iragbiji is so foolish not to understand he is wasting his time buying people's BVN.

so they're selling BVN too now??!!!

Risingblue008:

As
1994-98
While I will never forget watch-night of 1999/2000 new year,
It was a boom!

What happened at the watch-night of 1999/2000 o?

Musulmanci:
Wahhabism at work again in Northern Nigeria.

This Cleric did not utter any thing blasphemous against Prophet Muhammad. He only criticised hadiths in Sunni compilations which are insulting to the Prophet. They twisted everything against him because he is Sufi or likely as suspected a Shia (Shi'ite).

Sometime last year, this same Cleric challenged the Wahhabi aka Salafi rabbis to a public debate on inter Islamic disputes. But all those wahhabi Clerics fled from the challenge.

Thank you for giving an idea into what he actually said that was termed blasphemous.
I think objective comments should be encouraged more than trolling on this forum.

The report is not mentioning what he actually said...
My mind goes to Deborah's case, what she actually said was not turn a class/study WhatsApp group to a religious one and that was termed as blasphemous by some extremists!!

"I think how can my dress or bikini hurt someone? Please explain me that. First I was thinking if the World Cup is happening there (Qatar), for sure they will allow us everything to make it comfortable for allowed allowed fans without any of the restrictions.

"Then I heard about the rules and I was shocked. The dress code forbids showing shoulders, knees, belly and everything and I was like, 'Oh my God, I don't even have the clothes to cover all of that'. I was super angry because if I'm not a Muslim and if we in Europe respect hijab and niqab, I think they need also to respect our way of life*, our religion and in the end me wearing dresses, bikinis because I'm Catholic from Croatia who is here because of the World Cup.


Asked if she had felt there was any risk of being arrested for her outfits, Knoll replied, "I am never afraid of something like that."

"The reactions are very good. Many of the Qatari people came to me to photograph me. If they hate it and they have something against it, they wouldn't do it. I think it's just another way of life, me and them." She added.

most replies missed her point...

1. leave God out, don't fight or defend him. He's big enough to do that by Himself.
2. just tell, how are you affected the other person' dressing? Or it's just the perverted minds & pastors/imams (with their books) playing these tricks with religions on us ? (some folks on NL here talk as if we still don't have nude cultures/communities presently on this planet, yet without these headaches or rape (as the world is trying to "civilize" them to be wearing clothes) why are they not affected?
3. IF THE OTHER PERSON HAS ISSUES WITH YOUR DRESSING (REASONABLE OR NOT) WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR CODES/ETHOS TO ACCOMMODATE SUCH WITHOUT CRITICISM OR HONEST/DISHONEST PERSUASION TO CHANGE THEM (as the Western world has, why do they find it difficult to accommodate others?)

it's all about live and let other's (live as they deem fit) too...

if some folks can also leave for a place that has history of a particular Faith (their constitution, bearing witness) and asks to be allowed to dress in a particular with argument that theirs is not disturbing anyone, why would they refuse to reciprocate when others visit their space ? but rather the argument suddenly becomes, respect your host! if the whole space becomes theirs, would they accommodate differing opinions in dressing?
all these religions are with such double-faced hypocrisy!!!

she says Qataris were not offended but rather asked to take pictures with her (to her nobody was affected too)

immortalcrown:
Your logic is so childish and weak. Many States adopted the bill before and after 2009. This means it is a normal practice in every State in Nigeria. Obi signed it because it is the normal thing in Nigeria. He then rejected the entitlement to show he is personally against the will. Obi signed the bill because the stake holders and the State house of assembly wanted it. Only a tyrant will refuse to sign the bill.

A governor is not the one who proposes a bill in a State.

it's actually your take that is weak...
compare all better things that he could have copied from other States esp Lagos at that point in time, why was that Bill the one he copied?

so he joined others to make blatant immoral personal enrichment normal thing?
why can't we be talking of him as taking a good stand against what is/was wrong then and till now?
Will he not join to do "normal things" again if given opportunity this time?

Governors sponsor a lot of selfish Bills (check local government autonomy thru their rubber stamp House of Assembly... go find out

he's a thief like the others abeg.

Why are we fixated bout this sex sef!

To be balanced, there are plenty of archeological evidence (drawings/carvings on rocks, scrolls, karma-sutra positions etc) that suggests the ancient folks did more than what you're thinking, so it's not authoritatively from porn like you assumed.

Odward:
Forget about the child and conceive a new one na

Pls don't make any baby(ies) for now...
You don't have the heart of a good parent yet o.

Daniel058:
if the Man paid Lobola , then the child belong to the man and his family, that's Igbo tradition (assuming the late husband was from Igbo tribe)

The man is late, the man's parents are both late now too, what greater right has the late man's sister to the child (using him to sell pure water) when the biological mother is alive and ready to take better care of her child is the issue at hand?

There must be his side of explaining his behaviors...
Else he only needs to find himself and purpose - You allowed him to wander in the earlier stages and he has not had his fill of the feeling and enjoyment.

2. Op didn't say no to having more babies...but rather wait, lemmie graduate (Op, as a married woman you can school with baby na, though not easy)
If truly that's his reason, you two just didn't talk bout things well/enough.
But, what's the point having more kids, as he's not bonding with those he's already blessed with, just for someone else to be the one taking them to school, checking homework etc while also working just like he is. It's not easy o - or it's just classic case of tying the woman down with children angle sympathy/feelings?

If that's the case - I support your wanting to wait.

Why create more societal problems with these emotionally damaged children we keep producing FOR SELFISH REASONS without both parents commitment to upbring properly.
3. A prodigal child/man coming home sober, pretending to have changed just to prepare ground to drop the issue of another woman's child/pregnancy! - kids do that after getting in trouble especially after being warned severally
4. Being someone who preferred beatings to hurtful words/attitude while growing up, AM SURPRISED MOST PEOPLE SAY HE'S NOT BEATING YOU (and reason you should stay) - I SEE THE EMOTIONAL BEATINGS (talk downs, body shaming) AND NON-SUPPORT. (your biz dreams, investments, education and raising the kids)
5. I see no problem with your marriage.
You don't communicate properly anymore. Not talks at, use pleas, persuasions....
TALK ABOUT YOUR TOLERANCE, but not as a dictator o - You allowed him cross many lines that you should have let him know you won't tolerate at dating stages of your relationship.
Agree to more kids - only if he'll be there for the kid and you.
Most importantly keep your sanity - Jesus had died for all, needless you die for anyone again.

This is global recession...

Do these type of women learn this from their mother's?
Or this maid maltreatment is just their trophy for getting married or being educated/successful as they obviously treat their biological children a lot differently?
