Racoon:
Everyone in this govt is mischievous. Taiwo Oyedele is aware that there would be an outcry, so he quickly said poor people and small businesses won’t be affected by the proposed increase in VAT.

Of course, even a novice in economics knows that when companies are burdened with higher taxes, they transfer this burden to consumers, which invalidates his baseless assurance that poor people and small businesses would be exempted since inflation, which higher taxes on businesses will activate, is an ill wind that blows nobody any good.

However, Oyedele thinks Nigerians are morons while saying the government had extracted a commitment from businesses that they won’t jack up the prices of their goods and services in response to the increased tax obligation.

The zombies you're talking to are dead inside, they'll never read you and comprehend enough to respond positively. It's like they have an unshakeable covenant with poverty, chaos and slow death.

If the Military High Command really wants to help that guy or if he too knows what's best for him, they should move him to some neutral ground on some Naval, Air Force Base or Army Cantonment somewhere far from Abuja.
He has stirred the hornets' nest and reactions must be expected that corruption will push back. Even though he was right, Wike and his ilk should not be expected to lie low. The entire Nigerian Police Force rank and file offers must privately be getting -erect!ons when they're imagining themselves catching and embarrassing him.
Let him take a step back from view for now for personal safety; he is no VDM!

The Army too has equally used him to prove a powerful point as per rule of law, politicians' need for following due process rather than taking laws into their own hands, acting stupidly and then reinterpreting laws to suit whatever idiotic narrative they want to sell to Gullible Voting Majority.
Yerima has been useful in that regard. Let them shield him a bit before Police will go and waste him and frame up false evidences to prove guilt that he doesn't have.

People in close countries eg, Philippines, India, Bangladesh and lots of other countries with poorer people than naija will fill such roles, people that can fly out with little money to their countries for the 3 month exclusion period yet earning will still make sense.
As a naija person imagine the cost of ticket from naija to new Zealand, then think of flying out then returning every year. At the end of the day no meaningful saving go de.

You're right. I think that serves excellently for those whose sole post-retirement age dream is to return home. But I like discouraging folks from rushing into such plans on the fly. Enough of them come here ava barely spend 2 years before starting the cycle of sending money home for relatives to start buying cements and building materials for them instead of deepening and accelerating their employability potentials with quick strategic investments of time, effort and those initial savings they first make here to fund solid foundations, quantum leaps and relative financial freedom for themselves later.
It's those types I like counseling not to not always rush home to Naija all the time.

Getting out to other countries really broaden your perspectives, informs you of options and helps you plan the next phase of your evolution out here better. What most of our folks do is get in, get excited about the new lifestyle, quality of life, tech, pay etc and they settle down to accept to work till they die in their new rat race here.

Those who grow over that level to build businesses that extended them beyond solo effort had an entrepreneurial initiative and an ownership mindset that most of us here lack and seeing other environments beyond your 9-5 cubicle office or factory warehouse shifts really help with that.

Just compare how many business owners we have in the Jewish, Indian, Pakistani communities. Look at the various China Town districts, the Chinese, Japanese, Middle Eastern business dynasties here and you wonder how and why we the Nigerian communities really often get it wrong.

With the exception of our South Eastern Igbo brothers, the rest of us haven't quite gotten the operational logic of forging business relationships and growing strong financial communities that help more of us settle in faster and which actually serve as economic growth catalysts for our home countries, families and communities.

Vacationing in Naija will come easier when we are industry kings comfortably crisscrossing continents. 👍

Therock5555:
And I never get time watch her videos for my phone oh, now what should I do with them? 😭😭

Don't self-service to the dead, delete your stash and take the NO-FAP Detox ASAP

madridguy:
Let them do whatever that makes them happy. Let them go into war.

Just because you're on your farm somewhere doesn't exclude from wat will be the fallouts of such a war. Except you ave a solid and well-stocked up bunker wit exceptional air filtration and water recycling systems, you wont escape the consequences. Pray For Peace!

What did she tell him, lemme guess...
"None of the kids are yours?"🤔

But seriously, oldies need to watch their health always. And Mama should've probably given him that drink he requested for on time and even counseled him to cut the whole charade short. But, it's a party and we'd wanna keep up appearances.

May God keep us from Death At The Door of Glory always. 🙏

NaijaNaWaa:
The level of ignorance in our society in general and the public service in particular is numbing.

Nigerians revel in sh!t level ignorance and then wonder why their societies and lives won't elevate.

OkCornel:
Hmmm…

You dey mind those 0l0riburuku somebodies, busy hustling hard for their £50 by selling crumbs and lies to the Gullible Voting Majority.

Zonefree:
Jega is the architect of loss of hope in Nigeria. He should be prison with both hands and legs chained if Nigeria is a sane country.

He should have been mobbed to the extent of him running away if most Nigerians themselves were sane people.

But alas, Nigeria's Gullible Voting Majority are inbred suicidal id1ots who are content to use their political, ethnic and religious bias to drag everyone down with them.

Ethnan:
Fuelless machine is real. It will be in main news before end of 2024 when it will become commercially available.

Siemens and Electron Energy Corporation have a global exclusive manufacturing license for a type of this fuelless machines. Another type of the fuelless machine is even more shattering, as it has no moving parts. An Asian company has an exclusive right to manufacture it. And there could be many more I do not know about.

The world needs it to save itself from global warming. Gone are the days when people should be threatened by the oil cabals, even the oil cabals now realize the earth needs to be saved. Every degree rise in global warming is catastrophic for the earth. We now know this.

Science only explains nature and also predicts natural behaviour based on knowledge gathered from studying natural or forced occurrences. Science doesn't tell nature how to act and react. It only explains.
When light could behave like matter and matter like light, the theory of the duality of matter was propounded. . When the atom was split into seperate parts, existing independently, the theory that atom is an indivisible part of element was set aside.

It is wrong to think that what you do not know does not exist! I am a first class scientist and have always believed in law of conservation of energy. We will need to explain infinite energy creation with the new reality happening to us. I am only too saddened that my country is not ready for what is coming. In less than 10 years, the world would have totally changed, and I pray we will not be left behind. Prepare for a new world. It is real.

Nigerians are far too negative and seem wired for just seeing the impossibly bad side of things.

While I don't support the guy and wouldn't give a cat whistle for him till I also see him explain the principles supporting his so-called invention, I would want to go with your position that science itself demonstrates a capacity to evolve with our discovery and understanding of the observable universe. We are all working from the known to the unknown and unfortunately and fascinatingly enough, what is unknown is infinitely much more than what we know.

Needless to say that there can be no perpetual motion system, that does not mean that different combinations of power generation concepts can not yield sustainably cheap, long-lasting and hydrocarbon-fuel free power.

An example is one we are working on out here that initiates with a battery powered generator system powering an electric motor running energy conversion via an alternator which converts the mechanical energy back to electrical energy. System of capacitors and resistors were deployed to smoothen out fluctuations and manage energy flow while the entire output connects to inverters with additional backup batteries to power household needs. Regenerative braking was implemented to further recover energy.

Initial markets targeted for deployment and sales are currently in Africa owing to a dearth of affordable electric power options observed here with its attendant penchant for reducing quality of life and socioeconomic growth and advancement.

I'm not gonna go longer on the issue but i'll take a stand on the idea that the way forward will be hybrid systems like ours for portable solo solutions while the world can start looking more into thermal, hydro, wind etc general or modular options for Community and Municipal power solutions.

Nigerian leaders are too busy stealing while a vast majority of its youths seem to busy twerking, acting comedy skits and discussing irrelevant celebrity idi0ts for them to even give any attention to macro issues around them, their country and their continent. The few thinking ones either want to come of the "sh!thole, zoo" etc while the rest waste their energies on tribal hate but the fact remains that the world has long left Nigeria behind. Even average Caucasians out here would tell you they'd be appalled to find themselves thinking the thoughts and nursing the cavemen concerns that preoccupies the average Nigerian mind on the daily.

More creative, safe and long-lasting energy solutions will still surface in the mass market soonest for general consumption and usage. There are just too many brilliant and dedicated minds working on that for it to happen soonest
And that's because they're not hampered by immediate survival thoughts to the point of them not seeing that the Earth needs to heal and we all have to take steps to help that happening.

Anyiamaka:
Is Tinubu bigger than NIGERIA?

He's bigger because that's the way your collective psyche perceives him and in your continued division, he will persist in thriving.

Ekejoestar:
Lol, this matter get as e be, if there's a law against having sensitive information of other people on your person, then let the law take its course
.
Since I believe no crime had yet been committed.

He's quite complicit and he's carrying his own cross as the investigator said. Don't assume folks are dumb out here as they are in Nigeria.
No one collects those types of info, as a Christian pastor from confessing parishioners. That means if I went to confess adultery to him, he would be requiring date, time, location etc details like hotel lodging particulars with GPS coordinates, activity log like timing of sexual activity with her, frequency of rounds, styles I used with her, did she cumm or not etc etc. That's how ridiculous what he's saying now sounds.
The information on him is far too detailed for him to get off lightly. That's just a jotter on him. Can U imagine what he has on his laptop🤷

To defend the antics of fake Nigerian Pastors is to start sounding as daft as most of their gullible members.

Wait until forensic audit of his back accounts, investigation check results on his social media activity etc come in before you defend him further.

ALTERNATEID:
This is not looking good. The satellite will be used to spy on Nigeria and hence a security threat to us. About time Nigeria work with other West African countries and western powers to dismantle the puppet regimes in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso before they do more harm to the sub region.

Tell Tinubu to go blow it up. Send your soldiers who can't defeat Boko Haram after them.

Oloriburuku.
Very big oloriburuku!!

Kvarachi:
This is not new now. Some 10yrs ago someone told me that in Kirikiri prison Lagos state that there's an inmate who's allowed to go to the market and buys all types of foodstuffs, beverages and cigars that he resells inside the prison yard.
That they don't even escort the guy, but he will go and come back. He told me he makes a lot of money from the business. Though why he's been allowed to go and come anytime he likes is bcuz my friend told me he has served over 5yrs in the prison and as at that time he has only 6 months left to stay in the prison.

This practice you mentioned is decades old. It would only appear new to those unaware of it.
IA real senior Prisons boss once built a whole house using almost only all inmates in my area in the 80's and they'd leave them to roam briefly buying cigarettes, biscuits etc.
We were concerned in the Community until elderly men told us those guys were only their last days in jail so the motivation to jailbreak is low for them and that was why only such fellas were brought out to do such runs. They said aside from that the inmate also gets to keep the proceeds of his Begging
Enterprise minus little settlements to start his life afresh once out.
Nigeria needs restructuring starting from its most fundamental levels.

LordIsaac:
Get a girlfriend- a Nigerian girl using iphome 15 in 200level; whose father is a civil servant. Thank me later.

Now, you are really WICKED!

Cj4charles:
Who noticed how those top Nairaland Zombies like SKELETONBBQGRILLS, Hèlinus and co have been avoiding Nairaland forums lately... the government have been disappointing them in all ramifications 😁😅🤣 now I know Fela never made any mistake when he sang the song "Zombie ó Zombie"

Those bastarrds need their arsses to be roasted one of MannaVultureMeatSeller's Grills for like 25 minutes each for their brains to sizzle and spark so that all the APC lies, sycophancy and hypocrisy in them will ooze out through their butttholes. The conscienceless slave mentality muthafuckas. You won't see them accounting for the failures of their criminal Presidiot and their scam Party.

Melagros:
COMRADES are speechless, Buhari took us back to iron age, which age now Tinubu dey take us to?

He's taking everyone who believes in his nonsense back to being Ape-men like his supporters have already become.

Like his name implies he's an INJURED NIGGALIELIE.🙄😝

Ayomide11111:
Yes, she has all the above Dirty traits you mentioned. She can goes a whole day without brushing teeth and foods keep going. She can goes a week without thorough bathing with soap just to wash face and legs perhaps taking shower sometimes. Piles up dirty clothes, leaves used plates inside the sink for days and so on

Lord Jesus!🥺 Houston, We Have A Problem!🤷
And you really really love her.
This is gonna pose a big problem o. Especially when she starts appealing to friends and family to help talk you into not letting her go based on her promises to "change". Most of them never do. They just get recalcitrant and start resentfully pushing back at you in the future years when you need peace and stability the most.

Kobicove:
Run o!

What you see during dating phase is just 10% of what you'll see during the marriage!

Totally Agree.
And by that time, they'd be believing that they must have so grown on you enough that you ought to free them to be their crappy shitty self.
Then you'll see them wearing their sloppiness with pride and trying to tell the whole world you're the bad one.

The dirtiness alone shouldn't be your main fear right now but other little things folks fail to consider when the romance is still hot.

- Her zest for progress and new things

- How innovative is she and how easily does she budge when encouraged to leave her comfort zones

- Her attitude to correction

- Is she the communicating type or the moody passive aggression quiet type.

- Dirty or not, do you have any Class Difference between you two. Is she just dirty perceptually or consummately? Like, I mean, does she just do things that would look clean to those at her level like running around with unshaved armpits, not showering before bed, not using body sprays, cologne etc OR is she the eating with dirty hands, leaving the whole house dirty, eating without picking plates, leaving stinky filled kitchen sinks for days OR the absolute worst type, the holding-spit-in-the-mouth-all-morning-without-brushing type?

If she's any of the above and she's the type that doesn't take correction or makes you an enemy for pointing out these simple things to her, your marital life, mental health and future happiness does not have a snowball's chance of survival in hell.

She will settle down, settle in, unpack her gross antecedents and start raising little piglets for you after making your home a pigsty.

Tell her you lost your job controversially. Make up a robust believable and story-line with other tidbits like how you're going to be facing a protracted criminal prosecution from your office and your need for her to help you raise funds. Mention some humongous figure like that.

Stop picking her bills

Cut calls and all forms of communication radically with the blame on your need for prioritizing the little cash you got now on survival rather than other frivolities

The little times you do communicate, oscillate between throwing tantrums at her, sounding paranoid and other borderline stuffs.

Get a couple of your friends in on the scope and let them start wiring her scripts that corroborate your supposed new predicament. Let them make it real one of them could even start chyking her sef. If she gels, the worse for her.

Let her know if she sees anybody that wants her, she should follow him because you don't know in which direction your life is currently heading in right now.

If you like you could throw in tidbits about your imaginary consultations with a few prophets, alfas, chief priests etc, all the better.

You should be able to run all this in 3 weeks tops.

Any problematic Naija girl like you've just described will not just leave you alone, she will also flee from you and curse every time your name is mentioned.

Majority of them are not supportive. They're not built like that. They are like cheap china phones, wired to fail when you need them most.

Ahhhhhh, she even sucked Ur Deek

You must have thought you were high in Bhurj living la vida loca getting your pencil wet for free.

You do know they will suspend you and possibly marry her off to you if she confesses.

MrCounselor:
As long as you operate online, you're very easy to track down.
Unless you're not of interest yet.

Why haven't they tracked down GistLover then?

CyrusVI:
Fuel wey dey fail lab test na wetin dem dey push,dey sell for filling station. Dem go just dey knock people engine anyhow




Na hin brother be this and some people carry Dangote matter for head like Mohawk
Be like na just small group of people get this country. The rest of us na just occupiers

Those are the mad people APC Gullible entities want to die for.
The only thing that can save Nigeria now is a radical revolution followed possibly by breaking up or, regional empowerment, at the very least.

Obedient hv started another propaganda. They don't have any farm and they are complaining.

Ur brain just dry like Buhari's desert backyard. Must everything be about Obidients.
Ordinary Food Commodities Comparitive Reviews, your tiny brain went off-track.
Your types ruined that beautiful country.
With your strange monicker like CASKet.

Sonnobax15:

It's just a pity that our sisters and the female gender generally have become an endangered species before those evil men.....

May her soul rip and may thunder continue to fire her killers anywhere they are

Some times, they make themselves willing commodities for those evil men when they're busy playing their "highest bidder" games.

However, you're right, even if girl like money, girl stoopid, girl get Longathroat or she no dey loyal, death should not be the next thing to mete out to her. Most of these girls are young, time and life still has a lot to teach them in becoming better persons.
That idiot boy and his Dad should roast for this.

visaclick:
Apc is a cancer, look at the best brains Tinubu recruited then he will do a social media show off by claiming to sack them when infact they are doing backdoors settlements.

You can never defend apc and not sound foolish.

Islamic ethno-religious bigots and fanatics are also on this APC table because they pushed for this horrible Muslim/Muslim Ticket the hardest.

For example, on a notable Islamic News event like this, wouldn't you expect that useless MURIC to say something? Or Miyetti Allah? Or any of their other over thousand and one anti-progressive religious and ethnic hate-machinery associations?

They'll never do so because those monkeys are the truly the cancers eating Nigeria to the bone.

DesChyko:
It can be recalled that His Excellency, Peter Obi, had always drawn attention to the lack of potable drinking water in certain parts of Nigeria.

He took it upon himself to put up borehole projects in different affected areas, calling on the leaders and privileged individuals alike to also do their best on this regards.

But Tinubu's lying bast@rds castigated him for it, didn't they?
