Peliman:
People don't care about your intelligence,wisdom and morals if you don't have money so my brother get money he get why.

this one is so on point...The society is cruel to anyone without money.

Bahamas95:
Whenever I see a Nigerian pastor and a viper I would run from the pastor first before thinking on what to do with the viper.







"PASTOR" is just a title, it doesn't stop the person from being who he really is.

You don learn the hard way.

Be selfish cos When the chips are down,you are all you 've got.

What is going on here

princejones:
The two beverages alone is 86k and kings oil is upto 10k for 4 litres

DeepSight:
What do you think of the possibility that social media is ultimately destined to lead to the evolution of a hive mind by humanity?

Social media has influenced our society that many people now have herd mentality.There are still some persons that think for themselves but the number is gradually shrinking cos it takes alot of discipline to think for oneself which many people can't afford.

helinues:
President Tinubu is a failure in terms of security most especially in North

This can never be helinues...who hacked your phone?

Op,you have to become comfortable in being alone. It's a superpower,not a weakness. Truth is we all die alone,so why are you scared that you might die alone. Your biggest problem now is money not women...I'm not saying you should make money to get women. Make money for yourself. Money brings option. Money brings value and confidence. Money gives you ability to walk out from bullshit. Make money for these reasons. Relationship and marriage are now outdated... You are better off knacking olosho than committing to one pretender in the name of relationship or marriage. Go for oloshos to cure konji and make money to be a better man.

abbey621:
You dey earn 100k monthly and you believe na woman matter be your priority for this economy?.....Dem suppose gather beat sense into you, up your levela and start making real money, you're in no position to even dream about love, manage olosho if konji wan finish you but stay away from relationship until you become a REAL man!

best advice... 💯

SpencerForbes:
No vex😂😂 I’m a human before a man. I Dey help man, I Dey help woman. The money was something I could give a total stranger whether male or female.

You have prevented her from learning a very serious lesson. She would go about Bragging to her friends how a total stranger rescued her from the mess the other guy put her. If you really understand how women think,you would not want to rescue them.

Kobojunkie:
They aren't Worth it yet they are all you lot spend your days and nights busy discussing? 🥱🥱

lildush:
Nigerian girls are hungry... Dating 1 of Dem is as good as adopting an orphan.. u will pay bills till u run away.. stay on ur own bro build ur life..

OvertheTop:
Have you lost your Job before while she takes care of the Bills for 6 Months?

Lol, if he loses his job,he will finally realise he has been married to his enemy

MONEY247:
As a Christian, prayer is a part of your DNA.
The book of Luke 18:1
" And he spake a parable unto them, to this end, that men always ought to pray and not faint "

That's the only way to communicate with God, and your father in heaven.
When you pray, you heart becomes the loudest in your Fibre means of communication. It speaks louder than your mouth.
Ever wondered why Jesus at tomb of Lazarus, and declared" father I thank you for answering me" He already made communication with his heart..

Types of prayer

Prayer of praise and worship
Prayer of supplication
Prayer of Thanksgiving
Prayer for forgiveness
Prayer for intervention
Prayer of rest...

Engage in pray today and practice continually, and God answers prayers

Una still dey pray Lolzzx

Must you always explain your actions?

What is Jackson playing to command such transfer fee?

Nothing to worry about. You are waking up in a world where most are sleeping. Welcome to realm of the awake.

geoworldedu:
Someone refused to do evil, you call him foolish. You are the problem of Nigeria, aswear.

why are you shocked? It's foolish to do the right thing in the eyes of most Nigerians.

Na only mumu dey believe say inec dey independent...lol.

The truth is, we don't pay tax enough in this country. It is because of the poverty level of this country that governments past and present have been raising money from the resources we sell and loans, not from taxation as they do in saner climes.

If government was raising money from taxes aggressively, all of us , including street hawkers , would be paying as high as 40-50% of our income, and if you cheat on your taxes, you go go jail.

That's how they do in saner climes, and why many of the very rich oversease in saner climes hide their money in offshore accounts. The Pandora papers exposed many of them (it was not just about Nigeria, it was worldwide.).

But 70% of us work in the informal sector. State and fg can't effectively tax them for many reasons. That;s why most of the tax comes from the formal sector...and it is not enough. (As it stands, less than 30% of my salary goes to the FG as tax via FIRS taxing my salary).

And even those who government can tax, there is a minimum level where government won't take taxes from you...and that;s most Nigerians.

That's why tax revenues in Nigeria are low, and why most of our income comes from oil and from LOANS. We have no choice.

Now you don shift goal post.it's no longer only 30% pay taxes but we are not paying enough. What is the average earning capacity of a Nigerian compared to that of someone in UK? You see say the difference dey massive. So we are paying based on our earning capacity so before you ask for more task,what have you been doing with the ones we have been paying. A government that cannot give good account of what they are using tax for should not demand for more taxes.there is no justification at all.

nairalanda1:
1.Hahahaha...I wish I was wrong, but I have proof.

2. Tax in this case means to state and federal government. Not the private taxes that people pay that go to union, or to private pockets...tax that goes to the people who WILL do the actual infrastructure and so forth.

3. The information is available online.

4. You can refuse to believe me, and note that I did not say there is no corruption or that their lavish living is right.

bros we all pay indirect taxes. It's only direct taxes that some persons can escape. I no dey like too much arguement. Check out what are indirect taxes and examples and you will understand what I'm saying.

nairalanda1:


You guys should stop believing we have enough money. We do not. And as for tax, less than 30% of Nigerians pay tax.

That's a big part of why we don't see anything good from any government.

20% of the budget comes from tax. It's even less.

I did not say there is no corruption or stealing. There is, and that makes our bad condtion worse.

But anyone who beleives that most of what government uses comes from tax... . Most of our revenue comes from LOANS. Even the oil money, it would be enough if we were 10 million people or less. Not the 230 million we are.

you are wrong saying less than 30% pay tax in Nigeria...Do you know there are different forms of tax...some you can't even bypass.There is nobody in this country that is not paying tax directly or indirectly. So long you are consuming one thing or the other,you pay tax. For the government to demand for more tax,they should justify what they are doing or have done with all taxes people have been paying.There is no money in the country whereas they are living lavishly and spending money on white elephant projects. Na only mumu or government agent dey side with this government,so which one are you?

nairalanda1:
Yeah, but are you ready to pay the type of tax they pay oversease to keep those things running?

UK cities have CCTV everywhere. Residents of UK cities pay as much as 200 pounds monthly as council tax which goes into maintaining those things. On top of their income tax which consumes half of their income.

Try that in Nigeria. Wike brought ground tax, people shouted. If he brings council tax, we go shout even more.

I am not saying they are not corurpt, and I believe that APC has failed. Even the last CCTV system attempt in abuja failed because wayo. But it would not have covered all parts of abuja even if it worked.

At the end, we no dey earn the kind of revenue dey earn abroad , simple and short.

Don't even mention tax. The one we have been paying,what are they doing with....if you like be paying #2m tax in Nigeria,they will still loot it.

lagonovo:
How heartless can someone be? What could turn a human being into this form of beast all in the name of money? Please stop breeding like rabbits. If you cannot sustain yourself amd support a family please stop bringing another human being into this world.

if you talk now say make them no breed like rats,some zombieees go attack. Failed family structure birthing failed society and then birthing failed government; that's how we got here.

tunnyl:
Better move close to God before it is too late. Your life will be better if you do. I am not talking about money.

can you offer a practical solution to the guy’s problem and not just mentioning God?

SocialJustice:
Abeg rest, what will God do? The millions of people starving everyday, what has prayer solved? Even you typing, when was the last time you ate good food? What has God done for you?

lol….this your response got me laughing but it’s true

Empresa:
The criminals once insulted Obasanjo for saying the refineries can't work except it is sold. The gave deadline upon deadline and that is after insulting OBJ. Now they want to toe that line of advise and sell the refineries

To be a good leader is not about becoming a president, it is about listening to advise and words of wisdoms from experienced people and other leaders.

I can say it with all confidence that these crop of people running the affairs of Nigeria, have no idea what the problem is. They're just looting by tricks and wasting the precious time of the masses.

Not just obasanjo,even atiku said same thing in his campaign and many used that against him in election.Nigerians love to be lied to obviously.

BigDawsNet:
I won buy seriously… abeg like how much do I need to drop to acquire everything?

Serious minded abeg

dm let me sell to you. You will manage it better than nnpc

When Atiku said the same thing, zombies called him a thief.Most Nigerians are allergic to hearing the truth.

Ikaeniyan0:

You're lying, stop lying nah

The bolded is very true. Yorubas still believe there are only three tribes in this country.

Kewekubosineh:
No forces can stop creation of Anioma State.

Despite the hirings from Ndokwa, Anioma State creation is real, will sail through.

No shaking. Anioma State creation coming and Ndokwa is inclusive.

why create another state out of a small state when you have Niger state with massive land and still intact?
