Don't worry prof. If your name had Adamu or Akin,they would have decorated you as the best thing that ever happened to inec.

The holy book had said it. Men will be busy committing adultery,fornication,attending swearing in ceremonies on that great day of rapture. And true to that,they have been busy manipulating themselves in the name of elections and sharing offices that they didn't know that the boko haram boys have come on them. Therefore I confirm that the heart of the present leaders of Nigeria is full of evil and iniquity. But they will pay.

Is there any country called Nigeria?

Mariory:


No we're talking about the value of the naira to the $ which you brought up. You cannot compare the value of Tax revenue of both periods in $ without taking into consideration the value of oil in both periods due to the type of economy we have in Nigeria.

As a result I do not see any hypocrisy or ignorance.

Okay. 1. The factor responsible for the fluctuations in forex rate brought about inflation rates which were responsible for the different nominal values of the vat collections. In other words,the underpinning factor of usd is the only acceptable denominator to ascertain estimated values of the collections. Since the government and Fowler were interested in comparing nominal values over time without inputting the impact of other variables (hypocrisy),it became a duty to inform them about the availability of the appropriate economic viewpoint. I rest my submissions here believing that those who truly wanted to be informed have benefited immensely from both theoretical and practical economics experience of some decades.

Mariory:


Most economists worth their salt know that the value of the Naira flunctuates with the price of oil becuase it is currently our major export.

So your calculation must acknoweldge that the price of oil between the two periods is vastly diferrent.

A look at the entire economy is different from the issue of vat that Fowler threw up. But in case you have a more elaborate explanation than the one he brought forward to compare 2012 and 2018 vat collections please put it up. We shall dissect it. Just bear in mind the actual meaning of vat. What I accuse the present government and Mr Fowler of is either hypocrisy or ignorance.

Mariory:


Why are you converting the Naira amount into Dollars without taking into account the price of oil during both periods? I'm intrigued what sort of economics thaught you that.

The vat is from non oil products. Did you study economics?

Can kindly explain this point in details?

Thanks as you create time to expatiate on this view.

Mr Fowler stated that his FIRS made about #1.1trn through Vat in 2018 and claims that it surpasses the 2012 record of #800bn made under the Jonathan administration. What everyone should simply do is divide both sums by the prevailing USD rates at the different periods. For instance in 2012 Usd was at about #150. In 2018 it became #360(min). When you do the arithmetic the figures that may emerge are $5,333m for 2012 and $3,055m for 2018. If you use the usd value of 2012 to seek the naira value of Fowler's collections for 2018, you will have a sum of about #458.33bn. Whereas the present Usd rate on the 2012 collections would be about #3.96trn. This is how economics thought us.

Mr Fowler may think himself too smart. By the time US dollar is brought into the mix,the half smart man will realize how stupid his answer as per non oil tax revenue is. For those that may not understand,the non oil tax revenue of Fowler is less than 50% of same nominal value under Jonathan era.

The attack is regrettable because I thought Ekweremadu had been a good Igbo ambassador. But for Umahi to say IPOB is cowardly and does not have the spread is a clear testimony to how infantile and myopic that he can be.

Shame unto all of them.

The ultimate sign is in your car. The maintenance guide and manual. Please consult it for the real maker's directives.

Anyim is entitled to his opinion. Obj to me remains the best civilian president Nigeria has produced this far. If we are to look at the senate presidents produced so far in Nigeria's democracy,I wonder if people will remember one Pious Anyim.

Let us tell this story in the next five years and determine whether the governor has achieved something.

The NYSC member acknowledged that they were abducted at gunpoint to unknown location and forced to write results for APC. Will there be criminal prosecution for this?

So said the personal spokesman of the president in the senate. We know men with balls when we see them. No be gragra.

I keep following this case with rapt attention. Still very interesting. Court matters. Nah wah.

It sounds so but any evidence to back it? As a collation agent,he deals directly with results and should have some copies with him or an iota of proof.instead,he dwelt on what was happening at voting points which wasnt his primary concern.meanwhile he didnt vote nor visit any units but dealt on imaginary hearsays.mutilated results or cancellations in result sheets is not unlawful as far as they tally with the pink copies.the pdp agent even presented 3 contradictory statements killing
his testimony.his final statements that results were merely read to the hearing of everybody satisfies the constitutional requirements of declaration of results.the pdp agent unknowingly affirmed the credibility of the results

That is very interesting.

This is one testimony that sounds credible to me.

Go to the ministry of environment. We all have rights. It is their responsibility to mitigate the noise. It's not only worship centres that noise pollution laws are made for.

The question is funny. How does that address the certificate issue?

For the sake of legal arguments,which law empowers inec to make rules for conducts required for smooth elections.

Sounds very stupid to me mainly because these inglorious people have proven recently that the nysc is not a necessary scheme while the idea is still foolishly centralized. Nysc kor n power ni.

Seems about time the judiciary should start looking properly at Efcc with a view to putting them where they belong. Some of their comments bother on rascality and lack of respect. Probably,the executive reckless deployment of power is also getting them intoxicated. What about striking out all their cases until they learn to respect the judicial authority and come up with unreserved public apology?

When thoughtless people take control,that is the result gotten. The bazaar declared by this administration in the name of promoting agriculture will soon hurt very badly. The nearest future for Nigeria is the worst type of poverty and possibly crisis. What the people here seem not to understand is that economy is the foundation of the society. Since this government lack that singular capacity,there is nothing to fall back on. No type of media propaganda can erase this reality. I am really afraid for Nigeria.

We have finished investigation on 35 state governors for corruption and the first on the list is Bola Tinubu. They will be prosecuted immediately their immunity elapses on handover day.- EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu in April 2007. Some of us have lived long enough not to believe all that we see or hear.

Kudos. You are an asset to the environment.

The story should have been titled Efcc in cold feet saga.

Maybe the first time in a long while I commend what the president said. But the real issue is if Nigeria can put it's infrastructure together quickly to enjoy the benefits of the trade agreement.

Sanwolu has started on a very wrong footing and seems headed for failure. His inability to appreciate the actual problems of his environment and the blind dash to rubbish the human rights achievements of his predecessor will probably make him the Rehoboam of Lagos. His seeming attitude to sound smart at all times may be putting his mouth into action before the brain and the possible pressure of the prostate economy may be a huge drive towards crushing the ordinary man for his pleasure and that of the leader master.

It's not too surprising because a lot of beautiful people can not be described as BB.

I think if they involved community leaders in the land it will really help ,a fulani man can't know our territory more than we do . Let all the bushes on our express way be cleared .

The community leaders can only help if they are genuinely involved and equipped. Unfortunately,the Fulani herdsmen are already well positioned in the parts of the forest you don't even know that exists in your land.

Up Tinubu!!!. The grandmaster of Lagos.
