God1000:
Instead of deporting, why aren't they Vetting and Helping those that have been there for years to get their citizenship.

Seems they’re only concerned about the brown ones for now. Patiently waiting to see the flights to European and African countries

Meanwhile I hardly come across Japa thread these days on nairaland, I think it's time all countries tight their immigration laws especially developed countries and make it difficult for foolish trump supporters to travel out.

go home

Dhoneymix:
The first thing I checked was the author, and immediately I know exactly what to expect in the warped article. Thank goodness I am not disappointed! The earlier these people change their orientation the better. Watch out, they'll come for my head now 😜


Playing the victim card as has been played since the civil war will not take you anywhere. It will only worsen the situation.

While I agree that Nigeria should have carried out necessary rebuilding of the region, the disposition and utterances of certain leaders from that region have made it impossible.

Jonathan should have done it seamlessly! But the guy fidgeted when he had the power.

The way you people sound stupid ...it is just amazing


So you forgot the content and start focusing on the author...that's stupid of you


Define fallacy of Ad Hominem

Calitoscassius:

dermmy:
Off course they are 6th gen prototypes. Do they look like your usual 4th/5th gen aircrafts. Oh may be you are confused cause they don't look like f22 and f-35 which you claimed Russia and China copied😂.

Leave that dude ...he is confused

LegendHero:
Lol you Ibos and manufacturing lies to please yourself.

The guy in SaharaReporters said he identify with his Fulani side. That is the danger of intermarriage in Yorubaland.

I am telling you my experience with some of them you cal it manufacturing lies

Well....I noticed that you guys enjoy telling yourselves lies


Have you ever seen Dino Call himself a Yoruba

Xisnin:
It is all well and good that your Okun and Kabba friends don't identify as Yoruba.
Now, have you ever seen anybody trying to beg or force an identity on such people through popaganda or
even go to the length of bribing them to become the leader of a Yoruba cultural group?
That would be an abomination and that is something you guys can learn.
It is foolish to force an identity on a person who doesn't want.
I hope you get my reference.

are you done

Dalohad:
Exactly the same way some of us Yorubas are happy to see Rivers Igbo indigenes denying their Igbo ancestry.

What goes around comes around.

wetin concern me ...but Ohaneze Igbo chairman Na Rivers Igbo

Many Okun and Kabba people hate identifying as Yoruba...I know many here in Lagos

LifeOfTrigga:

geosegun:
Did he tell you; he did not have some money? He needs sellable skills. there are many opportunities in Nigeria and with the little funds and careful planning. He can get his life back, full time and still be a blessing to others.

This is where you are missing it. Most of you think it is all about money, all the time. This life is more than money. Fulfilment of purpose and peace of mind surpasses all.

Even if it is 1 or 2 houses (plus landed secured somewhere properties) that he is getting some rentage form and a few other stuffs that he does that brings money. then he is averagely secured financially at least until he finds his feats.

One thing most of you don't realize is...you sow what you reap into an environment. if you sow negativity, then you will reap the reward, but if you decide to sow positivity, you will always see opportunities where others are complaining.

Nigeria remains one of the best places to make it easily and legit too.

I agree with you.... Most of these kids here are just slavery minded

Coldie:
I am not living my life, am tired of this lifestyle here

Return to Nigeria...some of us are doing great here in Nigeria

For you to make it in Nigeria, be a problem solver

And that is the truth

They should do that in Nigeria... federal workers aren't doing much in Nigeria

Pile of flying junks....no wonder Putin has been bringing them down with his panskir anti aircraft defense

Raf4:
VAT is different from all those demand notes, rates and locally imposed taxes by the state snd local governments.
VAT is being controlled by FGN and there is no way you can evade VAT except you are into illegal production and your business/office is not registered.

Go and pay VAT on Iya Biliki Amara joint at Bodija Ibadan....tell me how you can pay VAT on a plate of food there ..yes she is producing good but you can't pay VAT on this

If you get this simple anology then you will understand while tons of people producing goods in Aba that you erroneously call IBO MADE that you buy in Lagos can be made to pay VAT cos they aren't captured

Raf4:
VAT is not controlled by your local or state government. Low VAT in the SE means low production and low consumption. If you bought common tom-tom you have automatically paid VAT. If you produced and sold common biscuits, you have automatically paid VAT. It is not negotiable.

the type of education they dish out in that una SW schools are terrible! VAT for Christ sake is consumption tax...I can't believe that people can be this shallow


High Value Added Tax (VAT) does not necessarily mean high production because VAT is a consumption tax, not a direct tax on production. Here’s why:

1.VAT is a Consumption Tax VAT is levied on the value added at each stage of the supply chain, but it is ultimately borne by the final consumer. High VAT rates increase the cost of goods and services for consumers, but they do not directly incentivize or disincentivize production. Production levels depend more on factors like demand, technology, labor, and capital investment.

2. Impact on Demand: High VAT can reduce consumer purchasing power, leading to lower demand for goods and services. If demand falls, producers may reduce output, which could lead to lower production levels rather than higher ones.

3.Production Costs vs. VAT Production costs are influenced by factors such as raw materials, labor, energy, and technology. VAT does not directly affect these costs. Even with high VAT, if production costs are low due to efficient processes or cheap inputs, production can remain high.

4.Tax Burden Distribution: In some cases, businesses may absorb part of the VAT to remain competitive, which can squeeze profit margins but not necessarily reduce production. Alternatively, they may pass the full burden onto consumers, which could reduce demand and indirectly affect production.

5. Economic Policies and Incentives: High VAT might be part of a broader tax system designed to generate government revenue. If the government uses this revenue to invest in infrastructure, education, or technology, it could indirectly support higher production in the long run. However, this depends on how the revenue is utilized.

6.Global Competition In a globalized economy, high VAT in one country might make its products less competitive internationally, potentially reducing exports and production. Conversely, countries with lower VAT might attract more investment and production.

7. Informal Economy High VAT rates can sometimes encourage the growth of the informal economy, where goods and services are traded without VAT being collected. This can distort production statistics and reduce the effectiveness of VAT as a revenue tool.

In summary, high VAT affects consumption and pricing rather than directly influencing production levels. Production is more closely tied to factors like demand, input costs, technology, and economic policies.


But to make you feel good....HIGH VAT means that you are producing fantastically...if that makes you feel go..so be it


Ignorance is bliss

Putin will be laughing bunch of NATO guys

We are travelling to UK where we can get access to good medical care....this is it

obedience4:
I don't know more than him, but one thing I know is that the US have won wars in the last forty years, and that you clown is Fact.. it's can't be disputed..

You are shallow


Tell us the war

ObosiLandlord:
Alright... We will keep on feeding you but we won't let anybody from the parasitic region rule Nigeria.

Keep taxing yourselves and be send the money down...it's a task you must do .

It's a generational task

ObosiLandlord:
But the parasites can collect from other people tax

exactly

Standing5:
What comes from Abia, Imo and Anambra combined is less than what Ondo alone contribute. Fact.

okay

gidgiddy:
Why? What do they need 'one Nigeria' for? What the fascination with this?

One Nigeria is important ..we need this

History555:
Sw should tax themselves more
Se should pay less vat
We shall all share the sw tax
God bless the sw as they pay more tax for sharing

I don't think this is fair....I know the tax burden in Lagos...many corporate firms in Lagos operate hiding or codedly...they don't put signboard of their companies they are hidden in residential areas and they are not okay with the high taxing

Standing5:
They is o. Just wait until Lagos Ogun and Oyo start coming up with environmental excuses to intercept those profit they are sharing with parasitic regions.

And wait till Imo, Delta, Rivers , Abia come up with excuses not to allow their natural gas flow to Egbin and other power station and review their oil in pipelines

ObosiLandlord:
Alright Parasite.

lol

They decided not to over tax themselves doesn't make them parasites

SeeWahala:
I am not calling for separation me? I love the status quo so much it hurts when I read fellow igbos trying to enlighten these illiterate RoNu's we have here.

That separation option is open for the Yoruba people to take if they so wish

I know my lovely Yoruba brothers will not want separation either

Who actually cares

SeeWahala:
GBAMsolutely!

It's obvious flesh and blood didn't reveal this reality to you

Don't call for separation of Nigeria please....the North and South East are okay with the situation on ground please

SeeWahala:
Erm, referendum for a breakup of the country whenever the monkey dey work - baboon dey chop situation tire them and their forefathers

That tax reform ish is currently sitting on a garbage heap somewhere in the north where the people there have abandoned it to rot

But ...I am enjoying the unity of Nigeria...it is sacrosanct and the North is with the East on this Tax Thing
