SamuraiXXX:
A system that works yet at the age of 63 he jumps from house to house sleeping on friends' sofas?

If he were in Nigeria he would have built his own house by now no matter how small and he would have relatives he can rely on

Try comedy for a career.

Tell them you can hardly or cannot imagine a better job option with the growth path you envisage under them in few years.

Sometimes you balance out folly with equal measure o folly in reverse direction.

A system that works unlike the other one he escaped.
Someone entrusted to make the call was harsh but the system was alive for him.

This post shows Nigerians do not understand why they are poor and broke.

Two common misconceptions on this site

1.That income from less than 2 million barrels of crude oil per day can feed 230 million people

2.That a country does not need any form of taxes to go

3.That if we fight corruption, (a sentiment i agree with, we got to fight corruption)...somehow the income from 2 million bpd will be enough.

I mean, we are producing 1.7 m bpd on a good day, and that can feed a nation of just 2 million.

It's the flawed assumptions above that make talking and even discussing economics difficult. Everyone wants to talk about corruption as if ending it is the be all that ends all. Meanwhile, raising the point that the government is not making enough income, and that the vast majority of nigerians do not pay federal or state tax means you are agbado.(PwC and the world bank have proven through reports that Nigerians don't pay tax)

Nigerians also tend to wear distrust of the government as a badge of honor (unless their side is in power, then any issue is whoever is in oppositon fault...see how tinubuites are blaming obi and the north for issues right now). Yes, we should not trust the government, but the second step...holding government to account. It all starts and ends on this site. Not one nairalander is willing to join a party, form a party, form a pressure group, even form a club that would ask for the LG chairman to renovate the road in their area. Na to come and say whoever is in power is corrupt...as if that changes anything. We have been shouting Z and Y are corrupt since 1999....and nothing has changed because people are not willing to change.

I mean, I have not voted for pdp or apc since 2003. But trying to tell Nigerians to look at other parties brings mockery. Where is change going to come from

But I digress

Nigeria today has a very poor budget income. Oil prices have not been good to us, to the point our budget is running at a loss. All true...and the corruption makes things worse. But even if we have a revolution tomorrow, and jail tinubu and company and even jail all our past leaders...we would still be faced with 80% of income coming from less than 2 m bpd which as i have said can only feed 1-2 million people. How do we increase the money

That is the question I ask our government...how do we increase our money making capacity.

But asking the question makes many people angry. Its understandable...most of us are poor and broke. Hell, I know it well. I live here. But then you have people shouting saner climes, and expecting the same kind of health care, for example as the UK which spends up to six times our naitonal budget on healthcare alone. If not more.

Apparently saying that tinubu has failed in raising extra money, in doing the best to diversify the economy, and in taking nigeria off oil...a view I have held since 2011...with the GEJ govt, then the buhari government, and this one...and all our past governments...means I am a tinubu supporter.

Yes saying tinubu has failed means you support him.

It's time to heed some advice i got in 2021. Then again....


I would have left some articles here, but Matthew 7 vs 6-7 applies.

Good night.

Before crude was discovered, what did your fathers and mothers eat to have you?
Now if you agree they ate something without crude oil, and that crude oil funds is as good as tax in the hands of the leaders, tell me why should i submit my sweat to people who prioritize wastage and hajj or extremely useless projects to continue the charade so easily? Why?
It is clear who you work for. I know spambot is not intelligent nough to disvern that.

helinues:
You can't run any business in Kenya without paying tax.

If you are running foods and drugs business, it's not even about the tax but scrutinizing before approval.

When we said things are just too easy in Nigeria, some people dont understand

how on earth did 52 people like such comment?
Seem these guys are already arming themselves ahead of 2027 propaganda. Wooooow. Woooooow

The core reason we cannot be taxed anywhere near Kenyans is simple. Oil money. The availability of oil money from a small part of the country means theft or almost as good as free money. Now if free money is not managed well, how will the masses be encouraged to submit their sweat for mismanagement? How?

Impossible.

They also have a higher chance of being sponsored on religious ground with state fund.

Someone should tell that to Broda Billy Gates. He should put his money into more serious nations like DRC and Ghana.

DavidEsq:
When they decided to be useless?

havving a normal life is not uselessness in any way.

Religion i dont understand. A country can be negotiated without a religion. It is all about what they share in common and agreeing to walk together. Here in Nigeria, there is no real agreement to walk together. More of a phantom unity that cannot negotiated.

Koledowo & Oyiboyi style.

Lol.

Is the ownership of the school in question here? I doubt. It is already named Redeemers Uni after the church the man founded.

G. O. = General Overseer & != Founder.

N1.75M A DAY.

WAAWOOOOOO.

Hmmm. Endtime gifts are conditional now.

SeeWahala:
Ironic abi? no b lie .

That's why someone like CodeTemplarr wants to rewrite history in the full glare of all of us who were privy to the politics of the said time

Try harder. You the one rewriting it. If not despute my claims.
Same people who made enemies on his behalf and assumed the position of his emergency lover are still the ones opposing him today because their brother is also in the race.

SeeWahala:
Are you trying to say it was not the North and South West against the South South and South East back then the 2015 presidential elections? 🤔

I might be wrong but it seems you're trying to 'twist' history 🧐

I am talking between 2011 and 2014 when some people were relegated. If it was SW and north, what was his equivalent of alm-ajiri-schools in the SW?

For wailers, it was all out war on SW. They were too consumed by the urge to spite the nemesis and the idea of SS/SE against SW/North only existed above their medulla oblongata.

Politics is 80% spiritual in Nigeria. Most people you see who are passionate at the grassroot level have godfathers with benefits. Going beyond the grassroot, some region have tapped into the vast networks of darkness to expand grassroot outreach, and have religious leaders that can bend the will of their direct followers. Imams especially.

The brains of the people were largely bent against Jonathan, but jonathan also made the wrong friends. He built them alma-jiri-schools but they still kicked him out.
Whereas the SW that stood by him in 2009-2011 period of turbulence suddenly became the target of his people based on percieved opportunity to finally deal with tribal Golliath(Yorubas). They miscalculated. In their brains, they assumed it was SW versus SS/SE but the north showed them otherwise. The man is still hated today from what they poisoned the people with then.

Dalohad:
You see this Tinubu Tax thing. It will be the straw that breaks the camel's back for him..

The camel secretly underwent a spine transplant, and now spots a carbon-fibre reinforced metallic spine. The spine of the camel is now unbreakable as it stands. Just watch!

Lol for the "grave". Sagacious Yekini is too savvy for religious and over-entitled simpletons. He will come up with something that will confuse their brains into releasing the mandate.

I believe there are certain persons within Hamas leadership who are working for Israel.

Their own duty is to ensure that Hamas continues doing things that will make Israel takeover Gaza completely.

Evil spirit from the Lord they are ... lol.

What has Britain or Portugal got to say about this?

Where were these people when Palestine was fully in the hands of Hamas and causing harm to israel?
No wonder Jesus called them son of their father - the thief, destroyer and accuser.

Tinubu and his selected gang of "choppers" are not Nigerians at large.

So apt. The efffizzy is more important moat times.

Evolved alongside thee apes and not from themmm

AntiChristian:
In the olden days churches no dey get CAC. Now they file everything a company files but pay zero tax and make huge profit they call donations, seed, fruit, tithe, etc!

You are right do dont have CAC but CAC is not iptional for them. It was islamists that mandated it like that.

Dangote is a very efficient man. By delivering to the stations, he has closed the margin of inflation the marketers have been known to exploit. You cannot claim N50 as cost of transporting one litre when actual cost is N5. No more of that and it is good. First the international transport cost is gone and now the local cost is almost gone.
It also allows a reliable hand to micromanage the smuggling out of cheap fuel. Dont tell Dangote the border area consume more than centrally placed Nigerians. Not possible.
