[quote author=OK_2_NV link=topic=827167.msg9790680#msg9790680 date=1324221751]do you mean lagos?? [/quote]i mean your father's village.

Akainzo:
For your information, Tinubu is not in charge in Borno, there are good roads in Maiduguri, and there are no tolled gates there as well. When are you moving there just to escape this Tinubuphobia? In case, that place is too far, do exercise your right to live anywhere and move to your village, at least there tax would be 5%.

don't mind the charlatans!
they come to lagos to start demanding what would get them shot in their remote villages.
imagine ok-2-nv spewing balderdash and yet he won't move his arse from lagos to his village where no one taxes him.

odiaero:
Will do that, just have to take some precautions first

what precautions?
like taking a permission from the lagos state government before snapping the pic?
like getting a permission from your area-pastor to fast and pray before you can take the pics?
odiaero, stop taking the piss.

admit you are lying and i would ask msdarkskin to kiss your forehead.

MsDarkSkin:
HELLL NAW!!  
if i want corn, i will buy it from market jor!!!  

be merciful!
odiaero is a pilot(in his dreams). i am sure he gets pedicured every week.

odiaero:
your believe that everyone on Nairaland are broke has gotten deep inside u, only few people know me here

that is not the task i have given you.
you can post the picture of the cake you got - why exempt the car now?

of course, i am broke. i live in the poorest city in nigeria.
i can barely feed myself - i live on less than $0.20 a week but all those are not relevant to this topic.

post the picture of your car(customized plate).
just prove me wrong this afternoon and i would ask msdarksin to kiss your feet.

odiaero:
Na wao,
         Am really in a confused state now, this Girl is my property manager in Lagos and Enugu, have known her for 3 years now, and she takes care of my properties while am abroad, the girl have been trying all sorts of things when ever am around in the country in order to lure me into bed with her, but i as i dont mix business with pleasure have been dodging all the temptations, even to the extent of sleeping in hotels when ever am in the country

      This week  Tuesday was my birthday which i did not even remember (lol), and i called her to have a meeting in one of my houses in lagos so to know how the tenants are doing, to my suprise b4 i get there on the appointed time, on opening the gate, i was surprised to see her and  a group of females singing " Happy Birthday To You "  to me behind a 2010 Toyota Camry with a customized number plate in my name .

Now i dont like the idea, i pretended to be happy in other not to spoil anyone's mood. The main thing now is i want to return the Car which is still park inside the compound, i want the way to do  it without hurting anyone.

this is a lie from the pits of hell. . . . .
show us the picture of this birthday gift esp the customized plates.

naija babe would buy you a car? who you be?
denzel washington?

if this is a dream, you better wake up quick.

dayokanu:
Someone claims because he pays taxes he should be exempted from paying tolls,[b] Pls in which country [/b]does something like what you are requesting happens?

maybe in the kingdom of hell - where he hails from.

StarBoard:
The problem with the above is making Jones a midfielder.
Let's just say he's a great athlete.

this term alone, we have had. . . .
fletcher(hiv-virus), anderson(broken leg), giggs(old n grey) gibson(brain farts) cleverley(ankle). . .i think fergie's hands are tied!
although, he brought this upon himself. even before scholes retired, we all felt united needed at least 2 central midfielders.
now we need about 4. . .unless cleverley and anderson gets back in january(before the end of the transfer window).

a coward using a faceless medium to air his frustrations.
your mates are on the streets protesting - you are behind a dusty dell desktop sounding like a depraved beast.
i reiterate, if lagos is too steep a price to pay, go back to your father's village.

karl max:
^^ don't waste your Time. Educating him his not even from lagos if he is which village in lagos did he come from just like the rest of dem who claim lagos state on NL

spoken like a true photosensitive epileptic patient.

The One:
@coogar you ignorant thing! You still don't get it do you? Stop making assertive statements as if you know! If you earn a million a year, you are not in the highest tax band so your tax cannot be 200,000.

I'm expecting your next show of ignorance.

you are a disgrace. . . .it's a shame you still don't get it. . .
my point is - what you pay in tax is insignificant because it's dependent on your income.
the government didn't just ask you to pay 8 million. it's because your income falls in that range of people who should be paying 8 million - jeeeez!
your reasoning is so obtuse.

so because you pay 8 million means you shouldn't pay @ toll plazas?
are you really this thick? what has your income tax gotta do with the road?
you guys really need to explore the world beyond you and see how things are done in the developed world.
the 1st world countries work a treat because their citizens pay for the luxuries - go and pay @ the toll plazas and stop whining like a hungry kitten.

[quote author=OK_2_NV link=topic=827167.msg9790354#msg9790354 date=1324218066]which amenities? my friend go and support Tinubu some place else[/quote]if lagos is not affordable - try zamfara!

una too plenty - the amenities are struggling to go round.

StarBoard:
Unfortunately I tell it as it is.Never hidden my disdain for Carrick but it won't Obscure the fact that he played extremely well today.
I feel he doesn't take the midfield by its collar far too often.But maybe if deployed properly,he can do some part in filling our midfield void.

but what you completely miss is the fact that in those games people thought he played poorly were games where he paired with giggs or anderson(neither of them can hold). with phil jones, you have 2 good midfielders who can both hold and can both gallop forward. jones is quick. he can quickly recover if he or carrick loses the ball and the danger is averted.

carrick has been buzzing for the past 6 games or so now.

StarBoard:
, nice performance.
Maybe it's not that bad.Michael Carrick was splendid.I hope his excellent goal will give him the platform to grow and be a midfield boss for us.
I would worry about our finishing.For all the great play today,2-nil isn't justice as a final score line.

i never thought i would read this from starboard in my lifetime.
jeeez, i was hoping i would have been long dead before i hear this scintillating comment about carrick from starboard!

The One:
@coogar is so ignorant! Is is that you don't know that tax band in Nigeria is 5 - 25% with 25% being highest. The reason why it's 20% for highest band is that you have a 20% personal allowance so it's 25% of 80%.

You people just come here as if you know what you are talking about!

you are the ignoramus here. . . .telling us you have paid 8 million naira this year. . . what you pay in tax is dependent on your income.
if you had made 1 million naira income this year, your tax would be around 200,000 naira.

the tax band in nigeria being 5-25% is too low. it should be more!
the upper limit - lower limit is too low. it should be something like 15% - 45%.

The One:
Lekki is my immediate environment and I spend 95% of my time there. People in those areas don't have two heads as not to pay tolls. Which security are you talking about? I pay for security because police is useless. Which business environment? It's the most hostile anywhere in the world. Thank God I work for a MNC which deals in a global commodity not affected by local issues. If not, LASG policies and inactions would nearly have killed it. A lot of you do not feel the pulse of the citizenry, you have been given a hatchet job and you must do it without thinking.

And yes, fortunately for me, I've earned 40 million this year. Does that say I should be cheated?

you and the man who paid 1 naira tax this year because he made 5 naira are the same thing.
both of you paid 20% tax. you have not been cheated, he has not been cheated.

as a matter of fact, you should be paying a bit more as a high earner. your tax should be 40-50%.
that's how it's done in the ideal world. the rich should pay more so the government can take care of the poor.

The One:
I ask again.

I personally have paid more than 8 million naira in taxes this year. My question is, will Fashola alllow me claim my toll expenses as tax rebate? If not, what exactly is the use of all that tax?

Forget all the shenanigans and rigmaroling discussions, this is the funamental question people are asking. Does my huge tax not qualify me for amenities? If the govt feel they cannot do it and outsource it, is it not then morally right that I also withold some of my taxes to cover for this?

This is the fundamental issue

paying 8 million naira in taxes means nothing - what you pay is dependent on the tax rate in lagos.
if the tax rate is 10% in nigeria, it means you have made 80 million this year.

i can pay 500 million naira tax if i have made 5 billion naira as income this year(assuming tax rate is 10%).
your huge tax does not qualify you for amenities - cos that's the way it is all over the world.

The One:
In essence you are saying I should not expect anything back for my tax. If you know anything I enjoy for all that tax, pls point it out to me

what should the brits do if you are here moaning about your tax in lagos?

on top of my 32% wage-tax, i pay the following. . .

council tax
congestion charge
toll plaza
road tax
vehicle license
tv license(after buying a television and paying to subscribe to cable tv).

and you're here complaining about amenities?

Akainzo:
You do not know what having 2 cars has to do with a definition of a poor family?? Are you really serious?

Any family that has 2 cars definitely aint a poor family, or do poor people in US have 2 cars? Do not allow sentiments to affect your sense of reasoning.

Hmmm Londoners should be asking their govt why the taxes paid is not enough and why they have to pay additional tolls just to drive within central London.

don't mind the enemies of progress. . . . .
lagos has to be the most congested state on the planet and yet people don't car-pool. a rich chief with 30 cars would ask all his drivers/kids, etc to take all the cars out and congest the roads. irresponsibility of the highest order.

this toll plazas would reduce the number of cars on the road - which is good news to lekki residents anyway. . .and they don't have to use that road.
they can trek, use a ferry/canoe or whatever means they can dream of. the government needs those funds to maintain/construct more roads in lagos like it's done in the developed countries.

tkb417:
hey guys

does anyone here know how many points we were leading Arsenal with in 03-04 season before we suffered dip in form (coinciding with Ferdinands injury)

thanks

ferdinand's suspension, you mean!
we were leading them by just 3 points.

07/01/2004
man utd--P20 W16 D1 L3 GF40 GA14 PTS49

arsenal--P20 W13 D7 L0 GF36 GA 13 PTS46
-----------------------------

19/01/2004
arsenal--P22 W15 D7 L0 GF42 GA14 PTS52

man utd-P22 W16 D2 L4 GF40 GA15 PTS 50

rio ferdinand's ban started on the 12th of january 2004.
david dein gave arsenal the title from then on. . . .rio missed a drug test, no drugs taken(8 months ban ), kolo toure took drugs(6 months ban)

Nj girl:
perfectly said sister. Its annoying d way some men objectify women. Cohabiting is d reason we have a million threads on aborting unwanted babies.
@ post no is d answer cos not only is d sin of 4nication  unavoidable in cohabition, heart break after prolonged cohabition is d worst kinda heartbreak especially in this part of d world where in such a situation, d woman wld be viewed as a LovePeddler and d man as a player, i say a big no no  to cohabition.

for saying that with a straight face, you should be in nollywood!

so you mean couples who live separately don't have unprotected sex? only cohabiting couples do?

2AMLasgidi:
Now the whole protest has fallen like a pack of card. Yoruba people will say "A house that was built with 'ordinary saliva' will be distroyed by dew" what do you expect of a politically motivated protest?

Is it the same LEKKI RESIDENT that protested yesterday that are paying the toll this morning.It is becoming clearer that yesterday's protest was Bode George handiwork (it failed!!!) Genuine agitation of Lekki people are: Give us an lternative route (It was provided). Also reduce toll fee,  (not done) this i think should have been the people's point of arguement and request,

babatunde fashola is too nice for lagosians!

in his shoes, i would spray hundreds of toll plazas on the major roads in lagos. any lekki resident who feels that particular road should not be tolled can ply the alternative routes. it's not by force to use a tolled road. they all argue lekki is a residential area and it shouldn't be tolled. . . .what about the commercial joints in the lekki area? what about the massive multi-national companies that are populating the whole place and making lekki landlords laugh to their bank?

Maybe we should compare Toni Kroos to guys who play similar Roles to him in Man Utd -Anderson

anderson: 2 league goals in 8 league apps
toni kroos: 1 league goal in 32 league apps

dayokanu:
You are a tool I repeat you are a tool

On September 14 2011 Toni Kroos scored the first goal vs Villareal in the CL game in madrigal

On October 18 2011 Toni Kroos scored the first goal vs Napoli in a CL game at naples

Coogar what did I say?

YOU ARE A PHAT TOOL

32 league games, you neophyte!
who doesn't know toni kroos scored in the champions league - see this mumu.

the last time toni kroos scored a league goal was 29th october 2010.
yet, you have the chutzpah to mention this kid's name in comparison to ashley young?

dayokanu - may the gods shrivel your c[i]o[/i]ck.

sexkillz:
[color=#000070]And why did you choose your answer?


Personally, i think they all do! In the long run their escapades catch up with them! Cheating wives, girl friends, boyfriends & husbands all get what? CAUGHT!

Why venture into an adventure you know will leave you embarrassed? What's fun about that?

Are they that dumb or what? [/color]

not all players get caught - or lemme simply say the notorious players don't get caught.
only the amateurs, wannabes or the pseudo-players get caught.
the notorious players are professional about their tasks - they come out of their venture unharmed and undiscovered!

the notorious players plan, plot, strategise and calculate the risks to the 5th decimal place.
if the venture would expose him, he wouldn't even go into it. every move has been mapped out and he knows his escape route even before he starts the project.

in the end, you would just hear myths & rumours. . . .nothing concrete!
their escapades can only be whispered under the breaths of their victims.
the fact is - a real player can't be caught.

ritchboy:
Thomas Vermaelen has a better goal-ratio than Torres

prove it. . . .

vermaelen(22 goals in 202 appearances)
torres(177 goals in 422 appearances)

ritchboy, you are a lunatic!

Ibime:
You score 5 goals in a calendar year and you still get mind to vex because dem bench you?

Ibime:
Samuel Eto Fils is over 30 years old abeg. Lets talk about current players. 
There are only two candidates - Villa and Torres.
Villa is cool, but I prefer big strikers cos they allow you to play with one upfront effectively, hence Torres is the best!

barely, 2.5 yrs ago, ibime was kissing the feet of fernando torres as the best striker in the world.
how did torres became so shyte that ibime now feels he's the wackest striker ever.

it only tells you one thing. ibime/dayokanu/bluediva are media whores.
they only go with reigning strikers(and the moment that striker is out of form - they change gears like the british weather)

i can remember when dayokanu haunted ronaldo(not a big game player), rooney(liability), berbatov(sloth), etc.
there was a time he lavished praises on klose(highest goal scorer in tournaments), podolski(the best young player in the world), etc.

if you check his recent comments on the german strikers - dayo has been stabbing them they are shyte and his erecti[i]o[/i]ns have now shifted to mario gomez and tony kroos(although he went 32 games without a goal until tonight) - a fact dayokanu hid from nairalanders.

dayokanu:
Bayern would show you how to handle Basel

Hope you tune in and watch

just like they handled man city @ etihad stadium.

MarcAnthon:

My colleague came to the office this money looking so pale and sad.After few minutes of trying comfort her,she opened up to me and i was very shocked at what she said.
After closing from work yesterday,she had to rush to market to get few things so she got home rather late.Her husband already called her to say he had a guest(one of his male friends) and she told him, she might come home late.
So on approaching their flat, she heard them discussing so she decided to eavesdrop.
i wish she hadn't cos it turned out to be that they were talking about her and
according to her, this was what she heard
Friend: ah! my wife good well! well! oo.she sabi do am well.no style wey she no fit do.sometimes i wonder who teaches her cos its like she brings new ideas everytime.
Husband:My own wife no sabi anything joor. na so she go dey form yeye S.U. I go even dey fear to suggest some things cos she no go gree.
Friend: but u fit teach am naa.
Husband: dat one ready to learn anything? mtscheew!
Friend: she go learn oo.cos she no go want make dem snatch you (laughs).
Husband:Na she sabi, make she no learn naa. wetin concern me.( moves on to tell him several ugly things about her).

According to her, the most painful thing is dat she always try to satisfy him in bed and he has never complained to her before.so why telling his friend instead of letting her know how he feels?
2) All along, his friend never said anything bad about his wife instead he was praising her while her own hubby kept dissing her.
But men nawa for una ooo.so una too dey do amebo. infact na una own bad pass(life destroying version. now the poor lady feels very bad
about herself.

much ado about nothing, really!
this is a normal pub gist for men sharing the pains of marital status.

why was she eavesdropping?
when you sniff where you are not supposed to, your nostrils would pick dirt!

go to hairdressing salon and hear worse and ridiculous stories women share there.

You always wonder why that particular member is always after you, likes to comment on any post you make looking for conflicting ideas to argue on.

Don't worry! You'd never guess but that person is unconsciously attracted to you. There is something about you that calls their attention, so they can't help but challenge you all the time.

It's the same as when kids pick on their favourite mate but since they are kids, they don't realize they actually like them. As adults we should know better but hey! wisdom isn't built in a day.

Believe me, take the fight away from NL; to yahoo or any private chat. Curse yourselves to death and after the first and second chat you'll be admiring the other person's life, studies and even looks!

Talking from experience as my best pals today are people who wanted my blood shed on this forum, and of course I felt the same way about them.

Your worst enemy of the opposite gender on NL may be the friend/lifemate you've been looking for all your life.

[quote author=omo_to_dun link=topic=826290.msg9774810#msg9774810 date=1323990640]Good Afternoon,

   My dear Nigerian brothers and sisters, if complaining about the socio-economic and political state of Nigeria would have solved her little problems, they would have been solved eons ago because the main manifest virtues that we inherited from our ancestors are the art of complaining , arguing amongst ourselves about our problems, positing different solutions, and, ultimately, implementing absolutely nothing.

The only way that we can get out of any problem in life, be they national instability or underdevelopment, or unemployment, or ill-health, etc,  is by continuous fasting and prayer. Yes, you read that right.

Pray from morning till night. Fast from dusk till dawn. Bog the crap out of God and fill His in-box with your requests. To hell with practical solutions.

Instead of looking for a job, or, better yet, instead of creating one by using the skills that you have learnt so far in the course of your education, or from your experience and/or environment, you should genuflect, look up to sky and beg God for a job.

Instead of studying, you should pray till the very last minute, because Jesus said that, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by the words that proceed out of the mouth of the Almighty." The Holy Spirit will lead you to the right answers.

Instead of relying on yourself and thinking about ways in which you could positively impact your country, you should complain day and night, argue with your friends about the ineptness of your leaders, about the developmental stagnation of your country, and then continue praying to God, because His time is the best and He knows what you are going through. How  would you appreciate Him if you are an independent, thoughtful, and problem-solving individual?

Instead of putting in fruitful hours into your passion, you should go to your place of worship, dance for hours, sing like a fat child who has happened upon cake, and make your desires known to God. Remember, where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there with them(So all those prayer wey u dey pray on ya own, Baba God no go answer o because Him talk sey you must be at least two people. I don talk my own o).

Are you searching for a spouse? Off to the house of God because without a human mediator(that is Pastors, Alfas, Babalawos etc) your search will inexorably end in vain. If it does not, your marriage will. Except the Lord buildeth that house, they that doeth so, doeth so in vain. Be warned. Why should you waste time getting to know a man or woman when God can tell His servant who is the perfect person for you.

The more perceptive of you may opine that we already do all these. We pray like no other nation on earth. Yes, we do allocate copious amount of time to prayers, but I dare say that it is not enough; not only must we fast and pray till our breath is almost out and till we are at the point of death but also till reality has become a sort of fatuousness that inanimate objects seem to move on their own accord. Only then will the Almighty send forth his Angels to miraculously change Nigeria. Remember, it is because of our inadequate prayer sessions that God is punishing us with homosexuals, kidnappers, corrupt officials, joblessness, and other forms of evils. These things are foreign to the African culture. We have always been a pure, God-fearing, kind, loving, and war-hating group of people.

Those who have ears, let them ear.

Alhaji omo_to_dun.

If you are not a Christian, kindly replace any aforementioned verses with the equivalent ones from your Holy Book. Given the similarities amongst most religions, I am deeply convicted that you would not be hard-pressed to find such verses.[/quote]prayers without work achieves nothing, i am afraid!

In order to avoid all these arguements and insults. Eros had given a very sincere and truthful advice; SET THE DAMNED THING ON FIRE and there will be nothing to fight over.

Rather Torres has a knack for mismanaging good teams

liverpool? athletico?

Chicharitos scoring record shytes on Torres

cos we play to chicharito's strengths.
he gets good service from tireless/selfless united players. . . . .i cannot say the same @ chelsea.

was shevchenko shyte too? was kezman? was crespo?
chelsea are a useless side. only drogba justified the £24m chelsea paid for him and he took him 3 seasons to find his feet.
