What's wrong about what he said? Was obama.not backing buhari?

HVACSpecialist:
Although this is a reactive action by the obama administration which is adjuged to be slow and weak in taking decisive actions, it is a welcome development. lt is a matter of national security and can lead to cyber terrorism.TRUMP, OVER TO YOU!

Sunnycliff:
Shame on Obama! He should stop clunching on straw.

Karma giving him back the same treatment they offered to Nigeria towards its economic destruction by the repackaging of Buhari to decieve the gullible yet intelligent Westerners in Nigeria.

21bc:
Shame on you Obama, the democrats lost fair and square you guys should just accept it and move on, your tenure expires in a few days is this kind of last actions you want to be remembered for.

See how the US government is behaving, tomorrow they will be telling African leaders to leave office when they lose.......

Noneroone:
Obama is a fool
he is the worst president America ever had.

At least this latest move against Russia will push Russia into scuttling Obama's planned diplomatic move against Israel.

seXytOhbAd:
Lol... I am always amused by Nigerians and their flawed analysis of international relations. This is the second sanction Obama has placed on Russia... The first being an economic sanction about 3 years ago. It's interesting because Trump will become president and realise that he has to uphold the sanctions because the United States of America is an institution. If you chop punishment from the Headboy of the world, you better be humble. Trump will realise that being president isn't as easy as he assumes

The Federal Government has raised duties on luxury goods such as yachts and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) imported into the country. But also affected are some food items such as rice, salt and sugarcane that have local alternatives.

The plan to raise the duties which was first contemplated by former Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala under the immediate past administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan had remained on the drawing board due to Jonathan’s loss of the presidential election to the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari and the consequent change of officials between the former administration and the current one.

Under the new Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) Common External Tariff (CET) regime which administers import and export tariffs within the West African sub-region in the movement of goods, importers of yachts and other luxury automobiles such as SUVs, boats, sports cars, and other vessels used for pleasure are now to pay 70 per cent of the value of the vehicles as taxes (duties) to the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS). The new rate is a jump from the 20 per cent which the owners currently enjoy. The increase is contained in a circular by the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun to the NCS.

Other major items affected in the duty increase include sugar cane and salt from 10 per cent to 70 per cent; alcoholic spirit, beverages and tobacco from 20 per cent to 60 per cent; and rice from 10 per cent to 60 per cent.

Also included on the list are packaged cement, from 10 per cent to 50 per cent; cotton/ fabrics materials, from 35 per cent to 45 per cent; and used cars popular known as Tokunbo, from 10 per cent to 35 per cent respectively.

Medicaments such as anti-malarials and antibiotics; crude palm oil; wheat flour; tomatoes paste; and cassava products are also affected in the upward review of duties. But essential industrial sector accessories, including bolt, industrial oil and other equipment are to enjoy a downward review to spur local industrialisation.

The cut in the import tariff on items for industrial use may encourage entrepreneurs whose industries are shut down due to the high duties paid on imported components. Such companies may resume or expand their operations as a result of the incentives.

However, while the new policy may trigger a rise in the prices of some consumable goods until the demand for them is met locally, the NCS, which has been grappling with meeting the fiscal target set for it by the Federal Government may boost its revenue.

The policy which is coming on the heels of the recent ban by the NCS on all vehicle imports through the land borders in the country, as part of measures to curb smuggling of particularly used cars into the country is going to see citizens pay higher for used cars popularly known as ‘Tokunbo.”

The smuggling of cars into the country may have dealt a very big blow to the customs’ revenue generation as the budget minister recently announced that the NCS’ projected revenue for the third quarter of this year fell short of expectation by N100 billion, recording N200 billion instead of N300 billion target given to the agency by the Federal Government.

According to the Finance Minister, Buhari has already approved the new tariff regime.The circular reads in part: “This is to confirm that Mr. President has approved the 2016 fiscal policy measures made up of the Supplementary Protection Measures (SPM) for implementation together with the ECOWAS CET 2015 – 2019 with effect from 17th October, 2016.

“Consequently, all transactions prior to the effective date of this circular shall be subjected to the tariff rates applicable before the coming into effect of this 2016 fiscal policy measures.”

It added that the approved SPM was in line with the provision of the ECOWAS CET comprising the following:“An Import Adjustment Tax (IAT) list with additional taxes on 173 tariff lines of the extant ECOWAS CET; national list consisting of items with reduced import duty rates to promote and encourage development in critical sectors of the economy; an import prohibition list (Trade), applicable only to certain goods originating from non-ECOWAS member states.”

Adeosun declared that the current fiscal policy measures superseded those of 2015, and advised the customs and other stakeholders to ensure strict compliance.

The way people just advise that you keep banging her bla bla bla makes my stomach turn, really how do some guys just sleep with any and every lady they come across, i shake my bum bum for all of una o, Chao there is god sha.


Op, as interesting as the proposition of unlimited sex is, I'd advise you end it man, its not going to be worth it in the long run especially seeing as you actually have feelings for her, you'd end up hurt in the end, put yourself in her spouse shoes, the minute she mentioned she had a bf should have been your cue to run away.


Do unto others what you'd like to be done to you.

Amelian:
Happy married life to the couple. Some bad belle men here must talk, wishing they are in the guy's shoes.
When God bless una with such lovely lady una take her play ball. Until she nearly reach menopause. Her eyes are clear now, she's marrying a man who treats her like egg and she's happy, if even he looks like house boy. Give him 2years top in the marriage, he will look like Oga.
A friend of mine got married to such guy, she was 24years when she got married. And her husband does not joke with her even till after two kids. Maybe because he worwor die and his wife is very pretty.
She always tell me, amelian marry an ugly guy that has money.. He will virtually worship the ground u walk on. Am even the one making shakara for my husband and he dey praise me join. The day, her husband came. To. My office to pick her up. I was like blood of Jesus! But hey! She called she was feeling sick at my place and pronto, he took excuse from work and rushed down 2 my place..
I said I go love o
As she held onto his shoulders and assisted her to his car. While she winked@me

So peeps, those couples love themselves.. Let's wish them. Well.

The Senate has commenced the process of amending section 308 of the 1999 Constitution which gives immunity to president, vice president, governors and deputy governors in the country.

A bill sponsored by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege (LP, Delta) on the immunity removal has been referred to the Senate Committee on Constitution amendment chaired by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, Daily Trust reports.

The bill proposed the substitution of subsection 308(2) which reads “the provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party”, with a new section.

The proposed amendment reads, “the provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to, (a) ‘civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party’.

It (b) part reads, “criminal proceedings connected to, related to or arising from economic and financial crimes”.

It’s sponsor, Omo-Agege said like in the US, the president and the VP, governors and their deputies should only be immune from civil actions arising from their official actions while in office.

“They are not entitled to immunity from litigation for actions not germane to their work. For example a president or governor who buys a car for a child and refuses to pay can be taken to court while in office,” he said.

“Also like in the US, there should be no immunity from criminal investigation or prosecution for crimes committed either before or while in office.

“Recall that Mr. Spiro Agnew while a sitting VP under President Nixon was tried and convicted for tax evasion while in office. Bill Clinton as a sitting president was hauled before a grand jury by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr for perjury (lying under oath) while in office as president.

“Finally, Elliot Spitzer as a sitting governor of New York was tried and convicted for illicit solicitation for sex”, he added.

The sponsor believe that if the amendment is passed, there will be sanity, transparency and accountability in the Executive Arm of government, especially “Treatment of our state resources which most of them currently treat as slush funds”.

Because the baseline instinctof any man within 10yards of a woman he is not related to, is sex.
Those of your male friends who havent asked u simply do not have the guts or have weighed the pros and cons and decided against it.


But i assure you, they have definitely thought of it.

nnamdibig:
What gave you the right and guts to judge an "average" man this way?
Have seen case where ladies call men weakling for not doing all that you listed above.

On the other hand, as far as is not coming as a harassment, what's wrong in making sexual advances?

infomegaly:
The answer is NO!! a south African trained Lawyer is not eligible to practice At the Nigerian BAR (even if south Africa is a commonwealth country) or more appropriatly common law jurisdiction
Under the LEGAL PRACTITIONER'S ACT cap.L11 Vol  LFN 2004 the Act provides for three categories of persons entitled to practice law in Nigeria

A person trained in South Africa must attend The Nigerian Law School and become a member of the Nigerian Bar association to qualify to practice in Nigeria.  (though there is a possible exemption from the course at the law school- but the criteria for exemption from attendance at the Law school is not easy to meet (the exercise of the councils power to waive the requirement is very exceptional under sction 2(a) & 2 (b) Legal Education (consolidation) Act 1976

   critarial for exemption
1.  He is a Nigerian citizen

2.  He qualified to be admitted to the Law school

3   His qualifying subjects for admission to the Law school include allthe core subjects prescribed by the council of legal education

  4   At the time he qualified to attend the Law school or reasonable time thereafter he lost the opportunity of doing so            for     reasons beyond his control.

note   THIS POWER IS VERY EXCEPTIONALLY EXCERCISED under the professional Bodies special provisions ACt 1972 and the professionl Bodies (Legal profession) exemption order 1973.      


if you/your friend have more questions on this or other law questions you can post it here

Is it a coincidence than sambisa forest and Aleppo got liberated at the same time?

Is it a coincidence that these liberation arrived when Hillary Clinton lost the election and Obama is rounding up his tenure ?

Is it a coincidence that all these happened when most western powers are losing their seats from Cameron, Hollande et al?

There's more to terrorism that you a mind I know.
