IF THEY ARE NOT COMMENDING THEY ARE CONDEMNING?

WHAT ARE THEY?

WHAT EXACTLY IS THEIR JOB?

INSTEAD OF COMMENDING, MAYBE THEY SHOULD CONTRIBUTE ONE MILLION NAIRA EACH AND GIVE A 'CASHY' COMMENDATION!

Accept Jesus Christ into your life and be delivered.

Go to a Bible believing pentecostal around you quickly so they can pray for you.

Swallow your pride and do the right thing.

A country that is weak at home cannot be strong outside!

It is Nigerians who are rushing to go to SA. Not the other way round.

If SA offers 1 million visas today, it will likely be exhausted before dawn.

I dont like what SA government are doing but let us face our problems at home and solve some of them.

I just deleted everything I wrote- In this country we are not tired of talking but to do is a different thing. And even those who talked yesterday have stopped talking because they have started chopping!

Everything that has a beginning has an ending.

All lies will ultimately be revealed and only the truth will stand.

Tribunal or no tribunal, our trust is in God.

No matter how dark the night is, morning will come in due time.

Kingdoms of this world will come and go. Tenures will come and go. Yesterday was OBJ, today PMB, God holds tomorrow.

Only God's kingdom is forever.

Nigeria and Nigerians shall be saved in Jesus name. Amen.

Ghana in 2017 introduced a new VAT flat rate scheme (VFRS) of 3% for retailers as against the existing normal rate of 17.5%. Debate, similar to that VAT, as to the tax incidence and the cascading effect on businesses in the distribution chain ensued. The Revenue Authority and retail businesses are content that VFRS will mitigate the tax burden of consumers and simplify its calculation.

No wonder that country is growing fast.

awgumayor:
7% vat. No wonder Nigeria is undeveloped. People want good road, constant power supply, other good infrastructures but don't want to pay tax. How can the country develope with meagre 7% vat.

You dont understand the dynamics. There is a large percentage that they cannot get 1% VAT from due to the way business is done here and due to lack of transparency.

So, Mr A sells a phone and does not charge VAT because FIRS cannot move near him and because the phone came through illegal channel into the country. Mr B sells the same phone at a price that is 7.5% higher than Mr A. Who will you buy from? Will you buy the cheaper or the more expensive? That is why the increase is counter-productive. They are killing genuine businesses who are paying their dues!

The fight should have been to make everybody pay, but is seems they lack the will or the drive to make that happen.

Finally, they have given up on efforts to tax the rich and now want to vex their frustrations on the middle class and SMEs.

Instead of further widening the net to make the non-payers to pay, they now want to punish those who have been complying.

Very backward development.

The Parliament is in their pocket, so that is another hopeless situation.

What a way to celebrate the victory at the tribunal?

Anyway, everyday for the thief, just ONE day for the owner.

Kwantinue.

Dont blame the lawyers.

They dont refuse jobs, especially when the petitioner can pay!

All the sales reps I ever hired got bigger and better paying jobs while actively doing the sales and enjoying it!

My advice to you is contained in that line. Study it!

And by the way, I never paid them as low as you are paid, yet they used the job as platform to get better jobs.

That is the way life is.

Many graduates see their certificates as achievement instead of seeing it as a platform for the next level. What is the B.Sc? It used to be something special some forty years ago but it has now become as common as what school cert used to be in those days.

Think about relationships when you are some distance to getting married! If you are not in that frame for the next five years, then use your energy to build your future.

Above all, believe. Believe in God. Believe and pray in the name of Jesus. And build good confidence also in yourself.

Government across board has been irresponsibly insensitive.

There seems to be some leading lights, like Governor Makinde.

It is a lesson to the electorate - Stop voting for irresponsible people, girl beaters, domestic abusers and looters into government.

Ex governors with fraud allegations and cases have turned the Senate into their retirement home, courtesy of myopic and ignorant voters who keep on voting them.

Tinubu swindled lagos, but as it stands today, lagos is still billions of miles ahead of all south eastern states.

Btw, what stops you from relocating to your unswindled state?

xenophobia! before you scream I am from SW

jhydebaba:
Den let's play away match. We are storming South Africa.

We can try the reverse. Offer free tickets to all our people to come back home and see how many of them will accept the offer!

I just read it. Part of it says - “Send down Your fire upon every person or organisation that are making life difficult for the common people people of the nation. Father expose them and dislodge them,” Vanguard quoted him as saying.

Nothing here to suggest he rained curses on those who kidnapped his pastors.

stormborn28:
why did South Africa has to start it in the first place...

Even between husband and wife a fight can ensue. If they ask this question (who started it and why) 90% of all marriages would have hit the rocks!

We have to avoid stereotypes. A good number of South African will never be found on the street looting shops and hurting foreigners. If we spend our energy reacting to miscreants we would end up with nothing. Have you seen how some people in Lagos destroyed and looted shops belonging to Nigerians, all in the name of reprisal? The people who looted the phone shop owned by a lady from Delta, do they represent us?

Asito:
But rain curses on people who kidnapped your pastors

Is that true? Can you share the video?

The best advice so far.

Why start a war that may not end in a long time?

Why should the two largest economies fight against each other, knowing that may affect the entire continent?

If African countries start to chase each other out we would have gone backwards by a hundred years.

Maybe that is why notable world leaders are quiet about the matter. If Africans cannot coordinate themselves, the West could take advantage again and sell us arms.

Willy7:
I think this man is testing the waters. He is aware of the people's mind towards him concerning being a better Presidential hopeful. The pendulum may swing towards his direction, and I hope he takes advantage of this moment to endear himself to Nigerian. I see a great President in this guy. He has the carriage, aura and intelligence. I just wish we all can drop our tribal sentiments and political leanings to support this man to reposition this country. Though I'm neither PDP nor APC, neither am I from his tribe, but I prefer this Adeshina to the crop of politicians we have at the moment.

It might be a good idea indeed and he has proved to be competent.

However, does anyone still think that one man can make the difference in this clime? If you have a brilliant president working with a bad parliament, the president may not be able to do much.

What we need is an overhaul of how we do politics. We need strong systems and not just a few strong individuals.

Who will help us get lawyers to fight for compensation from a Parliament that robs the people?

Nigerian politicians should face the truth - Charity begins at home. 90% of the Nigerians in SA will not even come back to Nigeria because of the injustice and corruption going on here.

Charity begins at home. What are the reps doing to curb kidnapping, youth unemployment etc?

Make your home great and see how Nigerians abroad will troop back home to do their business here.

If South Africa offers 1000 free entry now, I wonder how many people will apply!

Okada and Marwa riders who wanted to take advantage..

You should have put your hand inside to touch it to really prove your point!

Sommydisaster:


Everyone's saying same old thang

No one's taking action towards what they preach.......

Like 2face said......... All man for himself

Meanwhile check out my signature and thread for beautiful offers on electronics

They are playing to the gallery. They will be back there next month to earn rands! The crowd in SA embassy in Nigeria is more than 20 times those who go to our embassy there. Charity must begin at home.

FG is asking South African government to compensate the Nigerian businesses there. Good move.

Please, is FG going to compensate Nigerian businesses that are looted here and those who have not been able to open shops for more than 48hours now?

By the way, I still think the best way for Nigeria to balance things is to help our nationals to grow big businesses around Africa just as South Africa has helped the likes of MTN. The Chinese have big investments all over Africa now, including in South Africa because their government is backing them.

If we chase away MTN, they will lose and we will lose too. Tit for tat will drown the weaker party always!

yazga:
My friend is in Thailand on Vacation with his partner.

He is a young, successful person.... He called last night complaining endlessly how Thai officials kept dragging them up and down over NDLEA certificate.

Who has experienced such in Thailand recently?

We don't want to own this truth that many nations around the world have become hostile to any green passport!

Nigeria and South Africa alike don't seem to want to get to the root of the problem in South Africa? People are playing to the gallery right now.

The same way we shy from addressing the roots of our internal problems (BH, herdsmen, rustlers, miners, kidnappers, yahoo, ethic agitations etc).

I think if our countries STOP being extremely selfish and CORRUPT and face the issue of educating and empowering the vast majority of the youths, and indeed everyone, we would have solved the problems by more than half! But our terrible appetite for corruption, get-rich-quick and I-better-pass-my neighbour tendencies would not let us. We claim we have democracy but you cant even come near your rep in your area, soon after election is over!

When leaders think they do not owe the people any explanations for anything, they end up creating lack of trust, and end up with a total dis-connect to reality.

Let me shock you - Thais will treat their own nationals who have lived in Nigeria almost the same way they treated your friend. Same with Europeans and others. They think there is something here that corrupts anyone that comes in contact with it!

We have to learn from that old saying - Charity begins at home. If we have lack of love for our fellow citizens, dont expect neighbours to love you!

Thank you.

Again, I wonder why our government has failed to condemn the heinous crimes going on in the name of reprisal attacks.

Loads of Nigerians have lost assets. While our FG is asking SA to compensate victims, who is going to compensate the owners of the shops looted in Lagos and those who have are daily losing businesses because they cant open shops!

Why are the leaders so slow in making moves?

They always wait for individuals and for opposition to speak before they make any statement.

Obviously being built for some people other than nomads!

stagger:
Mr Man,

An American will not talk this garbage you are talking here. If an American citizen is found to hold stakes in companies that originated from countries against American foreign interests, do you think such an American will be spared?

Who are these Nigerians owning stakes in these companies? Could they not start their own Nigerian brands and models of these businesses? Who are these saboteurs who prefer to collect blood money from South Africans in the name of franchising and yet have their own being slaughtered like chickens?

Nigerians are angry and their anger is starting to have outlets. First it was Ekweremadu, and now this. We are all here and watching.

Shoprite is ONE tenant out of more than 60 tenants (or shopowners) in that building.

Shoprite is the only South African business in that entire building.

The building they attacked in Surulere is called AOS Mall (Adeniran Ogunsanya Mall) and it is owned by a Nigerian company 100%.

All the shops looted have nothing to do with Shoprite and with South Africa.

So, Nigerians are losing out in both places.

And we are quick to boast that we are very smart!

Onyeedum:
I saw it coming.
They have tried several ways to stop Africa and now this is the only way to stop Africa, to make them fight each other, Africans are coming for everything and they are scared, Africans coming number one in everything, the blindfold dn comot and now we can see, now the only way to distract Africans, is to create Wars, but Africa is the dream land, we will conquer and Africa will be a better place...

So, how on earth can a white man make two black brothers to fight each other? Are you suggesting that we are that super-dumb? If a stranger comes into your house and make the siblings to fight each other then you assume that the stranger is smart!

This is the real xenophobic attack against Nigerians.

The senators have declared a war against the commonwealth of the people.

1.2 million to buy newspapers in a month? Are they gold plated?

In a country where 98% of the people do not have up to N500,000 in their bank accounts!

This terribly sad.

So, now that they are on 2-month recess, each person will still earn 54million naira. How many Nigerian companies make that as profit in a year? Perhaps less than 1,000.

Commonwealth Parliamentarians!

Meeting in Tanzania.

At the same time British Parliamentarians are gathering to vote on BREXIT.

African rulers and joblessness.

Nigeria shall rise again!
