Mega Scandal: Edo PDP Chairman Caught Pants Down With A LovePeddler

Ezedon:
.I will always support and vote for fresh air

Gbawe2:
It helps that the General is a disciplined and austere man who keeps himself trim and fit unlike majority of our gluttonous and 'greedy Pig' politicians who have fat stomachs that enter a room 5 minutes before the rest of their body is visible.

Obiagelli:
Aunty desola, thanks ma'am

Chidiokereke:
Despite his seemingly austere disposition, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, donated N1 million to the delegates of the party from Imo State to vote him during its December 10 national convention.
Mr. Buhari, a former head of state, met with the delegates at the Regent Hotels, Owerri, during which he lobbied them to vote for him.
He also visited the Imo State House of Assembly to lobby the APC members of the legislature who are statutory delegates to the convention.
The presidential hopeful was accompanied by the Director General of his Campaign Organisation, Audu Ogbeh; a former President of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Rotimi Akeredolu; and a former member of the House of Representatives, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba.


Hehehe! So the most incorrupt Nigerian gave bribes to delegates in Imo state yesterday. Wow. I'm so shocked.

We have a problem of institutionalised corruption in the system, and now Jonathan has institutionalised impunity amongst our security agencies. This is really terrible and portend grave danger for our budding democracy !! Since when did it become the duty of the police chief to interpret the constitution

The damage Jonathan's style of politics/leadership has injected into our national life would take years to undo!!

I weep for my country.

shizzleStar:
senseless rantings from a demented bonehead. You must be dimwit of high magnitude to assume that your shanties and slums in yolobaland are as developed as our 'enclaves'. You must be so daft to think that travelling, learning and adventure equates backwardness of ones region.

Fvcktard talkng about destitutes when yolobas hold the ace in 'forceful begging'..lol bunch of lazy nincompoops who extort money from hard working nigerians. Now i ask you again you bastard, is the sellers of ewa agoyin, oni paraga, oni agege bread, alabaru at mile2, orile, ajangbadi that pays the IGR? or is it the motor park touts in oshodi and mushin that keeps fighting and killing themselves for money they extorted from commuter buses that pay the huge IGR? or is it the agbero omonile and touts that fleeces people at construction sites that account for the lagos IGR? answer me you FOOL.

Aba and onitsha are are business hubs. Funny enough the aba you iddiots denigrate is the china of Nigeria that ensure that your poverty-stricken yoloba women and children are able to afford cheap wears and shoes..you should actually be grateful to igbos.

Senseless yoloba bastad.

No bro, I'm actually an Engineer, a professional mariner with wide and broad sense of various aspects of human endevours. I engage and remit tax returns of my employees to the state government hence I know how tax and remittances work.

pendy79:
Idiotic sons of a nobody like you assumes your forefathers are the milk on which lagosians were breastfed. If poverty, hunger and hopelessness has no permanent residency in your enclaves what will make your daft senses leave your homes and village to go seek greener pastures elsewhere?

A mofo like you forgot that the highest number of destitutes selling secondhand clothing whichyour and your entire lineage picks your christmas cloths from and those who run the streets of lagos selling la casera and gala and your sisters fighting for leg space at opebi roundabout and allen junction are a drain on our resources.

Fashola gave your folks free bus ride to onitsha headbrigde yet you all cried your heads off up to the united nations. Why not go back to your hellholes and turn it into eldorado or is there no market in Aba or Onitsha ? Is it a force to die like urchins and destitute in another mans land

kmariko:
Increase in IGR is not merely a function of tax collection but in a way shows how functional and effective governance is within that domain. In order to effect such collection one must put in place effective, supportive policy manned by well experienced professionals.

So gentlemen and ladies it is simply not just about tax collection

collynzo99:
The hypocrite Old mod Ngawke wont see this now. He will be quick to delete post and Ban people when we descend on his brothers from the erosion ravaged region.

Ttalk:
Yeah, that is exactly why we need to take them on, many of them have been feasting on any topic that has to do with Lagos, SW, Fashola, Tinubu and APC as if the existence of these names will result in their extinct, instead of them to learn to tell their playboy Governors the bitter truth. Honestly, the transformation of Lagos IGR if replicated in 20 states will turn around Nigeria economy and bring about a transformation that will liberate us from this economic and political logjam that is gradually consuming the entire nation

Gbawe:
Quite difficult to do. I would suggest you don't let it get to you and perhaps even turn it around on the clowns now and then when you have the time. We all know what has driven the bitter and negative contribution of some posters here. This is why I always tease the bigots here when I have the time or inclination. I realise that these prejudiced hack get even more upset as their negative lies and obvious bad belle are discredited.

Gone are the days when I used to take the jokers seriously. Constructive criticism is okay but such should make sense and be directly pertinent. This development is laudable as it means Lagos is on course to becoming virtually independent and self-financing. This would be a dream fiscal scenario for any Nigerian State because federal allocation can effectively be utilised for capital projects since the State can finance itself.

Bekwarra:
You igbHOES are just too shameless. You reek of absurdity and senseless arrogance in anything you do or say. You are here claiming that igbHOES contribute the largest percentage of the IGR of Lagos state yet your impoverished erosion-ridden enclave wallow in abject poverty. Is that not a self-indictment? Thank God for Ipinle Eko, igbHOES would have been no different from the impoverished people of Somalia. Awon omo ale olori pelebe oshi.

@Desola you dont want to comment abi?

customized13:
bros, stop spewing trash, you are probably ignorant about the fact that ladipo market and alaba international market aren't local government owned, traders in ladipo market and alaba intl market pay taxes to both local/state government of lagos. Mile12 foodstuff market is probably owned by kosofe LGA, you don't expect traders in LG owned markets to pay tax to state govt. Any trader in ladipo, alaba, computer village etc pays tax to the state government.

shizzleStar:
You are a doofus.

I do not expect your ewedu brain to acknowledge the fact that population explosion has an impact on IGR in a tax regime. You can revel in self-praise and over-hyping of your deceptive party... your fvcking business

Now tell me since you brother gbawe keeps shying away from the question, is it the dirty, haggard looking Yoruba woman with babies on their backs selling ewa-agoyin, okpa eyin(he local drink) or is it the touts and agberos at various bus stops in lagos or the omonile that fleece land owners that makes up the value of Lagos IGR?

You can keep on running round in circles like a headless chicken...not like i care

pendy79:
Walk into a bank and see how personal income tax is calculated. Tax from biz like that goes to customs and FIRS as it is the Importers who pays to bring in those parts. This tax goes to the federal government accounts not the states.
Ladipo traders may likely pay tax to the local government their shop tax and radio/tv license etc that they pay to the council. How of those in ladipo do a tax return? How many pay their staff through the banks that the state take PAYE from? Most things in the market goes to the local government account as their own IGR. The state only demand a lumpsum from their market leaders for land usage and environmental charges and not tax per se.

What tax does a tomato seller in mile 12 pays into the state as personal tax? What is the difference between the 2? Such market are not regulated and can't be assessed for taxation like a salary earner or a corporate entity.

That's the difference.

T8ksy:
WORD!

Unfortunately, these people don't even know the meaning of the word, "shame". Anyway sha, i try to cut them some slack seeing as, its apparent that in their neck of the wood{as opposed to all other cultures, the world over, "charity begins in another man's land". Its even comical that they go about bragging about developing the land of those whom they claim, HATES them.

[/quote][quote author=Gbawe post=28335650]Bro, you think I am a liar like you, Tomakint and other shameless Nigerians always using 'football age' that sees grown men of 35 pretending to be 16 on a football pitch and calling young European boys of 18 their "egbon" like the unkept old man Tomakint is doing here shamelessly?

As this is a politics forum, I will use an example of Dimeji Bankole (he is 44) to make a point since he is one of Nigeria's most prominent young Politicians haven been a former speaker HOR.

I urge the entire forum to now pray with me.

If Dimeji Bankole is my egbon (older brother) age-wise then may God continue to bless and accord me success as has been the case till now. Misfortune will then be your lot from now and henceforth if the above is true and the same misfortune should befall me if it is a lie and I am indeed as old as Dimeji Bankole let alone be considered an old man. I say a big Amen to this prayer and Nairalanders are welcomed to help me say amen to this prayer too to make it more potent.

When the misfortune and bad luck begin to come your way then you will know why

At least we have seen pictures of Tomakint to know 100% he is an ugly, poverty-stricken, shabbily-dressed and urchin-like 'arugbo'.

basilo101:
Wen FG quote financial statistics indicating a growth in d economy of d country, dey wil ask "how does dat reflect in d lyf of ordinary nigerians"? But wen FG does same 4 IGR of states dey start rejoicing without asking same question. I'm frm enugu state dat generates highest IGR in d SE but honestly Anambra is a comercial hub and has d highest standard of living. To hell wit IGR, i prefer more moni in d pockets of d masses.

Some Igbos can be very funny... Igbo built the world trade center, Igbos run the Chinese economy... Igbos built Lagos, Igbos this and that yet their home state is a mess...What manna of tribe

Curlieweed:
I find the Janjaweedian Apeeshit apologists to be unusually bereft of simple common sense ( I am not even talking about complicated things like Economics here). Are they pretending to be daft or do they think that the electorate is daft? Now, I would have thought that after the shellacking in Ekiti and narrow escape in Osun, our friends will have realized the futility of their tactics.

I am utterly gob smacked that anyone will think that taxing the populace more ruthlessly (while giving your party chief a huge cut of the said tax) is the ultimate measure of good governance. What happened to measures like school enrolment, performance in standardized tests, access to clean water and sewage facilities, affordable housing, primary health facilities amongst others? It's not how much you can steal from the impoverished masses as IGR that should count but what you actually achieve with the funds.

Put simply, the government doesn't create any money or wealth by taxing me more. It is therefore very interesting that Lagos and other Apeeshit states are also the most indebted in the country. Talk about the classic "tax and spend" socialists. It's even more ironic that states like Anambra under Peter "Nkume" Obi, despite having lower IGR were able to save more and even lend to some of our "high performing" Apeeshit "wunderkinds".

Ttalk:
Biko, calm down, why is Lagos IGR raising your blood pressure, its not an insult but using "FOOL and IDDIOT" in you comment really shows that something about Lagos IGR is biting you hard
