BetaThings:
But you guys have been studying the Qur'an since the issue of Hijab started
Did we not warn, to no avail, that you should non-muslims should not be interpreting the Qur'an

Your are not Okay. Read an ordinary book?

pssnlimited4all:
What have they done with the billions of tax they collect monthly. I pity those that are rushing to support these clueless and greedy politician. Just be careful what you support.

Thank u. People supporting the govt are just naive.

deebrownneymar:
Why didn't you say they are taxing God since they claim the money goes to God.

Can you provide a source to backup the bold part?

back2sender:
See comment *you can't force the poor to have faith *
This are the fraudsters who call themselves Christians.
Poor man naa sin for your christianity but if the rich man made his MONEY from looting, jibiti, rituals etc he will be given a front seat in church and seen as a man of faith.
Awon ole jati jati in churches

You contradicting yourself. Who says rich man get healed easily ?
Get out mr man.

MrMcJay:
Yeah.
They would tax them and there's nothing you're going to do about it.

When? I have been hearing that tax talk for years.

teefaht:
This is like asking someone: where do you get the money to build ur house?

So what's ur answer ?

back2sender:
You are disgrace and a thief. See how you are defending suitcases pastor's.

Christianity is a fraud especially as practiced in Nigeria.
Let them go and heal the beggars in ebute metta and idumota then I will know they are serious in doing God's work.

You can't force the poor to have faith. Get it into your head.

smulti:
they are actually making money from your head .

how exactly ?

MrMcJay:
Lol
I said your tears have just started. You'll still cry blood.

The Government would tax churches, they would take the Lagosh State Government to court, the Lagos State Government would win up to the Supreme Court and then collate all unpaid taxes and hammer them.

The tax is not even much but they don't want to pay anything.

Stop getting emotional and start reasoning.
Let the govt tax them and let's see.

teefaht:
Mosques are not being used for business purposes. Imams are not being paid nor generating any revenues. Where would they get the money from? The government should look into this.
They should rather tax the Muslim associations like NASFAT, ANSARUDEEN, MSSN etc

where do they get money to build mosque from?

guywitzerogal:
I no gree since church are making money let them too pay tax....so watch out ur tithe wouldn't be 10% again let say 15%

How exactly is the church making money ? Please give a direct answer.

MrMcJay:
When you won't read the post before typing nonsense. The tax is not on the church income as that is exempt from taxation by the Companies and Allied Matters Act.

However, the tax would be based on the properties occupied by those churches. Na RCCG go suffer am pass. You claim not to make profit but you're buying multi billion naira properties. Meanwhile, your members are in IKEJA General hospital unable to pay hospital bills and waiting for divine intervention.

All brawn.
The properties are bought with seed entrusted in the hands of the church leaders. It is up to the contributors to make that decision and not poke-nose govt and posters like you.

adetayo234:
Don't tell me you don't know that your pastor is making a lot of profit from your head.

Same way your wife and children will be making profit on your head. It is called voluntary giving if the pastor steals it I leave him to God that's no business of the govt. If govt must tax pastors then they should tax every form of group contribution, yahoo boys, theives etc

Felixalex:
There is nothing wrong with protesting actually, but now that they have taken control of the government, how far?? If people organize a protest now they will either rent their own crowd of hungry illitrates and give them 1k each to counter the cries of genuine protesters....

Or worst still, fire tear gas at innocent peaceful protesters...

This woman Lauretta is actually a perfect pictorial representation of this present government... UGLY, and FOOLISH

Snakes they are.

FOLYKAZE:
Where does all the sales proceed of religious item go to? Government?

What of the special prayers fee?

Where does the salaries of the Pastors come from?

What about the offering and tithing plus unverified donations?

Where does the proceed go? You tell me. You are only speculating further.




Have you heard of scholarship they give out? Maybe you want the church to annouce it in radio so that unbelievers can overrun the real seed sowers. You guys just assume thing and get emotional over the strides the churches are making.

FOLYKAZE:
The Church and Mosque is a business avenue which must be taxed. In UK, churches and religion centres are been taxed. This is because most full term pastors and bishops are been paid salary. These pastors or whatever they tag themselves should pay income tax just like every person. And the church which makes money from the congregation should also pay tax just like every other business or institution

You are speculating. How does the church make profit? You will probably speculate further in answering that question.

FOLYKAZE:
Is Buhari not paying tax too? He earns salary after tax has been deducted.

And where is the evidence that Yusuf medical bill is offset from tax money? You guys just real out garbage from your anu just to prove a point.

Where is the proof that Oyedepo and Adeboye buy jets with profit or make profit. You talk trash as if Oyedepo isn't on a salary. Keep getting emotional over simple contribution. What you are after is contribution of believers towards their beliefs. Govt can't do nada because everything inside the church is contribution and voluntary.

The are two types of growth. Growth in the middle of flunctuating fortune (the up and down movement) and there is steady growth.

Where is that guy that post Aregbe pictures and insult anyone with contrasting view by calling them ipob.

The church and mosques(if taxable) will soon retject this injustice. Buhari son will soon be flown abroad with tax payers money while those who pay the tax can't afford such.
If it were to be a church member who can't afford a church school we criticize the pastors but here govt officials are taxing us against our will and enjoying what we can't enjoy. Any attempt to tax the church is an attempt to tax the people twice.

Oponu ipob loser littering cyberspace with worthless akpu junk..


Una go type essay taya...

Osun workers are on strike. We need the pictures.

Shameful indeed.

The Media and Publicity Department of the State House have run a documentary on major national television stations titled “The Human Side of President Buhari”. The documentary which is meant to showcase the ‘human’ side of Buhari has eventually turned out to be nothing but a loud testimony to what a majority of Nigerians already knows about the General who has an infamous reputation for political vendetta, vindictiveness, wickedness, circumvention of the constitution and such other flagrant displays of despotism. The fact that Buhari and his handlers found it imperative to produce the documentary showing the human side of the president is an admission that Buhari has always been living out his inhuman side which has since become his identity.


The thought of packaging such a documentary alone and airing it at a time Nigerians are suffering, wasting irrecoverable man hour queuing up and searching for fuel till no end and undergoing enormous stress as a result of the well documented failures of the same Buhari as president and minister of petroleum is the height of wickedness and insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians.

Apart from being inconsiderate of the unfortunate situations Nigerians have been made to pass through since he became president, the documentary is a great injustice to the president by those who thought they are doing him favours by embarking on it.

With the thick darkness that has pervaded the land, no thanks to unabated power cuts and lack of fuel to power generators, only very few and insignificant percentage of Nigerians had the misfortune of enduring what eventually was a drab, uninspiring and amateurish documentary conceived in vile, produced in vindictiveness, packaged in impudence and delivered in sophistry and deceit.

Ordinarily, and going by its title, one would have thought that such a documentary would relate with Nigerians and how the president has been treating them and issues concerning them with milk of human kindness and democratic principles, but it turned out to be an exercise in further exposing the president’s heartlessness and his weak work ethics.

Pray, how could such a documentary that is supposed to be of national importance be emphasizing on how the president loves jokes and cartoons over other important issues in newspapers! Vice President Yemi Osinbajo stressed on it, John Odigie-Oyegun emphasized on it; Femi Adesina did the same; Garba Shehu followed suit while Abike Dabiri was not left out as if that has any importance to suffering Nigerians.

It is even more insolent that apart from the current biting fuel scarcity, the documentary is being aired at a point Nigerians were greeted with the news that a whopping 7.9 million of them have lost their jobs in just 21 months, from January 2016 to September 2017, under Buhari.

At an average of four persons per family, it simply means that over 31 million people have become seriously disconcerted, discomfited and disconnected from being able to afford the basic needs of life for themselves and their other dependants. Rather than empathise with Nigerians on these multiple tragedies which the Buhari administration has visited on Nigerians, what pre-occupies the minds of presidency officials is to further rub salt on the fatal injuries the citizens have suffered by airing what at best is a banal documentary.

The documentary that attempts to further portray Buhari as a man of integrity and a president who respects the constitution and constitutional processes falls flat on its face. It is obvious that the motivation for that needless work is to attempt to deceive Nigerians.

How can one ever say Buhari respects our constitution when he is infamous for flagrantly disobeying court orders and impudently defying the judiciary?

Sheikh El Zakzaky, leader of the Shiite Muslims in Nigeria, has been incarcerated for two years now despite several court orders that he should be released. It is the same with Col Sambo Dasuki, rtd.

It is only a wicked leader that would look on while killers from his immediate constituency embark on a relentless killing spree nationwide under the tag of Fulani terrorist herdsmen while he does nothing to apprehend them but rather equally watches on as they were compensated for a “job well done”.

It is also under Buhari’s watch as Commander-in-Chief that the military invaded Zaria, burnt down houses, murdered helpless men and mowed down their harmless women and hapless children in their hundreds in cold blood. Yet, nobody is answering for it up till tomorrow. It was the same reaction from Buhari when the military committed so many atrocities in the southeast recently under the guise of Operation Python Dance ll.

Contrary to what the documentary portrays, Buhari lacks any modicum of integrity. A man who shields his friends from prosecution even after being indicted by a panel but goes about chasing after members of the opposition even if it means fabricating crimes against them as was the case preferred against Elder Godsday Orubebe but had to be withdrawn by the Buhari-led federal government after writing the courts that the missing funds for which Orubebe was being prosecuted was still at the ministry intact, completely untouched.

This withdrawal of the case came long after Orubebe had been subjected to relentless media trial and conviction, assassinating his character and brutally maligning his person in the process. No apologies, no remorse, no regrets, nothing! After all, Orubebe is not from Buhari’s immediate constituency. As far as Buhari and his handlers are concerned, he can go to blazes even after such damage of monumental proportions have been done to him.

But Babachir Lawal who has been severally indicted by the Senate and found severely culpable by a presidential panel for his mindless stealing from the poorest of our poor, the IDPs, has been left by Mr. Integrity to walk free. Mr. Integrity indeed! All this wickedness by the president and his team must have motivated the Media and Publicity Department of the State House to embark on such a puerile documentary with so much audacity. As it is with the president, so it is with his handlers!

Just like a political commentator, Mr. Atsenokhai Aloy, observed: “The Presidential media team produced a documentary and tagged it the human side of Buhari. The question I want to ask the team is this: what side of Buhari have we been seeing?”

What an important observation and question!

The answer to Atsenokhai’s question is simple: we have been seeing the inhuman side of Buhari, and the presidency knows it. If not, there would have been no need to show us his “human” side in a documentary. They know he is a tyrant, so they are working assiduously albeit vainly to launder his image.
Character speaks louder than documentary. Rather than waste public funds on such mundane works like the documentary to applaud Buhari’s glaring incompetence, lionize his mediocrity, magnify his ineptitude, beatify his wickedness and canonize his tyranny, his handlers should work on his words and character that have sharply divided Nigerians and entrenched despondency among them.

Nothing has been done to control the damage caused by his infamous “97% vs 5%” statement; nothing has been done to correct his glaringly divisive appointments, policies and actions that have always favoured a certain section and religion in this country over others.

These are the kind of things that the presidency should be working on correcting and not a documentary that is nothing but a sycophantic production of desperate aides!

Stop crying on my shoulder, go find something to proud of, to talk about and praise about your village instead of doing sidon look until other people post something about their states for you to show up and start boring us with your pain and sorrow..


There's got to be more to you people than hatred, bitterness and anger at other people's progress.

How do you even progress as a people sef after spending all your time, days and nites crying and mopping about other people's progress and advancements. grin grin



Nna, sucks to be you villagers.. -

I take this to mean you have run out of excuses. Happy new year in advance.

Yyeske:
Can anyone please explain this part to me

I am suspecting it to mean the arrears of this year will be added as liabilities into the 2018 budget. Thus it carried a positive value in the budget but it was carrying a negative sign because it handles 2017 expenses/arrears.

Budget of governor who can't pay salaries any longer. I hope he budgetted half salaries for the workers . . .
