Foreign AffairsRe: Donald Trump To Terminate Birthright Citizenship by drnoel: 2:32pm On Oct 30, 2018
Mynd44:
Someone should please tell him he can't change the constitution with an executive order. He needs congress
Bros but that's actually the point.
I believe if he doesn't know, his handlers must have told him. He may be an idiot but many of his handlers are quite bright.

1) So first point of action I think he will do is to set the ball rolling by executive order.
2) All hell breaks loose and many go to court.
3) Courts can't decide so they throw it back to legislative
4) Gbam, 14 th amendment becomes shaky. Cos repubs have majority, it's changed.
5) Executive order becomes an act of legislature and law.

NB: It will take them minimum 18 months to accomplish. It's probably what they have wanted all along cos am sure they know they won't be voted back.

mind you I've tested harddon 's drill and to God who made me she said I'm strange like jeez where are you from?

but I let her go.

I tried it on another girl and she proclaimed love and I won and left her.

I'm currently using the drills on another lady and she is laughing nonstop. and said she can't wait to kiss me.

note: I've tried different drills tricks and tips but I rate harddon 88/100 now that's hot.
I rate the game by Neil Strauss 40/100.
why cos I've tried the tips and tricks and had less results.
because those tricks don't go well with naija Ladies.

if you don't believe me go and download read and practice test both drills and tricks and see.

back to the clown I quoted..don't reply him anymore his 15mins of fame is over.

PoliticsRe: Senate Passes Electoral Act Amendment Bill For Third Reading by drnoel: 3:51pm On Oct 23, 2018
TheTrueSeeker2:
The Senate has passed the Electoral Act Amendment Bill for third reading.

The passage followed the adoption of the report by the joint Senate and House of Representatives committee on the bill, which was presented the Chairman, Senate Committee on Independent National Electoral Commission, Senator Suleiman Nazif.



President Muhammadu, Buhari had withdrawn assent to the bill three times, raising various constitutional and drafting issues.

The committee had addressed the issues raised by the President in a harmonised, fourth version of the bill.

President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, who said passage of the bill was “almost impossible,” expressed hope that the President would assent to the bill when transmitted by the National Assembly.

The House of Representatives has also scheduled third reading of the bill for today.

Details later…

PoliticsRe: Executive Order No. 008 Of 2018 by drnoel: 3:47pm On Oct 22, 2018
presidency:
On the Voluntary Offshore Assets Regularization Scheme (“VOARS”)

Whereas the Constitution imposes a duty on every citizen to declare his/her income and assets fully and honestly to appropriate and lawful agencies and pay taxes promptly;

Whereas every taxable person is under obligation to voluntarily declare his/her income and assets from all sources including outside Nigeria, file annual tax returns and pay the tax due to the tax authority;

Aware that it is desirable to inculcate in all Nigerian citizens the ethics of responsibility to the nation, accountability, and honesty;

Aware that there are significant offshore assets of Nigeria origin that have not been declared to the relevant authorities, and that are also not tax compliant;

Aware that the Government(s) owe citizens the duty of ensuring security, welfare and development; and

Consequent upon the determination to provide an opportunity for taxpayers who are in default under all relevant Statutes to voluntarily declare their offshore assets and income and pay taxes due on them and in return obtain some benefits.

Now Therefore, Pursuant to the Authority Vested in me by the Constitution as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I Hereby Order as Follows:

1. The Office of Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice shall set up a Voluntary Offshore Assets Regularization Scheme in Switzerland (hereinafter referred to as “the Scheme”) for all categories of taxpayers who have defaulted in declaration of their offshore assets, payment of taxes due and collectible subject to the fulfillment of the terms and conditions as may be stipulated in this Order and other subsequent complementary regulations.

2. The Scheme shall provide a twelve (12) month period commencing from ……………day of……………… 2018 for taxpayers who are in default to declare their offshore assets and income from sources outside Nigeria relating to the preceding thirty (30) years of assessment.

3. The Scheme shall encourage and provide an opportunity for eligible taxpayers to:

a. regularize their offshore assets held anywhere in the world;
voluntarily elect to regularize their tax status for all the relevant years by paying to FGN a one-time levy of 35% of their offshore assets in lieu of all outstanding taxes, penalties and interest;

b. voluntarily elect to access the facility in Switzerland by paying the 2% facility access fees and submitting to compliance procedures required by Swiss authorities in order to obtain an Eligibility certificate to declare offshore assets through the Scheme;

c. establishes a Swiss nexus for their offshore assets held anywhere else in the world or its management in Switzerland or through its financial system and institutions in order to use the Scheme;

d. avoid and stop tax evasion; and

e. ensure full tax compliance on their residual offshore assets after accessing the Scheme by paying taxes to FGN on income earned thereon.

Eligibility to Participate

4. The Scheme is open to and targeted to all persons, entities and their intermediaries who are holding offshore assets and are in default of their tax liabilities in any way whatsoever, including those who:

a. are not already under investigation by law enforcement agencies in Nigeria or any other country and have not been charged with any crimes including theft of public funds or obtaining offshore assets through corrupt practices;

b. own offshore assets but are yet to declare them with the relevant authorities; such offshore assets by definition include:
liquid assets (bank balances), stocks and bonds held in portfolios, insurance policies, shares in listed or unlisted offshore companies, property assets and all manners of assets held directly or indirectly through corporate entities, trust structures and non-Nigerian resident companies and intermediaries;

c. earn income on offshore assets but are yet to declare such income to relevant tax authorities;

d. are registered taxpayers who have additional disclosures to make or need to amend prior disclosures; and/or are registered but have not been filing returns;

e. have not been fully declaring their taxable income and offshore assets;

f. have been underpaying or under remitting;

g. are under a process of tax audit or investigation with the relevant Tax Authority and/or engaged in a tax dispute with the relevant Tax Authority but are prepared to settle the tax dispute out of court;

d. the disclosure must be made in accordance with compliance procedures required by Swiss authorities through the processes established by the Voluntary Offshore Assets Regularization Facility in Switzerland (VOARFS) or in any other form or manner as may be prescribed by Regulations governing the Scheme; and

e. consent that a one-time levy of 35% of offshore assets will be paid to FGN in the manner prescribed by regulations governing the Scheme; and

f. consent that the assessments of future taxes payable will be carried out by the relevant Tax Authority on income earned on residual offshore assets.

Reliefs/Benefits

My sincere thoughts. I don't know what part of Nigeria your bf is from but if he was asking if you were cut, in hopes that you were, then sorry to tell you, he is from the most uncivilized parts of Nigeria. If you walk the streets of Nigeria and stop 100 men, asking them about female circumcision, chances are, only less than 10% will support such nonsense.

About the food, Nigerians generally assume that if they are under your roof and you are cooking, they are included but the enlightened ones know that a drink can do. I personally don't feel compelled to offer my guest food, I can give u a drink,some snacks. if you are not satisfied, go home and make yourself some.

About the barging in thing, I can't help but ask how old these folks are. Common sense is suppose to guide a grown up.

Conclusion, the cultural differences is huge, maybe you might want to really think about the future of this relationship of urs simply because I don't know why he is sending u to the airport to pick his friend up. Typical for Nigerians that date foreign women in the bid to use them to their own selfish gains.

His friend could have boarded a taxi to the apartment. I am just thinking, a man in Nigeria will not send his wife to pick up someone from the airport except his immediate family members.

I don't want u dating a jerk thinking that's how Nigerians are cos we are better than that.
Now this comment I support.
I also support the part of not sending a wife to pick a friend unless family members. I just want to add this, a Nigerian man may send his gf to pick a friend only and only if that friend is a very close one.
Would also explain why the friend felt free to come ask u the rubbish he did in the kitchen.
Could mean the men are that close.

Let me reply each paragraph as I read...

Firstly, your food is my food. In as much as we are relatives, I can dash in anytime and enter your kitchen to eat and most conducive if I see the wife cooking... That has been the status quo in Nigeria but in recent times and with the intervention of dramatic housewives, things are now evolving like informing me if you are having guests and all... You just have to let him understand that.

Thank God you are cooking simply means please I hope mine is inclusive and if not, kindly add my slot ... We like food... It's a curse and we are happy to live by it.

In Nigeria, you just kukuma lock the doors... You don't know what might go wrong at any time...

The thing about female genital mutation is that Nigerians believe any lady that skipped it wont stay faithful to one d!ck. *winks

At the end of it all, just try make him understand... Set some rules... And make him abide by them

TravelRe: Is Life Abroad Worth The Stress And Hype? Memoirs Of A Naturalized Immigrant. by drnoel:
Ugosample:
Well you are right, not always true

Of course they are racists from everywhere, but the opportunities to succeed abound in the west

How come Indians, Iranians, Arabs and people from elsewhere come to the west with nothing, and in 40 years, they are running successful businesses IN the west that rivals the one already established.
Mo Ibrahim, Sadi Khan, Patrick Bet David, the owners of E bay, Alexander Amosu, Bhatia, etc came from elsewhere and they are doing JUST fine


And that is so because of the opportunities that exists.

I think we as Africans need to learn from the Asian sub ethnic group, to know how they did it etc.
That COULD help us be very productive every where you find yourself (even in Nigeria)



Lastly as I have noticed in Nigeria and in some other African countries, coming from the "wrong" part of Nigeria or that country is even much worse than suffering racism, becauae it's your country men discriminating and making life difficult for you.

I am from the wrong part of Nigeria "Igbo" and despite all the success my family and indeed many other Igbo families have achieved both at the East and nationwide, you are still seem as a "Igbo man"

Many people from other ethnic groups (especially some Yoruba) hate you for no good reason, and hopes some thing terrible happens to you and your business so that you will be in the ground.

Many Nigerians will not vote an Igbo man to office because he is just Igbo, not because he is unqualified.

Some back then in Lagos even dream that one day Igbos will be Chased out of Lagos and the businesses and properties will be redistributed to the "omoluabis" (I heard this ridiculous statement first hand)

So after being treated like that, you really think it's "racial discrimination" that would deter him in the West?
The asains and Indians u mentioned are the success stories.
If u lived in England u will see millions of those racial descent who are living the life but not that successful.

It's simple, the first generation immigrants work their ass out so their children can succeed, but that drive in the parents doesn't always match those in the children.
The Indians and Asians u mentioned are over millions in the UK. I saw a study that said Indians make up more than 3 percent of population but only a few become very successful and even less pass this success over to their children. And if they did, their children just ride the wave like Trump did with his dad's money.

GreatDIM:
Well said Ugosample.....

travelland I get your fears, but let me tell you something, when you're a valuable addition to any economy, you won't be denied opportunities cos you are too valuable to be ignored.

I stated previously about a friend who's a network engineer here that got a job in Amsterdam, the head of their IT department was surprised that a 23 year old, Nigerian for that matter would be well versed in Networking. For those who know about network engineering, he has two CCNP certificates (R&S, Collaboration) and is going for his CCIE exam later this year. He had to do a video interview twice because his portfolio seemed just too good to be true.

You should also be aware that Goldman sachs completed it's recruitment in Nigeria in about March and the succesful candidates, two amongst which I know personally, are to be given work permit to work in UK. So it's obvious that there's a demand for HIGHLY skilled labour, once you have valuable skills regardless of your skin colour, there is demand for your services in developed countries.
Well said, but u don't understand that the racism part always rears its head regardless of how experienced the person is.
This I say from experience.

When you're (sowumi) are supporting the truth, no one can defeat you!

Kenyamo tried, it isn't easy to support lies darkness and bigotry... You'd easily get turned down.

Why lie Mohamed was not brought in. He would have defeated APC on his own which will probably leave a lasting effect till election day.
Only way APC is gonna win is if they rig without being caught cos if they are caught rigging. The masses will take to the street
