Dem just they cook up figures they serve us to whoop sentiment. Abi Isrealis are not also killed or what ? Abi they are animals, not humans,abi their lives dont matter also?

NONSENSE! Just imagine. This is the reason our society is finished. Moral decadence everywhere. What is wrong with giving a knock? As if he was stabbed.
This our low budget equal right abi freedom is the reason our children would be rotten, excluding mine. Two big #200 canes are in my wardrobe as I write this. You do anyhow, you just collect. Keep all your nonsense to yourselves, not in my house. My mum knocked me till my 2nd year in the Uni

CyrusVI:


I saw a news on the frontpage yesterday where some Masquerades from Nigerian-Uzbeskistan region killed two people

Thing is, our traditions shouldnt be put aside for anything

Live and let live abeg.

Dedicated to something or not, nothing go change.

Oga, don't waste your time tribalising. Those masquerades you read about yesterday are outlaws. Even the indigenes can no longer cope with their atrocities. They have been fighting to have them shutdown long before now.

Don't come and think they will defend rubbish because of tradition as you do in the SW.
I studied in that town from Sec to Uni and had a fight with them twice

nairalanda1:


(I know people will call agbado, but here goes).

Here are the cold fact behind the decision to tax more Nigerians...note the headline...more NIgerians

1. Tax revenues amount for 20% of government revenue, the rest is from oil. While this is better than say 1996, when it was 96% of revenue comming from oil, it is still too low.

2. Oil revenues are very low for a nation our size. We produce as much as Libya does, yet LIbya, even in the midst of war, can afford goodies because they are 9 million, while we are 200-250 million, if not more

What we are doing is like a man with an income of 500000 naira and 15 children trying to do the same thing as a man with the same income but just 2 children. Na debt go catch you in minutes.

3. As at 2019, government was getting tax from about 30% of the taxable population. 70% of the population does not pay taxes to the state and federal government at all. Also, if your income is below a certain threshold, you are exempt from taxes

4. Tax to gdp ratio is 10%. That is low for a nation our size. Add the fact that gdp is even very very low.

5. We need oil price to be above 130 per barrel before we can earn enough money for a balanced budget. Or to be fair, at least around 100 dollars per barrel. Since 2014, April, oil has been below 100 dollars per barrel, except for a brief period in 2021-22. Thus we no longer earn enough from oil, nor have we ever, except for the 1973-82, and 2008-14, earned enough from oil.
.
6. Our economy is so poorly diversified (and APC is to blame here), that we no longer earn the money we used to earn from agric and mining...plus it is going to take us years to get back to where we were before, and we ar eup against countries like the US, Brazil and Indonesia whose agric relies on large scale modern farming, which is why they can export tonnes of food.

Even thailand, we cannot compete with them re rice production, because we don't have the climate for it.

7. We over import, and lose a lot of forex, nuff said.

8. We also have a hefty debt. Debt eats 68% of our revenue, and as at May 2023, it was over 90%...that is why TInubu went mad and said subsidy is gone, because we were in deep soup then. Even then, he has brought subsidy back, so that debt service may even grow.

9. Most states in NIgeria have poor tax to gdp ratio....as low as 2% . As a result, all of them rely on Abuja allocations for survival. Only a few states can survive on their IGR, and even then, the IGR Is still smaller than it should be.

10. IMF, won't give us any loans, and yes, we are going to rely on IMF Loans for the foreseaable future....until we end up reforming our tax system, and collecting more tax. That is what Sri Lanka and Pakistan are going through.


We better wake up people, and our government should stop looting and stealing money too....and make sane economic decisions....but with that taken into account, our tax revenue is scanty, and it needs improving.

Modified

For all those succubi who would gather to mock and call me defender of evil...



BBC 2019 ARTICLE

Also, saying that we don't earn enough revenue in tax is not the same thing as saying that

1. APC should not be held to account...they blddy well should, and yes they are wrong.

2. Tinubu is right to spend money on plane and yacht....he was wrong

3. APC government is corruption free...they are not, and they need to be held to account at all times.

4. APC is wise and running our country well...they are not, and they need to stop keeping our country on oil

I pity those who sent you to school

The Lagos in Portugal or which Lagos ?

He must be Igbo. They want freedom, inclusiveness and free enterprise only outside their home.

Oga, shut up!!!
This is where he lives and pays his tax .

Ghanaians won't tell him to go to his country because they are sane. But here, creepy freaks of nature like you and your stagnant tribal kinsmen would have told told him to go and protest in his state, whereas you still tax and beg him for food . All because, he beats fairly you on every front

This is great.
Welcome to Earth. Also be informed that a bag of rice is now about 100k in Nigeria.

Welcome again

Land dispute never ends well.

oga, so you couldn't read a simple English passage, comprehension ooo.

Na you get the land they were fighting over? Where are you getting your fake reason for the dispute from?

Who is she competing with?

More houses and successes to her

hevlinotito:
"Edo no be Lagos" does not mean Bini has many bridges or skyscrapers like Lagos, it means Edo people cannot be cowered or subdued like Tinubu has done in Lagos and many parts of South West.

But today election will tell, if Tinubu can subdue Edo with his iliterare candidate, then he should be made president for life

you are right o
They even sent back their own
FRESH-LOOKING brothers and sisters and stopped them from voting, during elections in Lagos.

According to them, they look FRESH and must be OMOIBOs, because OMOIBOs are fresh.

The creepiest and weirdest tribalistic reason I have ever heard

DevilsEqual:


I like how most Yoruba persons have publicly lashed out PBAT,
Deji,Sowore, Adegboruwa,Gani Adams,Adebanjo, Afenifere, Falana.... The list long abeg


By far the most liberal group in Nigeria. The only group that has stood up against every Nigerian President(their sons or not) since 1999

Just Wow!!!


As for this one, He just wanna dey do like low-budget Fela(pun intended)...If we are being honest with ourselves, as at that May2029 that PBAT was sworn in, there was no way he wasnt gonna remove the subsidy that Buhari's budget never covered post June 2023. Na just rant be this one

You lied!!!! They have not been finding it easy themselves and that is the reason they are shouting!!!

Liberal my FOOT!

What was their reaction before, during and after the election?
How many of them spoke against the atrocities your people committed again fellow citizens in Lagos (nọn indigenes) during the election,which was against the constitution??
Una no get responsible elders. I saw WICKEDNESS in bare face . South African dey learn from your people.

They should keep shouting, after all na still your disastrous brother that brought in Buhari.
Na people are now the most hungry, begging all over Lagos, they are now liberal in packing the mess they brought and supported in the name of tribalism.

Tell them , your liberal heroes to as your oga to return what he grabbed, stole and ran with. Don't they know that he stole it

Yet we were adviced to chew charcoal.

eepeepook:
Was he part of Hezbollah too? I’m beginning to believe the explosions were devices reaching their end of life. The media is fond of sensationalizing otherwise ordinary events. Poor civilians labeled terrorists by the Jewish media. Tufia! Whoever controls information controls power at the end of the day.

as long as it reduces the pain of your losses

Unclewilly:
The NYT reports that #Iran's regime's ambassador to #Lebanon Mojtaba Amani, who is essentially an #IRGCterrorists affiliate, lost one eye and severely injured his other eye when a pager he was carrying exploded today. Stands in stark contrast to the downplaying of his injuries by Tehran earlier in the day. He is being medevaced back to Tehran.
