Politics / Re: Abuja's Poor Lighting: What Buhari, Bello, FCTA Must Know by engrkaz(m): 7:12am On Aug 03, 2021
Collect one Heineken and one plate of goat meat pepper soup.. Bill on me.

About the tax regime in Nigeria, I work, my wife works and we have a small business. Our combined taxes in a year is above 700k (not exaggerating).

Our kids attend private schools, we get water from privately drilled borehole, we rely on generators and inverters for power need, we have a gateman and also make security arrangement with our neighbors.

In essence, we are our own schools management board, water board, power holding, housing too is self help.

The small tax we pay we can’t find any justification for it, thanks to the Looter Kings in power.

Above all, ur points are valid
Beancounter94:


More like FCT does not have enough money, and there is looting too.

FCT used to raise money from parking meters to supplement its income some 8 years ago, until someone got a court order to stop it.

Also, we don't pay something called a council tax. Many cities in the UK...residents pay something called a council tax which can be as high as 85,000 to 100000 naira. (I know, Nigeria cannot be compared to the UK eh, we are poor)...but that money goes into providing essential services such as street light, transport, etc.

The oyel money that we all rely on is not enough for all of us. Which is why you that is shouting Hausas and Fulani...is your state capital well lit all over? The reason is simple...there isn't enough money to do the job.(apart from Lagos maybe, and even Lag is not well lit all over). Because your tax to gdp ratio is too low and because the oil price has not been high enough to sustain us for nearly 9 years, if not longer.

States and the FCT need to be innovative in raising money not just for streetlights , but for public services, especially in the cities. And Nigerians too need to put pressure on their leaders to make sure the money is used well to ensure that their cities are run well.(The court case I referred to earlier may have stopped corruption in the parking meter system, but then it also threw out the baby with the bathwater)

(This is not a supporting Buhari message...personally, I think the minister of FCT should be more of a professional than a polticial somebodi. APC continued with the same old same old.Ironically, the last really good FCT minister we had was El-Rufai.)

Islam for Muslims / Re: Boy Won ₦1.6m, Land And Hajj For Reciting The Qur'an (video) by engrkaz(m): 11:46am On Apr 30, 2021
Most southern Muslims do not have extreme views.

The 10 year old is from Ikorodu in Lagos.. (not from Borno)

The sheik himself is an igboro man (a very good ally of MC oluomo, IB dende, and other notable socialites in Lagos). He’s not in anyway Pantamic. The young Mustapha Adams will not grow to be like the northern miscreants you have mentioned.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: ESL: All Six Premier League Teams Withdraw From Competition by engrkaz(m): 5:44am On Apr 21, 2021
19 million is earned as a topup to what they had earned along the line. The UCL winner takes home about 80 million which is still less than a quarter of what the ESL offers.
flemsy15:
I knew d super league will collapse but dis will force UEFA into making serious changes in UCL , like the number of participating clubs should be increased to accommodate some big clubs that miss out on top four,
Number of matches Played should be increased by changing from group method to league method.
Thirdly, the amount given to teams should be increased too, imagine just giving 19M Euro to the champions of UCL, money that can't even buy a descent player, these clubs spend a lot and UCL makes enough money which should be distributed justly to the clubs that brought in the money

I won the second runner up prize in the cowbell/peloga maths competition.
I achieved that even as the school didn’t have a maths teacher.
All round, I was a pretty good boy until I got caught up in a romantic relationship with a classmate.

They obviously don’t know what they are doing.

I have never done NIMC registration.

My NIN is 100% BVN generated...

I am able to access the mobile id app.

Even the passport photograph on the digital id is from my bvn records.

They have no idea what they r doing.

Epe Grammar School... Over 15 years ago...

Not sexual abuse though, but psychological and physical abuse. I was like a broom stick just within one term. It was like a prison yard, seniors were physically abusive and the housemaster would ignore their atrocities. Mosquitoes would feast on us in the so-called reading room. The food was nasty. My money was stolen overnight...

Thank God I was quickly withdrawn and taken to a regular day school.
