Frigga13:I am not a Tinubu supporter, but you are lying about this. How many Igbo traders are earning one million naira per month? Perhaps you require education on the distinction between sales and income. Many of you are illiterates. By the time we check your records, you are not making one million nairas...your sales could be four or ten million. Is your monthly income equal to this one million? Illiteracy is at its peak. Over 95% Nigerians don't earn 1 millionaire monthly. Stop this rubbish. It is a win for you too if your income is low. Go and get educated and understand this bill properly. Illiteracy is a disease. |
SIRTee15:The only thing left to do is to address the part I highlighted above. You mentioned me first, and I recommend that you go back to the original post on which you commented. The answer is there. It appears that you did not understand my post or did not read it thoroughly before making a comment. Goodluck! |
SIRTee15:You analyzed it smoothly, bro, as if the United States can survive by producing for itself...that is a nation that relies on others to produce for her. The United States has threatened Canada, Mexico, and China with sanctions if they do not stop drug trafficking. We saw how Trump quickly went to his Truth account to announce that the Mexican president had accepted his offer. Lol. And the woman immediately explained her position, which differs greatly from what Trump presented. So Trump wants the woman singlehandedly to go after drug traffickers, which the US and Mexican governments have been fighting for decades. Lol. Again, he is threatening BRICS. lol. The good news is that China is being slammed twice. Lol. Of course, another one will follow, and this will be the third. Let us see how the US survives after slamming everyone with a 100% tariff increase. That is a nation that relies on imports. We are watching. |
I smile when foreigners say Nigerians are intelligent. Well, thank God for the number. Let me explain: 0.1% to 3% of the total population had previously found their way out, and these people have performed admirably. So, the few did a good job representing us. What about the remaining 97 percent? Blocked heads causing wahala in the nation. Later, more block heads began to leave, potentially increasing the percentage of Nigerians in diaspora to 10 - 15% of the population....or even higher. Then we started hearing about Nigerian scammers and betrayals. Lol. If you doubt my claim that there are too many y blocked-heads in Nigeria, read the comments above. After Oloyede explained everything and even demonstrated that anyone earning the minimum wage up to N100,000 (I suppose but not more) will not be taxed. So they can not understand how this is a win for the vast majority of Nigerians in this category. And, interestingly, I believe that more than 90% of the block heads listed above fall into this category. Being progressive while having blocked heads is frustrating. They are just too difficult to deal with, and they always think they know everything. Let us pretend we did not read their comments by not mentioning them or explaining it again. Allow them to demonstrate their stupidity so that, when the dividends arrive, they will learn not to speak again. |
Bobrisky knows he can't win, but instead of the court to still drag the case a bit longer, they dismissed it fast so that Bobrisky assylum case can be accelerated. They think Bobrisky is actually interested in the case also. Hmmmmm! Very shallow-thinking Nigerians in power. |
Everyone is curious about how this will end. To be honest, Americans should be pleased with this bold move; however, for BRICS, it should be a wake-up call to bull crap the US. We will see who wins here. The US wants to go against Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Hmmmm. This is very tricky. But I suppose the United States must try; otherwise, they will lose everything. And BRICS must also resist; otherwise, they will be crushed for the next 50 years. As soon as Trump gets on board, the US will either continue to reign or begin to fall. Whatever the case, I pray that God's people are protected and provided for. It is well. |
sonofsteven: ![]() Honestly, blocking from mentioning is needed so that individuals like you cannot mention me first. E pain you? ITK (I too Know). This ITK mentioned me first bh writing comments to counter my claim with about 5 or 6 claims and he wrote them boldly. I then responded that he should provide evidences to the claims and I will provide mine. This ITK cannot provide a single evidence to any of his claim. Lol. And he is here still behaving like a confused orangutan. ![]() You better learn how to be humble. ITK does not know the name of coffee without caffeine cos if that's the case, OP will mention it. And the image of the instant coffee does not show that earlier. Your iq is that of elementary school so I will not respond to any of your comments. ITK quickly used chargpt (or other ai) to find sme points, but could not provide evidences. ![]() Will you get out of my mention? Person wey dey look for block button but the first to mention me. Yes, people need that button so they can block your ass from first mentioning them. But someone like me don't need it. I will treat your stupidi. ty ruthlessly. Get the crap outta my mention. I hope you understand and can comprehend what I have posted here. Lol. person wey mention me first dey look for block button. Are you normal? Person wey bombarded me about 6 points to counter my single point cannot provide evidences to back them up and still arguing blindly with insults. You must be out of your mind. What do you call someone who don't understand a subject and can't comprehend anything, and same person accusing others of these? My mind goes to the mad man in the street calling others mad people. ![]() Get the crap outta my space and mention. Provide evidences to your claims, and stop behaving like an orangutan who has just been flogged. No need to "shalaye" like how Genzs always say. You don't have any evidence to your claims, shut the crap up and stop mentioning me. You do not stop mentioning me, and I will not stop treating you at your low IQ level. Find your mate. Find another orangutan to exchange stupi.dity here. |
Zooposki:You want the north to explode. Zulum, Udume, and now Atiku have been vibrating.......lol. a beg let Naija win this VAT issue before we move to resource control oooo. For now, it is the gateway to resource control. It is a win for top revenue generating states. No more Bamboo dey work, Monkey dey chop. Lol. Resource control will definitely enter. To me, the north should start getting ready to work their ass and generate enough revenue. I am not a fan of Tinubu, but perhaps he is the one who fits Nigerians. Lol. The north will never side with him again, but it's too late. Lol. ![]() Let them get high blood pressure gradually so they can live long to see what is called real fairness and equality. We don't want them die of heart attack now. Let's pressure them gradually, systematically, and logically. ![]() |
“Nigerians are united in their call for a fiscal system that promotes justice, fairness, and equity. They are loud and clear that the fiscal system we seek to promote must not exacerbate the uneven development of the federating units by enhancing the status of a few states while unduly penalising others."What is the fairness and equality in states with extremely large populations that have refused to contribute significant revenue but have been parasites since Nigeria's independence, to the point of constantly asking for more states and local governments so that they can collect more allocations, yet we see no progress? Is that fair to the states that generate enormous revenue for the country? |
sonofsteven:Stop beating about the bush and provide evidences. Can you? If you cannot, drop it. I can provide for mine. You don't need to "shalaye" like Naija Genzs always say. Provide evidences to all your claims, and I will provide mine. Are you ready? |
sonofsteven:I can provide evidences to support my claim, can you do it for all these claims of yours? If you are up to the task, let's do it. Caffeine isn't as bad as how people demonise it. Lol. Yes, it has its cons, but it's pros outweighs the cons when used well. There was a time that I had dehydration challenges and I didn't even know about it until my doctor pointed me to it. And I made adjustment, and that was it. |
200mg per day is adequate with no or minor side effects. Caffeine has both advantages and disadvantages. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends a daily dose of 200 mg or less. Converting it to cups is tricky, but stick to one cup per day, with a maximum of two cups on some days. You are good to go. |
Lol https://www.nairaland.com/8280792/nescafe-effects-pregnancy#133117359 In addition to my comments above, Nescafe is bad. There is a toxic stuff inside instant coffer that causes cancer. You should take only organic coffee bean that you grind yourself or organic powered coffee without any added preservative or sugar or sweetener. |
Ringstonermasks:Lol! You must be one of those lazy ash.oles who inherited land from families who grabbed it many years ago and are unable to work on it, but want to hold on to it in the hope that one day the government or an estate company will come develop it for them and they will part with a large sum of money. Let me advise you. Instead of waiting indefinitely, go to your state and see if such a plan exists for your land. I do not insult people the way you do; instead, I will continue to educate you. Can you see that your IQ is low indeed? But you can improve on it. If your land is not among the reserved areas, you have no choice, bro. The earlier you know, the better for you. . Mr. high IQ that cannot pose sensible comment, here is something you should meditate on. Now, go find something do with your life cos I'm done with you. Done and dusted. |
Ringstonermasks:Where did you read that I said people should steal land and not buy it. Na waooo! Guy, you need to return to school and learn well. Christ!!! And families who claim ownership of land, did they buy the land? Definitely, your IQ is extremely low...yet you think you have a super high one. Lol. |
cucumbar:Did you read the last paragraph I wrote? You really wanted me to mention Fulani, right? So, you don't know the meaning of security lapses in Nigeria? And, assuming none of the issues you raised exist, will your people engage in farming? Is it the Fulani that prevented your fathers from farming? Did Fulani prevent your tribe from replacing old cocoa, coconut, and palm trees? Oh! Fulanis were primarily responsible for the north's agricultural economy. When did the Fulani issue first arise? So, if you resolve the Fulani issue today, other regions will begin competing with the north to provide food for the country? |
sulaak:Do not you think my solution to land issues addresses this? Please read my comment again for a comprehensive solution that addresses your concern. Thanks. |
MadamExcellency:You have a serious issue with comprehension. Lol. Anyway, let me help you out. Check a good dictionary for the word "multi." Before you embarrass yourself, try to control your hands and tongue and not let them lead you. Always strive to follow where your head leads you. Take deep breaths when your hands and tongue want to rush ahead of your head in understanding a situation. Let us do it now: take the first deep breath, then the second, third, and tenth. Following this exercise, you should feel alert and unable to make a reckless comment. Shallom! |
HeroicMeastro:Many people have quoted me, but I will respond to you alone. But before that, you are the one spewing nonsense. You are simply blinded by religion. Furthermore, you pose a significant threat to Nigeria. You have no intention of changing. And by force you will accept advancement of Nigeria. If you do not accept it, high blood pressure will take you out. Nigeria is moving ahead. Lol. My position is as follows: use technology to track everything and the judiciary to correct the wrong. You are still playing the religious game bro. If any Muslim wants it, he can have it as long as the technology closely monitors him and, if there are any lapses, the person must face the consequences. Saying that you are a Christian or a Muslim, and so on, is a religious game that is taking us backward. This simply means that we will not have such an airstrip, which is not beneficial to our economy. CAN needs to shut up because they are not supposed to get involved. And if there is any Muslim who can subject himself or herself to the same scrutiny, let them do so. Period. Bro, take deep breaths. Let us take one, two, three, and ten. Bro...Can you sense peace? Shallom! Lol! |
HeroicMeastro:You asked me a question and immediately passed judgment because you had preconceived notions about what I would say. You are a typical example of the problem we are facing. You are one of those who require reorientation. We will get it right soon. We will. I have learned not to respond further after correcting Nigerians because everyone is correct in his or her opinion. So, have a blessed day. I am always available to individuals with open minds who want to re-examine all points of view, including those they disagree with. Given that you have demonstrated bias, please let this go and refrain from mentioning me again. Bye! |
Agriculture remains a strategic sector for diversifying our economy, disproportionately dependent on oil. Nigeria certainly needs the solid support of her agricultural scientists and experts as strategic game changers to end hunger in this country. Consequently, the government increased the number of agricultural universities in the country. Your technical skills and expertise will continue to be required until we reach the Promised Land of food security.The only point I read in this article was that more money should be spent on Nigerian agricultural institutions. This is fine, but it is not the main challenge. The main challenge is Nigeria's land law. People who want to farm are unable to do so because a small number of families hold onto available land. And the members of these families are no longer interested in farming. The government must devise a strategy to discourage owners from hoarding land that is not being used. I have my own ideas, but I will keep them to myself here. Security is a new challenge and can be easily tackled if we are united. |
This is an interesting article. Punch has successfully hammered more on state capture. Lol. Every president is guilty of this issue. And Punch has failed to provide solutions because we have failed to identify solutions to the problems we see. We spend so much time analysing problems that we fail to provide solutions. This is exactly our way of life. This is what Udume wants for VAT and tax issue. He wants us to spend years deliberating on the problems rather than preferring and implementing solutions quickly. Nigeria is a complex nation. The solution to state capture is simple: take away the president's authority to appoint INEC leaders. Period. This will help to eliminate state capture, and it will also reduce corruption. When voters have the power to reject corrupt leaders, politicians will be forced to work and do good. They will have no choice but to attend pre-election debates and clearly state their intentions and strategies for resolving the issues they have identified. And then, when they run for reelection, they must justify their first term in office to voters. But, knowing that they can easily rig elections with the president on their side, why would not they continue misbehaving and looting? Why will corruption not flourish? And why will state capture not be more popular? Nigeria's president leads the state capture board. |
Religion is one of the most powerful weapons used to control the human race. Nigeria, as a multi-religious state, is an important country in the world. Just look at how this issue has gained popularity because Muslims are upset that a Christian leader has been given this opportunity. They even ruined their own chance by citing terrorism. They raised an unnecessary panicking caution while attempting to block a Christian leader, which has an even greater impact on them. When an Islamic religious leader applies for the same, they will be scrutinised 1000 times more than Oyedepo is. This is how we drag out issues for so long. This is exactly what Udume wants in the tax debate. To continue dragging it within themselves for no reason. Lol. When madness reigns, disgusting people believe they are in control. Lol. Nigeria will face significant challenges in making progress. Multi-religion, culture, and language are supposed to be our strengths, but they are actually our greatest weaknesses. But I remain hopeful that a new breed of leadership will emerge and take advantage of all of the opportunities presented by multi-religion, culture, and language, allowing us to significantly reduce our weaknesses. I believe that things will change, beginning with greater transparency in INEC, the body in charge of Nigerian elections. First, we must remove the president's authority to choose its leader. I believe the US style is preferable, in which there are six leaders with equal power and each party has a maximum of two members. This is exactly what we need in Nigeria. |
Great Education is the weapon against oppression. These politicians capitalize on the nation's high illiteracy rate. Thank God for social media, and also for Oloyede's leadership. The guy is simply too good at what he does. Udume understands that if the guy and his team speak, he is done. Lol. And the senator in charge of this investigation is excellent. They would have killed it, as they always do with good things, or dragged it out for so long that they could make so much money every time they discussed it. Lol. Nairalanders can now see that passing these bills is in our own best interests. Na style, we go get the regional government and resource control we have been asking for. Yes, there are always alternatives to getting what you deserve instead of turning to violence. We do not need Nnamdi Kanu and Ikpe's aggressive approach. Let us work together to strategically address Naija's challenges. Everyone will soon start receiving what is rightfully his or hers. Na so ooo. I dislike Tinubu and his gang members, but when I see positive results, I support them. This is great, and I support it. |
mu2sa2:Are you the one who is making ekiti poor? Your reasoning is just exactly like Udume. The millions there will flock to ..... your statement is zig zag. You don't even understand yourself. Oga, ask someone to explain these bills to you before you open your mouth again. Bless you. |
Watcharena:Ok. Trust Obi also at your peril. Blessing. |
BoldBrainz: Etiyin:Help readers with phrases they can use to search, or search and give them the youtube links. This way you can help many. |
Watcharena:So, it's Obi or Atiku that will forever magic and reverse everything? ![]() |
aribisala0:The bolded part is the truth. The moment Oyedele explained the whole things two groups of people supported the bill: 1. Tax payers earning minimum wage. They aren't paying tax anymore. And majority are under this category. 2. Oil producing nationsjust to repeat your point. |
Good. The ONLY way forward is for Atiku to step aside and allow Obi to proceed. They should find him a northern vice candidate. Give him a PDP ticket. Then they should chase Wike out of the party. This is the only way for the PDP to fight effectively in 2027. If Atiku tries to make Obi vice president and Obi accepts, Obi will be a clown. And they will both regret it. Period. |
Working with someone who is not on one's intellectual or physical level is disastrous and frustrating. They are so comfortable collecting millions of naira per sitting while deliberating and prolonging issues that could be resolved in a single meeting. These senators and their spokespeople are selfish and only concerned with their pockets. They want to drag out these issues in order to continue collecting money, lol. Initially, they claimed that the tax is bad and will harm them. Then Oloyede and the FIR boss entered the Senate to educate them. That was when Udume introduced the narrative that they are too hasty. Everyone was shocked. The same Udume who claimed they wanted to paralyze the north with the bill demanding explanation also stated that they should prevent them from explaining anything to them that day because they were not officially included in the order of the day. So the senator leading the investigation quoted another law of the house and ruled him out. A very useless senator...Udume is useless. He is only concerned with himself and his own interests. He does not want these guys to educate us on all of the implications. The days of using threats to get what they wanted are over. Guys now know how to reach out to the common people in the north also. I do not understand what kind of speed they are talking about. Is not this the type of speed required to pass bills? If you have a valid counter-argument, then stop them there. Not that you don't have anything but telling them to just wait. Wait for what? Is it not the issue on which they are deliberating? So, what would you like them to wait for? Honestly, having unintelligent people to work with is so frustrating. And funny, they heard it right. Lagos State is the main impediment to passing this bill, and the FIR bosses were surprised that Sanwo Olu welcomed them. Lagos is also losing a significant portion of their VAT revenue. They also said they approached the FG about releasing 5% to the states. When Oloyede said he thought the governors and the senate will praise him for his work, but they are the evil against it...that he was shocked. I laughed. What Oloyede does not realize is that they are for themselves. Lol. Dem no send the people they represent na. As bad as they say Gbajamiala is, you should go to Surulere and see his work. All members of the House of Representatives received funding for projects in their constituencies. Go ask Surulere residents about the work that man completed. Why can't they also do same? Try telling Surulere residents that Tinubu will not return in 2027 and see what happens. Lol. Tinubu is not my hero...but at least we have eliminated oil subsidies and the naira. Lol. Yes, we are realizing the value of what we have. We can now work on these issues. But everyone wants them to keep doing evil behind the scenes....but they heard it for themselves...we can not keep doing it. Yes, Tinubu was evil for attacking Jonathan. I despise him for that. However, we are unable to continue because the resources are no longer available. What caused Buhari to leave and flee? Guy man saw what lies ahead, na. He japa! Anyway, God will help us in this country. Tinubu is not a man I support, but allow him to pass these bills. These are the foundations required to restore Nigeria to the regional system that we have requested. Allow everyone to go hustle for their money. Allow the south-east and south-south to receive a significant portion of the oil VAT. If the Kaduna and PH refineries require crude oil, they are paying the appropriate VAT to the people who deserve it more with this bill. Shikena. The north should work more on his agriculture...and earn money. Any state that cannot survive should be merged back into the state from which it originated. Shikena. |
lexy2014:Just read these questions. Lol. An elementary 6 kid can ask more intelligent questions. The one that cracked me most is question 5. Imagine someone discussing political issues ask such. How do I even make any comment that this one can comprehend it. Oga, it is well with you. Take care! |

Later, more block heads began to leave, potentially increasing the percentage of Nigerians in diaspora to 10 - 15% of the population....or even higher. Then we started hearing about Nigerian scammers and betrayals. Lol.
