Infrastructurally, wike performed better than okowa of delta state and obaseki of edo state but the major problem that made him to lose out to atiku is because of his temparament. He talks to people anyhow as if they are commoners.

That one you dey talk nah your own, the man nor care ,losing VP slot nor take one spoon of garri from the man.Make we see where PDPD money go come from after this cos Okowa took loan of 120 billion ontop delta state head,if them nor win, him go enter one chance!

MarryWhiteasap:
Unbelievable, so you mean all this while you haven't commission any layover-head bridge talk more of good medical facility and your mates are busy doing same in Ebonyi and Enugu within same tenure. Shame on you Wike the wicked and weakest river's state governor.
See as your level take drop with your governed citizen, they no even wave u. pupils no chant ur name, pride come b4 downfall.

Its like ur brain is wet

Magnoliaa:
Wow. No be watin una don dey preach since 1992 be that? Woman submit; man lead. So it is manipulation for me to admit that now? LMAO.

Story

Magnoliaa:
But I don't know what the men of today are turning to honestly. All jokes apart. This one is celebrating a divorce? Openly like this and on social media? Does he have family members? Kids? Is this how morally bankrupt we've become that a man is celebrating a divorce of all things in the whole world? Is this how much our values have eroded?
Publicly telling people with all his mouth that he failed as a LEADER and as an HEAD!

Because that is exactly what this is... there cannot be two captains in a ship, so I am 100% sure that he alone stirred that marriage to wreck! Women are born to be submissive, and have been brought up to be so, to follow a man's lead... a true man with the right frame anyway, so this one should just go and hang his head in shame for his lack of frame. Spits.

he who wears the shoes knows where it hurt, it could be a woman celebrating like this we have seen it B4, so if for him divorce is seen as liberation happy days for him. If its freedom for him happy days for him too, we should not Judge!

doggedfighter:
Nothing to celebrate , men can't stay in their homes without women.




After celebrating freedom, 2 weeks after now he will start wooing another woman.

That's if he's not celebrating this with a woman in the background.

BBBricks:
Muslims are more than Christians in Nigeria get used to it
How many wives do Christians marry, how many kids do they have?
I knew a man who has 50 children in Kano.
Welcome to Nigeria, it's not brain or power, it's God's blessing.
Politicians know this and that's why all our elections are always on Saturday (after Jumuat prayers on Friday).
Secular state my ass, answer this question by yourself, out of 36 states, 19 is controlled by the Muslim North, so who is indirectly controlling the remaining?

and U get only 3 likes chi

QSFemi:
Point of correction with respect to the quoted, Architects do not prescribe nor design size or quantity of rebars in any building element. It's the job of a structural engineer.

Well yes that was what I meant

eyesaswide:
Hello All,

SuyaSeller:
I have a sharp and clean 2008 Rav 4 for 2.7m

Looking good, I would have loved to gift this to a family member if I was in town and ready

femicyrus:
Loool
You remind me of my futile adventure many years back from Ibadan to Lagos to buy a car.
I was shocked to discover that cars are more expensive in Lagos than at Ibadan.
It is still difficult for me till now to understand why because Lagos has the port Ibadan cars are cleared from

There is a simple reason, Cars are first displayed in Lagos then moved to other states where the rate to view and buy is much slower, by the time it gets to week 7 owners are fed up and are ready to sell at cost price. Besides these other states are end point for these cars nowhere else to go. Load of cars o n stands do not belong to the owners of the stands rather individual sometimes based abroad who send cars to be sold at single or multiple units. these dealers just add their own cost and commission!

smokeyupu:
If the price in PH is at par with the ones in Lagos I'll advise you go back there and collect a car there.

The number of police, customs and other agencies you'll encounter on the road will make you regret.

The level of extortion is unprecedented not to mention the delay at several check points...

well if cleared properly, he can get a PHC number plate sent to him and he can drive down no issues

jamesversion:
I thought they claimed to have a Port in Port Harcourt.

They should simply rename the city Harcourt. Or Harcourts ville or Harcourtsburg or Harcourts Town.

No functional Port and you dey answer Port Harcourt.

Not enough vessels are wiling to come to PHC, you cant force ships to come to PHC,There also are other issues including navigation

Bobxin:
Yes, after examining the one in the car, mechanics advised that there's nothing wrong with it, and I shouldn't change it.

What the ratio of the one in the car do U know?

dangoteinlaw:
building collapse depends or results from some other factors sir not just steel size. The construction can still continue, there are ways around it.

I disagree here sir.in as much there is going to be a slab of another building on top of it, no Architect will prescribe less than Y16.if U ask for the plan you won't see Y12 but Y16

diordaves:
Sorry I can't check this for data protection reasons. I don't think I've visited the travel section before but I will do so now that you've mentioned it.

you cant check this cos of data protection? who's Data protection or you already did and realized they wont pay ULEZ and you are one of them people who cant man up to say they are wrong when it is steering at them right in the face. These are cars for sale on Ebay so Im struggling to understand where you pushing ur arguments to, anyway I asked to visit travel section cos there are shyte loads of person who know these cars are ULEZ free and live i n the Uk!

OperationalVehi:
for those who are unable to read the total post.

Dayo is a graduate. He became a taxi driver after years of unsuccessfully trying to get a white collar job.
Rukayat is a graduate of Kwasu, same university and year just like Dayo. She earns 50,000k at the end of the month.
Dayo on the other hand earns over 100,000k at the end of the month and already has alot of properties compared to Sister Rukayat.

Sister Rukayat feels sorry for brother Dayo for being a taxi driver after all the years of studying to become an engineer. Why is he now engineering a taxi ? little did she know Dayo earns better than she does.
Dayo is sad about his own progress because he is oblivious of Rukayat's earning. He feels, he has failed because his thoughts are premised on Rukayat's "soft look".

moral... your perspective might be wrong

Unfortunately this is the sad reality in Nigeria today where men shy away from working with their hands. But reach Europe they will work with thier hands.

Hi gurus, just to get clarity, I have got a tier 2 work visa. Working in the NHS, 40hrs/week.

Recently, I got a second job (care job) doing 36 hrs /week.

Seeing this updates from gov.uk website, hope I'm not breaking any rules?

https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/second-job

Be careful on this one, seek real good advice from people with same situation and past experience cos this was how I nearly got in trouble in my early days in the. I hope someone points you in the right direction here.

Thegamingorca:
Hi guys.

With regards booking a flight, are costs for seats a separate item to be paid for or are there passengers that lap each other?

Cos i was of the belief that flight deals on Skyscanner also include a seat to sit on at the very least.

What's now the talks of treating one's self to a tasteful flight experience wirh lots of leg room?


Are they going to throw the rest of us that don't pay for these optional seats in a cargo hold? Or will dey just give us random seats in between obese passengers.



Make it no come be say nah stand person go stand for conductor slot for 21hr flight. Abeg help your jjc traveller.

Yes you pay however I found a way round this
Option 1. when you do electronic check in at the Airports you are given the option of choosing your seat
Option 2, be nice to the lady at the check i n counter and ask for window seat or preferred seat.
works like magic

@ diordaves
let us have that conversation here, there are loads of people who live in the UK on here and not in property section
Let us start with cars that pay zero road tax and zero Ulez

diordaves:
You don't pay road tax because for bought your car brand new? Really? So road tax is for the poor people of the UK then who are unfortunate to by second hand cars. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) - also known as road tax, car tax, or the road fund licence - can be a confusing topic to understand.

If you're buying a new car, you will pay road tax based on the latest system that was introduced on 1 April 2017, and most recently adjusted for April 2022 onwards. If you are buying a used car that was registered before April 2017, then the rate you pay will be based on the system that applied at the time of registration, even if the car is still in production.
https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-exempt-from-vehicle-tax

You better call DVLA (Licencing authority) now to send you your road tax invoice or one day you go wake up them don clamp your car. If you bought a brand new car, you may not pay road tax for one year that is because the car company has paid it for you as part of their sales gimmick not that new car owners don't pay road tax. Where is that done? We the poor people that can't afford new car for done halla. After one year, you carry your kaya and start paying road tax by yourself.

The discussion is about Nigeria tax base as it applies to the housing sector and you said Nigeria has a broader tax base than the UK. This is screamingly so inaccurate. Let's leave road tax, petrol tax and the rest and focus the discussion on the housing sector.

Does Nigeria operate and implement the below listed:

CAPITAL (PROPERTY) GAIN TAX - for the home base, Property gain tax is simply if you sell a property that is not your main residence and make a profit, you will pay tax on the profit and you will pay income tax and you will pay VAT. Nigeria know weather you sell property? not to talk of collecting gain tax.
https://www.gov.uk/capital-gains-tax/rates#:~:text=28%25%20on%20your%20gains%20from,gains%20from%20other%20chargeable%20assets

INHERITANCE TAX - again for the home base, here in the UK, if you inherit a property from your parents that is above a certain amount, you will pay inheritance tax. This tax is so huge that some kids will sell the property in order to pay the inheritance tax. Some children to avoid the tax will sell the property while the parent is alive and put the parent in a care home and use the money to pay for care. It is that serious. Nigeria get inheritance tax. Not that I know of.
https://www.gov.uk/inheritance-tax

STAMP DUTY LAND TAX - You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England and Northern Ireland. For the home base, you pay the tax when you:

#buy a freehold property

#buy a new or existing leasehold

#buy a property through a shared ownership scheme

#are transferred land or property in exchange for payment, for example you take on a mortgage or buy a share in a house.
https://www.gov.uk/stamp-duty-land-tax

I'm not sure you understand or grasp the extensive tax regime system in the UK. So you think the UK is about the 5th biggest economy in the world partly only form income tax collection and VAT? I shake my head in Urhobo.

Any which way you turn in the UK, you pay tax if not directly then indirectly.

Do you know how to check for a car.s road tax fee,ULEZ and congestion charge with thier Number plate??

diordaves:
erico2k2 this is not all the tax you pay in the UK o. Unless you dey dodge tax or you are not aware of the taxes you pay due to the cleaver (ease) way taxation is collected in a sane clime. Make I help you with a few taxes you are suppose to pay or paying but you don't know:

ROAD TAX for car users. Maybe you don't own a car.

CONGESTION CHARGE to drive to Central London. So you don't drive to central London

Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) Charge (London). So your car passed ULEZ.

TV LICENCE. So you don't own or watch TV in any device.

FUEL DUTY is included in the price you pay for petrol, diesel and other fuels used in vehicles and HEATING.

AIR PASSENGER DUTY (APD) for every passenger who flies from the UK. Ticket prices usually include a charge to cover this cost. So you don't fly to Nigeria at least.

INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX (IPT) is usually included in the price you pay for almost all insurance. The rate is 12% on most types of insurance including car, pet and home insurance. Travel insurance is even higher at 20%.

Mind you, one pays the above taxes together with VAT which is separate. These are just some of the taxes I can remember at a flash. There are more.

I don't know what you mean when you say Nigeria has a wider tax base than the UK and the USA. This is fantastically incorrect. Maybe you mean illegal taxation like police check points, community youths, area boys, rampant civil service corruption, etc.

Bro sometimes we have to be objective, u do you live in the UK right ? I would like to think you dont drive cos if you did you will know newer cars do not pay Ulez fees. and road tax exempt
I dnt pay Road tax for my car as its Exempt its a newer BMW
I don't pay for Ultra Low emission zone as my car is newer its less than 4 years old Diesel
I do not have to pay Congestion charge cos I will be mad to drive to central London where there is no parking, I use the underground for such
Air travels is universal its got nothing to do with living in the UK or Nigeria
Fuel duty is tied to cars its irrelevant to whether one lives in the Uk or Nigeria
I think you need to read more on Insurance. The premium is what you pay to the insurance company end of where you are coming up with %%% I seriously have no clue care to xplain more? by the way Insurance is irrelevant as I pay same for my car in Nigeria and its not a form of tax rather its classed as Bills, you are mixing Bills with Tax cos if I don't drive or own a house I don't have to insure anything.
However in Nigeria what should be labelled Bills are taxes
Nigeria practice Multiple taxation. You pay more and getting nxt to nothing in return
You pay road tax in Nigeria in the form of vehicle licencing
MOT which is never checked
VAT is just day light robbery as you are charged SMS fees and you pay VAT for it
you are charged when you transfer money and you pay VAT on it
Over charged for phone calls cos the taxes and Vat is way above ours in the UK
Police will tax you look I can go on n on if you want as you can see my three Taxes in the Uk stands TV licence is not Tax cos one can live in an all inclusive apartment. and certain people are exempt.

[quote author=Bobxin post=114470161][/quote]Have you read the instruction?

kopell:
I disagree with you with passion sir please explain to us which of those taxes are you not paying without cutting any Conner, which is impossible to cut illegal conners as a UK resident .
The question should be how did the government utilize the little taxis this citizens pay? The brother as a point in regards to double taxation.

I will use myself.as an example.
1 Payee tax
2 my house(Council tax)if you rent or own a full house/flat
3 National Insurance.
4 VAT
thats all I pay in the UK
What tax do you pay in Nigeria
