Bolustical:
Watch out for white slaves who will condemn the FG for this good initiative.

How can a private entity keep making money from Nigeria without remitting its taxes?

Can a Nigerian firm try the same abroad without the FBI/IRS breathing on its neck?

The hatred for Buhari has made some of you haters of your country but we move.

Romance › Re: I Caught Her Red Handed But She Said She Was Doing It For Me by erico2k2(m): 10:01am On Jun 26, 2021
PENNYSWAP:
Greetings guys ..

I’m in an emotional trauma right now. This girl I have been dating , I want to marry and I have gone to her place and did a few of things my hand could afford traditionally .. I’m hoping to do the rest by Xmas .

She is a new graduate and she told me to open a side business for her to make small small change instead of being idle.

I told her to give me small time to save up money .

There is this guy she always talks about that is a yahoo boy and has plenty money , long story short , she came to my house last weekend , we were discussing, I wanted to use her phone and play 9ja ludo but she insisted on not giving me the phone .. she held the phone , turned her back after pressing it for long she gave it to me .

I angrily seized the phone , told her I bought the phone and sim that I’m seizing it.

We later settle and she slept early hours of the nxt day , I woke up brought her phone and it was on plane mood , I removed it from plane mood and a text msg came in from some guy .

I went to her WhatsApp to check the guy out and behold , she blocked the number on WhatsApp.

I unblocked the number and sent him message first , we started chatting , the guy was saying how he loves her and all that shit and the money he sent her to open up a side business.

I woke her up , confronted her and she said she did it for me since I was wasting time to raise money for her , she had to take it from her class mate , the said yahoo guy .

That she’s sorry not to tell me about it since .

She said I should allow her answer the guys calls so that she can get more money from the guy. I agreed and gave her the go ahead but she promised that she won’t allow any man see her unclothedness aside me her husband to be.

My mind has been heating up , why she lied to me and hid something of this nature to me .

The other mind is telling me to impregnate her then dump her when she’s 6 months pregnant that if I leave her now , the guy might take over and I will be the mugu here .

Guys what do I do , I need to wicked this girl I swear , my mind is boiling

Some one I have done 45% of her dowry is doing this to me . Kai I be mugu Oooooo

I need advise from real niggaz
Go and thanks ur ancestors!

You will be surprised that Armed Robbers from Nigeria would have gotten UK visas during the non appearance visa scheme. I went to a music show by a visiting Nigerian musician in London in 2009 and I can bet that some of the people I saw attending that show are hardened criminals from Nigeria and being the reflective person that I am, I started praying to God that may none of my kids end up marrying any of those guys kids in future.

You're laughable in your limited intellect. Did you miss the bit about climate change? Were you asleep when the UK signed up to ambitious climate-change targets at the G7 summit? Do you realize that the UK plans to have half of all cars be electric by 2030, and that diesel cars will be banned by then?

How exactly does all of this mesh with major subsidies for diesel in your cramped little mind? Worse yet is that you don't even bring a single reference to the table to buttress anything I've said! It's truly comedic to see someone so ignorant broadcasting his intellectual limitations for all to see with such vigor. You are a stunning example of the Dunning-Kruger principle in action.
your BRAIN is full of Diesel, you claimed my statement about the UK govt subsidy on Diesel was FALSE and you are here talking out of context and jumping into an argument you never started.I got no clue where you lot jump from, what you posted says 2022 and we are in 2021 or can you bludy readhuh
With the POSt you pasted cant you see where it also said if the subsidy was removed, it would be replaced by something else?
Pls go and learn how to raise ur argument instead of making a complete muckery of ur education!

Your claim about the UK is outright false. If anything, the very opposite is true.

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-reforms-to-the-tax-treatment-of-red-diesel-and-other-rebated-fuels


As for your claim that "the problem faced is corruption", well, yes, that is the point others have already tried to make to you: subsidies cannot be divorced from corruption, subsidies create opportunities for corruption. You simply can't have one without the other, no matter how much you might wish it.
People like you are the reason we have the kind of leaders we have now, something so simple you cannot even comprehend, did you bother to read what you posted b4 calling what I said FALSE?Go back to the Red Diesel POST AND GET SENSE

If oil price falls below 35dollars, we loose money to get it. It costs almost that much to get a barrel of oil from the ground.

Even with the subsidy, diesel is still N757 per liter...basically.

Plus slightly more cars run on petrrol than do diesel

Plus, like I said, IF YOU WANT A SUBSIDY...then you have to accept government rasing taxes, and taxing all Nigerians at higher rates, instead of just the 30% of Nigerians that pay taxes...so that they can fund a subsidy
ALl Nigerians pay tax more than people of the Uk, we are used to Multiple taxation, for my car the only tax I pay is £20 for a whole year to the govt, u want to list the various monies one pays o n the Nigerian roads in the name of owning a car?
or do you want to go to business owners who pay and pay and pay?.

The UK also has a higher tax to gdp ratio compared to Nigeria, and also does not subsidse petrol as well.(which most people use over there)

Subsides in developed countries are paid for by taxes mostly. Hence my reference to the tax to gdp ratio.

Nigeria's problem is that the subsidy funds come from the oil revenue, which due to fluctuating prices and our large population is not enough to pay for everything we want to do, subsidy included. So if we want to pay for fuel subsidy in Nigeria, we have to raise taxes on the 70% of taxable Nigerians that don't pay, and also raise the tax rate overall.


By the way, the UK itself does not subsidse any fossil fuel now, diesel included (it did some years ago, not now)

The UK also pays N759 per liter for fuel, compared to Nigeria's N165 per liter. UK also pays N757 per liter for diesel.
well about right or wrong of subsidy I will agree to disagree, but with the Uk subsidy, its ongoing till mama comes, google red diesel pls

Point of correction N20m will build you a 3 bedroom house I n Nigeria, its one unit not the whole block FYI as we speak there are still houses under £80k in the Uk as we speak. The mortgage comparison has nothing to do with Nigeria was just used as an illustration. Once again hand o n chest, I can tell you N20m will build you a house, the finishing might not be top-notch but it will I know this as I am an experimental builder as it is and my build is o ongoing bits by bits anytime I enter 9ja!
As for the mortgage, no one said 30 years in Nigeria rather 30 years in the US.You are talking about 30 years mortgage impossible in Nigeria, I recon you seem to forget how mortgages work.Even in the west, the vast majority of us do no pay up our mortgage, we just remortgage and harvest equity for a newer mortgage don't forget the bank can always take back their hows and re issue a new mortgage on such!so what have they got to lose?

1.I don't understand you, one minute you criticse people for opposing subsidy removal in 2012 rightly, then the next minute you say we should keep subsidy.

2.Governemnt, even good ones , cannot block all the loopholes.

a) Unless you want to build a large border fence, complete with mines and traps round Nigeria...there is no way you can stop cheap fuel being smuggled.

b) Unless you have monitors on all fuel tankers....human monitors ...not IT types that can be fooled....you won't stop fule being smuggled.

c) And the main reason why subsidy has to go....is simple. Jobs. The reason why we don't have more people joining Dangote to set up refineries is that subsides makes it not profitable to set up refineries in Nigeria. Because a subsidy means low fuel price.....too low to earn a profit to make improvements to refienreis, repair them, and build new ones.

d) And so long as fuel costs N300 and above in Benin, Niger, Cameroon, and elsewhere in the African continent...you cannot stop fuel smuggling.

3.And you people complain about debts....well subsidy is aBIG reason why we have debts. And why the IMF is telling us to remove them...because they want us to stop begging them for debts self.

Me I was opposed to PDP , as much as I am opposed to APC. And I supported subsidy for most of my life....until ten years ago...when GEJ and his people opened my eyes to how damaging it is.


Since you want subsidy, then stop complaining about debts and lack of jobs...because that is what you get in return for subsidy on petrol.
You should try and Understand what I posted,In reality, there is nothing wrong in subsidy if implemented rightly, the Uk has a robust subsidy in its Diesel up to 50% if you don't know.The problem faced is corruption, talking about cheap to produce to make profit yes U 4got we got Oil for free we do not need to buy to refine.

Very true...but most Nigerians prefer cheap fuel.....

Lord knows I used to think like most of them, until GEJ's attempt to remove subsides made me to investigate why they were trying for so many times to remove subsides...and then my eyes opened.
yes but that man from the SW staged a sit-on-the-street protest and his likes and supporters cheered him on. We must remain in this subsidy as its the only thing the govt pay for us, what they should do is monitor it properly and block the loopholes, now it's the NNPC doing it solely and guess who is in charge grin grin grin grin
