They don't need to if you didnt file taxes for that year it wouldnt apply to you. You would be in system anyway for that tax year as IRS would have you on record.



Not at all. If your unemployed you would owe taxes most likely. The IRS wouldn't have you on file as owing.



I'm assuming IRS database. If state keeps track of people that owe the system could work. I don't see where they said vat. If I'm wrong qoute me again. They said they want to make sure everyone current on taxes.
check the heading it says VAT

The fees from driver license and number plate majorly belong to the states as a form of revenue. Frsc only take a part to cover the cost of producing them on behalf of the states.

I will never expect you to reason beyond your nose, sense is scarce trait in your dna, please see @HAH on trend for your requested answer. For your information, enough of this shenanigan you put out there under the cover of religion

The pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) is one of the five pillars of Islam and a mandatory religious duty for Muslims that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by all adult Muslims who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the journey, and can support their family during their absence.[9][10][11] The gathering during the Hajj is considered the largest annual gathering of people in the world.[12][13][14]
I asked you a simple question and you have to quote history . I asked what is pilgrimage you can't give a basic answer cos last time I checked pilgrimage is not an Arabic or Islamic word but English .why dont you quote it as it is stated by the Holy prophet . I find it disgusting when people like you try to twist religion to suite your own stand . Every body can go on a pilgrimage as individuals or group to certain place that holds believe .

::-- She did not report the issue to the school management but went home to call her bouncers who inturn brought police. The teacher may serve jail term but, i am sure her brothers cannot teach her and they even posted her picture for the world to see. No school administrator either private or public wants an indisciplined and egoistic student in their school. They see such as bad egg. The teacher made a mistake but locking the teacher up will send the wrong message to that little girl that might affect her later in life.
Nah that will make the rest of the teachers sit up and teach instead of flug .
I'm sure she will find another school where the teachers are more loving

If she is 14 in SS3, then she was about 8 in JSS1. Isn't that somewhat of a rush? (except she's unusually smart).

Please i want to know your view on disconnecting gearbox from radiator because of transmission oil and coolant mix in gearbox. I think the cooling effect from the radiator will help the auto gearbox performance. What is the best way to solve this problem. Is it total disconnection or replacing the radiator. The gearbox still works perfectly but the gearbox and the radiator has been disconnected because that is the best option now as suggested by a gearbox mechanic. But I think this should be a short term measure,or is this option okay for a long period
I cant understand in %100 what your question is but my advice DO NOT REMOVE ANY PART OF YOUR CAR THAT HAS A FUNCTION TO ITS MOBILITY.
It was put there for a purpose.Replace not remove.

Fidel Castro led the Communist revolution in Cuba in 1959
Fidel Castro, Cuba's former president and leader of the Communist revolution, has died aged 90, his brother has said.
"The commander in chief of the Cuban revolution died at 22:29 hours this evening (03:29 GMT Saturday)," President Raul Castro said.
Fidel Castro ruled Cuba as a one-party state for almost 50 years before Raul took over in 2008.
His supporters said he had given Cuba back to the people. But he was also accused of suppressing opposition.
Obituary: Fidel Castro
Fidel Castro: A life in pictures
Ashen and grave, President Castro told the nation in an unexpected late night broadcast on state television that Fidel Castro had died and would be cremated on Saturday.
There would now be several days of national mourning on the island.
Raul Castro ended the announcement by shouting the revolutionary slogan: "Towards victory, always!"
Barring the occasional newspaper column, Fidel Castro had essentially been retired from political life for some time, the BBC's Will Grant in Havana reports.
In April, Fidel Castro gave a rare speech on the final day of the country's Communist Party congress.
He acknowledged his advanced age but said Cuban communist concepts were still valid and the Cuban people "will be victorious".
"I'll soon be 90," the former president said, adding that this was "something I'd never imagined".
"Soon I'll be like all the others, "to all our turn must come," Fidel Castro said.
Castro temporarily handed over power to his brother in 2006 as he was recovering from an acute intestinal ailment.
Raul Castro officially became president two years later.
Fidel Castro's key dates
Fidel Castro (centre) and members of his leftist guerrilla movement in Havana. Photo: January 1959Image copyrightAFP/GETTY IMAGES
1926: Born in the south-eastern Oriente Province of Cuba
1953: Imprisoned after leading an unsuccessful rising against Batista's regime
1955: Released from prison under an amnesty deal
1956: With Che Guevara, begins a guerrilla war against the government
1959: Defeats Batista, sworn in as prime minister of Cuba
1961: Fights off CIA-sponsored Bay of Pigs invasion by Cuban exiles
1962: Sparks Cuban missile crisis by agreeing that USSR can deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba
1976: Elected president by Cuba's National Assembly
1992: Reaches an agreement with US over Cuban refugees
2008: Stands down as president of Cuba due to health issues
Throughout the Cold War, Fidel Castro was Washington's bete noire.
An accomplished tactician on the battlefield, he and his small army of guerrillas overthrew the military leader Fulgencio Batista in 1959 to widespread popular support.
Within two years of taking power, he declared the revolution to be Marxist-Leninist in nature and allied the island nation firmly to the Soviet Union.
Yet, despite the constant threat of a US invasion as well as the long-standing economic embargo on the island, Castro managed to maintain a communist revolution in a nation just 90 miles (145km) off the coast of Florida.
Despised by his critics as much as he was revered by his followers, he outlasted ten US presidents and defied scores of attempts on his life by the CIA.

Good afternoon, please can anybody assist me here. I have a ToyotaCamry 1999. I observed since over five months i have bought it that it consumes a lot of fuel. Inititally I was comparing the fuel consuming rate to the informatiion I haeard about camry on its fuel economy. However I was able to substantiate that it consumes more fuel when me and my brother travel to Ibadan. We both allow our gas to reach red at fuel guage and we make sure the guage is at the same place. We bought exactly N3000 fuel in each car. Alas! when we reached Ibadan from Lagos My own fuel guage is already giving me red while that of my brother remain about 2/3 of what we bought bough. I have changed the plug and the airflow meter is good. The car is not smoking and it doesnt give any sound that signifies the exhaust is faulty. But at time When I warm it in the morning I percieved a mild foul smell from the exhaust but with no black smoke. In fact it drops water and this cold engine white smoke. I also feel tht whenever I fire is when the fuel goes down and few times when i accelerate the level of fire is more than the real movement of thje car
and whats the Engine capacity?

For those asking how to get an original shock absorber, its simple rather than going to ladipo or daleko or where ever they sell auto parts alone, go with ur trusted mechanic and make sure u buy new ones still inside carton. Am sure when u do this u can hardly go wrong.
They will still tell U that Tokunbo is better than new . Cos to them lot the new ones are fakes.

obailala:
Bro, the only question I ask you is, how much did he (GEJ) actually pay to the contractors?.. and if indeed he really paid substantial money to those contractors, why then did the contractors stop work immediately after elections?

It's not enough to share N10 million mobilisation fee each to several contractors for several projects around the country whose costs are in the realm of billions all in the bid to get the trucks of the contractors to site, take pictures and then use same for election campaigns. The pictures in those links you posted above were taken in March 2015, less than 1 month to the general elections then. I'm sure you know exactly what i'm talking about even though you may bluntly refuse to agree for sentimental reasons.

If there is anything we all know, after May 29th 2015, Buhari did not run around the country asking contractors to bring back the moneys GEJ's government had given to them for road construction. It is not a hidden fact that next to nothing was budgeted for the ministry of Works in the 2015 budget and this lack of payment is what forced several contractors to abandon site (even as political jobbers dubiously used that opportunity to blame it on 'incoming' government).

I know you hate Buhari so much and love GEJ so much but please let's be rational in apportioning blames here, GEJ only used those roads as election bait, if he was serious about fixing them, he would have done so early enough.

Meanwhile you claimed that I always make reference to GEJ, please i'm confused here cos you were the one who mentioned GEJ's name and falsely claimed he made payments for projects but Buhari came in and stopped the projects.
Bro as much as had been said, let us calm down and see waht happens next,the FG are well known for all talk no action this is inclusive for every o ne of them since 1960.I like teh idea of what we use to have in Delta state.Direct labor Agency.No contracts.

Well I hate to break it to you, the fake creation called SS does not and has NEVER existed anywhere in the Nigerian Constitution or recognized by any law in Nigeria.

The same way we can say the Northern or Southern Nigeria today in November 2016, despite the fact that they have both ceased to exist as legal entities, we will say Eastern Region which was a legal entitty and remains as one of the most demographically homogenous Region in Nigeria, with 99.99% of its indigenes as Christians, have virtually identical languages, customs, and have intermarried for thousands of years!!!

However, Eastern Region remains an Authentic Region fully recognized by Nigeria Government and laws from 1954 to 1967, until Britain and their puppet, Gowan decided to divide and conquer the Eastern Regions Oil and to forstall the break away of Biafra, right before the Biafra/British Civil War.

In fact, the threat by British poodle, Gowan, to break up the Eastern Region into 3 states was in part one of the reasons why the Eastern Region declared the Republic of Biafra.

Today, you have a fake, non-legally recognized fake creation called SS and SE, Yet the shameless creators of this fake illegal entity called SS puts the Eastern most part of Nigeriam Cross River State into fake South South? No other place on Earth can anyone use the word South South or East East, North North or West West. You got ithuh
from where did you get this Idea that SS was created?
the Idea of SS,SW,NE,N,W,E etc are just geographical jagoons to mark certain areas of a country.I do not k now why you are so fixated on this issue.Was there any area on Earth called Delta in Nigeria in 1970?
or did you also have a region called NE during the 70s?
Plz ur argument holds no water.

So today both GEJ and Beyalsa remains part of Eastern Region. Got ithuhhuh

You're online, stop being lazy, just google old Eastern Region and you will not exhibit your ignorance in public again. There have never been a region called South. There was Southern Protectorate of Nigeria which comprises of Western Region, Eastern Region and later Midwest Region.
If you brain is y2k compliant you will realize we are in 2016 nothing to do with old demarcations and mapping . Would U call Alaska Russia or kazakstan rusia even though it use to be part of the USSR . huh
