[quote author=mrvitalis post=132798303][/quote]We are talking personal tax here though, that was what my 20% is all about

ElevationD:
It is so painful to note that our governments at the federal, state and local seem to deliberately overlook this matter, where touts in different forms collect taxes from citizens, then remit to their personal accounts.

Can we say that these non state actors collect these humongous amounts and money unofficially “settle” government officials with part of the proceeds?

to the bolded, this is the case.

ElevationD:
How do you know that market people do not pay taxes?

Look, you must go around and see first hand how street boys get money off the hands of market people daily in most parts of the country. Except you want to live is self denial, you can easily daily see how area boys strip market women of 500 naira and above daily for displaying their wares, or even hawking their pure water and soft drinks. If government properly regulates them, ensuring their their is a proper collection method, would such funds not be lodged in government account?

The money paid on the roads from commercial drivers by NURTW agberos which is calculated in billions never find their way to government purses.

You may go out there to verify, except you want to play the ostrich.

What you narrated is the Gospel truth, however these monies do not go directly into government purse. This was why I said we pay multiple taxes in Nigeria and the truth is we even pay more tax in NIgeria than People who live in the USA or the UK FACT

mrvitalis:
Standard tax should be around 35%

in what country?
today the Uk is planning on slashing interest rates to from 5 percent to 4,75 percent. and 2o percent as basic tax.

LegendHero:
Nigeria has always been a poor country. People always claim we are rich but I have not seen it. Even when we are doing 2m bpd, we are still poor to afford what we truly deserve.

What gives that illusion of wealth is because politicians loot part of the little and give a false sense of wealth.

When you take an holistic view or look at Nigeria from the outside, you will realize that Nigeria is indeed RICH.

Gistmedia10:
In a viral moment caught on CCTV, a grown man was spotted attempting to steal two packs of noodles from a mall. The man walked into the store appearing to be on a legitimate errand but made his way directly to the noodles stand. After checking his surroundings to see if the coast was clear, he quickly grabbed the packs of noodles and discreetly stuffed them down his trousers. Unfortunately for him, his “smooth” plan unraveled when a vigilant security guard, who had been watching him, intercepted him as he looked up.

The footage, which has since circulated widely online, captures the man’s moment of regret as he awkwardly smiles in realization. Netizens have responded with a mix of humor, empathy, and critique. One user joked, “Instant catching for stealing Instant noodles,” while another commented, “Be thankful if you have something to eat. It’s really rough and tough out there.” Others showed sympathy, with one remarking, “You could have just helped him pay instead of embarrassing the poor man"

Hunger is real

princemaths:
of course you're not in Nigeria. I know that all apc loyalist are never in Nigeria.

They're ashamed of the country they're defending. They're all paid mere 20k to defend the govt. You don't have to tell me..

And I understand your ashamed being an e-rat for a country not up to Ghana and Benin R levels. It's a complete shame.


But unfortunately all APC supporters are shameless so they don't care.

Is like claiming to love shit so much but closing your nose from the smell.

sums up all APC e-rat noise noisemakers including you.

Na so, Hunger is real, Hunger at times make people to think with their Back side.
Its obvious you did not know there are places with 24/7 electricity in Nigeria.

PhyllsBaba:
This looks like Akwa Ibom, but I doubt she if she bought the house for that amount.

very possible, She is renovating

I think this is a very Old house and she renovated it, so this is very possible, The windows look new to the house relative to the roof

princemaths:
24/7 light in electricity You think light referred to here is sun and moon. Haha

SO you never heard of Escravos or Omuko which have gas turbines?
Also Bonny Island,
Ihovbor Community, Edo
Aboh/Okpai, Ndokwa, Delta
Christland, Ondo Town
These all have gas turbines and have 24/7 supply of Electricity
ALl these turbines I have worked on so this is first hand information., There are others I do not know, even in Lagos there are few near the Egbin power plant.
You are even too dull to comprehend what I am talking about dunno why I bother.

princemaths:
sharap you're just a 20k paid apc pro noisemaker.

Wait so you're now claiming to be abroad ?. You're not even proud of the country you're been paid to defend. Shame on you

If nor be say you are using 50Kphone U would have been able to decode that I live abroad, ofcos your cheap phone cannot navigate peoples profile and previous post. People like you are stuck in ur lil village and do not venture out so you do not appreciate the little you have in Nigeria.

Smithkafors:
Keep deceiving the gullible people…..snapping and calling news agencies to cover you for 1 or 2 projects. If Nigerians know how much this people spend on media houses to follow them everywhere they will cry.

This projects are not equivalent of the IGR on ground.

you seriously do no know WIKE when it come to road construction, I give it to him and he delivers, He never starts what he cannot finish.

cr7lomo:
Julius Berger no gree settle...

My thought, Wike use them no problem

tosyne2much:
I think if you look at it long term, it might be cheaper than grid depending on what you use it for

Yes that is correct, But in Nigeria its very hard to have initial start up money. Spending N15m at once to rip the benefit in a later years ie like 15 to 20 years is not what a basic Nigeria is thinking of. Someone earning N500k per month would not even think of that.

tosyne2much:
If you have a good solar system, NEPA is just a back up

And who are the people you see buying batteries likes diapers? You need to tell them to stop buying mediocrity batteries

A good battery can last up to 5 years. At least I know that a well maintained tubular battery can last up to 8 years

You do realize for a 4 bed duplex you are looking at N15m up

tosyne2much:
It's actually cheaper!

If you know your ways around it, you can install a 220ah battery with 1k inverter and four solar panels with N1m

If you buy a good battery and maintain it properly, you're going to have uninterrupted power 24/7 for at least 5 years

If you're in band A, you would have spent 1m on electricity in 2.5 years

OK let me stop you right there, you say buy a good battery? We have moved past good battery stage, People now Invest in Lithium dry cell battery, No maintenance. And you need space to store them and cannot be stored indoors as acid p reduces gas U dnt see. On the other hand lithium batteries are light weight, no maintenance but xpenssive to buy.I have two set ups in our Biz in Nigeria, one cost N6.5m and the other cost N4M, you say that is cheap right?. My house estimate was N12M.You think this is cheap?

princemaths:
youre just ignorant. Power inst expensive to make only the installation is Due to laws of conversation of energy.

In 2010 bill was around 7kw/h. Now it's around 250kw/h.

Solar now is cheaper than normal light.

so yoiu think a 2kva solar set up is cheaper than National grid? guy that white stuff in ur life is certainly found its way into you brain.

princemaths:
who cares about your opinion stfu you're just a paid apc 20k boy who can't make a complete sentence

It's paining you that Ghana have 24/7 light and Nigeria grid is collapsing every day. Why not go and collapse their grid so they can be in darkness like Nigeria is right now.

Nonsense. !

I dont think you realize I live in an environment where there is 24/7 electricity .I been to Ghana suburb too where there was massive power cut, you are talking l ike a 20yr old who ear drop to his old fathers conversation from the palmwine bar.in Nigeria there are loads of places with 24 hours electricity.

princemaths:
the only thing Nigeria is better is at producing idiiots like you who defend bad leaders.

if you can mention and prove any reasonable thing Nigeria is better than Ghana ill dash your miserable life 20k. Nonsense.

ahaha N20k, lol No wonder ur brain is reasoning at candle light capacity, One of the tyres of my car will feed your whole family and xtended family for one Month you are talking 20K, boy go play with your mates
20K,
The reason you don't see the good out of Nigeria is cos you live in one dead bit village, travel out and see what Nigerians do to promote teh Nigerian brand,

princemaths:
from your typing it shows your level of intelligence is very low. Who cares about power generated.

Benin import their electricity and still have 24/7 light unlike Nigeria who doesn't.

Nigeria produces light and exports It to other countries for profits and leave its citizens in darkness.

It supposed to be importing to met demand. The Same thing happens with fuel.

And youre here defending it. My friend go and sleep You can't defend the shameless. You'll lose big time. Benin is better than your eye country

Since you are talking about my mistakes in typing cos Im using my phone English master Plz xplain what the Bolded means since you are an xpert. in English

U think we all local like you who try to impress with spell checks on phones ahah U dreaming bro.who cares bout spelling on Nairaland..

[quote author=princemaths post=132732656][/quote]Ahaha I work with more than 20 Ghanians in london.U need to go to Ghana dnt take my word for it. and not just Accra or the high end areas.go to the suburbs too and get 1st hand situation reports.There is no comparism btw Nigeria and Ghana plzz.Even the Ghana people know this.

maasoap:
The problem here is the number of units they're claiming you're using monthly, that's the general problem with estimated billings. The price of your unit @57 naira is good. If only you can get a prepaid meter on that band C of yours.

Bross this thing nor choke u.how is this hard for one to xplain more than U alr3ady did

princemaths:
Most Nigerians like you don't know to research, read and comprehend things. You just read headlines and conclude.

It's either you don't know how electricity is generated or surprised that small Ghana and Benin has 24/7 light something that can only happen in Nigeria dreams.

Now read this article and let it clear your ignorance.

https://dailytrust.com/does-nigeria-supply-electricity-to-ghana/

You lot do not learn.how does Nigeria who could not generate enough electricity to power lagos supply the whole of Ghana??Nigeria supplies Ghana Electricity does not in anyway suggest it has 24/7 electricity.Y3s thier. ENERGY d3mand is not even up to 30%of that of Nigeria but they cannot generate e en 50%of thier own demand..I have. Een in Ghana and Benin multiple times for workIm a fluid Engineer and thjs profession has taken me round the world.power stations and lifters happens to be where I spend 80%of my working life.So U realy dont want to start telling me how poeer os generated..In west Africa all we have is Thermal and Hydro power stations nothing else.

princemaths:
yea it's Nigeria that have 24/7 light. If I were you I'll close my mouth because even Benin republic is in that list. And it's everywhere online

Why are you being upset for? just cos I pointed out the flaws in your borrowed post?

Large swaths of Ghana are facing power blackouts due to gas shortages at a major power facility, the nation’s power operator said, compounding the country’s worst economic crisis in decades.

“Limited gas supply” at a power installation in Tema, located east of the Ghanian capital, Accra, has led to “a supply gap of 550MW at peak time,” the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) said of the power outages in a statement Thursday evening.

Ghana partly relies on natural gas for power generation. The West African nation has battled power outages, known locally as “dumsor” for many years.

“Dumsor is fully back, no announced timetables, no communication, nothing, just frequent random power outages,” one Ghanian said of the latest power cut on X, formerly known as Twitter.

GRIDCo did not say in its statement when electricity would be restored to affected areas. CNN has reached out to the agency for further comment.

Recent studies expect the country’s energy crisis to worsen over the coming years, starting from this year.

Righteousness2:
True Repentance means turning away from your evil deeds.
Repentance means making right your wrongs.

Read The Conversion story of the tax collector in Luke 19 Zaccheus .

You cant remain with the sin and claim you are saved. You are deceiving yourself.

A Sinner is not a Christian. 1 john 3:8
A Christian is not a Sinner 1 John 3:9

True repentance of a man with more than one woman will entail him settling all his sin partners , sending them back to their parents and making peace with his 1st legally married Wife.
This is true Repentance.

Any other thing is you Deceiving yourself.

Xtreem silly, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my Adulthood.

Karismatik:
The gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. Nothing beats it.

This is the problem of Africans right here.

Nice Job with total dedication, I just want to point out something, You know when you guys are working on a project, I think you guys should try as much as possible to reduce the amount of stains you cause to the body of the building, look at this video and the brick tiles on the pillars of the balcony, it is stained, why not buy loads of old blankets to cover parts like that when carrying out your work? mine too was stained. Most of the doors, good job I never took of the nylon covering.

MIKOLOWISKA:
This is Nigeria not those countries
We don't have prepaid meters, stop lying
As Nigeria no install automatic never nko since 1950, una gree buy the prepaid? When the hive you price you complain

Just cos you are inadequate does not mean the rest of us are,you need to pull yourself from the rims you sit confortable in right now and strive a bit further I installed 5 prepaid in my house just Jan this year, my yard consist of 4 flats and one 4bed duplex so I actually got a 3 phase prepaid installed in the duplex all this year
