Makoko, Ilaje–Bariga or Oworonshoki are clearly reserved for those who admire Lagos from a distance, people who want the city’s drama without paying for the full premium package.
If you truly wish to enjoy the bubbles, vibes, and uninterrupted bragging rights that Lagos offers, please do the needful. Acquire money and leave those areas, then rent a respectable apartment in Apapa, VI or Ikoyi.

As for me, electricity has been behaving like a well-trained houseboy, obedient and consistent. Since power was restored three days ago in my area, it has not blinked once.

Look at this 🤡 , can you afford to live where I live in your life ?

DoTheNeedful:
You are just being overly critical. A minimum wage earner earns 840,000 in a year. Based on the new tax law, the 40,000 on top of the 800,000 is taxed at 15%, which means that a minimum wage earner pay 6,000 naira per year (500 per month) in tax. A minimum wage earner pays more than this in the old tax regime.

Many of you that criticize do so either maliciously or due to ignorance.

Our tax collection rate in Nigeria is one of the poorest even in Africa. The understanding of tax by Nigerians terrible. Many of you need to get it into your heads that tax payment is vital for any society to thrive.

Is that not still tax ? So why try to mislead people like the poor are exempted from tax

Minimum wage is 70k so technically nobody is exempted from PIT

Abati is not a good person trust me

First they lied that it was pipeline , the pipeline has been fixed but electricity is even worse now .

He won't be jailed though but you see that minister that helped him award the coastal road he will also be treated like Emiefele by new govt when the unearth the monumental fraud called coastal road

Penguin2:
I like this topic. And it’s because you didn’t post it to support anyone but to state facts as they currently are and what we need to next.

He didn't state any fact , he is deliberately trying to mislead people..Lagos budget for example is a lot less than what it was 10 years ago if you factor devaluation

Factor in dollar devaluation and you will see states are far poorer than what they were before .

Just 10 years ago the average Lagos budget was equivalent to 4 billion dollars, today its about 2.9 biilion dollar.

Going to make comparison from 30 years ago is not only misleading but mischievous..

Go back and compare the budget of today with the budget in 2022 and come back

President Tinubu please remove the current power minister, his reign has been the worst in the history of Nigeria , he absolutely has no ideas on how to fix power

The man is a proper glutton who is out just amassing wealth like a lunatic

People saying he launched reforms are easily deceivd , the man launched nothing, in 2024 he paid 7 trillion Naira as subsidy and spend another 5 billion dollars defending the naira ....

His power minister is the worst thing in Nigeria , electricity Supply worse than 1929

Never seen a govt so bad , imagine getting just an hour of electricity on newyears day yet one funny company that was registered last year just bought Eko Disco

This is the new trick of using threats of terror to prevent christians from gathering , it's being done in France also

You have no fact they were over speeding

I have always pronounced it well since I was a kid

sleek214:
That's crazy. With their expensive goods. They should sell off some of their buildings and pay. ShopRite in Jabi, Abuja is worth more than 2.4 billion.

Which building? They rent

I wish you what you wish yourself.

Getout with your meaningless diatribe 🤡🤡🤡

Revolva:
He is such an idiot and a weak guy no matter what why should u take ur life ...such a useless soul

What is weak about taking you life 🤡🤡🤡

SixSeven:
Someone was thinking I was heartless to be hard on this person, that I don't know the battles, I don't know the things this person is going through, I don't know this and that and I said part of being a man is surviving trials of this world. I told the person to give me an alternative to willingly participating in your own death and the person could not. And then I said, finding solution is a much better part to taking your life. No matter what. I stand by my words. Life is tough. It will break you but sometimes I think Nigeria's law or punishment for attempting suicide is more of a logical one than the punishment itself. Nigeria's law is telling you, if you want to do it, just do it and go, make sure you do it.

You don't know the pain you cause those living when you selfishly consider yourself only. You're not living for yourself alone if you don't know. Especially when you have influence. I prefer you take more steps to help live than take the easy step to press the end button when you know we will all leave this world unalive!

Then like those boys who shoot in US, you now write a manifesto letter on your death. For what? Just go silently and don't disturb the world if you wanted us to not worry about you. It would have been easier for the loved ones to lie to us and tell us he died in his sleep. I am so disappointed and I have no nice words to say. This is where we have raised this generation to mental health everything. Spiritually ungrounded, digitally prosperous. Perhaps one day, we will realise our true reason for living. A person is a person because of another person (Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu”: a person is a person because of other people). We will remember our purpose on earth, stay grounded and keep serving others because service to humanity is the price you pay for earth. Fall seven times, rise up 8th.

You can never have sense 🤡

Huge lies

Islam needs to be reformed

Clowns , how many Americans come there

PO can never win any presidential election in Nigeria , his only path to presidency is VP

His restive nature has out Nigeria in the economic woes we are in today , if he didn't contest in 2023 there is no way the current useless govt could have won and Nigeria will be in a better position economically today ..Just look at the situation of electricity today

Sannisege:
Yeah because Blackout started happening under him. The whole of Nigeria used to have 24/7 electricity before this minister. Infact, immediately he was sworn in as minister, his first task was to vandalise all the super electricity infrastructure put in place by previous governments. The dropped Nigeria's power output from 1 billion mega watts per hour to just 4k MW per day.

Well output was better before he came , if he knew he wasn't going to have any beneficial input then why take the job ...I have spent a lot of Christmas in Nigeria and this has been the worst when it comes to electricity Supply ....well you can keep fooling your old self ,you are not doing me

All lies

Absolutely not Worth it and we will all find out , it will trigger another round of inflation, weaken the naira further and not really increase govt revenue as being perceived...It's will put pressure on Nigerian banks as people will try to keep as much cash out of the system as possible...the greatest winner in all this will be crypto exchanges as a lot of large transactions will move there and the govt will not be able to keep up with it ...

Bottom line I see it it slowing economic recovery even further

Good2go1:
I am now thinking how tinubu effect is making me to wonder if the house project i undertaking is above my capacity.

The inflation is too much , from experience as you have started you will surely complete , starting is the hardest part ..May God see your project through

grandstar:
These last minute deals before the new year seems to be to avoid the 30% capital gains tax that goes into effect tomorrow.

That 30% is way to high. I would have urged 20% at most. It is currently 10%.

The corporate tax at 25% is also high. I haven't even included the withholding tax of 10%

The OECD countries (rich nations club) has an average corporate tax rate of 23.5%. If the government truly wants to encourage Foreign Direct Invest, it should nothing higher than 19.5%.

Manufacturing Association of Nigeria said it should be 20%.

Why's should a country in dire needs of investors be charging 30% CGT ... That is so lame

Tinubu will floor them before 12 noon...Peter Obi is the reason why Tinubu is president today

Bit Tinubu should be president to effect his failed renewed hope ? I know what you are 🤡🤡
