Foreign AffairsRe: Syrian Rebels Have Toppled President Bashar Al-Assad by Focusmind: 3:32pm On Dec 08, 2024
I hope the country rises from the ashes of this war. The faces of these rebel leaders look more like terrorists than freedom fighters. I hope they will all come together, under a common leadership and united armed forces, to rebuild Syria. The next few days and months would be interesting to watch. No be Arabs again. undecided
Foreign AffairsRe: Damascus Has Fallen: Syrian Rebels Breach Assad Defenses To Enter Capital. by Focusmind: 8:25am On Dec 08, 2024
Syria will be another Libya. There will not be any centrally - recognised government. Each faction of the rebels/terrorist will be controlling its own fiefdom. The West should know that the fall of Assad will spell doom for them in later years. Refugees and migrants from Syria will continue to flood Europe.
TravelRe: Air Peace Shares Water In Disposable Cups by Focusmind: 9:07pm On Dec 06, 2024
This OP must be a JJC. This is a common trend among airlines. You just want to trend but I am happy that your ignorance was squarely addressed by others. Even in US, environmentalists are urging airlines to reduce their waste and most have started giving out water in disposal cups instead of giving full bottles to people. There is nothing wrong with it. Coffees are also shared in disposal cups in airlines.

PoliticsRe: Donatus Mathew Who Won Reps Seat On Obidient Wave Abandons LP, Joins APC by Focusmind: 12:44pm On Dec 04, 2024
LP was and is Tinubu's Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), which purpose was achieved. undecided

One of the best kept secret of the 2023 presidential election.

Obi is APC's beautiful bride but people wont understand.

Very soon, Tinubu would invite Obi to Asorock to "advise" him on how to chat the way forward for the nation

Leaving Nigeria

Larfarge staff welfare is about to take a dip, we all know what the Chinese, Lebanese and Indian run companies can do interms of welfare compounded with a Nigerian HR manager shocked

Even basic PPE kits workers fit no see

You sabi the format. Once a Western firm exits and sells its stake to Chinese or Indian firm, the entire business model dynamics changes. Those guys are adept at working in a challenging markets like Nigeria. They would import their own unfriendly labour policies with a mean and ass-licking Nigeria HR to drive the obnoxious HR policies. But give it to them, they can turnaround a moribund firm to a profitable one but at a great costs to staff, customers and the environment.

TravelRe: Libya Repatriates Over 150 Nigerians by Focusmind: 5:28am On Nov 27, 2024
Women and children!!!

Some single Nigerian ladies will go to Libya and come back with children from different men. Some deliberately got pregnant to get sympathy from rescuers and NGOs from EU. This one has backfired. Imagine coming to Nigeria with kids with no sources of livelihood in Nigeria, other than the usual transport fare given to you to go back to your State.
RomanceRe: Is She Not Too Young For Me? by Focusmind:
Inconsequential

I was 32 while my wife was 20 when we got married. She just finished the defense of her final year project in school then

She has grown under my tutelage and grown into a full woman.

She brought youthful flare in the marriage while I complimented it with my maturity and experience, and, so far, we have been living well, going into the 12th year now.

There is nothing wrong in marrying a younger woman. It could even be fun for you. as she would see you as all she got, while you nurture her with love and patience. If you are not a patient type, do not marry a far younger lady. They lack experience in lots of things and are bound to make mistakes or not meet your expectations in terms of maturity, professionalism and tact in doing things. Patience is key.

Typical Yoruba man how many did the criminal in your state construct?
He made a valid point and you are insulting him. It equally means that your standards are terribly low. Modern roads are built with pedestrian walkways provided....not open gutters as you could see in the picture. Anyway, the professor already said it, that his inability to deliver on his " Dubai- Taiwan " campaign promise is due to the "large illiterate " population of the state.

PoliticsRe: It’s Unfair For Lagos, Rivers, FCT To Have 70% VAT Proceeds – FIRS Boss by Focusmind: 7:10am On Nov 20, 2024
grin grin grin

BAT na master, abeg! Someone listening to Adedeji would think that he was siding North. The bill is to move funds to where consumptions are and not where the head offices of the production companies are located.
If 1m people consumes alcohol in Anambra, the VAT there to should go to Anambra. If 10 people consumes alcohol in Kano, they get vat only on the 10 people that consumes the products.

If 10m people in Lagos accesses network services from MTN, the VAT there goes to Lagos. If only 50k people accesses or uses MTN services in Kebbi state, the VAT that goes should only be on the 50k people that uses the services.

I think this is fair and Mr. President should be supported and commended for initiating this fiscal reform. VAT as a consumption tax is also a "destination" tax and the locations where consumers of goods and services lives, should enjoy higher percentage allocation.

Soludo is just an "audio" man. Everything about him is "ongoing ". Nothing has ever been completed and commissioned. With the red mud soil still visible within the construction site, give the project completion date till 2026, earliest. undecided

CrimeRe: My South African Partner Duped Me Of $3.5 Million In Kenya — Murray-Bruce by Focusmind: 3:52am On Nov 16, 2024
I am sure his total income tax paid in Nigeria under the PAYE scheme may not be up to N1m per annum. Nigerian elites and politicians would keep feeding fat on this country with little contribution to the State's coffers. If you see the tax clearance certificates of some of our politicians, with their under declared incomes, you will know why the country is like this. The same applies to private individuals in business, with properties scattered every where. Most would declare total incomes that are not up to N500k in a year just to pay little tax. It is only the working class people in the formal sector that are contributing the highest in taxes in this country.

He should go and sit down. After the discovery, what then happens? Media hype and hypocrisy all the time. Be stealth with your investigation and keep mute with your forensic investigation till you are able to nail the culprit. Not coming to the media to make unfounded allegations.

Yet, you want people to make sacrifice and continue paying taxes, voluntarily. This is one of the reasons why self assessment and compliance with tax payment by the citizens would be impossible. The Nigerian elites are living on unimaginable affluence and wealth to the detriment of the citizens
Foreign AffairsRe: Ivanka Trump’s Election Outfit Sparks Wild Theories About How She Really Feels by Focusmind:
She should have stayed away. She never knew that her father would win this election. When Trump hinted that he was coming back, Ivanka issued a message that she would not be backing his bid for the Whitehouse but wished him well. Now that the father won, she is stylishly warming herself back to her father.

Foreign AffairsRe: Now That Trump Has Won, What Are Implications To FG And Nigeria? by Focusmind: 8:35pm On Nov 06, 2024
US would increase their local oil production, thus, reducing reliance on import from Nigeria. This would deplete FG's earnings potentials and may result in budget deficit. This man may take drastic action on immigration.

They should have allowed sleepy Joe to be in the race. He had better chances than Kamala. White male Americans would take trump over Harris. Biden could have stood better chances, despite his state of health. He was cornered by Obama and Democrats to abandon the race. He should have been given benefits of the doubt.
