Dalohad:
Even Agbadorianistic agberoes who have never paid a dime of Tax are supporting this clearly politically motivated witch-hunting of opposition..

All the laws and regulations they are passing is geared towards one goal- Impoverish Nigeria and beat down opposition in order to enthrone Tyranny..

Don't be scared of witch-hunting if you're not a witch

SarkinYarki:
He paid duty on all his cars when they were imported so what are you saying , so now the govt charges tax for flaunting?

Oh my God!

Are you as ignorant as this?

Import duties are the same as income tax?

Gosh!

OSUNADC:
You ignored the question mark, why?

What question?

You were trying to politicise a technical issue. Does that make sense?

Is your coalition in support of tax evasion?

Rexymania:
The government wants to force some people out of the country....or cripple them. What's this?

Some of you just like to comment on what you have no knowledge about.

Rather than keep quiet, you continue to reveal your deep ignorance

PulaPower:
If you see the way Dino Melaye displayes wealth and luxuries on TikTok, you’ll know it’s accurate..

As in, which car Dino no get? E get almost every brand of cars..

Don't mind those ignorant comments

Except he's not the owner of what he's been flaunting and he should be able to prove it

SarkinYarki:
Melaye is currently unemployed and depends on rentals and goodwill so assessing him at 274 million Naira is unjust

What an ignorant comment

Do you know his rental income? Do you know if he has other income from investments?

Is PAYE the only form of income tax?

Please let those who don't know about how INCOME TAX is assessed shut up!

Rexymania:
The government wants to force some people out of the country....or cripple them. What's this?

I don't understand citizens like you

He shouldn't pay his income tax?

Do you know his worth? Do you know the basis of assessment?

Again, I don't understand citizens like you

OSUNADC:

Vindictiveness?
Just because he decided to join the coalition? The current trend of stifling the opposition's voice is mind boggling.

Why not tell him to pay his taxes?

Why not concentrate on the issue at hand?

Why not stop all these hasty allegations?

DonFreshmoney:
Am I seeing this clearly. N274 Million as tax for a year and N234million the year before.. I will see this as computer error, that means he must be making more than 2 billion yearly for his taxes to be this high..

What percentage did you use?

ZombieDredd:
Jesus is the way, truth and Life...

NO ONE can come to His father except by Him.

if you dont believe now, you will believe when its too late

Even Jesus himself said you should simply keep the commandments and that no one is good.

Quit all these reported speeches by writers who never met Jesus and who came up with contradictory writings.

The above thread is still relevant

If vehicles are compulsorily checked for roadworthiness every 12 months, why are VIO officers and FRSC officers chasing motorists all over the place?

Why do they mount road blocks to check the same tyres, fire extinguishers, etc, thereby causing traffic?

Why are rickety vehicles, especially commercial buses, still on the roads?

The above story further buttresses the concern expression in this thread

If vehicles are compulsorily checked for roadworthiness every 12 months, why are VIO officers and FRSC officers chasing motorists all over the place?

Why do they mount road blocks to check the same tyres, fire extinguishers, etc, thereby causing traffic?

Why are rickety vehicles, especially commercial buses, still on the roads?

SporaD8:
Exactly!
The most outrageous part is how selective they're in the extortion business! Unruly violators in rickety vehicles are let off the hook - they know those ones are bad market.
Flashy cars and young riders are their major target.

They usually target private cars. Cars with only the driver. Cars driven by ladies. Good looking cars.

They have lost the respect of people.

The modus operandi of VIO is outdated.

FRSC operates even on state roads thinking that people aren't aware of the court judgement restricting them to federal roads

Meanwhile, even with all their operations, you find danfo and commercial buses without indicators, brake lights, side mirrors, wipers, not to talk of fire extinguishers.

Lastma looks away while the same danfo drivers drive on one way

slivertongue:
What's ADC's business with the internal politicking of a party that to a large extent is out to help her?

ADC shouldn't be a meddlesome interloper but rather face her front because Nigerians are looking up to her for rescue from hopelessness.

You dey mind them?

They said election is two years away? How?!

Election will happen early 2027. That's some 15 to 16 months away.

Party primaries will happen or be concluded in about a year's time. So, when should zoning come out? One month to primaries?

This is the time for serious minded people to start planning

Yes, the government shouldn't be all about politics but, in this case, PDP isn't even in government at the federal level

This is how the confused coalition will approach election with shoddy preparation only to turn around and scream rigging

It's about 10 months or so to primaries and the coalition is yet to be sure of its members. For example, Peter is in two parties at the same time.

Later they will fail and start attacking national institutions like INEC and the judiciary. It's their trademark. Lose and cry. Lose and attack everything in sight.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail...

Jashub:
We are talking about history ; not the idolatry you gladly kiss , so kindly stick to the topic .

And besides, Ifa divination , its mentods of consultation is not documented in any written yoruba text . Meaning: it is just oral traditions pass down through generations of idolatry and narrations.

You're wrong

There are many books on Ifa, even in English for non Yorubas like me

SmartPolician:
Honestly, I must give some credit to the west (white people) for making blacks their citizens and allowing them hold key government position.

This is something we don't even allow among ourselves here in Nigeria and I know for certain that Asians will never allow. Asian are as wicked as blacks.

Credit?

Before you give them any credit, try and see if there's a link between most of the countries who do that and their colonialism history

LIVINGICONREBOR:
The first,last and only time I patronised the ladies of the night was in the late 90s when economy never too scatter compared to now. And I must confess, it was money truly wasted. Rationally speaking there is absolutely no sense in "paying" for sex.

Exactly 💯

I don't think the men who do it are genuinely happy not to talk of the women

HeatSeeker:
You might need to broaden your knowledge of what prostitution is. Your mind is gravitating towards ladies in brothels. This thread isn't about that

You have only assumed what my knowledge is.

Why are you restricting it to physical location? I mentioned buying and selling of sex. Even at that, will the effect on the people doing it be different regardless of location?

brain54:
Having sex with someone...

Who normally wouldn't have nothing to do with you.

No feelings whatsoever. Just because of the financial or whatever benefits she would get from the 'activity' whereby if she had a choice wouldn't, seems dehumanizing to me.

Even the process of bargaining like it's a piece of meat, pizza, or wrapper one is buying is dehumanizing.

It feels almost like rape to me. That's my personal opinion!

I agree with you

It's not only dehumanizing. It's traumatizing

How many rich kids go into prostitution?

Prostitution turns the female body into a commodity, to be priced and sold for momentary pleasure. It's almost like voluntary slave trade

The average woman wants to be wooed and loved. Forget the pretenses.

I doubt if there is any prostitute who feels genuinely happy about the job. It also goes hand in hand with drugs, alcoholism and crime.

HeatSeeker:
Sex only dehumanizes once it is forced and done without consent.

Once both parties agree (even for a price) the it edifies both. The lady gets the financial empowerment she needs and the man gets the dopamine hit from orgasm he craves. Both are served and none is dehumanized.

It's not as simple as that

Buying and selling of sex is anything but dignifying.

A number of studies have established that prostitution is intrinsically traumatizing to the person being prostituted.

Also, a majority of prostitutes suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder -- the same malady that affects combat veterans and victims of sexual abuse. PTSD leads to various forms of personal dysfunction.

HeatSeeker:
Detached sex is not dehumanising. The attachments that come as a result of sex are very problematic and difficult to get rid of.

It doesn't dehumanise the woman you're buying sex from? Is it dignifying?

brain54:
They is no pleasure there jare...

Having sex with a random stranger. Emotionless sex.

Where is the fun in that? Even the bargaining process will put me off like I'm pricing a piece of meat!

Of course it's like pricing a piece of meat or a commodity

It's not love. It's not emotional. It's not lovemaking. It's just sex at its most base animal level. It's to relieve an urge. No connections. No emotions. No nothing. Just fffk and go.

It dehumanizes. It is dehumanizing.

I hope this advice is for virgins not for overspent individuals who, after enjoying themselves, begin to say NO to the person they plan to marry.

Why didn't they say NO before they got disvirgined?

NB: this applies to both genders

brain54:
Why is it sounding like the guy is the only one benefiting...?

Or she is doing him a favor by being with him.



So he has to pay for service rendered?

I think guys are the architect of their own problem with these kind of mentality.

Even in the west where this "woke" mentality is originating from relationships aren't this monetized.

Nigerian men have monetized relationships so much that the women have taken it to another level and then the guys are coming-out to cry foul that women like money too much.

It's when a man doesn't have anything to offer that he tries to entice ladies with money!

You've put it together brilliantly

sleek214:
I think ADC vanguard was quickly created by APC members to always push out fake news...

What kind of opinion is this? You get analytical mind so?

Just take beer and peppersoup nah

If you like add water

Simple

We4all:
Your daughter is not broke though. For someone who fixed her body and wears expensive wigs, you shouldn't be complaining of poverty.

Wait o

Did she fix her body?

WhizdomXX:
I predicted this some days ago. No coordination by the opposition.

True

The opposition is opposing itself

The coalition has turned to corrosion

Rexymania:
I don't believe this story. There were threats before the plane even took off.

If no be say dem forgive kwam 1, Mama, nobody will forgive you. You for rot in jail. Na SE and SS people stand for you

Then let her case be revisited.

Let the airline sue her
Let her sue the airline.
Let those she allegedly assaulted also sue her.

This is the best way to reform society. This is the best way for people to get the consequences of their actions.
