oshkoach: Majority is Nigerians are happy to be oppressed. They take whatever the government throw at them. Our civil society organizations have become an arm of the government and too fragmented to challenge government policies.
Most of the so called civil societies are actually sponsored by the people in power now. When they leave government,they will find their voices
But for now,they can't talk.
Shey you get it?if you don't get it,forget about it..
Brendaniel: When I tell Tinubu supporters that though OBJ jad his faults he is by far better than Tinubu and Tinubu has no excuse to blame previous governments for his failure.
How do you measure performance, it is based on what you met and what you left, just take a look at the chart up there for OBJ, imagine if it was Tinubu who met such in 1999 when he became president, just think about the manner of excuses he would have been giving.
And still OBJ paid subsidy throughout his tenure and cleared Nigeria's debts of about 38 billion dollars, and still opened an excess crude oil account and saved over 30 billion dollars within a space of 8 years which was separate from external reserve he grew from 4 billion dollars to 43 billion dollars...
Now I ask them again, What exactly is Tinubu"s excuse? The bad part is a lot of his people hate OBJ and like Tinubu and will tell you that Tinubu is better, why? Tribalism, OBJ is a nationalist, Tinubu is an ethnic supremacist leader
Say no more my bro. That has always been my analogy all these while. If they had taken over Nigeria in 1999. It would have been excuses upon excuses and sold off Nigeria to the Chinese patapata
And also they hate OBJ because baba was a Nationalist and doest play their nonesense ethnic politics the current Tinubu APC gang plays
And that is why they still can't lace Obasanjo's shoes.
Namaster: First of all, there is tax increment. But NOT for everyone.
Secondly if you are running a business, you need to REGISTER a Private Limited Liability COMPANY. NOT a Business Name. A COMPANY.
That way, you'll be able to take advantage of the TAX EXEMPTION threshold available to Small Companies.
Small Company is if your business is doing #100M or LESS per annum in Total REVENUE with a Total Fixed Asset that is less than #250M.
Also, it's NOT a percentage of your bank transfers that's taken as tax. It's a percentage of PROFIT.
That means after you've deducted the COST OF GOODS sold and other BUSINESS EXPENSES, including Salary and Shop Rent.
And even after that, you may NOT need to pay taxes IF your revenue and assets qualify you as a SMALL COMPANY.
Understand that this EXEMPTION for small companies does NOT apply to Sole Proprietors and people who operate under JUST a business name WITHOUT a company registration.
Those ones will be taxed like a salary earner after deductions of relevant expenses.
Your best bet is still to consult an ACCOUNTANT.
They'll give you more clarifications.
Meantime, Google Nigerian Tax Act 2025, Nigerian Tax Administration Act 2025 and download the PDFs and read at your own pace.
You will NOT understand everything. Don't sweat it. Use AI to break it down.
AI will not always be accurate so take additional questions you might have with you to your meeting with the Accountant.
And how does the government know that which is my profit. That is a one million dollar question none of you have been able to answer
Not to worry,na this 2027. Oju gbogbo wa ma boo on top this tax issue
seunmsg: It’s a cautious word that signifies possibility of what can happen. Tinubu cannot realistically solve all of Nigerias problems in less than three years. They are simply telling you that the president is going in the right direction and if we stay the course, the golden years are about to come.
This is what should interest all Nigerians as we access the performance of Mr. President and make up our minds on who should lead us from 2027-2031. Recovering from the economic mess that Tinubu inherited in 2023 won’t be a sprint. It’s a long marathon that entails rigorous economic reforms and policies. All indices are now showing we are on course to full recovery and economic prosperity. It is left for us to ensure this is not derailed.
"Recovering from the economic mess that Tinubu inherited in 2023 won’t be a sprint"
Wasnt that what you people said in that Buhari's 8years? Followed him all about like a sheep claiming PDP has done this and that, yet now you want to blame Buhari and claim Tinubu meet an economic mess
anonimi: Any idea how many teachers Wike recruited in his eight years?
What of the four progressive governors of Lagos State since 1999? Did they recruit as many as Makinde recruited in just five years without having the kind of trillions Lagos has each year in budget
I'm not talking about Lagos here. Talking about Rivers that has much more money than Oyo. I believe Rivers should do better and stop celebrating 5K
It doesn't make any sense. We shall talk about Lagos in another scenerio. But here,we are talking about Rivers and I mean they can do better than this when "lesser state" did more than this
SixSeven: That's the part that is of concern to me here. The way he died is not something that should be revised into a joke.
Once he died there, that place should have been preserved. That's how we recollect history. I just updated my post you quoted to include the video of where Tafawa Balewa's body was found. Do you know what that site is today?
I have no idea where Balewa's was. I only know of that of Aguyi Ironsi and Adekunle Fajuyi. Both were killed somewhere at Lalupon on the outskirts of Ibadan
However some few years ago,on the very land they were killed,their statues have been erected side by side which still stands there till date
SixSeven: Governor of Lagos at the time, please who killed Funsho Williams
This is the reason we should write our history. Is it the same SL Akintola that fought before he died and did not die like a chicken? He did not go down without a fight so what's this all about? About writing our history, there are books about SL Akintola and they can tell story about this man but if Tinubu can tell the story of Akintola, I want him to tell his own life story, let's check something. Starting from his parents 🤡 We should ban those who don't have a clear history from telling history please. It's an insult to our collective intelligence. The b is ggest mistake the government made, and so many of our politicians do this was to turn Akintola's residence to a Court of Appeal. We no de preserve history, we will just destroy things and be building new things.
One of his sons wrote a book about him where he described his father's death. You may find that in libraries abroad and in some archives but the title of the book was Akintola, the man and the legend: A biography by Akintola, Victor Ladipo.
The house didn't belong to Akintola. It was one of the houses abandoned by the British when they left. Fani Power was staying at Agodi,while Akintola lived at the house which still stands there till date
In as much as I'm indifferent towards Akintola. But the fact that he died like a Man deserves some respect. He died fighting
P.S. But if he didn't shoot back at the soldiers,he might have lived just like Fani Kayode lived too. But Akintola was already prepared.
They knew something would happen,but never even knew it could be a coup. The entire Western Region was in crisis and it was killing here and there. He got a Gun and was taught how to shoot by Lagerma and that was what ended him
Finally fhe army has confirmed the news that officers from the North wanted to kill Tinubu but everywhere is quiet
As in officers from the North wanted to trucate democracy and everywhere is silent. From those people who also shout Igbo this and that and gets angry over abuse can go quiet when a actual death threats against a southern president.
AMINDA: Contrary to what his Nairaland lackeys say, Tinubu will face very stiff opposition in 2027, even from the Southwest. The coast is still not clear yet in Lagos, Osun and now Oyo in 2027. He cannot win the Southwest in a landslide.
"That Seyi Makinde's derogatory comment against President Tinubu at Osinbajo's birthday "
. Fayose is a clown. Someone that doesn't know who's birthday occasion took place is saying otherwise.
He doesn't even know it was Samson Ajetomobi, president of The Men of Issachar who clocked 60 that was having a birthday in which Osinbajo was invited as Guest
"The stock market in President Donald Trump's first year back in the White House was the weakest of any president's first year of a new term since 2005, when George W. Bush started his second term."
LordIsaac: Thanks. I don't think so as she didn't complain of leg pain. She got home, showered, ate, and left this world right there in the sitting room (she wasn't sick).
It might be. It has been advised that when elderly people travel long distances,they should wear a certain type of socks or when in the plane they should move their legs so their legs wont get swollen
