Bros sorry permit me to say this I think corruption is the bane to the growth of our naira not the production abd or manufacturing. Ghana don't produce has much as we do but their currency is weighty than ours because the level of corruption is at a lowest minimal when compared to ours

we are ruled by people who believe in dominating rather than equality .... and most of what is generated in ghana atleast 90 percent goes into develop Ghana unlike our own whereby 70 percent goes into personal purse .... mind you these loot are not been reinvested into Nigeria most are starched in foreign account

imagine you have a farm that you never turn up to maintain or do replant or to apply fertilizer and so but you only show up when it time to havest, a time will come whereby you will have nothing to show for such farm

Hismasterpiece:
so the reason for our currency devaluation is because we don't export anything besides oil? But what about UAE? Isn't it the money they make from oil that's the reason their country is the way it is?

he mention something like greediness .. when you sell 1billion dollar of crude and remit only half of that amount to country acct while the rest go into personal account, this will create few rich people and make the Nation to loss alot by the time the country has to pay wages for those who work for that a billion ....

even china is great today not because of few individual riches but what country has been able to generate from his citizen and able to use such to improve the well being of everyone not the few as we practice in Nigeria

Ladyhippolyta88:
Do women and girls plan to get raped?So how exactly should they be responsible in this context.You are sounding like a rape enabler.

The topic is about rape and women are mostly the victims even men also but women are more disadvantaged and get shamed for being raped your comment is a clear example.

It is being perpetrated by men so it is about them and their failed moral standard and lack of commonsense.Is there a venue to where rapist are found that you are saying they find themselves in wrong places.


Uncle what are they supposed to be doing? Are you to tell them what to do.So in the closed place they are in women should not feel safe abi?Instead of you to denounce these rapisr you are busy sounding like a rape apologist and blaming women?what right do they have to rape and kill her.What are you saying abeg?So she cannot even feel safe in church the house of God again so where exactly can a woman feel safe in this country.I am lost for words with what I am reading.I am yet to see where you have condemned rape culture in Nigeria ooo.

NO GOD WILL SAVE YOU FIRST

You should be saved first so that people with your line of reasoning will not be justified to rape people since it is the lady's fault for being there in the first place.
Mtcheww

first ask yourself these question ,.... can you play down where smokers gather.... if your sence can tell you that it a no go area then you should know that we live in a lost generation no where is safe cos anything is born to happen inrespective of your relationship with people around you I pray we never witness such because it not a good tales to tell....


last year some school girls in my area one of them have to comit sucide the following morning because she can bear the stigma..... one thing I always tells ladies, around me is that dress,modesty yes this will only solve 30 percent of the matter but also it goes along way ..... May God protect us all...

I doubt this... Nothing is free In Nigeria.

this is not goin to.be free bro there would be a sharing partern btw MTN and SUPER TV ... these will be per subscription

Yoighaman:
Bro.

There's no justification for being a Yahoo! boi, leave the polithiefcians out of it.

If you choose to be a Yahoo! boi, I wish you all the bad.

Take care.

you are not getting it bro nobody choose to be but the country subject everyone to take different risk some might be good while some are good

just because you have a jar of honey , never means everyone have it ... first ask why do we have bandit , drug pusher and many vises in the first place if not for the fake goverment we have

Yoighaman:
Bro. I understand you very well.

Leave the polithiefcians.

Yahoo! Yahoo! Is no excuse, how do you sleep at night, knowing someone is crying somewhere? Why being so callous? Why the cold heart?

The law of Karma is real.. retributive justice, law of gravity, whatever, it's damn real bro.

God punish Yahoo! boys...

I understand you very well but you cant stop your children from stealing if you yourself is an arm robber..... yoruba will say charity begin at home .... if our politician keep up with tge pace the youth will only make use of multiplying effect on it which is result of what we have now .... everyone wabt luxury life but dont want to work for it ...... many of our politician have been to europe, Uk , US and they know what these country did to make the majority of the youth useful for their country what is keeping us from doing the same thing

the say education is the Key only to graduate and find out the pardlock is stolen

let fight the root course of this if these youth are engage in a meaningful way the will be no room for yahooo but a set of youth u leave behind after assuming office you only comes to them when you need their votes we do anything possible to be rich especially from the south here .....

Yoighaman:
Why do you guys always refer to our politicians as justification for fraud and theft?

Please keep the polithiefcians out of this, we know they are also thieves.

Let us do what is right. If the politicians kill their mothers, would you also do the same?

We need to eschew robbery and give our country a good name.

Have you travelled abroad before? Please do, then you will understand my perspective.

These guys are damaging our image as Nigerians!

if you want to put an end to a thing you first stop the people that start it yes our politician ,... dont you know alot of youth look up to them so if these youth cant get into any political office they will start their own vices...

the politician are the reason everything is mess up.... if all our polician stop defrauding the country now .... yahoo will die a natural death in Nigeria

you write dat am justifying them with fraud and theft... so can snake swallow millions, how a sudden off the mic happen in the senate quary of NDDC to mention few ...... how do we come to the point of calling someone that steal a maggi a thief but will overlook the one that go away with billion and then give them a brand name like embezzlement.... missmanagement..... if we might have all call them all as thief and parade them as one uneducated people wont have elect some of them back to office because they only know thief and never mind to know what other names means

Yoighaman:
I wonder why people do not put 'Yahoo! Yahoo!' into prosper perspective.

These guys are thieves, they are in no way different from armed robbers. One category uses guns, the other uses laptops.

May God continue to expose and punish them severely.

Animals.

what will you call the name giving to our politician name like missmanagement of funds, enbezzlement, but deep down we all know thief is a thief no other name

Betece:
The EFCC have been arresting this boys but the vibrant accelerator is porous and distinguished .
Why is the law enforcement practicing an act that destabilizes the hypocrite and independence of cement, o my God I'm very perplexed and mechanic, the star has been watered and television .
May canter help us all

EFCC aka Nigeria Hishba only arrest the poor because their law is not for the rich ( politician)

SmokedWhiskey:
That’s not necessarily true. The problems we have in Nigeria is that many of our leaders are not resourceful if not there are many ways governments can generate revenues through various forms of direct and indirect taxes. Lagos and Rivers State for example may have a huge cooperate tax base to take advantage of, but where are they going to get cement from? where would they lumber from? where would they get steel from? Other states that have these natural resources can impose their own taxes of which Lagos and Rivers we used as examples would have to pay when they need these materials. The equation tends to balance itself as the forces of free market economics come in to play. Let’s get a way from this covetous mind set, God had blessed every state in Nigeria with abundant resources, the governors just have to look inwards, be resourceful to harness those resources.

you are right my brother ... because i keep asking myself that if in family life once you are 30 your parent start to depend on you and most states in Nigeria are above these age but yet still looking unto federal allocation...

until we scrab the so call federal allocation then we can say we want to build Nigeria... let every state stand up and face reality , let them look inward onto what they can turn to money from their state these will generate alot of employment opportunity for the youth of every state without any federal character to affect them......

if anyone has a free money coming in regularly no one will think about working for anyone since what comings as a stipend every month is more than enough to take care of bills and lifestyle

even if these state tax is fully implement you will see that there will not be a single bandit if there is any the state will crush them without giving a bleep

supportnija:
You a lier, Lagos would not , Lagos would be nothing, today , TOTAL pay VAT , OANDO pay VAT, Mobil PAY VAT all in lagos etc all these head office would force to pay their VAT according to each state according to consumption, today over 44millions liters used petrol and Diesel in Nigeria today are only paid in Lagos, Some of you think , it is so simple that like that, I can recharge my phone and pay my VAT in my state. NLNG head office in Porthacourt now will pay VAT to Rivers, You see how funny are some of you!

by the time everything is open eenh everyone will know who has more population, the one you are defending federal your eyes go clear ontop, the worst that will happen to all other state is that they will only collect tax base on business that happen in their case ... in the event of network card these will base on info giving out buy the teleco about number of active user in that particular states

everyone go know their limit very soon....

empress101:
HI everyone..
I have been talking to a guy recently..We have known for years but lost contact and reconnected again 3months ago and I honestly do like him alot(I think he likes me too)....
When I asked him what he really wanted, he said "I dont want a relationship, I like you and just want you around"..
To me,its selfish and seems like torture to my emotions going with the facts that I'm beginning to have catch feelings..
I'm so confused now, what do I do??
I'm planning of stopping communications and erasing all memory of him...

answer this question .... what do you bring to the Table as per friend that two of you are .... then i can advice you

baby124:
They are not meeting anywhere. South South should round up and deal with those causing insecurity in their state. Stop enabling cultists and miscreants who you cannot control. When it’s not election time they are busy kidnapping and killing foreigners. If the state is peaceful, Oil company workers will live there. By the way, oil is fast becoming extinct. Most oil companies are moving to alternative sources of energy. What happens then?

that the question that i ask a friend that if other state handle security the way some states handle it that means there will not be a good place for doin business imagine if southwest boys start to dey kidnap .... it will be a doom for everyone because the little strenght Nigeria has in inviting foreign investment is here

just like what you write up there, if every state can man up and secure their state with giving room to any form of banditry or kidnapper that single gesture has a better multiply effect when it comes to tax generation

but I hope Nigeria we get there one day ... Northern people only has a says today because some region allow them at the expence of their own region but the history is about to be upturn

Ade3131:
[b][/b]

Let's see it this way sir. You're a producer of chocolate bars and your corporate office is in Lagos due to nearness to the market. However, your production plant is in Ondo state due to proximity to raw material and cheap labour.

The scenario painted above is exactly what happens in the case of IOC companies. Let's now ask ourselves if it is right for the company who situated its headquarters in Lagos for strategic reasons should pay tax to Ondo state because their production factory and raw materials comes from there or they should pay tax to the state that houses their corporate presence.

In my opinion, Ondo state can only lay claim to tenament rate and the income tax of those workers within her territory while Lagos have every right to collect tax on whatever the company declared as profit because that's where the market is.

To buttress this point, companies in Lagos whose staff live in Ibafo, Mowe, Agbara and other Ogun state communities but journey down to Lagos everyday to work, those companies do not pay income tax of those employees to Lagos state government. I know this for a fact. They only pay income tax of those who live in Lagos to the Lagos state government and this has been on for a very long time. This same argument goes for the case of the IOCs. They're only entitle to pay income tax of their staffs who work on the upstream or downstream to their state of residence and nothing else. In as much as their head office continue to remain in Lagos, it is 100% legal for them to pay their taxes to Lagos state government.

good with this write up if they have to push for this according to DIRI delta willstill earn low because the majority of the taxwill be pay to Lagos like cooperate taxe and most of the workers now leave in Lagos .. I think the only wayout is that the two government should meet one on one and agree on a sharing pattern since the tax involve the two communities

tysontim:
Diri faults IOCs on paying income tax in Lagos
For Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, part of his complaints is the decision of international oil companies (IOCs) to continue paying their employees’ income tax to Lagos State where they have their headquarters as against the states where they extract oil.

I think Gov. Diri is absolutely right here, the company I work with have their headoffice in Lagos island with up to 30 staff , but our field office is here in Ogun State with upto 150 staff the staff in ogun state pay their payee to ogun state while the one in Lagos pay to Lagos

DuduParaPara:
Any idea their rates or plans?

And can a non salary earner (business person) register?

AXA charge like 50k per year for Gold membership .... though they have other other plan for individual and family ....

Hygiea is good with small hospital but always fuckup with big hospital

stanluiz:
Nonsense!!

IGR IGR yet you can't build roads. You can't pay salaries. Where is the IGr going to ? The IGr of a thing is a media paper propaganda.

The people of ogun state are crying that they don't have roads. All the roads in the state are death traps. Where is the IGR ?

Propaganda will not take you guys anywhere!

that is why we want total control of the IGR assuminga state generating 100 billion only for the federal to give you 20 out of it let every state work with what they generate and see how things will change

mike8804:
Normally I don't accept this kind of apology, a LovePeddler is always a LovePeddler even when got caught she becomes a sorry LovePeddler

there is nothing like apology here see her face she still make up con dey cry on top am that one no show say she is truely sorry

mikeapollo:
If your parents had invested heavily in you, to see you through primary and university education and you become a professor, it is your responsibility to give back to your parents for as long as they live. You cannot give any deadline or ultimatum to that. If they had not sponsored your education, you would not have become successful to make money and brag around as a professor or business man or whatever! They can decide to give the money you give them to any of your other siblings. That is their prerogative.

If FG had not invested in Lagos, there was no way Lagos could be talking about generating the revenue and VAT we are talking
The FG investments in Lagos continue to attract businesses and generate income, including VAT on daily basis.
The FG sowed into Lagos and other states and deserves to continue to reap from their investments in Lagos

even if am a professor today and I know my parent invested on me that cant make a fool to the extent of giving them all my salary every month for them to give me what they like the best I can do for them to appreciate them for their investment on me is to set aside 30 percent of my income for them every month so that I can put the remaining 70 percent to use for myself and my immediate family .... since government collect import duties from the port in Lagos alone which no one dispute so why are you dragging the VAT with the state

mikeapollo:
I don't agree that the FG alone should collect VAT, but we have to be fair to other states who did not enjoy the kind of investments that FG made in states like Lagos and Rivers. The status of Lagos as a commercial city is due mainly to investments by FG when Lagos was the federal capital....the roads, sea ports, airport, headquarters of industries/companies, embassies, etc. So LASG alone cannot pretend to be the brain behind the commercial activity and transactions that generate VAT in the state. They already have PAYE tax to themselves.
VAT should be shared between states and FG.

let relate this to a family member , let say you are first born so you enjoy some benefit from your parent because they are active employed when you are born compare to your siblings, along the line you begin to fends for your siblings there will come a time when you will stop

look at Nigeria today no state is less than 20 years old so what are you saying

aremuforlife:
Every body will sit tight, they will have look for means of generating money within their state.

with the goin my brother I think the southern states can create the region they deserve ... how can some people be distroying beers call it haram but will be eager to share the tax from such, it only 30 percent that should be goin to the federal the rest stay with the state

even any state that has more than enought can borrow some state money for their project this is part of restructuring we want.. from here we go to Police and Natural resources

mu2sa2:
Hypocrite. When truck drivers from the God blessed region stopped work for a few days, prices of foodstuffs skyrocketed in the south - lamentation everywhere. God has blessed Nigeria through the north.

you don forget so soon.... how una merchandise tey destroy when una try am last ..... do you remember that down south here naa we still dey dictate how una go get money for north.... there is nothing as blessing from the north all naaa pain we get from the north .... that is why when anything happen between hausa fulani and Yoruba your leaders will rush down here like almajiri because southwest is the only safe haven una get ... if una know say una be blessing for be a blessing to your region first

the least poor people in any Southern states is a millionaire in the North .....

SmartPolician:
The only thing wrong with the union is that the states in the north are not willing to look inwards and tap into their strength for the improvement of the lives of its people. They want to keep reaping where they didn't sow.

To the news , this is a test of resource control and true federalism. Technically, Rivers State has kicked off the process without waiting for the divisive federal government. I think another state should challenge federal policing, while another drags the FG to court to challenge why it collects the proceeds from resources in its domain.

Perhaps if this FG is reluctant to do the needful, states will apply legal means to get it to restructure the country. This is the best way to get an irresponsible government to do what it is supposed to do, not calling for secession.

Also, if a governor cannot generate revenue for his state, he should step aside. Governance should be about competition and it should be left for smart people who have outside-the-box thinking dexterity, not for nonentities who want to lazy about and loot scarce resources.

until we start to dey deny every state their monthly allocation .... I mean on earth no human that want something good to come out from his kid and still give them upkeeping money at the age of fifty years ..... let all state look into their comparative advantage and invest massively on such to generate funds mainly for the state ... imagine a litter of cow milk is 350 naira ... but we are,not ready for that discussion .... by the time every state only depend on what they generate then Nigeria as a country will know where we are goin

Demigod22:
I was my grandma's favorite child before her death last year. Since her death I am the only one seeing her in my dream. She always visit with gifts and bunch of money and always advising me to be strong.

Since her death I don't go to her house again, last time she visited me in my dream complaining how I don't visit her house again, she said she came to stay with me in school, after her death, with multiple dreams of her giving me money, to some extent I started having small pocket money in school.

Last time I dreamt, I was frying sweet potatoes and she came to give me money. Sometimes, in my dream, she will call me to her room and gave me bunch of money to count, immediately I finished counting the money, she will smile and disappear before I return the money to her. She is always coming to give me money and gifts in one way or the other, she is always complaining that because she died that is why I am hungry that I shouldn't worry.

In the whole family, I am the only one seeing her in my dream since her death, sometimes I get really scared. Can grandma love her grandchild even till death? Can anyone explain these things happening to me? Could it be spiritual love? Please I need explanation.

look from my own small sense , the old woman wan show you something from that her house go back to that same building and search thoroughly there is something like gold or treasure she keep some where and naa only you she get that connection with to talk to everything no be juju naa just common sence once another person decode the message and take it she will stop appearing to you

Citygal:
A medical doctor who is paid #150,000 per month and works 9 hours a day, 5 days a week and 4 weeks a month is only receiving #833.33 per hour. How is that magnanimous?

I trust that if it’s being stated this way and paid a cumulation of it monthly or biweekly as the case may be, they would have fought for a upward review a long time ago.

Nigeria is a scam.

thats what we have here in Nigeria a system that never pay everyone but few ... what I notice recently is that most of Nigerian manager employed into a multinational company are just weaked or greedy, a foreign employer would be willing to pay per hour but they will advice montly pay

my daily feeding allowance if I go on client field work is 10k per day but my day pay 8 hour is 5k plus

travelwaka:
Crazy ,this is costing us billions yearly. If we can end this, It will save us billions yearly and it will cause a ripple economic problems in most west African states

thats why Nigerian government want to remove subsidy and the price will jump to 300 plus per litter but the issue is the new minimum wages wont be sustainable

Surely24:
Those guys don't care for a common man

no be so bro, when you are into business of such it business first, just like subsidy let everything go back to private sector but it must not be concentrated in one hand , let company that can generate power generate and distribute at the same time ... no middle man like what we have now then we can now have sufficient power

as its now we are pay double money .... disco and genco generate sell it to distribution company who are largely money oriented and always maximixe profit who later distribute to us

why can we allow the like of genco and disco maybe some other company that can generate to also sell direct to customer thereby reduce transmission money on us

I have told myself i will not marry any woman dat stick with wen i had nothing nor the one dat help me become something. I will just settle dem and move ahead. women and their entitlement mentality will make hell out of you just like this my sister here

you are wrong bro, where is she when lola dey with peter back then in abuja she come into the family when the ovation is high bro, is better to stick with the one that stick with you when you dont have anything because they will still reason am say a relationship of years cant just go into the drain just like that .... you see the one that you marry when everything don ripe ...am sorry she might kill you because if not for your money you no go meet her

Maobichek:
If it was as a result of infidelity (Paul sleeping with maids), I say: shame on him.

Paul and Jude tormented Lola so much that it became a tribal issue, I read interview where Jude referred to Lola as a monkey.

Paul and Jude should come out and talk, we want to know why Anita want a divorce. If they hated Lola as a result of tribe: shame on them, if Paul had Anita and was sleeping with maids: shame on him.

My uncle married a from Ondo state, he died and the wife is fully in charge of everything, (more than 5 houses both in Lagos, Abj and Aba, with other things including the house in the village, she still comes to village every 2years with all my nieces).

gbam ... a big shame on them especially the big brother JUDE.... they forget when the two psquare are still in abj wey be say naa the same lola dey run from club to club securing performance for them everything cook finish dem wan send her away ... thank God no be lola do dis to peter ..... the whole Nigeria would have decend to another civil war

Bornsinner7:
I been dey beg you to reason with me

Honestly I still wonder how these niggaz think true love exist in riches..

I'm not a legal practitioner so I always wonder why divorce tends to favour women over men.. can't the man keep the children and take care of them while the woman pays child support??
Even cases where the children are divided, the man still has to pay child support..

Cheating has always been the excuse of these women to reap a man off his hard earned money.. can't you leave without a cut of his wealth??

I may never understand.. until I'm enlightened

mostly in western country the man dont have much time for the kid so they leave mostly everything with the woman so the result is what we have now....

I just no dey reason some Nigeria ladies at all .... the best thing to do with them is that even you marry them here in Nigeria make sure say naa only you and the kids get the pali for overs because you filing for her might spell a doom for you in the long run
