What happened to the National Housing Fund deduction from civil servants salaries?

3 more musicians needed:

King Sunny Ade

Sir Isaac Black

Oliver De Coque.


The others can play with sand sand.

This one is fit for Eastern beer parlour, village meetings and Igbo age group parties.
E no pass Niger bridge. Local champion

They weren't settled properly.
This happens all the time with collusion from those private pipeline security contracted (allegedly).
Everyone knows who is bunkering in the ND.
It's not a secret

Gotocourt:
Israel go Kpai this guy for that statement

And another shall rise in his stead.
They will fight and win eventually when the US is tired of babysitting them.
Netanyahu and Trump won't live forever.

SKIPCY:
They usually enter the chamber when very small and wont be able to get out through same way after they're big so they start looking for the next possible exit. They can be in there for years until they find a way out.

Patently false.
They enter through compromised central sewage system especially those that empty into nearby bushes or ditches.
This system is especially rampant in Abuna unlike Lagos that practice decentralized sewage system, one house per septic tank.

Taking a gamble is putting the life of the unborn at risk. Also, you will be denied your lifetime peace if it turns out the child is SS. You can only relate with this submission if you have seen families with such experiences.

The trauma of having to cope with issues of SS as a child and a parent could be unbearable. So, people should endeavor to carryout simple compatibility tests before thinking of love, not to even talk of sexual intercourse or marriage.

OP, this is the fate that awaits you if that pregnancy turns SS.
Don't let anyone tell you its by faith.
the challenges both physical and financial can exact a very heavy toll, talkess of the psychological and spiritual side of it.
the burden breaks spirit from within, crumbles homes and destroy marriages.
It's not a gamble worth taking.

Jughead29:
If Egypt could not defeat Israel, who is even Iran ?

Make a deal with Trump and let peace reign... Your fight is baseless and can never be supported by world leaders

And to some northerners who thought North Korea is a Muslim country, go and have a rethink because in N Korea Christian are the majority.

The only country that can harm Israel hard is China, and guess what.... Jew's and Christians are still the majority in China taking almost 50-70% with Muslim 0.2 - 0.5%😂

I really don't know the correct adjective to describe your stupidity.
You're comparing Egypt to Iran?
Like comparing South Sudan to South Africa?
Ogbeni, those two are light years apart
Egypt can't last a week in a flight with Iran.
Israel is NO match for Iran.
One on one , remove US.
Their biggest joker, Nuclear Weapons.
China and Russia both singularly and jointed warned the US that if Israel launches a nuclear weapon against Iran,that is the END of Israel.
It wasn't sugarcoated speech. Google it and find out

Melagros:
COMRADES, honestly, I don't know why Trump is still treating these guys with kids glove

Ogbeni,
America can't do jack in that Strait.
If Iran lay mines on that corridor, it will be impassible for years.
America doesn't have a sea mine removal vessel at the moment. Iran bombed the last one they had
For all their bravado, their madness ends at the Strait of Hormuz.
Do you know what a funnel trap means?
Numerous war ships passing thru a channel no more than 30km across? Its like shooting ducks in a barrel.

Watch how they'll sweep this under the carpet and close case on this matter.
Isn't it a crime to bear false witness even against yourself?
Has it come to this that falsifying information to the Public that should be a criminal offense is not treated as a joke, a past time?
The other one that almost framed the Daniel boy..the case just dissolved away into nothingness.
Zero accountability, zero punishment.

Tenses:
Who in his right senses would support iran?

Iran is a major financier of all terrorists organisations in the world and beyond.

Iran is not a country but a terrorist organisation.

And what do you think the CIA is?
Better remove the cotton wool between your ears and think.
The US has been the most war hungry, terrorist making and backing since time immemorial.
Who funded the Sandistas in Nicaragua?
Who created and funded the Mujahadeens in Afghanistan in the 70s to later become Al-Qaeda?
Who stole Mexican land under false flag operation?
Who funded civil unrest that toppled and killed Lumumba?
Who supported the Apartheid state of South Africa?
Can we include Korea, Vietnam, Similar into the mix?
Who is the backer or ISIS?
Who destroyed Libya and plunged Sub-saharan Africa into terrorism?
This same Iran, who do you think toppled the democratic government of Mossadeq in the 50s Just to install a puppet Shah that did their bidding like a willing slave?

The lot of you are just damn slow in the head

Emeskhalifa:
So now Russia can have a go on Ukraine?
China should take on Taiwan
NK should take on SK?

If these three major powers move at once,
The US can't do jack
By trying to protect them all at once , it will lose.
The Americans have clearly shown that Israel is the only ally they will truly enter the deep end for. The rest is cannon fodder
Trump obviously despises Zelensky and could hardly wait to throw Ukraine to the Ravenous Russians to back off aiding Iran.
Chinese occupation of Taiwan will eventually happen. The Taiwanese already seeing the handwriting on the wall ought to be wise. US can't save them when the Hans come marching. They ought to find a peaceful way to coexist, just like Hong Kong.
The Korean Peninsula will be unified soon enough, believe it or not, it's the US that keeps aggravating any peaceful resolution to justify it's continued presence in the region for almost 73 years.Any SK president that tries to become friendly with Pyongyang, that leader automatically becomes imbrioiled in wahala and deposed.

nairalanda1:
I don't support any politican, I never and never will vote for tinubu, yet I beleive subsidy is bad.

Plus in 2012, most of you who were supporting the other guys were in the subsidy is bad religion. How far?

Nigeria cannot afford a subsidy because we don't have a diversifed economy, a good enough revenue from tax, and a corruption free government, as well as an industrial sector. All these means that any time subsides are around, we always end up spending our reserve, our earned money, and even the money we take as loans on subsidy...and it means we take more debt, which makes things worse.

Let's even say we subsidise fuel to N600 per liter from the N1300 it is at now. At 60 million liters, it's going to cost..42 billion naira daily assuming gvernment spends 700 naira , which is the minnum they can spend for subsides. That amounts to...15 trillion yearly. And that is depdending on if the cost of crude does not go up from where it is at now. If it does, we could be spending 30 trillion or more eventually

Where is that money going to come from? There is no budgetfor subsidy, and right now, any benefits from oil price increase, the money will come, but not immediately, so tha tmeans that it would come from the budget...60 trillion. And to fill that hole we are going to borrow.

And guess what, smuggling is going to resume. And let us be real...there is no way that any government that subsidises fuel can stop smuggling. GHaddafi was using jet fighters to bomb smugglers in 2008. They just took cover and waited till the planes got back to base, and resumed trading (and weapons are finite). SO, guess what, our consumption would shoot up to 100 million barrels per day, which amounts to...21 trillion yearly. Again that depends on if crude oil prices don't rise....and our budget is 60 trillion naira.

Because the worst case scenairo is crude rising to 120 -130 dollars per barrel, and subsidy costs rising as well...meaning we could be essentually spending money like a river just to keep fuel at N600. We would think we are enjoying, but we are using tomorrow's money, infact our grandkids money to eat today.

And when we borrow, we worsen the already bad debt we have. When oil prices go down, that is when the real koko starts...no money to pay for anything. That's when the emperor has no clothes. That's when subsides would be sustained by borrowing, and salaries would get delayed.

And our reserve would get drained to the bones (that's why Jona wanted to remove subsides in 2011, because he was being warned about what would happen idf we did not...but nigerians said no. ).

That is why some of us are scared of subsidy. It has nothing to do with who is in government...and it annoys me when people sit down and call someone government supporter because they support subsidy removal. It has everything to do with the debt situation and not making it even worse, and keeping domestic refining profitable, so that we don';t go back to where we were after 1994, when government was taking NNPC's maintenance and upgrade costs to help pay for subsidy with predictable results.

You're tired of licking DISCOs boots.
You're now supporting Dangote?
Interesting.

Mynd44:
The only thing that can be done is for NNPC to drill new wells that will be exclusively for local consumption and sold at a fixed price. That way, the price will be stable and constant as we only pay refining charges to refineries

The problem with it is the cost.

You can't produce more than your quota pr day. OPEC commands.

The only winners are the
Military Industrial Complex.
They are the true winners of War.
Everyone else loses.
All this rubbish talk of US, Israel and Iran is nonsensical.
They all lost soldiers, civilians and infrastructure costing billions with little or nothing to show for it at the end of the day. So where's the win?
All those missile barrages, ICBM, drones , jets etc.. you think they'll magically reappear after destruction?
The MIC will replace them after collecting billions if not trillions of dollars.
They are the true winners in war.

nairalanda1:
Yeah it is hard. And yeah, I blame IBB for not removing fuel subsides in 1993. Instead government and even the then opposition went on propaganda campaign saying IMF dey oppress us.

By 1993, we were refining 400000 bpd in 4 refineries. At the time, the experts could see that we won't be able to refine crude with a subsidy in place. It HAD TO GO. But we refused to listen. The result was that by 1994, because it was becoming difficult to pay subsides and pay for production and maintenance costs at the same time, government chose to pay for subsides, and stopped paying for maintenance costs.

Results...no TAM for over 10 years. By the time GEJ tried to award contract for TAM In 2012, it was too late (Yeah, I heard GEJ awared the contract to a funny company, but even if he had awarded it to a INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED COMPANY with a TRACK RECORD OF 2000 YEARS xperience, you can't fix 10 or more years of neglect.

I mean, one American pastor once bought a new car and drove it sparingly, without maintenance, for several years. Even parked it for long periods of time. By the time he took the car for maintenance, after not driving it for over a year, it was scrap.

Same thing with our refineries...by 2012 they wer eproducing 91000 bpd...less than 10% of our refining needs....and we were importing most fuel and subsidsing it.

GEJ tried to remove subsidy, most nigerians, INCLUDING HIS SUPPORTERS...SAID NO.

BY 2019, refinereis were down to refining 6000 bpd. Yet, most nigerians refused to remove subsidy...By now, we had been using loans to pay for subsides for over ten years, and it got worse...to the point that by 2022, we were out of money, and debt was eating most of the government revenue, and Buhari was printing money to pay for subsides

So here we are. If you supported subsidy , then you are to blame. Forget politics, forget tinubu...who also supported subsidy until IMF essentially forced him to remove it...forget gej forget obi.

We could have had 4 working NNPC refineries, and a host of private refineries IF SUBSIDY HAD GONE IN 1993.

You like talking jargons. From electricity, you've jumped to Petrol.

SeverusSnape:
That's what matters, Let the terrorist Iranians keep hitting empty spaces and claiming victory...

You think Israel will come out publicly to admit getting hit?
Wake up.
They count their dead as wounded and force western press to record it as so.
Iran decimates an entire neighborhood, they'll show you one damaged building.
Iran will destroy a whole refinery, they'll report as insignificant damage.
By now,you ought to have wise up
I know it's hard to swallow, ISREAL isn't winning this war, at least in it's current form.

SeeWahala:
Hmm 🧐 so it's no longer about removing subsidy again? So it's now about "going from resource dependency to industrial dependency" . . . 🤔 So as the subsidy palava is now done and dusted it's for you to start pointing to other reasons why we Nigerians can not see any iota of improvement in our living conditions even after the removal of your 'devilish subsidy' for 3 good long years?

And speaking of wild imaginations . . . Aren't you the one telling Nigerians keep paying excessive taxes to a fraudulent and kleptomaniac government who embezzle everything from left to right in the hopes that one day Nigerians will get tired and revolt?

Mschew why do I even bother seff 😏

I was waiting for the weyrey to smuggle "cost reflective tariff" into the topic since that's all his rotten head is good for.

What concerns US with Nigerian internal party politics? These clowns keep embarrassing the nation everyday

Instead of ejecting the cancer from your countries, you're blaming the Doctor? As long as you have any infested wood in your house, you'll keek receiving lizards as visitors.
US attacks Iran from military bases built inside Gulf States, they launch their cowardly attacks from your territories whilst hiding back home in Continental US.
NOW that kind of war is over. You can't be waging war and keep your house clean.
Whoever has ears and brain, Iran has shown you how to do it . They attack you, destroy their businesses, assets and infrastructure anywhere in the world.
Asymmetrical Warfare

saintopus:
I think monthly payments for rent should be the norm. In the early 80s and 90s it used to be monthly I don't know how greed eventually took over and we started the annual payments for house rent

It was when economic migrants started flooding the Region and started quarrelling with landlords over the monthly rent, refusal to pack out when it's due stressed a lot of people
That's when landlords decided to adopt the Yearly rent model.

fuckingAyaya:
When I hear people say U.S ran from Talibans I just laughed, imagine US firing missiles aimlessly at Afghanistan who will be alive to tell the horrific experience? Take the war between Israel and Iran as a case study, Iranians are firing missiles aimlessly towards Israeli civilians while isreal will warn civilians to evacuate a specific target before firing missiles at iran. Just imagine Pakistan their Muslim counterparts killing 400+ Afghans just like that and they said US ran away because of Talibans lol

Lies from the depths of Hell. Which Israel warns it's victims before pouncing ? Is it in Gaza or Lebanon that one took place?
Y'all just talk with so much soap in your mouth.

The terrorist is dead.
To announce it would cause a catastrophic disaster in Israel.
So they hush up, posting deep fakes to muddy up the waters whilst waiting for US to stylishly end the war with Iran before they can declare his death.
Iran already knowing the murderer is dead won't give the US an easy way out cos that's what they so desperately want, to exit the quagmire they've found themselves.

jeff1993:
E no concern U.S and Israel

Any Ayatoyansh wey show face again na steady bombing like Afghanistan!!!

This is not a war.... It's a mop up ... By the time Iran are foolish enough to send a missile straight to U.S, dem go know the reason why U.F.Os decide to make contact with the U.S in the late 1950s instead of any other country.

Your thought process is disappointing.

mightyhaze:
How do you mean? Severally is an English word

Severally can't be used in that context.
Repeatedly is the proper word to use.

Yèyé UN controlled agency.
They'll report anything US tells them to say
Have they entered Israel to comment about their own humanitarian crisis? Of course they won't. ISREAL won't even allow them enter.
That's the selective news reporting we keep seeing and hearing. From this stupid one sided report now.. one would normally infer that Iran is devasted and Israel is in pristine condition.
Open your eyes people.

Hmmmmm2024:
The head of the snake is off...that's all that matters 😭😭😞😞😞😞..Iran is winning... please don't stop... if you stop, you are a coward.


You know that prayer when you are fighting someone that is stronger than you, even beating you at the moment, and you are seriously praying inside your mind for you to be separated...that's the feeling of Iran right now... every good infrastructure about the country has been destroyed 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The only thing left is for America and Israel to kill the civilians, but they can't do it because they also said they are trying to save the people, so how can you save them by killing them... that's the only excuse stopping Israel from deleting Iran from the world map.

If america and Israel start striking Iran the way Iran is throwing AIMLESSLY, the country would have been gone by now

This is a dumb statement and deep down inside you., you know it too.
US seriously underestimated the resolve of the Iranians. It shows by the way they blasted their air defense systems and military bases across the region
Missile for missile, Israel has nothing on Iran.
On equal footing , Iran will decimate Israel 💯 no caps. US is the life support keeping them alive.
The cost of the war is too much, over $7 billion dollars less than 5 days? Where isreal wan see that kind warchest if not for US.
ISREAL can't fire anything more than what it's currently firing and Iran is cleaning up Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa.
The only thing left for them to do is drop nuclear weapons which I'm sure they can't be that stupid. It will automatically trigger a response so fast, most of the Middle East including Israel would be turned to radioactive rubble.

The husband was never in the picture from the beginning.
He had no part to play in this drama.
Do you want to blame him for their immigration troubles?
Cos that's the next thing to do.
Look for whom to place blame.

mrvitalis:
Israel could have leveled all cities in Iran if they wanted to but they have specifically targeted leadership who are responsible for this criminal act

So Iran didn't break international law by arming militants?

Iran didn't break international law by making it a state policy to wipe Israel of the world map?

Have Israel attacked anyone in the middle East unprovoked? , have Israel ever taken a land from people who haven't attacked them first?

Israeli have given up Jordan ro Arabs, given up west Bank, Gaza, parts of Syria agreed on a two state solution

Yet it's Hamas and their sponsor Iran that doesn't want peace

Israel is too soft on this people... When we get Biafra we would show Israel how to deal with Islamic expansionists

Your last statement exposes the state of mind you're in.
Gosh I can feel the bile rising from your mouth.
Israel can't do more than what's it's doing now. She's fast spent. She can only attack Gaza.
Any attack from that axis is from the US.
I know it's difficult to accept the fact Iran is beating and destroying Israel right before your very eyes..
You and your non-existent Biafra can't do anything about it 😅🤣😄
