Too many Obas who do not do a lot of their people. Every kilometer of land has a king, every area has an Oba or Oni. How many Kings do we need self? A king that help his consistuent with good schools, businesses , hospital and jobs is a King indeed and will get the proper respect deserved

Greenland matta with Trump no cosign Africa at all

God bless Lagos, God bless Nigeria

I can help, let me hold your money. No money, no love

Whether you agree or you disagree with how Lagos State Government demolish those homes, one thing you can agree is that many are homeless now. It is extremely difficult for government to provide accomdation whether they plan to or not. Lagos is already crowded as it is and the issue of buying land is another issue. While rent has skyrocked, wages has not been upto par. Thank God , Lagos has not faced a Tsunsami or a major flooding. Water no get enemy as Fela used to sing until the day water reclaim the land.
Solutions are
1. Relocate from Lagos State even though it will be difficulty for many. Many are not Nigerians
2. FG can Rebuild Makoko with standardized building which will require a lot of revenues, planning, zoning and so on

3. The victims can rebuild Makoko and face another round of demolition from Lagos State.

May God help the homeless , God bless Lagos State.

I did and it was not a smart move

Should Tax be treated as equality or equity?

Equity is the best, so yes Tax should be treated as equity.

Your real reason for hating on Trump and his associates is because Trump attacked Isleamic terorists in sokoto.

Say the truth And stop pretending

You claim Isleamic terorists are not Meuslims but you atak and haite trump for ataking Isleamic terorists!

How deceptive and dishonest can a religion be!

Never did. I never even wrote or even thought so. Stop assuming,

Elon Musk from South Africa - enough said. A white man who made money from South Africa.

There are many people who earn less than N100000 a month and there are many people who make above 50000 naira monthly. The government has no business taxing salaried workers or those who earn less than N100000 monthly, Taxes will make them poorer. A reasonable government should first assess the standard of living e.g cost of food, house rent, transport fare and adjust the current tax bracket. For example cost of living is slighty lower in Kaduna compare to Lagos. Nigeria is not USA ,Uk or Europe.
Taxes are good if it is use to provide pension for retirees, build road, schools, provide lights and so on.
Then there should a regulatory body who monitor how the taxes are collected and spend so there is no room for corruption.
A more reasonable tax bracket should look
1 MILLION NAIRA to 3..4million nairaYEARLY - no taxes
3.5 million naira to 5.49 million naira yearly-5%
5.5 million naira to 7.4 million naira yearly- 10 %
7.5 million naira to 10.4 million naira yearly- 15%
10.5 million naira to 14.9million naira yearly-20 %
15 million naira to 19.9 million naira yearly-25%
20 million naira to 29.9 million naira yearly- 30%
30 million naira to infinity yearly- 35%

If many people cannot earn 150000 naira monthly, the government has no business putting taxes on them. Taxes will make them poorer. The only people who need to pay tax are those who make more than N1 million monthly. A reasonable government should first assess the standard of living e.g cost of food, house rent, transport fare before making a generalized tax bracket. Nigeria is not USA ,Uk or Europe.

Too much billings without a baddie giving nothing back is a scam. If she cannot buy something meaningful or cook for you or do something for you, you are on your own. Sometimes it is not about sex but about giving . A baddie can be poor and still give if she like you. I tell my young bros when a baddie really like you, she will not see you as an ATM but make every effort to give you something . She could cook you a food that you like, buy you a shoe or paying your phone recharge so you can talk to her. Sometimes she might even have nothing and because she like u, she will not bill unneccessary. She might even dislike why you are giving her money all the time and advise you that you should that money to buy land

So if you are spending on her all the time, and she barely or once in a while give very little back, you are on your own

Personally i do not see any wrong with any Nigeria women who is dating oyinbo as long he is good to you by his actions, not by mouth only. What i mean actions, it is not buying gifts, it is not taking you to nice places nor buying this or that , or giving money. I mean he does not look at you like he is superior or he see you as a sex fetish or a slave Or he buy this but make very disrespectful comments about you, your family and so on. He can buy this or that and take you to this or that but still see you as subhuman. As long you are both happy and there is love, respect and understanding. Devil can be come in any race .it could be white, arab , and so on. So shine your eyes and look at his character or else na u go cry premium tears

None of these your imagination is going to come to reality.

How far

First Tinubu reforms on taxes is a good concept if unemployment is low and jobs are paying well. If many people cannot earn 150000 naira monthly, the government has no business putting taxes on them. Taxes will make them poorer. The only people who need to pay tax are those who make more than N1 million monthly. A reasonable government should first assess the standard of living e.g cost of food, house rent, transport fare before making a generalized tax bracket. Nigeria is not USA ,Uk or Europe.
Taxes are good if it is use to provide pension for retirees, build road, schools, provide lights and so on.

Abegiii.. fight and develop HBP to die abi?
Men, if your wife deny you access to your child/ children WALK AWAY and IMPROVE your life. Let the children grow up to see a successful and well established father. Noone ignore a relevant object.

You can still let your child know you . I know of one where his baby mama denied one of my guys yet but his daughter kept disturbing his baby mama that she wants to see her dad. Even the stubborn baby mama was forced to let his daughter see him. Your children will always remember you if you are a good dad. So please do not disappear completely. By the way, it is way better to develop high blood pressure for the sake of your children than to completely disappear.

Both men and women should be conscious while making up

Anything sex material is important to avoid unwanted pregnancies

Thank you, the children are the one who suffer the most.

Whether it was a one night stand or long term relationship, once the child is your, it is your responsibilities. Do not run away and even you doubt it is yours, thank God there is DNA to confirm, the child is your responsibility. Even if baby mama is an olosho for area, once it is your child, you are responsible. Whether condom burst or baddie refuse to take birth control, once the child is born. It is your responsibility. Even if baby mama na witch or Jezebel or druggie or wayward or strange, your child is still your responsibility. Too many men just having children without even owning up to responsibility.
Whether you hate your babymama because she is this or that, your child is still your responsibility
Stop running away and be involved in your child.

We all built Lagos for 70 years and upi said you don't know why it's on everyone's mind? U well so ?

Is your Yoruba sister not the senator for Abuja?

Don't you see the hypocrisy?

Whether Lagos was bombed by the British In the I850s or was a former capital during until 1990 or 1992 . It was the adminstrative setting of the British until Nigeria became independent. Lagos was already a happening place even before independence day.
At least non Yoruba (Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour) had to run and were supported by Yorubas. Tribalist people will never give a non native a chance to even enter a ballot box. How many non natives are even given a chance to run as a governor in your home State or talkless to get supported by the native of your state? A governor is way powerful than a senator

mrvitalis:
Respect culture in Lagos that we all built? See the only luck you guys have is this

That Igbos are not politically inclined as Hausa Fulani ... If Hausa Fulani had Igbo population in Lagos you won't even have mouth

You guys wanted One Nigeria and one Nation what culture are you talking about then?

You agree one Nigeria but didn't know it would kill your culture?

Lagos is not the only state , do not understand why Lagos is always on people mind. Abuja is the capital I no hear noise about Abuja.At least a non Yoruba Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour was on the ballot box on last Governor election. How many non native are on ballot box at your home state to run as a governor ?
Fun facts: many Yorubas voted and supported for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and before you start saying Poltical thuggery stole votes Political thuggery happen in other States . There have been other tribes as miltary governor in Lagos State if History is right.

mrvitalis:
There are more Igbos in North than South West... From. Kaduna to Zaria to Kano to brono to jos to taraba to sokoto to Maiduguri then to Abuja to makurdi

This is exactly why we say you are Tribalistic you think what you are doing is special

Maybe you guys need to travel more

40% minimum of northern hospitals nurses, doctors pharmaceutical people are Igbos
24% minimum of northern school teachers are Igbos

You guys are too Tribalistic

What is this one saying ? I never even mentioned a certain tribe. Anyone is free to come to Yoruba land as long you respect the culture and tradition of Yorubas. Anyone who do good for any Yoruba community will always welcome by Yorubas. Build 1000 hospitals , create millions jobs , build 600 factories in Southwest. For example, a Yoruba man cannot go to Kano and starting saying He is Oba of Kano because He is Nigerian first , na troblue he dey find. So He must respect the tradition of the Hausa people or other tribes in Kano there or else He is just looking for troblue.

Mbanda:
You and I know you are lying the video evidences are there for everyone to see.

Newsflash, some yoruba houses have been demolished in Lagos for your information. No one is picking any tribes, it is quite unfortunate that people are losing their home

AAEEI:
Youruba is easily the most bigoted and tribalistic in Nigeria. The prevention of non Yoruba voters in Lagos in 2023 is a tiny example of that.

So the Yoruba voters that voted for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour are tribalistic also Abi since we can use your logic. Poltical thuggery happens everywhere in many States in Nigeria. At least a non yoruba was on a ballot box, can that happen in your home state? It can happen anywhere even in your home State. Na naija we dey,

Goodmarlian:
We come because Nigerians have the right to live anywhere

No one is saying Nigeria cannot live anywhere but
Then why the southwest only, You can do build in the North, SouthEast, Middle Belt, FCT

Mbanda:
The bolded is a lie. If really yorobah land is home to millions of Nigeria, stopping people from voting the candidate of their choice (like what we saw during the 2023 elections) wouldn't have happened.

People's properties and business areas are being demolished in yorobah land out of h@te and tribal sentiment, is it supposed to be so in a place you said is home for all?

Oga stop lying abeg.

What is this one saying, Lagos State governor are demolishing house prone to flooding and other areas that are not by approved government regardless of tribes. No one is picking a certain tribe and saying let bulldozer this Ijaw man house in Lagos.

Goodmarlian:
It has being like that since the colonial days as the southwest was the seat of the colonial government not like yorubas invited anyone.

Then they should have left when British left abi if you want to use that Logic. No one is forcing anyone to come. I don hear Ibadan get brown roof yet other tribes come here and do business. They say Lagos dey smell, yet they come and do business. They say Abeokuta is boring, yet they come and do business

If Yoruba are tribialist, then why many tribes building houses in Ibadan, and other parts in Ogun, Osun and do businesses successfully . Everyone like to use Lagos as an example but forget in many part of yoruba areas, many tribes come and do businesses here in Yoruba area with little or no disturbance. The problem is things that will not fly in other tribal region happens here in Yoruba. It is when the guests start acting like they are host, problems is bound to happen.
Yoruba are diplomatic and will do what favour them
If you do not like Yoruba, kuku say so and be a tribalist.

Their parents do very wicked things to other people even though they were very good to their children.e.g BTK the serial killer was a very good dad to his daughter but his daughter said she is cut off from him completely. Not everyone want to have a dad who name is Adolf Hilter or notorious dad or mum. While some of their children embrace their notorious parents , some reject it.

The man or woman is locked up in prison for a very long time for a crime and will probably get out in 30 years time . Such adult are already embarassed to call their parents because of their crimes or do not have the freedom to do so. Some feel it is better not to let their parents know so they do not die from heartbreak

Parents living a very wayward life or very toxic and sometimes embarassing lifestyle. E.g parents scamming their children for money or ritual or naracisstic parents who refuses to admit when there are wrong.

Children living the LGBTQ life overseas and their parents has vowed to disown them if he or she is gay or a lesbian. So they accept the warning and never call their parents.

Traumatic childhood or even adulthood experience with parents e.g Dad was an serial domestic abuser of mum

Homelessness overseas or suffering from severdepression or addiction to cocaine , heroin, meth . Such adults

Avoid sugar. Alcohol, porn. Do Keagel exercise

He is only good because hs manages top footballer . If you coach Messi, Deburyne, Inestia, Xavi. You too go win trophies.

Brendaniel:
That's the mistake you are making, the federal government is not sluggish, the federal government is complicit, they are in it with the killers, it is an ideology that has gotten political support from the federal government, arming them may work temporarily but may not stop it because it is an ideological killing, it has been passed on from generations, the question you should be asking is why has it increased this period?

True, well something has to be done. Hopefully insecurity ends soon or USA might strike if the killings do not stop

Brendaniel:
Because they don't have people with such ideologies living in their country and even they have, the number is too small to start such problem, what you are against is more of an ideology and not just crime only...

Arming the entire citizens may lead to anarchy...

Arming citizen in areas affected by insecurity only will not lead to anarchy instead they will know how to defend themselves against Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen , Bandits and any terrorists. The current system is not working, and instead of them waiting for a sluggish Federal Government, let them arm themselves , work with the police or army officer and learn to defend themselves
