Just as we know nine years later that Tinubu was super dumb to package his 2011 CPC expired candidate as APC messiah of change four years later. Who does not know that they meant shege to develop extreme poverty in our country

In 9 month time, we will know

waveman2:
Before it was parallel market dollar rate chasing the official market dollar

A lot of you wailers are so "slow"
What's the price of Aboki and official price in April 2023?

Oghene86:
It's laughable, because how would they deal with them

We will know in 9 month time

Anyiamaka:
Anyone who thinks this will impact on exchange rate is intentionally dumb.

There is no where in the world that it is compulsory for people to save their money in the bank.

This senseless decision is not in conformity with any known economic theory anywhere in the world.

Economic theories that worked elsewhere mostly fail in Nigeria.

This is the only place producing goods and services locally is more expensive than importing such goods, services abroad.

How did Nigeria get into the hands of these gangsters that are bent on destroying on country?

the US dollar is not Nigeria currency. I will suggest a heavy charge on every dollar deposited after the 9 month grace.

Democracy is a game of numbers and unity

And the South can never be united

That's why Kano will be destroying bottles of alcohol but will still be enjoying VAT from it form the South (the illiterates)

The Military created more states in the North, they have more lawmakers in the Senate and House of Rep. They have the population advantage

richiemcgold:
It should not be totally withdrawn, there's room to refix the contending parts of the bill. Every region stands to gain a lot from tax reform bills. It is time for the federal lawmakers to use their brains if they have any.

I'm shock the bill is going to be withdrawn. This country is not showing signs is ready to take a great leap.

I see nothing wrong with the bill at all. It can be worked on at the national assembly by the lawmakers instead of totally withdrawing the bill.

WizardOfNG:
It is not easy to deal with in reality in so far as prices are not fixed or regulated. You can sell Milo in your supermarket for 2k and I can sell in mine for 3k.

I have no issue with how they set their price but the unfair tactics they are using like this

According to Bello, large players in the poultry industry have created an environment where smaller farmers are pressured to follow inflated pricing strategies. “The small poultry owners used to sell a day-old chick for between N480 and N590 and still made a profit,” Bello stated. "But with two large players entering the market, they were soon in a position to control 80 to 90 percent of the poultry market in the city."

These large players allegedly hijacked the local poultry farmers' association, raising the price of a day-old chick to N1,350, counteracting economic principles that suggest increased production should reduce prices. Government support has been ongoing, including the provision of broilers, feeds, and financial aid through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security. However, despite these interventions, poultry prices continue to climb. For instance, the cost of starter mash has jumped from N11,000 in October 2023 to N23,500 by October 2024.

Bello also highlighted pricing manipulation within the packaging industry. “The cartel in the packaging sector consists of five major players who control prices in a mafia-like fashion. If you attempt to check the price with another supplier, the first seller would have already informed the next to quote the same price,” Bello said.

Listening to the gov of akwa ibom umo eno talking about his admiration of TINUBU and how his reforms transformed Lagos state.

Truth is most of these folks don't know LAGOS, they come in to Lagos and only see the high end parts of lekki,vi,ikoyi,mayb Ikeja

Tinubu opened up Lekki. The develop part of Lekki back then is not up to 10% of present day Lekki.

The Lekki free trade zone that was created by Tinubu, likely have more industries than each state in the south east. The Atlantic ocean that was spilling into VI for years, who stopped the mess by creating Eko Atlantic City? Tinubu and the APC is doing a good job in Lagos, more still needs to be done sha.

babasolution:

Go anywhere apart from those places you'll be greeted with huge disappointment.

Ikorodu is more develop than all the state capitals in the south east.

helinues:
Did you know about the cartels in poultry business before?

I'm not working at FCCPC

Instead of you to deal with them for breaking Nigerian law, you're telling us stories

Dumb comment

CodeTemplarr:
yes, but anything that thtreatens the robbery sructure that favours the north is frowned at by them. They will ratherthings go back to normal(higher crude prices and debt cancellation) so they can eat fromm the other side more. Thats why they cant risk a tax reform that cannunsettle that culturr of indolence killing production.

If this bill goes through, productive states like Lagos state will get more, what unproductive states like Katsina will get will fall, while what states like Anambra get will increase.

CodeTemplarr:
I disagree. Consumption is not a form of value addition. The value added to raw inputs are services rendered to the final consumer.
By asking that where goods are consumed be used to guage VAT accruing to states, they have committed a grave error because they reject consumption of alcojol and pork.
They are also not considering the exta efforts of the states where the goods are produced. Efforts like security and good business environment which cost money to maintain. A Lagos state that employs extra hands for security and orderliness(LASTMA and KAI) should be compensated for that effort. The only fair way to compensate such states is by giving more back to them for being the host to more industries and businesses. Imagine a Warri and Delta state that has chased out so many top oil companies fighting with another friendlier state putting in extra efforts to keep actiivities of oil companies going. At some point the friendlier state to oil companies may lost them entirely and that will likely inbolve that investor leaving Nigeria.

It's going to be a win win situation for everybody if this new bill is passed

Ogun: 31.95%

Anambra: 76.94%

Enugu: 70.68%

Abia: 66.78%

So it was even in 1954 the federal territory of Lagos became fully part of Nigeria

justtoodark:
if it was something against nigeria they would be plenty on this thread by now....

The south east and south south is one people don't like this kind of thread

gidggidy

The concern of the Northern governors is valid, but if they went through the bill before complaining, they would have seen the bill will right the wrong.

I doubt the Northern governors even took a look at the bill before rejecting it. We can't continue like this in Nigeria

Abagworo:
You don't know me man. I don't move woth the crowd but rather truth and common sense. Akwaibom problem is too much and the money would have helped some homes and businesses. I wasn't in support of the 21 storey building either cause I knew from onset it was a white elephant project.

The people of Akwa Ibom state are not complaining, face your state. Anambra state problem was too much when Obi fixed Anambra state money at fidelity bank while owing civil servants salaries

babasolution:
The money for this project can be used to pay minimum wage of 100k

Otti is not building this kind of project, let him pay 100k as minimum wage

Why is it that Nigerian elites can not live without one appointment or patronage of the Nigerian state.

They will do anything to live off the state resources, yet people will continue telling poor people that government can't feed them.

People accuse the masses of wanting free things from the government but these same elites never miss the chance to enjoy free things from the government.

They will tell poor people to go hustle n fend for themselves but these elites never fend for themselves ,majority of them depend on the government in one from or the other some from even childhood.

People like buhari have survived on government money from teenage age.

Mele kyari as worked for nnpc all his life,yet can't deliver shit.
Akpabio from governor,to minister,to senator yet no deliverables.so many of them.
Anime dabiri from nta to house of reps to nidcom etc ,why can't they leave the government pot.

bianca can't resist not to go back to government feeding bottle.

they are so many,majority of the elites in nigeria have been on government sustenance,even many business elites,why can't they leave the government feeding bottle?

many people even on this platform will tell the masses to stop complaining that government will not put food on their table.

But government always put food on the table of the elites.

It's not Bianca fault, I doubt she even lobbied to become a minister in this administration.

Passionnn:
Except your business is a side hustle, it's best you run it yourself. In these Y! Boys era, every one is a potential maga for the boys.
You are even lucky this one was collecting it but by bit.
One man lost about 1.6 million naira to his pos operator. The owner, a building contractor was transfered 1 million naira by his client to purchase building materials. When he got to his kiosk later that evening the boy was not there. The boy left the POS machine on the desk. While going thru, he discovered that all the money was gone! Zero account balance. 1.6 million. All gone. All attempt to trace the criminal has been futile.
This happened about 3 months ago.
I guess the best option for you is to fire the petty thief. Get a girl to work for you. Anyone you wish to employ must present a guarantor.

Girls are also brutal, he should just create the time to always monitor the business and anybody he employ must present a guarantor.

Just less than 7 days o.....
.
I'm going to compile hard evidence against him today....I will act normal like nothing happened
.
Then I will get him arrested.

Nice one and don't forget to always create the time to monitor the business, no matter how busy you are.

PeterObi4Presid:
Business is really hard in Nigeria if you are not there 247,
We are too wicked, greedy and dishonest.

Less than a week, I employed this boy o, to manage my gas filling retail business and POS.
He displayed passion, initiative and experience about the gas filling business and handling of POS....so I just took the chance, we also speak same language. I've been acting nice and all but I think I now know why most Nigerian bosses are mean to their workers by default
.
Now from first cylinder we couldn't account for 10kg
Second cylinder was started today by him......when I told him to calculate everything sold from first cylinder based on daily record book ....it felt short of 10kg
.
From the sales from second cylinder that started today, The account book does not tally with what is remitted through ATM/POS mode of payment .....I dint know this until I checked my Moniepoint acct as I got home now cos my phone was dead before I went to the shop this evening
.
Even the POS part of the business does not tally with the cash I gave him this morning for people who need cash withdrawal
.
I'm boiling right now realizing the boy had lied to me when balancing the account this night using the record book, only to get home and power my phone to see cash fell short of 23k in my monie point acct linked to the POS
.
.
How do you handle boys who think they are smarter than you because theyve been in the business before?
.
And what are your experiences with dishonest workers in your business , especially this gas retail business or POS business
.
Modoified: how do I handle this case now....cos my mind is just boiling ....how can a new business fall short of 38k in less than 7 days...

.

Get him arrested immediately, he must return all your money, after you get back your money, sack him. Some Nigerians are extremely greedy, they don't mind running down people's business.

Sack him and find someone else, and try to always create time to monitor the business.

Abagworo:
That's a deceitful statement by Sanwo Olu that "value of land in Lagos is better than Akwaibom". So all the Governors should leave their State and start investing in Lagos because property is more valuable there. In fact Lagos is not even valuable so they should move it to Capetown, Dubai, New York, Tokyo or London.

The 21 storey building built by Udom Emmanuel is still empty after 4 years.

if the building was built in Lagos, the Akwa Ibom state government will be earning massively from it per annum by now


If he's planning to build the storey building in unviable Onitsha, Akwa or Enugu, you would have been hailing him.
