Berliner1:If you pay for something even if it's one Euro, you cannot qualify it as free, because you are paying for it. There are perks you get from different states, but you have to differentiate from state to state. When I replied you, I don't think I spoke about private Universities. I said Education is state affair, and you should be specific and not generalize. BTW, how many private universities do you have in Germany? There are not many, so please learn to keep arguments in the proper perspective. Again, saying it's only B-W that collects fees shows you are not conversant with the situation. Bavaria does collect fees too, even if the fees you pay are not as expensive as what you pay in the UK. You still have to calculate it as part of your cost to arrive at the proper cost of living. I do not know how you young people argue. First and foremost, tribalism and racism are two different things. Secondly, online rants, and physical attacks are not the same either. How many of those ipod people or Yoruba e-warriors have you heard are going after each other on the streets of Nigerian towns? And if you had understood my post very well, you wouldn't come with such ridiculous counter argument. I remember to clearly have said Eastern Germany is particularly worse. And the most states in the East are poorer than the west, and they have a lot of these Nazis all around towns, and it is much dangerous to go out alone again. This was something that happened 20+ years ago, and the government did a lot to suppress it, and in the wake of the plenty asylum seekers have resurfaced again. I lived 19 years there, and it was the most enjoyable time. But I was aware of the dangers. I was aware of where to go, where not to go, and I avoided going to some areas in the dark alone at night. Still, you cannot totally avoid these people. And comparing Nairaland ipod and e-warrior rants to racism, and saying there's racism everywhere tells me you are not conversant with the danger of Nazism. Anti foreigners sentiment is very high in today's Germany, and people need to know it. If you want to go to school in Germany, avoid states in the East (Saxony, Mecklenburg-Pomerania, Brandenburg, Saxony- Anhalt and to some extent Thuringia) even though it is cheaper there, because the chance that some lunatics can physically attack and kill you, because of your skin colour IS REAL. Besides, you may not find a semester job if you stay in the east. |
Berliner1:Please stop misleading people about Semesterticket being free. You get to pay for it, but it is subsidized. And besides, tuition is not free in all Universities. You have to be specific in which State you live, because you cannot generalize the conditions in your state to other states. Education is state and not federal government affair in Germany. The UK is at least ca 500 kilometres away from Germany at their closest point, and you have to cross either France, Belgium or the Netherlands, and of course the sea to get to the UK from the Germany. If you are not an EU/EEA citizen, you need a visa to enter the UK even though you have a Schengen visa. Public transport Infrastructures are generally better in Germany than the UK. Germany is richer than the UK, and so Life tends to be better on average in Germany. However, you must not forget that in Germany, the chance to be exposed to racial hate is much higher than in the UK. East Germany is particularly worse. Even though the government of Angela Merkel is friendly to immigrants', this doesn't mean German people like the foreigners much. I lived in Germany for more than 19 years. By the way, it's "Willkommen in Deutschland". I know that Deutsche Grammatik can cause a lot of "headaches;-). |
You are trying to be smarter than you actually are by telling me that I agreed with you when my words absolutely negate your assertion. You are also trying to act smart by saying the law of a nation are quite complex and cannot be contained in one single document. Who argued with you that the laws are contained in one document? Please go ahead and read what NIPOST is trying to do. They are not trying to make clarification, but rather to bring confusion and usurp the power of the FIRS: While FIRS said that collection of stamp duties is part of its statutory function, NIPOST stoutly disagreed. The bill seeks the amendment of Section 2 of the principal Act by changing the definition of “[color=#9900ff]Stamp[/color]” and addition of the definition of words “[color=#9900ff]Proceeds[/color]” and “[color=#9900ff]Stamping Protocol[/color]”. The bill also seeks the amendment of Section 5 of the principal Act by substituting the word “may” for “shall” in Section 5(2) to read “Where the duty may be denoted by [color=#99dd00]adhesive stamp[/color], [color=#99dd00]Postage Stamps[/color] shall be used for the purpose.” It further seeks amendment of Section 89 of the principal Act in sub 2 to change “may” to “shall” to read “For the purposes of the Act, all income from denotation of receipt, document or instrument with postage stamp shall be known as [color=#cc0000]Stamp Proceeds[/color].” For your perusal, you can check out the Stamp Duty Act: http://lawsofnigeria.placng.org/laws/S8.pdf And the NIGERIAN POSTAL SERVICE ACT: http://lawsofnigeria.placng.org/print.php?sn=383 And tell me where the FIRS has encroached the function of NIPOST. NIPOST is trying to change these: “[color=#9900ff]"stamp" means a stamp impressed by means of a die as an adhesive stamp for denoting any duty or fee;[/color]". FYI: Duty Stamps can include also adhesive stamps and not just the "Rubber Stamping". Why ist NIPOST trying to say adhesive stamps are postage stamps?: [color=#99dd00](2) Where the duty may be denoted by adhesive stamps, postage stamps may, subject to the provisions of any Act or regulation, be used for the purpose. [/color] What does the sub section has to do with postage stamp? [color=#cc0000](2) The duty upon a receipt may be denoted by an adhesive stamp which is to be cancelled by the person by whom the receipt is given before he delivers it out of his hands. [/color] Why is NIPOST trying to steal Tax Money that is not due it, by inserting ambiguity into a law that is hitherto very unambiguous? And that the idiots at the House actually allowed this is a testament that they are either a group of dunces or may have been influenced by the NIPOST. And regarding being myopic, if you read and comprehend the utterances of the NIPOST guy, you would know that the only person being myopic is you. If he wants to be able to sell digital stamps, he should apply to change the NIPOST act accordingly instead of adding a back door to the hitherto very clear act on Stamp duty so that they can be able to claim money not due them. linearity: |
linearity:[color=maroon] I totally and completely disagree with you. Perhaps you should read the submission of both parties attentively... For instance, the NIPOST man said: “We are seeking the amendment of the Act to include sale of postage stamp. We are not collecting tax. It is in the interest of Nigeria to draw a line between duty and stamp. We want to sell our stamp.” Why do you want to include the sale of POSTAGE STAMP in an Act that is specifically dealing with STAMP DUTY? Do you think the law maker did not do their due diligence to define what the law is about and what is stamp duty? Furthermore, when you said FIRS is trying to usurp NIPOST statutory right, do you want to tell that the FIRS has been trying to collect postage stamp charges? When you post letter, do you pay NIPOST or FIRS? There is a law regulating the establishment of NIPOST and their function. NIPOST should try to change that to reflect the reality of being able to sale online postage stamps. Please try to understand the matter before you accuse someone of not reading in the future. Thanks [/color] |
Stamp duty is a form of tax levied on some instruments especially during the sale of a house for the registration of change of ownership. You also pay stamp duty on your debit card. Stamp duty has absolutely nothing to do with POSTAGE STAMP which is an instrument to denote the the payment of service charge you pay for availing yourself of NIPOST's Services e.g. sending a letter. Even though both words have STAMP as constituent part, they simply do not mean the same thing. Stamp duty is a tax which is always collected by the REVENUE while postage stamp charges are paid for postage services [NIPOST], and may also be taxed. NIPOST IS TRYING TO BE A ROGUE. They want to usurp the statutory right of FIRS. linearity: vertueptime: Abbeyme: Alabamagnate: dumo1: Keneking: |
LesbianBoy: Even GEJ would be wrong, because from the three names, the one that really played a big role in Africa was Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola. He impacted a lot of people across the the continent when he was alive. |
bigerboy200:Everywhere you go, the incompetent buffoons are there. This is how the useless First Bank of Nigeria has blocked my First Diasporan account, because according to them there's no telephone number associated to the account. |
lordpherow98:[color=navy] Bi a ba so oko si oja, ara ile eni ni ng ba. When you live in a glass house, you don't throw stones around. If they sell her children as "black" slaves in Libya, it would certainly also have repercussions on you as a "black" man/woman. Your prayers should rather be that she gets her deserved punishment. That her children do not take after her. And that her victims, particularly this traumatized girl recovers from all the traumas and never become like this 'Madame' if she happens to get to similar position in the future. [/color] |
ijustdey:[color=navy] When I read this news, the only thing I can deduce is that we can build the most sophisticated hospital in the world, but the misery would continue, because a lot of our health workers (in fact too many Nigerian workers) are incompetent buffoons. How can someone die from gun shot to the leg if the health workers know what they are doing? [/color] |
dieBYfire:[color=#0067ef] Orisirisi jagbajantis. Atiku whose state has some of the worst roads in Nigeria? Maybe it's time to build a squad of sharp shooters to take down all these useless good for nothing politicians. None of the people parading themselves right now including the incumbent have any quality of a visionary leadership. Nigeria is a lost case. Imagine 18 years of democracy and there's rarely a tangible reforms you can point to. Every government agencies is corrupt, but instead of making reforms and enacting enabling laws, we shout and then forget it. Nigeria is full of stupid people who only think of today, and never about tomorrow, or the day after. Repeating same rubbish over and over again and hoping that things would change for the better is a grand illusion. Atiku ko, atike ni. He and Buhari should go and drink Gamalin20. [/color] |
RIPEnglish:[color=#0011EF]Ha, so you were still aliving. I have searchet you, not founded you, becos I wanted Mr. English to be deading. Now English can dead again. Well cum back.[/color] |
Bullhari007:AFONJA and wickedness abi? You asked your juju, and it confirmed to you that the perpetrators of the evil acts are AFONJAS right? Well, if the case is properly investigated, I won't be surprised if the perpetrators turn out to be people from your part of the country. Someone who lives in a glass house should really be wary of throwing STONES. |

It's a lie, a big fat one for that matter. How can his forefathers manage to impregnate his foremothers in Africa if they were carted away? The overwhelming majority of the offspring of those carted away are still living in the respective territories their forbear were taken to. Only a few made it back to Nigeria, and I do not believe the person you quoted has any link with them. ivolt: |

Basic123: My pican, even though I no boast anywhere in my writing say me I dey more exposed, I remain with my word say the boy is a very LOCAL champion. If he enter real theatre him go bow. Nigeria universities wey be say professors na demigods, and dem no fit tolerate critic, na dat one be universities? Abeg go laugh for somewhere else jere. |
Who tell you say na Benin get Aiyelala? Aiyelala na Ilajẹ thing, and she no dey kill innocent people, but bad people. But sometimes when the sinners are suffering, some innocent people dey join suffer. As him dey for bible na so him dey for ibilẹ. TeGaTeGa1: |

Basic123:Of course you would FEEL superior, because of the wrong sense superiority. I don't blame you, if you have the necessary exposure you will feel humbled. That nonsensical fake feel of importance that has kept the countries centuries behind needs to be done away with. |

Nigeria is currently going through hardship like we had in the mid to late 80ies and 90ies, but I have not seen any innovation made in Nigeria except hatred, blame game and more disunity. Where do you get that phrase from? Necessity may be the mother of invention, but hardship can barely bring forth innovation. A hungry man is an angry man, and an angry man can barely innovate. Anger is a burden on the brain. It shut it down for any positive thought. 9jakohai: |
Why would he wanna do that? Nigeria should pass through them when they are already adult? Does he want to destroy the children's life before it starts? He wants to send them to the low standard universities when they have opportunities to attend better tertiary institutions, what loving parent does such? I would understands if he wanted to send them to secondary school, but university is a no no. The best he should try to do is get them enrolled over there, and try to make them do student exchange programmes with participating Nigerian schools instead of sending them down outrightly to poorly funded Nigerian schools infested with cultism and randy lecturers. If he wants a better life for his children, student exchange is the better program. He should also bear in mind that if the children are going to work abroad, they may still have to do additional programs to have their Nigerian degrees acceptable for potential employees abroad. Nigerian universities where lecturers consider themselves as god, where they treat grown up people like kids? Ọlọrun ma ma jẹki oju mi ribi kẹ. Flashmove: |
Why do a lot of you like to lie to yourselves? Did you know how long Evans has been in Business? I bet it was not APC that was at the helms of affair when Chukwudubem or whatever his name is was collecting handsome ransomes. I remember that even a relative of the coordinating minister then was kidnapped. A lot of the young peepz of today have a very short and poor memory or like to blend out what does not suit them to castigate their opponent. This your blatant lie is comparable to APC lying to themselves that PDP did nothing positive in the entire 16 years they were in power. CollinsWeGlobe: |
Really? Are you very very sure? Do you have examples where a politician resigned, because of the misconduct of his SHAGEES? Even Clinton who was given a mouth action in the oval office did not resign. You'd better talked about what you know. Timinho23: |
These rogues will never stop to embarass themselves. Why wouldn't the poor quality Nigerian passport cost 100 Dollars to produce, when there is absolutely no transparency in the award of contracts? I have seen better quality passports that cost way less than the Nigerian passport, and it is not because the government in those countries are subsidising their citizens. When shall we start to reason like normal humans that have the wellbeing and progress of all in their heart? |
