LordReed:
I don't rate stories to be superior or inferior. I categorise then based on what type of story they are telling. If for example it's a funny story, then it would be by which I find funnier. It doesn't mean it is a superior story because I found it more entertaining, that's just my preference. Some other persons might not find it as funny as I did and that is fine.

Rating is fine but to condemn one just because you favour another is just sad.

Similar take here, really. i like the comparative without being comparative.

LordReed:
I don't judge mythologies to be superior or inferior. They are all stories of how our forebears saw the world,

Judge is a strong and slippery word in my clime, i will use rate. i rate stories differently and indeed find some superior to others. Anything wrong with rating?

But Lagos has Portable the musician, what's the complaining about?

What are gay rights, is it the right to be a sinner like the other fornicators and immoral people, or is it the right to have others and force others support your folly? They should be clear.

Bloody Illiterate Touts

Online noise.

BiafranPatriot:
I am waiting for TINUBUs book..

Let see how many RONU mandate noisemakers will read it.. let alone afford to buy it

Headless mob and online chestbeating, online country, online currency and online president. The only thing offline right now is the plime minister in prison.

Social media ranters.

LordReed:
So the way you see how superior a story is by how many people know it? LoLz.

What are your indices?

At least, they won't accuse you guys of rubber stamp, or would they? The headless mob have no direction, we don't know.

Welrez:
The true symbol of traditional religion is the mental emancipation from the Abrahamic religions

If it was more profitable, we'd have discussed this emancipation.

LordReed:
Apples to oranges comparison. The proper comparion is like claiming Cinderella is superior to Oluronbi.

Probably it is, Cinderella is known globally in many languages. Oluronbi is barely known in the South West, not to mention other parts of Nigeria. Have you searched for it on YouTube to see results for the two?

i take it as a prayer for now.

LordReed:
It's sad that you think your favourite Jewish mythology is superior to your own birthplace mythologies. Really sad.

Isn't it superior at the least by numbers? Is Elon Musk not superior to Dangote? Is Samsung not a superior company to iTel? Is Real Madrid not a superior football club to Nasarawa FC?

festacman:
I don't do lolz stuff.

Look, economy doesn't run on tax. Economy generate sundry revenues including taxes. It government that runs on these revenues including taxes. Fixing the economy is key, bro.

Lol means lots of laughter.
The 36 states and the FCT generated a total of N2.43 trillion as Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in 2023,
Nigerians paid N12.37 trillion taxes in 2023

Tax is the economy friend.

festacman:
Fixing the economy before fixing tax makes more sense.

Lolz, the economy runs on revenue, which is gotten by tax. Or you think government is a business enterprise? Tax is what drives IGR all over the world. Making our taxing more efficient is the best way forward.

Dbegining:
They should suspend the bill abeg.

Cause how will you propose to increase VAT to 15%?!

That's madness!

And, it's really deceitful that the government is saying those earning below N800,000 per annum won't pay tax but even those earning the minimum wage of N70,000 will pay tax cause they earn N840,000 per annum
Cause N70,000 × 12 = N840,000

So, everybody will pay tax!
Deceitful!



I think you should go through the tax drat or listen to the town hall meeting that hosted Oyedele. Its N800,000

Then, as for those private organizations paying below N70,000 monthly. Check it, the employees don't pay tax. Nothing changes in that regard.

The tax reform bills are all available for anybody in the world to read. Please read them if you care this much or skim through at least. It can be gotten here. https://fiscalreforms.ng/index.php/2024/10/04/nigerian-tax-reforms-bills/
Mr. Oyedele himself explained the additional 200,000 that makes it 1 million, and i have helped you to attach it in this post. Under the current tax laws, everyone pays tax, no exemption. It is this same FG that gave some temporary concessions because of the hardship, it's not a law but executive order. Current law for personal income tax is attached. You pay 7% if you earn 300,000naira or less per annum. For those earning more, 11% is the tax rate on the next 300,000naira. i.e if you earn 600k p.a, 7% is charged on the first 300k and 11% on the next/remaining money. If you earn more than 600k, 15% is charged on anything above 600k. This is the current tax law and rate.
On the other hand, the tax reform bill is proposing 0% tax for people earning 800k and below, and there is rent relief of 200,000 or 20% of annual ren (see picture 3number vi). Meaning, they will not tax you for 800k + 200k from rent. That's 1million naira. You show your rent receipt plus your salary, they will not tax the first 800k and 200k of the money you paid for rent.
Essential items such as food, education, healthcare will enjoy 0% VAT while rent, public transportation, and renewable energy will be exempted, providing relief for low-income households that spend nearly 100% of their income on these necessities.This is the proposal. These are the facts, let's argue objectively please.

Zico5:
Who is controlling Lagos? Now I know u don't know anything. Why did they remove Ambode despite his performance as governor. If Tinubu is not the one controlling Lagos then who is controlling it. Seyi is gearing up to take up the mantle already but u are sitting there saying nonsense.

Here are te questions again, i already assumed with you that Tinubu controls Lagos.
Is Lagos state better than yesterday in economy and revenue generation? Is there any state in Nigeria better than Lagos? At least, those states are not under Tinubu or Alpha Beta?

Do this people really think that everyone is so kind like Tinubu to let their defamations slide and even reward them with appointments?

anonimi:
What are senators from Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and other Yoruba cum southern states, apart from Lagos waiting for

They are probably not empty barrels.

Zico5:
I don't need to answer u. Tell me one policy that Tinubu has introduced that has significant effect on the masses. All the write up about tax reform are gimmick. By the time the real deal on tax reform appears then u will know that Tinubu agenda is beyond tax reform. Alpha Beta today gained ground in Lagos and it's mainly through tax reform by Tinubu.

Let's assume you are saying the truth, is Lagos state better than yesterday in economy and revenue generation? Is there any state in Nigeria better than Lagos? At least, they are not under Tinubu or Alpha Beta?

At least, we'll no longer complain that the Senate is rubber stamp, i hope.
It's actually those earning below 1million naira per annum. Plus, many states and private organizations pay far below 70,000. They all become tax free. They are not everybody i guess.

He looks like he's denying like Peter and Simon Ekpa.

No Muslim muslim ticket wahala from Aso Rock again?

Another reason not to use cars or planes, people die in these things you know?

Okay, so he defamed Afe Babalola and Elumelu. Why? And he's looking for new Nigeria. SMH
Does he think that everyone is nice and turning the other cheek like Tinubu that will make his abusers special assistant/advisers? One obi lamba pastor has kept Ijelespeaks in prison for defamation about one year now, no outcry. Abegi. Hypocrites.

Stevosty:
get out of my mention.

Ignorant hypocrite.

Stevosty:
how will that nonsense you posted affect the economy, strengthened the naira, and increase productivity? You people think everyone is dumb as you are, and the 50 naira for every 10000 is called what?

Job creation, ease of doing business, and tax exemption do not affect the economy; you must be a comedian. Enjoy the circus.

nasbiafra:
go warm ebayou no dey make any sense

i can't make sense to people that epka and lamidi make sense to. i will be expecting too much.

yewit37486:
Keep asking jamb questions, you will answer it yourself when you're done.

Hypocrisy.

Ezewuzie01:
There is nothing wrong with that. People change their minds often as situation on ground necessitates. Tinubu himself was once against fuel price hike under Jonathan but has now shifted ground with his total subsidy removal.

The tax bills are necessary and must be passed into law.

There's even no change of mind there. He doesn't support a unilateral increase in VAT which affects the poor. He wants people who earn below 1million naira per annum to pay 0% tax while companies and people that earn above 100million naira have their tax percentage increased a little.

Stevosty:
What is there to read, by the time this government is done even his supporters will sing a different song. It's now 50 naira for every 10,000.

Don't perish for lack of knowledge, read.

TonyeBarcanista:
Have you read the bill or you only had opinion based on opinion of government promoters and agents?

Na food barcanista dey find oh, hmmm.
