Lolz, at things losers do to make themselves happy. Better happy than depressed though.

Who else should we endorse?

Hope say you know dey do place holder?

dominique:
What manner of entitlement is this? Is the presidential ticket is birthright?

It's called pure love na.

"Nigeria is not poor, Nigeria is poorly governed" Peter obi

We saw how he richly governed Anambra State for 8years, and his APGA and LP leadership. Even his personal business is not a top recruitment destination. Talk is very cheap.

God is not so frivolous as to be doing sporty bet

Maobichek:
Good morning, despite my clarification you still hinged on my transfer (expenditures) alone; there would definitely be no way my transactions would be expenditures alone, thank you and have a great day.

Actually, you said "I have done over 15 transfer yesterday and today but it's still the old 26/52 Naira charge, i later ask someone in CBN and it was confirmed that the new tax is yet to take effect."
You assumed on these bank transfers that the tax reform is not implemented. This is why i have to ask you how you think you should be taxed. You seemed to be expecting some tax deductions on your 15 transfers.
Are you an employee or self employed? How were you taxed before this year? The answer to these questions may help with the explanation you're looking for.

Maobichek:
I'm not ignorant, what i wrote is both income and expenditures, if you have been taxed on any income received since January 1st, please confirm it via proofs. I'm in the FCT so anything happening in Nigeria should start here.

I'm apolitical hence i don't support any political party; I'm not holding brief for the ruling party or the opposition, thank you.

Did the FG tell you they'd be taxing your bank transfers?

Afrobasic:
See this one dey pretend. Lie that you are not a fan of the drug lord in Aso rock?

Obviously, you're in need of medical and psychological help.

The Jagaban. Loud it guys. And we should leave this to vote rubbish?

That's some huge huge problem. The Nigerian audacity of corruption is fantastic indeed.
Cartels are established this way.

Maobichek:
I have done over 15 transfer yesterday and today but it's still the old 26/52 Naira charge, i later ask someone in CBN and it was confirmed that the new tax is yet to take effect.

Maybe Fed government has been taxing you differently this year but mine is still the same old charges, thank you.

Obviously, you are proudly ignorant. Did the FG tell you they'd be taxing your bank transfers?

Ahhh, how Gumi go like me. oh no.
But no video evidence na. i can't just run with some random two people on youtube.

Deepspirituals:
. He was not defeated ,Did he contest for President....He said the naked truth ...Baba needs the Inec and Judges that is all

Okay sir, i believe.

Maobichek:
This has nothing to do with opposition ok, many people raised concern about the tax. I want to ask you a question: why did the federal government yet to implement the tax on Nigerians?

What tax, the tax laws came into effect this week, January 1. i guess you were listening to wrong people.

AMINDA:
Just imagine! Magnus Abe? Is this a way of pacifying Wike or checkmating him? Serious institutions of state are now been used to curry favour and settle political debts, all because of the desperation and inordinate ambition of one man? All I see is panic.

Video: Wike warns APC National Secretary, Ajibola Bashiru to steer clear of Rivers state.

Minister Wike has warned the National Secretary of the APC, Ajibola Basiru to stay clear of Rivers State.

When e reach your turn, choose your enemy or unknown person.

All these unproven allegations don't win elections. You're only making excuses for your imminent defeat.

anonimi:
Like the lies and desperation of Oshiomole's Assembly of PAst Criminals, APC as we entered election season 11 years ago?

By how much is Tinubu forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector now for every litre of fuel

hi, perennial goalpost shifter

It goes without saying. There's no competent opposition in view.

Businesses are really going strong in this Tinubu administration. Little wonder most of them have openly supported him, which hardly happens in our political landscape.

The opposition is in disarray and struggling tooth and nail gasping for breathe. Expect more lies and desperation as we enter election season. They know the tax reform is a game changer. Only the opposition and their OAPs are in possession of this so called gazetted version. As how na? Imagine satan sleeping while the Saviour saves the world, reason am na.

How many trumpets and saxophones should we buy sir?

All these bug men with big positions but nothing tangible to offer their people.
If you give your people quality education, terrorism and brainwashing will not thrive there.

Makinde the PDP man thinking he is fit to be president, without hearing from his colleagues Wike and Fayose.

To God be the glory. Don't try this at home, kids.

What can we say about Atiku the job creator?

UrVillageChief:
Which part of the law says unemployed people are exempted? Let’s start from there.
Which part of the law states that there would be grants and social benefits for the unemployed like it’s done in the countries we are emulating? Please, I’m waiting because those are the major concerns I highlighted.
A fresh graduate who’s earning an income through betting (for instance) is to be taxed according to the newly created income tax laws but there’s no provision and mechanism in place to get him employed or entitled to social benefits, loans or grants at least or if you think he wouldn’t be taxed, kindly share with us the part of the law that says he’s exempted since he’s unemployed. Also share with me the Nigerian laws that make provisions to cater to the needs of unemployed citizens.
Again, this conversation is not your regular Obidients vs Agbado as you commonly call yourselves on this forum, so please trash the old vs new regime nonsense you’re trying to bring up because I’m not here to compare one nonsense with another as both the new and the old shouldn’t be in existence until those said mechanism are put in place, no human society taxes unemployed people without making them entitled to benefits.
No human society thrives on taxing poverty.
Supporting Tinubu shouldn’t turn you into Obi’s hordes of lunatic followers who believe Obi is perfect and can do no wrong. The lunatics that are fond of hurling insults at anyone who dares to question him. That’s not how sane humans should be, we should be able to put sentiments aside and judge things objectively. One of the many Ódés even said Nnamdi Kanu would rot in sokoto prison—ultimately presuming that I was one of his supporters just because I’m faulting a policy created by Tinubu🤣
Now tell me, what’s the difference between you and the Peter Obi’s hordes of delulus?

You obviously are on a different wavelength, i have other things to do than babysitting.

UrVillageChief:
An unemployed individual shouldn’t have any business paying taxes to even start with. So, that last year tax you are trying to reference shouldn’t be in existence if Nigeria was a working society. The same Taiwo Oyedele who’s now the Chairman of Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms in Nigeria, once condemned the taxation of the poor saying no country can get rich off taxing the poor but today, he’s one of the ppl championing the cause. That’s just an average Nigerian for you😂 We condemn wrongdoings only when we aren’t benefitting from them. His condemnation of the tax regime was in 2020 but today, he’s swiftly switched up.
A poor individual is the one who’s unemployed and doesn’t enjoy any basic rights the government—rights like free healthcare, grants, loans and other social benefits. In civilized and sane societies, the rich are the ones worst-hit by taxation because the concept of taxation is to take from the rich and powerful to care for the masses but in Nigeria, the reverse is the case and in fact, the rich are not even complaining because why should they?
At this rate (15% min), even the poorest Nigerian (those earning the minimum) aren’t even exempted because the total they earn in a year is 840k, meaning that the extra 40k would still be taxed. In sane countries, you have no reasons to not want to pay taxes because the countries’ frameworks are built in such a way that everyone is earning incomes and those not employed are given grants and benefits. Now tell me, what welfare programs and packages have you ever enjoyed from the government? What social benefits are reserved for the poor and unemployed by the Nigerian federal authorities that makes you think it’s normal and cool to still tax the same people you’ve failed to help?
Supporting politicians shouldn’t erode your reasoning and common sense and no, I’m not one of those who support nonsense all in the name of party and tribal politics and affiliations. I support what’s right and condemn what’s not. The Tinubu’s tax regime is ill-timed and the rates and limits are not well-thought-out. Taxation is good and pivotal to the growth of the country but no country gets rich off taxing poverty!

What part of the law says unemployed people should be taxed?
You forgot to explain how a poor individual who’s struggling with life and fighting to give himself a better life is taxed.
You forgot to give a comparison of the old and new to show why we should stay with the old.

Kindly remember this time, my pro-Tinubu friend.

mrvitalis:
I have read the tax law my issue is the tax threshold of 800k which is half of earning UN classify as extreme poverty is too low... What exactly don't you understand

How can you as someone who earns less than 3 dollars a day( poverty lines) to pay tax?

Poverty lines is 1095 dollars per year and you have a tax threshold of 550 dollars

You are asking me to read the tax laws as if what I'm saying is incorrect

You said that minimum wage was to be taxed. You were shown your ignorance. Next goal post.

mrvitalis:
What did I say that's not correct

Read the tax laws or ask questions. Is this very difficult to achieve for someone who speaks so authoritatively about what he knows nothing about? Minimum wage earners are not paying tax.
i will attach it, you don't want to know and you will move to another useless goalpost but i will leave it for posterity. section 58. Section 163 (1)t

mrvitalis:
Tax threshold is 800k
Minimum wage is 70k that's over 800k ... U no do maths for school?

Read the tax laws or ask questions. Is this very difficult to achieve?
