Didn't know Egunje is tax until now. 9ja my country

It is not Egunje tax oh.

There are many taxes that are extorted from Motorists on highways

All those trailers that carry food items, wood usually pay Produce tax along the highways. Within a state, you can see up to three check points on the road

There are also those Local government taxes they collect. They will be selling it as tickets and stickers.

It's usually rampant in Southern Nigeria. The Northerners don't have all these nonsense as such.

But SE, SS, SW? Na the home of extortion

The money wey dem don release nko?

All these ones na story

Until I see the Government arresting those touts who mount roadblocks in the whole of Southern Nigeria, na tales by Moonlight be this

$100 bills are the preferred note for buying and selling dollars on the black market

You may not get the same amount for 5 $20 bills as you will for 1 $100 bill

Unfortunate skill issue \learning point

When I enter okada I have exact change or I ask to see change before we take off

That's not Nigeria nau. That's SA.

Abi na me no understand well?

And besides, the difference isn't much. Maybe 50 naira or so.

WHo is at fault shey na izzou wey carry all night and paid her $140 in $20 notes or the lady who is insisting on $100 note

VIDEO PROOF!

They agreed on $140 for a one-night knack.

They finished and the guy brought out the agreed amount to pay, but in $20 notes.

The lady saw he had $100 notes and refused to collect the $20, insisting he pay her with the $100 notes.

Seems like there's an underlying issue already.

I refuse to believe that this is all to the story

GloriousGbola:
flip side - the operators will do everything in their power to sabotage this initiative because it means no more free money.

But the process cannot work easily if you just introduce it immediately.

Think about it. Cars lined up, and everybody begins to input cards in POS machines and waiting for it to load up and confirm transaction. Haaa

For me,
1) Slowly work with banks and fintechs to have an option for toll gates on their apps. You can pay, input your vehicle number and type before you even get there. What's left is to confirm it and you can pass easily

2) Increase the toll for cash and give a discount for transfers. It could even be a 500 difference. People will gradually integrate themselves into the cashless policy, while you get it right.

The whole place is just messed up with traffic

The kind of wicked traffic at Airport toll gate is crazy.

Why don't we gradually introduce a system? Why do we always have to make it very difficult by bringing change overnight?

No more cash ....So everybody must input card inside POS and press PIN

Na wa!

Sunday Igboho Abandons Yoruba Freedom Fighting, Joins APC | #IgbereTV

You sure say Dem no give Kanu this condition.. remember when you join APC, you are now a new creature, old things are pass away

You think say e easy?

You think it is easy to pick a struggle and suffer, while you go into hiding and have nothing to show for your life?

Kanu is in prison. Spy360 is enjoying his life everyday; moves freely and can eat well, while offering massive support for Kanu online

CCP wey tell Tinubu say MNK conviction go kill him chances for SE, don join city boy. Kanu still dey Sokoto.

I saw Igboho's video and I was happy for him. All of us for ourselves, God for us all.

When Nigerians are actually ready to fix their country, they will all do it together

Spy360:
So Kanu is enforcing sit at home from Sokoto prison?

Is that how smart you are?

How can you be cancelling something you didn't order?

You said MNK wasn't responsible for Sit at home, but you are showing me a post of him cancelling it.

If you are the definition of "Smart", Lord make me dumb and phooolish forever. Amen

Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!

Dem no dey pray for Nigeria oh.

200 people will die in one day, and they will be organizing "Faith based Conferences", on how God wants to take you to a new level.

One starts to wonder if God is inconsiderate and insensitive.

That's what we get in a monopoly thanks to our local refineries being abandoned.

In all honesty, even if we had 20 refineries, they would all take advantage of the situation.

We should be angry with Israel for starting this again, but we are not ready for this conversation in 600 years

Dangote don do the needful.

Get ready for shipping lines to start increasing rates.

Na una know the joy wey una see for this thing since Saturday. Reality don kick in

Ghanaians have infiltrated our culture

Na Ghana like all these kind burials

abduleez1:
Lol, this airbase and radar.... This radar especially.... I can see the fingerprints of Russia and China.

Na dem give them the accurate coordinates and geolocation targeting to take out this radar.

See infrastructure wey ordinary Iran dey take out and one Alaba analyst dey tell me say USA fit depose Russian and Chinese presidents. The copium is real.

Why Alaba?

Why?

Abugu, my man.

You suppose arrest the guy sha

sconp:
Kidnappers mostly request for cash, even during the exchange of school students for ransom, it's hard cash.

I really don't want to be insensitive with that story, but his ransom talk is shady.

The same kidnappers that forced your people to charter a vehicle and bring the cash personally, are the ones that willingly provided an account for transfer

The same kidnappers that killed the tractor operator for just mentioning 2 million out of 50 million, are the same ones that collected 2 million from you, despite you being the only one remaining.

I only know that kidnappers can be traced through phone numbers. Na the first case of account number I dey hear like this.

BlueRayDick:
I don’t understand ur second paragraph

Our bushes are infiltrated. I don't mean in the North... Everywhere.

So if someone says they got kidnapped in a bush, I won't doubt it at all.

BlueRayDick:
Maybe the trauma of the whole incident still makes him get some of the story scattered sha, but I think at some point he mentioned his bro and mum arrange some funds. That is different from the N2m transfer they made .

Anyways I can't speak for him, but I doubt the reason he made the post is to "scam'' the public with a sob story. Methinks he just wants to get whatever he can get from Nigerians willing to donate for him to offset whatever the amount of debt he has outstanding sha. The Sahara reporters article already confirmed his story of kidnap to be genuine

I don't doubt his kidnap story one bit.

Anybody wey enter bush, anything wey e see there, na to manage am.

Emmynator:
He said they paid 15M initially and instead of releasing him the kidnappers were asking for additional 55M, which they later agreed to collect 2M.
Likely the 6.2M debt is from the initial ransom payment.

Not 15 million. Some money he didn't mention

Emaprince:
He said his mom.agreed with the kidnappers to pay 15m. The mom and brother chartered a bus to deliver some of the money. The 2m wasnt mentioned at this time.

I really want to reply your post, but I would sound so insensitive.

That story doesn't add up to me. Not like I doubt his ordeal.

BlueRayDick:
I think the guy wants to call the woman out for her wickedness of blocking his number knowing she was his only hope of raising the ransom while he was facing a life-threatening situation. He also wants to expose the wickedness she exhibited by using his own tragedy to enrich herself.

Outside of that, the guy is most likely looking at getting crowdfunding to enable him pay whatever debt his family incurred to pay the ransom. I think he mentioned it somewhere in the comment section of his twitter post.

Even his debt has holes in the story

He said they paid 2 million for his ransom. That was the only figure he mentioned that the bandits received in almost 40 days of his capture, but he's saying they have spent 6.2 million in ransom payment and expenses.

The same 2 million is what he admitted that the manager gave his mother and chopped 50 million.

So how dem take enter 6.2 million naira debt on this matter?

Anyways, he should be sure the manager received that money before making such and allegation. A mere "Our WhatsApp group chat" might be a lie. Then he should go hard on the thief of a manager.

May God continue to protect us!

Paradise S2 is out, and I wasn't informed?

Emaprince:
The woman should be punished for keeping that money. She is a criminal and hard heartened, that she wished the boy was killed, so she can eat everything. She is the main reason the boy was detained longer in captivity. Blocking the bandits number probably enraged them and made them punish the guy more.

To be honest, his story accusing the woman on how the ransom was raised, is not adding up.

I'm grateful he came out alive. Seeing your colleague die is enough trauma
