Not being a government agency, it can not be justified.

All contracts for service for the state government by a private consulting has to go through competitive bidding. You cant legislate automatic award of contract for anyone.

I dont think LSHA are denying it. They have apologised. Hence, the question of justifiability does not arise. Even the maker of the law is not justifying it.

Hi guys,

This idea was mooted by members of the Nairaland Football Team that trained and planned to participate in the 2017 Social Media tournament that was eventually jettisoned by the organisers.

After the disappointment by the organisers, we decided to just take charge and organize something similar. Rather than being a tournament, we decided to adopt a league model.

We also decided to expand it beyond Nairaland; hence the name, Nigeria Social Media Football League (NSMFL)

We are starting with 2018 edition.

FORMAT
1, 4 teams will be formed
2, Each team will register at least 16 players
3, All teams play each other "home" and "away" (although on same ground).

The Teams

We decided to name the teams after the winners of the leagues in England, Spain, Germany and Nigeria in the previous season (i.e 2016/2017 champions).

So the 4 teams to play this league for 2018 season are:
1, Chelsea
2, Real Madrid
3, Bayern Munich
4, Plateau United




Duration

The league will run for 6 months, March - August 2018. Each team will have 1 match per month.

Last Sunday of every month.

Venue & Time

UNILAG training pitch

First match: 2-4pm
Second match: 4-6pm

70 minutes (30 minutes per half, 10 minutes half time)

League Committee

A League Committee of 5 people who shall oversee the administrative part shall be formed. You can indicate interest to join the LMC here.



End of the Season Awards

At the end of the season in August, an award ceremony shall be organised. The following awards shall be presented:

- Champions (winning team)
- Team of the Season (Best 11 players of the league)
- Player of the season
- Top scorer
- Goal of the season
- King of assist


Registration
Send your name and the team you want to play for to 07036442913.
For now registration is free, and we hope to keep it free. We will try and look for sponsors. However, if we could not find sponsors, each team may have to contribute N15,000 to use to organize the award events.


FIXTURES

Note: The first team is the home team; the second away. However, this is just for designation as both "home" and away" matches will hold in same field.

MARCH
- Chelsea vs Madrid
- Bayern vs Plateau United

APRIL
- Madrid vs Bayern
- Plateau United vs Chelsea

MAY

- Plateau United vs Madrid
- Bayern vs Chelsea

JUNE
- Madrid vs Chelsea
- Plateau United vs Bayern

JULY
- Bayern vs Madrid
- Chelsea vs Plateau United

AUGUST
- Chelsea vs Plateau United
- Madrid vs Bayern

Both matches hold last Sunday of the month.


Transfer Window

There shall be 1 transfer window in the middle of the season.
The window will open from 1st - 15th June.
A team is allowed to sign a player from another team for real money, subject to approval of the owning team and the LMC.
A team is also allowed to sign fresh players (i.e players not registered at the beginning of the season in March).
The maximum number of mid-season transfer (whether bought from another team or outside the league) is 5.
For external transfer, the team shall pay N2,000 to the LMC for a new player signed mid-season.
For intra-league transfer, the transfer fee shall be as agreed between the two teams and the money goes to the selling team.


TABLES

Tables shall be published on a dedicated Nairaland thread, updated after every match day.
The tables to be kept are:

- League table
- Scorers' chart
- Assist tracker

FINAL NOTE: While this was developed by Nairalanders for Nairalanders, we are not limiting it to Nairaland, that is why we have used Social Media League, and not Nairaland League. So feel free to share with and invite your friends on other social media platforms to register. Only players that registered before 22 March 2017 will play.

Guys, let's make this happen!!!

AlienRobot:
After a test and interview, I received a regret mail. Knowing how well I performed, I decided to send them a follow up email and he responded and I quote


" I am currently out of office on study leave with limited access to emails. i would respond to your email as soon as possible."


Is there still hope or I should move on??

That is an auto response set when the email recipient was going on leave. Anyone that sent him an email within that period - even official email - will also receive that response.

You may send a follow up email 2 weeks later. But it is not likely to change the situation. Interview is subjective. You may think you performed well, while the interviewer may think otherwise.

Good. Although this happens all the time.

Changes77:
Nevertheless, as a social media influencer, Mr Jarushub, you and your team, should girdle up your loins and re-brain wash these first class dreamers to attend more entrepreneur and Tech seminars and agro business seminars on campus like TedX and the likes, even if it implies paying fees to register for such. I know they would listen to you

Noted. LOL

managersam:
So, out of the meaningful threads we have on Nairaland, this news could get featured on Africa's No.1 Online Forum??

I weep for Nairaland!
I weep for Nigeria!!
I weep for Africa!!!

An online forum is about traffic, not about what you like. Traffic is what brings money, not necessarily what you like.

JoNach:
Lol.. u wan bet am ??

Lol. I stand corrected.

OBAGADAFFI:
The FGN has granted 27 more activities tax free status, called Pioneer Relief. This relief, on application and approval, gets the company engaging in the activities to enjoy exemption from tax on their profits for first 3 years of production (and extension of up to 2 more years).

With e-commerce on the new list, it means Konga, Jumia and others (including potentially JarusHub, the online career services company) will enjoy tax holiday of 3-5 years[b] if they apply.[/b]

Note the Bold.


I can give you a list of in these category(including e.commerce and software development companies) that are still being taxed.

So when government announced that there is tax exemption for a business, you expect the government to walk to the business and grant the exemption while the business is sitting there without applying?

What happens to tracking and records management by government? How will government have data on the tax exemptions and impact without formal application process?

If a school announces it is tuition free, does it mean the school is still expected to go to people and beg them to come and enjoy the free tuition and not people applying?

Does it stop the fact that free tuition is available to people by that school?


Or you expect me to be giving all the minute details of processes of getting tax exemption by ecommerce and software development businesses?

Oga, the Law is straightforward: Tax exemption is available for ecommerce and software development companies. If they don't apply, it is not government's business.

And by the way, 95% of ecommerce businesses in Nigeria still make losses, so there are no income taxes to pay with or without tax exemption.

blackpanda:
Very incorrect

OBAGADAFFI:
Not totally true.

OBAGADAFFI:
Not totally true.

Smh. You're talking to someone that makes key input in tax policy formulation for Nigerian government.

Someone that makes a living from knowledge of tax laws.

Check numbers 21 and 22 in this list of activities granted tax exemption of 3- 5 years last year

http://www.opinions.ng/konga-jumia-others-now-eligible-tax-exemption/

E-commerce already has tax exemption. So is software development.

kabrud:
Not just 5 minutes, the whole thing start from closing your shop or leaving whatever you are doing, perform the ablution then enter the mosque and pray. Not less than 30 minutes, 5 times a day. The most difficult is waking up at 5: 30 am for the prayer. Besides, there is no prayer (the entering of the mosque part) that is less than 10 minutes even for the shortest, just two pairs of prostrations.

If you haven't been there, you wont know how difficult it is.

The dropping of Nwakaeme is justified. He didn't impress the two or three times he was given opportunity last year.

Ideye's inclusion is a welcome development. Like him or hate him, the guy has played football at the highest level and his experience just can't be dismissed.

I wish we give Martins one more chance even if as substitute.

We can't rely on Ighalo alone as center forward.
