It's male dominated. Mainly due to the misogynistic culture here

These are African big boys. Very interesting match up

Quick questions.

How is this verified or its just another PR to get people to watch it

Tax write off.
If you know, you know.

Even though i dont like Tinubu and his government, She is one of my favourite first lady. No drama and just doing her Job as a FIRST LADY. Elegant lady

This country is in shambles. Who wrote and sign off on this memo!?. A few schools got repeated on the list. Nothing works anymore in Nigeria.
Yes, the FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EDUCATION wrote that.

Looks like political witch hunt. Next general election will be interesting.

This is typical with Samsung. It happened to my S20 ultra and I had to change the screen. It gets worse, so brace yourself

If they actually follow through with this policy, alot of VCs will get indicted. These VCs run our higher institutions like their private property.

All these propaganda because he is making it difficult for corrupted entities to carry out business as usual.

President Bola Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills, submitted to Nigeria’s National Assembly in October 2024, aim to overhaul the country’s tax system through four key pieces of legislation: the Nigeria Tax Bill 2024, Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill.
Here’s a summary:

1. Nigeria Tax Bill 2024: Consolidates taxes, exempts low earners (below ₦800,000/year) and small businesses (turnover ≤ ₦50 million), reduces corporate tax from 30% to 25%, and raises VAT from 7.5% to 15% by 2030. It shifts VAT sharing to favor states based on consumption (60%), introduces a 5% telecom tax, and prioritizes federal tax authority over conflicting laws.

2. Nigeria Tax Administration Bill: Standardizes tax processes across government levels, mandates digital filing, and increases penalties for non-compliance.

3. Nigeria Revenue Service Bill: Replaces the FIRS with the Nigeria Revenue Service to centralize tax collection, including royalties and excise duties.

4. Joint Revenue Board Bill: Creates a board to coordinate federal and state tax efforts.


Goals: Simplify taxation, boost revenue (targeting 18% tax-to-GDP by 2026), promote equity, and stimulate growth.

Status: Passed the House by March 13, 2025, with Senate approval pending after debates.

Controversy: Northern states oppose the VAT formula for favoring richer regions, though the reforms exempt essentials and aim to fund public services. Success depends on effective implementation and addressing regional disparities.

Why did he waive extradition?
Extradition treaties between the United States and other countries only work in one direction.

I thought i was the only one that saw that. He has better chance to get less or no prison sentence in Nigeria than the US

Did he actually waived extradition or he was coerced?

Thieves should be allowed in churches but not people that steal.
Christianity and hypocrisy na 5&6

A case of schizophrenia but I trust my African brethren to run with the stories

Train dey for you

Exactly how he got rich. No sentiments in business. Smart move

That is debris from a failed spaceX mission. Hopefully there are no damages to human and properties on impact.

I am a big advocate for getting what you deserve but in this situation, if the employee is let go, it's not a bad decision from the boss because this is not a good attitude from anybody, employee or not.
It was a gift not an entitlement. A simple thank you wouldn't hurt anybody.

Shey if the boss stop giving this entitlement because of one person, they will call him a bad employer.

Remember the story of the palm oil and fingers? Yes.

Same thing happened around this time last year. I argued that the naira will continue to appreciate. I learnt the hard way.

Buy usd now because when naira start to fall, it will be bloody.

Grown man like you, you are are having problem Upandan and you expect your wife to save you everytime because she is in the Army. Oga grow up.

I'm barely 30 and I can't i remember the last time I have issues to even involve the police.

When your wife don't respect you or take you serious anymore, you go begin shout "this is not the woman I married", "she has been corrupted by feminist and westernised "

Make we try dey avoid some kind embarrassment that will bring our union and family shame.

PEACE!

If someone complains about your driving, you are not a good driver.

Driving 101: Always make sure your passengers are comfortable when you are driving.

Get samsung airbuds 3 pro and thank me later.

Divide and conquer.
It is very obvious what this memo is intended for.
Apc is working overtime to destroy the opposition instead of improving the welfare of Nigerians.

I don't understand some of my fellow Nigeria men.
Food wey you go follow chop!
But it's okay to buy it if you live with your friend but not for the woman you love, your wife or the mother of your kids.
You wonder why your relationship no dey work na because you no dey put effort.

Ozempic.

I have read many of his post and he is direct and honest. I never met him but respected him.
May your gentle soul rest well Gazzuzz.

The Australian passport is among the top five most powerful in the world, according to new rankings, with the number of destinations those who hold it can access visa-free having grown.

Australia placed joint fifth alongside Portugal in the 2024 Henley Passport Index, up from joint eighth spot last year.

The Australian passport is now ranked higher than that of the United States, which fell from joint seventh position to eighth — a continued decline it has experienced since jointly topping the list with the United Kingdom a decade ago.

The Henley Passport Index — created by Henley & Partners, a London-based investment migration consultancy firm — uses data from the International Air Transport Authority to compare the visa-free access of 199 nations' passports to 227 destinations.

The most powerful passport — and how Australia compares

Tied for fifth place, Australian and Portuguese passport holders can access 189 destinations without a visa — or with a visa, visitor's permit or electronic travel authority (ETA) they can obtain upon arrival.

However, that's six fewer countries that holders of the most powerful passport, Singapore, can access visa-free.

Singaporeans can access 195 destinations without prior visa authorisation — a figure which has seen them reclaim the top spot it last held jointly with Japan in 2022.

Japan ranked first in 2023, but this year placed equal second alongside France, Germany, and Italy. Holders of these passports can access 192 destinations visa-free.

Austria, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Sweden were all in third spot with visa-free access to 191 countries.

Meanwhile, New Zealand, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom were able to access 190 destinations without a visa — a score that saw them rank equal fourth.

Which passports are the weakest?

In 103rd place was the Afghan passport, which again ranked at the bottom of the list with visa-free access to just 26 destinations — the lowest score ever recorded in the index's 19-year history.

Syria placed 102nd with a visa-free score of 28, while Iraq was ranked 101st with a score of 31.

Rounding out the five weakest passports were Yemen and Pakistan, both ranked 100th with access to 33 destinations visa-free; Somalia in 99th place with visa-free access to 35 destinations; and Nepal and Libya in 98th position with a visa-free score of 39.

"The general trend over the past two decades has been towards greater travel freedom, with the global average number of destinations travellers are able to access visa-free nearly doubling from 58 in 2006 to 111 in 2024," said Henley & Partners chairman Christian Kaelin in a statement.

"However, the global mobility gap between those at the top and bottom of the index is now wider than it has ever been, with top-ranked Singapore able to access a record-breaking 169 more destinations visa-free than Afghanistan".


Would the NIGERIAN PASSPORT ever get to top 10 powerful passports in the world?

Exousiang01:
Sometimes when we blame politicians for things like this we are just 50% right.....

We have seen situations where contractors are paid and they choose to do shitty jobs.
If not that tge current minister of Works is a civil engineer most of the roads and contractors he has been complaining about we would never have known.

Kalu is not an engineer so he may even visit the site for inspection and not notice anything.

These contracctors can be wicked....

Kalu may not even have an idea that the contractor did a shabby job till now

Kalu owns a construction company. He knows exactly what is happening on that road. He is just a typical Nigeria politician that don't care about the masses just their pockets and that of their families.
I was in Umuahia when he was the governor. He was a terrible leader
