■ I don't know where you're getting your data from as regards Nigeria generates $22B from taxes...
■ Now we know we can't actually ask the Nigerian government how they manage this taxes
■ but I think this are the kind of questions those borrowing us should ask what have we done with those we have received to be able to access more?
■ Now you may be right that it's a new formula....
■ Also note that there it's this same government that says the removal of petroleum subsidy has saved us a lot of trillions but the question still remains where exactly are the saved funds!!! I guess your thoughts are as good as the rest of us.

■ Hope you are not divorced? You sound pained and very bitter...
■ Secondly, you sound GODLESS... You don't believe in Jesus? You don't believe in God?
■ TRUST me you are in a hopeless situation right now...
■ Your Eternity destiny is at stake...
■ Repent now, accept Jesus Christ as your LORD and SAVIOR now before it's too late....
■ Sounding too NATURAL makes you MERE MAN... D

berepiki:
■ Obviously you need answers... Should your daughter have sex before her wedding night?
Don't rush to answer this question... Remember: Every man becomes SANE about sex when it has to do with his daughter or blood sister and a man
■ ...What dignity does sex before marriage bring... You did it doesn't make it right... Remember, there are young people reading these comments... Let posterity judge us all.
■ Can you boldly say before your daughter that premarital sex is not bad?
■ The final outcome of a marriage is determined by a combination of so many other factors...
■ PLEASE NOTE: Premarital is IMMORAL to GOD
■ and totally disrespectful to the parents of the bride...
■ EVERY MARRIAGE should be built on a PURE Foundation as a sign of HONOR to God, DIGNITY of our spouse and REGARD for parents. Even though it doesn't guarantee a lasting marriage.

berepiki:
■ I will like to answer a question in someone's heart... "What if we have already had sex and about to get married?... How do we correct this error?... How do we lay the RIGHT foundation moving forward without going separate ways?
■ MY 2-CENTS
1) Suspend every sexual activity even kissing and long hugging till the wedding night...
2) For those co-habiting ( Staying together before wedding night), please one person should leave the house and move to somewhere else and stay till the wedding night.
3) Finally both of you should beg for forgiveness and also use the blood of Jesus for total cleansing...
■ After doing all these, go ahead and marry... your marriage will be seen as pure in the eyes of God... though natural men will argue this mystery.... the truth is, a non-virgin CAN BE a VIRGIN again if genuine repentance and turning away can take place...very controversial but spiritually true

berepiki:
■ If opening this thread can motivate ONE single to say NO to premarital sex then it's fulfilling... Premarital sex is a faulty foundation for any marriage...
■ Most Marriages survive by the mercies of God...
■ Ideally, every Christian marriage should have a PURE foundation... No single should build a marriage on an immoral foundation

BadBradley:
VDM should relax, a single case cannot be going on in several police station at same time in multiple instances. The need for attention is crowding this mumu sense of duty and priority. Follecuo the case there and you can petition commissioner or AIG. Mumu attention seeker

Cantonese:
Very dark man simply wanted to show off. The driver already made his complain and on the evidence of the video, said "honourable" was arrested. It is a bailable offence. However the driver must not be discouraged from following the matter to the logical conclusion. Such irresponsible people should not be found as leaders in this country.

Maxtipulation:
■ After they have miss manage and squandered all the borrowed funds they want to tax the masses to pay back the funds like we ask them to go and borrow at the first place

Elsueno:
■ Nothing new, dis exactly how IMF/world bank operates. All developing countries with resources & incompetent kleptomaniacs as leaders get similar conditions. The leaders Syphone d loaned money back to western bank accounts, while the IMF/WB gets their money + intrests through discounted or free natural resources( minerals, crude oil, raw materials etc). Every body wins, EXCEPT THE ORDINARY CITIZENS.

dominic17:
What is now the benefit of subsidy removal if we are still borrowing?

bixton:
■ This is one thing that gets interesting to be true. That the Nigerian government needs to agree to increase tax and do it before it would be able to access loans from the world bank?
Is this how it has been done or this is a new format even when we have one of our own as the world bank president?

Ulogwe1:
■ Yes, all citizens doing one job or the other must pay. If you're not seeing the tax put to use is an error. Check must Federal roads today. They were constructed by military regime in no distance time. Have heard of coastal road again? Watch, 2027 they will still bring it as campaign promise again.

FourQu:
■ The problem is the person who is Widening the Tax Net Can you give a rat some fish to multiply and keep for you? Of course nobody will see shi-shi from the taxes paid. 🙄

Kennitrust:
We always hear of loans but we no dey hear say, they don settle loan.
Wetin dem dey do with all dis money?

PHIPEX:
Tax tax tax everywhere. In order for them to get a loan, Nigerians must be taxed to death

FourQu:
Widening the tax net A campaign promise that tinubu loves to work on and deliver promptly to the masses

Ulogwe1:
Even military Government didn't tax their citizens like this.

Kakamorufu:
Make dem no use tax kiill common man o.
Cos in the end, how much are they making??

richmond500:
Taxing us just so u could borrow, is that what I read abi I missed the point?

TheTundeMuniru:
■ At least, there was an evidence that the Senator assaulted the Bolt Driver, can you provide evidence that validate your claim? We all know the answer is No. The driver have no right to walk into a private residence to deliver an item, it is the duty of the customer to come to the door or housegate to receive their package whatsoever.
We've heard situations where delivery persons got missing delivering items to people in their private residence. Some ritualists would lure people in just to take advantage of them.

MadPolitician:
■ Exactly my thoughts. I dont know why our people are being overtly emotional here. That driver was basically grumbling all through. At a point he looked like he was going to start a fight.
The driver looked very unhappy. Very petulant and unnecessarily rude! Yes rude! Like i said in another thread, a millionaire/vip is so for a reason. It is not your job to tell him how to enjoy his money. If he wants to be served in his bathtub, as long as he is paying for it, so be it.
And if you are trying to do a job that will force you to deal with such people, prepare yourself for these. If you are easily offended by the behaviours or attitude of the rich and and powerdul, then by all means stay away from them. A rich man can not order for his rich food in a rich way, only for an angry and petulant driver to be ordering him around. I will break your head to maintian my steeze. Chikenaa.
The driver was wrong!

SalamRushdie:
If you have met Mascot before you would think he is a boy to the HOR , so as the driver saw him with hood sitting on that chair outside he thought he wasn't worth coming down from the car to hand over the package .Mascot is not a trouble maker , if that driver had come down nad handed him the food he would have gone home with more money because Mascot is very generous

oluztx:
■ Many people are jumping to conclusion just based of off the snippet of the video posted by the Bolt delivery driver.
The Bolt driver was very disrespectful and lacks customer service. His demeanor shows he doesn't like his job and doesn't want to be there. He ordered the man to come outside and pick up his food. Hon. Ikwechegh said no, he needs to bring it inside, which is expected as that's why people use such delivery services and pay the extra delivery fees. What if Hon. Ikwechegh was sick and couldn't make it outside? This is what delivery service is for. Otherwise, it's meaningless. They can as well go outside and drive to the restaurant themselves.
Hon. Ikwechegh even called the restaurant asking what's going on as he couldn't understand why the driver is acting in this manner. If I were him, I would have asked him to return the food. Can't trust eating a food delivered by a driver having an attitude.
Yes, his actions were wrong but the bolt driver was very disrespectful to order a man that lives in an upscale part of the city and obviously an honorable member to come outside. If he had his security detail, they would dealt with him and rightfully so. Delivery driver is a customer service job, you have to do it respectfully.
It appears this could also be premeditated by the bolt driver, like he's been there before, perhaps, didn't like his tip and decided to set him up by acting disrespectfully.

Macphenson:
Can you imagine? After assualting the driver, you still called the Police on the guy.
Nigerian Police una do welloooo. They keep using the Police and other security agencies to oppress poor masses.
Make una continue.

VillageBus:
This na exactly wetin Nigeria government like, make the citizens they blame foreigners instead of them.
Over a thousand people dey work for imf, most of them they give advice without looking the specific conditions of the country dem dey advice.

mrvitalis:
■ I blame IMF for always giving people who don't meet their conditions loans IMF would give you conditions to grow... You would do some leave some then turn around to blame IMF Looking at our finance only a fool would embark on any real infrastructural project now with borrowed money. A man earns ₦500k his monthly expenses is 750k ... He manages to borrow ₦50 million but that loan would increase monthly expenses to ₦1 million
Instead of using the loan to invest in a business that would yield minimum of ₦500k monthly to stay afloat... He went to build house in his village, buys a car... Then turn around to blame the loan company when they tell him to reduce his lifestyle Is buying a car bad? No, is building a village house bad ? No but doing it with borrowed money is foolish right? That's exactly what happens when you borrow money in an already strangulated balance sheet to use to build rail n road

Abee79:
■ You just described in graphic details some of the effects of IMF policies on Nigeria (and other African countries). Thank you 👍

santaclaws:
Shebi the president thought IMF was Nigeria's friend, that was why he took their advice without first consulting or constituting an economic team...
Bretton woods institutions like IMF, World Bank, WTO are there to secretly promote the interests of the US in global economics. Tinubu goofed big time...

Resurrection212:
Kid go and wash plates or better still go put pot on fire ...instead insulting your father age mates on a faceless forum. On this Ajero is very right although I don't like his type. IMF and World bank are the agents of darkness the real enemy of third worldcountry like Nigeria.
