My guy they most likely deducted withholding tax.but paid over your VAT except it is a government agency or major oil company it would also deduct VAT.your withholding tax rate is 10% for a limited liability company or 5% if an individual or enterprise because your service is professional in nature.

Please your tax issue does not end there,you need to follow up with the company that withheld to give you an evidence of payment that you would now submit to clear your annual income tax liability whether as an induvidual or company.if the payment is not enough you pay the rest via cash

afroniger:
See this Shaki wey think say e be Beef and feeling funky with himself. I put it to you that you are a hypocrite and a big one at that. Go and tell her constituents that she hasn't made apperciable contribution as committee chairperson at the senate since they sent her to the senate to chair those committees, and when you are done explain to them how her presence on the committees have affected their lives at Lagos Central senatorial district. She was sent to the senate to represent the interests of her constituency, not to oversee committees (which are political appointments at the prerogative of the senate leadership). And also tell her constituents not to reelect her because in your judgement she hasn't achieved anything in those committees.

afroniger:
Abeg shut up jor and save your long speech for someone who gives a flip. I don't know what you are feeling like or who you even think you are self. I already made you look stuupid based on your own inconsistent ramblings. First you don't know her from nowhere, then she hasn't done anything for nobody, then you're asking me why I didn't put forward the links of some of her empowerment schemes to constituents and successful bill she marshalled in the senate much earlier. And to crown it all, I am supposedly on her payroll just because I exposed your hypocrisy, ehn no problem, on whose payroll are you? If I must be on her payroll for busting your hypocrisy, then you must also be on somebody's payroll for trying so freaking hard to defame her. So on whose payroll are you?

DollarAngel:
Our roads are congested with cars, it's either the ferry below or nothing. Most Ikorodu people don't have cars

afroniger:
Stfu jo. You are such a hypocrite. And who are your own paymasters? Those opposing her and eyeing her sit I guess , since you claim I am on her payroll for exposing your hypocrisy. It's not my fault that you exposed your own bias by deliberately presenting a one-sided and negative impression of her representation in both the senate and her constituency.

afroniger:
Laudate you are smarter than this so I am not buying this your retort, plus you didn't have to be rude. I have as much right to support her or any other person just as you have the right to oppose them. I will keep pointing out the hypocrisy of the likes of you and the Op. You admitted to 'knowing nothing about the woman', yet you were brazen when you said 'she has not rendered anything to anybody'. In the same breathe you are aware that she atleast raised some bills that were not successful in the Senate. If you could dig-up such information about her activities at the senate, you could have spared the same effort in finding out about her activities at her Lagos Central Senatorial district? Her records are there for anyone who is willing to find them. Anyway, I seriously doubt that her constituents will agree with you guys because ultimately they will be the ones to decide her political fate and not armchair e-critics.

Lagos waterways… A hidden treasure untapped | 07 October 2016 |

For a maritime operator, Captain Ishola Adewale, to ensure a better appreciation of water transport in the state, there should be adequate publicity on the advantages of water transport over other modes of transport, including its availability, safety, comfort and quick delivery time. He also insisted on dredging of the waterways for better navigation.

He said, “The issue of the waterways being dredged to make it navigable, is important. The state also needs to ensure that there are jetties on the routes and create awareness to encouraging people to use water transport; to let people know that they can save a lot of time, using the waterways than using road with the hectic traffic jams”.

He continued, “There should be a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement that will enable government to provide conducive environment for operators, to take full advantage of the opportunities. For instance, government can bring in good and efficient boats, then allow the private sectors to run them. I think that would be a good way forward”.

He also suggested the provision of navigation buoys along dredged routes to make navigation better. This, he said, would allow the captains to know the deep and shallow ends on the routes, adding, “They need to mark the channels so that people will know where to pass.”

On the water surface are waste products, floating and moving in different directions. The operators say such waste objects could get hooked to the engine of the boat, and create untoward consequences including damaging the engine.

Majority of those who operate the canoes and fibre boats are young people, who also live in the small island communities, that dot the Liverpool and Ojo areas of Lagos.

According to one of the operators, the business is not bad in spite of the challenges. On the average, he takes home N6,000 and N10,000 a day depending on the level of patronage. He also said that though fibre boats run faster compared to wooden boats, most of the local operators prefer the wooden boats because they are more durable. He says wooden boats suffer less damage when they hit any hard object.

The Managing Director of Holywabab Nigeria Enterprises, Mr. Kudus Idris, whose company is into building of fibre boats, stated that he charges between N280,000 and N300,000 to construct a 15-seater fibre boat, which takes two weeks to finish.

Repair and servicing of boat engines are other aspects of waterways economy. This is besides those who engage in fishing. One of the elders of Nanti Village, Chief Esau Aduralokun said fishing business is, however, dying out, as only the elder members of the communities along that stretch of the lagoon engage in it. The young ones, he said, are not interested in fishing any more, preferring instead in search of white-collar jobs.

However, if you want to experience the pounding surf of the Lagos Lagoon, you only need to open your window, if you are in the waterfronts of Ikoyi or Victoria Island, and see members of the boat club.

According to Abayomi Sonuga, owner of Bras Motors, there are many like him who are not able to live their dream and fulfill their aspiration, because they are discouraged by the lack of mooring opportunities — where to park their boats.

“The few boat clubs in Lagos — Apapa Boat Club, Lagos Auto Boat Club and Civic Centre Boat Club — the problem, which members face is lack of after sales service, availability of spare parts and engineers. They also don’t enjoy that full complement of owning boats, because our waterways are dirty, so, the boats suffer a lot of over heating, and most of the time, they are down,” he said.

The Lagos-born investor revealed that what should be a pleasure ride very often results in agony driving round Lagos, largely due to traffic gridlock. “We need to encourage people who are investing in our marine transport. Recently, government placed a 70 per cent duty on boat and marine related import. Marine transportation is key to unlocking our potentials even in other sectors, and to reduce the losses.

What is happening in Apapa is very instructive, with the total lockdown that is reported there, for some time now. The Lagos State government should build jetties.

If I’m coming from VGC to the Marina or Apapa, I do not need to go on the road. You can get to Oworonshoki in 10 minutes from the Island. It takes 15 minutes to get to Ikorodu. You can get to Port Harcourt in seven hours of luxury cruising. If we have passenger boats that can take between 100 and 200 persons to these destinations, that would be very good. Every year, the Lagos state government stages a regatta to complement the aquatic environment of the state; it should not stop there. Investors in water transport will provide more employment,” he quipped.

equalgarden:
Why can't let individual have a license to operate a ferry and give them term and safety rule

three:
Lagos needs proper ferries that can transport hundreds of cars and hundreds of people at once.

But LASG will not because - who will pay toll gate?

afroniger:
You and the Op are doing a very poor job at justifying your personal dislike for this woman because out of all the lawmakers representing Lagos you just had to pick on Oluremi Tinubu. And i think most forumers can see through this. When will you guys beam your searchlights on the activities and performances of the other Lagos representatives so that people can objectively appraise her compared to the others representing the state? First the Op accused her of not being an indigene, as if she's the only non-indigene representing Lagos, then you said she raised bills that failed to pass, as if it is her fault that she didn't succeed in getting the bills she raised to pass. What about the ones repping the state without even a raising a single bill?? At least she was bold enough to defend how she spends her share of the perks in question, while her peers are too timid to even acknowlege that they receive such amounts let alone justify their spending. How is that a crime? Just come out and admit that this woman's major crime is that she is affiliated to Bola Tinubu and drop this silliness. The Op is just a shameless coward who prefers to attack Tinubu by proxy. If he is serious about his crusade he should attack the system that pays the lawmakers such high perks rather than selectively attack a particular lawmaker as a pretext.

Wiseandtrue:
Alot of people in the senate have no business being there!

So OP the subject matter shouldn't be where she is from, it should be where the husband is from

Is he a Lagosian cause if he is then she is too by marriage

Irrespective of where anyone is from to me shouldn't be a case rather the service rendered to those represented should be the utmost importance

If he/she has nothing to offer then I believe the next thing is to show them the way out. No sentiment attached!

uruba23:
I try to rationalize on the reason why you want the very hard working Senator Remi Tinubu out of office but I don't see any reason other than egomaniac tendencies. How can you judge her contribution to society base on some Town hall meeting. I do think you should stop been emotional and try to be factual,moreover how many women do you have in the Senate.Uruba people and their pull down syndrome.

What would she invest the money in to, in Nigeria? Abegi una free am jooooor! This is just propaganda by the Nigerian marketers skyrocketing the cost of acquisition of the cars for their own benefit. She's only trying to cut out middlemen

FabioPeter:
I agree with the government tax initiative, I did a simple analysis/case study to show that its affordable, I advocate for accountability on the part of government, I suggest how money generated can be ploughed back to the communities.
All of it is my opinion. If you think Messi is better than CR7 and I think otherwise, does it make me a sycophant, liar, clueless?
I doubt you will use these derogatory terms if you have a similar argument with a random person at your workplace. Please respect people, they have earned it by being fellow human and more so by having a decent conversation with you.

FabioPeter:
I am not a garage tout, I engage in argument were respect is mutual. As per your questions I have my opinion/argument and it’s definitely not fact , you do not have to agree.
I do not mind sharing but this discussion must be civil. Speak to me the way you want to be spoken to.

tourplanet84:
n 2001, the average rent of a 3 bedroom flat in Gbagada & ilupeju was N300,000. today (2018) the average rent of this same 3 bedroom flat is now N1,200,000 and above. This tells you that the income of an average land lord in Lagos has gone up by 300% or more, yet the same land lord is not willing to pay more as tax. is this good? Can anybody try this in the UK? how can you be earning more money yet you want to keep paying the same tax amount?

FabioPeter:
You are too bitter to engage in rational debate. Anyway the rates have been reviewed and payment can be in installments. I wish you well.

Ugbodu Development Union UK branch -| Registered Charity Information and Projects |

Ugbodu Town lies at a latitude of 6.3793200 and longitude of 6.4585900 and it has an elevation of 241 meters above sea level. It is a Yoruba speaking community based deep in the heart of Igbo speaking communities. The village is one of six villages which trace their origin to Owo town in Ondo State of Nigeria. Ugbodu consists of four villages namely, Igwisi, Idumu-Agba, Ogoza and Idumu Ogwa.

The people through interaction and centuries of living in their present location speak both Olukumi and Igbo languages. Olukumi is the Yoruba language spoken by Owo people in present day Ondo State in Nigeria. Collectively, the six Olukumi speaking towns make up what is known as Odiani clan.

Ugbodu is the place where the East of Nigeria, meets the West of Nigeria, as this town and its other Olukumi speaking communities of Delta State of Nigeria is the only place in the whole of Nigeria which speaks both the Igbo and Yoruba languages fluently as a people. It is also one of the most deprived communities in Nigeria today.

Despite this, the town boasts of many graduates in various fields. It has produced lawyers, doctors, engineers, agriculturists, scientists, and a national beauty pageant amongst others. It also boasts of a nursery school, two primary schools, one secondary school, a hospital, a post office, several churches etc.https://juanitaazubuike./ogbodu-town/

igbodefender:
Do you know how many Ugbos are in today's Igbo Land? We have Ugbokko Araba (sounds like Idi Araba, right?), Onicha (Orissa) Ugbo, Ugboba in the Olukumi speaking epicenter and counting.

obailala:
I urge you to use your God given brains; go back and check who is wailing. I am a Nigerian, you are a Nigerian, Aunty Oby is a Nigerian, Chibok girls are Nigeria and Dapchi girls are Nigerian. CHibok girls were abducted, Oby protested against the FG of the time under GEJ. Years later, the same Oby still protested against the current FG for the same CHibok girls. Now more girls are abducted from Dapchi and the only thing you can think of is why Oby isn't leading protests?... Are you so useless in yourself that you cannot go lead the protest if protesting is all you want? Must you wait for Oby to do everything for you?

You actually just called it partiality that Oby who protested against GEj and against Buhari for chibok girls isnt leading a protest for Dapchi. Cant you see how depraved your mind is?... All your bankrupt mind can in all these which affects the lives of people is a GEJ GEJ political game. Once again, I wish your sister or your mother or your daughter is abducted too one day. I would love to see how you will be so shallow-minded to turn it to GEJ politics. A lot of people are really sick in Nigeria but they have no one to tell them.

Ritchiee:
I bet you but the Igbodefender guy is trying to bring in a link between Yoruba and Igbo which I doubt its truthfulness because of obvious reasons..

https://www.channelstv.com/wp-content/themes/channels2016/channels-logo.png

In a statement issued by the Olugbo-in-Council, the Olugbo Oba Obateru Akinruntan, said: “We, the Olugbo–in–Council, found such (Ooni’s remarks about Moremi) unguarded statements and historical fallacy disturbing, particularly when such emanated from a monarch who is expected to be a custodian of history, customs and traditions of Yorubaland. We hereby state categorically that we are Ugbos, the aboriginal settlers and owners of Ile-Ife.

“Our forefathers descended from heaven, that is why we are called ‘Ugbo Atorunwo’.

“We are not Ibos (Igbos), who are from the South-East, and who have their own clearly researched and defined ancestry. To set the record straight, Moremi remains a traitor. She was a slave captured by Ugbo warriors during one of their many raids on Ile-Ife. She later became the wife of Osangangan Obamakin, the son of Oranfe, who was the paramount ruler of over 13 aboriginal communities of ancient Ugbomokun, which later came to be called Ile- Ife”.

The statement further read: “Oduduwa came to Ugbomokun as a stranger, and was welcomed in Ilero, the aboriginal palace of Osangangan Obamakin, which is still in existence in present-day Iremo, in Ile Ife. During the dynastic struggles, Osangangan Obamakin was directed by the oracles (Ifa and Osanyin) to leave Ile Ife. Moremi betrayed her husband’s trust, when she exposed the secret of the Ugbo warriors’ gallantry.

“Popular history states that Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Ooni, migrated ..... In another account by the Oba of Benin, recently, Oduduwa came from Benin. We ask that the Ooni should confirm his ancestral roots. It is also of importance to note that in the ancient custom of Yoruba, an incumbent king must have no living father. Also, no man from a female lineage of a ruling house is qualified to sit on the throne”. https://www.channelstv.com/2016/12/04/royal-controversy-ooni-ife-olugbo-ugbo-supremacy-battle/

Klinee:
Olukumi for me is more of Igala than Yoruba, their language sound more deviant Igala language.
Though their language is very difficult for an average Igala man to understand and they very closer to Igala than Yoruba.
But in Olukumi town like Ugbodu and Okunzu they are bilingual speaking olukumi language and Igbo language fluently. The 'Olukumi' as a word, I believe is an Igala word which means 'my friend'
Secondly there is no sign of Yoruba culture in their land, their names is purely Igbo, their culture is purely Igbo.
I remember visited the town Ugbodu taken a bike from Issele uku, en route Onisha uku down to Ugbodu.
I recall visiting the Paramount ruler of Ugbodu town the Odogwu of Ugbodu.
In 'Olukumi' father is refer as Bami, mother is refer to as Yami.
If I say 'mu pure water wa' means 'bring pure water come'
'Bu iji rumi' cut firewood for me
'maa ko iji ru' you people should park firewood

obailala:
Must you wait for aunty Oby to do everything for you?... Is she the only Nigerian out there?... Are your own legs broken to go lead the protests?... Are you not also a Nigerian like Oby?... Or could it be you are a vampire who's got no value for human life?... What kind of humans do we even breed in Nigeria?

A lot of morally depraved humans only see things from the shallow perspective of politics and nonsense sentiments. How I wish one of your sisters or daughters were among those kidnapped in Chibok or Dapchi; would truly have been interesting seeing how you would also insult Oby by viewing her campaigns only from the myopic perspective of GEJ vs Pmb politics.
