Coward, go and get your "you can now see that I'm not Yoruba" Award!

Eeyah! Stop this false notion you have here. You are the one that thinks there is an award somewhere. I don't need you or anyone else on this forum, to make my points. I already know who I am. I don't need people like you to tell me who I am not.

And for you to ascertain "am not Yoruba," you have been following or digging up my posts. You get time, oh!

wytecat:
Are you still on heat? Itch!

Who are your people? Oh the unmentionable!

You now need validation from "everyone" spineless piece of shitt!

Need validation, ke? From who? Don't make me laugh. By referring to yourself, as a 'spineless piece of shitt',...you have finally landed in the neurotic category. Keep up the good work!

wytecat:
My people raised me to stand up for what's right, and do it well even to the last man standing.

Yours raised you to walk on your head and blow wherever the wind blows. Shame on you.

Hahaha ... I cannot see evidence that your people raised you to stand up for what is right.

Everyone can see however, that you were raised "to walk on your head and blow wherever the wind blows". The mudslinging you have just unleashed within this thread, proves it. Pity!

pazienza:
Lol, typical of your type. You must insult others to make yourself feel good, right?

How exactly is wishing for Odua republic for Yorubas the same as subjecting them to ridicule? Is the demand for Odua republic by a Yoruba equivalent to self hate?

You have obviously failed to answer any of my questions, preferring to rather engage in ad hominem.


Yorubatic remains Yoruba until proven otherwise.

There was nothing insulting in my posts. But your mind has been so attuned to insults, that you see any remark as one.

By the way, why are you taking panadol for another man's headache?? Let the Yoruba people tell you en bloc, if they want Odua republic or not. So why do you keep asking me questions that have nothing to do with me?

As for Yorubatic, you want to take the easy way out by assigning him to the yoruba people even when it is so obvious that he is one of your Igbo internet bashing army. Hehehehehe .....

wytecat:
Programmed can, aside repeating after me, do you have a mind of your own? If no, what's the point of your naked dance in the market? I thought you can really do something with the way you kept following and calling me out, toothless aggressor, shameless dunce! The joke is on you!

Pity. Your folks did their best I'm sure, and tried to raise you well, but you obviously refused to imbibe the tenets of a good upbringing.

Your propensity for self-hatred is so astounding. Why do you keep describing yourself using such uncomplimentary terms, like 'toothless aggressor, programmed can and shameless dunce'? Is that how much you dislike the person you are??

wytecat:
That's exactly what you wanted as a coward that you are.

How did we get here? I know you have memory of an ant, if not you won't be bathing in your waste just to convince those who don't give a rat asss behind who you are.

Go and sit your stuppid behind down where it belongs!

I'm not the only one here but you opportunistic ninny thinks that I won't have time for you cos I had said I was at work, shame on you iddiott!

The venom you just spilled here, shows the filth in your mind.

For you to make reference to 'bathing in one's waste', means you have obviously done it before. Am not interested in learning about how you did it, but it obviously gives you a high, which is why you alluded to it.

The 'memory of an ant' that you brought up here, is also something you know about. Pray tell, does it bear any resemblance to your own??

And the words, 'coward, stupid, iddiot, opportunistic ninny,' you used up there, describe you perfectly to a 'T'.

Thanks for letting us know how much you hate yourself.

One last word: If I was interested in the opinion of the Igbo (which am not), you would not have any say in it. So stop whining and belly aching. Get a life!

What an easy way out! I respond to you in kind, so go and preach to the house choir. You can only hit on a dead cat friend! I see you for what you are, and that's an unintelligent sissy trying to be smart.

Just because Ibos called you Yoruba, you have to use me to change their minds, are you crazy?

You are still spoiling for a fight. And I truly feel truly sorry for you!

Now why on earth would I need to use you?? To achieve what, exactly? Are you the only person on NL? Or the most sensible? You obviously have an over-inflated sense, of your own self-importance. For someone who claims to be at work, you certainly have a lot of time to spew out meaningless responses.

As I warned you before, you are too small for me to fight.

And as much as you want to roll in the mud, flinging gutter language and insults around, I will NOT oblige you. Seek like-minded folks like yourself, who get high at the promise of a fight, to engage with. Believe me, you do NOT want to get involved in a cyberwar with me. You will not survive it.

Continue with your fake peace-making endeavour on NL. I wish you luck.

This Alpha Beta issue has been dragging on for a long time.

Just read excerpts from this article:

Lagos State Finances and Alpha Beta Ltd
_{By Seyi Olu Awofeso}

Lagos state finances continue to nag curious Lagos residents, especially after a federal Senate investigation in 2011 returned a verdict of Lagos’ indebtedness of $460 million – equivalent to half as much again of the state’s yearly financial revenue, excluding other gross liabilities on the back of the over-expansion of the size of Lagos government with huge future consequences on the state’s pension bills.

Taking a cue, and sensing a cover-up, a Lagos resident (Dr. Ademola Dominic) petitioned the Lagos State government directly on the 24th of October 2012, asking for a disclosure of public accounts as pertain the tax consultancy fee the Lagos State government pays out monthly to a private company named Alpha Beta Consulting Limited.

Dr. Dominic, as Petitor, invoked the Freedom of Information Act and demanded as follows:-

· “I wish to know how the taxes, revenue, finances of the State accrue, are managed, and disbursed in Lagos State and do hereby apply, to you, by yourselves, agents, servants etc. to access and request to be made available to me by you, all information, CTC’s of Files, records, Contract Agreements/Documents, in respect of the said Contract/Agreement entered into between the Government of Lagos State and, the Company, Alpha Beta Consulting Limited, mandating the Company to assess and collect on behalf of the Government all Taxes and Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) due, payable and paid by the Government and its agencies and all the commissions due, payable and paid by the government to the Company and received by the Company since the announcement of the Contract/Agreement for my perusal and scrutiny pursuant to Section 2, 3(3)m, o, 5, 6, 7, 9, & 10 of the Provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2011 (F.O.I) as Replicated/Domesticated in Lagos State of Nigeria. My request is basically to let me know the monthly returns of the taxes and Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) generated, accrued, collected and paid to the Government and commissions received from Government or its agencies by the Company since inception of the contract”.

According to Dr. Dominic’s petition for account, “the Government of Lagos State boasts of internally generated revenue of about N40 billion every month; translating into a commission of N6 Billion being paid to Alpha Beta Consulting Ltd, also every month, which sum i consider unfavourable and outrageous to me as a tax payer and Citizen of Lagos State”.

In public eyes, the offending company - Alpha Beta (Consulting) Limited – is putatively owned by Alhaji Bola Tinubu - the past Lagos Governor – who’d handpicked Raji Fashola in 2007 as the Action Congress governorship candidate in Lagos by riding roughshod over the party’s constitution's requirement for a sensible primary election.

In his proxy reply to Dr. Dominic, dated November 5th, 2012, Raji Fashola treated Dr. Dominic’s petition as the occasion to return the personal compliments for his sly preferment by Bola Tinubu.

Here is how. In a reply cutting close to the bone, the Lagos State government tersely told Dr. Dominic that his petition for accounts would not be answered and no Alpha Beta Limited invoices or payment vouchers will be disclosed. It was so dismissively written by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice and signed by Olanrewaju Akinsola - a Special Senior Assistant on Justice Sector Reforms in the Office of the Attorney-General.

In terms, that November 5th reply letter conveyed Lagos State’s stance to treat Lagos finances as personal funds rather than as usufructuary asset that it is.

To back its refusal, Raji Fashola’s government declared in its reply letter to Dr. Dominic’s petition that Nigeria’s Freedom of Information Act does not apply to Raji Fashola’s government in Lagos because the right to public information is a law made by the National Assembly in Abuja, without any effect in Lagos State, since the Lagos House of Assembly did not enact it.

Shorn of all intellectual pretence to “true federalism” that Raji Fashola queerly but defensively invoked, the long and the short of it is that Lagos State residents are pointed told they have no right to know the revenue and expenditure accounts of their government under Raji Fashola’s government.

In effect, and for the first time in Nigerian history, an elected government declares non-accountability as its governing principle by readying to brazen out the direr consequences. http://saharareporters.com/2013/02/03/lagos-state-finances-and-alpha-beta-ltd-seyi-olu-awofeso

Why is the state government till date scared of disclosing the total amount expended annually on Alpha Beta from the time they were engaged until now??

Demdem:
what else do u want from FIRS if not that. i care less about other peeps views. am attending to u because u keep quoting me. stay clear.

Na God I take beg you... don't bring FIRS into this issue! Many of our tax officials are soulless, clueless, greedy neanderthals whose sole aim is to cripple a business, especially if such a business is an SME.

Their criteria for tax assessment is as changeable as the weather. And a lot of them are so corrupt, that it is mind boggling!

Thanks to the antics of tax officials in Lagos, a lot of businesses have closed down and moved to Ogun State, next door.

Fowler was obviously appointed to head FIRS in order to replicate the Alpha beta nonsense they did in Lagos.

Laid2001:
This is a perfect fit for the change coming. We should sit back and experience a quatum increase in internally generated revenue of the FGN. This guy is one of the brains behind the manifold increase in the Lagos state IGR from a paltry 600million naira per month to 20billion per month as at 2014.

Many mumu will say that Alpha bitta charges are too much but would you rather have N0.6Bil without them as opposed t0 N20bil after charges!.

Abeg, Alpha Beta have earned the money they charge the Lagos state government.

Please do not say what you do not know!! What did Alpha Beta do? And how much tax did Alpha Beta themselves pay to the state govt on income earned from the so-called services they offered?

How come with all the so-called work they did a high percentage of the Lagos State revenue still ends up in Tinubu's pocket??

wytecat:
Nothing small about me, You are just too timid to take the plunge. You already have one leg in, so make up your mind, ode.

You are really spoiling for a fight. And that says a lot about the kind of person you are. My Yoruba friends are 'Omoluabi' with personal dignity to boot, who would NOT dream of pulling the kind of stunt you seem bent on doing here.

Am not Yoruba however, so I will not take panadol for your headache, even though I have had cause in the past to defend your people against the nonsense spewed forth by other tribes.

Be careful. You are the myopic one who seems to believe that silence is a weakness, or that it signifies timidity.

Among discerning folks, silence is a weapon. Trust me, you do NOT want to intrude on my space.

I know where you are going with this, and your hot and cold ain't going to coat it, I'm waiting for you though.

Nah.... you are too small for me to fight!

Ioannes:
....... I am not saying you guys shouldn't go if you want to, But do it without spewing hatred, the kind that nnamdi kanu is doing. as forth question you asked, Yes they do have businesses there I suppose, But they weren't going about the whole thing with such bitter hatred, asking Scottish people to kill English people. So even if they had been given Scotland they would still be in good standing with their neighbours, the English people. BTW, Thanks for your civil response.

Do it without spewing hatred, ke?? You are asking the impossible! Do you know those you are talking to?? Hehehe....

pazienza:
Are you saying that Yorubatic is not Yoruba because he promotes Odua republic and tries to get Yorubas to support Odua republic agitation and realization.

Are you by any means insinuating that being pro Odua republic is anti Yoruba? ie Yorubas are inlove with one Nigeria, and wouldn't want an Odua republic, and therefore would consider all pro Odua republic comments anti Yoruba?

Cos I know that I consider any pro Biafran person and comments to be pro Igbo.

I say it again emphatically, Yorubatic is NOT Yoruba! Achòḷù ̣m̀ kà ị ghọdo ife m nà-èkwu òf̣ ụma..

His deceitful style of promoting Odua republic is only to hold the South-west people up to ridicule, reproach and insults. Check all his posts and see the self-deprecating, self-hating way he uses to stylishly attract opprobrium, to those he claims to support. If that is your alternate moniker, seek a psych eval and get help.

Now, abeg swerve because I really don't have time for your juvenile, pathetic level of reasoning today.

wytecat:
You are a learner, just get off my mention now!

And you shouldn't address anyone with "man" if you don't know their gender.

Hehehe... who is holding your mentions? You did not state your gender, so if you want people to address you as a lady, Sisi or madam, then kindly update your profile. Mtcheew!

mahyowah:
rubbish! Biafra, Odua whatever cannot stand. Nigeria will stand. May God deal with those who are foolishly and selfishly clamouring for division. God bless Nigeria.

Hehehehe! I laugh in Greek! You are responding to Yorubatic?? That certified loony bin from Ala'Igbo, who uses deception, hypocrisy and tricks to pretend he is speaking for the Yoruba people, when his sole aim is to expose them to ridicule??!

Chai! Do you know how many Igbo people have registered with Yoruba sounding usernames on this forum, just to launch hate-filled attacks against your people?? Or just to wallow in deceit and hypocritical self-hate, while pretending to accept all the so-called evil character flaws ascribed to Yoruba people??

I thought you guys were wiser than this, and could see through their tricks! Hehehe...... o di egwu!

wytecat:
All points! At work and on phone. The middle of my post was to address another topic, but for some reasons it got mixed up. Hey, it's Ibos we are talking about so I didn't bother cleaning it up, they deserve every one of them as a refuse dump they are anyway.

So if it is Igbo people you are talking about, does that entitle you to release hate missiles in their direction. Do unto others as you want them to do to you! Think man, think!

Oshogbo or Lagos, still all Yoruba affairs, and none of your business.

I'm not interested in your talking.points, just facts.

Who is notorious for human flesh eating? Ibos!

Which part of Nigeria was the first human slaughter house discovered? iboland!

Who stash dead bodies in closets for human consumption? Ibos!

Restaurants with human flesh is only found in iboland.

These are evil things you exported to other parts of Nigeria, own it and stop talking rubbish.

Maybe if you can stop being slaves to ijaws of yesterday, you would know what it means to walk before running. Iddioot always trying to fix square pegs in round hole.

Haba!! You started well in the first line, and ended very badly with your hate-filled epistle. Must you sink to his gutter-denominated level??

If you must respond to him, do so without insulting the Igbo. Everyone knows that Xtrose is obsessed with the Yoruba. His hate-filled neurotic addiction needs a fix to sustain it every single day, that is why he is compelled to launch attacks against the Yoruba, in order to get his fix!

Just pity him. Such folks are beyond help.

What about the air suspension system (i.e. the balloons?)

rman:
I know they will not agree with your post but your are the only reasonable individual here.

See as everybody shouts profits not knowing this is an industry that continues to drop prices even when operating cost /cost of diesel isn't dropping over the years. This is an industry that almost all the operators are laying of staff codedly because it isn't as rosy as it use to be. This is the only industry that pays tax for the same base station to three tiers of government (LGA, state and fg).
If nothing changes soon, Nigerians will be shocked because no where in the world are operators generating their own power, running their own fibre, providing their own security for base stations.

Government folds her hands and do nothing but collects money and the people think they should not make profit because they are in business. The same people shouting profit are the ones hacking the systems in collaboration with insiders (cheats),using cheats daily(non revenue generating traffic) and the number is massive.

In the last two years, the year on year profit of these operators are actually going down apart from Etisalat. If something isn't done many more will become unemployed because things are definitely not as rosy as Nigerians think for these operators.

Guy, then let them form a pressure group and approach govt directly on the amount of taxes being paid to the 3 levels of govt. This should be harmonised at one source!

Secondly, they should deploy better and more advanced information security systems to get rid of hackers and cheats. Proper monitoring and surveillance can resolve this and they know it.

The trick is always to be one step ahead, of the intruders.

One of the reasons their profit is going down, is because most of the telcos enjoyed a 10-year tax-holiday pioneer status from inception, which came to an end about 2-3 years ago. Instead of them to have made provision for the tax liability from inception, they failed to do so. And now they are bearing the brunt!

All said and done, they are still making money from Nigerian subscribers despite the poor services. Their profit still outweighs the expenses they have incurred.

The reason why wages and co., in the telecom companies are dropping is varied. One of them is that the telcos do not want anything to affect their pre-defined profit margin, so they would rather reduce wages and other expenses.

Secondly, inflation has caught up in a big way with what the purchasing power of those earning those wages. What 100k used to buy in the past, 350k cannot buy it anymore these days.

We have filling stations and we run a gen evryday, thats 40 litres tops everyday, while I agree that its on the high side, you have to bare in mind that these guys charge the highest for services 70 percent of which arent rendered at all, they enjoy near monopoly status in the country
evade taxes, and engage in capital flight as all their profits are shipped to their home countries abroad, the only thing we get from them are the paltry wages and occasional handouts no thing more, theres no development , no tech transfer, imagine even things like bottled water are imported from sa, so our local content is excluded from their business.

Bros, hold brake..! Haba! There is no single telco that imports bottled water from South Africa (SA). To do what, now??

There is tech transfer...to a certain level. Don't joke with our telecoms boys, oh. I remember as a very young corper when MTN was rolling out its base stations, they had thought it would take our local engineers about 12 months to learn GSM technology and grasp the rudiments of erecting towers/masts and setting up base stations. Omo, they were shocked when our engineers started installing base transceiver stations on their own, unsupervised within 3 months and those BTS sites were fully functional!

Those white SA engineers used to marvel. One of the local teams was also mandated to get local alternatives to site equipment, which used to be imported. Within 8 months, about 65% of the equipment on the BTS sites was being fabricated locally or sourced in-country.

When it comes to telecoms, we have local engineers that can hold their own with the best teams anywhere in the world!

nusta:
It is often difficult to believe a one sided allegation.

Dont mind those Indians. How many of their companies operating in Nigeria pay the correct tax??

But this allegation should be properly investigated, and fully resolved. If the Indian company failed to meet a specific criteria for getting the oil concession, then it should be communicated to them in writing. If the signature bonus is refundable, then it should be refunded.

If it is not, then it should be stated clearly to them why it has been forfeited.

For those who are wary of the danger of fire outbreaks at the station, let me allay your fears by stating that it is quite hard for a gas station to be engulfed in flames, if the basic safety principles are adhered to.

Guy, stop exaggerating. It is not hard for a gas station to be engulfed in flames. If you have ever seen drivers of LPG trucks involved in accident (that occurred due to no fault of theirs,') lose their lives .... you will never make this remark.

If you have ever seen a gas tank or gas station go up in flames, you will think twice, before making this statement. Anything can set off a spark...even a mobile phone ringing.

Then when you talk of gas leaks and the harmful effects.... you will not talk of LPG gas in such a nonchalant way.

Not everyone should own a gas plant, or dabble into LPG gas business. It is not like kerosene or DPK, that you can wipe off, if there is a spill.

It is a pity that you cannot recognise sarcasm. Instead of asking your folks to be more respectful and deploy good manners, you want those who have been viciously insulted by your people, to turn the other cheek and respond the way Detosho did? Chai! What gives them the right to be so vindictive?
