misspicy:Abeg, come make we stage our marriage with pictures of before, during and after...I dey wait oh, make you no break my gentle-gentle heart oh...this is our chance to go viral and cash on the exposure. ![]() |
marylandcakes:Google her real name which is: Sonia Obahan, there are lots of unsavory stories about her, plus she was formerly married to Gov. Saminu Turaki of Jigawa, there are some back story about her breakup with the Governor and the sandal that lead to it..., also rumors of date with a Reputable Senator and might have been still married to Eli Khoury from Dubai leading to her marriage to the Ooni. |
Anyone going through the current 'Change' that APC promised us during the last election will not think twice before casting a protest vote against APC. Plus, APC is over reaching, how do they expect to win in Rivers State? That is why the US will always ahead if us, during elections, there are solid blue states, solid red states and toss up states...most vigorous fights are done on toss up states and not the solid ones...I think Rivers is solid PDP in the same Soloto is solid APC. |
lonelydora:They should close down all prisons and jail then, going by your yardstick, since no amount of jail time given to people who are sent there repairs, restores or bring back the ill they have cause. ....or the government should pardon everyone that sincerely repents, apologies and truly sorry for the ill they cause and send them on their merry way home....mtcheeee |
StPete:You see your life! You saw the golden ticket to fp and failed to make a better use of it. Opportunity comes but ones. You would have been an instant celebrity with fp achievement permanently etched in your resume, but it will never be, because you failed in the very face of the task that would have made you great and famous albeit on Nairaland. |
There are more snakes where that came from, you have to deal with their habitat; otherwise, this will not be the only encouter. |
Jacko1:I noticed that, especially the tattoos... I remember that Islam do not take likely to tattoos...infact there is a curse on anyone who does them, but I no wan raise religious sensitive topic....so make we close eyes and pretend say those side no dey, then appreciate her beauty and wish them the very best... http://www.muslimconverts.com/cosmetics/tattoos.htm |
But which kind truth the Judge wan come establish, the two people wey marry come before you come talk say, them done tire, abia na by force? The only thing left is to determine custody, child support and alimony, where necessary. |
Is that an Airport or homeless people abode? The sorry site of this "International" Airport made me to research the makeup of an International Airport, only to find out that even NCAA have not certified a single Airport in Nigeria.... http://allafrica.com/stories/201601221263.html Not to talk of IATA and ICAO certifications. |
I do not think teens process or understand the words 'hate' and 'love' with the same gravity, weight and depth as adults......hate is usually translated to dislike and love to lust or flirtation, as they grow; their level of understanding will be enhanced...even some of us adult find it difficult to separate love from lust. However, the most important thing is their circle of friends and upbringing as they matures...some refuse to grow out of that teenage myopic understanding, depending on their circle of friends and upbringing thereby corrupting their adult understanding and application of those emotions. For your little sister, it appear she is surrounded by people that care much about her; your approach is notable, continue in that line, tell your mother to also calm down. The bitter truth is, as we pass through puberty, adults and our parents cannot 'save' from every negativity out there...sometimes our curiosity takes the better part of us (which is good, God put curiosity in us for good purpose, so we can think outside the box) and we experiment with somethings and experience first hand that, our actions were bad afterall ....as they say, experience is the best teacher. Little kids are attracted to fire and despite the best efforts of their parents to prevent them from touching the lamp/fire from fear of getting burnt, majority of kids do not take hinder until they have actually touched the fire/lamp, and get burnt and that experience is valuable in chanting a corrective course within their subconsciousness. Also, that moment of getting burnt is a valuable moment, where their brains will connect the pains they now feel to the previous multiple warnings of their parents not to touch. This experience is very powerful and the lesson is eternal and wouldn't have come about, if they had not tried and failed. Bottom line, keep doing what you are doing; but also know that, you can't protect her from all and every negativity out there, some day she will be on her own and protecting her like an egg only to release her into the world without some independent actions or choice or growth process of her own will be a great de-service to her and part of that process entails her getting some first hand experiences even she have to make some mistakes and learn by those experiences. However, you should always be there to reinforce the positives, and if she stumbles be quick to give her assistance and encouragement, she will definitely notice the difference; assure her that, you meant good for her and that whatever happens, she can always come to you....As for that dairy and it's content, I wouldn't loss a sleep over it. |
The irony is, this is the same government that is banning the importation of certain materials and denying Forex to others, in the name of forcing those manufacturers to source these item locally. The resultant effect is, since these materials are not readily available cost have gone up. If the government cannot abide by it's own policies but instead decide to import PMS, what moral justification do they have to burden the masses with high prices? |
PeteVlogger:You sure say you no bi comedian so? So you want make them hold placard dey demonstrat for street? UK just like Nigeria is a sovereign country and as such have every right to engineer and change policies that will selfishly benefit them, even if it is to the demetriment of every other country. Wey Nigeria bad gay and ascribe 10 prison terms to such person, most of the western world voiced their displeasure but did not participate in any protest. |
PeteVlogger:And what will the ambassador do about this? This is a new UK immigration policy that affects immigrants from every country filing for indefinite leave to stay, Nigeria was not singled out. The worst that the affected countries, like Nigeria can do is to enact compensatory immigration policies along the same lines to affect British Citizens within their border. |
slimfit1:Don't worry, that is going to soon hit your pocket hard....if you are doing any project in Nigeria now, materials have gone up by about 33%. Next round is these people and landlords to start gradually increase house rent and prices of other stuff we have come to take for granted. |
Ginaz:It was unintentional, hence she is getting off almost scud free, with a meager five years sentence. If it were intentional, she would been facing the hangman noose, or life imprisonment. |
President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday, made good his threat to deal ruthlessly with top civil servants who altered figures in the 2016 budget thereby making nonsense of his zero budget plan. No fewer than 184 top budget officials were flushed out of budget duties and sent to establishments that have little or nothing to do with budget, as a punishment for their roles in padding this year’s fiscal document, now before the National Assembly. A top official in the Budget office confirmed that 22 top officers from the Budget Office of the Federation were affected in the mass deployment. The rest were moved away from budget-related duties in other Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs. Vanguard learnt that out of the 22 top officials indicted in the budget office, four were directors on Level 17, six were deputy directors while 12 were Assistant directors. As the affected officials were moved from their posts in the Budget Office, 14 other directors said to have been ‘tested’ have been redeployed to the same office with immediate effect. The order to remove the tainted officials from their previous posts to other duties, was conveyed to the affected offices by the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation, according to finding by Vanguard. All the affected officers, according to the directive, are to report in their new locations on or before the close of work today. When contacted, the Media Adviser to the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Mr. Akpadem James, confirmed the development but declined to give further details. It would b recalled that while in Saudi Arabia last month, President Buhari had threatened to punish all those who were involved in the padding of the budget. Apart from removing the director of budget, he also merged the budget office with the planning ministry. -By Soni Daniel, Northern Region Editor (from: http://odili.net/news/source/2016/mar/10/346.html) Lalasticlala come see wetin Buhari do oh! |
sweetcocoa:I guess you meant, the make up is beautiful, cos that is all I am seeing... |
Pishure of the teacher writing it, with her "certified" certificate that you alluded to, beside him/her, else I donbiliv it. |
baby124:I understand LLC/s-Corp/c-corp taxation... You hit the nail in the head when you state that, businesses can use expenses to reduce or limite their tax reliability, but you diverted when you summise that she might be incorporated in Nigeria or might be paying taxes, or that she might not be avoiding taxes, etc. Her setup is exactly how shell foreign companies hide their foreign income from taxation. It is now illegal not to report foreign bank accounts in IRS tax filings and with BVN, it is very easy for IRS to find people who hide their accounts with significant amounts, they did that in highly secretive Swiss banks and can do it in Nigeria. What did she do? She ask Pearl to pay all payments coming from Nigeria in Pearl's personal account. That is not the typical behavior of a Nigeria incorporated company, even if she does not want to get a corporate bank account, why not open a personal one and have all payments go into it? Does it have anything to do with IRS requirement to report all foreign accounts? Also, from her comments, N40m plus another $15k were missing and she did not know until she read the girl's txt messages, that is more than $150k, which means, she must have been commanding much more than that amount in trades...I think IRS will be interested in that level of international transaction....As you said, she can make up expenses to cover all that amount, while all her money is in someone else personal account that she cannot report to IRS...and you do not see any deception or attempt to avoid taxation in that? |
RichYoungNigger:www.nairaland.com/attachments/3481716_pointblurmar102016134407_jpeg2585a40696f7de3d117f7fbadf443495 O boy you kind dey lie oh! How can it be 8:18am in Nigeria and 1am in New York/12am in Chicago, when Nigeria is only 6 hrs ahead of EST and 7hrs ahead of CST? |

baby124:They are two different revenue streams, taxes paid abroad can only offset taxes assessed on the foreign earned income....e.g. if Nigeria taxed the income you earned in Nigeria, the US is not going to give you credit towards that tax on your US earned income....The IRS will calculate your tax liability for that foreign income and if the amount is greater or equal to the amount already paid in taxes in Nigeria, then your US tax liability for the foreign earned income will be zero, otherwise you will be assessed taxes on that foreign income just like on your US income. And it can not be negative i.e. it can not have an effect of reducing your already assessed tax on incomes earned within the US. If the business is incorporated, the taxing policy are different depending if it is an LLC, S-corp or C-corp...and yes there is still double taxation in the US especially C-corps. |
Favolly:She is liable for estimated taxes, which is a form of withholding only that, IRS trust you as the business owner to remit the correct estimated amount, if there is a variance between amount remitted via estimation and IRS computed amount on tax day and that amount is great that IRS set threshold, you will be assessed a penalty by IRS. US citizens and Residents are required to pay taxes on all foreign incomes. It also appear that, Pearles was more than, she was an employee of her in Nigeria, she controls everything and what need to be done and how the money have to be use, that is not how agent vs supplier relationship functions. I have to say though, if she had been savvy there are legal ways to defer foreign income or profits for 10s of years and still not pay a dime in taxes in the US. |
Despite knowing that, this is a fake story, I felt compelled to comment... Your gf Anita, is an Ashawo of the highest order....from knowing James to fvcking to coming out, you said 30 minutes? Even if she is a prostitute, from the time she meet her new customer, to price negotiation, to removing her clothes and to the start and end of the bedmatics, 30 mins would have passed, I don't care if James is a one minute wonder, it would have taken more than 30 minutes... Abeg marry her, she is a keeper; both of complete each other...BTW, you did not tell us what you were doing for that 30 minutes, recording her moaning sounds? |
When you were 20, 25 or even 30, you were not remorseful or apologetic, now that you are 40-menopause, you come crying for forgiveness, love and closure. Sorry babe, opportunity come but once; you blew your chances. FYI, Ngozi took over when you left me heart broken, Yes! Ngozi your best friend; we moved out of Lagos together hence you didn't see her again...she is the sugar in my tea and have given birth to two beautiful angels for me. We are happy and love each other, go find your own. |
mapet:The Nigeria constitution as you have quoted only gives a general guideline to collect taxes on income, the constitution did not specify what income level should be taxed neither did it stipulate what percentage to tax or how frequent it should...all that and minimum standard of living is left to elected representatives to iron out plus the detail tax policies...The constitution did not forbids the representative from establishing minimum standards or making progressive tax policies...they can choose to tax certain income level at 30%, others at 0.0001% and even do a positive redistribution to some low income earners to offset their tax bills. The US tax code as outlined in the 16th amendment is similar to that of Nigeria and it says..."The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration" When the US congress start setting the actual tax policies, they put in provisions to take care of the feeble, weak, low income earners, people living below poverty line, income redistribution at tax filing, etc; despite the fact that the constitution did not specifically say they should do that. If America can take care of her poor and weak citizens through her tax code, Nigerian legislatives can do likewise and there is absolutely nothing in the Nigeria constitution that forbids them from adding such policies into existing tax laws. If you look at the economic of scale, the revenue realized from a tax increase of e.g. 0.001% on the very rich can be close to the same amount realized from about 99% tax on the very poor in Nigeria...common sense tax policy will tell you that laws forgiving low income earners their tax liabilities and instead redistributing that liability to top income earners by just increasing their top rate by a few fractional percentage points makes perfect sense and it is progressive. |
mapet:O boy, I like your enthusiasm; the Nigeria you painted above is still under going the rebirth process. When dem nofa fit distribute national ID cards for more than 5 years now, na mama ego food sellers them want wan fit profile across the breadth of Lagos? And you must have a full faith in government that, all monies collected from these transit food seller and mini business owners will be accurately accounted for and remitted. Though, you are wrong to insinuate that, paying tax is the responsility of everyone. It is not even done that way in industrialized and even ultra capatalistic societies. Taxation policies should be an instrument of government to establish minimum living standards across it's people, it should also serve as an economic equalizer, else it becomes repressive to many....Many citizens who fall at this minimum income borderline should not be made to pay taxes, as doing so will that takes below the sustainability threshold...and those whose income are below this borderline should get some redistribution from the government to push them up towards the minimum threshold. Therefore, the government should first establish minimum sustainability thresholds and build it's tax policies around it, instead of going around and chasing down every living soul for tax money, some can't simply afford to pay and government agents should not inhibit their means of livelihood as a result of that. |
Something tells me that, the directorate setup to over see this endeavor will draw more funds from government confers than they will collect in taxes. How dem go take calculate the tax liabilities of mama ego, who sells foods under eko bridge? What about the micro pure water business that Uncle Tom is running along mile 2 road? This is another means of extortion of money from petty traders who can't afford to make ends meet and the extorted monies will end up in private pockets and accounts. |
Sugahylz:I think, that is what she is trying to show i.e..."see my pant marches with my shoes". On another note, the top line of that back of her pant is dipping down, as if the pant dey carry weight like shit. |
My guy sorry eh, you do enter one chance bi that...even some cults will allow you to quite without threat of bodily harm and your financee will not even allow you to cancel the wedding? I seriously hope this is a joke and fictional or else how can you see all these signs and still want to marry this lady? If she is wiping your relatives with belt, giving you a black eyes, pushing you against the wall and even (in your own words) would have used a knife on you if one was around, etc now that she is a gf, when she is married, expect the worst. It is very obvious she is the one that wears the pant (aka trouser) in that relationship. My guy, cloth get size, look for your size. When God created marriage, he clearly says the man should be the head, if you are a lady and are in a relationship which you are the one wearing the pants, that relationship is not of God and if you are a man and it is the lady wearing the pant, check yourself and go look for your size. Love in a relationship is not everything, the truth is, the word love is abused and made to mean what it is not...Love they say is in the eyes of the beholder, meaning what you call love might be rubish to someone else and if you break it down 'love' is actually gloried sets of likes...you see a lady (or a lady sees a man) and identify sets of things in that person they like, then they 'fall' in love, the more things they find, the move great and romantic the love becomes...look well, there is another lady around the corner that you can fall in love with. Your situation is also one of the drawbacks in relationships, where sex is forbidden until after marriage. The truth is sometimes men are driven by their small head (the one in between their legs) rather than the big head...ask them and they will swear they are within reason and are in love not knowing that, it is lust...but once the small head is allowed to chop small food and then realize that, that pussy is not any special than the one you have eaten before, the small head will kool down and allow the big head to reason well. I think girls will also benefit from this, becos by giving him pussy, if he went further to propose, it means there is something else he finds attractive in you...by withholding pussy and deep down knowing that it is all the same and on the other end the guy is thinking this is golden, it is a perfect ill storm that will hurt both of you.... I am 99% sure that, if you had had sex with this lady, you would not be this determined to go into this marriage that will obviously lead to your death or severe injury and her getting locked up in the prison, you can see where getting the small head out of the way benefits both of you. |
Kelklein:Don't chalk it off to God's time...if only we humans take responsibility and ascribe some of our misfunatutes and failures to ourself, the world will be a better place; we will then take advantage of little things like seat belt and not chalk the whole journey to God's Mercy and Grace....off course we need God's mercies and Grace even after putting on our seat belts, but the least we can do is play our part since faith without work is dead. |
