Those using media to smear Anambra state over insecurity that the state is insecure how far?

Anambra state is the most insecured state in that region now. Are we not all reading the news?

MadamVanessa:

Peter Obi really did wonders in this state, reason Anambra is the heart beat of the east. All thanks to the best man that got the job done.

Obi keh?

Na akproko dey worry those church goers. It is nothing more than a gist

Botragelad:
This is exactly the Kamala Harris that folks figure is gonna run the whole United States. She's got her eyes wide open to the fact that Nicolás Maduro is or used to be a brutal, illegal dictator who stole his way into power, but she's cool with him squatting there, not lifting a finger to shut him down. Lol

Really? Thanks to Donald Trump. Mind explaining to me why Trump is now saying USA will now be in charge of their oil?

Most of these liberal leaders are cowards always yapping their mouths off with blah blah, promises, etc, but when it comes to backing it up with actual moves, nada
Your real power shows up in what you do, not what you rant about.

You believed that being lawless, brutal, war. mongering is synonymous to being courageous and being lawful, humane is synonymous to being coward?
If every president of superpower nations behave like unhinged Trump, you personally would have been tired of this world

Zocalite:
You be comedian

Even nigeria interfered in Benin republic and wanted to interfere in Niger republic and Mali

Nigeria wanted to stop the coup. And that's because there's AU accord. Nigeria didn't interfere because it was already too late and to prevent war. Get your facts right next time

Moreover US - the world superpower

And what do you think being superpower means? You think it means "go to any less developed country when you want and Bleep them up? Someone needs to educate you again on that.

And Venezuela was also shipping drugs into US using government facilities

That's a lie Trump sold to you, his minions. Drug cartels don't need government facilities

Do you know how many Venezuelans were lurking at the border of US daily leaving their country because of maduro

Oga you be comic

Many Nigerians, Indians, Chinese would leave their countries today if given opportunity. Is that because of Maduro too?
You came off to me as ignorant

raumdeuter:
America now has a president in the white house

America back to being respected again globally

Mental slavery dey worry u because that's not how you earn respect of the rest of the world. Go on reddit or X and read what American citizens are saying. They are not delusional like Trump and you, they're saying that Trump action will make the rest of the world hate them more. And that's fact.

Someone on Facebook said that since she said single mummy life is bae, she should initiate her daughter into it. Come see how ladies were raining insult and abuse on the person

vat has always been 7.5%
https://www.nuprc.gov.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Value-Added-Tax-Modification-Order-2024-Publication.pdf

I know of course. Even anytime I received interest from my banks on my savings, the percentage of withholding tax has always consistently been 10%.
What we're telling you is that the implementation of VAT and tax will be taken to new level this year according to what NA and and Tinubu recently approved. The evidence is staring you guys in the face here and you are still ignoring it. Why is the lady lamenting if this was implemented last year?

Hallams:
I won't argue with you because you sure do not know what you are saying! https://ng.andersen.com/president-buhari-signs-the-finance-bill-2019-into-law/

You can't argue with fact, truth and common sense now. Tell me what NA passed last year and what Tinubu recently approved?
You're quoting Buhari action in 2019 while I'm quoting Tinubu action in 2025. This newly approved VAT is broader in its implementation

erico2k2:
Something is wrong with the way you reason.have you nor dey pay VAT? even your bank charge you VAT on your savings.

That's why I'm telling you this year implementation will be on another level, not the kind of implementation you were used to. You do know that NA recently passed this one last year and president approved it?

erico2k2:
Bross stop this Embarrassment

What embarrassment? Show me the evidence of your VAT last year.

GloriousGbola:
Do you actually live and work in Nigeria?

Do you not pay for services in this country?

Do you not check your receipt at any major supermarket or when you pay for data?

Do you understand that VAT is a line item for any purchase order executed in Nigeria?

Yes to all your questions. But this is just being implemented starting from this year January 1st. If you disagree, show me one or two of your VAT charges last year.
You heard and watched all the dramas about this new VAT implementation? Why are you guys saying it is not new? Even when they were even telling Tinubu and FG to delay the implementation

uzohrome:
The 7.5 % tax has been existing since 5 years. This attention seeking fellows. Very sad. In a sane country she should be arrested for fake news

Can you people stop making this ignorant claims for God's sake. This VAT new implementation was recently passed and approved. Nobody was paying 7.5 percent for buying products before, not you, not me. This started this year January 1st as announced by the FG

Hallams:
Listen carefully as well. If you are not aware that the 7.5 percent VAT has been in effect since the Buhari administration, then you need to read more. I have personally been charged 7.5 percent VAT consistently since 2020. This is not new information.🤣🤣 People should take the time to understand facts for themselves rather than relying on noise. So-called influencers are not smarter than you most times; they are simply louder. I s

You lied!
VAT existed in the past but not implemented in this format, this method is new, it was recently passed by the house and approved by Tinubu.
This is not the kind of VAT implementation you were used to. You think national assembly and Tinubu were wasting their time and efforts on something that already exited? You think NLC and other Nigerians are shouting about the VAT they were already used to?

olayinka63:
H
It's like you are the ignorant here. Vat has always been 7.5% for more than 5 years now

What did you buy in the last five years that its VAT was charged separately?

GloriousGbola:
they really need to start regulating SM or go the china way and ensure people who run their mouths on social media actually have the competence to do so

7.5% vat has been a thing for over 5 years now, when they increased from 5%

this silly attention seeking clown is shouting the sky is blue

When was the first or last time you paid VAT of this nature? VAT existed in the past but this version is new.

seunmsg:
You’re capping nonsense. Is VAT a new tax? If she had made the same purchases last year, would she not have paid the exact same amount as VAT? So, why will any manufacturer increase price in January over a VAT law that has been in effect since the 90’s?

Again, are you aware that with effect from 1st of January, 2026, Company Income Tax has reduced from 30% to 25%? So, will manufacturers whose CIT has been reduced force any price increment on their customers? Does that make any sense? Are you even aware that companies with an annual turnover of < 100m are now fully exempt from CIT? So, why will such companies push any increment to customers?

Do little research now before disgracing yourself here. This type of VAT didn't exist before, it is new.
Even commonsense would have told you this charge is new to her, and that's why she voiced out.

humberjade:
That's the way it should be. We all cry "saner climes, saner climes"...that's the way things are done in saner climes. What is left is for the government to use this generated revenues judiciously.

🤣🤣
Like they have been using it in the past, right? What baffling most is how Nigeria leaders and some citizens like you believe that Nigeria's problem is the lack of revenues or insufficient money when our biggest culprit is corruption.
Have you noticed that all the thieves and looters being mentioned now are not stealing in millions anymore but in billions?

vanbonattel:
Who did you vote in 2023?

That will give us a better ideobon how to advise you.

You better keep your advice. If you genuinely believed that if Obi or Atiku becomes Nigeria president after Tinubu, any of them will reverse any policy being put in place by Tinubu to expand government revenue base, you better review your belief in them.

Meister:
Marketers has forced you to buy the worst phone of the bunch, not a bad phone but all the other ones are way better than it

WHITELIGHTER:
That's a resounding confirmed FACT!

d3cod3r:
Probably the latter. They are transsion's online warriors but one thing they have in common with the outlet marketers is that all of them are tech illiterates.

You guys probably won't remember this topic, I have forgotten about it too.
My Tecno Pova 5G is still going strong with the battery still remain strong and no swelling despite the constant charging. I made the best choice. And it has remained one and only phone since March 2022. I fixed its broken screen towards the end of last year

koskilala:
The Pova 5g is one hell of a device, very good to go.

Yeah, still going strong almost four years now. Tecno is not even making 5G phones again

Meister:
Good luck to you and your very basic phone though

My "very basic" phone is still serving me almost four years of use with no spare phone.

MaziObinnaokija:
CHERRY OMOOBA .

May the engine not sound like TECNO/ ITEL * 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ to Flangelo12 house for protection *

My tecno phone Pova 5G will be 4 years in March 2026. Except for the broken screen that cost me 25k to fix, every single part of it still remains intact.

Nextjs:
God bless USA

Tinubu would have faced this style of extradition if not that he corporated

To those shouting sovereignty should understand that USA doesn't care as long as what they do is to national interest

May be you should go reddit or X and listen to US citizens comments on Trump's action. National interest my ass

Dzzzz:
Please explain further what you mean by “Tempting”?

No need for justifying murders as there is no need explaining to you what you already knew

slivertongue:
The commission weren't established for development but for politics

That's the decision of your people when money touched their hands. They decided not to use the money for development

BouquiLake:
But ki lo ma nshe awon agbayaaa yi naaa... Was the money a personal money or to the people of Oyo state?

Odeee... The money given was not a personal money, the person the money was given to was not for personal use.

Kin ti eeeeee.... Return with interest ko... With hatred nii

Who was he keeping it for after two years? And no one knew anything about it until now, not even you.
Did you know that CBN collected back from Yahaya Bello, the Covid money grant that was given to all state governors when it was discovered that Bello hid the money in a fixed account instead of spending it on the residents of kogi state? So, if CBN collects the money back, blame the governor, it wouldn't be the first time

Jakumo:
In Nigeria, however, there is NO "safe neighborhood" because kidnappers and armed robbers can strike anywhere and any time, against any and all Nigerian citizens who cannot afford to have armed police guards. When driving along any highway in Nigeria, the risk of getting ambushed and kidnapped that is prevalent all over Nigeria, simply does NOT exist in ANY American city or rural area.

Unless one is wealthy and connected enough to charter helicopters for routine inter-city travel in Nigeria, literally ANY road trip could wind up becoming a one-way trip into hell. The absence of any such ambush danger along ALL highways in the USA , taken as a single factor of consideration, makes Nigeria orders of magnitude more dangerous than any part of America, including the Deep South.

More than likely, the American rapper visiting Nigeria spent his entire holiday in an up-scale area like Lekki or Victoria Island in Lagos, and on noting that there was no gunplay as is a normal occurrence in American ghetto night clubs, concluded WRONGLY that the entire nation of Nigeria must be safer than his ghetto "hood" stateside.

No safe neighbourhood in Nigeria? Because kidnappers can strike anywhere anytime? This guy is a joke. What kind of weed is he smoking? Why do I feel safe right now with no police or security agents around me?

tunjijones:
How wld you claim you keep 30 billion given to you by the federal government for almost 2 years without using it for what it is ment for. Claiming that you kept the 30 billion Naira because the money wasn't complete yet, that FG promised you 50 billion Naira.

At the rate of 20 percent per annum, the interest on that money is 12 billion Naira.

You shd find how to refund 42 billion to FG.

Let's assume that FG refuse to give him the remaining 20 billion naira for rest of his tenure, what would really happen to that money? That guy is heartless, that guy is selfish, Makinde is a confirmed thief.

Do you know that that money has lost at least, half of its value since two years ago? Because the prices of commodities has tripled since that period

AMINDA:
[b] Tell Lagos state to first return the 150 billion they got from Tinubu in the first tranche. Did the federal government announce the donation when it was being given? Nigerians only got to know through a leaked memo after Makinde came for Tinubu. This was how Tinubu quietly disbursed the subsidy savings to settle political favours and subsidize the Southwestern states while borrowing astronomically. The next cash cow they are selling is taxation.

What aboutism as usual .. Diversionary tactics

Why did he seat on the money meant for the victims compensation and reconstruction all this while? Thief

pocohantas:
Young man, rest. You didn't read anything that was off. You are not remotely smarter or more discerning than hundreds of moniker who read same comment. Bye.

Am I the only one who saw beyond your hypocrisy?
BTW: what age do you consider "young" in your family? May be correction needs to be made here
