People are already gping to hell because of their disobediences.

So, Non tithers are just part of the population who already do not obey God. So tithe or no tithe, people are already heading to hell.

I have always advocated that daftness or stupidity should come with a jail term.

What about those who don't observe the Sabbath? What about does who don't sacrifice or burn incense? There are 613 Mosaic laws and what will happen to those who don't observe them? You guys are daft and stupid at the same time

Broveens42:
Faceless @majesty7?
You are being moved by emotions and so you refused to Google the personality of Dr Joy before making your claims

Who cares about Dr. Joy? Did you see me mentioning anyone except form the illegal structure? What makes you think any reasonable or responsible government listen to an unknown entity or government?

Thank you and a have good Sunday

Zonefree:
So, what's the big deal? Abi Nigerians don't study in American universities?

Very good

[quote author=Broveens42 post.[/quote]I have been seeing stupid people but this extreme stupidity is rare. Every country should make, stupidity a criminal offense.

An unknown and faceless government writing to Canada and some people are feeling funky about it. A letter by a 2 years old carries more weight to any individual with senses than this jargon writing by an unknown and faceless government.

Are people really daft? Honestly, mosquitoes will be glad that they are more sensible than some humans at least they knew how to identify living things from non-living things.

This is so sad.

What sort of terrorist can henry okocha possibly be...... kidnappers and bandits have account officers minding their accounts doing giveaways and showing themselves freely

Try to shut up! No sin is greater than the other. If you do the crime, be ready to pay the time.

You people should stop already. Anybody being arrested and prosecuted for a crime should face it. Once there is correction, people you are also mentioning will be arrested and prosecuted soon. Please relax. There was a time that Emefiele reigns supreme but where is he today? Likewise a time will come that the King won't even know who Joseph is. So relax and don't support crime irrespective of what is involved

Is it not time yet to sanction Naira land or make it a more transparent forum?

The stupidity going on here is legendary. There is an allegation on someone and some people are already defending him that it is an attempt to shut him up.

Are you people serious a bit? If there is an allegation, he just have to proof his innocence through legal means. If he obviously not trusting the anti crime system, he can complain on the transparency of the process.

You are invited to come proof your innocence, you and your foot soldiers are already crying that it is a witch hunt. Are we serious in this country? So, if he is also guilty of what being alleged, he should be allow to walk free because he controls a particular union? Are these people normal?

press9jatv:
your response here is childish. Maritime agency approved 200k as per their minimum wage bill, you are here displaying your clueless ignorance here

And someone gave birth to you

press9jatv:
after the amount was approved, you can go ahead and reverse it later 🤡🤡

Not here to banter like kids. Just to enlighten ourselves. Thank you

I work in a shipping company and my pay is 70k monthly.

If only they can setup monitoring teams to ensure employers in the sector do comply else no increments in pay .

My employer for instance will never follow suit until been threatened

Sadly this is not for shipping companies but shipping agents (funny news). What is the name of your shipping company?

I read with amusement the above topic here on Nairaland this evening and couldn't help but laughed at the worst joke of the year by this group of clowns.

What Nigeria should have asked them is to list one or two companies under their association that the above information can be verified from.

Now if it is a shipping company association, Importer association or an Exporter association that came together to fix their worker's salaries, then we can accept it with a pinch of salt but for ordinary agents to come out and say they just signed #200k as a minimum wage for their worker is a fat and disgraceful lie. Most of these agents don't even pay their staffs . They are placed on commission on job done.

Are they exporters, importers or production companies? They offer services which anyone should be able to do and can do but due to corruption from the customs, they make the process a bit rigorous and that is why they come in as 3rd parties. Can you now tell me where they are planning to raise the #200k minimum wage for their workers? Are they secretly working with customs to inflate figures, claims or what?

Can we ask them what they do? They help real business people to clear or forward their goods to the port and are paid for the services alone. So, is it from their services cost they are looking at paying #200k minimum wage?

Very funny and deluded humans. Although I don't know why they came out with this outrageous information. Their aim for doing this is for what purpose? Are they trying to create unrest or pushing the NLC to think they accepted less?

If I am lying, can any forwarded here confirm if they can truly pay #70k minimum wage not to talk of #200k? Or are they different entities that are fronting for drug pushers?

Shipping companies we know, shipping agents are just 3rd parties. They can't be making more money than the real players then where will they get the #200k minimum wage? Are we all jokers in this country?

delishpot:
Not true. I have experienced NDE and you first see black then wake up at a bright place.

The truth is, it only feels like you were in a deep sleep. You feel and hear nothing. However, if you say, you've been there before and woke up in a bright place, who am I to argue with you? You went there alone and you are free to describe what you saw.

I am just stating the obvious. I have also been there and saw nothing. I could as well told you I saw angels but I am not cut from such cloth.

SIRTee15:
U will force water down the throat of someone unconscious?
Have U heard of aspiration? I hope U know people do choke to death.

Yoy are right but at least let the tongue gets moistened

VULCAN:
And you know this because you have died many times and came back so you know every inch of the path.

Mtscheww

What does an idi*t knows? Don't worry, there are angels that will be feeding you when you fainted or in a coma. It is a good experience. You can faint or be in a coma to go enjoy heavenly dishes.

Good luck.

Babangidapikin:
Lucky you, hope you asked her where she travelled to in the afterlife.

Nothing. Everything is always blank. All those seeing angels stories are fallacy

KingintheNorth:
Let me tell you a a true life story.


It actually happend about 10 years ago but the memories will live with me forever . Although I have not talked about it on social media but I feel like telling the story so that people will learn. It's a long story but I'll make it brief.

I was cohabiting with my girl back in the Uni, we have been like that for a few years , but then one day I came back to my lodge late in the night because I watched a football game on my way back from school. I opened my door and met my girl on the floor. She was motionless and her eyes were wide open, I checked her pulse but I couldn't feel anything. Her teeth and her palms were clenched tight. I panicked and just froze at the spot not knowing what to do. I then called a few people in the lodge and alerted them about what was happening but before I knew it , the whole lodge people have gathered in my room and outside the door.

Nobody could tell what must have happend to her. We thought about rushing her to hospital but the school clinic is closed and there are no good hospitals in the area because the school is in a remote location, and it was almost midnight at the time. Some people did different type of first aid on her , trying to see if they can revive her but after few hours there still wasn't any sign of life.
People started suspecting that she might be dead and started taking somethings from their rooms and leaving the lodge immediately. Out of the 30 occupants of the lodge only one person (student pastor) remained with me. The rest ran away from the lodge ,even my best friend .🙁

The student pastor prayed and prayed to see if she will come back to life but nothing happend , at about 4am the Pastor told me that he has done everything he can and that it's in the hands of God now. He then went to his room. It was just the two of us left in the building.

I sat down in my room, I didn't know what to do, I couldn't cry , I thought about how I was going to be arrested and charged for murder when in truth I'm innocent, which nobody will believe because of nigeria justice system. I thought about my parents , how they sacrificed to send me to school not knowing I was cohabiting with a girl . At some point I thought about running away, but that will mean I'm guilty and perhaps how far and how long would I be on the run before I would be caught.

I didn't know who to call , I was just bereft of ideas. I decided I'll submit myself to the police in the morning and explain what happend and possibly face the consequences. As I sat there waiting for day to break, I started scrolling through my phone contacts.
Mind you, I believe in God but I'm not a very religious person. I came across one pastor that gave me his phone number a long time ago. I then decided to just try my luck and call him. I called him and he picked up the call immediately as if he was waiting for the call.
I wanted to tell him what's happening, but he cut me short and told me he already knows. That he was disturbed in the spirit and God revealed it to him so he started praying but he didn't know it was for my situation he was praying for at that time.

He told me I should not be afraid , that everything will be fine. He asked me if I have any sachet water around , I looked around and got a sachet water . He then asked me to put the phone ontop of the water so her can pray in it. I did as he asked. After praying , he then asked me to try and force open her mouth anyway I can pour some water inside ,then sprinkled the rest all over her body.

I did everything he instructed. He then told me that everything will be alright and ended the call. By then it was almost 6am in the morning. I just sat there starring at her , then I saw her hand move a little bit, I cleaned my eyes and got closer to her so as to be sure my eyes were not deceiving me. Her hand moved again , then her legs . Before I knew it she opened her eyes and sat up. I couldn't believe my eyes, I was in shock and was wondering if I'm imagining the whole thing.

Then she spoke and asked me what's happening, and why is her body wet with water . I rushed out and called the student pastor who came running in to witness the first miracle of my life. He was singing praises to God. I knelt down and prayed to God and thanked him for the first time in a very long time . I made her a cup of tea after which she has a shower.

At about 7am in the morning, none of my lodgemates have returned . I looked outside the gate from my room and saw some of them with other people gathered in small groups whispering, waiting to get the full gist of how my girl died in my room .

I called my bike guy to come to the lodge because I want to take her to the hospital for checkup, I then came down to the gate with my girlfriend. As they saw her , they opened their mouth with shock and we're too surprised to talk.

To cut the whole story short . I learnt some valuable lessons . Cohabiting with anybody you are not married is very risky, you wouldn't know the risk until something happens to him or her.
The second lesson I learnt was that, when you get in trouble that's when you will know that you are alone, people will run away from you.

Anyways , we continued dating, but I rented an apartment for her so stay separately. I also stopped her from sleeping in my place. Untill we eventually parted ways after I graduated.

Most people have lost their lives due to dehydration. When you see someone faint. The first thing is to force that person to drink water. Forget mouth to mouth rubbish. Water is life. Many have lost their lives. Still doing my research on this

IbeOkehie:
Don't wait for me. Go and arrest Obasanjo. He's not hiding.

Then form a company and import fuel cheaply from India and Libya. Absolutely brilliant! You're the next Nigerian billionaire.

And if you want even cheaper fuel, check the prices in Venezuela. You'll be shocked 😲

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Thankfully you brain is now rebooting.

And Yes! If your NNPC are willing to issue out permit to import PMS, why not? It will gladdens me to import from a cheaper country and even from the same Malta. I will promise you that I will get it cheaper and won't sell above $.25/Ltr

Secondly, Obasanjo can't be arrested by me cos' I am neither in government nor have been on government but I can sue him if only we have more reasonable people and transparency agency willing to support me.

Lastly, Yes, Venezuela can be a good start as well.

Just to tell you that you are not funny a bit but a blind citizen who careless about his situation.

Thank you

IbeOkehie:
Price of petrol worldwide isn't secret. Go to investing.com or Yahoo Finance and see it.

Sorry to tell you the story of billions of stolen electricity money under Obasanjo is fiction😅

There's no free market for electricity in Nigeria, that's why there's scarcity of mains electricity supply. Private electricity supply is booming...that's called HOME GENERATORS.

Good Luck to Nigeria

Billions stolen under obasanjo was fiction? To start with, how old were you in 2008? If you were old enough, then I don't need to delve further telling you about the $16b.

Secondly, you should have done us a favor and researched on PMS refined prices or sales per FOB or CIF from your sources from India, Libya and Europe so that we can make comparisons and be able to advice the government better.


Waiting for you

RealLordZeus:
I concur

Btw if you understand Nigeria problem and you can explain, pls do so

Coz I no understand again

One news go say NNPC is the sole importer of fuel

Another one go say Oando dey import fuel

This one mention Dantata again

NNPC is the sole importer of PMS but underground, they allowed some people to import and then sell to them. Nigeria is not even good feed for the dogs

nairalanda1:
NO counter point, no rebuttal, just abuse.

Anyway, enjoy your subsidised prices.

You Nairalanders should learn how to debate others , instead of just screaming lies repeatedly. It does not show you know anything of the matter under discussion.

So sad you thought you are at the center of accusation. Did I know you? What concerns of mine is if you lied or not?

I am telling you that those stats are fraudulent. There is no accountability in Nigeria since independent. It has been falsely packaged.

Why do you think I am attacking you? Are you the federal government?

nairalanda1:
Our tax to gdp ratio is less than 11%. Over 70% of Nigerians do not pay income tax to the federal and state coffers. Between 60-80% of our revenues comes from oil, and most of the rest comes from loans.

We ain't earning enough from tax

And even if we were earning from tax...take our budget for this year. It is less than 30 trillion. Estimates for fixing our power sector for example have been put at 15 trillion yearly. Half our budget.

Would you spend half our budget on fixing power up, and use loans to fll in the resultant deficit?

Lies! Lies!! And lies!!!

Which trillion yearly? What happened to the billions of USD allocated to the power sector by Obasanjo? What happened to the previous allocated budget? Who said we are not earning enough from tax? Nigerian government have succeeded in brainwashing her citizenry to believe anything they spit out. Corruption! Don't believe this guys. A country with zero accountability. If not so, why will NNPC wake up to always tell us trash.

They will wake up tomorrow and tell you again that the landing cost is now #1,600 and they will believe Nigerians won't ask questions.

Please let's stop all these lies

nairalanda1:
We don't have electricity and petrol because we sell them below the market price, in the name of subsidy, and have been doing so since the 1970's.

The first warning signs were when we had fuel queues in 1976, and power cuts from 1978.

But since we 'had to help the poor' we continued.

The result...the power and petroleum sector depreciated because there wasn't enough profit in the system to fix and upgrade and maintain things at the same time.

Right now, power for most people is charged below the production cost of N160-170 per kwh, except for Band A people who pay N209 and above, and even then, government is planning to subsidise universites and hospitals on band A. Add the fact that band A people make up 20% of the customer base of our electriciity sector

Meaning our power sector loses money. ANd here is the scary thing, before the BAND A price increase , everyone paid below the production cost of a kwh of power. EVERYONE.

I haven't even mentioned things like massive power theft , among other things. And then the corruption which arises in part because since we don't pay the discos and gencos decent money, their workers supplement their income by bribes and so forth...including ilelgal conncections.

The result is the power sector has been operating at a chronic loss for decades...even now, government owes the sector N2 trn or more in unpaid subsidy costs. Let's not even talk about the debt owed by Nigerians.


Compare with the GSM sector who at least have some control over price setting....tell me, when was the last time you bribed an MTN worker to connect you to the network when your airtime ran dry?

Sell at a loss, operate at a loss. Feed a child one egg and two grains of rice a day, dont complain when the same child scores minus 40 in his end of term examinations.

You run something at a loss, issues start.

You got it 95% wrong. I am just being gentle with your assertions. The only thing that you said and that is applicable to the private sector is not selling things on loss.

However, you are TOTALLY wrong in regards to the government. Do you know what they call tax? Have you ever thought about that? Subsidy is done globally by every sane government to alleviate and make things easier for her citizenry.

The government also tax and you think Government should tax and shouldn't subsidized? Try to weigh words, actions and deeds before your final submission. It will help you a lot.

Now, in Nigeria case, the subsidy is even fraudulent because there is no subsidy in the first place. Can NNPC furnished us with cost and other logistics that made the petrol landing cost above 20cent? Nigeria is a fraudulent place. We don't refined our crude in Europe or America. We do that in a poorer countries and were able to produce cheap. NNPC claims to always import from Europe but can they show us prove? If that is true, why must they refined in Europe or richer countries? What happened to Libya, India and many other where they can refine cheaper and reduce landing cost?

NNPC and the Nigerian government are scammers that should be dealt with

Yourprick:
https://www.thecable.ng/nnpc-we-are-selling-petrol-at-half-the-landing-cost-but-it-is-not-subsidy/amp/

Can they shed more light on the landing cost? Where are they getting the pms, shipment and other logistics?

Mr. NNPC, I put it to you that the landing cost is below #320 ($.20) 20 cents. Prove us wrong

MrBrownJay1:
I will simply explain to her that the reason we are going on a date is to get to know each other, and the little i was gonna spend on that date (aka drink/snack or chop something) is for her to be comfortable as we get to know one another and discuss life and see if i want to see her again (or not) etc.... if she solely came to that date because of hunger (with stomach making hungry noise) and she is only looking to get out of there with my money so that she can go feed her family, then whats the point of her coming to the date (apart from my money)?! she is missing the whole point about what "A DATE" is.

i would just say:"HELL THE FUKC NO!" then get up and walk away!

You would have preferred she lied, took a sip and act as if everything was normal with her? I won't hire you as a staff or do any business with you as a partner. You obviously can't reason beyond your present situation and would likely be someone who is not flexible. Be honest with yourself. Have you been a good worker or a manager? Just be honest

Hotspurs:
no for real..what do you mean,prove me wrong...where are homeless people putting their tent in naija

You are right

Ttalk:
Take your life swear if you get less

The idiot is not denying. He said; “Thus the money referred to by Senator Kawu Sumaila is neither his salary nor personal allowance.

‘It’s for the daily running of offices by Senators and other attached statutory officials. It equally provides funds for Constituency office staff. It is also for oversight functions and community engagements.

These Nigerian politicians thinks maybe Nigerians are goats or just trees who can't reason. These are the people Nigerians should fight. Visit and Destro their homes and offices. Call for immediate review of making their offices less attractive. Many Nigerians will come out and all these politicians will easily be captured because they are totally useless. It is even their orderlies that will be the first people to beat them.

InfoGuru118:
The Nigeria Customs Service has announced guidelines for the implementation of a 150-day tariff waiver on selected staple foods.



https://news360ng.com/customs-launches-guidelines-for-free-import-on-food-items-full-list/

Customs have started again with wayo. Which one is, "husked brown rice"? Why not dehusked rice? Yes, we know that it is, husked *brown* rice but average Nigerian customs are illiterate and touts. They might attack the grain if the rice is not brown and called it polished rice. Polished rice is also dehusked but more processed than just, *husked brown rice*.

Customs are wild, devilish and street smart. The government should please look into that and make corrections. Customs are just trying to be smart here.

Secondly, what is all this bullshit about the need for importers to own a milling plant with a capacity of at least 100 tons per day, operate for at least four years and have enough farmland for cultivation? 100tons/pay is approximately 2000 bags (50kg) production per day. If we truly have mills that are already producing 2000 bags per day, do we need to import again? What sick country is this?

Look at what this fool is saying? How many governors has EFCC block their account? How many governors has FG withhold their money? What is the duty of court when a governor feels that FG is impeding on his right? All these trash for Tinibu...story

Sadly you were both poorly raised and an illiterate.

So it was the presidency that influenced the blocking of those governor's account by the EFCC? Secondly, FG withholding governor's money? Do you mean governor's salaries or state allocation or what?
