I think the guy is pointing out that he is not an Engineer to know what's up. That is one problem Nigeria has, given a post to someone that knows nothing about a field he works in.

I believe the issue of being naive is at the doorstep of you lot. Leadership capability is different from job training. Besides if it is not clear that this visit is about an assessment of the current condition of the coal-plant and rather not about the bolts and nuts of it, then comprehension has taken flight from many of you.

isnovic:
A picture they say tells a thousand story.

The picture here shows a man who is completely lost.

You get this type of issues if you send a Lawyer to do an Engineer's job.

..and they engineers that have suposedly done the job in the past got us where exactly?

amtaken:
Not true. It was 6k before GEJ stepped down. Get your facts right.

Madam? Did they train you to lie with impunity? Nigeria has never achieved 6k power.

I carefully pick ppl I argue with and not just anybody,i dont think we have anything more to discuss together.have a nice day.

Keep deluding yourself I say. when you wallow in fools paradise with links from GEJ psycophants, you wake up into the real world.

korel9:
And where is GEJ? The man who started the rushing and who purchased the arms n ammunitions presently used t execute the war?

He was duly awarded/rewarded as the Ineffectual Buffoon!!!

onatisi:
If gej had no ideas why is it that buhari and his cohorts are still following and implementing his policies and ideas?

Remember even buhari himself has acknowledged more than once that it is gej policies and roadmap that he is implementing eg TSA, power sector reforms
And even fashola himself has stated it that it is the laid down plans of gej ,they are implementing and that out of all the past governments it is only gej government that had done more roads.
What policies has this government initiated for the last 10months?
Governance is about continuity and buhari has done well by not abandoning gej projects or ideas

Keep deluding yourself, You can show yourself where and when both said those jibberish you put up.

Meanwhile governance is not always about continuity, especially not ineptitude, waste and corruption that GEJ's government typifies and I wonder where you got that rubbish as well.

I read through it. He said Buhari government is practising what is called Strict Monetarism which is restricting the economy since it is halting the fluidity of the economy. This has led to the country sliding into recession since we've recorded negative growth within two quarters of a fiscal year. I'm sure Buhari don't understand all the economic terms used here (since he didn't even pass simple O'Level Economics). I'm sure you don't too tongue.

He said fg needs to spend money they have saved to avoid Nigeria economy sliding into recession. Simple! Don't be biased in your reasoning.

He shouldn't be biased? No! the OP has comprehension deficit.

betterABIAstate:
Common sense should tell fashola that this trip is a waste of time and money. You can't visit a thermal power plant without first visiting the coal mine. How will you get power without coal?

Clueless govt.

and you think you have made sense? We need to start putting pacifier in the mouth of some of you lot.

Adminisher:
Enugu coal is the answer to Nigeria's power generation problem. There are clean coal power plants now that are very expensive to build but when you start construction, the EU will give you grants just to ensure that the emmissions will be low. Apart from power, coal also produces a large number of by products that we need in country and also for exports.

Bros,

I will assume some of your assertions here are mere wishful thinking. Truth is coal is dirty energy, no matter how you spin it and the world is discouraging it.

In our case, we need power from all sources, so fvck CDM, Clean emission and the likes for now. We need to get the plant back up, anything that can push us over the 10-15GW mark in the shortest possible time is welcomed

onatisi:

Adminisher: :
This was a coal fired power plant. You need coal to be running first before you even re-build the plant. All Jonathan's efforts to revive coal failed because of too much complex commerciality and lack of transparency. We need simple direct intervention with the minimum of noise making

The honest truth is that gej had wonderful ideas but he failed in delivering them because he was a weak leader. I believe we still have sufficient amount of coal to generate power,all that is needed is a person to deliver those ideas. Although I doubt it if buhari has it anyway

Failures and dropouts have wonderful ideas (in their dreams) but cannot deliver because they are.......[fill the blanks with excuses]. Bros, GEJ had no wonderful idea and padding it is a disservice to honesty. GEJ was simply a mistake we "emotionally" made

He is in his final year in uni and hustling as a barber,

So lets reason for a monent, will a man who see no further than being a barber take d time to go to uni. I have seen recahrge card sellers who are in uni, phone repairers in uni. Besides some barbers even make more than d so called bankers.

If i may ask, are you a graduate yourself, if you go into this relationship, what exactly are you bringing to the table.


That man right there is focused and hardworking besides no condition is permanent.

Look at olujumoke.

You look at the "quality" of that writeup, the myopia behind it and you ask if the OP is a graduate? Definitely not

Yunusa should face justice but i dont fight for a girl that started ffucking at the age of 11+. And i can never support a mother that knows her daughter is ffcuking at the age of 12 and cool with it.

They all lack morals. Yanusa, Ese and both families are guilty and lack morals.

This is the moral dilemma. If it is true that the mother knows about the affair, it will be very unfortunate

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.

My brother,

Please be educated on these
1. It is the madatory responsibilities of ALL CITIZENS to pay tax. That is what the constitution says
2. The constitution did not say we should wait till complete a "rebirth process" or your faith in government before some people should pay taxes. The constitution is clear on the terms, which is provided you earn income. See exerpt below

1) The Personal Income Tax: This stipulates that all Nigerians (and non-Nigerians who make their earnings in Nigeria) pay tax from their earnings. Liability to Personal Income Tax is dependent on whether one is resident in Nigeria or whether one is a non-Nigerian. You pay this tax if:

You are a Nigerian making your earnings in Nigeria
Your business is resident in the country
You are a non-Nigerian who makes his or her earning in Nigeria is also taxed.

3. Payment of taxes is a civic responsibility. It is not a bargaining chip or an economic equaliser. It is well stipulated in the constitution. That is also how it is in your so called "ultra capitalistic" and "developed" societies. The constitution did not state that payment of taxes is conditioned on whether the government establishes a minimum sustainability threshold.....

We must separate emotions from the statues

Below is the standard of our white "superiors" whom our forebears captured & sold their kith & kins to massively as slaves and we, their descendants are rushing to become their voluntary under-employed SLAVES since we choose to remain mentally LAZY.

laughable. The non-provision of evidence to you?

You may be right though. Jimi Agbaje did not pay taxes on his supermarket till Fashola squealed on him

anonimi:
Misitah I-am-not-ignorant, you obviously forgot that whatever perks and benefits she receives from the company will be valued and added to her "small salary" in order to assess her liable Personal Income Tax.
That is what your not-stupid LIRS would and should do hence they complained about her N4,000 tax, not so

Cheers.

1. You come to me as someone who frames issues recklessly. Recall you started by saying that the government should "how much the artistes, bloggers, politicians who announce their......". To this I simply told you the government have no business "telling you" how much those people pay. Besides there are means of calculation and declarations of company taxes. Personal taxes are don't become public knowledge except it is absolutely necessart

2. On Linda Ikeji, this is a different issue. If Linda Ikeji is evading taxes, then she's bound to be prosecuted and probably jailed. My argument is that, provided those you refer to as flaunting expesive watches and cars have paid the requisite taxes, these are not substitutes for the poor not to pay their madatory taxes

3. So let's put it in perspective that Linda pays tax, whatever perks and benefits she receives from office can only be added if it is documented as part of her income benefits and it is taxable. If they are deemed part of the company's expenditure, then it would be deemed overhead and Company's taxes are backed out after expenses. If Linda is smart enough to purchase these perks on company's name and not hers and the auditor interpretes the tax laws that they are company's expenses, Linda would win in court to pay the 6k.

In Abia we have NKALI, OWAZA, UMUEKPE, NDOKI, ASA, AFAM, IMO RIVER FLOW STATIONS.
This just to name but a few. be sure of something before you argue.

You don't even know the difference between an oil producing communities and communities with oil flow stations.shame on you. Go school you know gree go.There is different between oil producing communities and host communities.Am patiently waiting to hear which communities in Anambra are oil producing communities.

:oO Chezuz!!!!!! @Franchizy....so you're counting flow station as Oil producing asset? and you have the nerve to tell someone to be sure of something before he argues "morogo"

.....that in itself is change

kaorama:
This is nothing new. The template was already in place before this govt came in. This means nothing as longer as it doesn't translate to better hospitals and classrooms.

1. Wrong. What template?
2. The only thing in the works, which seems to have been tacitly abandoned is the PIB and this is not what was proposed in the PIB
3. This is Kachikwu's program

linearity:
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.

1. Wrong premise and wrong assumption. simple scale economics tells you that the share numbers of these people will make mince-meat of the effort
2. A typical mama Ego will first be registered and profiled. It will be established(on an average)from what she sells how much is the minimum she ought to make (even if she makes less). From this her tax bracket will be determined and the requisite taxes calculated.
3. Referring to paying taxes as another means of extortion is tantamount to being uninformed and crudely ignorant. Look at it like this, in a Face-me-I-face you house, where about 20 rooms share one meter, do they exempt someone from paying electricity bills because he's the poorest? Paying tax is the responsibility of every citizen

maduck:
all the money collected by those "agberos " and union, both in the market and at almost every bustop in lagos, what are the moneies for.....
if it's not tax, then I wonder what it's for.

what you've stated here sparks counterintelligence. Illegal monies are not taxes and will be scrapped. Legal fees paid by NURTW are valid taxes and payables.. We are talking about vaild and legal means of income

CFCman:
Not sure if the LASG is pursuing the right policy. A lot of the people in the tax bracket may not declare their true income.

I guess the State is copying the American tax policy of taxing the lowest income earners 15%.

Bros,

There are ways in which government sieves the right information out. Even if you like declare wrong salaries. Forensic auditors will find you out and the penalties is worse.
