April 15th is TAX DAY in the USA. If they born you, do not file your taxes. You cannot want a GREAT country without proper taxation and fees. Car Registration in my state is every year or every two years..the prices have gone up. Insurance is a MUST - Car, House, Health...you even get fined in your taxes if you do not have medical insurance. You cannot be getting something from nothing. As the revenue increases, Govt can keep raising wages so our economy can grow. States and LGAs are collecting money...FG is doing its part.
I am not worried about the Loans we borrow. We have so many people that are not paying taxes that will be captured now. Let the funds stay in Nigeria. We would rather spend the funds to buy houses abroad, send children abroad and go on vacations abroad by not paying taxes. That is why you have your celebrities buying new cars every year. Time to redistribute the wealth...and with this new building with improved internet connectivity, we can eliminate human influence and corruption.
Here, you can doctor your taxes, but once you are caught...you are in trouble. People go to jail for taxes...lots of our people are on tax payment plans. Govt will add fines, interest rates on taxes you owe. That is the life in the WEST. Welcome to the normal world.
Too little too late...they wanted ADC because it is close to APC and above APC on the INEC Ballot. They tried SDP ...but could not hijack it. They tried registering a party but did not meet requirements...I guess having offices in all states and officers...so they tried to hijacked a cooked meal lol
Poverty is SAD. It leads to desperation. A CAT...Na wa o
omikel: Good day Nairalander, I will be brief with my story of how I conquered one of the cats that have been terrorizing us for years in our compound. If you like, call it ANIMAL CRUELTY, but if you read to the end, you will know what I have endured for long. On this beautiful but hot evening, I wanted to go have my shower at the tap outside with the hope to cool my body temperature. I felt something moved fast towards one edge of the boys quarter, my instinct doesn't deceive me, IT IS ONE OF THOSE UNCULTURED CAT that used to make irritating noise while mating behind our fence. I wouldn't know if they usually come from different places to have their usual DO THE DO at our backyard. I took no offence for them doing that because nature can not be cheated. But the problem is the noise at the wee hour of the night when one is supposed to be deep in sleep. They will make different kind of Moaning like human and at times cry like a toddler whose biscuit was snatched by his elderly one, I don't know if anyone has had the kind of experience I am trying to narrate here. But one of them ran into the hands of an angry man who the current situation on ground has made more angrier, like the yoruba will say "Ajá tó yó, kìí bá aiyo seré" Na so I retreived back to my room to pick up my self defense tool any day (a matchet). I tip-toed back and lay still in the dark with my touch light on the left hand and my thumb on its switch. Cats are very sensitive and can see in the dark like tomorrow no dey, but na luck help me kill am this day "Oluwa lo funmi pa* 😁😁😁 Immediately I felt some movement again, my thumb was the first action taker on the switch of my Torchlight, gboa! Light everywhere, the cat's eye self is another version of Torchlight on me. But I summoned courage, it is either you die today or you escape and never come back to this vicinity. We entered battle, I pursued the 'were' to one end where where it believe is an hiding place but there is no escape route except through where I was standing with my Torchlight beaming at it and it was gazing at me also. Who will make the first move? I tricked it into believing I am tired, within a twinkle of an eye, I blinked the light by tapping the switch pim pim the mad cat want to run out of its enclave na so I matchetted it like a criminal who is about to steal phone through the window. But to be sincere, the thing get power, with that one hit, I thought it will be dead, rather it make one hunch back style of defense, and began to make some buzz sound with its mouth and all its claws were sharply released out, na so I woos am the second time before it succumb to weakness and finally third hit made it surrender to alumuntu.
If not for US, you think Israel can take on IRAN? Turkey ...I dont think you know their military might. Even US wont advice Israel to go against Turkey.
grandiose4ever: Lol this Erdogan thinks Israel is northern Cyprus or Greece. Maybe in his head, he thinks he can start trouble like when he shot at Russia and ran like a cry baby to NATO and US for help.
A country that fought Iran and didn't lose a single war plane, whereas it's American allies - the strongest military on earth lost some. That tells you, you are about to pick on the most combat tested experienced airforce in the world.
BTW, iran is mar more a stronger enemy to Israel because it has asymmetric capabilities like Hamas, Hezbollah and a chokehold on strait of hormuz. Turkey has nothing to blackmail Israel with.
Just remember the following.
1. NATO will not save you. 2. Ankara will not have a airforce and it's navy will be half gone when this misadventure of attacking Israel is over with.
Stories...one of the Ministers that refuse to do interviews. How are we sure the increase is not due to Forex changes on USD services? Talk to the people and let us judge how effective your work has been...not all these programs you all put together to put out press release.
press9jatv: Maritime revenue jumps from N700bn to N1.83tr in two years - Oyetola
Nigeria's maritime sector sees revenue leap to N1.83tn in two years, driven by reforms that ended piracy, cleared port gridlocks, and boosted confidence....
The issue I have with this Hamzat...I barely see him do anything. He should have been prepping for this position, start his own NGO, do his own programs outside of the Office, and make himself relevant. We can't just accept you as the next in line because you served as the Deputy. I have not seen anything that shows he has capacity to take over Lagos. I will not agree to a Seyi Tinubu either, because I have not seen him grant interviews, speak to people...All he does he walk around like a small god. Ambode was a Governor, and we know his capacity. If he wants to return for another term, he has earned that right.
blamingthedevil: Good evening all. As we prepare for Party primaries next month, I urge all our supporters in ikeja Federal Constituency and Lagos state to support Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat as the next Governor of Lagos state from 2027-2035 IJN. Amen!
The question is...will all his businesses survive after his demise? Can the children navigate the political terrain of Nigeria or like most Nigerian Businesses...they will gradually fade away? Recruit well and Build Great Leaders.
That nonsense has started in the USA with Oba of New Jersey and Oba of Minnesota...but the Obas have warned them, and some of these guys have been banned from Oju Ode. As a matter of Fact, i think they change their names officially to Oba Kunle .....so it remains part of their names and give stupid titles to other people too. This madness must be dealt with by the FG.
dododawa1: The Federal Government has described the coronation and activities of Eze Ndigbo “Igbo Kings” in foreign countries as embarrassing.
Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday, against the backdrop of the Imeobi meeting, the highest decision-making body of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide in Enugu.
The minister in the statement issued by Dr Magnus Eze, Special Assistant on Communication and New Media, Office of the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, described the situation as an embarrassment.
According to her, it has become a big embarrassment to the government, Ndigbo, Nigerians and other foreigners in those countries, where they have Eze Ndigbo.
“This is as the National Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide in collaboration with the South East Council of Traditional Rulers abolished the concept of Eze Igbo outside Igboland”.
She narrated that Igbo associations in diaspora usually stage cultural activities to promote their heritage, but unfortunately, the enthronement of traditional rulership by some of these Igbo groups has severely caused friction.
This, according to her, is not just among the Igbo communities themselves, but also between the Igbo and their host communities.
The minister stated that people could still express themselves culturally without causing nuisance to the indigenous people of the host country and others.
She recounted that recently, violent protests erupted in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, following the controversial coronation of a Nigerian Igbo leader, Solomon Eziko, as “Eze Ndigbo na East London” Igbo King in East London.African economy outlook
Also the event sparked an outcry from local residents, traditional leaders, and political parties, leading to violence, the torching of foreign-owned vehicles, and looting.
“On March 14, 2026, Eziko was crowned as a traditional leader in KuGompo City, East London, a move interpreted by South Africans as an unlawful challenge to local sovereignty and traditional leadership structures.
“Protests began on March 30, with demonstrations organised by groups including ActionSA, which quickly escalated into violence. The protesters targeted foreign-owned businesses and vehicles, with reports of no fewer than 13 vehicles being destroyed.
“At least one stabbing incident was reported, and police had to use stun grenades and tear gas to restore order.
“The Eastern Cape House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders condemned the coronation as flagrant violation of customary protocols.
Also, the South African government’s Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs declared the installation illegal and in violation of the constitution,” she said.
She revealed that the ministry deployed diplomatic channels in tackling the situation, adding that the Nigerian High Commission in South Africa distanced itself from the coronation, acknowledging it was a cultural event misinterpreted and not formal, recognised monarchy.African economy outlook
She also said the Nigerian Embassy in Pretoria officially apologised for the confusion and crisis, urging Nigerians in South Africa to maintain a low profile and avoid further confrontations.
The minister said the Deputy High Commissioner, Olajide Ogunmadeji, had addressed some protesters saying the situation was misinterpreted, as the coronation was only ceremonial, rather than the installation of traditional authority that defied the existing system.
She recalled a similar incident that occurred in Ghana in July, 2025 because of the Eze Ndigbo issue, while addressing the Ohanaeze Imeobi/General Assembly.
She disclosed leading delegation to Accra to douse the tension, as Ghanaian protesters demanded Nigerians must leave, saying aggrieved Ghanaians issued compatriots quit notice, insisting Nigerians must go.
The minister urged Ohanaeze Ndigbo to prescribe sanctions for any persons flouting its directive abolishing Igbo traditional rulership outside Igboland.
She quoted the President_General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Sen. Azuta Mbata, to have presented the decision of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, saying they have adopted the position of the traditional rulers abolishing the Eze Ndigbo title in diaspora.
“Anybody who is being awarded that type of title anywhere outside of Igbo land is on his own.
It is unknown to the Igbo people and we will call upon all state governors, we will correspond to all embassies in the world informing them about the position of Ndigbo.
“The position of Eze Ndigbo anywhere outside Igbo land is hereby alienated and proscribed. That is the position of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide.
“We will determine in consultation with the kings of Igbo land what the punishment will be for anybody who goes against this position and that punishment will be implemented at the village level.
Your hometown, your town union will be under injunction to implement that punishment but we are going to declare that punishment after due consultation.”
She further assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would help disseminate the Ohanaeze communique on the issue through its Missions and High Commissions. (NAN)
We do not clean tanks, we do not fumigate. The rate at which people are experiencing snakes or rashes is alarming. Lots of typhoid cases, so please be careful which pure water you buy...Best to get a flask and take water from your house as well. Best to buy water you can trust even if it is expensive, than for you to be looking for hospital bill support.
Why was he trying to leave instead of fighting till the end? If there are widespread corruption in maintaining vehicles, it is rather sad and there are no checks and balances.
How are the bandits able to come close to a Base? no CCTV cameras, no readiness, no backup air support, no intelligence...so what the heck is US Military doing in Nigeria? They have proven to be useless.
If you deport all Nigerian Doctors in UK, UK will not have as much doctors as Nigeria lol. Anyways, how is this news? Is UK Economy the same as Naija? The small UK is controlling insurance for ships all over the world. Our so-called former colonial masters never left us alone...they just controlled the world in other ways.
Kayode Okikiolu is by far the best interrogative journalist in Nigeria. The guy is just great at what he does. I hope one day he wont be picked up by these international outlets. He should replace Seun Okinbaloye permanently...that one can barely put English together while talking Rufai should watch and learn...not put it to you. There are very respectful ways to ask questions and make breaking news without being the news.
Melezenawii: Ralph Nwosu Is the Founder of African Democratic Congress (ADC).
You said you were offered money and ministerial slots, who exactly offered you?
Ralph Nwosu:
🗣️: You said you were offered money and ministerial slots, who exactly offered you?
ADC claimed he signed his exit willingly. Now, they are saying they tried to pacify him and he did not accept. So there is no way he signed his exit willingly and still would not allow himself to be pacified. ADC is in trouble. People that worked hard for their parties and suffer all these years must cash out. There is NDC...they should MOVE there since SDP they couldnt hijack lol. They tried
Racoon: I wonder why a DIVORCE STAGE was never included because it is one of the most rampant nastic experience of marriage. Meanwhile, married people let relate and share experiences.
It is now on CNN...rescue mission is ongoing...all the naysayers saying it was not shot down. Trump is killing our soldiers.. In November, we will vote out the Republicans in the House and Senate.
The handlers of the President are just terrible. The President could have stayed overnight and reschedule Gateway Airport till Tuesday. Which one is more important? Now, it is different if you say that security assessment shows that the Presidential convoy can be attacked or would be attacked so you cannot go into town. This kind of press release by so called experienced spokesperson shows that experience is not always better than judgment and perception. This is coming from an APC person. It was not a good writeup.
Did you read the article? He wanted to JOIN APC but he was NOT Welcomed there. APC is not a party everyone can join. Even Gov. Adeleke tried and was not allowed lol.
breathcutter: The most loyal PDP stalwart, I knew rumors flying about him joining APC weren't true.
Pay attention...i did not say Crusade Wars...I said Crusaders. They did not just fight Christian vs Muslim. The church's sanctioned army removed Christian kings. I am not here to keep arguing back and forth. The Catholic Church sanctioned killings and blood...That is the POINT and don't try to deviate from it.
Kobojunkie: The Crusade Wars refer specifically to the wwrs fought against colonialism by the Catholic church. Go read up your history. 🥱🥱
Be it offense or defense...did they not shed blood? You cannot rewrite history. The Crusaders were also used to overthrow Kings that did not follow the direction of the Church by labelling them heretics. Go and do your research. ...against CHRISTIAN KINGS
I actually love watching all those historically accurate medieval shows on NetFlix, so I have learned alot. If you do not know about this topic, please do not argue with me.
Kobojunkie: Small correction. The Crusades were fought entirely to protect the Christian world from the invading Arab/Islamic Jihadists whose goal was to enslave the free world in the name of their deities. The Crusades were defensive wars fought to keep the Islamic marauders out of Europe. Africa was not so lucky as it remains colonized by Islam to this day. 🤔
3. It's legacy of lobbying for war against other countries is a whole nother issue altogether though. We would need a different thread for that issue. 🤔
I paid more than that when there was scarcity. Be grateful we are not importing...where would we get petrol from these days? Petrol would have been N5000 per liter by now...add the manager and attendants' extra, it would likely go for N8000 - N10000 per liter and can only be purchased by connection only.
Nigeria is currently facing a serious rise in the cost of living, and fuel prices are at the center of the crisis. Many Nigerians are now sharing their real-life experiences, and the situation is becoming alarming.
In this video, we highlight shocking reactions from Nigerians who say that ₦100,000 is no longer enough to fill a car fuel tank. One individual revealed spending over ₦93,000 just to fill up, while another claimed to have spent more than ₦300,000 on fuel in just one week. These are not isolated cases — they reflect what millions of Nigerians are going through daily.
With unstable electricity supply, many households and businesses rely heavily on fuel to power generators. As fuel prices continue to rise, the cost of transportation, food, and basic living also increases. This has led to growing frustration across the country.
Some people are even pointing out that major roads, including the Third Mainland Bridge, appear less busy than usual — a possible sign that fewer people can afford to move around like before.
But the Catholic Church used to have Crusaders and Papal Army. Ni bo la tun ja si bayi. The Catholic Church used to wage war and support countries against one another by claiming Holy War for God. This is why Queen Elizabeth broke away from the Pope and they created Protestants. Go and watch some of these shows on NetFlix then research the History behind them all...unfortunately the church has blood on its hand, so no one really care about what the Pope says anymore.
The UFC may be looking for new champ and just stagging all these to bring credibility to the new champ. Adesanya is still popular so win or lose, he will cash out. I am not 100 percent certain UFC isnt fixed. Even Boxing sef is not 100 percent
Where is @Botraglad....maybe on the Frontline or hiding inside the basement like other Israelis. You can destroy and kill thousands while hiding inside shelters...isnt that cowardice? Faithless ...I just cant stand Netanyahu. We cannot wait to vote this November. Israel will expect US to pay them billions to rebuild...they may just be shocked Americans won't support this...we shall vote all of them out if they do.
who did she grease? Trump's wife Melania? Trump was a Billionaire in Dollars before becoming the President. The whole budget of Nigeria cannot be used to grease palms...unless you think it is the money paid to the law office that is being at played here. All in all, you spread conspiracy without proofs.
Galactics: After much 'greasing of palms'. Why won't she be positioned at the center.
