ajufinz: 504 SR
Then 505 Evolution...

at the 504SR, that car made many people ran mad in my village. then, they will go and do money ritual just to own 504SR. and when it back fires, they start singing 504 Series II all over the town.

But for me, my best car still remains TOYOTA CROWN.

I think you should know my age with that

trix!:
Its amazing how people come here on NL to abuse the President of the federal Republic of Nigeria.
Many of these people have never led even a small group of people, and have made no sort of achievement.
No sincere person would say Nigeria hasn't improved. Or you think all the improvements in Lag was done by Fashola alone?

You come here to insult GEJ, what did your father achieve in his life? Where were you when GEJ became deputy Gov of bayelsa? Even simple ward chairmanship election, you can't win, its to come and spew trash on NL!

i don't think it is everybody that will become president, governor, dangote or adenuga.

that does not stop someone from making their views known.

that is their views, let's leave it to them

Biggyd2: He is lucky nau. He is in London enjoying light to watch the match but in Nigeria most people had no light to do same. Una try!

that was why he had to go to london. he didn't trust nepa, even in aso rock

Dignitary: We are still celebrating our GOLD!!! Why this rubbish?

NA REAL RUBBISH. I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE THIS ON FRONT PAGE THIS MORNING. NONESENSE

Gbenge 77: Gbenge 77: The Burkinabe side are fluid and cohesive.Their two holding midfielders rarely venture forward,while allowing the full backs freedom to overlap.They dont play aimless balls.When tightly marked,they play one-twos until they are able to play a forward pass,while pressing energetically.Bance holds up play excellently,returns a pass,and moves int position.Kabore's does a marvellous job of probing the opposition defence with his measured passing.Against Ghana,their two holding midfielders rarely ventured forward,thereby stifling Ghanaian attacks through the centre.Bance even retreated to break up Ghanas play on a couple of occasions.Their style of play is fluid and cohesive,and their high,enegetic ,pressing Game can hurt any team ,forcing the oppositions defence into misplaced passes.This occured when Badu was caught in possesion and Bance finished nicely. Nigeria has to be wary of this.BURKINA FASO'S WEAKEST LINK IS KOULIBALY.On an occasion,he tried to play the offside trap,inadvertently playing Gyan through,but Gyans shot clipped the crossbar.Later,he lashed out at Gyan inside the box.Nigeria have to take advantage of him. Nigeria on the other hand play a nice,passing game,with Mikel directing play,but there are three components to Nigerias game. 1.MIKELS DIAGONALS TO THE WIDE PLAYERS,which sometimes leaves the opposition full backs at sea. 2.MOSES DRIFTING TO THE CENTRE-Mose receives the ball in a left position ,and quickly drifts inside,thereby functioning as an emergency number 10.By doing this,he attempts to take advantage of gaps in the oppositions defence. 3.THE CONSTANT OVERLAPPING THREAT OF THE FULL BACKS.This enabled Echiejile to score a goal in the last game. 4.RELENTLESS HARRYING OF THE OPPOSITION-Nigerian players harry,hound ,and mercillessly pursue the opposion,in a bid to stop them from playing.This was a bit effective agaist MALI In short,if Nigeria is able to stop the fluid,cohesive style of the Stallions,we will carry the day.Thats about it

It deserved to be re quoted

slim fit :
Furthermore, don't you know that going to nda is like going to university.

Are you serious? Never knew Buhari went to the NDA o!

The NDA is a military university. Most of these children are too young to know that.

The belief that mankind will rise from the grave, an integral part of the three Abrahamic faiths Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, is not just a myth or wishful thinking but is based on real scientific principles. Rising up from the grave and coming back alive can happen simply with the reversal of time.

"When we are dead and have become dust and bones, Shall then we indeed be raised again?" (Qur'an 56:47)

"Man thinks that, We shall not assemble his bones, Yes truly! We are able to restore his very fingers!" (Qur'an 75:3-4)

Many verses in the Qur'an describe the future of the universe and The Day of Judgment.

"We warn you of doom at hand. A day when a man will look on that his own hand has sent before, And the non-believers will cry: "Wish that we were dust."" (Qur'an 78:40)

"The earth with the mountains shall be lifted and crushed with one crash." (Qur'an 69:14)

"A day when the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder, And the angels will be sent down, a grand descent." (Quran:25:25)

"...And We gather them together, as to leave not one of them behind." (Qur'an18:47)

And the Jews say the Christians follow nothing [true], and the Christians say the Jews follow nothing [true]; yet both are readers of the Scripture. Even thus speak those who know not.[b]Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection[/b]concerning that wherein they differ

The anti-Islam movements' approach has been prejudiced, colored and unscientific. Their disinformation and misinformation based on exaggeration and fabrication touches the borders of imaginary events, and their attitude towards Muslims is dogmatic, unsympathetic and even hostile. This is generating pollution and because of this, the dirty A.I.R. (Anti- Semitism, Islamophobia and Racism) is in the air.

We must continue to fight the pollution of Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and Racism (A.I.R.). Let us work together to reduce pollution of hatred and extremism, clean the dirty air , dispense the truth, engage in building bridges of understanding and tolerance, strive hard to uphold diversity, and continue to support outreach programs.

bdul Munim Shakir wrote in the United States a poem for the Muslim children several decades ago. The last two lines say it all.

Through working together our hopes increase
To live in a world full of love and peace

Can you please show your statistics? I'm waiting for it. Otherwise, take a trip to ...

CrazyMan: I believe we're in much better form than Burkinafaso and Ethiopia...Zambia might try to be sturbbon but we would surely defeat them.

And before you begin to condemn the squad, as yourself if Burkinafaso or Ethiopia can stop Nigeria from advancing beyond the group stages.

I know they need to improve on the way they play, but is still see them topping the group.

Is it because they are Burkina Faso or Ethopia. Please note, names don't play football, ok?

So, Seun and his gangs has finally resolved to un-ban me?

Thanks but no thanks because i don open another account with another name

lukkie: The next thing for any sensible govt to do is extend the mandate of the committee so that all unverified data can be verified and the report re-submitted.

The style of this govt is to pretend to be fighting corruption when we all know it's not fighting jack. I don't know about you o but I'm not that easily deceived. The handwriting is clear on the wall. At the end of the day, this govt is will leave the oil industry worse than it met it.

That's my take too. And it's very simple

Ekans: And who will now highlight the ills of this directionless government?.No wonder you were certified crazy mr CRAZY MAN.Digest the message and leave the messanger.

exactly

playah P: "Illegal aliens"....

I support the idea of identity cards but who are the "illegal aliens"
Unless he is trying to push out foriegners(non-nigerians) without valid passport.

Cos any nigerian person has the right to be in ny state @ ny time

I think that is the point.

By the way, people like just over blowing issues. Why not let's just talk about the merit and demerit of the exercise and not about who is allien and who is not

BigBashiru: anybody with an iota of common sense should be opposing this scheme speaking from a religious perspective.
I remember when I was a child, it was said that during those end times the benefits of the 'system' will be heavily touted and it will be easily sold to the citizens; I had predicted on this forum before that the government will use security and immigration as an excuse for such a callous scheme. And make no mistake, this so called mark of the beast system is this ID card system - for it is universal across the world.

The Government of Nigeria needed to start with the cashless Nigeria project to eliminate cash, NUBAN now this ID card. These are the works of Satan. As stated, you must have ID for govt services. Before you talk me down for being a conspiracy theorist, visit Nigerian Identity Management Commission website - they basically used all of the phone companies as data collection agents, will implement a NIN system (like a social security number) and then this ID card. The one on the NIMC website is designed to be payment enabled, not sure if this is being implemented on a state by state basis.

Again there is an agenda here, the plan is Federal ID system - Lagos is always used to start with.

In theory, Lagos ID card is a good idea and I welcome i[/b]t - it is efficient. The [b]problem and associated religious implications arise when you cant do anything meaningful without the card. If you combine a cashless or semi-economy with an ID card that is payment enabled as shown on NIMC website - you lose privacy in your financial transactions as the govt can tell all your transactions, sales tax can be forced on you, if a dictactor gets into power in Nigeria, you can get arrested and imprisoned without cause.

The government can simply use tax IDs to identify people or plain old passport.

What's your point? You are speaking from both sides of your mouth. By the way, what has religion got to do with this?
you aren't quiet making sense. Could you be explicit

Gbawe: The registrations of over 20million people living in Lagos is aimed at providing better governance and to control the influx of illegal citizens

At the boldened does not include Nigerians. That's my take. It simply points to citizens of other non west african countries trooping into lagos through the various border post manned by the corrupt federal officials.

Aren't you aware of Chaddians, Beninous, Nigerians (i mean people from Niger) trooping to Lagos to work as Okadas. Even if there is Visa free movement for the people of Ecowas countries, isn't there suppose to be some control? The ID thing is not a bad idea, it isn't at all.

Let's see it start first, then let's see if non-lagos indegenes will be excluded from the exercise, we can then castigate.

No doubt I'm a fan of Fash, but I don't blindly support him, because he can't be right at all the times. But for this, at least, they must have done their study very well.

temithony: Please tell me, how bears the cost of the identity card?

The person that always been bearing the cost of Government expenditure ... And they are the ones who will benefit from the exercise.

You see my friend, let's at least wait and see the commencement of the exericse before we start criticising. Just like someone previously said on this tread and I quote:

if all those omo onile and agberos can register to vote, own bank cards, own mobile phones then getting a resident's ID shouldn't be a problem! i back this idea 100%. if another government comes in, they would continue where fashola stopped!

we all complain nigeria have no central database to identify culprits when criminal activities are committed. a man has stepped up to the plate to start acquiring data and you people are shouting him down - what is wrong with nigerians?

why are you people reluctant to positive changes? is this a tribal issue or a security issue? damned if the government proffers solutions, damned if they don't!!!

This is the point.

subnormal: I really dont understand what you mean when u say illegal immigrants. Is there any requirement, other than being a citizen of naija or having naija visa one has to meet before being allowed to stay in lag? I want states to have a good database of residents, but not ID cards...abi na visa

So, you cockroach brain no tell you say there are illegals citizens in Lagos? Aren't you aware that there are citizens of foreign nations stow away in containers to Lagos, aside from ecowas countries? You no get sense

coogar: if all those omo onile and agberos can register to vote, own bank cards, own mobile phones then getting a resident's ID shouldn't be a problem! i back this idea 100%. if another government comes in, they would continue where fashola stopped!

You make sense. A lot of sense

Emmyk: I think the longest hour for me is 5-6 hours, anything longer that will make me pity my laptop and even with the fan rolling in it, I feel it's not enough and I can assist it with my mouth... what about you?

Almost 24 hours. Now, the thing don vex pack up.

sucess001: desola...i tend to respect the female folk buh since u ve decided to be nasty here goes....first...i can use txt language cos this is a public forum and a social network...am not writing a 'brief'...


i see u also ignorant to knw there's no such docment as a 'legal representations'...

on the tax matter...pls counter my argument with a fiscal argument...not just show ur emotional instability...its a fiscal fact...go and ask anyone with basic knowledge of tax...


if u dont wanna take my word...oya lemme do some research for you and Mr. "Garri(x7) ...

"The term indirect tax has more than one meaning. In the colloquial sense, an indirect tax (such as sales tax, a specific tax, value added tax (VAT), or goods and services tax (GST)) is a tax collected by an intermediary (such as a retail store) from the person who bears the ultimate economic burden of the tax (such as the consumer). The intermediary later files a tax return and forwards the tax proceeds to government with the return. In this sense, the term indirect tax is contrasted with a direct tax which is collected directly by government from the persons (legal or natural) on which it is imposed. Some commentators have argued that "a direct tax is one that cannot be shifted by the taxpayer to someone else, whereas an indirect tax can be."[1]


Features

1.Indirect taxation is policy often used to generate tax revenue. Indirect tax is so called as it is paid indirectly by the final consumer of goods and services while paying for purchase of goods or for enjoying services.
2.Indirect tax is broadly based since it is applied to everyone in the society whether rich or poor.
3.The tax payer who pays the tax does not bear the burden of tax; the burden is shifted to the ultimate consumers.
4.In the case of a direct tax, the taxpayer has to bear the burden of tax personally; in case of indirect tax the taxpayer and the taxbearer are not the same person.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_tax




Investopedia explains 'Indirect Tax'

Indirect taxes can also be defined as fees that are levied equally upon taxpayers, no matter their income. This is a primary reason why they are thought of as taxes that are passed on, as the price of the tax is compensated for by simply increasing the overall price of the good or service

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/indirecttax.asp


you want more education? word ofadvise...before we talk...lets get informed opinion...pls

I wish you come back to read this post. In as much as I agree to your expalantion about indirect tax and all that, I would not accept them because you used wikipedia. No, I wont take wikipedia. I accept investpodia but no wikipedia. Please look for a better referal and not wikipedia.

I'm quiet sure you know you can't use that for your law school assignment. So, change it. Thanks

GARRI (x7):
He only said:

[size=20pt]"IF YOU CANNOT OBEY THE LAW GO BACK TO YOUR FFUUCCKKIINNGG VILLAGE"[/size]

That's exactly what he said. And don't forget that Lagos indigenes also have villages. So, he may also be reffering to Lagosiana as well to go back to their villages such as Abaranje, Oke Langbodo etc

These people are just playing us like a pawn on the chess board: None of the probe report has seen the light of the day. One thing will surely bring it down to discredit, rubbish or do what ever with it, amd at the end of the day, it just goes down into history.

Never had trust in the exercise at the on-set anyway.
