Glorious days when we broke big balls. Space has long gone to the dogs.

Looooong time comrade, hope youve been well.

Damn! You're a sycophant. Just admit it.

Midolian stop lying, you still are a lackey of the demonic party APC. Saraki is not a saint, But deep in your heart you know that his time was much better than now, Just like Nigerians have experienced the so called "change" of APC.

It’s 2026 and we’re still pretending that asking questions about tax law equals ‘misinforming people’? Interesting.

If a tax reform needs endless press conferences, TV interviews, Twitter post, just to explain what it really means, maybe, just maybe, the problem isn’t politics or anyone trying to score cheap political gains. The problem is with those who formulate the policy.

When a law is clear, it speaks for itself. When it’s constantly being clarified, that’s a red flag, not opposition propaganda.

And since we’re talking substance, perhaps Taiwo Oyedele should first explain why there are two different versions of the new tax law before expecting anyone to take this rebuttal seriously

The mindset of paying out of pocket and in full in one fell swoop for everything is what is making people outraged.
A Nigerian wants a house, he starts thinking how to "gather" the entire money for it.
Abroad that people drive mostly new cars, people don't pay for them at once at of pocket, they use finance facilities that enable them pay in installments. Same with housing, they use mostly mortgages.
Same with even gadgets and home appliances.

Nigerians are not future thinking people. People want everything now. Nobody wants to do anything long term.
That is why nothing works.

Hamas never see anything yet. You price, you pay.

For the war to end, Hamas has to release the remaining hostages, shikena!

Didn't Ortom endorse Obi in the 2023 presidential elections?

Those hating on the Universe anointed GOAT are doomed to fall...

Mbappe just discovered he will fall, if he keep hating on Messi, he don change mouth

As for CR7 and his fans they will learn the hard way.

There's only one GOAT in the universe...Lionel Andres Messi...the Lion 🦁 himself the Indabosky pahose

This is the most laughable thing I've read on the internet today. She is not my Ifueko. But facts are sacred.

First, this conversation started with regards to employment and bringing people into the FIRS, not about other aspects of Ifueko's work.

Now if we're to talk about employment, did Nami advertise any job at the FIRS all through his time? He never did. In fact, in that regard, Fowler is better than him. Fowler remains the last FIRS Chairman to publicly advertise for roles at the agency. Under Nami, FIRS jobs became 5 million naira. Under him, Nupe boys and boys from his area in Tunga, Minna, got jobs without going through the processes of employment. It was under Nami that the HR in FIRS didn't even know about vacancies, until when it's time to document new members of staff.

But it's only on Nairaland and Twitter that folks who know nothing, are nothing, argue on a subject that they're so ignorant about. I don't have the time nor the energy to start listing Ifueko's achievements here. They're too many.

Even Nami knows he can't even lace the shoes of that woman. You might get stoned the day you enter any FIRS office, or even Revenue House in Berger, Abuja, to speak like this about Ifueko.

None of those who came after her have been good enough to lace her shoes.

zicoraads:
If you ever, ever mention Ifueko Omoigui Okauru's name in the same breath with Fowler and Nami again, God will punish you.

Ifueko is a legend in FIRS. Downright the best boss in the agency's history. Only one that gave jobs to nobodies, without asking for anything or anyone presenting a letter from anywhere.

The Namib almost turned that place to Nupe Revenue service the way he flooded his kinmen with that office.

My rejoinder to the Cable Story: “Ex-FIRS Boss Nami Approved N11bn ‘Suspicious’ Payments After His Exit

My attention has been drawn to a mischievous story by the Cable Newspaper claiming that I made approvals of over N11 billion after taking my pre-retirement leave.

Nothing can be further from the truth. The entire story was sensationally written with mischief that took the ordinary events of my work out of context with the intent to tarnish my image.

First and foremost, I want to categorically state that after my exit as FIRS Executive Chairman, I made no such approvals as claimed in the report.

Fundamentally: It is important to note that no payment was made by the Service after the announcement of my pre-retirement leave as claimed by this story. An approval for payment in the Service is one step of a journey to payment.

It is the custom that when a new Executive Chairman resumes office, he would review, validate and make final authorisation before any payments can be made.

It is important to note for the record that all decisions reached and extant liabilities/ commitments of the Service during my stay in office are contained in the handover notes I made available to my successor, Mr. Zacch Adedeji. He is fully briefed on everything.

For clarity the items listed in the Cable Newspaper Report were part of the N16 billion outstanding commitments contained in our handover note.

The N5 billion paid to Joint Tax Board was paid to fund the activities of Presidential Committee on Tax and Fiscal Policy Reforms two months before I left office.

It was paid after we received a letter to that effect from the office of Mr. President signed by Zacch Adedeji himself.

The report maliciously attempts to portray a picture that I hurriedly left the country on September 16th after these so called suspicious approvals were made.

Again, nothing can be further from the truth. If I traveled out of the country on the 16th of September, how then did I attend the handover ceremony with Mr. Zacch on the afternoon of Monday 18th September 2023?

That handover ceremony was covered by the media, and can be cross-checked.

It is disappointing to see the Cable, a revered online newspaper attempt to sensationalise events that took place in the ordinary course of my work in office, making them seem as if they were done in bad faith

I want to categorically state that every decision I made within the time of my stay in office was within the ambit of the law and within the lawful powers I exercised then as Executive Chairman.

I inherited only N1.4 billion in the purse of the FIRS when I assumed office. I left N129 billion in the purse of the Service when I left.

Still 100 Naira to withdraw ten thousand (10k) , I don't know why some people are wailing about this Naira redesign.

I'm currently in the most rural part of Kebbi state and every store accept transfer, I paid for a loaf kainuwa bread which is 350 naira with transfer this morning, using my Opay app.

Nigerians wailing about this are those that want to make it hard for themselves.

I haven't held more than 3k cash since this whole design issue, my card and transfer, accepted, kebbi and sokoto state.

So I wonder why those in the so called educated area's are finding it difficult to adjust.

Me an APC supporter , me that have bought coffin to bury APC ..
No one supports APC, they only deserve fire

This country has gone to the dogs.

Details of the judgement please.

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

I have noticed the fake likes by Tinubu Bots. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to find a permanent solution to this problem.

I have failed to deploy the solutions that I have because I feel they will either be circumvented pretty easily or cause too much collateral damage.

1. If you have ideas, please post them here.
2. Please use this page to report any post that has a suspiciously high number of likes.

I apologize for the delay in fixing this problem. We will fix this and any other problems as soon as possible.

Regards,
Seun.
