😂😂 am I the only one seeing Russia included in this🧐🧐.
Okay oooo.

No country would enter Gaza without Israeli permission! It is impossible. Mark my words!
You think Russia is not mindful of this, or you think they can just enter a war zone anyhow?

Mabco:
U R BURNING INSIDE U AT EVERY SLIGHTEST MEANS OF ENDING THAT WAR. WHY . MANY PALESTINIANS HAVE SUFFERED IN THE HANDS OF ISRAELITES BEFORE HAMAS ATTACK.

So what do you want?
You want Hamas to keep holding on to the hostages while Israel keeps begging them on their knees or what?
Holding on to the hostages is a declaration of war by Hamas

GeneralDae:
Let’s all just wait and follow the Taiwo Oyedele meeting. We would summarize the nuances after that.

I entered a twitter space two days ago where tax (as related to the stock market and fixed income market) was being discussed, they invited a tax expert but I entered late and they were almost done. But it seemed the tax guy (guest speaker) did a good job answering most of the questions.

So I believe there would be clarity when more of these guys come out to explain the nuances involved.

I strongly believe they have modelled their system based on the European model but in a little bit more progressive way.

That Taiwo has nothing new or different or useful to say. I have heard him speak on Channels. Even if there are other ways to avoid the tax, he would not say it. You may have to other tax consultants or advisers.
They just deceived Nigerians and the useless National Assembly allowed them by passing the law.

GeneralDae:
CGT rate for companies was raised from 10% to 30% the last I checked while for individuals it’s progressive and ranges from 7% to 25%.

So why must an individual pay potentially up to 25% CGT on gains in NGX?
And they were telling lies that the new tax law is more beneficial to people?

God1000:
Every signatory to the Geneva Conventions must act now.


France, UK, Australia, Canada, Spain and the rest should do the same, it's time to put Israel where it belongs

Let's see if Bibi will dare attack this frigate

The frigate would not do shit if Israel does not want it or did not permit it! It can never enter Gaza without Israel's permission.
Gaza is a war zone right now and nobody can just enter the place without permission from Israel, not even Russia, China, Italy, France, UK Canada and the rest.

I entered a twitter space two days ago where tax (as related to the stock market and fixed income market) was being discussed, they invited a tax expert but I entered late and they were almost rounding off.

What is progressive in asking individuals to pay almost 25 percent CGT but companies would pay 10 percent?
Who carries higher relative risk burden in the capital market between a company and an individual and who should be rewarded or incentivized more?

GeneralDae:
I would dig further but I think I have heard Taiwo Oyedele say there are exemptions. The problem with information on this new tax laws generally is that people prefer to listen to influencers and non tax experts and then ignore Taiwo and the FIRS guys who are all over the place answering questions and explaining.

“There is an exemption threshold raised: for sale of shares in Nigerian companies, the gross proceeds threshold is now ₦150 million in any 12 consecutive months. 
Also, gains do not exceed ₦10 million in that period may qualify under the exemption”.
“For individuals, CGT continues but will be taxed at the individual’s applicable income tax rate (“progressive tax band”) rather than a flat 10%”[b][/b].

That even does not make sense!
Why must an individual (with higher risk burden) pay a higher rate in CGT than a company?

BondRiv:
The land belongs to Palestinians, whether the U.S. recognises that or not. All the Israelis should go to the U.S. or return to their origin which is Europe since they don't want peace. Land grabbers.

There is no country or indigenous people called ''Palestine'' or ''Palestinians''. They only coined the word less than 100 years ago.
The land of Israel has been in existence for more than 2,000 years. David, Solomon, even Jesus Christ lived in the Land of Israel when there was nothing like Palestine.

You can go and drive away the Europeans back to Europe. They are descendants of Israeli Jews and they are living on the land of their forefathers

I am Israel. I never miss a chance to claim victimhood while inflicting violence.

In 1947, the United Nations handed me more than half of someone else’s land. A gift I didn’t earn, from colonial powers who didn’t own it. I accepted. My neighbors objected. I called it war—and in the chaos, I began my cleansing. Over 700,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes—some fled, yes—but many were forced out at gunpoint, their villages razed, their names erased.

Then I planted pine trees over the ruins—to hide the memory. Forests where homes once stood. Parks over cemeteries. I made it green so the world wouldn’t see the black underneath. I called it “reforestation.” They called it erasure.

I am Israel. I have never chosen peace—only dominance.

In 1967, I launched a pre-emptive war and seized Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and Sinai. I claimed it was for security. I held onto it for power. I built settlements, one by one, choking Palestinian towns. International law said it was illegal. I ignored it. My map grew. Their freedom shrank.

I am Israel. I could have ended the occupation. Many times. But I always said no.

In 2000, at Camp David, I offered a patchwork of disconnected enclaves surrounded by walls, checkpoints, and soldiers. I called it peace. Palestinians walked away. I called them extremists. Then I built a wall, not on my border—but deep in theirs. I called it security. They called it theft.

I am Israel. I glorify militarism. I raise children to believe they are chosen.

My textbooks erase Palestine. My soldiers patrol streets with rifles pointed at teenagers. My media justifies bombings. My politicians joke about flattening Gaza. I send airstrikes to refugee camps, schools, and hospitals. Then I say they were human shields.

I am Israel. I elected Netanyahu. Again and again.

Not once, by mistake. But knowingly. I voted for leaders who vowed to crush the Palestinians, to expand settlements, to never allow a Palestinian state. My ministers speak of “the Arabs” as a demographic threat. My settlers burn olive trees. My mobs chant “Death to Arabs.” I call it patriotism.

I am Israel. I speak of democracy—but deny it to millions under my control.

I rule over millions who cannot vote in the country that controls their lives. I build roads they cannot drive on. I issue permits for them to breathe, to move, to live. I bomb Gaza, then seal it off and say it’s their fault. I say I left Gaza—but I control its air, sea, and borders. I say they are free—then I starve them.

I am Israel. I demand recognition—but give none in return.

I demand that Palestinians accept me as a Jewish state—while refusing to even say the word “Nakba.” I ignore the homes, lands, and history of those I displaced. I hold their keys in museums, not their hands. I deny the refugees their right to return. I make laws that call them “absentees,” even when they’re just over the hill.

I am Israel. I cry antisemitism—when what I fear is accountability.

I call any critic a hater. I blur the line between Judaism and Zionism, using one to shield the crimes of the other. I weaponize history to excuse apartheid. I manipulate trauma to justify conquest. I say “Never again”—but let it happen to others, by my own hand.

I am Israel. I will never be secure.

🇵🇸🇵🇸FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸

So all the history that you know about Israel starts from 1947, just about 75 years ago! Congratulations!
Just last week, PM Netanyahu told the world about the artefact that Turkey found which shows evidence of Israel and Jewish ownership of Jerusalem since 2,700 years ago.
You are here quoting 1947, 1967 and 2000!

PigTormentor:
This is an effort in futility. It will eventually come to pass. The same way they opposed Mandela back then.
They supported the apartheid regime back then too using the same excuses and illogical reasons.
Sooner ot later, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.
IT WILL HAPPEN IN MY LIFE TIME.

South Africa apartheid and Mandela are purely man-made and have no Biblical or historical background beyond the adventure of white rule in Africa.
Israel has a history dating back to more than 2,000 years, long before UN or UK or US existed.

slivertongue:
Jews are citizens of all European countries, some Asian and Latin American countries. They pull strings globally. A two state solution is good but not the Palestine of Hamas because they will invite endless war.

The so called 2-state solution is now a mirage!
It could have happened years ago, but no longer possible with what Hamas has done.
Israel would make sure they impose themselves on their ancient land Judea and Samaria (the so called West Bank) and declare full sovereignty over it and Jerusalem. The worst that would happen is another war and Israel is ready and they will in again.
Hamas has destroyed the prospects of a 2 state solution.

emmanuelewumi:
They also pay Capital Gain Tax in advanced markets.
I don't think you will be subjected to CGT if you sell after a year

Lol
You want to start comparing us with advanced markets? Please don't start.

Are they going to isolate each stock one sells and calculate N150m gain on each one separately, or they would put everything in a basket and calculate N150m gain?

Agbalowomeri:
They need to bear in the risk too. If I make a 100m, dem go collect 25. If I lose 50m, I should be able to write it into future tax otherwise it doesn't make sense

Ideally, that should be it.
But I strongly doubt if it would be like that. How about those who had been making losses for years and not yet recovered? And even making a paltry N150m gain in a year taxable.
I just hope the law would not take effect or be implemented because it would cause huge capital flight from NGX and the country at large.

PETERiCHY:
Even the DING man replacement came late

Well what we are witnessing is the beginning of CGT BEAR.
If you know you know

BARGAIN HUNTERS TAKE NOTE!

The capital gain tax nonsense by this govt is what would kill this NGX if care is not taken.
Revenue to govt has quadrupled but they still have nothing to show for it, yet they want to steal from investors through CGT

Agbalowomeri:
Even the DING man don vacate

Na wa for wahala

chigozie69:
It was bought in May, this year

Cheque for the qualifying date and the date you bought the shares.
You must have bought the shares atleast 3 days before the qualifying date, to be qualified to received the dividend

Hamas started the war?

All these children that only read their news on social media. That's the reason this war as gone on for so long with so much propaganda against Palestinians. Too many uninformed folks out here. Even Israel will laugh at what you wrote. Lol.

Hamas started the war. Lol.

No, Hamas did not start the war. It is Boko Haram that started it on Oct 7, 2023.
And before you start talking about 1948 and 1967, talk about 1000BC when David, Solomon and Hezekiah were Kings over the same land.

Judolisco:
What stops macron from stopping it.... E go jst dey yarn dust tell hamas to release the hostages.... U see as Egypt and Saudi Arabia jst dey mind their business... Dem no even chuk mouth again for isreal-Gaza matter.... They've been fighting for ages, when they are tired, they'll stop.... D only ambition of a Palestinian is to harm/kill an isreali....i got to know this in the 2008 war.... D hate is inbuilt, it will take more than trump to end it, d only thing that will end it is if either the Palestines move from that land or the entire Jews move.... And I don't think if either is possible

One side will surely move. But Israelis will not because they are residing in their God given land and had been there for thousands of years before any Arab came to live there

Flows001:
Which land??

Let me educate and purge you of your ignorance:

UNDILUTED FACTS

Actually, in this piece of land, there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE!

Thanks for this well-researched piece.
Those who want to believe in lies and propaganda would avoid all these historical facts but begin their own history from 1948 and 1967

Mirasteel:
South Africa has been supporting Palestine right from the days of Mandela because they themselves knows how it feels to be oppressed in their land.

In which ''their land''? Does Jerusalem and other places like Hebron, Bethlehem belong to so called ''Palestinians''?

GeneralDae:
There is supply now for CBN and banks which means majority of people who normally get from official sources do not have to depend on aboki.
Just like we don’t have fuel scarcity at the moment, the black market guys are now more passive currently because no queues at filling stations (official channels).

My friend stop doing parralel comparison between fuel and dollars or using it to justify the govt's policy actions . The govt got is wrong with the reckless, hastymanner they handled the 2 policies. Now that companies are unable to import raw materials and machine for industrial production we know what is happening. Even keke Marwa is selling for over N3m, money that could have bought Toyota Corolla or 2 units of 2003 Toyota Camry

placeofallure:
I agree with you a hundred per cent. Sir Ebenezer Obey is my preferred of the two. His music is melodious and not as jazzy as KSA's. He's prolific too. I don't think there's any Nigerian artist as prolific as Ebenezer Obey. Twale Sir!

Exactly! Composition, lyrics, arrangement melody, excellent guitar works. Give it to Chief Ebenezer Obey

chigozie69:
Hello experts in the house. The last zenith dividends that was paid, I wasn't paid. Wats the cause, and how do I go about it? Note that I have had Zenith shares since 6-8 months now.

Did you buy the shares before the qualifying cut-off date? One may have shares for months without qualifying for dividend depending on the date one bought or sold the shares.

HisaacPlus:
The famous 1971 handshake between musicians Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey.

The handshake is historically instructive as it became newsworthy at the particular time following claims of a rivalry which lasted for many years.

Recently, Ebenezer Obey said the rivalry was a concoction by fans and the media. "The competition between myself and KSA was projected by fans and media. It almost turned our music into politics. I thank God it never happened.

Every time, it was “Obey this, Sunny that”, we both always ensured that we neutralised all that fake rivalry. This was why I said that in one-word musicians should not see themselves as competitors but as contributors to the growth of the Nigerian music industry," he said.

Meanwhile Happy 79th Birthday to a living legend, Juju Maestro, King Sunday Adegeye aka King Sunny Ade
📊 🚨King Sunny Ade isFirst Nigerian Artiste to be nominated for Grammy in 1983 for his work "Synchro System" 📀🎵

- He took JuJu music to the world🌎

Sunny contributed his quota to Juju music.
But we should stop using all this Grammy award thing to judge or rate musicians. Bob Marley never won a Grammy but he i far greater and better than most of those that won those awards.
If you watched and listen to Ebenezer Obey's shows and gigs in Europe,US and Canada earlier, you would realize that every one of them did their best.

Same argument as before: the MPR was below 20% for years before this administration came in and pushed it to 27.5%. Now they’ve reduced it by just 0.5%—not even up to 1%—and some people are jubilating. It’s almost as if General is Cardoso’s brother.

Thank you my brother. This shows how some of us celebrate mediocrity in this country.
Somebody took dollar exchange rate from N480 to N1,550, and now some people want us to celebrate because it is now N1,490 or so.

My comment is not in specific reference to General ooo, just my general observation of how some of us do.

olig:
Thanks a lot.

I don't want to sell yet. I just want it migrated to my trading account. Morgan did not respond to my request regarding that.

Follow my explanations very well.
I don't think you can migrate the shares to your trading account. It is either you sell or you leave the shares in the CSCS account. That is your main account with the NGX/SEC and your shares are even more secure and safer in the CSCS.
Every shares that you have must appear in the CSCS account, otherwise you don't own the shares anymore

Without being able to produce any evidence in Court.

We know there is heavy corruption in Nigeria. Have we been able to provide evidence to support what we all know?
Lack of evidence, sometimes, does not mean it did not happen.

Making OANDO Bonus tradeable

Please, how do I make my OANDO bonus tradable? It is showing in my CSCS account, but not in my trading account. I contacted Morgan more than two weeks ago, but nothing seems to have been done

Usually, the trading account is with your broker, and it would show transactions that you have done through them (buying/selling/cash deposits/withdrawals) and the cash balance. Share bonuses given by companies normally go directly into your CSCs account without passing through your broker, hence those would not appear in your trading (broker's) account.
But once you are sure the shares are in your CSCS account, you can sell directly if you have online access or you fill a mandate form and give to your broker to sell on your behalf and the cash proceeds will be credited to your trading account..

PuristForest:
Usually the maths for ro's adds up to better profits in the mid to long term, but they have not helped to make it attractive pricing the rights issue very close to market price...considering the asset will be locked for about 5- 8 weeks...

Such pricing is probably a strategy to discourage members of public so the directors and insiders can buy virtually all the shares

Why is it mostly ladies that died? Were they too weak to escape? Or is it that the company employs mostly ladies? Those MDs always looking for easy targets that they can me-ntorrr.

RIP to them all.

Does it mean the tall building does not have external stairs for emergency exits like in this situation, or they could not find ways to open the exit doors?
