I keep saying it that people are NOT smart.
And I have NOT been proven wrong.

For instance, the Representatives listed in this article are ALL REPUBLICANS. Even Ted Cruz is a Republican.

Their number 1 DONOR is American ISRAEL Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

The FALSE claim of genocide is being sponsored by Israel.
And it's easy to know why.

Plus, this are people who are so EAGER to get behind a FALSE claim of genocide but would NEVER say anything about the one in Gaza.

Many of them would even deny the one in Gaza.

Finally, these are Republicans and EVERYBODY knows that it's a party of PDFiles.

However, officials told the New York Times that the American military cannot do much to quell the violence unless it is willing to start an Iraq- or Afghanistan-style campaign.

"A logistical and military nightmare which AI analysis equated to ''Iraq + Afghanistan X 10''

This is EVERYTHING I've been trying to say.

Thank God this one is even coming from heavily COMPROMISED New York Times.

Biodun556:
Are you a Northerner?

Northerners deserve to get killed?

TOO MANY DUMB People in this country.

We DESERVE to be bombed!

Is the SANCTION against Nigeria targeted at terrorists?
Did the PDFile's intervention in Nigeria have a religious QUALIFICATION?

Is this an attack on TERRORISTS or an attack on Nigeria under a FALSE claim of Christian Genocide?

Many of you are DEVOID of Critical Thinking abilities.
Others have been MANIPULATED by American Media.

It's NO wonder countries with serious governments BAN American Media and Social Media.

The PDFile is a WEAK man who only bullies WEAKER people.

The ONLY tool in his arsenal is BULLYING.
If that FAILS, he has NOTHING.

Take a look at the "new" deal he signed with China.
It's ATROCIOUS!

What he did when he was sworn in was to DESTROY the existing China-America Trade Deal in a bid to bully China.

He MISCALCULATED.
China remained FIRM and UNYIELDING.

That's when he hopped on a plane and took a ROUNDABOUT route to meet Xi in Asia.

The "new" deal is just the PDFile BACKTRACKING on the things he did to make the previously established deal WORSE.

ALL he did was return to the OLD Deal before he nuked it with a clause to revisit it in a year.

In another year, he'd do the same thing again.
He'll try to bully China, he'll be REJECTED.
He'll throw a tantrum with tariffs and sanctions and then go back to the SAME deal.

His DUMB supporters will say he's making so many deal.

mikeapollo:
But I will also discuss with my brokers if I can arrange some cross-deals with them to beat the CGT law if possible.

Sounds like Tax Planning to me.

NTAA 2025 says you MUST disclose this.
And that the Tax Authority has the power to INVALIDATE such arrangements and tax you accordingly.

Even though Tax Planning and Tax Avoidance is LEGAL, the New Laws have a provision that OBLIGATES you to tell them how you are planning to avoid tax and essentially gives them the power to REJECT your tax planning and tax avoidance measures.

It's one of the most RIDICULOUS things I've ever read in my entire life.

Oyedele really COOKED with the New Laws.

Trump should BEG Tinubu to teach him how to RIG elections otherwise it's OVER for the Republicans.

Americans are NOT smart people.
They NEVER learn from other people's experiences.
They ONLY learn from their OWN experiences.

They'll reject Democrats.
And vote for Republicans who'll show them PEPPER.

After that, they'll return to Democrats and BEG for salvation.

The cycle has been around FOREVER.

If Americans were SMART, Republicans would NEVER hold any positions. Ever!
Not even Toilet Monitor.

All you have to do is look at their respective ideologies and the choice is VERY obvious.

Zohran!


Bullies have ZERO power when you IGNORE them and do your thing.

Answer 1: If America invades, you don't need to worry about hope. They will bomb EVERYBODY.
If they don't bomb you, the Nigerian Military will CONSCRIPT you, your father and your grandfather.
If you have a 16-year old son, they'll CONSCRIPT him too.

Answer 2: Where did you get this NONSENSE?
The "Elites" will jet out and will be gladly granted ASYLUM by China and Russia.
It's you and yours who'll remain and get BOMBED to stupor.

Answer 3: Do you think they'll extract the resources and leave? They'll need to CLEAR the vicinity and HOLD on to it. That means MORE killing.
Plus, if you DON'T see anything wrong with a foreigner SNATCHING your countries resources when they have theirs; you have a BIGGER problem.

Answer 4: This is tautological. Refer to Answer 3.

Answer 5: Of course, yes! So are Muslims. Nigerians are getting KILLED indiscriminately.
However, ONLY Im.be.ciles think the solution is an INVASION by a country who elected a PDFile as President.

Answer 6: Ask your Parish Pastor.

Answer 7: Does the THREAT sound like an offer of help to you?
Has the US offered Military and Intelligence support and have a Nigerian government REJECT their offer?
Does the suggestion by a Trump ally to establish a base in Port Harcourt correlate with the reality of the fact that 100% of all terrorist attacks take place in the North?

You have to give it to the American MOERRRONS!

NOBODY does hypocrisy like the Americans.


Imagine this Riley MooreON saying that China will not dictate policy to them but they will dictate policy to Nigeria.

He's claiming that China's Communist Authoritarian should be ignored.
But the American Capitalist Authoritarian should be revered.

One other pointer of this particular FOOL's hypocrisy is that he's saying that the crackdown of Christianity in China sponsored and orchestrated by the Chinese Government is NOT grounds for the US to Invade China (and DIE! ).

But the killing of Nigerians by TERRORISTS (not the government) who killed both Christians and Muslims is sufficient grounds for INVASION.

If NOT for the fact that America is riddled with DUMB racists, there is ZERO reason for this guy to smell Public Office.

That's what you get when you vote for a FELON.

The law is now just a suggestion.

I've attached a screenshot for those who don't know why the American Government has been shutdown for over 30 days.

Interesting to see the typically SPINELESS Democrats showing some spine.

chimex38:
The tax act itself says 50m for CIT exemption. This man has been going about saying 100m

Thanks for pointing this out.

It's s ALARMING.
But also very FUNNY.


The person complaining about FAKE news related to the New Tax Laws is the number one spreader of fake news related to the New Tax Laws.

It's even worse since he's the Chief Architect of the laws.
He's the kind of person they called a SUPER-SPREADER during the time of Corona.

He has been attending conferences and symposiums and telling people that Small Companies are companies with Turnover of #100M or less and Total Fixed Assets of #250M or less WHILE the NTA and NTAA defines Small Companies as companies with Turnover of #50M or less and Total Fixed Assets of #250M or less.

This is very BAD.
And NOBODY on his team corrected him.

It could also be that somebody (the Lawmakers) tampered with the Final Drafts and Oyedele failed to review the ones published in the official gazette.

By the way, PwC published Oyedele's #100M definition on their official website.
An egregious mistake on their part.

Someone should inform Oyedele.
Maybe they'll review the New Laws and POSTPONE the date it goes into effect 'cause #50M is too SMALL a threshold.

ojeysky:
How does the tax work with dividends received for the year? If your cumulative dividend which will normally be paid directly to your account is over 10m will you be taxed?

Withholding Tax of 10% is charged on Dividends before they even get to your account. The WHT is treated as the Final Tax.

Even if you get cumulative dividends of #1 Billion, you'll NOT be charged any income tax on it as long as it's already been subjected to WHT.

This is why Church Business is BOOMING in every corner of Nigeria.

Nigerians are IRREDEEMABLY DUMB!

The screenshots are CLEARLY a Mockery of Nigerians based on their RUINED reputation of being scammers.

Yet the OP and many of the commenters MISINTERPRETED such an obvious thing.

Yahoo Boys RUINED your reputation as a country.
They MOCK you based on that.
And you say they are mocking your President.

Very DUMBF!

Finally, even if Americans were indeed mocking Tinubu; I would be totally UNCONCERNED.

My President is NOT a FELON.
My President is NOT a PDFile.
My President is NOT a RAYPIST.

That makes My President a MILLION times BETTER than theirs.

Reminds me of this Rick and Morty quote:

"Your boos mean NOTHING to me, I've seen what makes you cheer."

“Security is security. What’s the difference between this new $11.50 and the $20 already being collected?”


Tinubu is HELLBENT on taxing Nigerians to DEATH.

Apparently, they already charge a similar tax of $20. Now they want an additional $11.50.

Tinubu is taxing everybody HOME-and-AWAY.


If you stay in Nigeria, TAX.
If you try to Japa, he'll still SQUEEZE you for a little tax.

awesomeJ:
Are you saying Christians are not being killed??

If terrorists killed 4 Christians and 6 Muslims, and I say terrorists killed Christians, how is it hard for you to see that my statement is factual.


The US is saying Christians are being massacred in Nigeria, the fact that Muslims are also massacred doesn't invalidate that statement, the only thing that does is if no Christians are indeed killed.

The only thing you can pick the US for is why they aren't showing concerns for slain Muslims as they are for slain Christians.

But that's their choice, it doesn't render their concern invalid.

Whether you like it or not, the US will tilt towards Christianity more, plus their thinking is that the perpetrators are islamists so why should they bother.

It's like if Nigerian terrorists go to a place to kill Nigerians and Israelis and then the US complains about the slain Israelis and you try to say their complaints aren't valid cos Nigerians were also slain. In that context, the US cares more about Israelis ordinarily, then again they believe the perpetrators are themselves Nigerians, so maybe they don't care as much.

Lots of smart people on this thread blinded by RELIGIOUS FANATISM.

Just take a look at this NONSENSE.
The entire post VALIDATES my points.

First, I NEVER disputed the fact that Christians are part of the casualties of terrorism in Nigeria.

My point is, and has ALWAYS been, the deaths are NOT tantamount to Christian Genocide.

If an attack kills 6 Muslims and 4 Christians, saying that the attack is evidence of Christian Genocide is MADNESS!

For reference, look up the meaning of genocide.

Next, the US is NOT saying Christians are being massacred. It's saying that they are being TARGETED specifically because of their faith.

My question is simple:

If you intend to EXCLUSIVELY TARGET Christians in Nigeria, where would you go?
The North or the South?

Plus, the fact that you said that they can ignore the deaths of the MAJORITY who are Muslims and cling to the deaths of Christians which are fewer and then label that as evidence of a Christian Genocide PROVES my point that this definition of genocide is SUBJECTIVE and PRETEXTUAL.

It's NOT based in reality.
It's the OPINION of some people with their own agenda.

To further prove my point, you said the US will inevitably "tilt" towards Christianity.

What you really mean is that they are UNREALISTICALLY SKEWED and BIASED.
They needed to DOWNPLAY the deaths of Muslims to fit their FALSE narrative of a Christian Genocide.

That does NOT speak of someone with an altruistic intention.
There is an AGENDA.

If an attack kills 6 LETTERS and 4 NUMBERS, it requires a feat of mental gymnastics to proclaim that the attack was a targeted genocide of NUMBERS.

Apparently, many people are EAGER to demonstrate this level of mental gymnastics.

Also, the notion that they are somehow justified in their conclusions because of the religious affiliation of the terrorists is NONSENSE.

According to that, it wouldn't be a Christian Genocide if the perpetrators were also Christians.
Pure MADNESS!

Now, back to your Israeli analogy.

First thing to note here is that the US is NOT complaining or expressing concerns about the welfare of Christians in Nigeria.

They are OFFICIALLY labelling it a GENOCIDE.
And that's just WRONG.

A better analogy would be like if terrorists of Nigerian origin attacked a NIGERIAN village in Nigeria known to be prone to terrorist attacks and somehow 2 Israeli tourists were among the total victims of about 5 who died and US Politicians started saying the Israelis were the REAL targets all along.

That previous attacks on the village that resulted in multiple deaths have all been EXCLUSIVELY targeted at the 2 Israelis who were NOT even there at the time

It's RIDICULOUS!

In contrast, if terrorists of Nigerian origin travelled to Israel and BOMBED a synagogue; NOBODY would need to be convinced that the targets were Israelis.

To reiterate my points:

Christians are being killed.
Muslims are being killed.
Nigerians are being killed REGARDLESS of their religion.

That's NOT a genocide.
It's an INDISCRIMINATE killing of innocent Nigerians which is still a SERIOUS problem.

Anybody who insists otherwise has ULTERIOR MOTIVES.

Finally, this will be my last contribution on this thread in relation to this matter.
The thread is too SIGNIFICANT to be used for such discussions.

That's NOT the kind of "love" he has for his "cherished Christians".

No, siree!

The kind of love he has for them involves dropping BOMBS on them to set them free.

He relocated WHITE South Africans who were allegedly being "persecuted" in S. Africa to the US, let him do the same thing for the BLACK Nigerian Christians.

I support this one!


House agents are the REAL terrorists.

A waste of time!

Never indulge the PDFile in the White House.

SonofElElyonRet:
Your argument is lengthy and on the surface looks impressive but is peripheral in analysis. Are Muslims in the north being killed because they are Muslims? No! What's the meaning of genocide. Attempt to wipe out, obliterate, exterminate a class of people because of their tribe, religion or anything that is common to them as to be their intrinsic identity (my own definition which essentially is in tandem with internationally accepted definition). Muslims in the north are being killed because the terrorists believe they are giving the security forces info about them (terrorists), refusal to pay tax and for such reasons snd not because they are Muslims. In the case of northern christians, there's nothing they can do to appease the terrorists who consider it a divine commandment to kill christians. They are being killed and their communities taken over. THEY ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY KILLED JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE CHRISTIANS

Let me make it shorter:

1. Where is the largest concentration of Christians in Nigeria?

2. Where do terrorists attack the most?

3.When all the deaths from terrorists attacks in Nigeria are tallied, what is the ratio of christian deaths to muslim deaths?

4. Why do you think someone who is violently ABDUCTING Christian Latinos and TRAFFICKING them to strange countries care about the ALLEGED plights of Black Christians in Nigeria?

5. Why do you excuse the deaths of Muslim-Nigerians but find that of Christian-Nigerians an objectionable act of genocide?

My point is simple:

Nigeria has a serious security problem.
ALL Nigerians are being killed regardless of ethnicity and religion.

ANYBODY who says there is a genocide of certain specific group of Nigerians is a LIAR with an ulterior, and likely sinister, motives.

Finally, it's a HUGE JOKE to think that the same America financing the GENOCIDE in Gaza somehow cares about an alleged genocide in Nigeria.

The American Politicians are using the claims of genocide as a PRETEXT for something else.

hafeeanubasy:
Whoever thinks this is just about fighting for Christians has avery poor knowledge of international politics.

TINUBU has refused to be this guy puppet.
He has rejected so many condescending offers and theg are not really comfortable with it

You know what's up!

Apparently, Tinubu has NOT visited the White House to be subjected to disgrace like the other leaders who went there.

The PDFile is triggered.

I don't believe Tinubu has visited America since he became President.
Some people say it's because he has a case with the FBI, which could be true.

As for the people like this OP, they are NAIVE and their naivety is HILARIOUS.

He said attack Fulani Bandits and Not Nigeria!


By the time the attack begins, they'll tell you the terrorists are hiding in the Oil Wells in the Niger Delta.

The people who are begging for America to colonise their country would have a lot of fun explaining the difference between Fulan Bandits and ordinary black Nigerians to a white racists who have NEVER set foot in Nigeria before.

mallamOmonile1:
We seem to be too scared of this CGT.
Let me aak please:

Assume i have a COMPANY that deals in pharmaceauticals(or anyother biz) which i also use to trade in shares on the NGX. The following are my financisl year result for 2026:

Sales of pharmaceauticals ....50m
Direct cost......................40m
Other income(gain on sale of shares)......15m
Staff cost.............10m
Rent......................8m
Travel....................5m
Electricity..............8m
Depreciation........2m

Note
The gain on sale of shares was arrived as follows:

Cost of shares (Acquired Dec 2000)......140m
Proceed of disposal (Sold July 2026)......155m
Gain on disposal (July 2026)....................15m.

Please Gurus in the house:
A. Is there Income tax payable, if yes, how much?
B. Is there CGT payable, if yes, how much?

Na mallam i be, i no too sabi book, e jo diye diye.

If the Balance Sheet doesn't show a Total Fixed Asset GREATER than #250M, the company would qualify as a Small Company and therefore exempt from ALL taxes including CGT.

The tax liability would be #0 if the Balance Sheet qualifies you as a Small Company.

Utalinmou:
You were making sense until you started talking of trump and defending the killings of christians in the North
I guess you are not following the world politics well to think that Trump is performative, the man have the strongest countries in this world by the balls he has proven that his word is his bond. The only way Nigeria can get out of the intending gloom and sanctions that will follow up is to show active and massive efforts in arresting these bandits and killers and serving justice to them.

You are clearly NOT a very smart person.

Firstly, where did you see any of my post defending the killing of Christians?

My posts have been to the effect that the claim that Christians are being exclusively TARGETED in Nigeria is a FALSE narrative being pushed by people with SINISTER and/or SELFISH motives.

Most terrorist attacks in Nigeria have been in the North where majority of the population are MUSLIMS.

Tally the death tolls and I can GUARANTEE the Muslins would be at least TWICE the number of Christians.

Anybody who wants to carry out a Christian Genocide will come to the Southern Parts of Nigeria.

Secondly, your idea that a RACIST, a PDFile and a RAYPIST gives a hoot about Black People or Christians in general or in Nigeria is RIDICULOUS.

The People who are pulling his strings have an AGENDA.
They are using him to implement it.

Thirdly, you need to STOP taking your news from COMPROMISED America Media.

What powerful country in the World does he have by the balls?

Russia doesn't give a Bleep.
China doesn't give a Bleep.
India doesn't give a Bleep.
North Korea doesn't give a Bleep.
Israel doesn't give a Bleep .

Even Brazil doesn't give a Bleep. He threatened them because he wanted them to let the TRAITOR Bolsonaro go free, they sentenced the traitor to 27 years in prison.

If NOT because of America's COMPROMISED Media and the Democrats obsession about being prim and proper, Trump would have been doing his own jail term simultaneously with his pal in Brazil.

The ONLY people he bullies are his ALLIES and countries with NO decent Military and a lot of oil like Venezuela and Nigeria.

Also, realise that you are talking about someone who has taken a BIG FAT BRIBE of a $400M plane from Qatar (a known SPONSOR of terrorist groups) in exchange for a guarantee of security.

Know what that's called?
Protection racket!

Exactly the same thing that terrorists and bandits are doing in some villages in the North.

Finally, many of you who think INVASION of Nigeria will somehow result in favour for you or the people you like and support are NOTORIOUSLY NAIVE.

A lot of America's Military power and prowess reside in their AIR FORCE.
Meaning they'll BOMB you from the air.

Do you know what that means?!
Innocent CASUALTIES.
Thousands of them.

Go and take a look at what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq and the number of CIVILIAN CASUALTIES.

Finally, next time you wish to portray yourself as a judge of sense in relation to my posts; be sure you have SENSE first.

The entire FIASCO is a joke.

And it's being amplified by DUMB Nigerians with grievances against the current administration.

First, the headline is RUBBISH.
There is NO Christian Persecution in Nigeria.

The FAKE NEWS machine of America is working overtime to manufacture the genocide.
First, it was a genocide of Christians. Now it's a persecution of Christians.

Liars!

Also, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw Nicky Minaj saying how happy she is that she's nallowed to practise her "religion".



Nicky Minaj that is basically a soft-core porn actress.
Nicky Minaj that many of their Christians in the US would BURN at the stake if they had the chance.

Despite all her money, she's still a Black Woman in RACIST America.
She lives like a THIRD-CLASS citizen in her country.

In fact, she's likely more PERSECUTED than any Christian in Nigeria.

Cation:
The "AND" seem confusing. I interprete it that both condition must be present. Above 150 million AND above 10 million = Tax.

What you are explaining here is "OR". Sold above 150 million "OR" gain above 10 million = Tax

If its truly "AND" then;

Sold below 150 million "AND" gain above 10 million = No Tax ( because both conditions are not met)



I am open to more explanation

This is how it's worded in the NTA 2025:

"Provided that gains accruing to a person on disposal of shares in any Nigerian company shall not be chargeable gains where the

(i) disposal proceeds, in aggregate, is less than 150,000,000 and the chargeable gain does not exceed 10,000,000 in any 12 consecutive months,"

It means the ONLY way to escape tax is that the Sales Proceeds must be less than #150M AND the Net Gain must be #10M or less.

BOTH of these conditions must be present if you want to AVOID the CGT.

If you meet ONLY one of the 2, then you'll be TAXED.

Another way to illustrate this is:

Above #150M sales proceeds but below #10M gain = TAX.

Below #150M SP but above #10M gain = TAX.

Above #150M SP and above #10M gain = TAX.

Below #150M SP AND below #10M gain = NO TAX.

Hope it's clearer now.

First comment is really wise.

Apart from bullying small countries, the PDFile has not demonstrated any of his vaunted "deal making skills".

The US-China agreement is the most HILARIOUS one I've seen.

Apparently, the new deal involves China buying American Soybeans which they'd been doing before.
And selling America rare earth minerals which, again, they'd been doing before.

In exchange, the PDFile will reduce the tariff to 10% which was the tariff amount before the the PDFile came to power.
And then he has to remove China from a restricted list he put them before.

This supernatural deal maker took a roundabout road to the STATUS QUO.


The New Deal is the OLD Deal.

Except, it'll only last for 1 year.
Then the PDFile will do a song and dance in again in one year time and make ANOTHER New Deal.
And his supporters will PRAISE him as the Greatest Dealmaker ever lived.

That being said, I don't believe this headline that Americans are facing hunger.

Makanjuola89:
Many of you don't understand this CGT thing. For individuals like you, your CGT will only be 10% on your gain over a period of 12 month. In addition, you will only pay CGT if you make more than 10 million Naira profit in that 12 month period. Let's say you make 10 million profit, you won't pay any CGT. If you make a profit of say 11 million, your CGT will now be 10% of 1 million (i.e. 11 million minus 10 million).

This is HORRIBLY wrong!

First of all, there is NO 10% CGT rate. Capital Gains will now be taxed using the Personal Income Tax rates for individuals and CIT rates for companies.

Secondly, the tax is applicable on ALL of chargeable gains.

If you sold for a Net Gain of #11M and withdraw it, the WHOLE #11M (not just the additional#1M) will be taxed at the PIT rates NOT 10%.

The exemption threshold in the NTA 2025 is NOT an allowance or a deduction.

It's just to answer ONE question:

Has this individual made enough transactions to TRIGGER a taxable event?

If the answer is YES, everything will be TAXED!

In fact, if you made a transaction that resulted in a Net Gain of #11M and you only withdraw about #2M to your bank account, the part you withdrew will be TAXED.

Oyedele and Tinubu are NOT playing.

This is MORE diplomatic than what I have in mind.

I wanted Nigeria to build a statue of a GIANT MIDDLE FINGER and send it to the US like the Statue of Liberty.

Imagine Ted Cruz wanting to pass a law in America to be enacted in Nigeria preventing laws that tackle Blasphemy in Northern Nigeria.

Ordinarily, that's SENSIBLE.

But coming from a country where CRITICISING their President is punishable by DEPORTATION and REVOCATION of visas is MADNESS!

You CANNOT be a Moral Police with a PDFile running your affair.
