"I’m not even extremely driven myself, but I know I want to achieve greatness."

I stopped reading this DRIVEL at this point.

The author is trying to VILIFY her husband for the same thing she's GUILTY of!

She's complaining that an EMPLOYED man goes to bed at 9 PM at night.

9PM!

MADNESS!

So they should be captured, rehabilitated and absorbed into the Military?

Is that what he's saying?

The African Union SCREWED up by letting the Military Coups of Mali, Burkina Faso, etc stand.

They should have MOBILISED their Joint Military and INVADED one of those in a "Peace Keeping" mission from the get-go.

The fact that they FAILED to curb this MADNESS is contributing to resurgence of Military Dictatorship across Africa.

If one Military gets away with it with ZERO repercussion, others will take their cue from them.
And gradually, Military Dictatorships will spread across Africa just like it's doing right now.

By the time it gets to your footsteps, NO ONE will be available to mobilise for a Military intervention because every country would be a Military Dictatorship at that point.

As for people who think Military Dictatorships are BETTER than the HORRIBLE civilian governments we currently have in Africa, THINK AGAIN!

The Military Dictators would do the SAME THING the Civilians are doing right now but with MORE bloodshed.

They will be CORRUPT and expect to be venerated for their corruption.

You will NOT be able to criticise them WITHOUT losing your life.

Weak African Leaders will have themselves to blame when the consequences of their LACKADAISICAL reactions to the menace of Military Coups catch up with them.

Imagine the one from Burkina Faso bumping fists with Leaders in a formal setting and thinking it's a sign of "strength".

MADNESS!

This is the SECOND mass shooting within a span of 24 hours.

The other one was in MISSISSIPPI.

They are their OWN terrorists!

Force a DNA test on the child!

The mother will OBJECT.
You must also OBJECT to her objection.

Get a Court Order if you must.
But get the DNA test done!

And FINALISE the divorce!

Separation is just DIVORCE that one party is unwilling to accept.

90% of Nigerian men are married to EXTRA DEEP and EXTRA WIDE BOREHOLES!

The Husbands are VICTIMS!
They ERRONEOUSLY personalised things that have been mercilessly BOMBARDED by several men wielding BUNKER-BUSTING instruments galvanized by unholy CONCOCTIONS.

There is NO taking such "wives" to the Promised Land.

It's a WASTE of time and effort!

This BASELESS attempt to make their husbands feel inferior for not NEEDLESSLY toiling at a WRECKAGE is pure MADNESS!

There is something called Double Jeopardy in law.

It means you CANNOT be prosecuted twice for the same crime.

If her previous sentence was for the MURDER of her husband.
Double Jeopardy says they CANNOT sentence her a second time for the MURDER of her husband.


I don't believe she'll go scot free.
But a GREAT Lawyer can help her reduce her sentence significantly.

There is a reason Lagos is light years ahead of other states in IGR.

They will TAX anything and everything!

The idea that this measure would magically decongest Lagos is LUDICROUS!

NOTHING can decongest Lagos.
People are too MUCH in Lagos.

This is just ANOTHER avenue to make money for Lagos Government and Lagos TOUTS!

This is the LEGACY of emilokan!

EXTREME poverty in the land.
In fact, a report was recently released that says about 139 MILLION Nigerians are living in poverty.

Nigeria as an estimated population of 200 million people.
Nearly 70% of them are POOR.

And you can bet your balls that that number is HIGHER for the female population.

If you see 10 random women, you can CONFIDENTLY assume that at least 7 of them are living in POVERTY.

Plus, this extreme POVERTY coincides with an era of extreme MATERIALISM.

Which means there are a LOT of poor people willing to do ANYTHING for money so they can show off on social media.

By the way, one good thing about this Tinubu's regime is that the price of hook-up girls is coming down.

The PDFile and his minions are some of the LEAST intelligent people to have ever graced the corridors of power anywhere on earth and in history.

These are lazy RACISTS that bought slaves from GREEDY African Leaders just to help them pick COTTONS.

The same people are KIDNAPPING other people that were helping them to HARVEST their crops CHEAPLY.

When someone ACTS without thinking of the CONSEQUENCES, it's a mark of STEWPEEDITY.

And MANY of the large scale farmers in the US voted for, campaigned for and donated to the PDFile.

By the time they start to pay ACTUAL minimum wage to AmeriKKKlan-first workers, the price of one apple would sponsor a LAVISH wedding in Abuja.

They will hear it today!

Nigerians voted for a DISASTER in 2023 and we are all bearing the BRUNT of it.

Americans voted for their own DISASTER in 2024, let them BUCKLE UP for their calamity.

"Tensions reportedly began when the woman asserted authority over her husband, threatening to remove him from the visa because he was only listed as a dependent."



The moment a woman possesses even a SEMBLANCE of power over her husband is the moment the marriage becomes a SHIPWRECK.

They CANNOT help it.

This one was NOT even patient enough to settle down before "showing her husband pepper".

Thank God that the man knows how to FIGHT DIRTY. And even more importantly, that he was WILLING to do so.

LESSER men would have allowed the WIIIITTTTCH to BANISH them to the hellish streets of Nigeria while the woman enjoys her life in the UK forming STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN with money that was BORROWED by the man.

Now that she has SCATTERED everything that took time, effort and stress to plan, her eyes will CLEAR!

I TRUST the man will NEVER take her back.
She's going to shoulder her own BURDEN by herself.

By the time she marinates in the Great Tinubulation for 6 months, she'll REGRET her life.

In fact, she's going to REGRET her senseless actions for the rest of her life.

KUDOS to the man in this story!

The father sounds like a GENTLEMAN.

Otherwise, the UNGRATEFUL brats would not have had access to him. He would NOT pick their calls to listen to them beeaatch and moan about selling his OWN properties.

Obviously, I DON'T expect them to invite their father to come for Omugwo. But there's NOTHING stopping them from inviting him to come ALONG with their mother.

Since a man with properties worth #500M can clearly SPONSOR his own plane tickets.

Lots of children OVERLOOK their father.
Especially if their father is rich.

And it seems this man's children did it in EXCESS.
The gap between the gifts they give their mother compared to the ones they give their father is TOO WIDE.

You buy a car for your mother and get your father an ORDINARY wristwatch.

That's WICKED!

Let the Baba sell his properties and buy himself a CAR since nobody is gonna do it for him.

Men are NEVER appreciated as much as they deserve.

Despite the fact that this man CLEARLY contributed massively to the success of his kids, they are now trying to VILIFY him because they think they are ENTITLED to his properties.

They've SUDDENLY forgotten everything he DID for them because they think he's NOT going to give them what they deserve in the FUTURE.

Our society has tied the value of a man to his consistent UTILITY in PERPETUITY.

A man is NEVER free from OBLIGATIONS!

This man has 3 SUCCESSFUL kids living abroad and they still think he has an OBLIGATION to bequeath them with properties.

MEN must learn to take care of themselves 'cause NOBODY else will.

I DON'T care about the other points. But that Number 1 point is UNBEARABLE.

The CENSORSHIP is unreasonable.

They keep deleting my posts!

Especially, any criticisms of the PDFile in the White House and the GENOCIDAL nation of Is.ra.eel.

You CAN'T criticise any of them. It's almost like the owner of Nairaland has collected money from said people.

You can't use SIMPLE words. You have to BUTCHER them. Even then, there is NO guarantee that your posts won't be DELETED.

Also, every deleted post comes with a BAN.

Every time I post, I get BANNED.
Post, BAN!

That terrible cycle has made Nairaland UNUSABLE for some time now.

I would have joined the OP in his EXODUS but Nairaland is already the ONLY social media platform I use.

I CANNOT stand the infinite scrolling on other platforms.

Even so, it's only a matter of time before I ABANDON Nairaland.

slivertongue:
All the Democrats seem to be falling one after the other

They are NOT falling.

They are being systematically ATTACKED by the PDFile in the White House.

Everybody KNOWS it.

Use the RIGHT words.

One of the BIGGEST problems with Social Media is that it gives people with PUFF-PUFF for brains a platform to express their INANITY.

This NONSENSE will have an EXTREMELY negative impact on women.

First of all if you accuse the WRONG man, he will exert a TERRIBLE revenge up to and including actual r#pe and MURDER.

Plus, the plethora of FALSE allegations will cause the credible claims of REAL victims to get swallowed up in a sea of lies. They will go WITHOUT justice.

If 1000 people FALSELY cried wolf, NOBODY would take the 1001th person serious even if they saw the wolf DEVOURING her like a very tender chicken.

He looks like a CULTIST Yahoo Boy.

Does he REALLY want the matter thoroughly investigated?

Seun, why is this IMPORTANT bit of news not on the front-page?

I DON'T want to hear anything about Nigeria from the United HATES!

They are okay with the GENOCIDE and TERRORISM committed by Netanyahu.

But want to intervene in the ALLEGED genocides of Christians and Igbos in Nigeria.

Fucccxcccc.ccccxccck them!

mikeapollo:
People must be mad to give N47m to a govt. out of N200m gain.
This govt thinks we have saw dust in our brains?
Imagine the reckless audacity to even propose and pass such law! And that Taiwo Oyedele is still going round promoting this law?

It's absolute MADNESS!

Making that kind of Capital Gains would require taking RISKS that could potentially RUIN a person. Or having the patience of a small god.

Now, if an employee who has WORKED all his life to master his craft and advance in his careers and works maybe 50/60 hours per week and is AWAY from his family most of the time makes #200M, he'll pay something in that neighborhood too as PIT after deducting NHIS, NHS and allowable rent.

The same thing applies to Sole Proprietors who NEARLY stressed themselves to death to make that kind of money in profit.

As for Oyedele, he's a Pastor.
They are SMOOTH-TALKERS who know how to tell people what they want to hear.

He keeps talking about the #800k exemption and the exemption of small and nano businesses BUT immediately above those are people and entities who will be TAXED to death.

KarlTom:
You're confusing turnover and profit wrt Corporate entities.

₦200m turnover will definitely not translate to ₦60m tax...

It seems like you MISUNDERSTOOD that post.

I NEVER mentioned Turnover.
I was talking about the GAIN. Or more specifically, the Capital Gains.

Capital Gains Tax is taxed on the GAINS aspect. Not the Turnover.
My post took that into account.

And it's still FACTUALLY correct.

If an INDIVIDUAL makes Capital Gains of #200M, his tax liability (CGT) would be #47.93M.

If a (large) COMPANY makes Capital Gains of the SAME #200M, its tax liability (CGT) would be #60M. That is 30% (CIT rate) of #200M.

Under the Old Tax Laws, BOTH of them would have paid #20M, I.e a flat rate of 10%. Under the NTA 2025, they'd be charged to tax based on PIT and CIT rates.

This is a WITCH-HUNT!

Instead of addressing the points raised by Sowore about how Wike and his wife got the money to buy MULTIMILLION DOLLAR HOMES and sign them over to their kids for just $100, they are out here WHATABOUTISM-ing like nobody's business.

That is why Uche Nnaji is the ULTIMATE fuccccccccxk-up guy!

Tinubu's government is filled with people who have MORE skeletons in their cupboards than a GRAVEYARD.

Hell, there are serious questions about the IDENTITY of Tinubu himself.

And the Chairman of Tinubu's party is a DOLLAR-THIEVING menace.

Tinubu's son has a company getting TRILLIONS of Naira in government contracts.

Yet NONE of them are bothered.

Ordinary certificate SCANDAL, Nnaji resigned.

In fact, he should be INVESTIGATED.
He might NOT be a Nigerian.

Who knows?
If he lied about Certificates, he might be lying about his Nationality.


No TRUE Nigerian politician would ever resign because of ORDINARY Certificate scandal.

He could have easily FORCED the senate to re-confirm him using his Secondary School Certificates.

mikeapollo:
I was even thinking that the first threshold of N150m would be exempted, than the excess would be taxed

NO!

The #150M and #10M are NOT thresholds for Tax Exemptions. They are thresholds that determine whether a Tax Event has occurred.

That is whether you have done enough transactions that TRIGGER an obligation to pay tax.

It means that if the AGGREGATE/TOTAL Turnover in your portfolio is above #150M, you MAY be liable to pay tax.

If the NET Gain in your Portfolio (Total Gain in ALL transactions in your portfolio MINUS Total Losses in ALL transactions in your portfolio) is MORE than #10M, you will DEFINITELY pay CGT.

mikeapollo:
For example, what about unemployed/unengaged persons who make profits of say N200m-N1billion in the NGX? What CGT rate would be applied to them?

One of the major goals of the NTA 2025 is to harmonise several taxes.

For the purposes of taxation, the NTA 2025 treats CGT EXACTLY like Income Tax.

So if an unemployed individual makes profits of #200M in Capital Gains on the NSE, he'll be taxed like someone who works a high-paying job and earns a salary of #200M.

First 800k would be taxed at 0%
Next #2.2M taxed at 15%
Next #9M taxed at 18%
Next #13M taxed at 21%
Next #25M taxed at 23%

Remaining #150M would be taxed at 25%

Instead of getting #20M, the government would get #47.93M from YOUR money.

That's MORE than a 100% increase in Tax Liability!

Yet Oyedele is out there CAMPAIGNING for the New Reforms and touting its "simplicity" as if people are happy to take simplicity in exchange for being FLEECED to death.

It's even WORSE for Corporate entities.

Instead of paying #20M based on the Old Laws, they'd pay #60M according to the NTA 2025. Or #50M if Tinubu eventually reduces CIT to 25%.

People will eventually RUN away from NGX.

EVERY woman wants that guy on the left.
But with the BRAINS of Albert Einstein.
The BANK ACCOUNT of Elon Musk.
And the POWER of Vladimir Putin.

Even so, they'd still cheat on him with the guy in the middle just out of curiosity.

Finally, 99.99% of women only see TWO guys in the picture.

Soul mate is WASTED on people with NO souls.

It's plain MADNESS!

These are people who have NEVER set foot in Nigeria.

Many of them CAN'T even point out Nigeria on a map.
Many of them think Nigeria is a STATE in a COUNTRY called Africa.

But their extremely COMPROMISED media is telling them Christians are being TARGETED in Nigeria with ZERO proof and they GOBBLED it up like they always do.

Meanwhile, they have a NAZIFIED Police Force who are KIDNAPPING and TRAFFICKING people because of their SKIN COLOUR.

If these HYPOCRITES care about Christians, they should fight for the LATINOS being kidnapped everyday on their streets.
After all, MANY of these Latinos are devout Catholic Christians.

They are very EAGER to fight for the oppressed in FARAWAY lands while keeping mum about and actively participating in the OPPRESSION of people right INSIDE their own country.

MAD HYPOCRITES!

In fact, NOBODY should take the Western countries serious. Especially the Americans.

They are a 100X guilty of anything they ACCUSE anybody of.

That's why I find it absolutely HILARIOUS that there are people who LOATHE Tinubu and IDOLISE Frump.

Meanwhile, any objective and sensible person can see that Tinubu is a BETTER person and leader than Frump will ever be.

They ACCUSE Tinubu of certificate forgery which is most likely true but same people turn around to worship a man who THREATENED to sue his school IF they release his results.

Funny people!

If you OPPOSE evil, oppose EVERY shade of it.

Great one from DANGOTE!

However, he NEEDS Filling Stations for both GAS and Petrol that'll sell DIRECTLY to final consumers.

Otherwise, this INCREDIBLE savings he keeps giving every month will NEVER make it to end users.

The MIDDLEMEN from Hell will keep pocketing the difference.
And Nigerians will keep looking in FUTILITY for the impacts of the much touted Dangote Refinery.

I don't know who this boy is but he sounds like a SToooPeeD BOY.

When you have a WEALTHY and INFLUENTIAL father, you have already BENEFITED from him.

He doesn't even have to do anything or give you anything else. His mere existence is a BOON for you.

You are able to take GREAT risks because you know your father will ALWAYS be there to CUSHION your fall.

Others don't have that luxury. They have to take FEWER risks because a single failure could RUIN them for life.

But that's NOT your reality because of your father.

Plus, the IMMENSE amount of GOODWILL attached to your family name because of your father is INVALUABLE.

Children of RICH people should NEVER downplay the contributions of their parents.

Being the son or daughter of a BILLIONAIRE and trying to spin a story of how you are SELF-MADE is MADNESS!

That is why I respect Davido.

Dude came out of the gate and DECLARED himself "Omo Baba Olowo" aka the Son of a Rich Father.

He EMBRACED his father's VAST resources.
But that does NOT detract from his own personal achievements.

Yet that simple acknowledgement HONOURS his father.

Sons of GREAT men should NEVER attempt to belittle their fathers.
It's MADNESS!

Someone is using somebody's tithes and offerings to do DORIME and SUGAR DADDY.

Adeboye is a PULPIT DICTATOR.

Many of them want followers who'll BOW to their every whim without question.

That's how one of Adeboye's colleagues told a 22-year old Sickle Cell sufferer that the ONLY way to heal her was for him to have MARATHON SEX with her for 7 uninterrupted days.

MADNESS!

They GROOM their followers to become EMPTY SHELLS with no opinions of their own.
