Oh dear.

"Ngelale said the plan has culminated in the approval of over N75 billion to be disbursed to 75 large-scale manufacturers across all states of the federation."

It's either Tinubu and his advisors are DUMBER than I thought OR this is a payout to his fellow criminals.

Either way, it's RIDICULOUS!

Large-scale companies DO NOT need palliatives. That's like digging a borehole for the purpose of pumping water into the ocean.

It's the height of DUMBNESS!

A simple TAX HOLIDAY is a sufficient incentive. We should not be pumping scarce resources into giant companies.

Another scam.

The Trump Media and Technology Group has only 3 products: Truth Social, TMTG+ and TMTG News.

Truth Social had just 2M users. Has a net loss of $31.5M and NOBODY has heard of the other two products.

Plus, a quick look at the TMTG website shows it's not been updated in 2024. Yet somehow, it's being evaluated as worth billions. Or it's the other company that's responsible for the value. In which case someone is just taking a long route to dashing Trump money.

Seized #250M worth of goods and NOT a single picture of either the goods or the criminals.

Nigerian agencies are SHADIER than VeryDarkMan's shadow.

Someone will drink those products on Saturday.

"You will deal with blatant racism, prejudice, bigotry, taxes, crazy exorbitant lawyer fees, non friendly neighbors, non friendly co-workers,police harassment, abuse/favoritism at work, suspicious looks, children exposed to all these and more, 54 Genders"

The only thing that annoys me more than seeing stupid people spew DUMBNESS on the Internet is not being able to NACK them 2 by 2.

Racism: Go and attempt to get a job in Enugu as a Yoruba man or in Ekiti as an Igbo man. You will understand life. Racists have the excuse of differences in skin colour. A tribalist's only excuse is STUPIDITY!

Crazy exhorbitant lawyer fees: Because they have a legal system that works. If a lawyer works hard and uncovers facts that can help you sue the BIGGEST company in the country and win, they deserve those fees.

For context, someone sued Donald Trump, a billionaire and former PRESIDENT of the US, and WON. She won to the tune of $83M.

Meanwhile in Nigeria, we have not heard ANYTHING about the rapist COZA pastor.

Police harassment: Laughs in Lekki Toll gate. Nigerian Police are like criminals. But WORSE because they are government-sanctioned.

Abuse/Favouritism at work: The governor of CBN has a degree in Public Administration. He's SOOO qualified!

Confine your NONSENSE talks to a beer parlour.

A waste of time and money.

Companies like Apple, Amazon, Google and Meta are immune to pesky things like lawsuits. Even from an entity as powerful as the US government.

First of all, they have an army of HIGHLY COMPETENT attorneys who live for legal warfare. They are paid FAT cheques to take the law and flog lawmakers with it.

Apart from their legal teams, Apple has a HORDE of customers whose devotion to them can be likened to that of religious extremist.

People sleep OUTSIDE in American weather just for a chance to get Apple's latest gadgets.

Plus, the people who have shares in Apple are movers and shakers of the US economy. They are not to be bleeped with.

For instance, companies like Berkshire Hathaway owns APPLE shares worth about $161B. For context, all the dollars in the Nigerian Foreign Reserves is just $34B. Despite the INSANE padding, Nigeria National Budget is about $19.6B.

BH has $161B in Apple.
BH has an ENORMOUS power in the US stock market.
And it's not even the only one.

This entire lawsuit is a joke.

The day I realized that some companies are bigger than the US company is the day I watched Mark Zuckerberg's testimony before the US Congress.

Mark REFUSED to answer any question straight.

If they ask "What is A?", Mark will reply with "I think Jerry from Tom and Jerry is gay".

All attempts to force him to give a straight answer were met with a variation of "go fuuuck yourself".

Now consider the fact that Apple is 200% BIGGER than Meta and you'll begin to understand why this lawsuits is just bored politicians looking for some short-lived excitement.

Use the BBA method:

1. BUDGET:

A shiiit-ton of people in Nigeria don't have budgets. Money comes and they spend and spend and spend. That is bad.

Draw up a budget and stick to it. Have a defined budget for food, NEPA bill, transport fare or petrol, etc.

Someone may argue that the money is NOT enough to consider budgeting. To that, I say RUBBISH!

If the money is not enough in the first place, then you have NOTHING to lose by budgeting. When you operate with a budget, you avoid OVERSPENDING on a particular area while neglecting other important areas.

A budget can help you spread your funds more evenly so that every Naira is pulling its own weight.

2. BULK PURCHASES:

Buy everything in bulk!

By everything, I mean EVERYTHING!

You want to buy food, buy it in bulk.
You want to buy pure water, buy it in bulk directly from the FACTORY TRUCKS.
Your seasoning like Maggi should be purchased in bulk.

If you have kids in secondary school, but a carton of pen and keep in your house. Same for snacks like biscuits.

By buying things in bulk, 2 things happen:

1. You will have enough volume to patronize wholesalers. That means you don't have to deal with the INSANE mark-ups that retailers add to the deal.

2. You postpone the need to deal with constant price hikes. Prices of goods, especially foodstuff, change frequently. But when you buy in bulk, you don't have to deal with that immediately.

Buy in bulk, save a bunch.

AVOID NIGERIAN GIRLS:

Nigerian girls are financial black holes. They are out to suck you dry.

If you have any kind of relationship with a Nigerian girl, you will be responsible for gifts, wigs, creams and ice creams. Not to mention food, clothes and "chill".

If you don't want your money to vanish like a person who owes you money, AVOID NIGERIAN GIRLS!

It's NOT greed. It's commonsense.

If your father was a USD billionaire, your life would be softer than it currently is.

However, it's best NOT to dwell on something you cannot change.

Left now is for you to work as hard and as smart as you can to make sure your kids DON'T feel what you're currently feeling.

Americans are not big on soccer but they go crazy for their own "football".

Any serious footballer who makes it to their league will dominate.

A player of Oshoala's calibre is basically a god in that league.

Nothing new here.

Most other races feel the same way about black people. That's why it was so easy for white people to stick Africans in a zoo like animals.

Maternal instincts! Maternal instincts!!

Yet we've read about SEVERAL cases of abandoned newborns just this month alone.

SHOCKED!

This is Nigeria. The Judge is judging for fun. NYSC will NEVER obey it.

The document already shows NONE of the respondents (NYSC and NYSC-affiliated individuals) were present.

That is Consensual Non-consent (CNC) aka Rape Fantasy.

It is a sexual kink where one person wants and consents to be sexually assaulted.

As for whether it's normal, I CANNOT say.

But consider this:

If you stay with this girl long enough, you'll get used to sexually assaulting your partner. Forceful and non-consensual sex will seem normal to you.

That is a slippery slope to being a full-time rapist.

In other words, your current girl could end up damaging you.

If you want a job done right, you need to do it yourself.

Let's see how it goes.

I support this move 100%.

In fact, it should be extended INDEFINITELY.

Plus, ALL persons occupying elected positions in government should SURRENDER their travel documents throughout the duration of their tenure.

Fix Nigeria or DIE here!

Nigeria's new slogan:
Nigeria, we remove the speck in your eye. Forget the log in ours.

Say one thing for Buhari, say he knows how to treat a First Lady.

Go into farming and lose your head to herdsmen.

my friend, will you find your way to the kitchen!

Nigeria is one funny shiiiithole. Read the ENTIRE article and no mention of a SINGLE arrest. Just freezing of assets and accounts.

That is in Nigeria, you get the same punishment in Nigeria for SPONSORING terrorists as trading P2P on Binance during a crypto ban.

These people are TERRORIST-LITE. They have been directly or indirectly responsible for the death, rape and mutilation of THOUSANDS of Nigerians. That includes soldiers.

YET no report of their communities being invaded and their YOUNG being slaughtered by criminals in uniforms.

As a Nigerian still living in Nigeria, I consider it my civil responsibility to REFRAIN from learning the names of the gang of crooks leading Nigeria to damnation.

They occupy positions and do NOTHING for Nigerians.

In fact, the only time they do anything of note is when they are in the news for the special way in which they have screwed Nigerians.

Both of their families combined may NOT have up to #50K in their accounts. YET these two idiiiots set out to scam them for #4M.

Just imagine the emotional torture and the hypertension their struggling parents went through at the news that their kids had been kidnapped.

The criminals should be JAILED and NOT allowed to taste freedom until they have more grey hairs than Wole Soyinka.

As a young child, I was told that this animal will turn into a snake when it grows up.

As an adult, I just think it's disgusting.

INSANE performance!

One of the reasons I prefer individual sports like Track and Field events and boxing to sports like Football and Basketball is that NO ONE can Bleep it up for you if you are the superior athlete.

But in team sports like football, 10 players could play their hearts out but it takes ONLY 1 Aiyegbeni with his k-legs to fuccck it up for everyone else.

Only in Nigeria would a Professor be more concerned about what goes on between his students' legs than what goes in between their ears.

How can they be regarded as parents AFTER discarding their kid like a used condom?

She's not wrong. Without makeup, her face looks like something that needs to be panel-beaten.

Good to see makeup getting the praise it deserves.

helinues:
That still didn't answer my question. Is it in Nigeria constitution?

Yes, it's in the constitution.

Nigerian Laws, including tax laws, are heritage of colonialism. No originality in it.

Churches in UK and US are tax exempt. Nigeria copied and pasted the same thing.

Also, the idea that any politician would ever raise an issue about it is LAUGHABLE. Churches and mosques attract a HORDE of sheeples.

The sheeples would do ANYTHING their Pastor or Imam tells them to. That includes voting for a politician that is just looking to fleece them some more.

If anybody tries to tax churches or mosques, it WON'T take a minute before the sheeples are convinced that said person is the antichrist.

All the pastor has to say is that "the body of Christ is under attack from the Kingdom of Darkness" and everywhere will scatter.

Anyway, church business is a great business. Instead of worrying about their exemption status, I'd advice you to look into starting one as a new stream of income.

Nigerian Army are gallant when it comes to killing UNARMED civilians but run faster than a cheetah when faced with ordinary bandits with dane guns.

No shit!

People aged 60 and above are either retired or on the brink of retirement. A decent number of them have a house, pension (retirement savings) and their grandchildren to play with.

Young people, on the other hand, still have to undergo slavish labour for YEARS to come. A lot of them deal with shittty managers in the office and come home to deal with a shittty roommate or neighbour.

No way there won't be a HUGE difference in levels of happiness.

The entire statement is Exhibit A of how dumb Tinubu's "footsoldiers" are.

Idioms and metaphors are all over the place like k-legs.

Plus, they are NOT concerned that Tinubu and his band of INCOMPETENT sycophants are driving Nigeria into unprecedented depths of poverty, insecurity and economic destabilisation.

No, siree! They are more concerned about lining their pockets with the commonwealth.

They all deserve to be used and dump like tissue paper.
