You are just confusing yourself.

So you do not know that alot of Nigerians have American accent due to them been born abroad and live most of their lives abroad and they only return to Nigeria during Christmas or if they feel like visiting Nigeria for business purpose or other purposes.

Listen to the video from the beginning and you will hear when the Nigerian guy says the hotel he lodge is three star hotel ( he was categorizing the hotel)

For there are many 4 star hotels and 5 star hotels in Asaba that is more beautiful and quality than the one the man was lodging in. So you are not aware that there are hotels room in Asaba you pay 300,000 to 1million naira for a day lodging.

You are a novice in hotels matters, so do advertise your ignorance by talking about hotels when you know nothing about hotels.

Oga, you just displayed your ignorance. There is no 4 star not to talk of 5 star hotel in Asaba. Probably the best hotel or atleast the most sort after of which I had to make reservation 3 weeks before to get booking for 2 rooms is best western elomaz on dbs road. They claim to be 4star, but I'd rather say 3 star. Or is it springhill I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights 2ice in the last 1 month for me and my lawyer? Which other hotel, is it nelrose?
You may know about hotels by looking at the pictures or trekking pass them, but some people actually have stayed in the best hotels in asaba, Lagos and other cities and towns around the world.
That room in the first minute of that video is not asaba neither is it Nigeria. Probably a cheap motel somewhere in a small town in the US. If you are sure it is in asaba name the hotel, I will likely be in asaba next week.

DEY PLAY.
It is hotel in asaba.

You hear the American accent, look at the finishing, the white floor lining, the door, are they normal in naija?
If you are so sure name the hotel.

If man does not want the pregnancy, why force it on him for goodness sake? A grown woman like this lady will nack raw, collect Ice-Cream and will expect it to just go away without being on contraceptive pills or day after pills? What did she think will happen?
Abeg she should face he wahala herself. Kangaroo wants t use belle to trap man.

That first clip of the hidden hole is not Asaba neither is it Nigeria.
Bloogers and misleading posts all for traffic.
Metcheew.

Hahahahahaha, recordings that have been confirmed to be true,na them falana dey deceive this SHIM so,he might go back to jail.

How them take confirm say na true?

Abeg, this misfits should spare us the tales. What does he want us the public to to? If he and his cohorts cannot solve the issue, then they should resign! Which one is it they are telling us? What kind of country is this for goodness sake?
Can I or ordinary Nigerians go and burst pipelines, steal and sell crude? Peter Obi exposed them briefly when he said people in the top of government were the ones stealing crude.
Can you row a canoe into the waters of Nigeria without the navy intercepting you? How come the a whole super tanker will come and load stolen crude without government knowing with all their naval vessels, satellite etc.
De play..

Which one be physical copy of a driver's licence again na. Fine for driving without vehicle documents and driver's licence is not up to 20k sef. People drive without driver's licence here in Abuja, if police FRSC or VIO stop you, you press 2k for their and move on. 1 million for an offence that is not an offence is crazy. The boys should tell us the truth. As a corps member back in the days, no police or soldier fit harass me in Akwa ibom state ooo

Good you said back in the day.
Besides we're you driving a flashy sleek black benz back then?

He bribed efcc and prison officials to be booked in a self con where there were basic amenities and not for inmates.

Oga look at it from another perspective. One never knows who's turn it may be tomorrow to face incarceration. Innocent people may for whatever reason enter jail. The option of being able to sort one's self through financial capability may be the hope for survival. Abeg let that option be there codedly.
Are you aware a former bank ceo built a hefty facility in LUTH where she served her sentence under medical grounds? That facility is now the executive section of the teaching hospital owned by the college. You as you are (god forbid), if for what ever reason eg protest, activism one lands in jail, wount you pay for executive service section of detention instead of the general area where you have disease, homo, killers etc.

Nazgul:
Then it's obviously a skit.

Actually, the man has not said the truth.
Few years ago, there was this reigning local scam by guymen that were no longer making money from international 419. Most had big houses but no money. They will release documents of their houses to relatives or cohorts to sell or take huge loans. Some may be slightly altered documents or some were so brazing to give out "oluwole originals" . When they are sold or heavy loans are taken, they share the money. Meanwhile the fellow comes out to claim he never knew of the sale or loan adding different stories of how eg his documents were stolen or faked. The buyer or creditor looses their money. Afterall if you buy stolen property, it is your loss and not tat of the owner.

Nazgul:
It's real because she's bearing the name of her husband. So she can easily say that her husband provided her with the documents as collateral for the loan.

And if the amount of money she's expecting to access is much less than the cost of the property, believe me, once the banks confirms the originality of the documents, they'll grant her the loan.

Oga, which bank will operate like as you say, ie give a loan to a wife using the husbands property as collateral because their name is similar. Omo, even sabinus microfinance merchant bank won't do that. Even if a man dies, do you think the wife can sell his property or take loan from the bank without a letter of administration? In that case why can't she just walk into the bank and demand access to his account as their names are similar and she is his wife?
Seems you are very ignorant of basic laws.

Oga, oga, this story is not complete.
Where you are ready, you will tell the true and full story.

Big guy

You said it all, "Big guy".
People that have reached the peak of their career abroad always want to come back. My paddies that have made it abroad, almost every other day they are in naija. Abuja especially as they say it is calm, no traffic etc. They all want to own property, have businesses here and bring their kids, both young and old.
This Dr is a big man at the peak of his career, he will likely make more money in naija than he does in the US with less tax etc

He calls out people to swallow the humblepie and apologise, make amends when wrong, yet he cannot so the same.
He should clearly apologise not this tantrum.

nairalanda1:


(I know people will call agbado, but here goes).

Here are the cold fact behind the decision to tax more Nigerians...note the headline...more NIgerians

1. Tax revenues amount for 20% of government revenue, the rest is from oil. While this is better than say 1996, when it was 96% of revenue comming from oil, it is still too low.

2. Oil revenues are very low for a nation our size. We produce as much as Libya does, yet LIbya, even in the midst of war, can afford goodies because they are 9 million, while we are 200-250 million, if not more

What we are doing is like a man with an income of 500000 naira and 15 children trying to do the same thing as a man with the same income but just 2 children. Na debt go catch you in minutes.

3. As at 2019, government was getting tax from about 30% of the taxable population. 70% of the population does not pay taxes to the state and federal government at all. Also, if your income is below a certain threshold, you are exempt from taxes

4. Tax to gdp ratio is 10%. That is low for a nation our size. Add the fact that gdp is even very very low.

5. We need oil price to be above 130 per barrel before we can earn enough money for a balanced budget. Or to be fair, at least around 100 dollars per barrel. Since 2014, April, oil has been below 100 dollars per barrel, except for a brief period in 2021-22. Thus we no longer earn enough from oil, nor have we ever, except for the 1973-82, and 2008-14, earned enough from oil.
.
6. Our economy is so poorly diversified (and APC is to blame here), that we no longer earn the money we used to earn from agric and mining...plus it is going to take us years to get back to where we were before, and we ar eup against countries like the US, Brazil and Indonesia whose agric relies on large scale modern farming, which is why they can export tonnes of food.

Even thailand, we cannot compete with them re rice production, because we don't have the climate for it.

7. We over import, and lose a lot of forex, nuff said.

8. We also have a hefty debt. Debt eats 68% of our revenue, and as at May 2023, it was over 90%...that is why TInubu went mad and said subsidy is gone, because we were in deep soup then. Even then, he has brought subsidy back, so that debt service may even grow.

9. Most states in NIgeria have poor tax to gdp ratio....as low as 2% . As a result, all of them rely on Abuja allocations for survival. Only a few states can survive on their IGR, and even then, the IGR Is still smaller than it should be.

10. IMF, won't give us any loans, and yes, we are going to rely on IMF Loans for the foreseaable future....until we end up reforming our tax system, and collecting more tax. That is what Sri Lanka and Pakistan are going through.


We better wake up people, and our government should stop looting and stealing money too....and make sane economic decisions....but with that taken into account, our tax revenue is scanty, and it needs improving.

Modified

For all those succubi who would gather to mock and call me defender of evil...



BBC 2019 ARTICLE

Also, saying that we don't earn enough revenue in tax is not the same thing as saying that

1. APC should not be held to account...they blddy well should, and yes they are wrong.

2. Tinubu is right to spend money on plane and yacht....he was wrong

3. APC government is corruption free...they are not, and they need to be held to account at all times.

4. APC is wise and running our country well...they are not, and they need to stop keeping our country on oil

Spare us the kindergarten explanations. The cost of incompetence is passed to the people.

Where is helinus, Mann bbq and their clique should hide their heads in shame assuming they even have one in the first instance.

This picture depicts the pitiable situation in which Tinubu's calamitous economic policies have reduced this country and its citizens into

Oga, I was driving a light truck through okota the other day in the evening. Some keke guy signaled to us that we had carried wahala, I did not understand. Someone else signaled. That was when my staff decided to come down to check as we were in traffic. Guess what? Some fellow was hanging on the back of the truck for free ride. He was told to get down. He pleaded for transport fare for my worker that he was trekking all the way to iyana ipaja after close from work. I could have offered him a ride since we had space, but this is naija. I no want wahala.
People are suffering ohh, imagine that guy trekking 20km to get home.

CollectMoney:
Sure, lagos is the property of the Yorubas.

That the Yorubas even get worked up on this non-issue is bewildering.

Oga, the man is clear and true. Lagos is owned by its indigenes. If you are from elsware, Imo, delta, Osun, oyo, kano, UK, America, you are resident in Lagos.

He is very clear and eloquent. Lagos is not no man's land. It has indigenes who have no where else to go. If you are from elsewhere, you are resident in Lagos.
Well said oloja elect.

Where is wole Soyinka?

Mindlog:
Messed up....no first aid was given to the one brought out breathing until he died.

Given first aid by who naa? If you or I were there would we have given firstaid? how many nigerians can perform first aid? It is so easy for us as Nigerians to pass comments as if we leave on the moon and not naija.

Omo, it is now a thing of pride, they are celebrated. I was at Asaba last week, no be joke for that town. The best hotel is always fully booked. Impossible to get reservation booking 3 weeks ahead. I asked why, they said yahoo boys pay for as much as 6 months ahead! Howwww?? The cheapest room is 50k per night! On the flight back to Lagos nko? At the airport car pack like 4 benz suvs all white with loud exhaust drove and parked. We boarded flight and those guys were inside, one seated next to me. As the plane was taxing about to take off one of them seated at the front end of the plane shouted emeka billions! that one hailed him back, present!, Kenny Cash!!, another one answered, Mike money!, that one answered, chinedu wire! Emmy cashout!! Omo, I weak. See as they were hailing themselves in a full aircraft.

Lol

They should have left him let him get to Iran where he will be castrated and hung like a dog. Idiots, going to spoil our already damaged name the more.

Seefinish:
Inasmuch as Tinubu hurts us as Nigerians through his demonic policies, talking about kidnapping Tinubu should be seen as an insult to all Nigerians.

Interesting

Is it true boko haram also ordered crackdown on terrorism?
