Celebrating increased vat generation while the citizens get more impoverished. Its judicious usage is more important as far as we are concerned.

Did you notice the 10b cost of collection?
I can bet one "known" company was the beneficiary.

Fgo31:
. Who is the politician that showed the audited tax proof?

You don't know?
Ok it is Desmond Eliot. Lol

Petrol+greeze finished.

How can you see a pastor wearing such flashy looking big fake gold watch and not know he is a guyman? I can bet he is wearing white pointed shoes too. Lol

.

Itsrm:
These guys clearly do not rate us. Yahya Bello paid $840,000 out of pocket?


How much was his salary as Kogi State governor?

Let him show proof of income since he started his working life till date, the taxes he paid, full audit to show how he can afford to pay fees at American international school. What business he did to enable him buy 2023 model meyback Mercedes for just 1 if his wives.
Truth if the matter is that we handed Nigeria to a bunch of criminal to run.
Only 1 politician so far has provided fully audited tax proof in the history of Nigeria politics as we know it. Correct me if I am wrong. Even oga at the top never showed us his not to talk of this Bello fellow.

Treadway:
for real?? Bubu reduced it to $20 limit per month in like 2021/2022. Since then, I no even bother to use card buy anything abroad again. Any idea when the embargo was lifted? If no be say na you type, and I know you on here, I for say na lie.

Modified: I see you have provided more info on the bank/card, but still I'm curious. Does this mean even since back then wey dem place the embargo, you were able to bypass all that with the providus card?

It never stopped with providus bank.
When all other bankcards were blocked, my kids were still able to shop online as their bank was providus. Infact to pay our YouTube premium, Netflix etc we had to use the kids cards. This then prompted me to make further enquiry and then opened account with the bank and got my platinum card.

tefund:
which bank card?

Providus bank.
The normal one has limit of around $300 monthly for online purchases. It does not work abroad. I use the platinum card which works abroad and online with a $3k monthly limit.
The platinum card gives access to executive lounges at the airport in Abuja and Lagos and others abroad. Guess what, it is only ₦4k to get the card.
It is a regular naira card that deducts from your naira account.

Who will they blame this time around? The thing about lieing is that you need to tell more lies to sustain the old ones

Allow cards to work internationally,especially as we are not self sufficient….when everyone can easily access dollars,demand/price will reduce when supply is excess

My card works internationally. Aliexpress etc. $3k monthly limit.
Normal naira bank card.

Ette and nack is 5&6.

Is it by force to fight war? Abi is it not the politician that caused war that should be at the front?

santaclaws:
They can leave. Their main reason is reduced sales according to them and Nigeria is just leaving a recession, coupled with our fight against inflation. They're not the only ones who experienced a plunge in sales, a lot of Nigerians were forced to cut down on their expenditure and it affected businesses.

This is why the govt must support indigenous businesses cos all these foreign businesses have no real stake in the country. Once they can't maximise profit, they jet out. Only local businesses can bear with the country through hard times, just like BUA cement & Air Peace...

Interesting.
And how do you suggest government support the local business?

In my opinion this is absolutely rubbish. While I know absolutely nothing regarding betting, that fellow played a ticket under the betnaija platform. He went to an authorized agent/ representative of betnaija, placed a bet, left the premises with a ticket. His business is not with a local agent but with betnaija as a company. What ever internal scribble betnaija has is their business. It is between them and their agent and does not concern the ticket holder. They delayed him and made him to sign under duress ie his pressing need for money to accept 3m as final settlement. That paper he signed ought to be nullified.
Had he been wise, he should have kept 500k from the 3m to seek proper legal redress and also sue for heavy damages, citing issues his lawyers will dream of. Frankly speaking, betnaija is playing on his lack of intelligence or rather ignorance or naivity.
If betnaija has any integrity left, they should quickly pay his balance.

Namaster:
Some men are so horrrny they become STUPID.

This girl is NOT fine or beautiful. She has a HORSEY face that's buried under SEVERAL layers of makeup.

Plus, that bra is doing the work of a PILLAR. Pushing up and holding aloft things that are more humble than a poor man looking to borrow money.

Remove the bra and those breasts would be rolling on the floor like someone sharing testimony at a Chosen crusade.

Men need to respect themselves MORE. You don't give attention or validation to a random woman. Especially if she looks like THAT.

Guy, leave matter for Matias, that lady set baje in that video, her dance nko?
It was certainly pleasant to watch.

JuanDeDios:
Wow! Bizarre stuff. So only the gym guy somehow was not captured by the juju on this particular night. Did he say he had his own juju or what?

Lol, Supprisenly, the gym guy said he was struggling with very deep sleep, sleep so strong it was as if he had done heavy work the day before. Who know if he sef had dome some jazz too.

Kingpele:
Nigerian youths should avoid crime ..don't imitate our corrupt politicians and elders...

Too late. Most of them now see it as a livelihood, not even just that, but the only route of of poverty. Even my mechanics boy started comming to work intermittently. When you ask of him, his oga will say it seems he just made some money so has skipped work. True true, you check the boys profile, and it us all balling, Joint, club, Hennessey etc.
His oga says in few years time, we will find technicians but will not see as no youth wants to learn handwork, it is all yahoo..

They went to usa to learn how to make peace. The skills.
Eg valcanizer and panel beater are fighting, you come between them as say let there be peace, do not fight again.
How noble.
America is the best in teaching peace, see the peace they brought to Libya, Iraq, Gaza, Ukraine etc.

JuanDeDios:
So they successfully operated naked and left unseen?

In our case, it happened the first time. If I remember right, 2 flat screen TV disappeared mysteriously, even in a lounge area where some staff slept late at night. The next day police was invited, because it was assumed a worker stole the tvs even though the security said no staff left the premises at night carrying any thing. The workers arrested swore their innocence. It pained them they had to bail themselves. The gym guy swore he had never been to station before and that this case that took him there, he will even go on fasting for it to be solved. It's was a new hotel then. The management within days installed cctv. Meanwhile we started hearing on a daily basis, houses, flats etc all over the estate been burgled mysteriously. Houses with burglary proof will have them cut open, husband and wife will sleep, wakeup in the morning, their phones on the bed they were browsing with don disappear, bedroom TV, parlor TV, laptops etc, howwww?? Everyone in the estate was vigilant.
So one night, we finally saw how the thief came. He wore only pant, came through the upstairs window at the gym, jumped in from an uncompleted building next door built so close to the fence. Went through the top floor, fence then window. He went to the lounge, shit on the table, opened a drink, poured out the content and peed inside, next reception, tried to get money opening all the lockers, can you believe he went into where staff were sleeping, picked phones, some from their hands, he then entered another lounge where apparently that gym guy was sleeping, Omo, he stared at the gym guy suspecting he was not deeply at sleep like the others, 1 full unit he stood still staring no movement, hmm that was how the gym guy opened his eyes, both of them jam face to face! The thief bolted upstairs with gym guy in chase. The guy went streight for that window and flew out! He would have been caught if not that Mr gym in chase was not sure if there was more of the in the gym so he hesitated before entering while in chase.
I had the cctv footage on my phone uptill last week I deleted as it has been years

What the heck is wrong with that ones mouth? Is that teeth?
Anyway, I think it is their juju. They will be told to go naked for invincibility.
They also wear boxers if not completely naked, they rub oil all over their body so if you try to grab them, they easily slip away. Part of their juju is that once they gain entrance, they look for a visible place eg a dining table or living room table to shit, once this happens, it is alleged everyone in the premises will fall into very deep and mysterious sleep. So deep, they will enter your bedroom, adjust your head and steal your phone under your pillow. Lol.
I know this because few years ago, it happend 2ice in a guest house I am associated with.

KnownUnknown:
$720k?! Is the school on Mars?

You know how many wives he has? All yellow ohh, concubines nko? They will all be bearing puppies, the puppies he pays school fees for go many.
When I saw 8 years ago a young man then in his late 30s became a governor, I checked him out and saw at that age he already had 4 yellow mamas as wives. I knew that state had entered one chance.

LagosFirstSon:
Good to know else I will withdraw my child from that school too

What's that saying, the devil you know is better than the saint you don't.
How are you sure the school you move the kids to wount be worse?
After this exposure, surely heavy action will be taken to stop bullying. The management will be on their toes. Atleast for a while it wount happen, as eyes will be on the school.

See $$ like papper
Abi na 1 dollar bills?

mytime24:
I suspect Fulani herdsmen

Me too. There is a huge Fulani presence on that road.
Nb: just learnt it was a kidnaping incident. Heard he stopped at a joint, the owner was being kidnapped, they decided to take him along. He resisted and was shot.
May his soul rest in peace.

winner37:
Nigeria is such a country where any white man or woman would come in and be treating the citizens as slaves ..
In their country they don't have respect for Nigerians and they will sill come to Nigeria they will not have respect for Nigerians and our immigration will fold their hands and watch the movie , federal government will applause them ..

Oga, that supermarket is within their chamber of commerce or so, a Chinese premises where they have some busineses and residence. There is no outside advertising. To get to the store you have to pass their gate of which if you have no business or even resident there you may not have access to the place. I see nothing wrong in that.
I doubt you can drive to babcock University gate and say you want to go to their supermarket without being a staff, student on someone having cause to visit either of the earlier stated. Can you drive to IITA ibadan, then at the gate tell them you want to go to their supermarket, their pool side bar and lounge to shop or relax? You will never be let past the security gate! I remember those days as students in the early 90s, IITA had the best burgers and chips etc, all cheap and subsidized. We will go there, then get a resident to call the security gate to allow us enter as if we are guest paying a visit, all for the purpose of gaining access to their poolside lounge to eat burger or chicken and chips.

If the store is located within their premises or estate and it is exclusive for their use ie resident use, what then is the problem?
Can you drive to eg the gate of IITA ibadan and tell them you want to their supermarket?

Fighttillvictory:
Nig. seems to be on another dimension and does off point things. So students who finished their secondary school at 15 will have to wait for 3 years before entering uni. Isn't that potential killing

But their own kids will be flown abroad to gain admission and have an early start in life.

God1000:
I think Vladimir Putin badly miscalculated on this Ukraine invasion thinking the war would prevent NATO expansion in eastern Europe

Now Poland is talking about hosting US nukes on its soil

Yeah, it's called proliferation. US puts nukes in Poland which has been their aim for many many years, starting from the placement of missile systems in Poland (despite Russian protest) under the guise it was anti missile system against Iran. The Russian argument was that the story was bull shit. Those missiles could easily be repurposed to ground attack mode as a decapitating first strike system.
Anyway, what happened in the 60s under Kennedy will happen again. Russia will install nukes in Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela etc, probably in iran.
The problem is that the US acts like a spoilt kid, they "do , others then react and "do", America then gathers it's puppies aka allies to gang up and say you are breaking world order.
In other words, do as I say, not as I do.

I remember saying when a pack of benson becomes ₦10 I will stop smoking.
₦900 and still stuck there.
God help me..
If I can stop alcohol for 1.5 years so far, I will surely stop cigar.

ivandragon:
The post is self explanatory.

First of all, I relied mainly on end period priced over a given period so it matches with the minimum wage. As at 97/98, fuel was N11.

It shows that between 1999 and 2014, there was significant economic development that directly impacted on the common man. From 2015, things have taken a nosedive.

It also sets the standard for what apc should be aiming for. Not audio projects that have no positive impact on the common man.

It also aims to lay to rest the position of some apc apologist who, when the government is questioned about the hardship and price rises, also ask how much the PDP met prices. Though prices increased under PDP, so did purchasing power.

I fully concur with you.
I mistakenly thought you meant purchasing power is better now than it was before 2015.

ivandragon:
Outside all the grammar, below clearly shows how bad things have become for the common man...

Dont get you writeup, is it that things are better now than it was then?
Anyway 1990 upwards, I remember fuel was increased to 60kobo per liter, it then rose to 90kobo, abacha then increased it to ₦1+, there was another to ₦5, after heavy protest, it settled at ₦3.75kobo. All this was 1991 to around 1995-6. I know because I was in uni ibadan then and all the distraction of owning a car as a student. ₦5 fuel got me almost 8 liters at 60kobo per liter.
