Uba Sani is just enjoying his last years of fame till he becomes irrelevant

The biggest BST in Naija

Trump is not interested in CIA installed puppets in foreign countries. .

Reno the big mouth has moved from Obi to El Rufai. I pray that Mallam should ignore him, they are not in the same class

Not like us" winning is just politics. Drake is bigger than K dot. No baby oil, no Grammy award for Oil Master

What about those that didn’t survive or weren’t rescued. Ladies are now endangered species

When you vote in a morafvckin morbidly obese orange turd into power, shiit happens!

Morafvcker forgot that, his conviction has been registered in history. The first felon and rapist to become president of the USA.

Cry more. Americans are not stupid like Nigerians that vote based on tribal sentiments

Ilekokonit:
At least she has more balls than Mark Zuckerberg who capitulated and removed fact checking from Facebook to please Trump and line his pockets to the point that it is now allowable to call black people farm equipment (i.e beasts of burden or farm slaves) on Facebook.

Stop crying, are Nigerians not tribalistic

The full length video was gruesome to say the least. It was a brutal expose on the saying "kill or be killed".
https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1hrs6oz/close_knife_fight_between_a_russian_and_a/ (original clip here)

The Ukranian soldier was really sloppy and it cost him his life. He appeared injured or atleast disoriented because his movements weren't steady and he fell while approaching the enemy's hideout before the main confrontation. He was probably tired and weak.

He was also heavily stacked with gear (grenade, ammo, even a camera) which is not suitable for close quarter combat because you give the enemy more leeway to grab and maneouvre you during the tussle and you carry more weight which is a restriction on you. The russian was lighter. In fact, the russian used one of the ukranian's grenade to finish him off.

The Ukranian heavily miscalculated too. He performed a technique inadequately. He tried to flush out the enemy using a grenade. Usually as you flush out the enemy, someone is meant to be positioned at the escape point to either surrender or take out the enemy. In his case, he threw in the grenade and couldn't run to the entrance fast enough so the enemy ran out of the enclosure and met him at the sharp bend. That technique is best used when you have assistance.

Cry more, come 20th January Zelensky's days will be numbered

There is nothing wrong in having ambitions, is Tinubu not the President now?

Gov Uba Sani is a confused failure, he has nothing to present as his score card that’s why persecution of Mallam El Rufai is a bigger deal to him. Mallam will definitely come out cleaner and stronger

God1000:
He's a friend of Putin, Americans voted for an idiot the second time, let the drama continue


I remember people calling me western asslicker for opposing the invasion of Ukraine, the same people later labelled me a terrorist sympathizer for speaking out against the genocide in Gaza, now they have turned around again to support this madman, calling me a Muslim and gay for opposing trump and his gang of criminals

It's always good to stand for the truth and what is right.

I want Russia-Ukraine war to end as soon as possible, Putin should withdraw his troops from Ukraine and Ukraine on the other hand should stay away from NATO

You are the idiot that think you are wiser and more sensible than Americans that voted for him the third time

dullard....I am also a northerner like u... I am I. Support of the vat ..

This vat reform will stop insecurity in the North....

Northern governors will sit-up and fight insecurity...

Read this explanation below ...written by fellow Nairalander

From what I know of the bill, let me give you my own explanation.

VAT is tax paid on finished goods/services that reach the final consumer (e.g. turkey eventually consumed, hotel bills eventually settled, construction materials eventually used), it is based on 15% of retail price. Some add it to the price that final consumers are to see and so on. Final consumers then pay the retail price plus that tax.

Normally, this tax is to be remitted by the retailer. However, in Nigeria, because of some acute lack of organization in its part, it is even remitted by the manufacturers/distributors. And because of that, VAT is remitted by Lagos State (hq of the manufacturer) instead of in the various states in Nigeria and by the retailers.

FG wants to better organize the VAT taxing structure, and at that, wouldn't be collected by FIRS (FG tax collector), but by each state's IRS (each state's tax collectors) instead.

And further, rather than FG pooling the VAT tax revenue, and then sharing it to the states using the FAAC sharing formula, FG says the states having collected it by themselves would then take 85% of it and give the FG 15%. This is equitable, right? In almost all countries of the world, sales tax is the state's responsibility.

The North opposes it for these:
If your state's people are poor, and do not consume plenty things, or expensive items, or luxurious items, your state's VAT revenue would be low.
Also, if your state's tax collection is inefficient or sharia no tax-bound, your state's VAT revenue would be low.

So, the North believes that their people consume poorly and their VAT would be low compared to if Lagos State or River state share theirs with them for example.
Also, they don't collect taxes, except maybe Kano, and even so, little compared to other ever-tax-ready states of the South, so they believe their revenue would be low compared to if the inefficient VAT'ing system still sticks.


The FG continues to say that, no, eventually, there'd be benefits to those Northern states inasmuch as they encourage productivity and developments in their states, and in which increases incomes and increase consumption, hence high VAT revenue, but apparently, that seems like death sentence to some of those state's governor.


With the above, I hope I have been able to explain the tax reform bill, in the simplest way.


And PS: states like Ekiti state in South may also be badly affected by it, and that's the point, each state's government should also work on developments from the grassroot in order for them to reap high state revenues.

Your explanation of sales tax is vague. Secondly, if those HQs stop remitting those high taxes to Lagos, will price of goods come down?

ValCon888:
I am yet to encounter a Nigerian in the US who likes or voted for Trump. Only Nigerians in Nigeria like him because ignorance is bliss.

Shut up, I voted for him and I don't live in liberal shit places like California

God1000:
You are so naive, how is this great news, he's a man of integrity, that's why he's stepping down, unlike your hero Mr trump who was impeached twice by the house of representatives for several wrongdoings and he still held on to power with the help of the republican senate

Don't worry, very soon far right and white supremacists will take charge of governments across Europe and America, let's see how it will favor you and your brothers planning to cross the Mediterranean sea

You are so pained like u follow Burna boy chop Diddy Oil. Support for Ukraine is dwindling, the next conservative leader won't be all in for Ukraine lol

This tax reform only benefits one State and that's Lagos State. If passed every major institution will be forced covertly to relocate to Lagos.
Tinubu na real thief, he knows what he is doing. 2027 is not sure for him and Seyi Tinubu will likely replace Sanwo Olu, connect the dots

The brother must be a useless axeman. . Anyway, no price, no pay

The political irrelevance of Wike will shock the whole world that new word will have to used to explain it.
2027 can't come faster

Wetin woman dy do for her room? Hope say no be lessy

FuckYeyeMods:
After your grammar that "Russia didn't betray Assad", You closed your argument with "Russia traded Syria for Eastern Ukraine".
I actually also watched the documentary of where you got your points but in reality, Biden signed a nud which gives Ukraine power to shoot its long range missiles in the heart of Russia, Iran are preparing for any confrontation with isreal, Hezbollah are fighting Isreal in Lebanon. Assad was on his own.

Ukraine invasion of Kursk region in Russia changed everything. Come 20th January Zelensky will be hit with new reality
