DissTroy: 7. Banky W - Lagos Party. I consider it the most rhythmic and melodious city anthem of all time. Better than Jay Z and Alicia Keys' New York. And better-replay value years after. It doesn't sound dated at all.
It's also the most star-studded Nigerian music video till date despite being 16 years old.
Banky W was king here - rapper and sang, and gave a 100 delivering each part.
OasisX: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 7.5% VAT ON TRANSFERS: STOP PANICKING!
If you’ve seen the news that a 7.5% VAT on mobile transfers and USSD transactions starts on January 19th, you might be worried that the government is about to "eat" your money.
The headlines are scaring people, but the math shouldn't. A lot of people are misinterpreting this directive. Let’s break it down simply so you can see the actual impact.
1. The Big Misconception Many people think that if they send ₦100,000, the government will take 7.5% of that amount (which would be ₦7,500). THIS IS 100% FALSE.
2. The Reality The 7.5% VAT is NOT charged on the money you are sending (the principal). It is charged ONLY on the SERVICE FEE your bank or fintech (Moniepoint, OPay, Kuda, etc.) charges you.
3. Let’s Look At The Math If you send ₦100,000 today: • The Principal: ₦100,000 (Your money) • The Bank Fee: ₦50.00 (What the bank charges for the service) • The 7.5% VAT: ₦3.75 (This is the charge, 7.5% of the ₦50 fee) • EMTL (Stamp Duty): ₦50.00 (The standard flat levy) • TOTAL COST TO YOU: ₦100,103.75
4. What about USSD? If you use a code like *737# or *919# and the session fee is ₦20: • The 7.5% VAT on that fee is ₦1.50. • Your total cost becomes ₦21.50. It is a kobo-difference, not a life-changing amount.
5. Why Is This Happening? 🤔 The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) is simply ensuring that all digital services are fiscalized. Just like you pay VAT on a bottle of drink or a data plan, you are now paying VAT on the service of digital banking.
The Bottom Line: Your savings are safe. Your capital isn't being slashed. This is a tax on the bank's commission, not your hard-earned wealth.
Don’t let misinformation cause unnecessary stress. There is a huge difference between a Tax on your Money and a Tax on a Service Fee.
DissTroy: I'm more likely to gravitate towards people who are blunt and real. None of that fake niceties then you are saying something else behind closed doors. That's why Elon Musk can't be canceled.
That's why Ellen DeGeneres who shilled for the Left was canceled. She was pushing the "Be Kind" campaign but was exposed later by staff and associates for being mean, rude, and racist.
Elon believes his race should reproduce more. I have no problem with that.
Anyone who has a problem with a person who says his own race should reproduce more when you hasn't called for yours to be stopped is the closet racist.
Japan is doing everything to increase birthday rate. South Korea too. China added. The whole Sino-racial group of people are complaining about their low birthrates and voicing concerns if they don't reproduce, they'll be replace soon. Japan especially.
Nobody has called them racist. But Elon is a racist because he wants his race (which he can't choose) repopulating. He hasn't said Blacks must be stopped.
The same Elon is against Bill Gates who keeps introducing measures to make Black women infertile.
But Bill Gates is your ally and Elon is your enemy.
Black people... Think!
Another of his divisive tweet. Her district is 3% Somali and 61% white but Musk will amplify the Somali part.

You’ve said many things that don’t relate to me. I follow Elon and you’ll see him constantly posting black crimes or something related but never a white crime. No one said they shouldn’t reproduce, na still them Dey kill themselves for war. How many thousands of oyibo men have died in Russia-Ukraine war. If black commit crime, Elon will blame culture and race. If Oyibo commit crime, Elon will say it’s the woke mind virus.
DissTroy: We look back on Nigeria in the colonial times and how it was better administered and the years after when all the colonialist had not left yet were our most prosperous as a country. Even on this thread and on the wider social media. Should I post examples across social media?
Don't our old uncles and aunties remind us of these things? Don't they remind you? Are they glorifying Colonialism?
Interestingly, the better administrated parts of South Africa and Zimbabwe are those controlled by... You know the words I'm about to type next.
You and I know why Bonny Island seemed, for years, better administrated and organized than many other parts were. At least parts of it.
Something been wrong with Elon, tweeting things not meant for someone at his level.
we have a video of the ship while being chased and boarded
BREAKING WORLD EXCLUSIVE: RT obtains FIRST footage of Russian-flagged civilian Marinera tanker being CHASED by US Coast Guard warship in the North Atlantic https://t.co/sNbqJkm5O5pic.twitter.com/XtbBML3a6j
please show us the submarine and warship(s) escorting it?
trump has an active imagination they should release evidence of the russian ships scurrying away shouldn't be difficult like we have a video of them boarding the undefended ship
-Lord
Russia should come out and tell us their ships were not around. Trump don talk him own, make Putin that likes news conference come talk too.
Hannity: Did Vladimir Putin call you after the tanker was seized?
Trump: I don't want to say that but the fact is that the Russian ships -- there was a submarine and a destroyer, they both left very quickly when we arrived and we took over the ship and the oil is being unloaded… pic.twitter.com/ryreL8joy8
BlueRayDick: The man don too shiit for church. The ex-wife said she knows at least 8 to 10 women whom he had affairs with that later got pregnant for him.
One of his choristers who had a child for him has come out to link up with Doris Ogala. The ex-wife too has been granting interviews exposing how he slept with wives of church elders, choristers and other females.
How his members will sit to listen to whatever he has to say about holiness and righteousness after all this dies down is what I really want to see
Truly, the country is sick if trucks can just park on highways. It's very rampant here. Almost ever old Toll gates are littered with trucks parked anyhow.
But then, if the speed wasn't high, they would have been able to control it. The picture shows that the road was good. Maybe they tried overtaking, and calculated wrongly.
May their families find comfort
Whats high speed on naija road is another question as we no Dey ever get speed signs. That should be a 100/110 road and ain’t controlling your car well if going 110.
afrodoc2: Feeling every pain is the least of his problems.
With this kind of accident the guy should have been secured on a stretcher and had a cervical collar placed around his neck.
The most important reason is to immobilise him in order prevent or at least minimise spinal injury.
I also hope that they scan his whole body at the hospital and don’t just assume he is okay because he has no specific complaints.
True doc, hopefully Lagos hospitals gets him stable enough till he’s ready to jet off to UK for proper treatment. No matter the money you get for naija, problem still they and that’s what I try to tell people.
