DarkSpirit: “I gave everything for love, even played stepdad — now I’m the villain?” — Nigerian man who was waybilled from Uyo to Lagos shares emotional thread of heartbreak, betrayal, and survival after supporting his ex’s business and helping raise her son, only to end up allegedly locked out, ab+sed, and broken 💔🧳

I also blame the guy for doing all those acts thinking she will love him...its like a rat being nice to a cat...lol
TallNigerian: This is a good one honestly. Contrary to the misinformation being peddled around, this tax administration Act will protect the lowest earners, NMSMEs and other vulnerable sectors of the economy. It will also streamline taxation and eliminate multiple taxation.
Then the sweetest part is that all the revenue generating agencies that used to siphon revenues will now face a hard time doing that. NRA will now be solely responsible for all revenue collection in Nigeria.
Here are the key advantages of the recently signed tax reform bills in Nigeria:
Simplified tax administration Creation of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) replaces multiple collection agencies, streamlining tax filing and reducing overlapping levies.
Relief for low‑income earners Personal Income Tax (PAYE) exemption for annual incomes up to ₦1 million (₦83 k/month), while those earning up to ₦1.7 million/month get reduced rates. Essential goods like food, healthcare, education, electricity, and public transport are zero-rated for VAT.
SME and micro‑business incentives Threshold for SME registration raised from ₦25 million to ₦50 million in annual turnover, with full exemption from Company Income Tax (CIT), VAT, and withholding tax—supporting the backbone of the Nigerian economy.
VAT ease & export encouragement Exports of goods, services, and IP are zero-rated for VAT. Input VAT credits on purchases are now clearer—reducing production costs.
Remote work support Nigerians working remotely for foreign employers (outside Nigeria) are exempt from PIT—encouraging participation in the global digital economy.
Benefits for States & Federalism
New VAT-sharing formula VAT distribution now gives Federal Government 10%, States 55%, Local Governments 35%. States under “place of consumption” model will see increased revenue—boosting fiscal autonomy.
State revenue empowerment States gain authority over LLP taxes, lottery/gaming levies, stamp duties, and receive 5% of federal VAT. Bonds issued by states are also tax-exempt—making state finance more independent.
Fiscal coordination via Joint Revenue Board Harmonised tax administration and audit frameworks across federal, state, and local levels—with the establishment of the Joint Revenue Board ensuring stronger intergovernmental collaboration.
Transparency, Dispute Resolution & Tax Fairness
Office of Tax Ombudsman & Appeal Tribunals Provides a streamlined, 14‑day window for resolving taxpayer grievances, reducing enduring disputes and arbitrary assessments.
Nuisance tax repeal & progressive tax structure More than 50 redundant levies eliminated. Tax rates for PIT, VAT, and capital gains restructured progressively—shielding low-income earners.
Increased transparency Establishment of the Tax Ombudsman and harmonised tax laws fosters accountability across MDAs, building trust with taxpayers.
Boost to Revenue & Economic Growth
Wider tax base, higher compliance Digital filing systems and single-windows reduce compliance costs, encourage formalisation and broaden the tax net—currently low at 10.8% of GDP.
Stimulus for investment and job creation Tax credits, CIT reduction from 30% to 25%, exemption for remote service PIT incentives, and export reliefs help boost business, drive employment, and attract capital.
Oil sector stimulus New executive order grants up to 20% tax credits to oil companies that achieve cost-efficiencies—intensifying productivity in a vital revenue stream.
No governor can afford to be lazy at this point, because each must look internally now
ediko5: When they are done tormenting the man, they'll come up with fabricated story of domestic violence or even set trap for the man to hit them and they'll use that as excuse to exit the marriage
Let's not export our raw products for the Chineses to refine and turnaround to sell it to us...let's think industrialisation and not fall for this trick.
A more reason I advocate for landlords to have other sources of income apart from the house they're renting. And landlords should have other businesses they're doing (something that will make them leave the house in the morning). However they're some good landlords
Doolove: Some time ago my boyfriend brought my matter here because I went to visit a male friend and I was called all sorts of derogatory names without anyone hearing my side of the story.
We met early last year, he was just out of school without a job but I still accepted him regardless. I had a stubborn ex that wouldn't go away so he was taking care of my bills while I was dating my new boyfriend which he was well aware of. I later had an issue with the ex that led to him calling the police on me accusing me of stealing the iPhone 7 that he bought for me while insisting that I return it or he would take the matter to his village and make sure I run mad. I stood my ground amid all the threats held on to the phone.
Coincidentally, things picked up for my guy when the ex left, he started getting lots of freelance gigs online so I didn't feel the absence of the old guy. My boyfriend made sure I didn't lack anything even without me asking. I had to break up with him once because I felt he was doing too much and I might be running him down. He laughed it off and gave me screenshots of some of his account balance.
Fast forward to this year and things went south again, The gigs stopped coming in, and some of the firms he worked for closed shop so he was surviving on his savings which were depleting very quickly. It's worthy to note that before now the major issue that I have had with him is the way he sees my relationships with other men. He practically doesn't want me to have male friends or even go on harmless sitouts with friends. He thinks it's a disrespect to him for me to have anything to do with other guys while I am in his place.
This has resulted in serious fights each I come back from seeing a friend, At times he gets so mad that he flings my things outside to go stay with whoever I went to see.
Meanwhile, things have been very tough for him recently to the extent that feeding has become difficult. He quickly invested in a farm with with a friend when his savings were going down and used the remaining money to startup a blog. Now it's looking as if the guy he's doing the farm business with has scammed him because it's been from one story to the other and he's so broke right now that he can't even afford data to write content for his blog which we all know blogging is even saturated and takes time to start paying.
I started work two weeks ago and I have been the one taking care of my transport fare, he only gives me 1k once in a while to support. It's this same men he doesn't want me to communicate with that has been helping me out all this while. He sits at home all day waiting for the proceeds of the farm so he can start mini importation of wigs.
Every guy that asks me out seems to be well to do than my guy and it really bothers me. They all have nice cares and ready to spend while my own guy now depends on begging to feed. Even though he's smart and all but I don't know where the break through will come from and it seems I am wasting my time with him.
On Monday was my off day and I was at home, I woke up with a mood swing so I wasn't talking to him. He was busy cleaning the house without mentioning breakfast so I had to call someone to come get breakfast for me. He got mad at me tagging it an insult to him. It caused issues and I left the house and dared him to do his worst and he asked me not to leave because I needed some positive vibes since he was boring me with his attitude. I actually went to my family house but he feels I always go to see a guy each time I leave the house.
I came back around 8pm to meet the house locked and he kept ignoring my calls knowing fully well that I didn't leave with my key and I wasn't feeling fine and needed to take my drugs. I got drenched by the rain and my sickness go worst. He came back home by 11pm that night.
Now I haven't been able to go to work for the past three days and he's been running around buying drugs and food on credit so I can get well when he caused it. On the other hand a guy that has been giving me stuffs asked me to take a break from work and rest and he will give me my full salary.
I am just confused, it seems I am leaving better things out there for a broke guy and it's bothering me. What do you guys think I should do
Please ignore any typos, I wrote in a hurry
Most women don't love men hence they sets standards for them...I keep telling men to treat women the way women treat them. That will bring a balance to the equation
shibyc: Guys, today I believe women are truly different creatures.
I opened a small business for my babe – just something modest. She's now pulling in about 100k monthly, but ever since the money started flowing, her attitude has changed completely.
Imagine, I sell her products sometimes and give old customers a small discount—like ₦100—and she starts fighting me. Argument upon argument.
Then if I borrow small money from her during emergencies (just like ₦2k or ₦5k), wahala go burst. Even when she knows I have money and I'm definitely paying back, the way she reacts eh, like I’m begging her.
She forgets one thing: The capital is mine. 90% of the customers are mine and everything she’s using today, I handed it to her on a platter.
Now I’m realizing that, if this business grows bigger, she might not even want me anymore. She could decide to go solo and live her own life.
So now I’m asking you all:
Is the best solution to avoid empowering a woman financially ?
I was doing it with the mindset of being educated and forward-thinking, but now I dey reason am twice.
What do you all think?
You made a mistake. Show her, don't do it for her...you used your hand to create the monster.

Danjuma04: Davido is currently in Ibiza to party with his manager, Asa Asika and accompanied by his team which includes Cubana Chief Priest. Chief Priest had earlier shared that they were currently in Ibiza for Asa Asika.
Now Davido has posted that the security in Ibiza tried to kill he and his team. He even shared photos and posted that they should watch out. This is not a good one coming from Ibiza and a renowned star like Davido should not be subject of this.
Nigeria has caught up with him...I hope those in the system will learn. Part of what the ENDSARS protesters were agitating for was a better welfare package for policemen but based on their strong head, them no gree
Willy2025: Where is Ibiza located and what was the cause of the altercation? It is high time you respected the rules and regulations of your host. Why would you leave Nigeria just to go and party in one obscure corner where your personal safety is not guaranteed?
We dey always like to show our self once we enter a place...typical trademark of a Nigerian.
I wish he could provide concrete evidence, and I also the handlers of the president would reply with concrete evidence too. However I hope it isn't a distraction from the main issues going on in the country.
cutecommend: If your heart is genuine and good, dress the way your heart looks like.
I got this insight from someone: "Do you expect a mad man to say his heart is not mad, though he is appears, behaves and dresses like a mad man?"
As a true Christian, it is wrong to dress in worldly, seductive and ungodly ways that makes even sinners confused or doubt whether you are a true Christian. You dress to glorify God, not to dress or appear anyhow while saying "God sees the heart".
Lastly, decent dressing should not be worshipped or idolized: and a Christian should dress decently in God's standard and by the leading of the HolySpirit, and not because of any Church's sentiments, tradition, dogma e.t.c.
Please remember to say this prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy on me. Forgive me all my sins and come into my life in Jesus name. Amen.
Happy Sunday to you. Visit a bible-believing church.
Dressing according to the bible had 3 purposes;
1. To cover your unclothedness 2. For beauty 3. For glory
