CareerRe: Why Are Men Not Helping Each Other To Become Better Men? by pacespot(m): 2:52pm On Sep 29, 2021
Nobody is even going about asking anybody for help. But the way men going about antagonizing one another these days is alarming. If you can't help me why don't you mind your business. That is why men are always victims of societal fury coz they see each other as competitors, even the one you are meeting for the first time.
PoliticsRe: Joseph Daudu: Northern Governors Should Develop Economies Not Bicker Over VAT by pacespot(m): 1:26pm On Sep 29, 2021

Your region have benefited from the North for quite long...in case you dont know! History never lie...

How Herdsmen Paid To Educate Southern Nigeria.
By 1943, one of the highest revenue generator for the federation account was livestock tax.
Northern region generated £120,000
Eastern region generated £2,000
Western region generated £50
Lagos colony generated 0
The expenditure on education was as follows:
Northern region £2,341
Eastern region £47,000
Western region £34,000
Lagos colony £17,000
What this meant was that it was cow money from the north that colonialists use to send majority of Nigerians from Southern region to school at that time.
If you have no knowledge of Adams Smith rhetorics on "THE WEALTH OF THE NATION", then don't join the debate on VAT.

The North is capable of functioning independently. The example of Kaduna overtaking Kano in that ranking of viable states is a theory easy to analyze.
Before oil rents distracted northern political elites, the Native Authority system had far-reaching tax-collecting structures and a flourishing agrarian economy servicing the needs of the region. What the North achieved in that system is unfortunately still the high-point of the region today. Without oil rents, they built Ahmadu Bello University, which is still the largest in sub-Saharan Africa and Ahmadu Bello Stadium, one of the best sports facilities then. They also set up New Nigerian Development Company, the largest black-owned conglomerate in Sub-Saharan Africa then.
The North of that agrarian era was an industrial hub, as the policymakers built new cities, textile factories, hospitals and distinguished institutions, one of which was the prestigious Kaduna Polytechnic, which was also the largest of its kind in Africa south of the Sahara then.
So what are you driving at? We should stick to the same system that has proven unworkable since 1960 not only for the South but for the North itself. North will also benefit from the restructuring bandwagon that has seemed to dominate political discourse today. With a large expanse of land they have huge resources to explore for their agrarian revolution, not to talk of huge amount of minerals that have found deposited in some parts of the North. The only people who are happy with the current system are the politicians themselves, and they cut across all ponds, forget about their political rhetorics and bylines, they are all the same. If we restructure this country and allow every region and state to develop at their own pace, this will spur competition for growths. That is the major benefit of restructuring.

Giving free money to people is not the best way to end poverty, if you want to help people, give them money in such a way tha will help investments and productivity. But the bambiala culture is part and parcel of northerners, they will rather stick to the lopsided sharing formulas in the country than building capacity towards their own development.

Some of them might even think these VATs are their money which the government is taking from the south, not knowing it is just the magnanimity of the economically bouyant states to help the less economically bouyant states in the country

Have you heard anything about copyright ©️ or trademark ™️ before? You northern cows just take anything along ethnic and religious lines. I don't even know who merged us with these cows who cannot make a difference between a copyright infringement and politics tongue

Have you people noticed how the constitutional reviews that were initiated after the EndSARS and based on the demand of Southern States governors have been miraculously swept under the carpet? How do you expect us to trust these northerners that can easily change tune based on how events are playing out in the country? Now they are saying the demand to make the next president come from the south is unconstitutional.

TravelRe: World Tourism Day: Beautiful Pictures From Tourist Sites In Nigeria by pacespot(m): 8:22pm On Sep 27, 2021
LMS1:
Most Of This So Called Tourist Sites In Nigeria Cannot Even Beat Everyday Villages In Countries Like Poland, Luxemburg, Andorra Etc.
But May God Help Our Nation Sha.

May We Live And Be Sufficient Enough To Visit This Places:
Burj Khalifa - Dubai
Himilalayas - China cheesy
Yellowstone - USA
Eiffiel Tower - France
Pyramids - Egypt
Colosseum - Italy
Huwaii Islands - USA
Hollywood Hills - USA
Maldives Island- Maldives
Santorini - Greece
Tahpei - Taiwan
Taj Mahal - India
Grand Canyon - USA
Maroon Bells - USA
Nuclear Site - North Korea cheesy
Almafi Cost - Italy
And Last Last Aso Rock - Abuja grin
The difference is that those ones are well developed. We can add our man-made touch in our tourism in Nigeria. No nation is without its own beauty. Don't forget that the Burj khalifa you mentioned was once a desert.
PoliticsRe: Masked Oyo Indigenes Give Fulani, Hausa 30days To Leave Yorubaland by pacespot(m): 5:33pm On Sep 27, 2021
Truthfully speaking, Nigeria would have been far better than this without the impediments of these Fulani's and Hausas standing on the way of others. Yoruba can hold their leaders into account in any event that they failed in their leadership responsibilities, look at what they did to that fraudulent Oba Akiolu of Lagos during EndSARS. Igbo/Biafrans have also shown that they have what it takes to hold their leaders by the balls in any event, it is often these Fulani's and Hausas that Nigerian politicians often rely on to negate any bipartisan movement by the masses to bring about a better change.

If you say black africans lack the ability to govern themselves successfully, but Botswana will make you to change your thought. I can argue with anyone that Botswanans are no better than Yoruba's people in terms of leadership skills and civilization. Botswanans have successfully built a prosperous country for themselves in which the human development index can favorably compete with some parts of Europe. Sincerely, Nigeria would have fared better without these northerners whose views about politics and economy are solely based on ethno-religious affiliation.

TV/MoviesRe: BBNaija: Pere's Management Reacts To Pere & Angel's Eviction Game by pacespot(m): 11:11am On Sep 27, 2021
grin I know it will come to this. BBN did not expect the kind of backlash they get with their twist on Pere and Angel White House game last night, now they are using his management team as a face saving from the public who are already calling the show a scam. The twist is completely needless to speak. I know biggie and other BBN handlers are trying to be creative with the show, but this one did not cut right well with the viewers who used their money to vote for the housemates of their choice. Voting is the final thing in any decision making process, they could have done their twist last week before the viewers cast their votes. Anything after the voting is more like a rigging than a twist to the show watchers.

PoliticsRe: Buhari asks G20 to cancel Nigeria’s debt after fresh $4bn, €710m loan request by pacespot(m): 7:57am On Sep 25, 2021
Kastonkastroll:
My annoyance is that these dumb politicians take these loans in our names. Go and see what Chinese people are doing to zambians because of the monies they borrowed from them. You will pity zambians. Chinese people are now joining Zambia police. Pitiable state I tell you
But despite these massive borrowings by Buhari, Nigeria has one of the lowest external debt to GDP ratio in the world. All of the developed countries in the world have at least over 100% percent of their GDP as the external debts. USA bonds are the biggest, Americans use issuing of bonds to finance their budgets, that is why their current account often shows negative figures. Same with Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, France, etc. The problem with Nigeria and other developing countries going on borrowing spree is that, their credit ratings are poor compared to these advanced countries, and they are also lacking in terms of assets and human capital development.
EducationRe: Auchi Poly Bans Cars Belonging To Students From Entering Campus by pacespot(m): 7:44am On Sep 25, 2021
airsaylongcome:
Then go to a private University. Or go abroad. And drive against traffic there as well.
So to you now only the students drive recklessly, if at all this ban is due to reckless drivings by some students, why don't they pick them out and sanction them rather than punishing other students for some students misbehaviour huh
EducationRe: Auchi Poly Bans Cars Belonging To Students From Entering Campus by pacespot(m): 11:33pm On Sep 24, 2021
So do they think the school belong to only the staff? The school belongs to the students even more than the management issuing this directive. So if I'm a student and I'm not accustomed to using a public transport and the shuttle services provided within the school campus are inadequate to facilitate my moving around, this directive automatically expelled me from the school as a student. These people should come up with a better solution to their problem in addressing the reckless driving by some students within the school rather than this broad issuing of ban, unless they have ulterior motive for this ban other than what the reports said.

Is the school management being jealous of their students' successes or there is something they don't want us to know huh grin

Don't be surprised, the man will be grossly underpaying his staff!

If only we have a viable price control system put in place, such wickedness would have been hugely curtailed.
I tell you, we need Maximum Price control measure in Nigeria, this is what Buhari should have been doing to curb the rising inflation and Naira slump against Dollar. People abuse their business privileges in Nigeria a lot, if you are not willing to adhere to certain pricing standards of your business and products and services, government will shut your business or you will be made to pay a fine. It is within the purview of government to control the market forces so that things don't get cumbersome in their monetary policy measures.

However back to the question, I've never been charged of tax by any American company, AdSense, Amazon, etc. Maybe there is a missup in the filling of your tax form on YouTube, kindly check the details and make sure you're not showing your location as the USA. You are not supposed to fill all the details in the form, just enter some required* information to anable you save the document since you don't want to pay the tax.
