Make all of them go sleep joor . How have they exercised their opposition powers ? Na so so talk talk these co-criminals dey do . Tinubu has ruled with little or no opposition . He is ruling unfettered . Yeye dey smell. He cancel the debt . Oya go and do your worst ! Tired of all these yeye politicians always talking no action. Organize massive protests . Do something aside from talk talk . Shish

Venezuela has one of the world's largest oil reserves. Having control of it will help USA keep the petro dollar intact . In fact watch how dollar will gain value after the 11 am press conference .

Now that said , this is where russia ans china can show their strength . They should deploy military assets into Venezuela. Lets see what will happen .

The annoying part of this is that you have access to internet to fact-check this .

PoliticsRe: Old Tax Law Vs New Tax Law by parags(m): 12:53pm On Jan 02

Bro, the funniest past is, those who have been paying tax regularly before, let them tell us how much they used to pay as tax per annum in the past and use this new formula to tell us how much they will be taxed now. Irrespective of category, you are paying less than the previous law.
What exactly have they benefited from paying those taxes ? Do they have good roads ? Better health care ? Understand that thenissue is not paying tax that people are against . It is the fiscal irresponsibility of nigerian government. All the money borrowed , saved from subsidy removal , from our oil , what have they done with it ? You dont give a wasteful child more money. He will waste it no matter how small or big . If the government has shown they are responsible , Nigerians will gladly agree for even higher taxes .

Nigerians are so selfishly unpatriotic. Obviously d new tax laws will help d country with more funds for infrastructures but due to some selfish reasons they are opposing it. But they go abroad to countries where gains of taxes are so clear. They'll carry their phones and be showing off.
Even if your arguments are based on government officials will eat your taxes, is not paying taxes d solution?.
Point of correction . Nigerians will gladly pay taxes if they will see the money work in their favour . They will even do more for a fiacally responsible government . But we all know it will stolen or siphoned . The money we have made from oil what have we done with it ? The money given to governors since subsidy was removed what have they done with it ? Why will I power my house , pay vigilantes , pray to God for help during emergencies, public schools are worse than some public toilets , drill boreholes because no potable water , contribute for transformers , repair roads etc yet government wants to take more from me ? If i pay and I have security , water board is constant , good roads that i dont get to repair my car every other day , good public schools that my kids dont have to go to expensive private schools , good health care , it means my unneccesary expenses have greatly reduced and I will gladly pay taxes so my government can continue to provide or create enabling environment for me to continue to enjoy those things without worrying .
PoliticsRe: No Tax If You Are Earning Below ₦800k Annually by parags(m): 12:36pm On Jan 02
helinues:
Your last paragraph,That's a very good question.

Those who have been fuming about the new tax law, how many of them are earning above N800k
Please stop this . Seems most of you guys are disconnected from the realities . How much is 800k per year ? In fact how much is 2 million per year in this country? Hope you know that 800k is not per month ?
Lets break it down. The average labour on a construction site earns 5k per day . Lets say he works for 27 days a month that is 135k per month . That is 1,620,000 per year . That means 820k is taxable income . Please tell me if laborers look like people who should be taxed in this country ? Are they not one of the poorest in the country ? Laborers dont even have bikes . A decent meal on their level is 2k . Meaning more than 30 percent has gone on a meal .
This tax is oppressive . And they will useless the money they collect anyhow . Just watch . Like they will suddenly become accountable .

Which Nigerians? 🤣 the same ones that collected money to rig elections ? The turnout will be quite low in 2027. As it stands today with the early potential contestants, I no dey vote . They are all not worthy of my time. If any new credible contestant comes into the race , maybe .
PoliticsRe: Plateau Governor Mutfwang Formally Resigns From PDP by parags(m): 3:51pm On Jan 01
And someone is telling me that obi going to ADC will upturn Tinubu. So many political amateurs out there . 2027 is in the bag to Tinubu . He is leaving no stone unturned. If this one too goes to APC , ADC with Atiku and Obi as vice, will not smell any anything in 2027. Especially with PDP still in disarray and wike holding their throat.
Where is the Party structure of ADC ? Where are the support systems during elections ? Tinubu with all his governors will rig nonsense into the 2027 elections . We might even have more votes than registered voters 🤣

Now on a serious note, I blame obi for letting Tinubu get into office . Once that man got there , he will do his 8 years and probably anoint one of his boys to continue .

I am waiting to read the comments and see the reactions of Northerners when they wake up to the news. Watch closely. The way mosques were suddenly under attack after Trump first made the threat, you will know these shapeshifters are ready to sacrifice their own to prove nonsense . Watch Kano, Kaduna closely .

PoliticsRe: Fintiri Pardons Man Sentenced To Death For ‘Killing Herdsman In Self-Defence’ by parags(m): 2:56pm On Dec 24, 2025
SIRTee15:
Thanks for bringing this up.

According to what I read, our law accomodate self defence.
The article states for self defence to be upheld, the FF criteria must be met
1. The appellant must not be the initiator of the attack.
2. The appellant must be in imminent danger
3. He has no way to escape the danger.
4. Unless he inflicts the fatal blow there's no way he can come out of it alive- there must be a necessity for taking life.

I think Jackson's case fulfilled 1 and 2. He was attacked unprovoked and was actually stabbed twice by the assailant.
Jackson was stabbed in the leg, thus his chances of escape has been compromised. How else did the judge expect him to run when he was already injured in the legs?

Fulani don't give up, this was confirmed in this case when the Fulani carried a stick when he lost his dagger during the fight. The Fulani man was still armed. The idea that the fight will end because the Fulani man lost his knife shows how naive and disconnect with the reality our elite judges has become.

Contrary to what people think, we actually have self defense law, the corrupt and ethnic bias judges just misinterpreted the case based on ethnic colouration.
The only supreme Court judge that voted for Jackson was a Yoruba man likely Christian.

Yes Nigerian law allows u to take a life in self defense. Nigerian justice system is just ethnically corrupt.
I should have said very rigid laws on self defense. The key evidence used in convicting him was his statement to the police .
However I will.not rule out anything regarding the biases and corrupt nature of our judiciary .
PoliticsRe: ICPC Flags NNPC, UNICAL, FCSC As ‘High Corruption Risk’ In Integrity Report by parags(m): 2:50pm On Dec 24, 2025
Unfortunately Tinubu is not really concerned about corruption as he himself is fantastically corrupt .

We need systems as ICPC has rightfully stated. With systems it becomes more difficult to steal . Not that it will stop totally but you must be very smart to pull off theft .

This is why Nigerians don't trust tinubu government with more money especially through taxes. These werey MDAs and parasites called parastatals will just get to steal more .

There is nothing wrong with our laws and there are contless cases all over the world where such satiations have happened.
You are basically teaching murderers how to escape being convicted after committing a murder.
Chairman , I am not . Our laws need to be expanded to accommodate self defense. It is very rigid about murder. Ask your lawyer . The Supreme Court justices hands were tied . You think it is normal for the man to be convicted at the highcourt and his sentence was upheld by the appeal and supreme courts . They interpreted the law correctly . The issue is with the law on self defense.

LeeSmart:
It was under U.S pressure, thank God to those persons who brought his case to the public..... it was funny how even the Nigerian supreme Court was an accomplice to this n*nsense.
No. Our laws need to be ammended . The Supreme Court interpreted it as it is . The young man made a mistake of putting it in his statement that he collected the knife then proceeded to stab him. The law says at that point he had the advantage and when he stabbed the guy he committed murder .

Now the lesson here is if you are ever in that situation, just say during the struggle you really don't know how the attacker got stabbed. Never admit to any decisive action because it might be used against you .

He was just emotionally blackmailing the little girl . He needs to be punished severely
CelebritiesRe: Road Safety To Prosecute Peller For Reckless Driving by parags(m): 5:09pm On Dec 15, 2025
Does he know that his life does not belong to him? It is the property of the state and he cannot commit suicide. It is like destroying the property of the state. That is why suicide is illegal.
On these grounds I propose
1. Attempted suicide- 3 years
2. Breaking traffic rules -2 years
3. Lack of sense - 5 years
All should run concurrently
