Like your mother?

emrain:
Son and father don chop the yeye girl. Lol, most women are really dense.

But doesn't your gender brag about this and when they do don't y'all hail them ?

Your gender brags everyday about buying one and getting one free so why the crocodile tears or is it because it's a woman doing it ?

Also @ the bolded I hope you know for that to happen like 70% of the male population would've died first ? Common sense is not common.

enirock:
And we still get married every Saturday. I can't wait for that time when 7 women go dey drag to just answer your name...

We don finally lose everything.

That is nobody's business. They've been getting handouts since 1914. If we say we're not doing again even God will understand.

I say this not because I'm from SS but because as a Nigerian in tired of this parasitic system of Government.

Since the North hate us so much they don't deserve a kobo from our purse. Enough is enough.

I don't mind sharing with Igbos and Yorubas but that North....God forbid.

thebosstrevor1:
Resource control will only benefit states with already developed resources.

States that have no money to develop their resources because of bankruptcy, will pack up.

Who told you it has no n vs s direction?

The Gombe govt that said we should be our brother's keeper and Katsina Governor that is opposing it are from where?

Have you not seen videos of a northerner politician claiming the oil in bayelsa belongs to Jigawa state?

Northerners are not supporting the bill and you know this.

thebosstrevor1:
They are supporting the bill.

The bill has no north vs south direction but you have made it like that.

The firs is fighting against it.

See, lets be logical, if lagos, rivers, kano and kaduna pass similar bill, it will only benefit them, lot of smaller states will go bankrupt no matter the geographical area.

Delta is contributes more than any northern state pls get your facts right.

thebosstrevor1:
Good for you.

The first top generating vat revenue for Nigeria, no south east states are among.

There are 2 northern state( kano and kaduna), fct 1 south south ( river) and 1 south west states( lagos)

These are where the most vat revenues comes from

So SE states has more industries than Rivers state ? Nothing I no go see for this app

proeast:
The more you talk, the more you show how empty you are upstairs. Anambra and Abia States each have more industries than Kano. It's not hearsay and I get am before no be property. Kano is no longer an industrial center like in the past. Aside Lagos/Ogun region, no other place in Nigeria is currently more Industrialized than SE. Let this VAT take effect and watch us move all our headquarters to Igboland while oil companies will relocate to the Niger Delta.

The game is about to become more interesting. Go and ask questions, Igbos thrive very well in competition and fairplay.

Modified*** So you still lived up to expectation as a coward? I challenged you to name your region since you claim to be doing better than Igbos yet fear no gree you

Hiding behind Nigeria vs. Igbos to throw shades shows how timid and cowardly you and your likes are.

You do realize that diaspora remittances comprise of all Nigerians living abroad right? Including Yorubas, Edos, and other Niger Deltans.

Who are the everyone that knows this? This chestbeating will get you guys nowhere. Instead of you to provide facts and figures from your states that are predominantly overwhelming igbo you're talking remittances which is the collective effort of ALL Nigerians in diaspora.

Have you ever travelled out of Nigeria before? Because if you have that's when you'll even know that there are more Yorubas I'm so many countries especially in Europe and UAE than igbo.

I've been to UAE and I also lived in Europe too so I'm talking from experience.

Throughout the length and breathe of UAE from Dubai to Sharjah to Ajman to Abu Dhabi even in and around Deira market you'll find more Yorubas than Igbos pls ask anyone who has ever been there.

Stop takig glory for Nigerians collective effort and present results that are exclusively yours.

Redcrafton:
I know you are very poor in economics but let me help you with just one point.


Business
Diaspora Remittances into Nigeria dropped by $13.65bn in 2020 – CBN
https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/diaspora-remittances-into-nigeria-dropped-by-13-65bn-in-2020-cbn/#:~:text=Nigeria%20recorded%20the%20lowest%20Diaspora%20remittances%20for%20the,billion%20in%202019%20to%20%245.51%20billion%20in%202020.

Everyone knows the region that has more people sending money from diaspora...

Now when this money is sent, for withdrawals to happen there has to be bank charges, stamp duties, etc...this goes to the government.

Some of this money are used to buy shares in banks and companies like Dangote sugar, cement, MTN, etc...the pay taxes on dividends to FG which are shared to you in Kano, etc...

Also, when they build or buy properties, it goes to the local economy, etc, etc....

So how come you don't know these and you claim they contribute nothing to the economy?

Oga, FCT does not generate more than Rivers state. Rivers generates a whole lot more than FCT. Pls try to get your facts updated.

proeast:
The North no doubt have been a perennial parasite on South since the 1800's. However, you're biased in your analysis above. They don't have to rely on Kano alone since Abuja is also in their domain and FCT generates more than Rivers State. So, if Lagos as a former capital will be allocated to SW, why won't Abuja be allocated to North?

Having said that, I believe that all states in Nigeria must collect VAT in their respective states and use it for themselves. However, certain sectors like seaports and interstate transportation must be exclusive to ensure fairness. You can't build seaports in two states and still allow them to pocket excise duties/tax. If that should be the case, then Abia, Imo, Anambra, Bayelsa, Edo, Ondo and any state with access to the ocean should be allowed to build and manage their ports. Also, states should be allowed to establish international airports if they want and have the capacity to do so if tax from airports like MMAI will go to Lagos State. Also, all oil companies both major and minor must have their head office in the oil producing states.

I'd rather trust a white man than a black man tho.

Juventus4life:
The greatest mistake is to fully believe and trust a white man.

Malcolm X.

So you know more than UK police that arrested him?

fuckingAyaya:
Free him abeg

Rivers state contributes more than FCT, get your stats updated.

Adblg0610:
ORTOM IS JUST A NOISE MAKER,ONLY FIVE STATES CONTRIBUTE 87% OF VAT IN NIGERIA

Lagos state-55%

FCT. -20%

Rivers. - 6%

Kano. -5%

Kaduna. -1%

Pls shut up your mumu mouth. Is it men that are not annoying? You Nigerian men never cease to show your foolish misorgyny.

If women are that annoying don't marry. Simple.

chiiraq802:
Rip to the deceased wife.

Don't drink and get drunk. He should have ordered for cooked food instead of beer or Kai-kai inside that bar or joint he went to, now because of alcohol his family is scattered and he will still serve jail terms.

I hate wife beaters, though woemen are annoying with there mouths xpecially the pregnant ones. men need to learn to avoid them...so you can equally avoid 'IF TO SAY I KNOW" syndrome.

I don't care if they go bankrupt or starve. They've been ripping us off since forever.

Swears

Mystic216:
Advantage for we that’s making money in dollars
That one concern una

Na man you be!

TMTR:
yeah right but I did it , though it wasn't easy
Sometimes though the orphanage pays us a visit to check up on her and they can testify that she is doing great.

Put her in the best school I can find in my state, the school that she attends is also being attented by children and relatives of politicians in my state of residence , trust me she is living the life of a princess

The orphanage are now the ones telling me to adopt more but I am like nah for now maybe later in the future

So no stress

Are feminists the cause of your failure in life?

Femmyfestus:
Where are the foolish nigerian feminist?

Shut up. This is fake news or didn't you see the one published yesterday?

Also what stops Kano from Makin noise?

Sirjamo:
Lagos contribute 50% but Sanwo Olu is not making noise up and down.


Rivers contribute only 6% but Wike no go let us hear word

Amen

Notice how no single person has asked what the victim was doing in the rapists house? Shey if na woman now some useless people would've been saying, "what was she doing in the suspect's house", "what was she wearing"? "There's more to the story" bl bla bla.

Maybe rape will be taken more seriously now that they're now raping men.

The chickens are now coming home to roost.

He's a SAN ?

olatade:
I like this man


His SAN cannot be question like other ones that are confusing this country.

Exactly....they're minding their business and we can see that by trying to skew the constitution in their favor to further keep stealing VAT that's not theirs.

P1PrinceKT:
An average Northerner is minding his business.

While you are busy minding his (Northerner) business.

The keyword here is "forced" incase you missed that; and that makes all the difference.

abbey621:
Yes it is always better to allow 18 to 21 year old boys impregnate her and then have her abandoned at her parent's house with the baby. Most of us just know life on the internet, we don't fully understand the life people in the North or from highly poverty areas are facing. Moral of the story, make money so that you won't have to sell your daughter to one Alhaji or Chief

Forced marriage....he was raping her so the law will definitely be lenient on her.

Firefox01:
Where this girl is unfortunate is that a 19 year old is an adult in Nigeria. We can't call this Child marriage. She will be tried with the full weight of the law. May she rot in jail.

I noticed it too

kevoh:
This is a wrong use of the phrase 'consummated'. One would expect a big media platform like Punch will have editors that can spot basic errors such as this.

Below is Google's definition of consummate:
consummate
verb
/ˈkɒns(j)əmeɪt/

make (a marriage or relationship) complete by having sexual intercourse.

Does this mean the girl had sexual intercourse with her parents? Or Punch Newspaper editors are just lazy?

You have a valid point.

seunaj:
Why arrest her? That's self defense!
B4 you come for me. Imagine for a second that you were locked together with a man man/woman for 3 weeks and that man is forcefully penetrating your virginal without condom at his beck and call. This is the best way to describe the ordeal that the innocent girl went through for 3 good weeks.

Wow, thanks for explaining... This is even more interesting than I thought.

If that's the case then I think all 19 northern reps agree I think it'll also be easy for them get 5 saboteurs from a low IGR southern state to side them.

I just hope it doesn't play out in their favour.

tnerro1:
You need 24 state house of Assembly to approve before the constitution can be changed or amended. So if the 19 northern states agree( which I doubt) you still need 6 states house of Assembly in the south to agree before the constitution can be changed.

Then they should kiss Biafra goodbye forever as it will only comprise of their 5 SE... Meaning more word for them.

APCHaram:
Watch and see how the north will bribe every Congo Judas to ascent to this demand.

Igbos will betray the ND once again out of their greed and covetous nature of ND land and resource.

I also noticed it too... How are you going to challenge someone in court when the constitution is already against you. Na wa o...

It means you've already lost even before the case started.

Some people just lack sense.

tnerro1:
So the FIRS knows that VAT is not yet on the exclusive list and yet they want to challenge WIKE in court

So are they going to write a letter to the court of appeals to wait on pronouncing a verdict on the matter so the National Assembly can add it to the exclusive list

Quota system has really destroyed this country

The Rivers State lawyer should get a copy of this letter to show the court of appeal that VAT is not on the exclusive list and it is now the FIRS are seeking for it to be added.

After this, the next battle for the south should be STATE POLICE and thankGod Osinbajo and the south west supports this STATE POLICE.

The south should relax, you see this “ ONE NIGERIA “ las las, na we go enjoy am pass

Pls kindly explain this to me.

chloride6:
Thunder fire you....

Do you have the seats...

24 of 36 house of assemblies...

So their oil money is not shared to the south east?

Mrexcell:
Bayelsa is not supposed to have the poorest igr in Nigeria if the federal government allows them to be in total control of their huge oil and gas deposits it's very unfair on them making them to look like one of these northern parasite state their oil money is shared monthly to the south west and the north so I don't understand why they should be ranked as the poorest.

Do you even know pi network is? And do you mean new users can't promote their hussle here?

You just joined nairaland September 02 and already talking about a business venture.
