No, you guys should maintain multiple taxation with lack of power supply, Instead of you to reach out to Abia state to teach you how they achieve 24/7 power supply , your priority is to tax our capital in the bank, tax every transaction, tax our goods on the bad roads , we keep fooling ourselves, which money are the commercial drivers paying on the road within our cities called security money? Why do we need to pay when we take a matter to police station? Everything is already privatized, we run our own generator, our own water, you are not qualified to collect tax

Exactly what I keep saying. I don't know why these guys are this heartless because e no go funny when they start misbhaving. The only thing I benefited from govt was susidy and now it is gone.
But govt doesnt understand that if I made 20m as a hustler last year with no income tax, i had other type of taxes to pay too which cut short of that money. Let say from that 20m, I spent about 6m to power my family house electricity via generator fueling, repairing, NEPA bill, etc. Now, govt takes about 4m from me as income tax, aside the other taxes they collected from me, I am left with 16m, but the 6m I spent on electricity must still be met? from where will i now add up the money in the 16m left to power electricity for my family home? It simply means the govt has reduced my quality of life. It simply means if i was able to supply to my self up to 20 hours of self generated electricity daily, I wont be able to do that anymore, I will have to either reduce it to maybe 3 hours daily or multiply my hustle to earn more which will mean paying more income tax.
We are not talking about the fact we need to drink bottle water. it cost me roughly 25k per month and times I have more people in, I spend more. Govt has taken income tax but didnt supply water, so where will I see the money to spend on bottle water? It means I may resort to satchet water. Govt further reduced my quality of life. I can go on and on. To Tinubu, anyone earning 40m per year is rich. But honestly, u are not. U are just a bit comfortable. By the time he takes about 9m from it as income tax, u are left with 30m. That means most of the stuff u were able to do when u earned 40m per year, u cant do them.
Remember, u have healthcare to care for, for ur kids, ur parents, ur spouse, Nigeria is poor, so for every man who earns 40m yearly, there are list of dependants who could have been cared for by the govt but no, they arent. Nigerians are facing mad housing crises as we speak. Govt has no plan. Those in informal sector will rarely get any benefit of anytype. No matter how much u earn, no one will learn u a kobo. Damn, Nigeria was designed to make u poor till u die.

I don't believe this, it's the same supremacy spirit that you accused America of that has consumed them, if not why is Putin running away from peace negotiation table

I think u need to study this very well. Let me give u a bit details:
So, US via CIA caused unrest in Ukrain and removed their president and put this current president now who does only what the west wants him to do. The west was mainly the US.
So, the Russian speaking part of Ukrain started getting targetted, killed, their language removed from school system, culture banished, etc. They started asking for help from Russia. At the same time, the Ukrainean president was making efforts to join NATO which means the US can station her base and weapon extremely close to Russia. This is why Iran is attacking gulf countries now. The Ameican bases there in the gulf region are used to fight Iran. It is easier if ur enemy is behind u and see and can send spies to really understand u. One of American's longest aim has been to cripple russia into smaller country via uprising among Russians. Infact, that was the main Aim of the war. US cant afford to fight russia directly, so provoke them into war, then place economic sanction on them and the citizens will protest and Russia will dismantle. If Putin wasnt really this strong eh, Russia would have collapsed since the start of the war.
So, the idea is weaken Russia, weakn China, while the US remains strong. Unfortunately, not working. US is extremely brutal o.

Thomthom:
Honestly I don't understand our president on this Kidnapping issue

una funny o, Tinubu just want to be president before he dies. that is the highest honour for anyone. All these ones una dey talk, no be his own. If he truly cares about nigeria, he would have pressured for electoral reform the way he pushed for tax reform

Guestmale:
The same thing you're accusing America of was what push Russia to an unending war against Ukraine they thought it will be over in a couple of days or weeks.

Russia war was complete setup by the US. Some of u really dont know how the US works. They are trying to do same thing with China and Taiwon. Lol, US is very brutal competitor. It strives to ensure those who can compete with her are branded devil, spoilt and economically destroyed, when they cant achieve that, they try to setup chaos in ur country, if they doesnt work, they setup a proxy war.

This is how bloody the US is. They didnt know how China did it and it shocked them. The same reason they engineered a war so Russia will keep fighting and never rise. Russia was becoming economically important in EU and was ready to battle and protect EU, the US saw it, they feared and used their weapon which are media, dollar and CIA to engineer a war. They hate to see other countries rise. This is the main problem they have with Iran o. Their jst want to be the only country bossing everyone around, developing weapons that others buy. Imagine the US attack u for buying weapons from China or RUssia, they presure countries to buy only AMerican weapons. That country is deadly and wicked and it is very unfair to the world. Bravo to countries that have stood agaisnt this bully.

aswani:
It should be ROTIFN which stands for "Rest Obidients, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria".

Whether or not he should be on the ballot to be fixing anything, having being a member of a useless political class, including Atiku and Peter "cho cho cho" Obi, is neither here nor there.

Fix what exactly? military bases and men getting slaugtered, Nigerians sleeping in massive heat and darkness, unpresented in the history of Nigeria, extreme hunger, massive corruption, dead healthcare system, massive insecurity that people are being kidnapped from their homes, like brooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, wtf is wrong with some of ya?

Mindlog:
Overwhelming majority of Nigerians are struggling.

And funny enough, this man get mind dey increase tax bracket, them swear for this man? Like these guys dont understand the struggles of every day Nigerians.

iluvdonjazzy:
hmmm this time around I will not blame them but they should maintain decorum and be very peaceful as much as possible

U are telling someone who lost his only child to kidnappers, someone whose wife was raped to death, to be peaceful? hahahaahahahahahaha, Nigerians o. They don kpai ur only child before? or have they r#ped ur woman in ur front before? If u havent experienced any of these, they tell them to be peaceful

Kemetian:
Low IQ is the reason.

Same way they compare Nigeria to UAE and 'Dubai'.

Never mind that UAE has just 10 million people, with 4 times more oil and gas than Nigeria.

In their simple heads, ''we both produce oil'', therefore we should ''be like them''.

okay, compare with USA, Egypt, Indonesia, etc.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Injured only two civilians. What a joke of a target. This is not equal partners in war but a wounded animal (Iran) trying to escape to lick her wounds.

Iran is not a super power and never claimed to be. Israel is fighting along with the strongest military on earth. Iran has been on saction for decades. Make Israel stay for sanction for two years let me see if they will even manufacture weapon. I give it to Iran, they are not small, they are fighting and welldone.

Lastpharoah33:
I'm aware of what you're saying brother. If those earning way above 500k in this dispensation are lamenting, what's going to be the fate of those of us earning slightly above the new minimum wage?

I'm more interested on procreating with reckless badon even in the face of this harsh economic situation, we should be intentional in bringing innocent souls into this mess.

My take.

Omo, u are right, I know how much I make per month o and yearly, yet it is like I am suffocating. No quality of life. I earned 30m last year, but bro, to live a quality life here is super expensive. Now, imagine to get 24/7 electricity in nigeria to run ur business is super luxury. I had three busineses as at last year, i was burning fuel on them all, at some points, the cost became too much, aside burning fuel for my house, omo, i shut down the busineses and those working had to leave too.
Nigeria is a mess. It is worse than a mess. Worse part, politicians enjoy 24/7 electricity without sweating. My pain is this man came for taxing us from the money that is not enough to live quality life, u want to take out of it. WTF is wrong u

Lastpharoah33:
Creating 5 consecutive threads about the epileptic power supply in Nigeria, dude you just flew into the country?

Stroll into the politics section and you will be shocked to the marrows. As long as their tribesman is up there, the rest should burn.

We enjoy 8hrs electricity here in onitsha though, put pay through our nose.

The country keeps getting worse, it is worse now, and worse part, this regime is eyeing up 25 percent of my personal income and over 35 percent of income in total. haaaaaaaaaaa

Elusive001:
Really? So when iran was sponsoring terrorists, hamas, Hezbollah, houthis, Islamic jihad, etc against israel, dem no know say israel na American ally?

Shebi dem sponsoring assassination against Trump on American soil.

When dem dey chant death to America, death to Israel, they were drunk.

UAE done bomb desalination facility in Iran.

Dey play.

USA sponsors terrorist groups too even in Nigeria, Africa and middle east

proxillin:
BBC and CNN is pro IRGC. CNN even went to Iran and claim their is no war in Iran. Iran is stable.

You lot were celebrating it.

Nobody is controlling BBC. BBC hate trump. If Iran is winning, BBC or CNN would have used it against trump.


I understand, you wish Iran win, Iran stand no chance. Yes, they can throw few punches. Even Hamas hurt Israel more.

Iran has not even hurt Israel like Hamas..shame....talk of underperforming...

loosers

Are u people not ashamed of una selves? Like how can two super powers who claim to be super powers go to war against one country that has been under saction for decades? Omo, I still dont understand. Why cant the US do it alone or Israel do it alone?
As we speak, over 15 countries are involved trying to intercept Iranian missles and drones agaisnt Israel and US. omo, i no rate all these countries. There is something they know about iran that we dont know. Omo, Israel for just go do am alone, no need for intelligence or help from US. US for do am alone.

yinkus6750:
[Everyone knows what is going on inside Iran. Been neighbors doesn't mean they must support terrorism.
And that's why they joined forces with others to fight a perceived international enemy.
If they don't do that, one day, they might likely be attacked by same Iran you want them to protect

quote author=Princedapace post=138696411]
US bases are there and use for gathering intelligence. Stop habouring US bases. Nations should stop it. US will never fight any country that has missles that can reach US home cities. It was major reason Trump attacked Iran.

U guys are funny.
So, u dont know that the US fund terrorist groups? They did that in Syria, they are doing that across Africa. CIA is well known to fund terrorist groups. US is everything she accuses others of doing aside the fact they have media reach to change narratives. CIA is globally known for what they do to others.
Iran is not global enemy, Iran is just US enemy and enemy of US puppets leaders like u have in gulf regions. The US doesnt lament about democracy in Saudi becus that is US puppet leadership, immediately a person who doesnt like the US becomes Saudi leader today, the US will start the campaign that Saudi is a terrorist country. It is funny u still dont know the US. The US hates countries wth great ambision to build weapons that can reach and challenge the US. This is why the US hates Russia today, China too. What has China done to the US? But the US sits in her national assembly to discuss China rising threat. Hahahahaha, which threat? Has China done anything? Just that China is growing her military and that is it. The US love to be in control, determine who rules other countries and u must not pursue military ambision. The EU countries have seen this now and France, UK, are all pursuing military ambision

Ninaffivadit:
can you call your state distribution electricity to fix the power supply of your area

You might be under 11kv that's why you're experiencing power outage in your area

Bro, Nigerian states are struggling as we speak, from warri to PH, to Enugu, to delta, as we speak, Abraka rarely have light
This one is not about calling state electricity, Nigeria generates less than 5kw of electricity for over 200m people, e no fit reach babaa.
My friend in Anambra is lamenting, she did video call with me three days ago and showed me the list of power banks, rechargable devices she was going to office with so she can use her office power which is mostly big lister
People in Abuja are lamenting. So, this is not about state, national grid is useless

muyico:
Not all Nigerians
Average Nigerians

I said most Nigerians becus average Nigerians are most. And if in your country, the average suffer these things, then that society and country has failed completely. The average powers the society.

Ninaffivadit:
About the electricity you're lying even me on band c is enjoying 24hrs electricity

Tho I'm under 33kv feeder

Is anything wrong with u? I am lying? How? Most Nigerians are lamenting about electricity. That ur area has 24/hours is what all nigerians should enjoy. I live in a state capital, a major hub sef, we have not seen electricity for one week, not even a flash. Most weeks, we may get 3 hours per week.

Can someone explain to me if Nigeria is truly cursed? Like, I am honestly asking.
As we speak, over one week, my estate has no electricity from Nigeria. I have friends lamenting from different parts of the country. Now, internet service is bloody even in major cities, like state capitals.
So, u buy expensive fuel, u on generator, u will waste about 5 hours on work productivity due to poor network and your fuel will burn and waste.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This country is the hardest thing on earth!
Worse part of it, our politicians are families are pampered and well taken care of. Pls, can someone tag Taiwo, the tax man for me? I honestly wish to have heart to heart conversation with this man.
Like I want to honestly ask this man how he wants Nigerians to really cope? Like, I mean those earning even 25m and above per year are honestly struggling. U struggle with electricity, u struggle with internent. U struggle with high rent, u will struggle with expensive car maintainance, u will cope with bloody health care system. U will cope with chaotic city, terrible roads, buy bottle water, spend a lot of generator maintaince as u use gen to pump water, and this man, get mind recommend up to 25 percent on personal income as tax.
Pls, does anyone know this man? I really wish to discuss with him, like off camera. I want him to explain to me what he was thinking doing this. Sir, u are wicked, u have killed Nigerians the more.
I am damn frustrated. In two days, I have spent 30k on fuel, data wasted, fuel wasted, work productivity reduced.
Do I get quality of life from Nigeria to warrant up to 25 percent of my income to this country? Are we mad? Who did this to us? why do we accept everything?
I wish to sit down with a politician and talk heart to heart, I want to know what runs inside their mind, how can creatures be this weicked and heartless? Like come on, u shouldnt be this heartless. U could have introduced 5 percent income tax for now, Nigerians are doing a lot on their own. When u start providing these services that help citizens, u can increase the percentage between 10 to 15.
The money spent on politicians and their families including ex politicians are too much, plssssssssssssssssssssssss. I am tired
I wnt to buy starlink mini, but this country is wicked, Nigeria was designed to ensure u dont rise. Like after all these, u still take 25 percent of my sweat? Why?

yinkus6750:
Why must Iran now focus it's attack on fellow Islamic nations ?
Destroying Dubai has no effect on USA.
Trump will ensure he achieved his purpose on Iran.
UAE has been a peaceful tourist nation. It's destruction,tho will indirectly affect so many other countries. But that won't save Iran from been cleared of its terrorist activities.

US bases are there and use for gathering intelligence. Stop habouring US bases. Nations should stop it. US will never fight any country that has missles that can reach US home cities. It was major reason Trump attacked Iran.

floss:
The truth remains that until the elites tell themselves the truth, this war isn’t ending soon…Iran needs to accept peace if not the war will start looking like Ukraine war…. The funny thing is that Iran will continue taking the hit… no shot has been fired towards US soil yet while Iran is gradually looking like Ukraine…


Who pass you pass you… just accept peace and move on…. It’s a lesson to those that see Russia and china as allies

I have serious problem with most of u here. Were u expecting Russia to send military or give Iran weapons that can hit US? No, US didnt do that, so RUssia and China will be stupid to do so. They can suply intelligence and small light weapons.

Chepos1:
They want to use this one to console themselves now.
Is this up to 1/10 of what that have lost in this fight?
Propaganda doesn't work in situations like this.

But funny enough, Iran is not a super power, under economic sanctions for decades. Iran is fighting two super powers at the same time. Is that not a shame ? Like one can't fight Iran ? Why two ? And yet Iran is hitting them back to back ? Not many countries can survive this. Infact, more than 8 countries are involved in helping Israel intercept Iranian missiles. That means only Israel intercepting the missile will end Israel. Abeg, Iran no small abeg

Mattswaggz:
Well this shows that US and Israel are very much in charge as opposed to what a lot of people think.

Common sense should tell Iran and her praise singers that you can be regarded as a super power in modern society if your airspace can easily be taken over and controlled.

Hope u said same to Ukrain to give up and quit?

fineboynl:
Some defensive weapons were developed for Ukraine to stop the Shahid drones, and they were very effective. At least they can use it to match Iran's Shahid drones cost.

Ukraine tried their best to put up a solid fight with Russia. Half and a quarter of Russian soldiers are dead or have fled the country.No young Russian wants to do anything with the country's military because the pay is so low.The only thing keeping Putin still standing is the nuclear weapons.

Dey play.. half of Russian military is down? And Ukrain never take over any land in Russia, not to talk of taking back the over 30 percent lands Russia has taken away from Ukrain? Are u people normal at all? Like, at least, ukrain should take back their occupied lands. For a weakened and useless Russia, Ukrain should have taken back their lands from Russia.

hegelian:
i dont understand.. in a war every side get hit but the main shit is who get hit most and by what magnitude as well as who is able to recover and enjoy the spoil of war..that iran is hitting some target is very much expected, every war enthusiast no it aint a tea party but the cost to iran and its mullah is grave compare to the us and isreal..it not only lost the entire middleeast countries but will lose its government and power while the bases will be rebuilt in no time the mullahs will never recover...i just dont understand the purpose of the buffonry

make una stop this rubbish. I want only Israel to fight Iran alone. Dont let anyone intercept Iran missles, intercept them ur self, let no one give u intelligence, gather them ur self, do the war ur self, then I can truly respect Israel. This is why Israel is always dragging the US to fight war with her. The US on the other side is trying to pull other countries to fight along, just to fight a country u guys placed on sanction for decades? Makes no sense to me. One of u should be powerful enough to wipe out Iran. The fact Iran has fought back and achieved all of these is a strong indication that they are really strong, I mean, superb strong. There are more than 5 countries involved in trying to intercept Iranian missles for Israel, haa, why? Israel should do that alone or America should do that alone.

Mattswaggz:
I said it....the US and Israel already knew Iran will put up a good fight and it won't be a walk over but they're ready to see it through till the end.....and once Iran is crippled they'll never let it get this strong again.

But why two countries dey fight one country? I mean, just one of them should just face Iran. No need for intelligence gatering from another, no need to call others to help u intercepts missles. Just u and Iran one on one, let see who go Win.

Where are those people here who used to disturb us about just one particular road project that Tinubu has done? Where are those who always tell us about how IMF said Nigeria is performing well? Come and liberate this footballer, shameless entities/

Lanretoye:
where is nethanyahu and where is khemenei?,brains have purpose and you have to activate it,how can you fight war with 0 casualty.

It is a shame that the Israel will always need the US to fight Iran. Nah, that is bullshit. That is not impressive. Iran is under sanction for decades and still this strong. This should tell u more about them if they were never santioned them. Israel can never ever fight Iran alone, they will see hell. They always will rely on UK, USA, France to help them intercept Iran missles. US and Israel declared war on a single poor country. And US and Israel are still collecting these leevl of damanges? Guy, be honest, Iran get levels.

IF OUR RESERVE GROWING FROM A DIFFERENTIAL OF JUST $3B IN 2023 TO OVER $50B TODAY WHILE CRUDE OIL WAS SOLD AT AS LOW AS $60/BARREL, DOESN'T TELL U THAT SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS HAPPENING, DEN UR CASE IS HOPELESS

Oga, is there electricity or not? Nigerians want stuff that affects them and not papper barking. We want stable electricity, water in our homes, travel as we wish without fear of kidnappers. I want to test run my beasty sporty ride on a decent high way with my friends without fear of getting kidnapped. We want to be able to earn well and have high purchasing power. Some of u still dont understand that the core Nigeria's problems una never still fix am. 8 years will still come and go and Nigeria will still be same. That ws how Buhari media team always painted a picture of a working president, he just wasted 8 years: we still no get light, water, healthcare is bad, roads are wacky, insecurity is crazy, economy biting harder, houses prices so high, the list goes on.

demstone:
WAKEUP.. NIGERIA'S RESERVE WAS OVER $50B IN 2013, D MOMENT CRUDE OIL CRASHED BELOW $100 IN 2014 OUR RESERE CRASHED TO $28B BY MAY 28 2015... UR GEJ CLDN'T RUN D COUNTRY WITH $80/BARREL WITHOUT EMPTYING D RESERVE.. DAT WAS D BEGINING OF D END

And i still no get light, no get good roads, no get security, no get water in our homes, hardship is still there. So, stop this propaganda and work. No be statistic dey work for nigeria becus nigeria actually has no data, that is why statics doesnt work.
Nigerians will feel governance when we turn our tap and see water, we can travel at peace without kidnappers, we can see stable electricity, corruption is down, nepotism is down, elections are free and fair, we can afford to buy brand new cars like our SA brothers, we can build houses easier, etc. Aside that, pls stop these mumu statics, they never ever workd. I just need light, i dont want to be hearing sound of generators.

Sorry and Nigeria does not have competent healthcare, and it cost a lot. So, pray and fast that u are sound else, Nigeria has happened to many. Just pray. Try and go to hospital shaa.
