U guys dont get it!
One, we must not pay politicians the mouth sweeting packages we pay them. We take care of politicians, ex politicians and their families.
That is wastage.
Money meant for public infrastructure is wasted and looted. That is the issue.
Africa has money but corruption is thhe issue. It is not loan or more loan or more tax. The problem is corruption. Like, we are too corrupt and we waste money on politicians. Imagine buying new cars for national assembly members every 4 years. These are super expensive cars.

U give them security vote, I mean governors, for what exactly? people who dont control any security system in their statate. That is free money.
Minister has endless aids, public infrastructures not given to the best hands. Employing citizens to govt agencies is by connection which means many competent people cant get these jobs.
Nigeria is already over taxed based on her income. So, the problem is not tax, the problem is money we made from our resources, we never invested them honestly into public venture that could generate money. Let me gve u an example.
Now, imagine govt cut down 20 percent of the packages paid to senators and house of rep members, now use that money to invest in collaboration with private seector into sporting facilities in each regional capital. Then ensure our local league is good enough and entice sponsors. With a formidable local football league, we will creat massive jobs, tourism will strive, local busineses will boom, TV righst, money will flow wella and naira will be stronger. Now, imagine formidable local football league to match SA standard to start with, imagine local basket ball league, swimming, sport racing, etc. These are stuff that will create massive jobs within very short period. Cut down 20 to 25 percent of money paid to various politicians in packages, not salary o, packages becus that is where they make money the most. Invest such money in sport for formidable local league, jobs will be water.
Imagine the jobs and opportunities WWE have created for the US and the world. Boxing, govt has a role to play in all of these via infrascture and we have the resources that generate the money but we have lots of useless heads to pay. Imagine one ex governor spending such huge on his kids education abroad.
We should ban them from sending their kids abroad, ban them from using private educations, private hospital, etc. U want to lead and be paid, use the public utilities or be a private citizen and use private utilities.
We lie to our selves thinking that much tax and much loans will fix our problem. No, our problems are structural, corruption and lack of will to fix the Nigerian state. Period

Thundafireseun:
CP has seen the light….

Only enemies of Nigeria are happy with what happened in Jos ..

May God continue to bless PBAT with people who are ready to work with him

Walahi I cried watching the video of the woman holding her dead son 😭

Maybe such happening should touch the children and families of the ruling class, so that we can see how they love Nigeria very well.
Hope u said same thing when the attacks were happening under GEJ? From the look of things, ur current president, when he was an opposition, he didnt say same, he attacked and called the president names, including failure

This man is annoying me.
He will come out and claim more money for governors but he has no corruption tackling blue print. He cant even fight these guys as he needs them for election. Una just dey borrow money, to tax me over 35 percent, right? Okay, govt vs citizens court case go plenty

MIKOLOWISKA:
why don't you set up a poultry for the unemployed in your family

Why cant the govt supply electricity and water so I can do pultry ?
That is their core duty

Seunpapa65:
He took his security very serious but left the masses to suffer Omo
Gowon will seriously crying the one Nigeria he fought for have turned around to kill his people
Let him use the same energy he used during Biafra war to fight the gunmen

I dont blame politicians o. Na N%g#rians be cowards. After Egptians did what they did to their politciains, some of them ran from back yard. These guys dont understand simplicity o. U match them with fury

Gerrard59:
I appreciate your sincerity. It's hard to come across a sincere Nigerian who explains the true situation of the country even though he's not directly affected.

Thank you bro

Na the country they want me to pay 25 percent and up to 39 percent total in tax to ? Of my personal income and sweat? Hahahahaah, very useless country, as we speak, my tyre is bad again. I spend a lot on tyres each month due to bad roads. I even pay some area boys to patch our roads with bag of sands. Very useless country.

Thundafireseun:
Egg 8,500 where

All liars will go to HELL

I bought a crate of eggs 6000 at PUKA mall Asaba , today

Those had old stocks. Wait until they get new stock baba.
And 6000 is too much for a poor country bro. This is why I said, if u are earning 30m per year in Nigeria, u are struggling as long as u have family.
Most of the bills of those around u will be upon u. U cant watch them die. I spend between 30k to 40k on eggs per month.

Na this country una want me to pay 25 percent of my income to?
Prison go full shaaa

timilehin007:
It's strange and bad to you because u dont understand how politics works. It's a dirty game Wike and Tinubu plays the game better. If you cant go this low, you have no business doing politics. Politics is not for the righteous, not for weaklings, not for saints

Is that how those who do politics abroad do it? I mean, na them introduce us to politics. So, u mean it is good to use state resources to hijack state institions? And u want me to keep paying tax to u to use to hijack state institutions ?

Lanre1st:
Tinubu is destroying democratic structure in Nigeria.
INEC can now present in wike camp convention but absent in other camp convention.

It's a pity Tinubu is my tribe, I just pray he live long to reap what he sow

That was his template in Lagos state na.. no be one party dey run Lagos since he left office?
That is who Nigerian called smart politician. Someone who takes advantage of the greediness among Nigerians and weakness in our institution. He took the Lagos templates to federal.

GanagiBitrus:
There is punishment for a WALK-OUT - Loss of match (+Sanctions), but the Referee MUST FIRST DECLARE A WALK-OUT, before such punishment is effected.

It is purely a Referee's on-field decision, &not one to be decided in a boardroom, after the match.

Sorry, the CAF article didn't say that. Such decision is left with the board that made it.

GanagiBitrus:
You speak out of ignorance. Let me help you.

The punishment for a WALK-OUT is loss of the match +Sanctions, but the Referee must 1st declare a WALK-OUT. It's a Referee's on-field decision & there are conditions for it.

Sadio Mane stayed back urging his players to return, so the Referee obviously decided that their PROTEST did not get to the point to declare a WALK-OUT.

Go and read the article law that the board referenced. There must be purnishment for this else, every country will be doing same. Football normally is full of human errors. There have been countless of them in EPL, champions league, World cup. Players should never disgrace the competition with such protest else every other country will try same. That was why the punishement was melted at them.

uzo4real:
The Senegal FA suppose sack that thier coach for ordering the players to leave the pitch...that would have cost them alot.

People dont understand walk out was bad. So, make all teams dey walk out if they feel the referee didnt officiate well.

Chummynoni:
you shouldn't have honoured that thing with a reply . They are quick to compare Nigeria with other countries when it comes to issues like this, but when it comes to standard of living of citizens , the dunces say otherwise

.
Omo, I dont know if these guys are intentionally wicked. Bro, nigeria is draining. I fix my tyres a lot due to bad road. I even pay area boys to help us patch our roads. Pls will govt refund those expenses before taking tax? I just dont understand why these people are heartless

boldmkay:
It's too cheap compare to other countries 😕

What is ur minimum wage compared to other countries?
Also, do other countries depend on fuel for generator and car and business?
I had two businesses, I shut em down because i was fueling the generators at the two stores, plus fuel for my house, plus fuel for my car. Omo, i wanted to run mad, I quit. Thunder fire this country, I dislike it with passion.

Lithiumite:
Tinubu has already done very well in stabilising the Nigerian economy,an onerous task everyone thought impossible.....ngozi okonjo iweala confirmed it herself or you dont believe her again? The disconnect is majorly your state govs,what are they doing with their allocations? The govs have to get up and doing as you have to hold them also accountable so as to compliment the efforts of the fg.

When u guys say these things, I laugh. Now, open ur mind and lets talk maturely.

Okay, u said he stabilized the economy, stabilized what exactly? I mean the economy is still in wacky state. Poverty is still very high and nothing is cheap. Everything is outside the reach of even average Nigerians. Now, did u know that earning 30m per year, u are a low income earner because u cant really live a comfortable life especially if u married as a man. U cant afford many good things of life.

Now, lets go to ur statement about holding governors accountable? So, what was the benefit of taking subsidy from the masses and give the money to governors but u dont have any strong anti corruption system to check mate them? Like make it make sense. U know a system that is extremely corrupt, super corrupt, there is no new law on anti corruption, there is no technology to check corruption among governors and their boys, the presidency, the ministers, the national and state assembly members, u have none in place to check them, but u are giving them more money.
So, that is why I am against the tax. U have not implemented a system that will enable politicians to forcefully use the money for the development of the society, but u want more Money. U have taken away subsidy, yet u still dey borrow more than anyone else, u have expanded tax and incrased tax, yet u still dey borrow more than anyone else, so, where are the whole money going? To governors u say? But why arent u fighting corruption? U are FG and controls anti graft agencies.
U didnt fix corruption but u think by miracle the society will get fixed? How?
These same governors are ur boys who ass lick u, will help u with elections and we know how they do it, so, u cant persecute them. U need them. They are ur foot soldiers. So, what exactly has this man done? I really want to know.
Is it that we now have the best electoral system in Nigeria? Or we now have a viable economy with strong middle class? Or our healthcare is now amazing? Or our public schools are now great? I am curious to know. Tell me, politicians are still living large. This was how Buhari wasted our 8 years. Buhari wasted my youths. My 20s, he wasted that country.
Nigeria is still how it has always been: no electricity, bad roads, insecurity, terrible looking state capitals, it is worse now because fuel is expensive, while politicians still live large, roads are bad, we cant drive on our high ways due to kidnappers. U cant protest, tribalism is still order of the day, governors are still looting money, budgets are still scam, so what exactly did he do right?
Tax law, they did it fast fast, national assembly just run am for him. Electoral law reach, they did 419. This is not good leadership. Good leadership, GEJ introduced Card reader for election which even helped him to lose election becus if they had done the election like they were doing before, he would have easily won using massive rigging. They out played him with the card system. We want Tinubu to initiate something that will not favour politicians. Not what will benefit politicians while suffering the masses. Tinubu has achieved nothing bro
Insecurity is still high
Health care is still wacky.
He has introduced to tax even Nigerians hustling online from outside Nigeria. That is evil! Becus those class of Nigerians have no benefit from Nigeria. They cant even take loan from Nigerian banks. Nothing! It is like working and dashing govt ur money so that their kids can live large.
Electricity is still bad
U cant protest freely
politicians are still extremely corrupt and this man actually has shown no interest in this area at all, rather, some crazy deals just dey happen anyhow.
Education sef, they don forget that one patapata.
Water, cant even happen again.
I WILL VOTE A PRESIDENT WHO WILL CUT DOWN THE BENEFITS OF THESE POLITICIANS, DIGITALIZE PUBLIC CONTRACT VIA OPEN BIDDING WHERE NIGERIANS CAN SEE AND SCRUTINIZE BIDDERS AND TRACK PUBLIC FUNDED PROJECTS ON LIVE SERVER.
I WANT TO SEE MY VAT, INCOME TAX, COMPANY TAX, BANK CHARGES, IMPORTATION TAXES, ETC USED FOR MY OWN GOOD, NOT FOR POLITICIANS TO LOOT AND USE TO IMPORT BABES FROM BRAZIL, THEN TURN AROUND AND WORSHIP THE PRESIDENT AND ASS LICK HIM AND HE WILL NOT TRY THEM.
TRY AND PERSECUTE EX PRESIDENTS, GENERALS, MINISTORS, WE WANT THEM GO TO JAIL OR EXECUTED. THEN I WILL KNOW U ARE SERIOUS. FOR NOW, NOTHING HE HAS DONE. STILL SAME OLD DIRTY GAMES AND STORIES. USELESS COUNTRY

Lithiumite:
And PDP for 16

Exactly, what u cant fix in 12 years, omo, u still cant fix it be that.

Lithiumite:
Despite your age you believe all this pretenders can change Nigeria in 3 years.

So, Buhari is not from APC? He needed how mnay years to change Nigeria?
How many years did u people wait before throwing GEJ out?
For ur information o, APC has ruled for almost 12 years now

God1000:
Politicians will just sit down somewhere in their comfort zone and be sending innocent men and women to fight in their needless wars

I want to see netanyahu's children at the war front this time

.
I think the masses need to start a movement over this.

bigpicture001:
It's about Peter Obi and the general election.. Obi's main campaign funds came from remitances from diapora Nigerians

they should use crypto and they will still run it. It is quite easy to defeat Tinubu, there are competent strategies that can defeat him. Infact, it is super easy to do so because he has performed badly. ADC just need to have bad ass strategic team. Prepare a blueprint, raise mad capital even publicly, secretly.

Safyqueen:
How will the country divide? Along which line?
What will be the fate of minority Christians in the north?
US are parasite, they will initiate the cracks/violence, settle in-between the menace/resulting chaos, kills from both sides, pretending to be working for the weak centre president for one nation while taking our mineral resources and oil in daylight robbery.
Libya saga will just be child play.

Nigeria is worse than Libya. If Nigerians cant break up like matured adults, then that is our own problem. No be US told us not to tell our selves the truth. How will they break up? Simple, ethnic line and any tribe can form country with any tribe or stand on their own. No be big deal.

jogojogo:
So the break up will stop when the country is splitter. I see how they have been able to stop the killings in US

Hahahahaa, at least Americans dont suffer like Most Nigerians. We are talking about a country with such extreme poverty, no electricity, no water, terrible bad roads, even network is wacky, guy, abeg, this useless union created by UK has failed experiment for over 100 years. It can never work.

HacheNoire:
I knew they will spring up another propaganda after the announcement of Naira for crude!

No be praganda, are Nigerians dying or not? Oga, do u know the rate average Nigerians get kidnapped, r#ped and slaughtered? Kwara is now a death sentence, which state is next?
Why una love this country like this?
omo, make una fear satan na.
Let this country break up and allow the core citizens, not politicians, decide which region they want to follow abeg.

And the foolish country called Nigeria wants to tax citizens like UK is doing, even with all her resources. But this same useless country has some of the richest politicians on earth. Like u can be stupidly rich by being a local govt chairman.
That money Nigerians worked hard abroad and send back home, u will feed a lot of people who depend on u. That is why their useless tax threshhold is a joke to me. Imagine a threshold of 800k per year as tax threshold. Is that Yoruba man who did this tax mad? Like is he mad? Threshold should be 50m per year. U earning 30m per year, u cant even live comfortable life. The problems u will be solving and that of ur family will swallow the entire money except u are ready to live low life just to pay politicians. That we accepted that tax is the biggest mistake and cowardice of this country. Like we work for politicians to ball and their families. All we do is complain online. F4cking cowards like us. These men just dey enjoy our natural resource and tax sweat. Damn!

MarketDispatch:
If you say Ghana, I will say I can verify. I witnessed lots of foreigners arriving Ghana for Tourism the last time I visited..

When you mention Nigeria, I asked a similar question earlier on when ishowspeed visited that what can a 21 year old come to see in Nigeria in terms of Tourism. That matter is still open for discussion

Tourism is giving that country serious boost. I know many who visited, returned and stayed in the country. Like I know many who did that. Nothing beats stability. We could drive in Ghana around 2Am in the night, road is free, relatively good and safe. Infact, Ghana is safer than America. Americans on tour confirmed that.

MarketDispatch:
What was the hell they saw that made them cancel Nigeria from their list. Do you wish to elaborate?

They battled with poor internet service, then battled with terrible power supply, chaotic transportation system, chaotic cities, extreme begging culture, no proper tourism sites, nothing to see for the forigners, roads are so bad. As we speak, just two years ago, that company had over 190 African americans on tour of ghana in December alone. Tour of Egypt dey gather huge numbers. The owner of the company told me, Morocco is well advanced than almost all african countries. In the west africa, he said Ghana is more stable, advanced and friendly to live in. Nigeria is the worse and they removed Nigeria from their travel list. The current data of their tour is crazy, and these tours bring in money for these countries. Ghana is hot now, the rate of forigners moving there is alarming. It is due to stability and electricity. A lot of hotels in Ghana dont have generator. Hope u know what that means? That is super trust on their power sector. Same as Morocco. They also tour Namibia, that country has some of the best roads in the world Their road network even beat roads in many European countries
Govt respect citizens a lot. If I am to raise a family, I will love to do that in Namiba, peaceful, cordinated, simple life, neat cities, amazing roads with no pot holes. Me that love to drive sport looking cars. Omo, we dey suffer for Nigeria. We are just noisy and we have no plans of fixing population that is largely uneducated.

esnbrutality:
Alot of IRAN ayatollah supporters are truly shortsighted..

Israel just gave UN a heads up. If UN keeps mute Israel will also retaliate so that the IRANIAN regime will understand.

We wont entertain the children
The women
The hospitals
Tye schools

Propaganda..

Why is it that the same people that are against IRAN are quiet when Fulani herdsmen (brothers of Ayatollah) are killing their people senselessly.

This is truly unprecedented.

But Israel already did. They killed over 150 school girls. Lol, so it is not new. It is Iran that is retaliating. For me, US should not intefere, let Israel and Iran fight it out once and for all.

MarketDispatch:
Interesting...where does Nigeria fit on the index?

I really dont know if Most Nigerians dont know that many African countries are way way ahead of us. I work with an American tour company for 5 years now as software developer, I have data of inflow of tourists into these countries and how they tried Nigeria and saw hell, cancelled Nigeria from their list. Nigeria is actuallly extremely udner developed. Forget our individual hustling spirit coupled with extreme fraud and extreme corruption, we are just noisy. These countries listed are ahead of us in quality of life. Namibia is bae baba.

lawani:
You forget as Igbos have what they indulge in, Yorubas also have and they go about the country to ply their trade. Hausas also have. Therefore the average Nigerian city will contain more Hausa and more Yoruba than Igbo. For example there is no Northern university where Yoruba do not massively outnumber Igbos. This will also be true for high schools and primary schools

Are u kidding me right now? Guy, abeg, u dey make me laugh. Bro, yorubas are less travelers in Nigeria abeg. Forget all these ur talks here.
Highest traveling ethnic groups in Nigeria: Igbos and Hausas.
And like I said, Igbos dominate in two major regions, hope u know that? South South and South east and have significant numbers in other regions. Like I said, it is mainly because of the war igbos lost, their lack of interests in voting, that is confusing u o. Those guys are major in two major regions in Nigeria o.

lawani:
In Osun here, non Yoruba are less than five percent. They are like three percent and I have met someone from Nassarawa, another from Cross River, Igala, Igede, Hausas and Igbos. There are states in Yoruba land with many Ebira because they border Kogi state. There is no way towns like Suleja, Bida and Minna will not have three times more Yoruba than Igbo. So it is a wrong claim to make that Igbos are always second highest in all states. They will be second highest in some states no doubt

I said in most of the states baba. There are countless states in Nigeria that u will rarely see yorubas sef.. So, this is not even an argument, everyone knows this. So, chill.
