They were out to discredit him,but God pass them.There are still a lot that does ministry with integrity.

People will not read before commenting and for those using men of God as click bait, may God have mercy on you.

Sanwo-Olu is the perfect picture of a core gentleman

Why destroying the building,why not put it to a better use

Why are both the beggers and the begee looking sad?

Ha I hope the hospital did not put her through the stress of vaginal delivery when CS should have been a safer option.

May her soul find rest.

May God have mercy upon them,these are people's children,brothers and Sisters

Nigerian dont read to understand, he said he wants to build a school like the one they built in Israel where there will be student exchange as is normal. He has been in Kenya and invested for the past 15years,and has not taken over Kenya

Must you people always involve the word 'Church' in your clout chasing, it is really disgusting.

His time has come.He will definitely do well

Picture not complete,where is Alexreports

You sure say Reno own no be who alleges must prove ,with all the evil he said against our president. He needs to hit the ground running.

Doris and now,Frank,make anything you want of it

Right thinking and very strategic, innovation beyond politics.

The rich using technicalities to avoid paying tax,if you know ,you know,if you dont know,ask Taiwo Oyedele

Taiwo is a good guy, the type of people you need in any working government. Taiwo as substantive minister of finance and Doris as the minister of state will be a good combination.

Knew her right from the days of CPM Umahia,she was the wife of Dr Akanwa,yes she played a role in the life of Pastor Jerry Eze in his early years ,a huge role. God never forgets such sacrifice.

Na wah,but why will he refuse to bring out money for his own's child's treatment. Some things are highly avoidable.

So the authorities were never aware of this deal till it made headlines ? A critical national security infrastructure? And you still doubt that El Rufai could tape the NSA's phone line.

Bro,you say fought OBJ? For clarity I am from Abia State,was still in Abia when he was the Governor,Abaribe was his deputy and Theo Orji was his Chief of Staff.As for fighting OBJ ,such statements should be made of people way get liver like BAT as Lagos Governor and not Sister OUK.

MrGerald:
Don't forget it's same OUK that fought OBJ to standstill? You can't buy Igbo with money.

But what he said is the truth,I keep on wondering why Orji Kalu who was the same class of Governor with BAT ,is now the one wearing the mandate cap,cloth and bata to sleep. What a shame.

Slaves who love their chain will always continue in their bondage

Good One,but no Pastor should rush and ordain her into full time ministry until she is fully discipled and matured, to avoid stories that touch along the way.

You pay implicit tax rate as a result of the failure of the government to provide the basics,if you go further on where he emphasized on the issue of African countries re -basing their the GDPs and the nature services that were brought in,juxtapose with his arguments with the implicit tax rates, you will understand that was was talking about includes what you refer as conventional tax rates.

nairalanda1:
Okay, let's break what he said down



Okay, here is where you are right..



In other words, conventional, or proper taxation, which is what I am referring to, is low.

.

“

The above is largely because we don't pay enough conventional tax, AND also, in the case of electricity, because most of us underpay and don't pay for power, so the electric companies don't have enough cash to pay for good enough power supply.

The rest is due to low conventional tax rates(only ten million nigerians overall pay conventional tax...), low revenues from oil(oil money, even if we remove corruption , has never been enough, even if we reach tinubu's promised 4million bpd..we need somehting like 20-30million bpd), massive corruption(which this government hasn't dealt with, and before you accuse me of defending corruption...and again, it makes our funding worse), and bad government. ANd decisions like ending tolling of roads...which reduced governemt income there for road funding...and so forth.

Our tax to gdp is 13%. We need it to be as high as 25% before we can talk. We also need to diversify our income sources and so forth.

This is not excusing any government, just showing even that government under tinubu is not very good at raising money,...even the tax they are doing doesn't go far enough, and is being done because oil revneues have bene chronically low for over 10 years, and IMF won't lend us more money again.

But your comment mixes up conventional tax with implicit tax. DIfferent things entirely.

Maybe you need to go and listen to Adeshina's speach before leaving office,one of the things he harped on,was that Africa pays the highest implicit tax rate in the world(85%) and need not to tax their people further ,rather improve Government efficiency.

nairalanda1:
If they appointed Adesina as president, he would do more than remove subsides on petrol, even subsidies on electiricty would go AND there would be massive cuts in the civil service and an even wider ranging tax law , more wide ranging than tinubu's own, and also cashless policy would be ruthlessly ensured. And nothing like cheap universites again...and absolute meritrocracy would be introduced...and it won't just be hausas affected by the way.

Something you should realize about Adeshina and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is that they are proper economists, not politicans. And proper economists take hard decisions most people don't like. If GEJ had followed Adeshina, NOI and SLS to the letter in 2012, by now you would be calling them wicked and evil people.

They have already rubbished it.Think of the Sup cop Kyari and what the politicians did to him, and you will understand the trajectory Taiwo is on.

Focusmind:
Chei, Taiwo fall hand, big time - He should not allow politicians to rubbish his professional career.

I believe that the insertion of that 20% deposit on disputed assessment was done on purpose. FIRS have been looking for ways to make their decisions final and conclusive in any assessment without the opportunity of the tax payer making recourse to the court for adjudication. How can you tell me or my company to deposit 20% of assessment you did on my income, first, before I begin to challenge it?

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

W B YEATS.

Chai this is so Sad, for whatever reason families shouldn't stay apart, the Nigeria they refused to stay, they will come come back to, but for a burial .

Chai, was expecting her at WAFBEC in January. I first met her as a kid, when she came to our church then with Rev Omofuma ,was inspired by her testimony as a fresh graduate with a first class in Engineering, that stuck with me as a child that you can serve God and still excel academically .Rest in peace woman of God

Right and Spot on.


Canadian music star Justin Bieber has stirred reactions online after sharing his personal thoughts on what being unfaithful really means.

During a recent conversation with friends, the “Peaches” hitmaker said that, in his view, even having an inappropriate thought about another woman could be considered cheating.

This is worth celebrating.Congratulations.

This is highly commendable of UNN to still have records even in a non digital age. The Minister should apologise and resign from his office and face prosecution for forgery and perjury.

Obviously his political career is over.
