Did Dangote not say he asked the FG to buy his investment?

bixton:
Theory is different from practicing.
Oil sector effectively decentralized, yet Dangote in one of his statements is spitting words of regrets and even looking for a way to sell off his investment.

Is he acting out on what he doesn't know or is he looking for public sympathy from gullible Nigerians?

badoh:
Even if he did not open his mouth waaaaa as you said, was there provision for subsidy after June 2023? So the mere fact that Tinubu informed Nigerians that subsidy is gone is now the offence he committed?

seunlayi:
Same people that refused to allow Jonathan remove subsidy. I started using Buhari since that time. You that was one a petroleum minister in late 70s and a former head of state that supposed to know what is happening better.

According to Wabba, Buhari’s most significant pro-poor policy was his steadfast refusal to remove the petrol subsidy, despite immense pressure from international financial institutions. “Despite intense pressure from the IMF and the World Bank, President Buhari stood his ground and refused to increase the price of refined petroleum products beyond the reach of ordinary Nigerians. He chose to stand with the people,” he said.

Brainwashing is real. Nnamdi Kanu wrecked a generation of young and impressionable Southeasterners with his Radio Biafra.

givedemwotowoto:
In your mind abi? Your only game this 2027 is disenfranchising people and using agberos with security protection. It’s an open secret. When you say “we have convinced our brothers not to vote for him”, everyone knows what you actually mean, so chill.

But Tinubu will not win reelection, that’s the important thing to know

peleson1:
No
Not true .

This is seat arrangement for pope in rome

Phoen1X:
IF the oba of lagoon Could be beaten in his domain when tinubu was beaten in Lagos,,..then who is this sheikh?.

Dalohad:
I can bet an arm and a leg that Tinubu paid that Sheikh.

If you don't know how low APC can go to propel propaganda against Obi and Igbos, then you don't know politics.

This is why I advise Obi to be open to an Atiku-Obi ticket on whatever party, let's see how well they can convince a Sheik to speak against Atiku in favour of Tinubu.

In 2027, we shall neutralise all their propaganda antics. Insha Allah..

LagosOrigin:
it means nothing .
He was well and hearty in 2023 when Peter Obi won in plateau state in the last presidential election.

Forget this man
The ADC coalition has already defeated this man's hateful intentions .

A Senior Economist at the Fiscal Affairs Department of the global body, Paulo Paz, gave the commendation on Wednesday at the opening of the IMF-supported Headquarters Mission at the Revenue House in Abuja.

Paz said the IMF recognised the “good work that FIRS has been providing to the citizens,” under its chairman, Zacch Adedeji, adding that the Bretton institution would continue to support the agency in delivering effective tax administration for the growth and development of the country.

A statement by Special Adviser on Media to the FIRS chairman, Dare Adekanmbi, said the mission of the IMF team to Nigeria was to explore areas the organisation could further support the agency in addressing the challenges that might arise, particularly with the recently signed tax laws.
According to him, the new tax laws will have a new impact on Nigeria.

“And we want to know how we can best support you with this new challenge. Our take on the four tax laws is, first, a recognition of the very good work that FIRS has been providing to the citizens.

“You have at the same time the recognition and new responsibilities with these very powerful laws, which will increase the relevance of the tax administration in Nigeria.

“I want to express our honour of being here and being a partner of FIRS. Thank you for your trust in our advice. We congratulate you on the good results so far. There is more to come, and we are here to help,” he said.

Adedeji, while welcoming the visitors, applauded the IMF for journeying with the tax body, saying that the relationship would continue when the agency transitions to the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) next year.

Adedeji, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Tayo Koleosho, specifically lauded the IMF’s collaboration with FIRS in the portfolio management and compliance programme.

“The IMF has gone on this journey with us, and I think we are in a good place to continue the journey together. We are working together in digital transformation, VAT automation, and looking at even the compliance programme and the ability to automate some of those things.

“I am interested in corporate plan and the nexus of data portfolio management so that we have our strategy being dissolved into those manageable tasks. It’s very important that those things are well
In her remark, coordinating director, Corporate Services Group, Bolaji Akintola, explained that the IMF has been a critical stakeholder in FIRS’ journey towards tax system reforms targeted at improving domestic revenue mobilisation.

She said FIRS, with the support of the IMF, conducted two systemic evaluation exercises using the Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool (TADAT) between 2018 and 2023.

“Each of these exercises was followed by a post-TADAT mission where a reform roadmap was developed to address the systemic weaknesses that were uncovered by the assessment.

“The fact that the results of the 2023 TADAT showed significant improvement on those of 2018 is indicative of the commitment of the Service towards institutional excellence.

“Let me assure you that if another TADAT is conducted today, the result will be better than that of 2023 because a good number of the weak indicators from the 2023 Performance Assessment Report have been addressed and some have been codified in the four tax reform laws recently signed by President Bola Tinubu,” she said.

“When we had issues with holding the convention, I asked my leader (Tinubu) to lead us to the convention. He turned to me and said to me, Let's go, and truly, by 8 pm, the convention started.”

Troops of 37 Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Demonstration, have arrested 3 suspected terrorists and gunrunners along Kauya – Old Afaka – Sabon Birni in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Markus Kangye, revealed this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.

Kangye said the troops made the breakthrough on Thursday following credible intelligence.

He said the suspects, identified as Yakubu Jilbril, 45, Abubakar Yahaya 45 and Isiya Sani ,30, were apprehended while driving in a black Golf 4 Car with Registration number, ABUJA YAB 385 K7.


According to him, a large cache of arms and ammunition suspected to be meant for criminals in the bush was recovered from them.

“The recovered items include quantity 9 x AK 47 rifles, 389 x 7.62mm (special) live rounds, 54 rounds of 5.56 x 45mm (NATO) ammunition, 17 magazines and four GSM handsets.

“Others are quantity one magazine carrier, one machete, some charms, one MTN WIFI modem, Suspected illicit substances, tyre cold patching materials and the sum of N365,600 only, ” he said.

Kangye said that the suspects and the recovered items were in custody for further investigations.


He said the swift action of the troops dealt a significant blow to the activities of the suspected terrorists, armed robbers, and bandits in the area.

“The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa has commended the troops for their proactive response and reassured the public of ongoing security operations with heightened vigilance.

“This resolute action sends a clear message to all criminal elements that the Nigerian Armed Forces are resolute in their mission to ensure the safety and security of the populace.

“The recovered arms and ammunition serve as tangible evidence of the military’s dedication to eradicating threats to national security,” he added.

KosiGee:
Obi’s loyalty is with Nigeria and one Nigeria.

He’s wants Nigeria to cut coat according to our clothing.

socialmediaman:
Abure is very self centered.

Celestialsword:
Wike has shifted his focus to labour party,since he had succeed in destroying PDP

Kastonkastroll:
bro forget i know about all this crowd buying stuffs and all that. Politicians do that everytime. Even Natasha just bought crowd some months ago.

But what am saying is that we can't ignore the fact that aregbesola till have supporters in the west especially those alfas. Even in the pictures, you can clearly see many of those alfas in the crowd. I know what am saying.

But his supporters won't even reach quarter of Tinubu's supporters in the west.

socialmediaman:
Show us 1 or 2 photos make take hold body, as per say you’re not crying seeing this crowd

Burob:
same penguin2 that swore he will runaway from nairaland if Tinubu won the presidential election?

Penguin2:
If you like, you can play the ostrich and bury your head in the sand and pretend not to see the crowd. But that will never change reality.

Your perception has nothing to do with reality on ground; which is that Aregbesola is still popular and would be the greatest antidote to whatever joker Tinubu is trying to throw in the Southwest in 2027.

With Aregbesola, Lagos votes will be protected. Thug for thug, war for war. Same across all Southwest states.

You will not have a repeat of 2023 where Obi got over 900k votes but was later cut down 540k votes because there were not enough men on ground to protect the votes.

It’s ite missa est for Tinubu.
