Does Seyi Tinubu actually want to become Lagos State governor or it's just Obidients with their mischiefs?

Show me a gospel song that teaches people to take accountability for their actions? Scarce

Show me a Gospel song that teaches karma and reincarnation? Scarce
They're scarce.

Everytime it's 'blood of Jesus', 'fight my battles' 'doings of the lord'

God will not help anybody to commit suicide. If you really want to commit suicide, you do it by yourself. God is not a murderer

Same way God will not help Jesus to commit suicide. If Jesus truly came to die for sins of the world, he would have committed suicide.

Jesus was killed by the 'church leaders' because he taught that you can find God without a lifeless fancy building. That's why he never built a church himself.

His teaching made the church broke so he had to be killed, hence the cover-up by church leaders saying he came to die for your sins

Same church leaders you run to every Sunday

So God will send his own son to come and die for the sins you willingly committed

Gospel songs encourage people to keep sinning and put the accountability on an innocent murdered man.

Because Jesus didn't defend himself, that means he came to die for the sins of the world.
Because #100k you didn't work for, enters your account from an unknown sender, that means it's your money and you can spend it.

Learn to take accountability for your actions. Most of what you're going through, you brought it upon yourself.

You're stingy yet you pray for destiny helpers.
You're a murderer yet you pray for long life.

God is not worthy of your praise. Ask yourself if you're even worthy to praise God

Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore has alleged that the planned national confab to be set up by the Federal Government was to compensate the son of President Bola Tinubu, Seyi and his friends.

Wait for The Supreme Court to affirm whether there is a crisis in Pdp Rivers State, and The Pdp Federal level.

If so, Fubara is a gunner, but until then we observe & wait.

Government is a continuum if the previous government was progressive. The Buhari government enabled insecurity across the country, and oil theft increased under the Buhari government. IPOB insecurity in SE started under Buharimand security in the NW, and NC increased under the Buhari government.

I am not a fan of Tinubu, and I believe he is too corrupt, but Buhari left the country in a security and financial mess.

sulaak:
Buhari government was sympathetic to terrorists. Notice that terrorism incidence has reduced in North Central Nigeria since Buhari and El-Rufa have moved on.

Buhari Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami was a known Islamist sympathizer

government is a continuum

That's why I don't like discussing on this site. Everytime, abuse and more abuse.

It is not IMF that taught me this thing, it is quite simply realites of life.

Let's say you are producing bread, at a cost of N1500 per loaf. All your profit goes into maintanace, taxes, paying staff, and expanding your business. But then, you need to upgrade your equipment...so you take a loan. Your staff need a raise, government raises taxes, and you also want to expand your business.

Would you sell bread at N1500 forever? And would you agree if government forces you to sell that bread at N500 and then pays you a subsidy of N200 to cover your losses?

Oga, that is how reality works. The subsidy we were doing cost us billions of naira, and also 4 refineries. See as the refineries are working now that subsidy don go.

Yet in your childish mind, everything must be cheap.

Oga, better recieve some sense, and realize that life is not about what we want. At the end, no one is going to do anything for free for you.

All the countries that subsidised everything so that masses would enjoy share one thing in common with Nigeria. Massive debt as a result...and in some instances collapse.

Sorry, but people like to be paid. If it makes them IMF slaves, so be it. Maybe you go open petrol station sell petrol at N10 per liter....and then maybe we go see.


And grow up, IMF slave. Everytime, you guys encounter argument that you no like...na to call them IMF slave. ALl the countries that are IMF slaves are countries like Nigeria. Subsidies for the masses=massive debt= running to IMF for more money. Yet una no see.

nairalanda1:
.

The figures are known. Anything from between 50m-70million. Since subsidy went, it is around 40 million...largely because cost of petrol
Says who? You right? besides you see that you are not even sure.
And anyway, even if it was known, the issue with subsidy was simple. Difference between cost of production and subsidised prices which could be very wide enough to eat into government budgeting. Now that subsidy is gone, where are the proceeds?

Then, 1.5 m bpd is not enough for a nation of 200 million. If we were 2 million, it would have made sense.



That was under subsidy. Nowadays....NNPC is not only declaring a profit, but the abuses under subsidy are coming to light.


Our budget is under 50 trillion naira. Our debt is higher than that. If that is not broke , what is.? All other projects what have we done with them?

Also, our revenue is not enough for 200 million people. We should be earning in the hundreds of trillions of naira, not the paltry sums we earn.
How much is our revenue?
Dutch disease.

(And don't start talking about potential riches. Child that is intelligent, yet does not study, will still fail exam).

There are only two ways to increase revenue, its either cut your expenses or make more money. But in the case of Nigeria, we strive to make more money, but we can’t account for the one we make. We are going no where bro. Waste of energy and impoverishment of the ordinary Nigerian.
So no matter how much extra Nigeria makes, if we can't account for it, then there is no need to tax people gathering the money and sharing it among the leaders. The people should be at the center of everything the government is doing. Otherwise, nothing serious is happening.




Our tax to gdp is lower than that of Niger republique. About 70% of taxpaying Nigerians do not pay taxes to the federal and state governments.

nairalanda1:
Yeah, and at the end, it costs money to pay for the impacts.

Our tax uptake...low. Has been for years.

Oil...cannot sustain 20 million , talkless of 200million

At the end of the day, na loan dem go take to make you happy.

Welcome to relaity.

IN saner climes, the kind of tax they pay, ehn...

You guys should stop hoping for cheaper prices of everything. That is not how life is.

People want to be paid for doing the work they do, and that includes people working in the oil industry. And since subsidy has gone (officially)...that means that wages will now come directly from the money you pay to put oil in your car. Also, the equipment needed to bring you the oil has to be repaired and maintained, and the shareholders...from big man to small man, have to be paid. I haven't even mentioned the banks and their loans.

So, petrol is not going to come down. Infact, because petrol is now controlled by the market regarding pricing, people are rushing to set up refineries here...which is long term good news for our economy, especially jobs and so forth.

Only way petrol can come down is if there is an increase in production , via competiton, or if Dangote finishes paying off his loans. Or if government gives dangote a huge tax break .

Subsides over the years were never enough to give us cheap fuel...which is why we were borrowing to pay them eventually. And people like GEJ saw the light in 2012, but tinubu and buhari led Nigerians to unwisely say no. Until the debt rising eventually forced their hand in 2023.

If you want subsides, you do as they do in saner climes and donate half your annule income to the government as tax. Yes, that is how they do it in saner climes. And the subsides do not even go to everyone...it goes to the poorest of the poor. Not to every tom, dick and harry.
