Nobody knows everything
If you don't know admit it to yourself then try to learn

Don't say things you don't know when you know that you don't know
What is the point? You back yourself into a corner where you start arguing foolishly to save face.

The truth is you have no clue on the tax rules in Nigeria as it relates to oil companies
Invest one hour of your time to educate yourself and stop talking crap

I was waiting to read and learn from you. In the end, no much difference between you and him! Criticism without correction is a different level arrogance

She's smart. The fact that Peller follows her will make her gain some of Peller's fans! She has become popular for rejecting the money, and more people will follow her! If she makes posts and monetizes them, she can begin to earn on her own, in dollars!

Let's say she succeeds in making just 30 dollars in a month, that could amount to 300 dollars in 1 year! That's already more than the 500k she would get, that wouldn't last 2 weeks! Mind you, the 30 dolls can only go up; and she'll earn even more as time goes by

She's learnt to fish, not begging for fish

I think the 3rd pics is finer, and also easier to maintain. Just let each corner represent different elements - Fire, water, earth and wind. The center will be a temple.

The company moving such amount of cash is very very wrong. Why did they not go through the banking sector? Or is someone trying to launder money?

Build

Each state has to start creating conducive environments for development. Let each state be known for something.

Our leaders should create an ideology; develop your people. Stop being parasitic! If you cannot build your state and make it viable, then you don't deserve to lead your people. Quit, and let a serious person take over!

Engage capable hands, and stop using positions in Government to do giveaways. Engage the best brains, or a serious state will engage them!

Let's fear God please, you called 3million meagre that is too outrageous.

I hope you have up to 2million in your aza

He's right. ₦3,000,000 is meagre!

Shop rent in Gwarinpa=1,450,000
Furniture and Interior decor=₦800,000
Generator=₦550,000
GenPal 1.5HP AC=₦565,000... The 3m cannot even set up the office space!

Remind me again what business you wanted to do.

If he had the 3m some 3 or 4 years ago, I would understand because

Same shop rent in Gwarinpa=₦450,000
Furniture=₦300,000
Generator=₦130,000
Genpal 1.5HP Inverter AC=₦185,000
Office equipment etc could still be bought with the remaining money.

Nna na wa ooo

U don't understand
So cos kamala came for interview, equipment needs to be replaced?

I get you now. Back to the topic... How is it wrong for Kamala to pay? You guys are just bringing rhetorics and whatabouisms into the discourse. The fact that others did not charge a fee does not mean Oprah's company shouldn't. And she charged her fee. You also saw where it's the law for fees in the right amounts to be paid!

Replacement of equipment has to do with wear and tears (over time), insurance, rentals, etc. Some equipment are scheduled to be replaced in 3 years, others 5 years. Whatever the equipment is used for within these 3 or 5 years will normally contribute to this replacement fee or cost.

I don't know if you understand my point sha

olabrad:
Who owns the company? So, who owns the payment?

Why do you think that because I own the company, I also own all the money made. Have you heard of share holders? financiers? loans? Equity? Grants? Investors? What about directors? Partners?

Once again, because money is paid into your company does not mean the money is yours. You might have the right to spend it, but it doesn't mean you should do so for personal reasons.

Get it?

You are still not making any sense at all, YOU CANNOT SEPERATARATE AN INDIVIDUAL FROM HIS OR HER COMPANY.

During his testimony before Congress on April 10, 2018, Zuckerberg said it was his personal mistake that he did not do enough to prevent Facebook from being used for harm. "That goes for fake news, foreign interference in elections and hate speech"., Mark Zuckerberg appeared before Congress to defend his companies involvement, or isnt Facebook a public company comprises of staff, board of directors, executive and non executive directors and shareholders?

STOP DEFENDING WITHOUT SIMPLE LOGIC ABEG.

Toh... She was not paid. Her company was paid! And no, since you don't deduct PERSONAL INCOME TAX from company account, and the money paid is company money not her money, she was not paid. Show us the tax receipt to show she was paid!


Mark Zuckerberg bla bla bla... Are we talking about control or money? Abeg shift comot if you don't know how to reason

shantti:
Replace equipment

Thanks man, I saw it but still ignored it. I was thinking that as many different equipment will be replaced, the equipment should have an "s", just like we do when we have fishes. I'll check it out again... Thanks once again

Electorate:
She owns the company, as long as staffs are paid her company is paid and she is paid too because it is HER company...simple logic, use your brain na. If the government want to prosecute her company will they invite Bill Gates? Use your brain bro.

Is it wrong for her company to be paid? She said she was not paid! Yes, she wasn't; her company was paid!!! I run my own company. The fact that I did a service for you and tell you to just pay enough for my staff salary, does it mean it's your money I use for their salary? I was only being polite and asking you to pay just a token. At the end of the month, total income=10m; total salary paid=2.5m... amount you paid to my company (as requested by me)=1.3m (instead of 3.2m).

There's no telling what "your money" will be used for; it might never be touched. It might be used for company use... It might also be used by me. It's non of tour business

DiamondsAreFore:
Winfrey was paid $2.5 million for her production firm holding a town hall with Harris in September.

Campaign finance laws prevent businesses from providing services to campaigns at below-market rates.


...I did not take any personal fee,' she added.

'However, the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.'

I don't understand how it's wrong for Oprah to charge Kamala her real worth. The 2.5m is actually fair, as Oprah would have to pay her taxes, pay bills, replace equipments, pay herself.

Kamala too was being a good person for paying her bills and not taking advantage of whatever she and Oprah share.

DiamondsAreFore:
So Oprah Winfrey's logic is: "They didn't pay me a dime personally, but they paid my production company"
And people bought this pathetic line of reasoning hook, line and sinker?😂😂😂

The company has to be paid, and that, not below market rates. It's the law

Sometime this year, I subscribed for 1 terabyte (1024 GB) of MTN mobile data, valid for 1 year. I have 4 MTN lines both for work, personal lines, and 2 wireless mifi; I simply transfer data from my main line (where I did the subscription) to other lines. This makes it easier and convenient for me.

Unfortunately, about 6 months later, without warning or notice, MTN restricted me to just 10 data transfers in a month. If I did 3GB transfers 10 times, I'm done for the month! This is not only inconvenient, but its all shade of wrong as this was not part of the terms when I bought the data. How do they expect me to keep buying data for other lines when I already bought 1TB for the year!

I'm really angry and sad at the same time, I want to port my lines to Airtel or even 9mobile. I know Airtel also have the 1TB data package, I would like to know if subscribers can share the data. If MTN does not reverse this anti-customer policy of 10 transfers a month, I'll have no other options but to port.

Any advices that might be of help will be appreciated.

Yen yen yen. Dingbat get busy, you need to do the house chores.

Hahahahaha... I have a house, and I do my house chores. You? An animal living in the zoo? You don't even get to do anything because you're a waste of space. A thing with negative EQ and single digit IQ! Run along kid, that female needs mating. That's all you're good for... Toto mechanic. Ashawo.

davidif:
Wow! They are changing the parameters for calculating unemployment hahaha. You have to give it to this administration. They sure are creative.

The result won't change much. People are really poor. The only places that seem as though life is good are Lagos and Abuja. The remaining 35 states? They are surviving, not living!

They probably want to capture street hawkers as employed persons, forgetting that just 2 years ago, many of these poor street hawkers were working in places where they earned living wages. Now? They are just slightly better than beggers

descarado:
I have a very big house there. If you know how much landlors pay to keep that place running the way it is, you will not be saying all these.
What has the fct minister done for us except tax, tax and tax.
Before this band A stuff, all arab road were on band A more than 10yrs ago. We eve pay them to come and service the transformer. Provide waste disposal units, wike and co couldnt do, yet they tax each house every year.
No longer in Nigeria but dirts packed like that are life threatening. That's cholera in the making. Is cholera not life threatening?

Well, you do have a point about disease outbreaks. True... I agree with you.

With respect to transformers and taxes though, I think Kubwa is a satellite town under Bwari Area Council. Chairmen of Bwari Area Council have not been fair to their biggest cash cow (Kubwa) which gives them a majority of their tax income. This is the same thing with Suleja Local Government of Niger State. They tax the town and businesses to death, with the belief that if you can't cope, get out and be replaced by a more willing tool for income generation.

kingreign:
It's now proven, you're a filthy, trashy and dirty fellow. I said what I said, and I mean what I said.

Come and beat me

It's now proven that you are an hooligan,a tout, and gold standard riffraff. Now run along, nitwit!

descarado:
This is not life threatening?
If Arab road don't have waste disposal system, whose fault is it?
The community?
What has the govt ever done for them?

Even transformers,they couldn't even provide.
Mtcheew.

So hasty to type.

Maybe you think Arab road is like other areas in kubwa. Let the govt do their job as people there pay their tax and have been doing govt jobs for years.

The way you speak, it's not hard to know you live along Arab road, or at least you pass there. You will agree with me that the trash on that road is not life threatening! What is life-threatening there is the road! On both lanes of the road, between the bridge and NNPC filling station there, the road is in terrible conditions. You cannot even run to save your life there!

The trash there is bad, agreed. But life-threatening? Common!!!

kingreign:
From your post its not hard to deduce that you're a very ditty person who dwell in a very filthy environment.

From your post, it's not hard to deduce that you're a baboon living in the zoo, an animal with single digit IQ, and a negative rating EQ.

The fact that people are peace-loving does not mean you can trash-talk them as you like. Be guided!!!

younggcfr:
You call this exaggeration? Oh wow. If this isn't life threatening then I wonder how where you live is because to you... It's normal

The whole of Arab road doesn't have a proper solid waste disposal system... So this is our responsibility right?

Maybe I didn't pass my points clearly enough, sorry. I meant that you were being a bit too dramatic for calling it "life-threatening" because that place is on the top of the railway bridge, and no houses very close to there. It's an eyesore, I understand and agree with you. But saying it's life-threatening? Maybe I've lost hope in a better Nigeria.

About where I live? Truly, there is no such waste near my house or on my way home, but I've see so much of it even in Town, that I don't see it as a big deal anymore. There's one in Gwarinpa 1st Avenue near Kado Biko market; there another in 3rd Avenue village junction that has taken almost half of the road.

Truth is... If people don't have specific places to dispose of their trash, everywhere will be used for trash disposal (hence these "necessary" eyesores). It's left for the government to designate a specific waste disposal area which they will come to clear regularly.

Sorry again, if I upset you. Thanks

efemena5050:
Nigerians and understanding na problem.....ur asking wat if the new mosquito can transmit HIV....... didn't u read where they made it clear that due to the modifications their proboscis cannot and will not be able to pierce the human skin.so wats ur confusion again.....

Lol... You are dumb to think that because their proboscis can't penetrate and adult's skin, they can't penetrate a kid.

2. Also, they are living things, and will find a way to evolve and modify this proboscis to begin penetrating human and other animals' skin.

3. What evidence do you have to show that this mosquito is not an immature youngster, or a sick one? Because normally, female mosquitoes suck blood before their eggs can mature to be laid. How will they procreate if they don't feed

What is life-threatening about this? Exaggerations in the highest way possible. Simple things to do, Nigerian leaders will not do. The whole of the Arab road does not have a proper solid-waste disposal system.

It's the truck pushing waste-collection guys (predominantly young Northerners) that dispose of their wastes in this place. They don't have a place to dispose of the trash after collecting it from households and business places!

9ja4live:
There is nothing economic about mosquitos. Other flys ans insets can be us3d to replace whatever the environment benefit from mosquitos. Have you considered the cost of managing malaria in the tropics?? Angola and Singapore are malaria free due to this invention. In 2020, Nigeria registered some 21.6 million cases of malaria. Now do you know what fraction of the population that is?? According to WHO, Malaria is a major public health concern in Nigeria, with an estimated 68 million cases and 194 000 deaths due to the disease in 2021. Nigeria has the highest burden of malaria globally, accounting for nearly 27% of the global malaria burden. So if Nigeria can encourage the adoption of this technology to manage this manace, I believe it's best for us.

You sound so intelligent, without trying to address any of the points I raised

Davidcorny:
Mosquitoes generally don't support the food chain bro, to prove that point, the males are poor pollinators compared to bees(males suck nectar from flowers, not blood like the females)

A simple google search would have been of importance to this your misinformation.

Numerouno94:
Malaria is a parasitic disease that kills around 800,000 people a year, making it the second leading cause of death in the world, after tuberculosis. It's spread by mosquitoes and affects one in 10 people globally.

U prefer such killer parasite to b left alone because of fear of going into extinction and one useless ecosystem. Lol.

Very funny; you want to replace mosquito with mosquito. I only ask that the bad mosquito we know is be left alone. Because the good "non-blood-sucking" mosquitoes we don't know might metamorphose into a blood-sucking one, hence, work done equals to zero.

2. The new ones might be capable of transmitting viruses like HIV, hepatitis, etc, which the current mosquitoes cannot transmit.

By that time, the 800,000 people that die per year (who could have been treated with antimalarials) could become 10,000,000 per year, as the diseases being transmitted is more expensive to treat, or outrightly impossible to treat.

ClassicEvilSpir:
Proper innovation, yet someone is being pessimistic. How many children die of malaria each day in Africa? The white man innovates, black man go dey criticize and complain.

1. They will still need blood for procreation

2. What happens if they transmit something worse than malaria? I mean, the current mosquitoes can't transmit HIV virus. What if this new ones can transmit HIV?


NOT ALL INNOVATIONS ARE WORTH BEING INNOVATED!

This is dangerous! Mosquito larvae have their own purpose in the ecosystem. They are food to some aquatic animals, which in turn become food to even larger aquatic animals, till it gets to humans.

What happens if they transmit something worse than malaria? I mean, the current mosquitoes can't transmit HIV virus. What if this new ones can transmit HIV?

Also, this invention will cause an extinction of mosquitoes, as the offsprings don't get to adult age.

Besides, we know the current mosquitoes transmit malaria, filariasis, etc. What if this new one transmits something else that might be difficult or impossible to treat? What if they become more effective as fomites for pathogens and parasites?

What if the new ones are more easily prone to mutation? What would we do if we don't know how to fight this new threats (mosquitoes attack, new disease attack, etc) if they come?

As an Enugu man wey I be, nothing fit join me and Ebonyi ppl, especially Ezza and Afikpo people, they are ignorant and them get mind for back, them fit kpai u because of minor issue.

You're a disgrace to all the good people of Enugu, and the Igbo race. God!!! You're such a stupid boy to think all Ebonyi people, especially Ezza and Afikpo (both North and South) are ignorant. No, you're worse than stupid. Even animals won't make such a faulty generalisation. Jeez! You're an idiot
