Let me tell you guys, both of you supporting Obi or Atiku or whatever, non of them is capable of removing you from your misfortune or doing anything different from what is happening in Nigeria today.


If you want to vote for anyone just because you want him to become president and make a history that your kinsman has became a president that's your personal achievement not the masses.

I am not supporting Tinubu either, my believe is that no politician today is worth wasting time for, as most of them lack integrity and accountability.

If you think what I am saying is wrong, you can save this date, Sun April 26th, 2026 and come back after your most trusted politician assume office and tell us how he makes you feel.

Besides that, my candid advice is don't vote for anybody until he clearly tells you what he is willing to do for you after he assumes office.

Don't vote blindly, don't vote because he is your tribesman, don't vote because he shares religion with you, don't vote because of rice 🍚🍚🍚 if you don't listen 👂to this advice you will surely come back later crying!!!

You are ron point!.. RENAISSANCE

Peace Returns to Orsu Community, as Military Reclaims Key Commercial Hub

After six years of violent unrest and economic disruption, the Orsu community in Imo State, South-East Nigeria, is witnessing a major security breakthrough. A recent military operation has successfully reclaimed about 80% of the area, including the once thriving REE Market, previously one of the region’s largest commercial centers.

Another bad policy after the over hyped travel tour...

This policy is not about the deportation of illegal Nigerian migrants... rather the depopulation of United Kingdom prisons from notorious foreigners...

Rwanda a fellow African country rejected the dumping of notorious deportees into their country... then Nigeria is smiling to accept such... This won't work...

Although democracy has more present global acceptance, it also have it challenges. Amongst which is the fact that it is very expensive, and requires many hands on deck to install.

Nigeria operating a democratic government system have not been spared of corruption and violent crises. And the need of like-minds joining force and resources, to selflessly restore our destiny is now.

For those who have sighed, prayed, complained, protested, and hid themselves, due to these men-inflicted vices that ravage the country: it is time to unite and regain our destiny

Our common goal is to unite and decide to redirect Nigeria towards a positive pathway. This we will achieve through the forthcoming Nigeria Presidential election which will hold in year 2026 or 2027.

By GOD's grace, I will be contesting for the office of President of Nigeria. Therefore, I need immediate support from willing Nigerians in the following areas:

1. Become a Canvasser, by informing and gathering support from those around you. (This task can be combined with your usual daily tasks)
2. Become a Representative, by actively promoting RENAISSANCE within your community.
3. Become a Financial Partner: by contributing funds to support RENAISSANCE activities
4. Become a Follower: by being present in RENAISSANCE activities held within your community.

lawani:
I believe most Nigerians support the base. It should be a full fledged base. Enough of the stupidity. What are your grievances against a permanent US base in Nigeria? Why do you oppose it?

I understand that most Nigeria think having a foreign nation military base in Nigeria is good .. But actually i view matters as though I am the President of Nigeria (which I will be)... so what may seem good to solve an emergency may lead to subsequent harm to the nation...

Pls here are some valid points to reason...

1. The insurgency in Nigeria can be easily conquered by the Nigerian Military... but victory has lingered because some persons in power sponsor these militias... because of devilish intentions... These terrorists sponsors have not been taken down because of selfish ambitions to swindle elections results... so thousands of lives of civilians and security personnel have been cut short because of these wicked intentions...

2. Foreign nations are eager to have a base in Nigeria... so as to extend influence to other African nations... But this will boomerang... Here are implications of these nations military presence:..
A. USA will use such to fight our neighbor nations at their own will... while at our detriment...
B. France always eager to control African resources... will use such to sponsor militia groups ... while secretly stealing the resources...
C. UK will secretly benefit from all sides... while publicly denouncing the violence ...
D. China will use their loan funded roads projects... Coastal road, Badagary-Sokoto road... to enhance their economic target by evading our custom checks... using their One road - One belt program to impose their military...
E. Turkey will use such to impose islam-by-force....

3. Remember that Nigeria also has such influence in Africa... this has resulted to single handed interventions in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cote D'Ivoire, Benin... So to maintain global peace... dogs don't eat dogs... lions do not eat lions...

The above points are some reasons I can share...

But to immediately solve this insurgency in the northern part of Nigeria... Let these actions be taken...
1. Immediately block the northern borders of Nigeria...
2. Terrorists and their sponsors should be taken down... no need for arrest... except when needed for intelligence gathering... so that we do not have issues of repentant terrorists...
3. No interventions from sabotaging "ogas at the top"... halting military interventions...
4. Foreign nations can help by seizing funds and assets of terrorists sponsors and corrupt officials... and jail them whenever they visit...
5. Soldiers deployed to battle zones should be paid allowance commensurate to what they earn while under international peace keeping missions... this will boost their morale... RENAISSANCE

Is Nigeria still a sovereign Nation having US military base in the North East ?

We know the consequences that comes with having a military base

What is happening ?

Nlfpmod

It is good when a country shows genuine concern towards other friendly country... such is the case of USA towards the mass killings in Nigeria... But as I earlier stated... there is no need of USA physical presence through their military in Nigeria... it may escalate the violence...

If US military support is required by the Nigerian government... and the use of drones is vital... the US military can use their aircrafts carrier ships... with permission to be at a very far distance from Nigeria shore... this can be coordinated by the Nigerian Navy...

Let's not start what we can not continue... behind US military request... China, France, Russia, Britain, Turkey... would follow suit to demand similar offer using different disguise...

What Nigeria needs from friendly nations... is to seize wealth stolen by corrupt officials domiciled in their country... and jail these corrupt officials whenever they visit their country....

Therefore... there is no need of any foreign country ground base station in Nigeria... RENAISSANCE

The NAF is 10yrs behind the Nigerian Navy & Army. The Navy has Falcon eye, Maritime Domain Awareness, Deep Blue, etc. The NAF doesn't even have radar coverage for all its air-bases, talk more of the whole Nigerian airspace.

Here is a proposed 10yr strategic modernization plan for the NAF. Aircrafts for consideration.

A) Chinese J15 or J16 Air superiority fighter - 3 squadrons ( 2 squadrons in storage, with regular upgrades)

B) Chinese AWACS (×2) (1 in storage, with upgrades)

C) US C-17 cargo plane (×2) [ the old C-130s should be fully upgraded and put in storage]

D) Chengdu J-7/F-7N1 ( Local production in Nigeria) Full technology transfer bought off.

E) AIR Corps for radar and missiles.

F) AIR Corps for aircraft software & systems.

F) NAF - DICON (local production of rockets and, air to air missiles)

NAF generals, over to you.

It's a good proposal... But the main reason that had enabled the Nigerian Army and Nigerian Navy to quickly update equipment is... we now locally produce items used by these units...

Plain and armored vehicles are locally produced here in Nigeria... both by branded companies such as Innoson, Proforce... and emerging organisations fabricating marine vessels of various capacities... These products are more rugged and fits our terrain...

The Nigerian Airforce should on a similar note... identify and engage with local investors, companies, and engineers... who have developed innovative solutions to total radar coverage, aircrafts fabrication...

These are some inputs that will be introduced when I become the President of Nigeria... RENAISSANCE

It is good to note that... since the past 20 days... the present high morale amongst Nigerian soldiers have led to a considerable advancement and recovery of territories within Nigeria... Some excited soldiers called Sambisa "a farm and not a forest"...

This shows that the war against the terrorists had lasted this long because of some sabotage by wicked top government officials... issuing counter orders to the soldiers... that they should not confront these insurgents...

Therefore the standing orders to take down both terrorists and their sponsors by our gallant soldiers should be maintained and not altered...

May the good LORD protect Nigeria and our soldiers in JESUS name...

With this momemtum... I expect that all territories previously captured by terrorists should be recovered before the end of February 2026... RENAISSANCE

The Anambra State government has ordered traders in twelve additional markets to operate normally on Mondays, warning that failure to comply could lead to temporary market closures.

The move comes after the state shut down Onitsha Main Market for one week following traders’ refusal to open on Mondays, which the government said disrupted business activities.

The markets now required to open include Ochanja Central Market, Bridgehead Market, Ogbaru Main Market, Building Materials Market Ogidi, Agba-Edo Auto Spare Parts Market Nnewi, New Auto and Motorcycle Spare Parts Market Nnewi, Fairly Used Motorcycle Spare Parts Market Nnewi, New Auto Spare Parts Market Nkpor, Nkpor Main Market, Old Mercedes Benz Spare Parts Dealers Market Nkpor, Old Motor Spare Parts Market Obosi, and Electrical Dealers International Market, Obosi.

A circular titled “Abolishment of Monday Sit-at-Home,” signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Trade and Markets, Chief Evarist Uba, instructed market leaders to inform traders to resume full business on Mondays as directed by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.

The government will carry out random inspections, and markets that fail to follow the order may be closed for up to one month.

Shops that remain closed risk being sealed, and owners may face legal consequences.

Governor Soludo has scheduled a meeting with market leaders for Thursday, January 29, at the International Convention Centre in Awka to discuss market operations and the Monday sit-at-home order.

Chairmen, secretaries, zonal leaders, and line chairpersons from markets across the state are expected to attend.

The government said the meeting was requested by some market leaders seeking the reopening of Onitsha Main Market, not as a reaction to traders’ protest earlier this week.

Security will be increased during the meeting to ensure it runs without disruption.

https://mcebiscoo.com/full-list-soludo-bans-sit-at-home-in-12-more-anambra-markets/

Actually i do not agree with Nnamdi Kanu idealogies... and do not support sit-at-home practices whether on Mondays or any other day...

But my interactions with fellows from Anambra shows that apart from been intelligent... they seem to be die-hard fans of Nnamdi Kanu... so when he yawns they sneeze...

Other South East states have woken up from this dilemma ... For instance in Imo... offices and market open as usual... likewise intra-state transport is normal...

Since this is more of an ideological stereotyping.... not as though they do not want to do business on such days..... I advise Governor Soludo to manage this matter wisely...

Normally whenever I am in Anambra on such days... I go out and do business with those who opened their offices...

I would rather say that the better approaches to this issue are... reassuring the traders of their safety... engaging Christian leaders to discuss with their congregations... making special government purchases from businesses who open on such days...

To the energetic traders... pls open your shops so that customers who find it convenient on Mondays can travel to Anambra to make purchases..

And to Governor Soludo... kindly reconcile with the traders .. RENAISSANCE.

Lagos announces new tax law empowers state to seize funds from bank accounts, friends, family members

According to the service, the law permits direct recovery where a taxpayer fails to remit an established tax liability when due.


The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service has disclosed that the new tax law empowers state revenue agencies to recover unpaid taxes by seizing funds from the bank accounts of employers, friends, business partners, tenants, and other third parties connected to a tax defaulter.

LIRS informed Lagos residents and business owners that the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025 authorises the service to deduct outstanding taxes from rent payments, as well as from accounts belonging to business partners, family members and friends who hold money on behalf of a defaulting taxpayer.

According to the service, the law permits direct recovery where a taxpayer fails to remit an established tax liability when due, expanding enforcement beyond the defaulter’s personal accounts to include those of individuals or entities financially linked to them.

LIRS explained that under Section 60 of the NTAA 2025, the state may issue substitution notices to banks, employers, tenants and any person holding or owing money to a tax defaulter, directing them to remit such funds to the service in settlement of the debt.

“Where a taxpayer fails, neglects or refuses to settle any established outstanding tax liability when due, LIRS may exercise its power under Section 60 to direct any of the following persons to pay the amount owed by the taxpayer: banks and other financial institutions, employers, tenants, debtors, or customers of the taxpayer, agents, business partners, and any person holding money on behalf of the taxpayer and any person owing money to the taxpayer, whether presently due or accruing,” LIRS wrote in a statement.

In such cases, LIRS said it would issue a substitution notice to the defaulter’s bank or to those of third parties holding funds on the taxpayer’s behalf.

Financial institutions are mandated by law to notify LIRS of the account balance of the defaulter and those of their friends and family and remit the outstanding taxes “without delay.”

A receipt confirming payment of outstanding taxes is then sent to the LIRS e-Tax platform:www.stax.lirs.net.

The service warned that under the newly implemented law, failure to comply with a substitution directive constitutes an offence, noting that friends, business associates and other third parties connected to tax defaulters may bear financial responsibility where they are found to be holding funds belonging to the taxpayer.

The NTAA 2025, since its January 1 implementation, has generated rancour among lawmakers who accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of making unapproved alterations in the gazetted versions

It is not often that a Nigerian soldier is able to capture a firefight involving infantry, tanks and major firepower, so when this video clip arrived in my news feed, I had to share it on the Nairaland forum for the viewing pleasure of my fellow armchair generals in the house. If you listen carefully you will hear the whistle of incoming rounds whipping past the cameraman's head as he bravely records the chaotic firefight.

Sit back, and enjoy the fireworks, but while you see the brave men of the Nigerian army lock horns with a determined and well funded enemy, remember that this is no movie, and that when the smoke clears, a few Nigerian soldiers will have paid the ultimate price, and thus made the ultimate sacrifice for their fatherland.

To deny the facts that the massacres in Nigeria is not a genocide against Christians is denying the truth...

The reason the terrorists are called islamists is because they are influenced by erroneous teaching which make them view others as infidels... thereby burning down Churches, beheading individuals...

The attack by the terrorists was well coordinated as they are just too many with different sophisticated weapons. But they were decimated.

Those who are sponsoring them gave them out to the security operatives for the clearance so that they won't be able to talk in future. Such coordinated attack shouldn't have failed, at least they would have run over the barrack before aerial attack .

Their backers are backing down ,Nigeria is winning the war against the miscreants

Kudos to the Nigerian Military for overcoming the terrorists... The victory from this recent battle is a positive morale... If this tempo is sustained... these terrorists will be pushed backwards... beyond our borders...

Existing facts proves these terrorists are foreigners... it is then appropriate that the northern borders of Nigeria be blocked to prevent infiltration of these negative element into Nigeria...

There are nuggets in your point, but the tax should go on for several reasons.

1. I trust president Tinubu has done his homework and he’s the expert we can believe in this area.
2. The current tax cancels the old one and actually puts more money back in the pocket of low income tax payers.
3. Suspension of the tax will make the naysayers say they have won and will try to stop the president from doing anything after that. It’s all in the politics you know.
4. It won’t make any difference at this point, as it’s ready to roll out.
5. The condition of 2020 is different from today, Nigeria died in 2023 and president Tinubu is rebuilding Nigeria from the ground up.

The tax must go through, if it has to be done, let it happen under the master himself.

I admire your reasoning... but let me share more light on my objections to the proposed tax regime and it's implementation:...

1. There is a conflict in the gazetted tax acts versus the harmonized tax acts... if justice is to prevail... whosoever that made the alterations should be prosecuted...

2. When the president was the governor of Lagos... the concept of empowering touts "agberos" to molest and forcefully tax motorists began... and there have not been any record of how much was generated monthly or annually through this crude approach.... and what projects the funds were utilized... but we know these funds were embezzled because the touts used the monies to build their mansions... yet it continues and more states have imbibed this bad culture...

3. In December 2022... a government official under Buhari administration disclosed that over 96% of Nigerians do not have active savings in banks... which imply majority of citizens live by what they earn daily... So therefore if the present government under same political structure... can not improve the living conditions of citizens... then at least they should relieve them of extra burdens....

Although they are more points... but I believe you are intelligent... hence a word is enough for the wise...

The tax should go through because of the tax dodgers, the only thing is if they could lift it to N1 million.

The economy is the same everywhere, in fact Nigeria has one of the best economy in Africa right now.

What’s the official minimum wage? I thought it’s around N66K. I’m not too worried is I know that most people earning less than N200k from the private sector will beat it somehow, it’s the millionaires and billionaires that I hope will pay their fair shares.

I like your analysis... but I still insist that the tax regime should be suspended...

Indirect taxes are still collected without accountability... also the conflict on the gazetted tax acts are yet to be resolved...

If the present government needs immediate funds.... they should generate such by recovering loots from corrupt officials... and restitute funds which they have individually stolen... You would be surprised how much would be generated through these...

To remind you of recent scenarios... in 2020 US government under President Trump restituted Abacha's loots... those restored amounts sustained the country at that critical moment...

As I prepare to be the next President... this present whole tax regime structure is faulty... it needs a holistic review... and many citizens need to be empowered... after then we will implement a healthy and realistic tax structure... RENAISSANCE

BREAKING NEWS: Sultan of Sokoto, Sa'adu Abubakar, has reportedly left his palace for an unknown location, sparking concerns and speculations. The Sultan is the spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslim community and head of the Sokoto Caliphate, a position he has held since 2006.

The palace, a symbol of Islamic heritage and governance in northern Nigeria, is usually bustling with activities, but the sudden departure has left many wondering about the circumstances surrounding his exit.

Nigeria is a multi-ethnic entity... and ethnic leaders are expected to promote national brotherhood by reiterating godly values amongst their kinsmen... but the contrary is the case... with some spearheading grievous atrocities...

I was recently told in a group that Nairaland no longer allows post that are in support of president Tinubu on important topics especially the ones that punch holes into the opposition narratives. And that it’s still on low heat and pro Apc will be completely silenced right before the elections because the opposition are now running nairaland. Just know that quite a few people are thinking about you A LOT!

Well, Seun has become a big problem, he has helped the enemy to use nairaland to wage wars on Yoruba and has caused Yoruba to lose the information war. Yes Yoruba are docile, but people can see the role Seun played and still playing in destroying Yoruba. This is not about asking for a special treatment, it’s about a level playing field, there’s a reason why RUMBLE is still the best place to be, they understand what freedom of speech is.

Seun also has a lawsuit in his future because if he’s censoring certain posts before they hit the board, then nairaland is not a platform but a publisher with a lot of liabilities. And before they say Yoruba are dragging a fellow Yoruba and a successful one at that, people can see that we have suffered in his hand. Even if the State Dept. is helping you now, trust me, they will leave you high and dry when they’re done using you since you don’t make them money and China has almost cornered most of their interests in Nigeria except the military base.

These are previous 2 of my comments that were not allowed to post .

With regards to the tax comparison... it won't be right to tax people earning less than official minimum wage.... note that N800,000 annual pay is equivalent to N66,667 per month...

There's a thread currently up here that showed revenue generated in terms of Port charges and Custom duties paid by all other coastal ports including land border ports at Seme in Lagos and Ilela in Sokoto bordering Niger republic.

All these ports generated significant funds to the national treasury.

The report however excluded Onithsa port because not one dime was generated from that port.

Isn't it economically the best thing to do to cut the massive losses that Onitsha port is incuring on NPA books since its inception and have same port deregistered as a civil merchant port and hand it over to the Nigerian navy?

The Nigerian Navy has a fleet of litorial flat haul vessels that can use Onithsa as their base.

The base can also be the naval base for other smaller river gun boats which can be used to patrol upstream of the Niger up to Kainji and also navigate up along the Benue river. The same port can also serve the lower Niger with its small gun boats. Note that having Onithsa, Lokoja, Kainji and strategic naval dockyards along the Benue-Niger trough will serve a long way in dealing with terrorists that are operating along the middle belt.

This is a good observation... I think the Onitsha port should be handed over to the Navy... because the first and second Niger bridges will interrupt easy flow of marine vessels... and this decision will ease the tension of relocating surrounding mega markets away from Onitsha...

A location like Oguta in Imo state can be a good location for a new port and industrial zone...
