You think protests stopped Tinubu from hosting his colloquium he used to organize every year

In 2012, after protesting subsidy in January towards February which that started the year on a protestant sound, they still celebrated birthday of Tinubu in grand style in March. Tinubu was 60. De there 🤡

The POPE is already used to old days where Christians suffer persecution and keep quiet without fighting back.

Modern Christianity won't tolerate the nonsense that what America stands for.

Condemning US is not fair, what will he say to those saying Death to America?

At times, it's better to speak fair language than blame...

You are condemning US, how many Muslim Imam has ever condemn Iran sponsoring terrorism globally?

You are funny.

I hope you realize that Venezuela has a huge catholic population but the US kidnapped their leader in order to save the people. Did the Christian population see it as justice to take what does not belong to you? What US did in Venuezela is what they have tried to do in Iran, and they have set eyes on Cuba for. What did Christ teach you about justice and fairness

AlphaTaikun:
The real name of the protest in 1929 is Ikot Abasi Women's protest. The Ibibio women of Ikot Abasi now in Akwa Ibom State led by the former Minister Udoma's grandmother (who eventually was shot dead alongside other women) started the protest against high taxations. However the Ikot Abasi Women have been immortalized due to the FACT that the ORIGINAL protests in that part of Nigeria started from Ibibioland NOT Aba as wrongly claimed by some propaganda history books.

The FALSE use of "Aba women riot" was meant to cover up the murder of those gallant Ibibio women and because Aba is closer to Enugu, the seat of the Colonial Eastern Nigeria Government so the media originally thought the Aba women started the protests.

You have a good point. We don't even talk about these things for us to start intellectual dissection of origin and conclusion. We just brush it up as if the history does not matter. How do the people then have aspiration and inspiration if they don't know what their forebears did? You see how they insult themselves here and cursing their own race. That's why each side on this forum takes delight in abusing themsleves 🤡 The Iran VS US/Israel thread proves it further as our people know the history of the Arabs and Europeans than they know of themselves.

Parachoko:
You can change numbers but you will have a permanent number linked to your BVN

You shouldn't. We have too many data points and it's unnecessary. Don't forget why they brought BVN. Just last week, INEC too wanted to revalidate our PVC which will render it from being permanent. Nigeria needs to fix its ID system and stop doing it in silos. Minister of Interior will have his own idea, CBN Governor his, Finance theirs, Defence theirs etc. Have you thought about someone who does not live in the country and has a BVN?

[quote author=anonimi post=82397523]Powerful women.
Excellent ideas.
When our women take up matters, we just have to act.
They should do more of this as the Abeokuta and Aba women did on governance matters.

[quote author=papyjaypaul post=131837425]There is nothing like that. The problem is that we do not appreciate our culture and history. Do you know that markets are connected to the Oba? The Iyaloja is a member of the King's cabinet and the King gets to know the feelings of the people through what the market women say? Our mothers worked and earned without problem until the British colonialists came to destroy our system of government. It won't happen in Igbo markets because historically Igbo don't have the same system but the story of Funmilayo and aba women's rights should have taught Nigerians some lessons about who they are. Alas!

Our society has been destroyed by Western ideas and some people who call themselves feminists without knowing who they are will say their fathers are misogynistic and all that nonsense. They don't know how powerful their mothers were before oyinbo came to destroy what they had. Now the oyinbo are contaminating their minds the way they did in the west to make them compete with men instead of us working together as a society. Everyone had their roles, both men and women. The same British called our fathers idiots for giving their women so much freedom such as Iyaloja!!! They did not allow women participate in their own democracies, today women are looking for crumbs to eat in that thing they call percentage whatever. They are begging the Presidents to give them space. How foolish can Africans be!

Do your own research on why we had the aba women riot and the Abeokuta riot, all led by women. Even in Black America, women were tired of being lied to because they saw white massa sleeping with them and giving them false hopes. women are protectors of the society. Today I saw one boy on Nairaland who said a woman without 500k should not get married. women in Nigeria have been raped off their power and deceived with feminine rights by oyinbo who make them hate their ancestors and love fake oyinbo rights. The women did not take a careful study of how these oyinbo gave their own women rights and when.

Before you reply me, if you choose to reply me, listen to Prof first and reflect on who we historically are. If you don't know your history, you will repeat the mistakes of the past

Aba Women's Riot of 1929: A Turning Point

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddDdh1sxztw

The Aba Women’s Riot of 1929 happened mainly because of unfair taxes and the extension of colonial authority over women. The British tried to impose direct taxes and give warrant chiefs more control, but market women in Aba protested since they had no voice in government decisions. Tens of thousands of women joined strikes and demonstrations, even attacking colonial offices, to resist being taxed and controlled unfairly. The revolt forced the British to rethink taxation and local administration, making it a turning point in Nigeria’s colonial history and showing the strength of women’s collective action.


The people are very comfortable with corruption. In the UK and US, politicians who raise taxes can lose elections because voters hold them accountable, but in Nigeria, taxes are 🇳🇬

No Tax If You Are Earning Below ₦800k Annually
https://www.nairaland.com/8591409/no-tax-earning-below-800k/3#137990000

I just need to break this down here because what you don't understand you will keep being misled.

A tax is money the government collects from people, businesses, or things you buy, to pay for public services like roads, schools, hospitals, and electricity.

Many Nigerians think only people with salaries pay tax because income tax (PAYE) is very visible, it comes straight off your paycheck. But in reality, everyone pays indirect taxes whenever they buy goods, fuel, food, use electricity, phone, or travel. The “hypocrisy” comes from the fact that government talks about income tax more because it’s easy to track, while indirect taxes are hidden in prices, so it feels like the poor or informal workers aren’t paying anything when they actually are.

What annoys me is the japa people that go abroad and yap about taxes. They want Nigeria to have the same western style. If you play with taxes abroad, you'll be shown the way out in the next election and you should also understand the white man and why he does things in a way. When you understand their history, you'll know why we are not the same.

Some countries really do not charge personal income tax at all meaning residents don’t file annual income tax returns like in the UK/US and don’t pay tax on their salaries. Examples include United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Monaco, Brunei and Vanuatu, among others. These countries still get money for government services through oil, trade, fees, or other taxes, not by taxing individual salaries. Do the maths and tell me one thing in common Nigeria has that some of these countries have. These countries fund government spending through other sources such as oil and gas revenues, corporate taxes, import duties, fees, tourism income or VAT/sales taxes, instead of taxing people’s income directly.

You need to get off this obsession with the west and trying to be like who you are not. This is the miseducation of the average African. Don't forget that in Aba and Ogun State, Women fought the imposition of taxes by the British. Many Nigerians don't even study their history. You should go and read why they didn't want the colonial government collecting taxes from them.


Historically, Western heavy taxation grew partly from scarcity and because they needed money to fund armies, wars, infrastructure, and administrative systems. Land and resources were limited, populations were growing, and scarcity of money made taxes necessary. Scarcity also came from their harsh climates, poor harvests, and limited technology, so the state had to extract more from people to survive and provide basic service, sunlike in some African systems, where wealth was shared communally rather than extracted as formal taxes. When you look at it today, the concept of Black Tax is because in Africa, we share the resources with the rest of us Ubuntu style. Learn why things are the way they are. Today, I see people teaching financial wealth and I laugh when they want us to copy westerners and their form of selfish indiduvual finance.

The Aba Women’s Riot of 1929 happened mainly because of unfair taxes and the extension of colonial authority over women. The British tried to impose direct taxes and give warrant chiefs more control, but market women in Aba protested since they had no voice in government decisions. Tens of thousands of women joined strikes and demonstrations, even attacking colonial offices, to resist being taxed and controlled unfairly. The revolt forced the British to rethink taxation and local administration, making it a turning point in Nigeria’s colonial history and showing the strength of women’s collective action.
Femi Kehinde, author of A Short Stroll Along History Avenue, brings history to life as he revisits the fearless activism of Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, a woman who redefined resistance in colonial Nigeria. In this interview, he recounts how Funmilayo mobilised the women of Abeokuta to rise against unjust taxation and challenge the colonial power structure. The revolt, a powerful act of defiance, ultimately led to the exile of the Alake of Egbaland.
Through Kehinde’s narration, we see how one woman’s courage reshaped the course of Nigerian history.

The Abeokuta Women’s Revolt: When Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti Rewrote Nigerian History


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyvTtYrZTAk?


History tends to repeat itself when the people don't learn from their past.

The day Nigerians wake up to know their rights and why the government cannot just squander their money, they will wake up.

It should be called a protest, not riot. And Nigerians need to learn from this history, especially as it was due to taxes imposed by the British

Now, women should pick their lessons from their mothers. These women were independents women who did not need to be EQUAL to men to hold their own. Many of you think they were oppressed but these women knew the role of a man and the role of a woman. They didn't fight some misguided fight. In fact, women had money than men because they were their own bosses. The British knew this and wanted to steal from their pie.

Now, look at modern women today. They go work for an unknown stranger, climbing the career ladder in a company that your father has no shares in 🤡

Women wake up. They deceived you. Empowermemt scam.

How the N word got comfortable in Nigeria lingo makes sense for OF. ONLY FOOLS

Una go carry language wey no dey una culture, rubbish language de use am do woke. Shame.

1. One-time phone number change

Under the new rules, customers can now change the phone number linked to their BVN only once in their lifetime. The policy targets rising cases of SIM-swap fraud, where criminals take over phone numbers to gain access to bank accounts.

Customers are therefore advised to link their BVN to a secure, long-term phone number—preferably one already tied to their National Identification Number (NIN).

This rule is nonsense. As much as it makes sense, it is not a long term thinking. We do not have permanent phone numbers. The number tied to my NIN can expire. People can and should have the right to change numbers any number of times they want. Nigeria should decide whether they are using NIN or not. A phone number should not be a personal identifiable number, it is even dangerous. The other time Minister of Interior under Buhari said no passport without NIN. Now, CBN wants to limit your BVN with NIN and OTPhone number. Let's stop making life more difficult for the average Nigerian.

Edit: A phone number is not an identity number and should never be tied to an identity. It is something you have, not something you are. There is no law that insists you must have a phone number for your bank account.

WorkTheTalk:
It’s troubling when the government’s narrative doesn’t match reality. Alex Barber says he wasn’t deported, yet officials claim otherwise. This lack of transparency is the same inactive posture we see on insecurity—Nigerians are left vulnerable while leaders play politics with the truth. Tinubu’s government must stop the lies and start tackling the real issues facing the people.

The other day when I said the State should have fixed its refineries, someone started explaining the issue. And I thought, the man on the street does not care about all of these. Just give us oil! Cheap oil. That's the duty of government. I cannot blame Dangote. Never.

The refinery had earlier raised the price to around N1,275 per litre, citing pressure from volatile global oil markets, according to sources familiar with the matter.

When Trump posted that he would bomb Iran to ancient civilization by targeting their bridges and energy infrastructure, the only thing that came to my mind was energy infrastructure. I've given up on bridges because in Nigeria, mediocrity is celebrated. 4th Mainland bridge is still on their mega plan while the Lagos-Calabar highway is completed since Obidients, Wailers and enemies of the State are already selling gala on its highway, hide your face!!!🙈

In this ongoing war, Iranian officials announced last week that they have restored electricity to their people despite attacks from Israel/US. 👇

It makes me ask the question, are we living in any civilization if we can't have light

A country at war cares so much to restore power to its people, they didn't use the war as an excuse but in my own country, these wicked people use all manner of man-made excuses to put us in darkness, pain and suffering. Every Nigerian becomes an analyst, analyzing waterfalls from Kainji Dam to river sediments of Bakassi peninsular. May woe betide una 👐 It's not a curse. It is what you need because what you have shown us is that you are ungrateful. We are ungrateful people in this country and we should stop insulting God. Nigerians are the most ungrateful people on earth because God blessed us with abundance of resources and wealth but we insult the creator by giving weak excuses and ensuring that people suffer while we take care of our own immediate family and friends. We don't like ourselves, we just pretend we do.

In other countries, they make sure people are okay first. Here, we want to steal everything for ourselves and family, most people don't care about the state. They send their kids abroad, no excuses. They holiday abroad. They show off abroad. What kind of people are these? I can't just speak for God because if I were the one who created this kind of people, I would be so irritated because I see how you take pride in making your own people suffer but stash the money abroad. The president is in power, the supporters are more interested in peppering Obidients. If the president does well, isn't it to everyone's enjoyment and benefit? What sort of tomfoolery makes you bothered about opposition when you have the opportunity to use the goddamn power to fix things? I see in the war threads how people support either side but they don't reason. That country is a terrorist country as they claim here on NL but they have light. They have freaking light. No excuses. They are under sanctions. Here, they give all manner of excuses, sabotage the country, cache out our money, only for it to be used by their oppressors. Clowns 🤡

Nigerian incompetence thrives on world chaos so they can have something to justify their dirty bottoms. It's such a shame and a disgrace that Libya and Iran can have light but in Nigeria, we are ready to blame the world economy. Hisses

Wait, eat watch and see. That's what they are gathering for. Nigerian politics is familiar "G5 endorses Adamu", "Northern Governors endorse Obinna", "Oodua Governors Forum endorse Charles". It's not hard to get a group of consensus in Nigeria who are all serving their own interests that's why we need to rethink this democazy and know if we want some people to choose for us. At least, they do this in the middle East, let's stop wasting money on fake elections where they are not interested in what the masses want. The only difference is that while those ones in the middle east can at least provide the basics of life - electricity, education, housing, road etc, these ones here will loot the money abroad. They hate their own people. They are only interested in stepping on others and showing off in expansive toys. Clowns.
