Why the hell are they interested in her admission status? She is neither a politician nor holds any public office so why the scrutiny.... Useless and jobless people...

Ehhy. What a question?

Ok. India, every Religious institution in India pay very high tax infact they are almost and completely managed by the state openly.

2. All churches in Europe pay taxes infact recently, the Italian gov. Asked the Vatican city to open up for total audit but the Vatican was able to clearify that it's land occupation was completely bought off infact the Vatican city just as it is called is a sovereign state.
Please read this and share your thoughts:

so Mr X earns 100k monthly and lays 13 to the govt as tax leaving him with 87k. He then pays a certain amount to a trader for a bag of rice. Going by what u said in your post, the trader should not be taxed because Mr X has paid tax already. Mr X also buys cement from dangote, therefore, dangote should not be taxed because Mr X has paid tax already. If the trader and dangote are taxed, it is double taxation.

Now You See how silly your comment was.

And don't ever put church and charity together, they are 2 different things. The church is a business that makes profit.
Let's follow your line of thought a little bit further... Let's say Mr X gives his son 20k as pocket money then by your analogy government should collect tax on it...

There is a clear difference between giving money to a religious organisation and giving money to an economic concern...

OP.
Yes you are correct but I will also like us to understand that the church is an organization and it makes profits.

How many times do thieves and arm rubbers disturb the church? I tell you, thieves Don't usually disturb the church not because they are afraid but because the state has always supported and protected the church.

You see, leave God out of this, how many times has politicians played with the church? Not many despict their hunger for power.

All over the world, the church does all what you have listed and still pay tax exempt Nigeria.

During Jesus time, the church paid heavy tax and still do more than they do today in terms of social welfare.

The church is a very profit making business and also enjoys highest tax cut but not tax exemption
Please give examples of countries where religious organisations pay tax or even charity organisations...

Let me make this simple analogy: let's say Mr X earns 100k monthly and pays 13 to the govt as tax leaving him with 87k; he then pays a certain sub to the religious organisation or to charity... Now if the govt collects tax on what he has given does this not amount to double taxationhuh

This is the rationale behind the tax exemption!!!

Now all the tax that government has collected what have they used it forhuh

Toks2008:
This is the problem associated with living in a third world country.

In advanced world this is no issh cos they can always check the genotype of a young foetus before it advances and if it is AS they will just do the needful and even if you bring SS to the world,they usually live a normal life to their 50s.
1. The cost of doing intrauterine tests is very expensive even in developed countries
2. That means doing abortion for all children who are potentially SS inutero
3. In advanced countries the life expectancy is in the 70s
4. All these because a parent was too selfish to do the right thing at the right time...
HealthRe: How Nigerian Doctors Worsened Drug Abuse Among Nigerian Youths by Smooth278(m): 11:38pm On May 20, 2018
Who headed NAFDAC before Dora? Was it a doctor also?
What was the salary scale before 1991? Or was it in 1991 all the professions came into practice in Nigeria?
The BBC video that was circulated, was there any doctor implicated in it?

Critical thinking is really lacking in this part of the world...

A doctor headed nafdac. His non challant attitude lead to influx of all kinds of drugs. To worsen matter, the minister of health banned tramadol without consulting the regulatory body
Do you by any chance know the profession in charge of drug importationhuh If you don't it is only Pharmacists that are permitted by law to import drugs into Nigeria...

For all the fake drugs and illegal drugs pharmacists are to blame because only their profession has the licence to do imports...

Hope you have been informed ....

Who prescribe all the codein and tramadols for patients in hospitals?

Nor be doctors?

By time the patients are hooked, these deadly addictive drugs becomes a part of their lives.

It took BBC to remind Nigerian doctors and their minister of doctor, Adewole, that the doctors in the WEST have moved away from these drugs!
You are joking right... Do more research and see... In the west its still a big problem...

Most people in Nigeria who take tramadol were not given in the hospital... Those who were given in the hospital must have indications for it...

The question mark is 4

I agree with most other solutions above...

For the square: remove 2 horizontal matchsticks from each column to make each column have 2 rectangles instead of 4 squares. That's taking out 8 matchsticks..

Next remove one matchstick from the perimeter of the big square to distort the integrity... Problem solved

I hope you know that it's probably not the girl's fault that she failed. Some of these perverts will fail you intentionally so you can come begging or fail you deliberately because you've refused to do their bidding.
It happens sometimes but not in this case... She failed woefully from an objective perspective
