TELL ME THIS IS NOT SCREWED UP!!!!

Have you ever wondered why very few Hawaiians are working when you visit those islands? All but a few States on the following list are Democrat strongholds ---so go figure! Democrats want to be taken care of by the government --- that’s the fundamental basis of a Democrat.

Can't you just hear students telling their teachers in the future, they want to be welfare recipients & work the system when they grow up…?

The Cato Institute released an updated 2016 study showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33 American states and the District of Columbia.

Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour to stay home in 13 states.

According to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than the minimum wage. It’s now more profitable to sit at home and watch TV than it is to earn an honest day’s pay.

Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13per hour or a $60,590 yearly salary for doing nothing.

Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent “salary” that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job:

1. Hawaii : $60,590
2. District of Columbia :$50,820 l
3. Massachusetts : $50,540
4. Connecticut : $44,370
5. New York : $43,700
6. New Jersey : $43,450
7. Rhode Island : $43,330
8. Vermont : $42,350
9. New Hampshire : $39,750
10. Maryland : $38,160
11. California : $37,160
12 Oregon : $34,300
13. Wyoming : $32,620
14. Nevada : $29,820
15. Minnesota : $29,350
16. Delaware : $29,220
17. Washington : $28,840
18. North Dakota : $28,830
19. Pennsylvania : $28,670
20. New Mexico : $27,900
21. Montana : $26,930
22. South Dakota : $26,610
23. Kansas: $26,490
24. Michigan : $26,430
25. Alaska : $26,400
26. Ohio : $26,200
27. North Carolina : $25,760
28. West Virginia : $24,900
29. Alabama : $23,310
30. Indiana : $22,900
31. Missouri : $22,800
32. Oklahoma : $22,480
33. Louisiana : $22,250
34 South Carolina : $21,910

Hawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working folks earn there.

Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job.

Time for a drastic change... America is virtually bankrupt.

Note that California is $18.50 an hour. Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity … This is crazy!

Now if you think that’s bad, read about these ANNUAL salaries:


Salary of retired United States Presidents $180,000 Per Year FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate...$174,000 Per Year FOR LIFE.
This is beyond stupid!
Salary of Speaker of the House ..$223,500 Per Year FOR LIFE!
This is really stupid.
Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,400 Per Year FOR LIFE!
Ditto last line.

Average Salary of a teacher ... $40,065 Per Year...
Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN .. $38,000 Per Year...


Now, Think about this!

Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. She will retire as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year Plus she will receive an additional $193,400 a year for when she was Minority Leader, the fact that she has become rich while in office notwithstanding.
That's $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical which is not available to the rest of us... the taxpayers!

She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congresspersons that float in and out of Congress every year!

I think we found where the cuts should be made! But do you think they will vote themselves a cushy retirement?! Doubtfull. We The People would have to FORCE them to make those changes!

If you agree ....please pass this on, I just did.

AND, can you imagine paying AOC and the Gang of 4 these sums for life ? Just shoot me now!

Brize don blow we don see fauw anus
No be Fulani kill the Catholic presit for Benue.

The people that take your people for ritual purpose back then like badoo and others you didn't use oro to fight them at night but fighting the innocent citizens.

Dino you get mouth for kogi state but you be Yoruba man, I no say them no go gree for u.remember falake case before you.

In buhari government only women use to win gold medals in tournaments. Maybe it because he gave birth to too many girls.

On PDP/APC suit:Buhari/APC will win the Tribunal, Atiku/PDP will appeal and win while Buhari/APC will go to supreme court and win.

The guy came from Nigeria to Lagos and was later deported from Lagos to Nigeria.

But there is a rail track inside the Port since 70s and it's still functions till now .FG should find another lie

A certain devil is operating in Nigeria from region to region

APC are better some times

The body NYSC can be used to Fight For this.

true2god:
I am not dismissing your claim; I only see a form of exaggeration in your claim. No doubt the Persians are smart people and are making scientific progress, but when you place them side by side with great scientific powers (the US, Japan, Germany, China, Britain, Russia, France, South Korea, France, Italy, the Netherlands, etc) you will discover that they still lag behind.

I can hardly see any consumer products that are made in Iran. I am yet to see any phone, TV, computer, car, Aeroplane, etc that are made in Iran.

if you come to Trinity tyre market in apapa you will Iran products like tyre and tube call Iran yasa. But I have never seen any things made in Israel.

From the foregoing:
The Yoruba nation and her people contribute 49% of Nigeria's income.
The South-South region and her people contribute 44% of Nigeria's income.
The Hausa/Fulaniland contributes 2.5% of Nigeria's income.
The Middle Belt region contributes 2% to Nigeria's income.
The Igboland contributes 1.5% to Nigeria's income.
The Kanuriland contributes 1% to Nigeria's income.
_________________________________________
Please take note that the South-South region has six major ethnic nationalities, including:
1. Edo
2. Uhrobo
3. Itsekiri
4. Ijaw
5. Ogoni
6. Efik-Ibibio
All these nationalities save Itsekiri, contribute 44% of Nigeria's income.
The Itsekiri contribution has been added as part of Yoruba contributions because they are Yoruba.
There are Igbo communities in Delta and Rivers States, and their contributions have also been factored into the Igbo contributions.
_________________________________________
In summary, the Hausa/Fulani people are the most corrupt of the ethnic groups in Nigeria. Through the machination of self-serving career politicians in England, the Fulani held political power in Nigeria between 1960 and 2010, and since 2015.
They replaced the regional system that allows each region to control its wealth and resources with a unitary system that takes resources from the Yoruba and the South-South to fund the economic growth and development in the North while Yorubaland remains poor and underdeveloped.
Young Yoruba must come together and join forces with the Young Yoruba for Freedom to take over Yoruba’s ports and waterways from the control of the Fulani beginning from 2018 and declare for Oduduwa Republic.
There is an urgent need for the Young Yoruba to form relationship with the white in America; the Russians; the Chinese and the Brazilians.
We are the generation we have been waiting for.

Also, I have not considered Personal Income Tax because it is not collected by the Federal Government.
Court fees and fines, licence fees and other revenues are too insignificant for this lecture.

It also collects interests from investing foreign reserves, repatriation of unutilized WDAS, interests on WDAS Accounts held by Deposit Money Banks, Inward Money Transfer and WDAS Purchases.
Agreeing to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistic and Economic Initiatives, 60% of the CBN earnings comes from the Yorubaland because of the eight categories of receipts for the CBN out of the possible 15 sources of income come essentially from the Yorubaland:

a. Direct sales (NNPC)
b. Petroleum Profits Tax (Oil Companies)
c. Royalties
d. Penalty from Gas Flaring
There is no meaningful contribution of the Central Bank of Nigeria earnings from the:

________________________________

1% of employee total monthly payroll is paid into the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF).
The Yoruba contributes 85% of the funding of NSITF, but the fund benefits only the Hausa/Fulani and not the Yoruba workers who have suffered death, trauma, disease or disability arising from employment.
h. Petroleum Profit Tax: is levied on the income of companies engaged in upstream petroleum operation.
This is passed down to vehicle owners in Nigeria.
According to the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics, more than 65 percent of all registered vehicles in Nigeria are within Yorubaland.
Yorubaland is therefore responsible for the 65 percent of the Petroleum Profit Tax.
Once more, this does not benefit the Yoruba, but the Hausa/Fulani.
i. Capital Gains Tax: is applied on capital gains accruing to any person (company or individual) making a chargeable disposal of assets.
The tax rate is 10%, which is chargeable on assets, including options, debts and incorporeal property generally, any currency other than Nigeria currency, whatever form of property created by the person disposing it, goodwill, copyright, buildings, chattel etc.
The Yoruba region is responsible for 95 percent of the capital gains tax to the Federal Government.
Again, the beneficiary is the Hausa/Fulani.

The Yoruba alone contributes 75% of the VAT in Nigeria.
The money does not benefit the Yoruba, but the Hausa/Fulani.
l. Stamp Duty: is a tax on documents evidencing transactions between individual.
All official documents relating to an act to be performed in Nigeria must be stamped.
Unstamped documents are generally not admissible as evidence in civil proceedings.
90 percent of Stamp Duty paid in Nigeria comes through Yorubaland.
m. Luxury Tax: special levies have been introduced on luxury items since 2015.
The Yoruba people are yielding 60% of the tax on luxury items.
Yoruba region of Nigeria is responsible for 85 percent of Federal Inland Revenue tax collected on behalf of the Federal Government.
Only 12% of the Federal Inland Revenue Service earnings comes from the entire North, however, in terms of revenue sharing, the three regions from the North combined together, get the lion’s share from the FIRS earning.

There is no single contribution of the Nigeria Ports Authority earnings from the:
South-East,
North-Central,
North-West
North-East.
But in terms of revenue sharing, the three regions of the North combined together, get the lion’s share

iamclime:
Can I have the full copy of this report? I need it for research purposes. Thanks

Here is how the Yorubaland generates 80% of the Federal Inland Revenue taxes:
All companies registered in Nigeria paid a portion of their profits as:
Companies Income Tax (30%);
Education Tax (2%);
Information Technology Tax (1%);
Pension Contribution (18%);
National Housing Fund Contribution (2.5%); Industrial Training Fund Contribution (1%);
Employee Compensation Scheme (1%).
According to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), 85 percent of all companies registered in Nigeria are located within the Yorubaland.
Consequently, the Yoruba region of Nigeria is responsible for 85 percent of the Companies Income Tax, Education Tax, Information Technology Tax, Pension Contribution, National Housing Fund Contribution, Industrial Training Fund Contribution and Employee Compensation Scheme
a. Companies Income Tax: Yorubaland is responsible for 85% of companies income tax paid to the Federal Government. But Yorubaland economy is not sustainable because the profit paid goes to finance economic growth and development in the North.
b. Education Tax: 2% of the profit of companies registered in Nigeria is paid as Education Tax. Since 85 percent of all registered companies in Nigeria are located in Yorubaland.
Yorubaland is therefore responsible for the payment of 85% of Education Tax collected by the Federal Government.
This revenue is enough to fund free and qualitative education for all Yoruba citizens and residents, but the money goes to the North to fund Hausa/Fulani Islamic education.
c. Information Technology Tax: is payable by specified companies with turnover of N100 million and above.
The companies include GSM service providers, and telecommunications companies, cyber companies and internet providers, pension managers and pension related companies, banks and other financial institutions, and insurance companies.
It is 1% of the profit of the companies. Since 85 percent of all registered companies are in Yorubaland according to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), again, it is the Yoruba region that is responsible for 85% of Information Technology Tax in Nigeria.
But internet connectivity is very poor across Yorubaland and no free Wifi because the money paid by the Yoruba to improve its telecommunications goes to fund growth in the North.
d. Pension Contribution: all employers in the public sector and private employers that have 15 or more employees are required, under the Pension Reform Act 2014, to participate in a contributory pension scheme in favour of their employees.
18% of monthly emoluments is paid by employers as a pension contribution.
Again, 85% of the pension contribution is paid by the Yoruba region into the Federal Government coffer.
Retired Yoruba citizens cannot take their pension because their pension contributions fund growth and development in the North.
e. Industrial Training Fund Contribution: is applicable to employers with a minimum of 5 employees.
Employers pay 1% of the annual payroll cost to the industrial training fund contribution.
Again, 85 percent of the employers doing so are Yoruba. The Yoruba therefore contributes 85 percent of the industrial training fund contributions.
But Yoruba youth has no opportunities for industrial training programs because the money paid by the Yoruba goes to fund economic growth and development in the North.
f. National Housing Fund Contribution: is applicable to Nigerians employees earning a minimum of N3,000 per annum.
2.5 percent of basic salary is deducted and remitted to the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria.
Again, 85 percent of the National Housing Fund Contribution is paid by the Yoruba region into the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, but most Yoruba people are sleeping rough or under the bridges because their money is building homes for the Hausa/Fulani.
g. Employee Compensation Scheme: is a levy on employees for any death, injury, disease or disability arising from or in the course of employment.
1% of employee total monthly payroll is paid into the Nigeria

Adeyinka Grandson
President of the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF)
On the 30 December 2018
London, England
_________________________________________

The revenue of the Federal Government of Nigeria comes from the following seven major sources:

Corporate Income Tax
Education Tax
Information Technology Tax
Pension Contributions
Industrial Training Fund Contributions
National Housing Fund Contributions
Employees Compensation Scheme

Petroleum Profit Tax
Capital Gains Tax
Withholding Tax
Value Added Tax (VAT)
Stamp Duty
Luxury Tax

4. The Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA)

5. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)

6. The Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA)

7. The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG)

There are other minor sources of revenue for the Federal Government of Nigeria like Solid minerals, court fees and fines.
_________________________________________

1. Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation collects royalties, rents and penalties on oil products.

Annually, NNPC generates on the norm, about N3 trillion.

This information I'm giving is the fact: According to the NNPC records, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa and Cross Rivers states produced 89% of all the crude oil in Nigeria.

Ondo and Edo states produced 10%.

Imo and Abia states produced less than 1% and Anambra state produced absolutely nothing.

This signifies that the South-South region contributes 80% of the NNPC earnings.

The Yoruba nation, including Ondo State plus Itsekiri, contributes the remaining 20% of the NNPC's earnings.

There is nothing significantly coming from the Igboland in terms of oil revenue.

There is no single contribution to the NNPC earnings from the:

Middle Belt's North-Central,
Hausa/Fulani's North-West
Kanuri's North-East.

But these three regions of the North, get the lion’s share from the NNPC earning.
_________________________________________

2. The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), collects import and excise duties levied on cost, insurance and freight.

Yearly, the NCS generates on the average N2 trillion.

According to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistic with the agreement of the Nigeria Customs Service, the 11 Customs Command areas in Yorubaland generated 90% of the NCS revenue every year.

The Customs Commands across Yorubaland, include:

Apapa Command;
Tin-Can Command;
Lagos Airport Command;
Kirikiri Command;
Seme Command;
Tin-Can II Command;
Lagos Industrial Command;
Ogun Command;
Oyo/Osun Command;
Ondo/Ekiti Command;
Kwara/Kogi Command.

South-South region contributes the 5% of the NCS revenue.

There is no substantial contribution to the Nigeria Custom Service earnings from the:

South-East,
North-Central,
North-West
North-East.

But, in terms of revenue sharing, the three regions of the North combined together, get the lion’s share from the Nigeria Customs Service earning.
_________________________________________

3. The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), collects and administers taxes on behalf of the Federal Government.

Each year, the FIRS generates on the average, N8 trillion from:

Corporate Income Tax
Education Tax
Information Technology Tax
Pension Contributions
Industrial Training Fund Contributions
National Housing Fund Contributions
Employees Compensation Scheme

Petroleum Profit Tax
Capital Gains Tax
Withholding Tax
Value Added Tax (VAT)
Stamp Duty
Luxury Tax

According to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistic, 80% of the FIRS revenue comes from the Yorubaland.

The North, including the North-West, North-Central and North-East, contributes only 12% of the FIRS revenue.

The South-South (excluding the Itshekiri area), and the South-East, together, contribute the remaining 8%.

*HOW SECURE IS OUR FUTURE WITH NIGERIA EDUCATION SYSTEM: AOCOED/EKSU ON CALL*

Since 2015 of graduation year, Sandwich Degree students of AOCOED are yet to be issued Statement of Result when their colleagues in other degree awarding institutions have been issued theirs. These are institutions that run the same set of programs in affiliation with Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti.

This heartless attitude becomes so worrisome to the concerned students because most of the students need this result to further studies, some need it to get promotion in the various work places while some need it to get appointment post.

These are the students that hustled to pay tuitions and even not allowed to write examination if one kobo remains unpaid.

After several meetings of the students representatives with the AOCOED management on how to get the issue resolved, all promises become abortive and unfulfilled.

The question is, what could have caused the delay in result processing? We are still yet to get answer to this question. The headpoint is that the management of AOCOED is heartless and does not have any human feeling. How many of their children are in this mess. We are killing talents and morale in this country in the name of university education.

Many of the students are growing into ages where certificate may become useless to get employment. Many have lost various jobs because no evidence of graduation. This is becoming unbearable as government intervention is highly required.

We call on Lagos State Government to look critically in this matter on why students should suffer in the state-owned institution. If government truely monitoring the activities of its institutions, things will not go wrong as it is and students will not face hell to get Statement of result and certificate.

AMERICANS ARE THE MOST LIBERAL PEOPLE ON EARTH

The American government is probably the most evil government on earth. It is a government at the helms of the world’s foremost superpower and practically twists the rest of the world with its little finger. America directly or indirectly topples governments in other parts of the world. Many internal conflicts are orchestrated from Washington and when it decides to occupy a country, it usually leaves that country in pretty worse condition than it was before the occupation. I have always taken the notion or the conspiracy theory that America loves unrest so that it could test its defence capabilities and bring in billions of dollars through the conduits of local arms manufacturers. There must be conflicts. A peaceful world will hurt America military, political and economic standings.

But the regular American people are diametrically different from their government. Yes there are a good number of them who are homophobic and racial bigots. If one thinks about the days of segregation and the Klu Klux Klan, you may not want to give Americans the benefit of doubt. Over time, the orientation and predilection of the normal American people have changed for better. Wherever it is you emigrated from or your origins, if you were born in America, as long as you’re law abiding, you could become the President, a la Obama. Most Americans now live up to the dreams of Martin Luther King Jnr from his famous “I Have A Dream” speech: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!"

The basis of this write-up is the result of the recent election into Senate and House of Representatives. Americans blazed the trail again by rising above strains of Islamophopia by electing into Congress the first two Muslim women. One is RASHIDA TLAIB from Michigan (originally from Palestine) and ILHAN OMAR from Minnesota (born in Somalia) who will have the distinction of being the first Hijab wearing congresswoman in American history.

This is not a Uhuru reference point for Muslims. It is rather a reference point for tolerance and good conscience. Americans have done what is abhorrent in many Muslim dominated countries and this should not pass unnoticed. Those who voted for these two Muslim women are largely non-Muslims who knew fully well they were voting for Muslims and for one who openly expressed the wish of becoming the first woman to wear Hijab in Congress.

A peaceful world will have cornerstones of tolerance, unity and equality. We should all do the little we can to put humanity first and above other considerations.

Peace to the world.
