PoliticsRe: Kunle Toogun: South-West Traditional Rulers Are Selling Land To Foreign Herdsmen by Sterope(f): 9:47am On Jul 29, 2019
There was another report about two years ago of similar thing that happened in the East concerning a local chief or something.

However, it doesn't explain herdsmen grazing actual farmlands. You don't need to go to school to recognise farmlands and understand that it belongs to someone who had expended energy, time and money to make it happen. That is theft and callousness.

What report? Was the report released? What we got was a summary, an ambiguous summary.

That wouldn't have happened in Europe.

Furthermore, the recent hearing by the house tells us differently particularly that the report didn't exonerate Trump on obstruction charges.

Can you not quote me again please? I can't help your worship for America.

Who sat you down and told you that Europe wasn't handling itself during these wars?


princfred:
The last time Europe did this they ended up clubering each other and creating WW2. Even WW1 was a result of Europe not having the moral fabric to apply restrain even agaist itself when it has soo much superior military capability and it took American interference, blood and presense to straighten their mess.
You and Europe should be careful what you wish for.
Foreign AffairsRe: President Macron Of France Is A Fool! - Trump by Sterope(f): 9:23am On Jul 28, 2019
The cases are not baseless. It is not unusual for big corporations to try and screwup others.

Mueller admitted to the house that the only reason Trump wasn't indicted was because he is a sitting president


Talking about countries, most of these investors and owners are not even Americans. Most of their highly skilled employees are mostly from other countries. America is not yet greatest country on earth. It appears it is because of the military might and we all know where their veterans end up...by the roadside.

You measure a country's greatness by its quality of living and social service which include health service, education, etc.

America is far down the list, people die because of lack of affordable healthcare. The education system is not great. There isn't much Government support for those who need help. Yet the consumerism extremely high. This is a country that woul rate spend a big chunk of its budget on the military while its veterans and citizens struggle with a good standard of living.

Trump believes the rich should get richer while the poor should get poorer. As bad as Boris is, whom by the way had been compared to Trump, he will not dream of most policies Trump seeks to impose in America including giving corporations a big tax break so that the rich can get richer. Individuals and small businesses cannot be paying taxes on the little they get and big corporations that make loads fail to contribute their quota to the system.

You cannot claim America is great where you have never lived there. America protects their with money and sucker everyone else into believing that there is something called the American dream. You will never see an European talking about Great America.

It is a myth and it is about its military which had been effectively used to sabotage world peace. Europeans have had enough on war and colonisation that know it knows better than pretend to be saving the world. We care more about having a better life than suffering and smiling because we have the bigger guns. The only thing Trump has gone is talk about America's greatness and provoke other countries to show the world how that America has the bigger penis. What has he done for the average American on the street? Before you mention employment rate, Trump is not responsible for that. Can you point to at least one bill or policy he has done on that? The employment rate has been increasing before Obama left.

To answer your other mentions, I don't live in America. However, I know that every working European pays its dues to the economy, why should big tech corporations be exempted?

Trump didn't build the economy. The economy was already recovering before he came in. You can confirm yourself

datasthmagirl:
I don't care about your anticapitalist and anti innovation ideology. The route is pretty simplistic: when you fail to be productive, blame your failure on your more productive peers and clamour for bigger and more intrusive government who can rob the productive businesses on your behalf and transfer the proceeds of such robbery to you.

But here's the newsflash: that idea of robbing Peter to help Paul is unsustainable.

Wait until those tech companies blacklist France in their global business model or push the cost of doing business in France back to French consumers and local businesses. Then you'd know that levying business revenue as opposed to taxing business profits is a terribly bad policy.

By the way, I don't even care what France does with it's policy direction. They will always get equal or 10x higher consequences for their choice. My qualms are with folks like you who hate on Trump for standing up for his people.

There's a reason America has remained the global HQ of innovations for decades. And they did not get their by levying the revenues of their entrepreneurs.

Thanks to Mr. Trump, France (and all those like them) will keep messing up their innovation quotient until all the American feeding bottles get totally pulled away from their national mouths. Then they will beg and lobby for those businesses to come in.

grin grin grin grin

Are you that thick-brained? No wonder you watch Fox News?

Okay, let me set you right

O ye slave! I have nothing against the whiteman. I blame neither the whites not the blacks for it. Slavery was normal everywhere, it is unfortunate the way things turned out.

However, some slaves fought against the anti-slavery movement that is they fought for their white masters against those who care about their rights.

So when you are all about Trump, you are like those slaves fighting for their mastersgrin. Have you worshipped Trump's today?


nelsonoba:
.......but you will definitely be surprised when you decide to study your history and learn that it was Christian white men who formed the pressure group called 'The Quakers' and they fought the government to make laws that abolished slavery because they believed that according to the bible, ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL BY GOD.

It will also surprise you to know that it was also white men lead by a Republican President known as Abraham Lincoln that went to war for over 3years with some other white men in Southern USA who refused to accept the abolition of slavery. If these mainly Republican white men had not been willing to go to war and fight for the black man to be free, slavery would have carried on and there is every likelihood that our African brothers would have continued selling our fellow blacks to the whites. So next time you want to say evil about the whiteman and how they were oppressing blacks as slaves in the past, stick these two things into your head;

1) IF OUR FELLOW BLACK BROTHERS HAD NOT SOLD THEIR BROTHERS INTO SLAVERY, THE WHITE MEN WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN THE SLAVES TO BUY

2) IF THE WHITEMAN DID NOT DECIDE TO GO TO WAR TO STOP SLAVERY, IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT SLAVERY WOULD HAVE CONTINUED AND YOU YOURSELF MAY HAVE BEEN A SLAVE TODAY!

US entered the war two years late. Don't worry, the allied forces were already holding their own.


Penboy:
Bros stop talking like this nau. All those countries you mentioned had all fallen during the war. France was over. In fact, France became a battle ground. Britain was strained; barely surviving from trade deals between USA. Or what dyou think prompted Japan's action and US entry into the war? Even your might Russia was hit.

Bros re-read your history.

Where exactly do you get your news from? It's very obvious you are highly uninformed or misinformed. I can almost be certain that you watch too much CNN or BBC for news. Let me give you one tip to help your life; If you want to live in the real world and see things as they truly are, AVOID CNN, MSNBC, BBC AND ABC News. Any news you get from these networks is not INFORMATION, but mere NARRATIVES! They are only interested in broadcasting what they want people to think, not what happened. I stopped watching CNN since 2017, and my life has been better since.

Watch your Mueller and see for yourself what he did when he was questioned in congress

Lol...your type are the ones that stick their head in a heap of sand and pretend everything is Uhuru. You seem to think Cooporations are moral entities that would do their fair share, sorry to announce they only do when there are regulatory checks in place to force them to do so. These companies for years now have been using the fact that their businesses have limited physical presence to milk the systems dry.

Political motivations you say? I hope you are one of those 1% who currently hold much of the world's wealth else that statement seems a lot pathetic to hear from someone outside that bracket.

Go read the Oxfam reports on tax havens and see how billions are been subverted yearly thus undercutting governments performances in most countries on delivering quality of life to their citizens. Ireland alone makes $90 billion from taxing tech companies like Apple who have their EU headquarters there but 95% of those revenues by such comes from outside of Ireland and is mostly other EU countries.

Just to simplify it for you Google is busying harvesting people's data to sell services. At the end of the fiscal year Google Nigeria would be declaring 50,000 naira profit while the revenue from Nigeria is like 50 billion naira. Ask Google Nigeria and they would claim the 50billion revenues was used to pay the image rights to the parent company for using their names and services in Nigeria. shocked grin In their books and in the eyes of the current tax laws that would be seen as buying of mechandise for the business and such can't be taxed they may even get tax reliefs for such if their consultants are extremely good.


That is an unsustainable situation. Most countries are waking up to such now and it won't take time before others level up. I am not a fan of any country. I am a follower of commonsense. Would support Trump if the taxes are sensible and not just a retaliatory one.
Foreign AffairsRe: President Macron Of France Is A Fool! - Trump by Sterope(f): 2:58pm On Jul 27, 2019
I really can't help you. For you to actually think that Trump is responsible for this economy is very laughable.

What baseless court cases? The same cases that were not enough to stop him from running as President? I beg leave matter, all na noise.

And no, I don't follow Trump in the news but somehow, d dude has infiltrated every news site I am usually interested in.

Poor people go to the bank to save money n go home to think about what they will use the money for. A rich man comes to the bank to collect their money and run his biz.

Trump has no business skills but somehow the American economy has being at his best ever. His juju must be very strong.

Tax is meant for the poor n not for the rich, the rich folks know how to push their tax due date ahead. Sad reality that u should let sink in. Don't let your hate become an obsession.

And let's reduce this "if" statement. If Trump hadn't won the election. If I hadn't graduated with third class. If I hadn't had this misfortune. All na story

You are so much in love with the orange man.

You should try and remember that Trump doesn't give a damn about you or making your life better. Total support for a bigot, racist and misogynist shows you suffer from a lot of irredeemable issues. I can't help you darling. You are a lost cause.



datasthmagirl:
You watch too much CNN.

CNN in particular (and left wing media in general) is not good for your mental health.

Try to diversify your media consumption.

These folks are setting you all up again for major meltdown in 2020. What you are doing now is the very reason folks were literally weeping on live TV and in the streets back in 2016 - just as it's now happening in the UK about brexit.

Help yourself if you can. Question the media biases and propaganda. Counter your favorite news sources brain washing machine with opposing views. Always try to have a grasp on all sides of the divides. But stick with vetted facts and realities even when they demolish your preferred or popular narratives. Refuse to be brainwashed by idiotic propaganda machines and their propagandists pretending to be journalists or media outlets.
Foreign AffairsRe: President Macron Of France Is A Fool! - Trump by Sterope(f): 2:00pm On Jul 27, 2019
Do you follow the news on Trump? Do you know that Mueller recently said that the reason Trump had not been indicted is because he is a sitting president? Are you aware of his court cases? Do you have a picture of Trump hanging on your wall that you watch daily and hourly? And no, I don't know the businessmen who respects Trump because the only people, businessmen or not that respect this man, are those who are in support of him to begin with. I really don't know what you are talking about when you use Trump and respect for his business skills in the same sentence. Even very few of the executives of these businesses even give a damn about Trump to begin with...like I asked earlier, have you ever followed Trump in the news?

Is it fair for that woman who sells you fish to pay tax from the little she earns while the big corporation go tax free? Is her business not putting food down on the table? Do you know how tax is calculated especially in the developed countries? Does tax affects their inability to generate enough profit for their stakeholders?

How do you expect the Government to run? Who provides the environment for these businesses to run?


AgreatMan:
These are the biggest companies in the world, yes, they empower more people than other companies, even Governments.

Trump didn't do money ritual, there is no corruption case hanging on his head, the US government didn't give him some special favours. So yes, he deserves some respect from his billions.

Have you ever done any business (not salaried work), that made u 200k before? If u truly have, u will salute a fellow businessman. No, I am not an asslicker, but I definitely respect him for his business and negotiation skills. Even his strongest critics shut their mouth when it comes to these two things.

Where exactly in the report was it stated that those US companies don't pay tax abroad? Every single business in the world ( French or US) WILL do anything legal to pay a lower tax. Don't let anyone fool u.

If US exports $36B worth of goods to France, and France exports $52B, who has really need the other? If u are in a position of power, u can never allow anyone to bully u, well, except maybe if your name is Nigeria.

The US legislature is already tinkering with their law to allow them impose tarriffs on $52B worth of French imports. Watch the space in the next 3 months. Don't worry, this not our nigerian legislature, it will come to pass.
Foreign AffairsRe: President Macron Of France Is A Fool! - Trump by Sterope(f): 12:34pm On Jul 27, 2019
The man that went bankrupt how many times again? Is it this same man that goes back on his contracts and stifle those who have worked for him? The way you lots worship Trump is very peculiar.

FYI, it is not only France. UK is also considering taxing these businesses. They are not the only businesses that provides employment or has a large number of employees for people, yet these businesses pay their taxes to the Government.


AgreatMan:
Na so. In on paragraph you compared Trump with a kid, next you went ahead to call other nairalanders stupid n "dolts." You were pained that Trump called France's €500M tax on American companies foolish, yet you ended up do out worse insults.

Next you went ahead to give a one sided argument and ignorantly brought in Twitter, Uber n IG into the argument when they were not even affected by the tax.

But let's even stick to your one sided Uber argument. Do u know the amount of drivers n their families Uber feeds? How about the car dealers? How about the customs duty paid to Nigerian government as a result of increased demands for certain car brands? What about drivers licences n vehicle papers paid for? What about the vehicle insurance fees even if it is usually 5k?

What about car mechanics that theoretically have more cars to fix? What about the family of those mechanics? What about the spare parts seller?

We have not even talked about how it affects crime rate.

.these are all monies brought into the nigerian economy because of Uber n Taxify alone. I know a car dealer who has sold 13 Toyotas n lexus in the last 4 months.

If u want to tax, tax but Don't just target 4 US companies. Trump is not a politician, he is a businessman n he will definitely find it harder to swallow.

It takes 2 years to formalise divorce in court among the living. A minimum of 2 years should be observed too for the dead spouse.
