They have defenders like Lenglet, Pique and Araujo.

Are those ones players?

I call them calamities in the waiting. Araujo looks promising though, but he needs to be in a better more-defensive minded set-up.

Playmaking role ... as assist no de work again, they hv shifted to playmaking... shots on target loading... is he the first player that will loose in the dying minutes...tot u guys said he is humble and calm and can't hurt a fly ...

What exactly are you yapping about? Don't you have a totally anonymous and ineffectual Ronaldo today to worry about? but no, you still dey chook mouth into Messi matter cho cho cho when you get CR7 bamboo for your eye. Oh I forgot, na all eyes on Messi on top say na im be the GOAT.

Begone madame. I dont have your time tonight.

Barca has a big problem - they have a defence that simply cannot withstand sustained pressure from any decent opposition. This is what is frustrating Messi. How can you not hold on to a lead with only a few minutes to the end of the match against a decent opponent (fine, they beat madrid a few days ago but that should have been a warning to Barca). If Koeman doesn't address this issue drastically, the annual scandalous UCL defeat will be yet another certainty come February or March.

I guess there's always a first time for everything. For Messi, it's his first red card for Barca. It's sad cos he was very active in this game in his playmaking role. Congrats to Bilbao.

RIP sir. Wow, The second wave of Covid is wreaking havoc closer to home o. Nigerians who say Covid in Nigeria is a scamdemic are unbelievably ignorant. They think they are wise but their ignorance is unparalleled. There are so many ways to puncture many of the stupid arguments they raise. How you leave something so obvious to now hold on to unfounded theories beggars reason. How are they different from those typically demented conspiracy theorists?

Almost all kids are like that if you allow them.

But me I noticed that watching cartoons really helped to build the English vocabulary of my 5 yr old boy far quicker than only school efforts would have done. Its because of that I still allow him to watch it well as long as his grades are not dropping.

Beverlyjean:
Y wudnt he say it?? He lost neymar and Ronaldo...is there any other beneficial player in la liga apart from messi??

Why do you like playing ostrich in the sand? He actually included Neymar and Ronaldo in his comparison based on their time in La liga. His actual words were:

"A player like Neymar gives you a following in countries that look out for him, but he's not an essential element, not even Cristiano Ronaldo was. Lionel Messi, on the other hand, is an essential element because he's the heritage of La Liga"

I'm sure you'd still try to spin something irrelevant and twist his words.

Beverlyjean:
All those players died in la liga cos the league is dead ... immobile , lukaku, ibrahimovic , mikhitarian , de ligt , are all better than those trash players u mentioned... they are more impactful in world of football now than those trashy players that have not scored up to 20 goals combined since they joined la liga ... and barca have always been disgraced in the CL for the past 3-4 seasons ...not a new thing

Lol, you just like unnecessary arguments even when things are obvious, FYI, Jaio Felix of Atletico Madrid alone is better and more highly rated than all the players you listed. Immobile does not count for comparison as he was in the Serie A before CR7 joined, so don't expand the goalpost.

You should learn the habit of not arguing against facts, it makes you come across as not so smart. The fact is Barca, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid combined have fared better than Juventus, Inter-milan and Atalanta in the UCL since CR7 joined Serie A. Now that's a fact which leads to the obvious interpretation that La liga teams are still better than Serie A teams. Bringing up irrelevancies is actually irrelevant.

Your points are very watery, but you have the right to keep them running.

Beverlyjean:
La liga became dominant because of ronaldo and not messi... ronaldo won it 4 times in 9years and appeared in 8 semis during the same years... when he was in England, the British dominated CL , when he left epl became average in the CL thru ronaldos 6yrs in EPL , English teams appeared 6 times ( 5 consecutive finals) while Spain only appeared twice in the sane period but when he joined la liga, Spanish teams appeared 8 times...infact he is the only player that has appeared in CL finals that had 2 teams from the same country in two different leagues

The Oga of La liga has said that Messi is the heritage of La liga, that he is the most important asset to La liga since he started playing. Who are you to challenge that or say otherwise? Do you know more than Javier Tebas, who is a renowned real madrid fan??

Mehn, the audacity is amusing.

Beverlyjean:
So tell me the players that joined la liga?? That league is dead ... ur goat and best la liga team in the past decade based on number of league titles win was disgraced by bayern , the other time they were disgraced by Liverpool

Are you sure you want us to go this route?

Eden Hazard, Ousmane Dembele, Coutinho, Jaio Felix, all joined La liga after CR7 left RM and are all more highly rated than all those who joined Serie A after CR7 joined.

No matter how dead La liga is, it cannot be as dead as the Serie A which is in its worst period ever. At least Barca has reached semi-finals and UCL QF since. No Serie A team has gone beyond QF since CR7 joined and actually most don't make it out of the group stages in the recent seasons. Tell me what can be deader than that madame. The one-off scandalous defeats Barca has experienced cannot erase this fact.

Beverlyjean:
Keep on living in delusions....la liga is finished....serie a attracted more stars abroad than la liga...how many top players has joined la liga in the past couple of years, compared to serie a

If EPL flops/rejects/Old cargoes like Lukaku, Sanchez, Ramsey and Eriksson are those you are referring to as top players, then I fear for your affinity for mediocrity. An average league like the Serie A truly suits you and your ilk then.

DesChyko:
That comment was made (in 2018) after Ronaldo and Neymar left the league so it is in order.

- This comment by Tebas in 2019 absolutely nullifies your assertion: "A player like Neymar gives you a following in countries that look out for him, but he's not an essential element, not even Cristiano Ronaldo was. Lionel Messi, on the other hand, is an essential element because he's the heritage of La Liga". I have nothing to add because it is from the source, the oracle of La liga itself.

DesChyko:
If Messi currently is La Liga's greatest asset and Messi hinted (in 2019) that he misses Ronaldo's presence in the league, what does La Liga batting an eyelid have to do with anything? Or were you expecting a sendforth ceremony and public holiday?

Maybe not a sendforth, but if you are resigning from your workplace and no one persuaded you to stay, then it shows you are not seen as adding value there. That's common knowledge in the corporate ecosystem.

DesChyko:
I think it took Messi's gratitude to stop him from leaving. He said this repeatedly that he didn't want to leave 'in that manner'.

Bros, it was a prolonged saga. Barca and la liga were running helter skelter to persuade Messi to change his mind. That sends a strong signal.

DesChyko:
People who argue that La Liga is the greatest league usually use their superior UCL wins to drive home the point. La Liga holds 18 UCL titles till date. 10 of those came before Messi made his debut.

I do not dispute this but it also doesn't nullify the argument. At least 8 came during Messi's era, which the EPL cannot match (5 UCLs), so indeed in the past 20 years, the La liga has been a better league than the EPL and the Serie A/Bundesliga.

Beverlyjean:
Thst was during the Ronaldo days....since Ronaldo left , that league died ....instead, the serie A is now the league to watch....thats the effect of one player

Unfortunately this illusion lives only in your head. You cannot know more about la liga than the la liga president himself Tebas who declared that Messi is La Liga's greatest asset. Only CR7 fans shifted to Serie A which is expected.

When CR7 wanted to leave Madrid, both RM and La liga authority didn't bat an eye-lid to at least even pretend to not want him to leave. He was even criticized for being selfish.

When Messi wanted to leave, it took the prolonged collaboration of the league authority and Barca to fashion out a way to stop him from leaving. You know why? They know who really matters to the league.

Messi was and is La liga's soul.

Messi does not need any award to validate that he is the top of the pile when it comes to playmaking, dribbling or goal scoring.

It's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf.

No other player comes close in all-round ability to deliver.

The greatest player in football history

obonujoker:
At the beginning of the ucl 2004 season.... Would you have placed Porto amongst the teams to reach quarter or semi finals??

Oga, Porto isn't part of the traditional big teams even though they had very good players then and a very good coach in Mourinho then. But this isnt my argument with you so why are you shifting goalposts??

Despite my acknowledgement of their good players and coach, many football experts believe Porto benefited from the fall of the big weight teams to other teams after the second round and Porto did not play any big team from the QF to the final (Lyon, Deportivo and Monaco). That's why there's been a big "what if" question mark about the merits of Porto's UCL win in 2004.

obonujoker:
Lies.... No player from Porto FC was in top 5 in each footballing position on the pitch.... Don't try to belittle Mou champions league win with Porto... It was a great feat...

Porto wasn't even top 10 team in the world then before the ucl win...

Your response is totally out of sync with what we are discussing. Are you sure you are not mistaking my post for sb else's? What I'm putting to you is that all the big teams flopped/were not in form during 2003/2004 UCL. You said they didn't and I'm saying they did, with facts. Then you go off-tangent with the above.

obonujoker:
Being dumped out of the competition, doesn't mean they weren't the best teams then....

Don't shift goalposts, so if Man utd gets dumped out of the FA Cup QF by Aston Villa, are you telling me they haven't flopped in your own view?

In UCL 03/04, none of the traditional big teams made the semi-final, and you are saying they didn't flop after being dumped out by relative minnows. Of course, they were not the best (in-form) teams then, cos if they were, they'd be in the UCL latter stages.

It's obvious you are just trying to save face cos what you re saying must look ridiculous even to you. Don't worry I wont rub it in even if you admit

obonujoker:
You lie.

Man utd 2004
Arsenal 2004
Barcelona 2004
Madrid 2004
AC Milan 2004
Valencia 2004
Bayern 2004
Liverpool 2004

All having torrid time??

Barca fans though and lies

Bros you are the ignorant one here and that guy you quoted is actually right.

In 2003/2004 UCL, all the big teams flopped:

Real Madrid was eliminated by Monaco in the QF, Man utd was eliminated by Porto in the final match of the group stage.

AC Milan was dumped out by Deportivo La Coruna while Liverpool couldnt even make the UCL at all.

Bayern Munich was dumped out in the second round by an upcoming Ranieri's Chelsea team while Barcelona couldnt make it into the UCL knockout stages at all.

The 2004 UCL final was played between Porto and Monaco, (more like a group stage tie). In fact the semi-finalists were Porto, Deportivo, Monaco and Ranieri's Chelsea. Go figure.

So yes, again you are the ignorant one and stop sounding like you understand football very well when you have a poor knowledge of its history!

thebosstrevor1:
I never wrote about vat.

30% tax was for all business inrespective of size before.

Now some companies are exempted from paying company income tax in the new finance bill.

If your turnover is less than 25million, you don't have to file company income tax.

You are correct, I misinterpreted your comment my bad.

thebosstrevor1:
THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER. BUT THAT IS THE NEW FEDERAL TAX LAW

BEFORE IT WAS A FIXED RATE OF 30%

The state also have their own tax like Business Premises Tax.

Yes, business premises tax is 5k per location.

The 30% you are referring to is the corporate tax and not VAT. VAT was formerly 5% but now 7.5%.

For a business man who owns a bnx Nig Ltd., Assuming he has a starting capital of 2,000,000 in naira and at the end of the financial year he makes 500,000 in naira after paying salaries for himself and workers and every other things. How much of this 500,000 will government charge as tax and how is it calculated? Thanks as you provide answers

OP, Let me simplify this for you.

The only relevant information you provided to answer your question, is that you made a net profit of N500thousand. You did not provide info about your company's turnover. Therefore, I will clarify based on assumed scenarios.

If your annual revenue/turnover that generated the 500k profit is less than N25million, you are exempted from paying any corporate income tax to the Government on the 500k profit. This is because you will be considered as a small company.

If your turnover is between N25 - 100million, you will pay 20% of your taxable profit as corporate tax. (Note that taxable profit is not the same as your 500k here but is calculated based on specific rules in the tax law).

Also, note that your company is not required to pay any VAT (different from income tax) to the Government where your annual turnover is less than N25million. The current VAT rate is 7.5% and your company will only be required to include it in your invoices to your customers and remit it to the FG where your yearly revenue is above 25million.

not even the impeachment but jail term

Yes, with the ways things are going, jail's a real possibility especially if he is impeached.

I understand why he needed to do this broadcast. Both Dems and even GOP guys are really scared of what Trump can do in these remaining 12 days to sabotage the transition program on the 20th. He is considered to be that unhinged and powerful. That's why all the social media giants have clamped down on him.

Lol, watching through his broadcast, it's remarkable to see the complete turnaround in Trump's demeanour and message of hope and reconciliation for Americans. He even denounced his supporters who invaded the Capitol. See how he sounded so presidential and coherent in this message. Where did he keep all this in these past four years?

Omo as Baba don dey fear 2nd impeachment from 25th amendment, his brain was involuntarily reset to have sense.

In the end, twas much braggadocio about nothing. Congratulations "Sleepy Joe".

The reporting is unbelievably unprofessional. In one part it stated the Alhaja was killed in the bush. In another part, the woman was shot was hospitalized and not dead. Very disjointed crude journalism.

xenastar:
Bros even if you baff use towel clean your whole body, dirty go still comot. Dont touch your raw poop, are you a baby?

Should that now be an excuse for harboring stinking dirt in your body? What do you mean don't touch raw poop, wont your hands become clean when you wash them with soap and sanitize? As a mother, are you telling me your hand will never touch your baby's poop when cleaning (even with wipes, there's still contact sometimes) I see that you are mistaking your personal sentiments for a logical choice.

So pray tell between the two people below, who's more hygienic?

1st person: cleans up buttocks with water (or water and soap), washes hand thoroughly with soap and water. Result: Both ass and hands are clean
2nd person: Uses tissue to clean up, washes hands thoroughly. Result: Hands are clean with dirty smelly ass.

Except you are a dumbo, the answer is a no-brainer

StacyO:
Lol

Why wet the tissue paper??

Lol, see my earlier comment where I tagged you. Dry tissue still leaves a lot of shit smear on the ass no matter how many times you use it.

Try it for yourself. After you've finished your normal tissue wiping business, wet another roll of tissue and wipe, you'd be surprised at what you've been harboring in between those beautiful cheeks all this while

masterP042:
I can't purposely directly touch shit all in the name of washing my ass after defecating. I rather use tissue and clean up, till there's no trace of shit on the tissue paper.
Water and soap may not even be used to wash hands after the whole process, and people risk e coli and other germs entering their body.
So if I'm in public and shit and washes. I'll put on my boxers on that wet ass.. I mean how will I feel. I can't mess up my trouser because I want to wash. Anything wey clean soft white tissue no clean, abeg leave am

I used to think like you regarding the emboldened part. The one day at the office, after wiping with tissue about 12 times (I finished over half the roll of big-sized tissue) at the thirteenth time, the tissue was as white after wiping as it was before entry. Something just nudged me to moisten another tissue roll and use. I did this and lo and behold the wet tissue was dark brown all over. The fact is after dry wiping with tissue, just know that there are still tons of shit left in your ass that the dry tissue cannot pick up whether you have hairy balls or not.

That singular experience made me switch to water. It is indisputably more hygienic than using tissue as it will remove all fecal matter. Of course you should wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water but Nigerians generally lack proper hand washing hygiene after toilet use and this applies to both tissue and water users. So it is not a distinguishing factor between both options.

For ladies saying use tissue and bath afterwards, my question is this, when bathing will you dip your hands into and wash the innermost part of the ass vigorously as one would have done immediately after pooing and rinsing with water? If this is not done, there'll be a lot of unwashed shit smear lodged in between those beautiful ass cheeks.

We don hear. I tested positive too in July but I came out of it with the help of God, despite the disappointment from PTF. I almost passed out. My left lung collapsed. It was a tough moment I can't wish my enemy should experience. He too will come out of it.

Bro you can shed more light on your experience bro on the frontpage of a subsequent Covid-19 related thread so that many Nairalanders that are saying its a scam and they dont know anybody that has caught it can be cured of their ignorance because it's really sickening how idiots will just open their mouth and boldly say "It doesn't exist" when one has had a first-hand encounter with the virus.
