Politics › Re: Finance Bill: Senate Mulls Taxing DSTV Premium Bouquet by ThierryJay: 4:21pm On Dec 03, 2020
Angelfrost:
Your people don't seem to understand basic economics and commerce.... DSTV will never be affected directly. The consumer will pay whatever tax the idiot leaders impose on them.
Lol, they are not my people o. I can never imagine myself in that group. Thoughtless bunch.

Though even DSTV will feel the impact cos it will chase the price sensitive users to the lower grade bouquets thereby reducing their revenue.

They are about to chase an employer of labor out of the country thereby increasing the never-ending unemployment with their thoughtless attitude, no wonder they call them to rubber-stamp senate.
It's like many people don't understand that this proposal is not a direct tax on dstv as a company but rather on Subscribers to the dstv premium bouquet. Pls read the piece very well.

It's like a luxury tax that will be borne directly by the user when he subscribes to premium bouquet.

The likely implication is that many dstv users will simply avoid premium bouquet subscription, resulting in less revenue for DSTV and less direct tax for the same Government.

A very useless initiative in my humble opinion.

Sports › Re: Jorge Jesus: "Cristiano Has A Bit Of Maradona's Passion, But Messi Has None" by ThierryJay: 1:36pm On Dec 02, 2020
Absolute balderdash from Jorge Jesus. Messi is as passionate for football as ever. The fact that he doesn't express much emotion like Maradona and Cristiano does not mean he doesn't love the game with his heart. Messi that is reputed to always want to play even when he is not fully fit. He is reserved doesn't mean he doesn't have passion Olodo Jorge.

And passion does not even determine greatness. Steven Gerard is probably the most passionate EPL player ever but is not regarded as good as a less passionate Thierry Henry. So I don't know what this Portuguese imp is trying to achieve with the unintelligent comparison.
Celebrities › Re: Rapper Illbliss Declares Burna Boy "Greatest" Artist In Nigeria by ThierryJay:
Being the greatest goes beyond being nominated for Grammy awards. Although it is a significant statistical factor, it cannot be the only criteria as it only implies that Burna boy's songs have a higher international appeal than Wizkid's and Davido's. If Burna wins the Grammy, then he may have a case.

In terms of overall musical brand appeal,massiveness of fanbase and sheer superstar celebrity aura, Burna is still below Wizkid and Davido at the moment. If he keeps up his current trend for a few more years however, he will likely overtake both. However, the truth is Bboy is a bit difficult to like when compared to the ease of fans' attraction to the other two.

Sports › Re: Diego Maradona Dead by ThierryJay:
Noooooo!

Haa! El Diego, arguably the greatest footballer of all time. No other footballer wore a heart of courage and passion for football more than the Don himself. I can't believe El Pibe De Oro (the golden foot) is no more.

My cheat player for old all-star team in Ps1 and Ps2.

The man with a convoy of opposing players always running after him. Arguably the most technical player of all time.

A massive pillar of my second beloved country Argentina is gone. The famous "Hand of God" is now in God's hands.

Adieu and RIP to the great one

LUGBE:
Try to understand too, the speaker requested for securities and it was granted so he will take charge of them while under him. - This is an assumption. His office as speaker officially has security aides assigned to it and while he may give them stipends, he does not take charge of them as they are not under him but the DSS.



Have you asked yourself while police withdrew security men attached to some Nigerians recently after the SARS protest.- They withdrew them to boost the number of security personnel available to police the volatile environs in endSars aftermath. I don't understand how this is relevant to our discourse.

The family can sue whoever they want including the speaker, they can even join the security outfit.
- This is absolutely correct. However, the courts also reserve the right to throw out any suit that lacks legal merit.

So legally,that is how it works.- Not so sure abt this as it reads to me more like, "So emotionally, that is how it works"

LUGBE:
Which law are you quoting, ITK. If you dont know you ask.

What happen to vicarious liability then.
Try to understand. Vicarious liability pertains to a situation where a principal or an employer is held liable for wrongdoing committed by his employee/agent in the course of their agreed duties.

Gbaja is neither the principal nor the employer of the security aide that was merely assigned to him by virtue of his office. That's the role of the DSS, who pays the security aide from their budget funded by the FG.

So vicarious liability in this instance can only apply to DSS and not Gbaja.

If a car hire services driver kills someone while driving you somewhere, you would not be held responsible, the car hire company may be however on the principle of vicarious liability.

Capische?

You are right on. I am not a lawyer but I think a competent lawyer would have done things behind the scene instead of advertising it in the open. The fact that your child was just killed in the hand of people that suppose to protect him bring you goodwill but when the first thing was to be asking for money you loose goodwill. Courtesy and good manner require Femi Gbaja.. to pay visit and empathized with the family but no law require him to do anything. They have shut down anything the speaker could have done out of the generosity of his heart and turn it into an adversarial relationship when they engaged a PDP lawyer to demand money from him. If they had work behind the scene with independent or APC lawyer they would have had Gbaja in their corner demanding higher compensation for them from the federal government who is the actual employer of the culprit.

As for those saying #500M is too much, there is no amount of money that can buy human life. The man was a newspaper vendor today he could become a LG chairman tomorrow or be the father of Nigeria future president or the grand father to America future president.
True. Maybe they wanted to seize the moment to cash in since Gbaja appeared vulnerable and accessible(not a bad thing for a Govt employee to be reachable). The thing is directing the suit at Femi alone will make them lose some goodwill as you've mentioned.

In my opinion, any decent lawyer will get Femi off the hooks, as he does not control the aides terms of reference/code of conduct. I just hope that he will still be mature enough to render the help he already promised to the deceased's family irrespective of legal squabbles.
Politics › Re: Ifeanyichukwu Okereke's Family Demands ₦500 Milion From Gbajabiamila by ThierryJay: 4:52am On Nov 25, 2020
Strictly speaking, N500million isn't too much to ask for to compensate for a human life lost through gross misconduct. However, it is not a realistic demand in Nigeria's context.

The real question is about who should bear the cost. Is it Gbaja or the DSS? Can the idiotic operative be said to be under Gbaja's control or the DSS' duties at the time of the incidence? These are the questions the lawyers have to debate on.

To illustrate better, if an uber driver or a driver for a car hire company, hits a pedestrian to death in the course of driving you to your destination which you are paying for, is it you, the driver or Uber/Car hire company that is liable to be held responsible? I am sure no nairalander will accept responsibility for the death.

I think the matter will be settled out of court eventually maybe at about N20 - 40million in 9ja style.

You are actually right, it was an afterthought. I sincerely wanted most people to view the post as objectively as they could due to the overwhelming political bias many nairalanders exhibit on issues like this which is largely responsible for the constant reduction of the collective average IQ of Nairaland unfortunately.

The pics of the driver in the 3rd photo shared on the front page does not look anything like the picture of the guy you shared. The dead driver looks like a middle-aged man as opposed to the youthful picture you posted.

Politics › Re: Zainab Ahmed: Nigeria Will Exit Recession Soon by ThierryJay:
Well, the economic indices at the moment actually lend support to what the finance minister said.

The main driver is that somehow and despite all the much publicized negatives, there are still a lot of ongoing economic activities that are stimulating spending (especially in the fmcg and IT/telecomms/fintech sectors). The implementation of the finance act 2020 should further strengthen this course by stimulating more spending within the economy e.g lower duties on cars, lower minimum tax rate, exemption of small companies from income tax and VAT.

Also, more Nigerian diasporans are remitting monies to their people here in lieu of coming home for the holidays.

So I am optimistic that we should indeed exit the recession statistically by first quarter in 2021.

The big question now is the Nigerian riddle ie what goes up may never come down. I fear that even if the parameters such as transportation costs, forex and supply chain logistics improve, the current high price levels might never return to their pre-covid status.

Note: I am not pro-any political party.

It's like people don't understand that it's Coca-Cola/NBC that donated the funds to the hospitals. It has nothing to do with Government.

It's also like the Yenefer moniker who has been in denial of the Lekki incidence does not know that this news compliments the CNN report about people being shot by Soldiers, as a number of the 185 beneficiaries were gunshot victims from the night of the Lekki-shooting.

1. Ronaldo De Lima - El fenomeno (nothing more to add)
2. Marco Van Basten - Greatest non-speedy number 9 striker ever. Won Ballon dor at least twice.
3. Gabriel Batistuta - Ronaldo de Lima's arch rival in the Serie A with Fiorentina. Baddest shooter with a rocket cannon shot. Only scorer of two hattricks in different world cups.

Note, I've excluded some badass number nines of old which were probably better than some of the above listed guys. These are Ferenc Puskas, , Eusebio(black panther) & Gerd Muller. Why? 1985 is my cut off period. I don't also consider Romario as a number 9, else, he'll be second after Ronaldo.

peacekante:
You don't love Henry more than I do, but please I beg you in the name of God, do not compare Henry to delinma again. That man is the greatest striker of all time and his by far the 4th greatest striker of all time.

Delinma wasn't even a striker but an all round footballer. While all players I have seen have like 3-5 moves to beat their marker, delinma has more than 15 different ways to beat his marker.

Delinma is above Henry in every ways. What delinma did at the world cup in 2902 when he went two years injury and came back less than 3months to the world cup to score 8goals is never going to be repeated again
I agree with you that De Lima is better and greater than Henry, however not in every way was he above. Henry was a better passer/playmaker and had more speed than R9. I may also say Henry had better juggling and volley technique than de Lima.

I think prime Henry (2002-2006) was slightly better than post-2002 R9. However Pre-1999 monstrous R9 was well a cut above prime Henry

Etoo and Henry, who had a greater career as a striker?
Whenever, Eto wins a world cup, a confederations cup (as player of the tournament), an Euro cup, enters another world cup final, comes 2nd in World player of the year 2 times, and wins the top Leagues' player of the season three times, then you can say his career matches that of Henry.
