anonimi:I updated my response with the information below. I believe this is NOT about OGD vs Onabanjo. So let's focus on what you like or dislike about OGD. timbabng: |
No Administration is perfect. However, OGD was a sound and visionary leader. He provided cheap housing for civil servants, focused on education, created jobs, built the new secretariat, stable power project, saved collapsing institutions like gateway hotels, Olumo Rock, and others. |
A venomous snake bite is never “ordinary.” Death can occur wuthin 30 minutes from severe neurotoxic complications, as tragically happened in her case. Anyone who thinks a federal hospital in Nigeria does not have anti-venom does not know what they are saying. |
lawani:I think you are mixing it up. Tax on Value added production is removed from what's remitted to the FIRS. If you bought raw materials for N1000 and paid N75 VAT. You used the raw materials to make a product of N3000 that you eventually sold. The VAT on that N3000 is N225 but you will remove your initial N75 VAT and remit only N150 to the government. |
ernieboy:Maybe you need to do some research yourself. For goods, they use final delivery location. For services, they use location. If you fly from Lagos airport, your VAT goes to Lagos. etc. |
lawani:VAT is a consumption tax, so the final consumer bears the cost. Companies act as VAT agents for FIRS. When a company sells goods or services, charges 7.5% VAT on its invoice, Customer pays price + VAT, Company remits the VAT to FIRS. The location of the consumer is where the VAT is recorded for. The company pays their own VAT only when they purchase things too. |
Tenses:Correction. VAT contribution by state is calculated based on place of consumption/economic activity, not origin of production. It is not calculated by where the company’s head office is, but mainly by where the transaction happens. For example: A bank headquartered in Lagos. - Customer uses the service in Kano - VAT is credited to Kano, not Lagos Your statement on Igbo population in Lagos adding to Lagos VAT is correct, but a huge percentage of the VAT generated goes to the states that did not contribute as much. e.g. South East States and the other regions. Which means, Igbo people in Lagos are indirectly contributing to their region. So, it's a win win for everyone. There's no need to be emotional about it. That's why Nigeria is better together if properly managed. |
You can't defend with fake statistics. According to NBS, the south east has the highest unemployment rate in Nigeria, with Abia being the highest at 18.7% in 2023. |
CorperKola:What’s wrong with that? Even U.S. aircrafts are routinely serviced in Poland, the UK, Germany, and other European countries. Looking down on your own people because of misplaced assumptions is what’s called an inferiority complex. It’s time to grow out of it. |
Kobojunkieee:Well, I specifically mentioned classified documents in my response. It does not matter if "Declassified" was not used, it doesn't change the meaning of the word. And subsection 3 of Section 1 won't save the officer if charged. I wish the accused and his lawyers good luck with their case. He's going to need a miracle......or at best he'll become a snitch, and snitch he's way out of prison ![]() |
Kobojunkieee:"Declassified" in the context of my response is just the definition in English, which means "no longer a secret". The FOIA does not need to specifically use the word "Declassified" to describe a Classified (secret) document that has been approved for public consumption. But when a classified document is released, it becomes "Declassified". Will also go to prison unless : Yes, if the public officer is indicted for releasing a document without authorization, the only exceptions are listed in the FOIA.
|
Kobojunkieee:It's still the same thing. FOIA requests for classified documents must be approved by the public institution. In his own case, it was secretly leaked to him. And you are correct about further distribution of any documents "already approved" and received through a FOIA request. Once it has been approved, it becomes declassified, and can be distributed. But remember, he got the documents through the backdoor, not through a FOIA request, which makes it illegal. The public officer that leaked it will also go to prison unless he/she can prove it was done because of impending danger to public health and safety or due to fraud / abuse of authority in the system, as outlined in the act. |
Kobojunkieee:Again, you must not try to access Classified information, let alone distribute it. It's a criminal offence. The corrupt practices and other related offences act does not protect criminals, and in this case, the guy was distributing classified information and not whistleblowing any corrupt practices being perpetrated by any agency. |
Kobojunkieee:This has nothing to do with that. FOIA is not absolute in any part of the world. You can't access all information, else enemies of the state will have an advantage.
|
Kobojunkieee:It clearly states "classified". Classified documents are not covered by the FOIA, and not only did he obtain classified documents, he reproduced and distributed it. He's going to jail. |
David Hundeyin likes feeding his minions with what they want to hear. I can see 9 counts, which includes transmission of classified memos/documents. If he's innocent, why did he try to flush his phone down the toilet as indicated in count 9? He's going to spend a lot of time in jail. |
Vicana:What they are saying is this: His NYSC has Onwubuase while his UNN certificate has Onwubuasi. His followers need to know that errors do happen, and it can happen to anyone. |
Whizzdom:You guys already spent 1m?! Well, it's a criminal offence and jail time is possible if you don't get money back. |
DPlanB1:Anybody that promises you work visa to Canada is a scammer. The painful part of this experience is not your 1m, it's the fact that there's a high probability of you getting banned for 5 years if they find out that he used a fake employment letter or forged documents for your application. The ban will not only affect your chances of ever entering Canada but will also affect future applications to other countries. Right now, get him arrested immediately. Retreive your application details from him (I'm 100% sure he didn't give you the login details) and withdraw your visa application, if possible!! Get your profile details before you get your money, it's more important! |
Africans looking for change vote for footballers, Nepa Bill holders and even musicians. Then the Lamentations begin. Funny people. |
Nigerians are in love with their oppressors. Anybody hoping for a new set of politicians in 2023 is just dreaming...... |
The real Boko Haram would never free a Christian let alone a pastor. In the video, he called them "Boko Haram Insurgents", they would never give a script like that to their victim. |
Commentor:Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder (Tribal tensions, Poverty, Unemployment, Terrorism, Banditry), any spark will be a disaster. Censoring social media is like taking away a matchbox, when we have other things like lighters, stoves around us. They should focus on gradually evacuating the gun powder. The average igbo man does not trust an Hausa man and vice versa, the Yoruba man does not trust both tribes. But miraculously, our politicians are getting along. Those countries with extreme social media regulation, like China, North Korea don't have the problems we have. Nigeria needs to focus on the problems now. |
Commentor:Where did I mention the leaders misusing it? Nobody wants to see Nigeria burn, at least I don't. What you don't realise is that censoring social media will not prevent the country from burning. The root cause of the problem, which they are failing to address is what's going to burn the country. "Many of you"...........herein lies the problem of Nigeria. |
OZOnNengiTheory:We have to carefully look at things before jumping into conclusions. Nigeria has had it's fair share of riots and protests, but this last one speaks volumes. I saw videos of people removing hand railings from buildings, removing roofing sheets, removing metal rods from windows, stripping car parts and taking them away to sell! There is only one explanation for their actions; "HUNGER" and "HOPELESSNESS". The ruling class is more concerned about regulating social media, which translates to taking away freedom of speech because it affects them. But they never ever talk about the root cause of the problem. Because majority of us are not in the lower class, we think the actions of the looters are crazy, but when a grown man takes his kid to steal used mattress and a pregnant woman is kicking down the door to a food store, then there's more to it. If things don't change for good soon, the middle and upper class citizens of Nigeria will be at the mercy of the lower class when anarchy starts. |
Reading the comments on here, Nigerians love other Nationalities calling them and their country trash. It baffles me...... ........because the same people voted for Buhari twice, what exactly were they expecting to happen? |
I hope the op is practising the same "fingers are not equal" theory on himself. In case someone wants to help his life with a nice gift, like a car or house, he should decline for fear of reciprocation. |
If you have malaria & covid-19 at the same time, your chances of beating covid-19 will be reduced. So, doctors will want to help your immune system kill off the malaria parasite so that it can concentrate on the bigger threat. |

I need the waec scretch card in abk. Do u still have extras? |
Hello OP, You cannot call it tampering because all parcel/packages can be opened by customs. They have every right to open your package without your permission for several reasons. As long as they don't damage/misplace the contents, then it's within the law. They can also place a custom duty charge on your package depending on the value. If you imported an iPhone x for example, I'm sure you would have paid higher than N7800. This happens in developed countries too. They now have offices in the general post offices across the nation. So, before you order something expensive, check the price in the local market first. |
