......senior Obidients too use their juniors' heads as stepping stones to achieve their prayer; favour for them and their families under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.

Strange no one noticed that both maths didn't add up. That should have been the first red flag

Ellexy:
There's a reason I asked that because you Batists are all hypocrites. You are now suddenly criticizing Akpata because of reports he shared dollars during campaign abi... Where was your criticism when Bobo Chicago was making it reign in dollars during primaries?

Yen yen yen you hate lawyers... Mtchww

Another nonentity and semi literate who barely has comprehension capacity. Loudest in the room without any substance.

How is an NBA president which I referenced paying an inducement the same as a politician doing what a politician typically does

PS - I usually dont do back and forths but for some reason I was irritated reading your twaddle and had to respond so this would probably be my last word to you

OasisX:


500 × 9 = 4500
4500 × 6 = 27,000
27,000 × 4 = 108,000

Simple arithmetic bro.

Funny one.

I thought the standard is usually 40 hours weekly

raumdeuter:
On the contrary I actually like them. Life is not personal, its a game of winners and losers. The fiercest enemies have been known to become friends when their interests align. And best friends become enemies

Being soulful and emotional about things can become a weakness

Any point and every point can be right or wrong depending on how you view it and how you can argue it

They are like football coaches and not fans. They are there to win a game, they don't necessarily have to be fans of the club. They deploy any means necessary any lapse the law did not cover, any slip up can be used

Its simply a game of wits not who/what is right or wrong. Never lose guard at any time. Even when you think you have a slam dunk case

Success is not final, defeat is not fatal. Just research more and find a loophole

The bolded sound more like politics and not law. Explains why they correlate so much. Anyone who views them from such (political) lens will likely have no misgivings about them. A legal w**re who would scr*w anybody if the payment is right

But if you view law in semblance of justice and what (I think) the profession was set out to perform especially of the highest ethical standards, then maybe it might not add up.

Think about it this way, Just the same way the doctors take the hypocratic oath, the lawyers also take some sort of Lawyers "ethical" oath which I imagine the purpose isnt to twist the concept of "truth or justice" which I have come to find many law professionals indulge in.

Anyway, enough of my drivel about them. I'm likely going to the grave with my bias against them

raumdeuter:
Talking about Lawyer and dishonesty

We have a new call to the bar

https://www.nairaland.com/8021139/rotimi-amaechi-called-nigerian-bar

Politician, Pastor and now Lawyer.

Wike no go use law dey harrass am again plus no need to pay tribunal lawyers anymore when he can do the work himself

A soulless profession that thrives on opportunism.

Irl, they annoy me so much with the way they disconnect themselves from the actual events happenings, when there are actual active decisions being taken. The politicians have figured them out so well which is why they have so many of them at their beck and call

Value creation; zero. Only comes in when there's conflict and still end up obfuscating the whole thing

Ellexy:
Are you not a Batist?

Did you read what I posted?

What has criticizing a profession got to do with politics?

There's a reason I usually ignore your kind

In all of my years on earth, I have come to find lawyers as one of the most dishonest creatures to ever exist. Always posturing and standing for nothing.

Just take a look at what a (former) president of NBA is doing. Someone who's been in corporate law most of his career.

No wonder judgements has always been for sale in Nigeria. Shame!!!!

Theflint1:
Priced "properly", monthly rent is a decent deal for the tenant and landlord.

Well, only one party wields the power here

GloriousGbola:
Everywhere except lagos where it is a landlords market.

Every risk of seeing surge pricing in rents esp around Xmas.

Well in this case, The contracts or agreement stipulating the rent will be annual, only the payments will be monthly

TVM says monthly rent is way better. Shouldnt even be disputed.

Well except for the landlords

seankafor:
I've been hearing how dumb and embecililic these gorverment officials are.. it's of recent I've confirmed it..

A 6 month old toddler will do better than these morons..

Well I don't blame them, I blame binance for trying hard to please these demons in gorverment (not only Nigerian government) binance as an entity started very well and their core motives was to give power to the people through crypto.. they were biggest criticsof the government and their oligarchy..
I don't know what made them to start dancing and bending over for the gorverment to start fúckin them..

Most gorverment agencies pick binance as their easy targets, I don't know if it's because they (binance)have gotten so big and they need to cut their talea , or because binance has gotten so greedy hence deviating from their ab innitio memorandum of operations.. I don't know why binance sees the need to start cooperating with gorverment agencies of recent and that for sure hasn't gone down well with them
Russia, France, UK, USA, Nigeria..

I dont see other exchanges been fingered the way binance is been fingered..

You have exchanges with excess anyhowness like mexc where every shitcoins is been traded and listed.. you have htx, gate io, etc . None of these exchanges have ever been fingered for listing securities as tokens, but every now and then, binance gets fingered, either for listing securities, financing terrorism, or currency manipulation..

Worse still, since xz brought than sbf and his scam exchange ftx the USA has been fighting both cz and binance tooth and nail to revenge and reciprocate..

Binance has turned from the people friendly and non gorverment exchange we used to know to centralized gorverment control system.

It's such a shame if you ask me

What do you think of the dark web?

Cos I see a lot of analogy with what you have up there

larride:
I dont think US tax citizens that has permanently relocated out of the states. I might be wrong though.

Those they tax are those living in the US but working overseas.

Yes it does and based on your worldwide income too.

So long as you are still a citizen. Infact, the FATCA is a big deal globally

nihilistjnr:
Lol we go drop Nigerian citizenship for una immediately.

The only use I have for my Nigerian passport right now is to enter MMA, I don't even need it on the return trip.

Any Nigerian government that tries this will only be able to tax me on visa fees when I apply as a British citizen

There's actually no need to

Asides the US, Most countries tax their citizens based on residence. You'll only get taxed if you have spent at least 183 days in the country in a tax year.

Also in reality, its quite straightforward as there are usually tax treaties between most countries - Meaning you wont need to pay tax in one if you have paid in the other.

BlueRayDick:
If it's per head , then the government will make money . Look at Dangote group alone for example; there are enough expatriates who work with Dangote refinery & Petrochemicals , Dangote Fertilizers & chemicals , Dangote cement, Dangate Sinotruk West Africa etc . Dangote cement alone has 3 members on the board of directors that are foreigners.

Even in the finance sector there are venture capitalists and investment companies who employ CFA charter holders and qualified experienced actuaries as expatriates because we don't have enough Nigerians with those qualifications to do the job.

Highly doubt the bolded.

Nigeria has quite a large number of investment professionals. Also speaking as someone who's quite familiar with the industry, the expat market is largely of no use without a huge or even sound financial market which Nigeria doesnt even touch.

There's nothing sophisticated in the Nigerian Investment or capital market which I imagine would require the services of an expat. A transfer from the US/European based company with a Nigerian presence is what you are more likely to see

afrodoc2:
But how much will the whole money be? Money that one director in ministry can embezzle in one week. I hope there are other reasons beyond raising funds cos that money no go reach anywhere.

I doubt that it's the revenue drive nor do I think they'll get much out of it.

Companies can easily outsource the contract to a foreign entity and have the employee perform the same roles while not being engaged as an expatriate.

I know companies like deel have a Nigeria presence and exist for these kind of purposes. A lot of people in the tech ecosystem also use this kind of structure

Jodera:


You go see as dem go do as if dem no see am

If I ever become a quizmaster in this life, that question must feature 1 million times.

Who is the first and only player to win the ...... in Chelsea football club

afrodoc2:
_ok

U missed the point.

The song was actually in echo of those hey days with his wild flings as baba was always pro polygamy.

Using it as a dig with his wife cheating was why I brought it up - Seeing as what the song was for could have been a reason for it

afrodoc2:
It is what it is.

Lol.

Seems like the native doctor is also a polygamist

Jodera:
it's only when e reach medal you go claim say Jorginho carry am with Chelsea.

Flip the narrative and say Jorginho is instrumental to all those medals won since he's a starter and you'll start hearing stupid shalayes

You people gave Jorginho medal yen yen yen like say na academy or bench player

Ask them to name the only player from Chelsea to win the European Player of the Year medal.

Shame no one ever won it till the carry along came

afrodoc2:
Meanwhile person dey kpan him wife.

This life ehn, na akamara life.

He was sleeping with multiple women, I guess that was her way of rebelling

afrodoc2:
Poch wey i sabi like person wey sabi money. The guy is a supreme choke artist. If Klopp had subbed Liverpool Women in instead of those boys na iya Chelshit for still meet there.

I kept saying it when the useless board and boehly were propositioning him but Popi and his likes were saying differently.

All the useless theories about PSG to justify his hiring. Anyway, its good that the chicken has finally come home to roost

OasisX:



......LOL!

How in the world did such an ignorant message get so much likes?

Do people even know how arbitrage works?, The difference between buying and selling rates?, charges involved, milliseconds?

Social media has made these set of ignorant folks the loudest

Jodera:
Lol, omorr I didn't expect him to be so so good for us like this.

But na that forward passes own surprise me pass. One wouldn't know he had it with him.

Maybe cos you guys listened more to his naysayers rather than watch him yourselves in Chelsea.

I said it one million times and kept reiterating it, Jorginho is a function of the spaces around him. It's the same reason he keeps pointing (to where the player is supposed to be rather than where he is. The moment he doesnt see it, he passes to a comfortable one - sideways or backpasses as you guys call it.

The one and only weakness he's got is pace; which he makes up for in one million other ways

grandstar:
Frankly speaking I'm no fan of insults.

The truth is that this government has failed woefully in the economic front. Economists here on NL were incensed when Henry Cardoso was given the the post of CBN governor as he was unqualified. It's as though Tinubu preferred to employ his boy to work with. He played safe.

Despite inflation raging, CBN interest rates are 18.5% while inflation is 29%. Interest rates need to rise to at least 30%. Tinubu has long been a fan of low interest rates and he might be dictating to the autonomous CBN.

Yes, I do support bringing down the protectionist walls for which the country has many. However, for now, this might not be a wise idea.

Why? Because the foreign reserves are empty. It can barely cover one month of imports.Opening the borders will just put further pressure on the Naira. The Naira has falling so much that I suspect agricultural produce the country formerly had no competitive advantage might no more be the case. The Naira is now worthless.

Perhaps a managed float would have been the best but there's no foreign reserves at all to defend it

Frankly speaking, Tinubu should have gone further with economic reforms. He should have deregulated the price of petrol and that of electricity upon assumption of policy. I am a fan of shock therapy.

Poland in 1989 chose to free all prices at once rather than do so gradually. It's been the darling of Central Europe and as of 2019, never suffered a recession despite the Great Recession.

The country is in an utter mess and the president seems unperturbed. He seems to feel that this is the price the country must pay to get back on its feet. It is not. When the eminent economist Pat Utomi criticized the poor state of the economy, it was a pointer that the present policies were not the solution.

The present treatmenr is worse than the disease.

Inclined to disagree here seeing as it's mostly cost push. Did you see the food inflation data?

One thing it may help with though is mopping up all the excess liquidity. Cos I'm still surprised at the plenty idle cash available and being used to chase dollars.

swiz123:
I don't understand all these secondary school arguments at all. Colwill foolishly allowed Haaland two free headers and because he missed, we are here praising defence.

Silva and Colwill are two cowards who has cost us tremendous amount of goals this season and they want me to absolve them of any blame and blame only the attack.

Our attack is shitt, our defence is shitt, our midfield is shitt, that is why we are a terrible team.

I'm honestly puzzled as to the back and forth.

Anyway, the answer to all the exchanges may be in the links below. Extrapolate against our current position on the table and maybe the culprit can be chosen

Did you see the twitter handle that posted it? They are more or less telling us they can't do anything about the exchange rate.

Hey! Don't bother about the circulars and the monetary policies, we are just playing around. The situation is beyond us.

Oh I see,...Gotcha!

I was reading through the content and I didnt notice that

About the exchange rate, every rational person knows the truth, I think ive even discussed it a few times. It's going to be exceedingly difficult given the current circumstances

I'll be honest, I'm ok with the draw.

Coulda been worse

Itsrm:

At the risk of not sounding partisan, what do you find funny about it?

As far as I know, the writer is also an employee of the FG; especially on media matters

He moved his hands though if we are being honest

Chilwell not knowing to leave the ball there.

Color me shocked

KDB sha

I dont like players that cant use their brain.

How does Nkunku not know that would be a 1-2 pass?
