That is his modus operandi' of turning Nigeria to a One-party state..

Once the sees that a party is giving him a run for his money, he will start paying people within that party to cause dissident and destabilise that party. With Wike at other end bribing judges to give obnoxious judgements in favour of the trouble-makers in those parties..

Tinubu was never a democrat. Na feudal lord him be.

There are powers higher than him and he will contend with that soon enough. Insha Allah.

Funny 🤣. Very 🤣😂 funny. Who is that fighter that will not work to weaken his opposition?

If the opposition know that this is the strategy of your opponent why must you allow him to succeed? Failures give excuses. Didn't Tambuwal make efforts to weaken his opposition?

During OBJ's time the main opposition in the south west was AC. Everything was done to take over the entire South West. He did everything to take over Lagos. He withheld their statutory allocation. The political chess master in charge of Lagos didn't go every where crying. He resisted him and succeeded in taking back some of the states. Today he's part of a national party.

Only failures complain and use it as excuse.

CoolAmbience:
We are too lazy in this country.
No one would ask. It is quite a shame!

Where is the National Assembly? Where are the Civil Society Groups? Socio-economic crusaders? Opposition political parties?

What is going on in this country?

Akpabio has finished our legislature.

Are you not a Nigerian? You can institute an action under the FOI act and ask the government to publish details and you can go ahead and investigate. Hence the rest of us are too lazy and only you is hard working.

U09ce:
If you know the conditions under which Dangote employees work, you'd support this cause. One shouldn't be working for an oil company and still be subject to inhumane treatment

Are you working there? Show us documented conditions of service.

hotseat:
Dangote and his cousin (Alhaji Sayyu Ali Dantata) are slave-drivers, exploitative and monopolistic in their insatiable greed for wealth and more wealth.

What they intend to achieve is to make unionism a "crime" so that all employees under both men could be enslaved without an avenue for agitation for their rights as guaranteed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).

Despite the several financial leeways accorded him by successive administrations, this is how he wants to repay Nigerians.

This is one battle that he and his cousin cannot win.

NUPENG must rise up to the occasion and put a stop to the Feudal Lords' cruel policy of forbidding unionism.

Enough of the shenanigans!

Aluta continua!

Victoria acerta!





@hotseat

Rubbish...... I have my company and it's my right to give you condition of employment. If you like it you sign and take up employment. If you don't want you try somewhere else and another person will take your position.

Have you not noticed over the years that banks don't have unions. Where is NUBIFE? Have you ever heard of strikes in the banking sector for so many years?

NUPENG is scared that they can't hold the nation to ransom anymore with what Dangote wants to do. Their leaders want to feed fat on check-off dues from Dangote drivers. Other Dangote truck drivers do they belong to unions?

Dangote has fought the oil cabal and won them is it the small fly like NUPENG that he cannot? The days of threats by oil workers are coming to an end.

In Lagos NUPENG members will park anyhow. If Lagos State government tow their vehicles they will go on strike.

franchasofficia:
it's all about politics.


Nigerian people's purchasing power is dying everyday. Nigerians now buy mostly what they need to survive like basic food, etc, and those that use to patronize ShopRite and other big shopping malls now go back to traditional markets due to harsh economy.


Nigeria's Middleclass population that made ShopRite and other big shopping malls and outlets to boom are almost gone; most lost their jobs, relocated to remote areas, some migrated abroad, many got kidnapped, so Nigeria currently have very insignificant Middleclass population all thanks to Bola Tinubu's thoughtless and insensitive economic policies that created more poor people than rich people in Nigeria.


So tell me how is not politics?

Nay ShopRite deals mainly on imported goods. We are saying no more subsidy on imports through cheap dollar. Other super stores are springing up. JustRite is an example. Online business and home delivery has taken over.

On September 2 I ordered online and received goods worth #72k. They were delivered to my office. They are all Nigerian made products. They are all over the social media. Who get time to support South African economy through ShopRite?

rofanx13:
Why are they still borrowing if we make this much from just non oil Revenues?
Together with oil Revenues, we don't have need to borrow

An economy is not like receive monthly salaries and spend. Why borrow?

For economic expansion
To provide services pending the arrival of your income
To fund infrastructure that will grow the economy.

Dangote is still borrowing even though he's the richest man in Africa. He's not foolish.

We should be concerned about how borrowed funds are spent.

Sometimes you limit your growth if you refuse to borrow.

sonofthunder:
Next year's budget will likely be close to double of this year's or about 1.5 times. But people are still yet to start feeling the benefits of all these.

That is just the truth.

Between the federal and the subnational governments who is closer to the people? Major projects my the subnationals will have more direct impact. They are getting the money but they are not spending it rightly and every attention is on FGN.

surgical:
By the time Tinubu finish with Nigerians our people in diaspora will not recognise us again
This is why it's not good to support evil because it is not on your side when he was taxing Lagosians to death, they said he was generating the highest IGR not knowing what Lagosians were passing through now it's the turn of everybody
Who does not know the trick of making meat to disappear in the mouth, taxing is the easiest thing to do but growing the economy is the challenge

Can you grow or develop an economy without generating income. You prefer the days that the Nigerian economy was left at the mercy of events at the international oil market.

Klington:
Lies, lies lies lies lies and more lies. Next is to borrow hundreds of trillions with nothing to show for it.

Tell us the truth with your facts. We need your facts to counter what they have told us.

iwaeda:
Imagine a Toyota corolla of N900k in the days of corruption, now goes for N9m, yet he is happy, Nlfpmod, people are getting poorer.

Is Toyota Corolla a Nigerian product? The goal of devaluation is to make imports expensive and exports cheaper, force the nationals to consume what is produced.

cjudy:
Used and Dumped governor trying to please his master

Used how? Who used who? Someone that was just any other citizen but was assisted to become a governor in a choice state. Where is the used and dumped?

Softmirror:
Fuel station are now doing advertisement on radio , doing bonanza sef. If you see how dem come humble. Chai.....😁.

Very wicked people!

Before the subsidy scam when we were young fuel stations used to have dedicated staff that wipe your windscreen free and some of them offered free change of oil.

It takes a hard leader to take hard decisions.

I love it when I drive into filling stations and I see them sitting down waiting for motorists. We know what we passed through in their hands in the past.

PlasmaTV:
🤣🤣🤣

When your government was propagating CNG as the cure to Nigeria's problems and their ineptitude, APC foot soldiers were hailing them.

Now, CNG, apart from it being unsustainable, is going to be very expensive.

We've always said it - you can't out-propaganda a failing economy.

What is the price? Diversification of energy source is ideal in any economy. It guarantees energy safety. Nigeria is on track. We don't want the subsidy corruption of the past.

jmoore:
Tinubu lying that Nigeria is not borrowing but his rubber stamp senate has approved his billions of dollars borrowing plans.

Has he borrowed what has been approved? Besides the approved plan is for the whole federation. Oti has just signed one.

Mbanda:
We really need to verify this because I don't know tinibu as a soothsayer.

Which country economy is stable? Is tinibu talking about the Nigeria we know or another Nigeria we don't know of?

Abeg helinues, help us ask your principal why dollar exchange rate is still very high.

The rate of dollar has been adjusted to reflect the level of your productivity. Not the subsidized old rate that doesn't reflect your true productivity. What you should be talking about is the volatility which was the issue at the early days of reform. This doesn't exist anymore. The exchange rate is relatively stable now. Companies can now plan. One of the objectives of the devaluation is to eliminate corruption in the fx market. This has been achieved. No more arbitrage. Further reckless importation has been eliminated because imported goods are very expensive.

Heffalump:
These are words on the marble.

Datti made a strong remark here. If you stole election results, you have no obligations to fulfill to the people.

So how many of them that didn't steal election results both past and present?

Donake:
The same way elections were decided for handling a glitch in service that affected just the presidential elections right? Emilokan you snatched, grabbed it and ran away with it.

Congrats Nigeria has been running on increased borrowing not even for improved power generation.

Off point........ totally off point

Ishilove:
Keep hailing instead of borrowing a leaf from them and hurrying up the judicial process in Kanu's trial. The Nigerian government is a disgrace

Kanu's team has been dragging the matter for so long through technicalities. This is the fault of Nigerian legal system. If this fast decision by judges was made in Nigeria marginalization would have been a sing song. Abaribe would have come out.

This decision should strengthen the federal government's case against Kanu.

AMINDA:
Tinubu is using Wike to ensure that PDP does not field a candidate in 2027. Whether Obi or GEJ. What is he afraid of? I thought they said he is loved by Nigerians? Anyways, heads or tail, "The guy is gone" come 2027.

Rigging apart it will be difficult to have a politician that will defeat PBAT. Forget hatred by a section. This is a politician that spent years to build his loyalty. Obi just woke up yesterday. Amongst the class of 1999 state governors which of them is still relevant in politics? From 2007 till 2023 -- 16 years he didn't hold any political office but he was still powerful.

Very few can overcome what he went through to get his party's nomination. Everything was done by his own party and even the president to make him lose the election. The post-election fight against him has never been seen in Nigerian politics.

Now he has state power, personal wealth, personal media, long term political associates and possibly a turn around of Nigerian economy in four years. Do you think that winning election against him will be a work in the pack?

Angelfrost:
Op, the least you could have done was explain the meaning of "COS".

You can't just assume every reader knows what that means.

This is a very shitty and drab reporting.

COS - certificate of sponsorship. This is issued by companies that have home office license to employ immigrants that meet certain criteria. Every visa must have a sponsor.

Study visa cos is issued by the school that admitted the person.

Skilled worker visa cos is sponsored by licensed employer.

Upon forwarding the cos to the home office then the visa is issued to the person sponsored.

[quote author=Kukutente23 post=136624253]You sound like someone who enjoys suffering and smiling
Why will you prefer to buy expensive fuel in exchange for availability.

From me
So that I can invest my time in productive venture and save my health. Most times we bribed the attendants. Back then fuel station managers and attendants were like kings. Now they sit idle waiting for us.

From you
What guarantee do you have that the expensive fuel you buy now is not adulterated?

From me
I'm buying direct from the filling station and not black market hawkers. If anything go wrong I'll hold the station.

kb83:
Nigeria is becoming a joke, to be sincere, You there not speak against the insanity of the APC , You are witch hunted and termed with unfounded charges, Tinubu and Wike should be ready to face the music, when there tenure of impunity is over.

If we want to sanitize our system it must start from somewhere and with someone as example. It doesn't matter who the person is.

A man that live in Lagos bought a new car worth millions, took it to licensing office for registration. Of course his address and details were captured in autoreg. The LSIRS sent a text message congratulating him on his new acquisition. A few days later a BOJ tax assessment was sent to his line. A few weeks later a demand notice was placed at his residence. He ignored it. Few weeks later final notice was sent. He informed an accountant who warned him that he risks paying the whole amount or being jailed if he refuses to pay.

He quickly hired a tax consultant who was able to argue his BOJ assessment and reduced the amount. He paid the reduced assessment and of course paid the consultant a handsome fee.

This is how it should be and this is what obtains in the countries we so much love to compare. If this is enforced you will notice that all our leaders from president to the least, Obi inclusive have been living large on our wealth. Money will be everywhere and there will be no need to borrow.

This is why I don't believe in the man that keep saying: a new Nigeria is possible. If we open his tax yansh alone he will forfeit all that he's got to Nigeria. They are all the same.

SonOfWords:
He declared personal income of 6.5 million naira in 2022, but by some stroke of magic his taxes for the very next year skyrocketed to over 230 million naira, how😂?

Did he gross personal income of over a billion naira the very next year to have attracted such a humongous annual tax?

He has been extra vocal in the political space lately, so Gbajabiamila and Wike have opened his book of retribution😭.

Everything is not politics. Tax evasion is a criminal offence anywhere. Most money people in this country don't pay real tax.

They gave him BOJ (best of judgement) assessment. Pay me for consultancy and I'll tell you. We joke with tax in this nation. That's why our tax to GDP ratio is one of the lowest in the world. How can you be ridding cars worth millions and living in mansions worth millions and your are paying a few hundreds of thousands as tax?

Kukutente23:
Just hear him
You paid hundreds of thousands to secure a passport for your 12 year old girl is why you jacked the cost up to 200,000 and you still say the era of paying hundreds of thousands is over

And he even says Nigeria will be happy with a 100% price increase

Yeah..... Nigerians like hearing low or cheap official prices that will force them to pay thousands as bribe rather than pay the higher open market price and get it easily. At the end we pay more through bribe.

Today I prefer driving to the filling stations and buy expensive fuel easily than to spend hours on fuel queues and sometimes buy expensive adulterated fuel from black market. All that I need is to plan my movements to reduce cost and forget big man mentality and use public transport in some cases.

Wetin concern man wey dey collect minimum wage with passport? Will passport pay for basic needs?

jmoore:
A US worker earning mimimum wage needs to work for 23 hours to afford a passport.

A Nigerian worker earning minimum wage needs to work for more than 200 hours to afford a passport.

Tinubu's mission is to reduce purchasing power of the people.

Illogical comparison. The two economies are they the same? Are the GDP the same? We just enjoy comparing events with economies that are 500% better just to condemn.

ARISHEM:
When a thug is put in position of authority he will act aggressively and think and misbehave irrationally. Acts like this should be filed and documented in every embassy so that whenever people like him want to travel out of the country for any occasion they will be queried and questioned on such incidents.

Why do you people always resort to outsiders for internal issues? How many others bring their internal issues for you to solve? It has become a sing song of the people from a certain side. America, Britain, Germany will intervene. Report to UN, Russia, International Criminal Court etc. Trump come and jail this president etc.

DonFreshmoney:
Am I seeing this clearly. N274 Million as tax for a year and N234million the year before.. I will see this as computer error, that means he must be making more than 2 billion yearly for his taxes to be this high..

And you think that he doesn't make that much?

givedemwotowoto:
Nigerians abroad need to start issuing Press Conferences and writing the white house and international community to officially tell them what's happening. This is getting out of hand. Not for them to fight for the people back home, but for them to be aware that a dictator is out to destroy democracy in Africa's biggest nation, and when that dictator comes for aid with lies of no corruption back home, they tell him to go and fix his country.

How can a single individual out of insecurity of being small politically (by number of supporters) be out to win election at any cost including destroying democracy?

My friend cool down and solve your problem. Stop being lazy by pointing fingers on imaginary enemy. Learn to be a man and solve your problem.

You went and hijacked another people's party and paid off one guy man Ralph Nwosu and you think that the owners will be happy. Was it how APC was formed?

Columbine:
Fixed number of service years like a contract job?
No unlimited job progression?

Pls, I need some clarifications, thank you

There is a fixed number of years service. I can't remember the exact number of years but I think that it's more than 15 years after which the person is retired. That's why it's called short service commission.

I think that bar is Major or there about. That's the highest until retirement. It's different from those that are commissioned through NDA. They don't have any bar.

Riskymarvelous:
I am 24yrs and i only av NECO result can I apply? I just need answer please 🙏

Wait for artisans intake. Short service commission is strictly for graduates.
