If na true... Then tinubu has done what others couldn't do... Kudos to him

Tinubu has always been a game changer. He has his vision and does his thing in spite of opposition noise. He prefers to tackle problems from the roots rather than scratch the surface just to look good.

DMerciful:
Makinde has not been linked to any criminality or corruption

Has he held public office before becoming a governor? Wait until he finishes his tenure and then come around to prove what you wrote.

You have still not defended your statement of: Makinde is a man of solid reputation.

1vandragon:
Why didn't the minister also wait for the report of the National Assembly? Why is he in a hurry?

Which minister? Which hurry? Mtchee.

DMerciful:
Can you link Makinde to any criminality or corruption allegations in the past unlike Tinubu with drug case in Chicago?

Why is it that you guys that talk anyhow you don't like to defend your statements?

Did I bring Tinubu into your wild statement?
Did I tell you that I'm Tinubu's defender?

You said that Makinde is a man of solid reputation. I asked you to defend it and you are going round and round in bringing comments that are not part of the discussion. Mtchee.

DMerciful:
A naira billionaire before became governor with a successful company

Show workings. Don't just make statement without substantiating it. Makinde was very unknown both in business and in politics. We don't know when he became a person with "solid reputation"

Having a company doesn't make one a person with solid reputation. Many have.

Having some millions of naira doesn't make someone a person with solid reputation. Many have. Yahoo boys, drug merchants and people that are errand boys of people in power have.

1vandragon:
Clever by half...

Of course there is only 'one' tax law which was signed by the President.

The question is, was what was signed by the President the same as that passed by the National Assembly?

Wait for the report of the national Assembly. Why are you so much in a hurry?

DMerciful:
Tinubu na scam.

I was shocked someone like Seyi Makinde, a man of solid reputation was following Wike sheepishly against sound judgment.

He is partly responsible for what Nigerians are suffering. Makinde must find a way to atone in 2027!

Apart from becoming governor of Oyo State mention Makinde's solid reputation.

Moo

AMINDA:
Later, Tinubu supporters will try to exonerate Tinubu from attempts to destroy the PDP and every other political party. Tinubu was involved from day one and it had his blessings. Why else would Makinde and Wike be meeting secretly with Tinubu in the presence of Gbajabiamila? Tinubu undemocratically schemed out Obi and Jonathan from contesting under LP and PDP while posturing as the "Southern candidate" when the South clearly did not vote him in 2023.

The Wike we all know would have been calling for his own media chat 24 hours after this. Unfortunately, the Lagos GAC have placed him on a media embargo, which is one of the worst things that have been done to Wike.

What meaneth this

hatchy:
Sometimes you data boys keeps people wandering if you have any thinking faculty at all.

The petrol you're talking about, how much did he meet it? You can now say we were paying trillions in subsidy, ok he removed it, where is the money saved, have Nigerians been better off since then?

The no scarcity of petrol you talked about, is it about availability or affordability. How many people can go to the petrol station and fill their tanks. Come to think of it, the availability and price reduction is done by one man, Dangote. He is fighting a lone battle against Tinubu’s cabal who import petrol and create scarcity to shoot up prices. The availability is not government's own achievements.

You people and rice. You guys are clowns. Your Tinubu met that commodity at 7k/50kg. Increased it to over 100k due to his incompetence and bad policies. He now have it at dropped to 76k after flooding the market with imported rice from Thailand with borrowed foreign exchange and you want people to be in jubilation. Nigerians will take him serious when he brings it back to 7k per 50kg or lesser.

I want to bring to your notice incase you don't know, even that your 30k the government pay you will be taxed beginning from January. Forget all the blabbing about certain threshold that won't be taxed. I urge you to be ready because many of you will experience loosed trousers from your waist next year due to hunger.

Let me educate you: it's not everyone that makes intelligent comments along the line of economics is what you call data boys. I worked closely with Yemi Cardoso as a professional in 1992 when he was executive director in Citizens International Bank. You should know very well that such a person wouldn't have been your description of data boy in 2025.

I would have gone ahead to tear to pieces with sound knowledge of economics and finance what you wrote here but I would not because from what you wrote here with due respect you are below.

Don't talk about taxation to people like us. I should be educating you about tax. FYI tax is my core area of training. Bye

Typing:
Nice one. All hands must be on deck to unseat this incompetent President Tinubu from office

Who bribed these ones? Did they use efcc to coarse them? Wouldn't it be ADC and the people?

hatchy:
Tinubu is building Nigeria the way he built Lagos. He has imported more than enough cement, bought enough from Dangote, BUA and Ibeto.

This incompetent man will ground Nigeria and bring it to it's knees beginning few days from now. Nigeria cannot survive with this tax laws that's coming into effect soonest. Nigeria cannot also grow into prosperity by constantly borrowing to service debts and fund the lavish lifestyle of politicians and government officials.

Our eyes will soon clear. The choices a few people made, Mahmood, the judiciary, politicians, and tribal jingoists will soon yield fruits come January 2026. Shege pro max is awaiting everyone.

Contradictory statement.
1 Tinubu is building Nigeria the way he built Lagos. Question: Is Lagos not doing well? A state in Nigeria that is almost the fifth largest economy in Africa.

2. Lagos was the first state in Nigeria to go to the bonds market when Tinubu was governor. What is the effect today?

3. You call him the incompetent man. For a long time this is the first time Christmas without fuel queue. The direction of the price is looking south.

By this time last year you were bothering us with how much a bag of rice is as if life depends on rice alone. You are not talking this time.

Some two years ago it was bleak Christmas for civil servants. Some were owed over 24 months salary areas. This Christmas governors are paying 13th month salary to civil servants courtesy of the policies of the "incompetent" man. Ha ha ha.

BlackKafka:
Chain. For God's sake, how much is coolant? 5k for a vehicle that costs millions is not too much to spend, but hey, what do I know.

5k coolant can't fill a radiator. Can it? Just interested in learning.

NwokoloOwa:
Dangote is talking nonsense. Complete jazz. But it's still from this heavily taxed domestic market that you became Africa's richest man.

There is always something to hold when capitalists want to deceive and lie. Now it is no more lack of power and electricity. There was a time that was the mantra, no power, no electricity. Now it's taxes.

Haba.

You don't know export. You don't know law

Someone sent next polyester ties to me from the UK. When I looked at the labels they were made in China. Price per unit was £8. I wondered. That's almost #16,000. I can get a fair made in China silk tie for this amount or a little above here in naija. This amount can give me about two good polyester made in China ties in here in naija. What is the issue - tax and tax. UK has high tax relative to naija.

Focusmind:
Chei, Taiwo fall hand, big time - He should not allow politicians to rubbish his professional career.

I believe that the insertion of that 20% deposit on disputed assessment was done on purpose. FIRS have been looking for ways to make their decisions final and conclusive in any assessment without the opportunity of the tax payer making recourse to the court for adjudication. How can you tell me or my company to deposit 20% of assessment you did on my income, first, before I begin to challenge it?

This has been one of the grounds for objection under PITA and CITA.

Hedonisco:
This Oyedole animal should be public enemy number 1.

Even from the Bible times, tax collectors are looked at as public enemies number one. So nothing new.

aworatak:
This man is not only talking from both sides of the mouth, he is also insincere and bereft of reasoning.
I pity the average Nigerians should this fraudulent document called tax law take effect next year.

Over to you the data boys, suffering and smiling gang.

What is your evidence that shows that he's talking from both sides of the mouth? He's insincere and "bereft" of reasoning. Please show proper workings.

They will not praise PBAT's policies. Imagine a Christmas without fuel scarcity and prices are going down.

Rice is at a reasonable price now. The foreign exchange rate has stabilized. State governments are paying 13th month salary unlike before when workers were owed several months areas.

The major challenge now is insecurity. Trust PBAT he will fix it.

xynerise:
While petrol price is decreasing, transport fare is increasing

Economics doesn't work in Nigeria

You would still turn round to blame Tinubu.

LibertyRep:
This script is too obvious.

Chase the competitors out with the price war, take control of the entire structure and thereafter become a monopolistic thing god.

The government and the relevant regulatory agencies should do their duties and enforce fair play.

In all, may Nigerians be favoured.

Should he allow matketers to bring imported pms dump in the country at high price?

HacheNoire:
Dumping any engine oil inside the engine!

They will buy anything that KAZEEM recommends, and to top it up, they just buy from any where without concern. Some think they buying Mobil 1 but don’t even know they are buying oil blended in Aba.

Another one is using water for coolant 🤣🤣🤣

Water for coolant? Coolants come in small containers and expensive. The cost will be heavy if you use only coolant because of the volume that will fill the radiator. I usually use water and add one or two cans of coolant.

Lovelydaisies:
Okay. How many have you paid NECO fees for?

Many. We buy dresses, food items, drugs and other needs. There are some on NOUN full sponsorship. Many have been converted to Christ. It's part of our normal CSR. No big deal

AMINDA:
The supreme Court ruled on local government autonomy 2 years ago, Tinubu is selectively applying the ruling in only Osun state because Adeleke refused to bend the knee. That isn't restructuring.

Adeleke refused to bend the knee that's why it's being applied in Osun state. Other governors including those in opposition parties agreed to bend the knee that's why it wasn't applied against them? The same Adeleke that begged to join APC and was rejected and he decamped from PDP to accord of all parties?

Lovelydaisies:
Paying for their NECO, giving them words of encouragement... These are the real acts of a renewed hope.
Thank you, the man my husband and I voted. Thank you and may God bless you always.

No big deal. My church has a prisons department. They go round parishes soliciting for fund to buy things and support the inmates. They do this regularly. No noise. No pictures. Obi is really a boy. Too much publicity conscious and talks chochocho

AMINDA:
You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Forgery is all he knows.

Why is it that assembly members objecting are from a particular section of the country?

What are the versions passed by the legislature and the version gazetted by the executive.

If the house has set up a committee to investigate the complaints why further noise?

You are asking for restructuring and this is one step taken and you are here insulting. If he refuses to restructure you will again insult.

I want to ask you one question: will the tax law be used by PBAT's regime alone and jettisoned at the end of his regime. The same law will be used by your Lord and personal saviour if and when he becomes president. He will enjoy the benefit of what he is condemning today.

You should think critically and talk sensibly.

billyG:
Only senator Eyinaya Abaribe is d only man of integrity standing.

Leave that one? He knows that he can't be welcome in APC. He ran away from PDP to labour party. When LP scatter where will he run to? Enyinaya Abaribe...... forever in senate without results.

njokuuche77:
This is one of the most intelligent governors Nigeria has today. Leadership is not about silence or indifference but courage, dialogue, and responsibility. Governor Otti has shown maturity by choosing engagement over neglect, peace over posturing, and humanity over politics.
I wish he wont retire from Politics because his type don dey finish for Nigeria.

Why didn't he dialogue and engage before now? If he did, did he counsel his son? What his son did didn't show that he embraced dialogue, negotiation and engagement.

His visit will only produce results if he counsels his son to first be remorseful. Then openly confess. Next he should apologize first to the south east that he harmed, late president Buhari, PBAT, entire judiciary, specifically justice Omotosho and the entire nation Nigeria.

He must make an irrevocable promise never to trade on his old path.

If Oti's visit didn't achieve these then we would conclude that it was all politics.

greatiyk4u:
Prove to miscreant like ju?
Cry me a river

If being critical and logical in my thinking makes me a miscreant I will gladly love to be one.

But my teacher taught me that miscreants are very low in subjecting their thoughts and statements to logic and critical thinking. That's why they make irrational statements.

Bahamas95:
Who is this man? He's the most inactive VP in the history of Nigeria.


Even Remi Tinubu better pass am.

Shetima.... most inactive VP? You must be kidding 😂 🤣 me.

Skoonheid:
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, and he was not found anywhere.

Have people seen that the politics of using price of a bag of rice against PBAT is not working again? Rice dey everywhere and the price don come down.

The price of dollar, the price of dollar as a tool is not working again ooo. The exchange rate is stable.

The attack tool now is kidnapping and insecurity. This one too will come to pass. Just watch out.

greatiyk4u:
At least he wasn't known as a Berger before now

Proof that all his life he never was and proof that it was government policies that made him a begger. We will progress to ask about his profession. Mtchee

greatiyk4u:
Is that why Nigerians are facing obstacles under your regime? Are you paying us back with international evil?



Tinubu does not mean well at all

My only joy is that the hardship is not selective nor gender based.


Imagine a man with family of three telling me yesterday in tears that he's moving into this festive period with just 3K in his account

Did the man tell you how much he usually had in the previous festive periods? Maybe minimum of 1million. Mtchee

reddingtonblack:
?

Not as if i cant answer you , But of what relevance is that Question here

if Senate under OBJ were rubber stamps we for get 3rd term by now

They were highly cooperative. Third term was stopped because of the face-off between Atiku and OBJ. Atiku in an attempt to get at his boss mobilized all forces against his boss's desire.
