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.

Columbine:
I think I'll give this a try, while I continue with my European qualification assessment and evaluation. Would love to practice in Europe to help boost diaspora remittances

Hope one can resign at will?

It has a fixed number of years service. There is a bar when it comes to progression.

With a good lawyer this lady can win. Prostituion is illegal. That man can be jailed.

Person wey dey scam for #30k fit pay lawyer?

This one can't deceive Trump. Trump wouldn't fall for this. He has told everyone: avoid going to America.

Labour party has created a shadow ministry - ministry of condolence and food serving. Peter is the minister in charge. Obi is carrying out his responsibility. well done minister Obi.

pocohantas:
No wahala.
They should also embrace other men sleeping with their women. After all, na person wife Yul Edochie snatch. Snatch the pikin join. Now Mr Obasi dey cry for TVC news. A married man's sidechick is one single guy's serious babe. So let's all tolerate ourselves and live as one big happy family.

Can you go and pay the bride price of a man? Can your husband change his surname to your maiden name? Can he pack and come live in your paternal home? Can you have more than one husband at a time? Can you make your husband full house husband?

lionshare:
If there is any sector I can confidently say this current administration has the capacity and expertise to transform, it is definitely the oil and gas sector.

The man at the helm has good understanding of the sector. For the first time gas has been separated from oil so that there can be more focus.

A trader can only focus on buying and selling

press9jatv:
And if they don't manage their finances well, the country they represent in their time can't take care of them niiiii.

If I'm a cardiologist practicing in government hospital and I fail to plan for my tomorrow, when things happen then I should become a government liability?

Footballers refuse to understand that their career has a short life span. As an entertainment profession they are paid heavily. It behoves them to plan for their future. Sensible ones among them will financial advisors that help them invest.

The majority live bloated lifestyle and forget that a major injury ends the career.

Prince16:
This was someone that played for grade A clubs o . Inter milan, AC milan, AJ Auxere etc as well as playing for the super eagles.
Are his mates not kanu and okocha? Why are those not complaining?

He must have mismanaged his resources or was not informed enough to 'diversify' into biznaze like the okochas and kanus.

He should count himself lucky to reach the height he reached in soccer out of over 200 million Nigerians.

Majority of them got their exposure through Nigeria. Nigeria gave them the platform. Taribo's son can go and play for any nation that he wishes. Many want the chance.

One of PBAT's governance signature.


Not enough content...... I no sabi plenty book

Believeintruth:
But you were among those hailing Buhari and saying his policies are great. So now you are criticising him for not honoring FX obligations.

I didn't. I supported Buhari's coming because there was so much corruption, indiscipline and no one controlled politicians under Jonathan unlike OBJ's time. I did this because of his antecedents but he failed totally.

MICHEALADEX:
How much of your loan was buhari servicing?

How much was he paying governors?

Mr metrics please answer!

You didn't add loads and loads of foreign exchange obligations that were never met. All cleared under PBAT.

infohenry:
You are intelligent, you are one those people in Nigeria that are sway by their propaganda. You are not paying subsidy, not defending naira and oil production is on the rise and they gloating over foreign reserve.

What did Buhari eventually leave the reserves at? Buhari's government is no longer APC?

israelmao:
External reserve is shoring up in the face of intense hunger, unemployment and poverty.If people are really feeling the positive impact of this govt ordinary men and women on the streets would speak in support of it.

So we should use all our savings to give free food and forget about tomorrow. If any adverse thing happens to our economy or world economy then the country will be helpless?

jmoore:
Our foreign reserve reached 47 billion dollars in 2018 under Buhari.

Buhari was paying subsidy and was defending naira.

Tinubu is not paying subsidy and has devalued naira.

Our foreign reserve should be hitting above 100 billion dollars currently.

So Buhari has become an achiever because it fits in your narrative. He was no longer APC.

Good one .......more should follow. Foreigners have turned Nigeria to cybercrime hub.

PlasmaTV:
Did Tinubu tell you what he will do differently?
Did he attend any presidential debate?

Off the road

Without trying to defend PBAT Tinubu never for once spoke against the government that he succeeded. The popular credentials that spoke for him during the elections were his political history and the work he did as governor. Most people including myself still trust him because of these. I have searched and I'm still searching to find out why I should trust Obi.

If we must make an alternative choice we need facts and not cho cho cho.

DeepSight:
Jamboree as usual.

They don't care about the actual technical work.

Estacode, etc are more important.

While their broke online defenders make excuses and laugh off the failure that will create their own hunger, underdevelopment and backwardness for generations . . . .

If so many officials relevant and irrelevant embarked on this trip Mr Obi will cho cho. If they select a few relevant number according to their plan Mr Obi will still cho cho.

Whichever way he will still cho cho. So, allow him to cho cho. It's his pass time.

PlasmaTV:
Peter Obi, their nightmare.
The one who speaks and the camp of the enemy quakes in fear and trembling.

Some folks were paid heavily to do their job, but they've gallivanted away from their duty post, just like their principal, BAT, is apt to do.

Peter Obi should spend more time on telling us what he will do differently if given the opportunity. He's hiding this so that we will not see how hollow is ambition is.

Going up and down picking holes in every action of the government will not build his profile in the eyes of the discerning. When you appear too frequent in the news you become un-news worthy.

Again let him tell us what he can do differently from what the present government is doing. We want to assess his capacity. Being the president of Nigeria is a complex job.

Streetinvestor2:
And u decided to work for APC after atiku refused to equally pick u for vp

He talked about his case very openly unlike the grass cutter that said that his reason for joining coalition of annoyed people is that he wants to rescue Nigeria.

DoctorStanley:
Ok, so find me an article like the ones below but that applies to US instead of Nigeria

You are saying a different thing entirely. We are talking about America's condition for issuance of visa. Diaspora remittance don't come through new entrants into USA. They come through Nigerians with valid papers in foreign countries most of them well settled. USA's new visa conditions even if Nigeria retaliates will have little or no bearing.

Besides America's restrictive visa conditions over the years has significantly reduced their contribution to our diaspora remittance. The bulk comes from Europe, Asia and Canada.

DoctorStanley:
I bet you if the roles were reversed US would not reciprocate because they know it would only cost them money, and their eyes are always on the money NOT reciprocity!

Assuming US decides to impose 50% tax on any remittances from Nigeria, will Nigeria reciprocate and impose 50% tax on remittances from US?
It's NOT everything you reciprocate!!
Someone comes to your shop to spend money. You go to his shop to make money. He says he'd start charging you a small amount to come to his shop. You angrily retaliate and say you'd also start charging him to come to your shop!😅

Nigerians that go to USA for medical treatment, holiday, schooling (not japa), business etc. spend money there and they don't make money there. These are the majority.

Those that go for skilled work visa are few because it's not easy to get and America needs their skills as much as they need their dollars.

Using post graduate route as japa is not common because of the visa restriction.

SmartPolician:
The US government is asking for visa applicants' social media accounts so they know those supporting terrorist organisations in the Middle East, particularly in Gaza.

But why is the Nigerian government asking for their social media accounts? BTW, how many Americans are willing to relocate to Nigeria and hustle? Some decisions are not worth it. Tinubu's team should focus on fixing Nigeria, if that's even their goal.

So Americans don't come to Nigeria ba? How many Nigerians have successfully relocated to America to hustle?

jmoore:
READ!

The topic is visa not importation.

Many Nigerians migrate to USA more than those going to China.

Nigeria needs USA cos USA have given jobs and high quality of living to many Nigerians.

How many Nigerians get American jobs from Nigeria?
