How many has she empowered in Nigeria

Do your research. Do you think that it's everything that they do that they make noise.

Macphenson:
Tinubu said he removed subsidy because Nigerians wre living a fake good life, now Nigerians are living a real hard life.

I went to market today to buy things and was recieving shock all over. A 25l gallon of ground nut oil is now #92k, A bag of Rice is #105k, there's no #200 onions from Aboki again
Thats is the kind of hard life Tinubu wants Nigerians to be living.

You have got to pay the price for the fake good life of the past. Don't worry realignment is taking place. After it you will not get the old fake good life neither will you get the hard life of today. You will get a life in-between the two that reflects your productivity.

1. Ordinarily, there is nothing bad in introducing tax reforms from time to time to reflect the REALITIES of the time.

2. Basically, taxation involves corporates and individuals paying a portion of their earnings to support government, which made it possible for them to earn.

3. Therefore, the rational thing to do first is for President Tinubu to develop short-term, medium-term and long-term plan to boost the productive capacity of the economy. Unfortunately, doing this looks like a mirage at the moment. Tax Bill without fixing the economy will impoverish Nigerians more.

4. It is when industries, factories, farmers, traders, professionals, etc are functioning well that goods and services are produced and sold and corporates as well as people have money in their pockets that taxation makes sense. You don't put the cat before the horse.

5. Apart from obvious geopolitical reasons, the fact is that introducing Tax Bill is much easier thing to do than fixing the economy. The president chose the easier task.

The tax bill is part of realignment of resources and efforts to make the sub-nationals to strive to be productive. It will block a lot of loopholes.

So much in a rush

Why has he not read the bill? Lazy lawmaker.

Believeintruth:
The truth is the only way the true naira value can be determined is if the CBN is sincere is advising the government to ensure that the earnings increases. You cannot have low earning potential and you keep doing tumbo tumbo with the monetary policies whereas the fiscal side is BS.
Until the CBN and Finance ministry address this, the issue will still remain the same.

Earnings cannot increase overnight. In fact it's rare to experience a quantum increase in earnings in the short term. I watched the national assembly and saw agencies assuring on the possibility of higher earnings in 2025. There is so much focus now on increased earnings. If this was done before now the situation wouldn't have been this bad. The truth is that it's very challenging to be CBN governor now.

Frigga13:
The government need her … not her needing the government

She’s already an American citizen

This Yoruba government and his people sha… always famzing

Without the government would she have occupied that position?

Arobaga:
Useless and foolish president



U never support your self finish you wan support who get wisdom pass you



Who dey fall for pulpit during October first parade wan support who galant

Hatred is not good. Ngozi okonjo-iwuala got that job because Nigeria sponsored her. If Nigeria didn't sponsor her she would not have occupied that position.

ibechris:
If u are not an economic thinker u would think the man is talking nonsense.

I have said this times without number,that u can't rax the rich and expect the poor to survive it.

The higher u tax the rich,the more the goods and services u will purchase in the market would skyrocket.

It is a give and take thing...the rich and govt officials would enjoy while the poor would suffer the consequences.

The global principle is the higher you earn the more tax you pay. Infact in some countries it's almost like after a particular threshold then you are paying as high as 50% of your next income as tax.

UK no dey for the top ten trade partners. Their is to collect.

I said it here that Tinubu is the only one among the lot that has the boldness to reform. OBJ as strong as he is didn't reform. Tinubu has been an activist, awoist and an advocate of fiscal federalism. He has the wealth, boldness and politics to do it. He's the ultimate cabal.

My worry is post 2027. Who comes in? If it's Tinubu then by 2031 Nigeria would have been firmly restructured. If it's any of the ones sponsored by the north or cabal then there will be massive reversal of the gains.

For the South and progressives this is the chance and the man that we have irrespective of tribe or party. My brother from the south east that talks about from consumption to production wouldn't have known that this is a major punch. Oil spoilt us and our leaders. We need to think and live like a none oil producing nation.

The former Nigerian Minister of Tourism, Femi Fani-Kayode, has tackled critics of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited upon the recent revival of Port Harcourt Refinery.

Which industry is FFK into? A man that has never operated a biscuit and sweet kiosk is talking.

Yemmysworld91:
The north is not just happy with the tax reform. They know it will deny them a lot from the oil, alcohol, telecommunications etc goodies that they've had unlimited access to. And above all, it will weaken the stronghold at the center which they value so much. I pray this bill scale through, then we can now channel our frustration to the state governors which is closer to us than the federal government which we often do.

Irrespective of the failings of Tinubu, this is a positive one from him

Tinubu is a bold reformist. Forget about what they are saying. He's taking the issues one after the other.

yoruboid:
Tinubu is clearly the most prepared for the job no matter how you want to look at it

Nigeria will never remain the same by the time he’s done and I hope we get regional governance at the end of it



They would tax only the N70,000 above your N1m. I’m surprised a lot of folks don’t know how taxation works (or they’ve not been paying)

Majority of Nigerians don't pay any form of direct tax.

PHIPEX:
What of businessmen? At what level will their tax calculation start?

Hire us as your tax consultants. It costs us so much before we got trained.

If he had been a popular Nigerian pastor they would have mocked him to scorn.

Okoroawusa:
You will ask him if he understands what a bill is. Him fit think say na NEPA bill

Hahaha 🤣😂

vowiski:
So with this bill, VAT becomes 15%

We don enter for Tinubu hand.

And Nigerians are quiet, this is 100% increment that will lead to increase in goods as well..

Quote one provision of the bill that you understand.

treesun:
https://www.thecable.ng/fabricated-figures-nlc-tackles-nbs-over-unemployment-rate-report/

Give your data and the source. Don't talk in abstract. The rate of inflation that you love to quote is supplied by the same NBS. It's going high therefore it's correct.

I'm not defending NBS but Nigerians must stop this mentality of once the figures don't look what I'm thinking then it's fabricated without facts.

The easiest way to outsmart rising cost of living is by voting out ...

You think so, you are mistaken

ibechris:
Then u don't know the function of a responsible govt.
Donald Trump inspects the wall his country was building.

This is how u guys breed corruption and support it with ur full chest.

If governors can inspect projects why should a president not inspect what he started?

Sick heads every where.

You lack understanding of English. You said "projects" and I stated "main work". You used your darling Trump as example but you mentioned a project and not projects. Is there any president that will not inspect any project all through his tenure?

We should not be embarrassing ourselves in the social media because it's faceless.

ibechris:
When u have a president that is not interested in inspecting a project but finds solace in travelling even uninvited abroad.

.

So the main work of a president is to go about inspecting projects in spite of his heavy workload. What is the work of his ministers? Everyone just talk chochocho online.

Pootle:
indian of all people, i get pissed being a nigerian too many misconception about us. na so we all be saboteurs? almost all manufacturing sectors in nigeria is saturated by indians. fvuk sake what is wrong with us, we seem not to be able to do any gaddem thing ourselves that absolute shame a cluster mess due to this unemployment and underemployment everywhere

Indians like you said dominate the manufacturing sector. Why are Nigerians not there? We want quick wealth. Most Nigerians including you want it quick quick. The wealth from the manufacturing sector comes gradually and endures. That's why Dangote is the greatest. We love the quick wealth route: buying and selling, importation, petroleum distribution and of course the baba of them all, politics.

Pootle:
imagine a fuvking indian is the vp in dangote....a low class indian in an indigenous firm. how many firm in indian uses a nigerian as their vp in india

Edwin has been dangote's right hand man for so many years. He hasn't disappointed him. If he's a Nigerian he will sabotage him.

In the UK the order of importance is:
1. Children
2. Animal
3. Women
4. White men
5. Black man.

God please protect the black man.

Very important otherwise she/he can commit rape in the all female rest room.

olisaEze:
The option to Yar’dua in that election don rule eight years comot. With hindsight wisdom now, if u had the power would u too have alllowed Buhari to rule seeing how far he has regressed dis nation?? If u can answer that honestly, then we’re gud.

I expected so much from buhari particularly in the area of curtailing corruption and prudent management of resources but I must confess that I was totally disappointed ☹️.

olisaEze:
Someone met humungous debts on assuming office. But he should accept that he’s part of the problem from the new loans spent on luxuries for the new monarchy, 14yrs after he left excess cash & no debts behind. It’s amazing how dumb some people are prepared to sound, not for a seat at the table but for droppings & leftovers.

Is debt the only issue in discourse? Was he not the person that rigged Yaradua/Jonathan regime into power that started again the process of ballooning the debt even when oil prices were high?

The speaker is saying that he should stop speaking as if he didn't contribute to the problem and that he's a saint. This will earn him the right to suggest and condemn when the suggestions are not taken.

When he came in 1999 the north mocked him that they made him president and that he had no electoral base. This was true. In 2003 he went on overdrive to win the west through rigging. He did everything to win Lagos but Tinubu resisted him. That was his hatred for Tinubu. What he did in 2003 was the foundation for the fraudulent election that we have till now. He continued it in 2007. How can he come now to claim saint and pontificate?

PulaPower:
“As we know, 70% of consumption is not accruing to those three states. So, whatever way you look at it, apart from Lagos, Rivers, and FCT, every northern state would benefit. That is the Bill being presented.

“If you look at it, MTN contributed the highest, but because MTN’s head office is in Lagos, all derivation from MTN is accruing to Lagos. With this Bill, irrespective of the economic situation of any state in Nigeria, all states would benefit.”

So why are northern governor’s against the bill?

Ignorance

JuanDeDios:
Q: Does Elon Musk pay tithe?
A: Elon Musk is the top partner of RoR and gives $10 million.

Doesn't answer the question.

Do you in anyway support the gospel. The answer is no. A man that puts such amount in God's work that he has no direct material benefit is more helpful to the gospel than some people that are in churches, don't pay tithe and are tight in giving but make the loudest noise about church financing.

Capillary88:
So when should do what?

The way these pastors react when it comes to money is really very annoying, to say the least.

I'm taking a risk of doing this cos there's no way out. Anything u can help with, pls help. It's like I'm lifeless right now due to hunger

You are against sowing but you want us to sow into you. What an irony.

MadamVanessa:




So supporting Rhapsody is now tithing. This man is confused. They always look for any slightest opportunity to twist things to suits their sinister motives on tithe. Elon Musk will be the topic of sermon henceforth in these cone men churches, and very sadly, their blind followers will believe and got scam of all their savings.

The most funniest tithing preaching I have ever heard in history was from David Ibiyeomie. The cone man shamelessly said that the reason God chased Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden was because Adam ate the tithe. Omò 🤣🤣🤣 And you see learned people listening to him with rapt attention.

Religion is so powerful , it hypnotize you that you're not aware of your own foolishness. religion makes your foolishness looks like you're being rational.

Having said that, I am a staunch Christian and a believer but i dont subscribe and will never subscribe to the philosophy and teaching of tithing. Don't just bring it to where Vanessa is.

Christianity is faith-based. You believe any part of it and practice them, they will work for you. People that talk and complain about tithing don't even pay tithe. Tithers don't complain or talk about it. They faithfully practice it and they harvest heavily. For some of us tithing is a way of life. We are moving to the level of being major kingdom investors.

ElevationD:
Where is the power abuse?
The title is SSA (Agriculture), with a clear definition of what he should be advising on. His role is very specific, very precise on his mandate.

If that would help with improving on agriculture and food self sufficiency in his local government, where is the problem?

State fund will be used to pay and sustain someone advising on garden eggs, pepper, yam, cocoyam, vegetable 🥒, pawpaw ? This is nothing but share the money.
