We were recently moved by AEDC from Band 'D' to Band 'A'. In fact, they move us without notice.

Sometimes they will move us to Band 'C', all without notice. I just bought a prepaid unit of N1,500 this morning and they gave me only 6.7 unit, in this harsh economy.

I got 41.1 unit last month with same N1,500 when we were in Band 'C'

6.7 unit can't last me more than two days for a minimal use.

My chest dey pain me. 💔 😢

Nigerians, can we try to be honest even in criticism of AEDC.

There's no way you could have been getting 41.1 unit for 1,500 naira under AEDC, in the past.

In the recent past, 1,500 naira will get you about 21 or 22 units of AEDC electricity but now.....

Maybe 4.1 unit on your band.

The presidential committee on fiscal policy and tax reforms says there is a need to increase the value-added tax (VAT) rate.

Taiwo Oyedele, chairman of the committee, spoke on Monday while disclosing the VAT revenue-sharing formula would be reviewed.

He spoke at a policy exposure and impact assessment session organised by the committee.

Nigeria’s VAT rate is currently 7.5 percent.

Oyedele also said the committee has proposed reviewing state and local governments’ share of VAT revenue to 90 percent.

According to section 40 of the VAT Act, the federal government gets 15 percent of the tax revenue, states share 50 percent, and local governments share the balance of 35 percent.

However, Oyedele said the committee is recommending reducing the federal government’s share from 15 percent to 10 percent.

“We are proposing that the federal government’s portion should be reduced from 15 percent to 10 percent. States’ portion will be increased but they would share 90 percent with local governments,” he said.

Oyedele said the committee proposed adjusting the sharing formula for VAT because it is a tax of the states.

“In 1986, we had sales tax collected by states. The military came up with VAT in 1993 and stopped sales tax so they said it would collect VAT and return 15 per cent as cost of collection and that is the 15 per cent charged today came about. But we think it is too much,” he said.

The tax expert added that the burden of VAT should be on the ultimate consumer.

“So we must make it transparent and neutral and this is what over 100 countries where they have VAT are doing,” Oyedele said.

“Nigeria’s economy is more than 50 percent in services and if I just stop at this, many states will be broke because VAT collection will go down by more than 50 percent and it won’t even fly.

“So we therefore need to adjust the VAT rate upward. We would ensure that it doesn’t affect businesses. The only thing is to look at basic consumption from food, education, medical services and accommodation will carry zero percent VAT. So for the poor and small businesses, no VAT.”

Oyedele said other consumers will pay a bit more.

“We have spoken to businesses about it and they won’t increase the product price. We want to make sure when we do VAT reform, no one will increase the price of commodities. We will work the mathematics with the private sector,” he said.

Oyedele also said each state should not be granted exclusive custodianship of their collections– because it would likely result in chaos.

Our court wedding was supposed to be on Friday. I caught her telling a married man I love you and calling each other all sweet names. I confronted her and she said she was telling of proving to me she was faithful that I should draw whatever conclusions I wanted to.

I went to work on Monday and came back and told her I wanted to pause the weeding until we could sort our issues and she said we should call it off totally.

As we speak she has moved back to her mom’s house with the two kids, what do I do?

PS: she was raised by a single mom

You dodged a bullet, rejoice brother

1. The road will connect all the 7 ports in Nigeria together

2. The road will serve as alternative to lagos-ibadan expreway.

3. All major cities in South West and South South will be connected together.

4. The 700 kilometer road is not entirely new as there many federal roads within it so it served as way of repairing the bad federal roads

5. The coastal road will have rail, this will assist the new refineries to easily move their products.

I have tried to juxtapose the benefits in comparison with the forgone alternatives, however I feel the project is driven by selfish interest of some persons in the leadership position I. Favor of their cronies considering the process of award of the contract.

Why prioritize road construction over train transportation system

I have been saying this thing that Femi Gbajabiamila and Faleke are behind the witchunting going on in our party, Faleke is using Gbajabiamila and their efcc puppet chairman to hunt people they dislike. What power did Gbajabiamila and Faleke have to be witchunting people who made sure asiwaju becomes president? Who is Gbajabiamila and Faleke in the scheme of things? I hope asiwaju will stop all these rubbish before this Gbajabiamila and Faleke destroy our party. They were just privileged to be close to asiwaju but they have no weight, they are paper weight politicians.
According to what I heard by some important people, hmmm I hope asiwaju is still interested in second term kos he's killing it already. Elrufai is deadly and has a strong grip in the north. May Gbajabiamila and Faleke not destroy our party. Nonsense

Also I'm not feeling Remi Tinubu's impact as the first lady, as a woman you should watch over your husband's success and fiercely move against anyone that may try to bring him down with their reckless attitude. I trust patience Jonathan on this. Remi is weak. The two most outstanding first ladies Nigeria ever had are late Maryam Babangida and Patience Jonathan. Kudos to them

Don't dare argue with me, I eavesdrop in a lot of conversations by people that matters in the political scheme

Do you mean the situation of ElRufai and Yahaya Bella is witch-hunt in your party?

You mindset is so ridiculous and annoying. Especially on Yahaya Bello - Do you expect EFCC to turn a blind eye to his corruption and allegations against him?

🇺🇸 US Congress members from both parties have warned the International Criminal Court that Washington will retaliate against the court if it issues arrest warrants against top 🇮🇱 Israeli officials, Axios reports.

The report says legislation on the matter is already being worked on, citing House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, as expecting a bill to sanction ICC officials but adding: “We hope it doesn’t come to that.”

Meanwhile, US House Speaker Mike Johnson slams the reported intention to issue arrest warrants over the Gaza war.

“It is disgraceful that the International Criminal Court is reportedly planning to issue baseless and illegitimate arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials,” Johnson says in a statement.

“Such a lawless action by the ICC would directly undermine US national security interests. If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel, thereby endangering our country’s sovereign authority,” Johnson adds.

This emphasizes the level of hypocrisy exhibited by the United States of America. I am very disappointed and pissed with the American government.

Now I can conclude that America orchestrated the war attacks, genocide and oppression of the Palestinians.

So Nigeria must obey ICC on Bakassi Peninsula but USA wants threaten the court to when it's decision is against their interest.

This government is becoming ridiculous. Local refineries should be prioritized and supply of crude oil to the refineries at reasonable prices should be government's priority.

How can you be selling Nigerian crude oil, at given price into the future, without adequate provision for local refineries. The local refineries should have right of first refusal

Flakky26:

learn a skill before he or she becomes 18 years.

You can learn skills while in any institution or school. That is not excuse to restrict the minimum entry age of students into tertiary institutions

Flakky26:
What happen too when they graduate at age 22 and no jobs?

Is that your reason why you would rather children must only only get admitted into tertiary institution at age 18 years, minimum.

Karl Witte – Age 13
Witte was born in July of 1800 and was the son of a pastor named Karl Heinrich Goffried Witte. His father encouraged a rigorous learning environment and program. By the time Witte was nine years old he could speak German, French, Italian, Latin, and Greek. When he was still very young, he attended the University of Giessen in German and graduated with his doctorate at the age of 13. He still holds the Guinness Book of World Records’ record for youngest doctorate and this distinction still stands.

Witte’s father wrote a book about his program of education called The Education of Karl Witte: Or, The Training of a Child. This book was highly criticized in German and fell out of favor. It was almost nonexistent in the country. However, the book became a huge hit in China and became a bestseller at the beginning of the 21st century. Millions of Chinese had hoped that their child would turn out to be just like Witte: A child prodigy.

The University of Giessen today is officially known as Justus-Liebig-University Giessen. The German system of higher education is very different from that of the one in the U.S. They do not have a tripartite system of BA/BS, MA, then PhD. Rather, German students go through a phase of advanced and junior studies for four semesters and then take an intermediate exam. Upon passing this exam, the student can then proceed to advanced and senior studies (6-8 semesters). This gives the student access to their first degree exams> The next level of study after that is the doctoral level.

Much of the rest of Witte’s life is clouded in mystery. It is said that he traveled through Italy in 1818 and had sought to become a lawyer at one point. However, he became known for and published on the works of Dante. His love of literature drew him to the epic poet and he spent his career as a Dante scholar.

I don't think the decision of the FG to limit minimum age for entry into tertiary institution to 18years old is proper.

Some children are born genius and they should have the opportunities to develop at their own pace.

When you make an old and less informed man the Minister of education, this is what you get.

See what police men at Egba Benin Auchi byepass did to my friends yesterday.

The police men from Egba devision opened fire on my friends almost killing one.
They were traveling from Auchi to Benin
They got to egba they met policemen at checkpoint.
The policemen were attending to other cars and my friends were in a hurry
They tried to pass the check point the police man threatened them by pointing his gun, my friends thought it was just to scare them
Not knowing that the police man will shoot.

The officer opened fire which almost sent them to grave.

Check pics under

My friend is currently battling with his life

Modified pls how do I report this to the necessary authorities

Modified pls not everybody that drive or own a car are into yahoo.

Fine I know my friends did wrong by trying to go without stopping

But it s not enough reason to shoot

If if that bullet had hit someone else and missed the target.

You don’t open fire anyhow

Oga, your friends presented themselves as suspects, the police officer followed the rules of engagement before he opened fire.

I guess your friends were on drugs.

Iran 3 : 1 Isreali
Mad respect for Iran abeg
Some people might said Iran did not kill any Isreali military personnel, but Iran hitting Isreali from home is a new thing.
Iran talked and did it, that’s the main point.

Never did even USA military think Iran can do it.
Isreali have been killing Iranian military men in Syria but hitting that embassy was a red line.
Russia have been hitting Ukraine but never any of the embassies located in Ukraine because embassy represent a country.

If not for Jordan, USA and UK that help Isreal overcome those Iranian drones and missiles, Isreali this morning would have look like Syria.
The USA and her allies spent over 500M dollars defending Isreal against Iran drones and missiles last night.

Let’s see what Isreali will do because if they can’t hit Iran back then the world will know that Isreali military are only great against defenceless enemies like Hamas and Syria that have been at war for over 10 years, making it too weak to fight against Israel.

Modified:- some of you carry Isreali matter for head past the Israelites themselves.
Isreal, Saudi and Iran don’t care about you especially Africans.

All that matters is that Iran show some balls by launching drones and missiles on Isreali from Iran not Syria.
Let’s see if Isreali can do the same.

I honestly think Israel is lying about the casualties. That attack from Iran caused them severe causalities than they want to admit.

They want to look look invisible and indomitable but they are actually beatable

Nigeria people please help

Mohbad’s father opens a GofundMe account, says Nigerians who wants justice for Mohbad should please donate

In a move stirring mixed reactions, the father of late Nigerian singer Mohbad, Mr. Joseph Aloba, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for further investigation into his son’s death.
Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, passed away in October 2023. Mr. Aloba claims the official cause of death remains unclear, and he desires a more thorough investigation. Additionally, he seeks funds to conduct a DNA test on his late son’s child, Liam.
The GoFundMe campaign specifically appeals to Nigerians seeking “justice for Mohbad.” This has drawn some criticism, with questions raised about the purpose of the DNA test and the allocation of donated funds.
Mr. Aloba previously stated his desire for a double DNA test “for authenticity” but hasn’t elaborated on suspicions surrounding Liam’s paternity.
Whether the GoFundMe campaign will garner significant support remains to be seen. Some fans have expressed a willingness to help find the truth about Mohbad’s death, while others question the necessity of crowdfunding for such purposes.

Tragically we lost a close friend to the cold hands of death who passed away in a ghastly motor accident.

He was in his late thirties to early forties,unmarried, no child, and a Christian from the North west.

In solidarity, we his friends, proposed to hold a formal wake keep for him at his Abuja residence and promptly began the preparation process. This included securing the services of a DJ and arranging refreshments for the gathering.

Certain members of his family objected to the idea of the wake keep, contending that it was inappropriate for us to engage in partying and funfair following the untimely passing of their loved one. They insisted we limit the gathering to just a public address system and a choir to sing, nothing more.

Some of our friends are threatening to hands-off and withdraw their involvement from everything about the funeral including not attending the burial and allow the family members do whatever that pleases them.
Others are of the opinion that we should ignore the family members and go ahead with our plans since we are going to be paying respect to our late friend and not members of his family.

What do you guys think?

The family has little or no control over you guys, you need no fund from the family so I think you guys can go ahead with your plans.

You have shown respect to the family by informing them about the event. He was their son and he was also your friend.

However, keep the celebration on a low key. Drinks, food, DJ and others are fine by me. You can also take it away from his residence.

Nice one

We need 30000 mw at least before we can see light 24/7. That's a lot of money and total deregulation, not the partial one tinubu is doing is a start.

Back when sim cards were costing 10000 naira or more, service was bad because the GSM companies had to build things from scratch. Nitel had zero GSM infrastructure for them to work with. That's why GSM was expensive until investment and completion came in eventually

Our power sector, even at 22000 mw the current. Installed capacity cannot give us light at all for 24/7. The transmission system was new in the 1970s. Both need fixing, and it is billions of dollars before we can see some sense.

I wish there was another way. Solar can only do so much

Do you want to compare GSM service with electricity supply?

If Nigeria can't effectively achieve 24/7 supply of electricity, why enforce a ridiculous rate on the customers when you can't meet the condition? That is fraud in itself. I expect a lot of Nigerians to go into litigation against the DISCOs or do bypass.

The government must provide adequate electricity to justify the bill rate applicable on customers.

Stop being silly and unreasonable
