So you actually believe the nonsense too?

Since you're so adamant in your believe of nonsense sensationalism, can you please name the refinery Nigerian government is building with $2billion of Nigerian money in Niger republic? Would be glad to hear it since you guys are so informed.

Also, how did you and you arrive at the conclusion that Nigeria is spending $1.9billion for a railway in Niger republic? Last time I checked, the railway is 284km long and connects 3 Nigerian states (Kano, Jigawa and Katsina), but with a 55km extension from Jibayi (Katsina) to Maradi (Niger Rep). Is that the basis on which you made your bizarre conclusion that Nigeria is spending $1.9billion in Niger republic? Does that really make sense to you?

Finally, your headline about these 3 projects costing more than projects in southern Nigeria, for any sound human, is there really any need to discuss that? Yes sensible person supports spending a dime of Nigerian money elsewhere, but can we please be sensible with how we throw about fake figures and statistics.

can you kindly point to where I stated that I believe it?

Why are you so angry? Take a chill pill

OrganicsHub:
No, it seems you're just being mischievous.

Since you seem informed, can you tell us how much Government makes from N288 Billion Leather trade?

Government only receives the amount they pay in tax.

For example, if dangote cement industry is worth 500billion, it doesn’t mean that government receives 500billion from dangote.

u intentional spread hates lies and mischief..idoit. real Men dont hide online are spread rubbish .

So where should they spread it?

liketerm:
Another beer palour gist,

The claims are not true?

obailala:
Sometimes people just shit up stories from their anus and spread it on social media simply cos they know a lot of ignoramuses just swallow the poo.

Are you in anyway saying that these claims are not true?

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has raised important trending issue. He said, the Fulani Nigeria govt has spent more money in Niger Republic than the whole of Southern Nigeria.

He listed

$2B for a refinery in Niger Republic
$1.96B for railway to Niger Republic
$81M for 2 roads to Niger Republic.

Can we argue this.

A lot of you don’t understand how GDP works

All religious beliefs are fake and they don’t work, including Christianity and Islam.

BassReeves:
The joke is on you actually

Actually the joke is on you.

Every of your response oozes of absolute ignorance and brainwashing.

selemempe:
some one reading this would be forgiven for not realising that the region you talked about in the first paragraph is actually the region that harbours the second and fourth deadliest terrorist groups in the world.
He would also not realize that it is the region where farmers pay bandits to go to farm. Nor would he believe it is the region were kidnapping of school kids is an everyday occurrence. You are busy building your infrastructure. Lmao. Of course you are the only people building your infrastructure. The Rest of Nigeria is building their outfrastructure.
In 2021 and after being in power for over 45 years, the north is still suffering every single one of the issues it suffered preindepence. From malnutrition, to outdated diseases to poor education etc Only that this time you have added terrorism to your woes.

I accept everything you said If that calms you down. The reality on ground however says a whole different thing

Damn

Rossiminku:
Animal husbandry accounts for less than 5% of GDP.

AGRICULTURE, which is a NORTHERN preserve, is where their contribution to GDP is the greatest.

99% of the tomatoes and onions you use in your stew, where do you think they come from?

Mumu. You don't even know that you will starve without food from the north.

Your people are into spare parts dealing, selling imported goods from China, and drug trafficking, not food or much other production.

So the north contributes more than you to the economy.

how much of the money is contributed to federal account?

Rossiminku:
Why must income generated end up as ''federal revenue'', ie in government pockets, for it to count in your head?

Tomorrow you will be shouting govt corruption.

The real progress is in the money ending up in the pockets of the people, NOT in the government treasury.

Because if I’m herding cows and I don’t pay tax to federal government. It will be accounted for in the GDP and not in the federal revenue. The profit from that business ends up in my account. That doesn’t contribute to national building. That’s what northerners do and that’s why they are parasites


100% of the oil in the east ends up in federal revenue account.

That’s what most northerners do.

Rossiminku:
I don't think you understand what GDP means.

What is your own with government purse?

That is not the only place money flows from in Nigeria.

GDP is the value of all domestic goods and services in a particular organization or society.
Some might end up in private account, some in states account and other in federal account.
So how much of the GDP fraction for your non-oil GDP ends up as a federal revenue?

Rossiminku:
Annual GDP is how you measure a nation's economy, not foreign exchange receipts from the sale of oil.

Oil accounts for just 9% of Nigeria's annual GDP of 450 billion USD.

A far bigger contributor to our GDP is Agriculture, and the north is the epicentre of Agriculture in Nigeria.

So the north contributes FAR MORE than the south-east to the Nigerian economy.

How much of the GDP from north ends up in government purse?

owobokiri:
Why are Yorubas claiming Lagos when everyone knows Lagos belongs to the Aworis and the Eguns?

Why are fulanis claiming Sokoto when everyone knows that they come from Futaa jallon?

That guy is an Hausa guy, they contribute nothing to federal pocket.

BassReeves:
Is Muhammed a muslim?

We are talking about planets.

BassReeves:
More than you can ever imagine

ok, so what do you understand about planetary system formation?

OrganicsHub:
You really made me laugh with this rather ignorant and condescending question.

Did you know Nigeria's leather industry is worth over $600 million USD (Over N288 Billion) according to latest figures from independent knowledge and personal experience? Do you know we export to Italian designers like Louis Vuitton from Kano?

I'm a licensed exporter just so you know.

https://www.leathermag.com/news/newsnigerian-leather-exports-worth-600-million-a-year-7166029#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20report%2C%20Nigeria,is%20valued%20at%20%24272%20billion.

it doesn’t mean that government gets the 288billion yearly na? It’s just it’s worth not what government gets from them. You are just mixing everything up.

OrganicsHub:
How can you even say that with a straight face? So where does export REVENUE go to? Your understanding of the word is where you're getting it wrong.



Indeed it is very possible because Nigeria's GDP as at 2020 stood at $443 Billion USD so how is it impossible for leather to generate $4.8b which is just over 1% of that? I suspect you're ignorant of Nigeria's leather trade.

Do even know what you are talking about?
1 in 100 of what Nigeria produces in amount is leather?

We are talking about even export here not all the leather products.

OrganicsHub:
Read carefully.

Take note of the words "export revenue" and look at the definition again.

Export revenue doesn’t mean it goes to the government purse. That’s why you are getting it wrong.

Going by that article, it means that we if government charges 5% tariff which summed up to 240million USD, it means that tanned skinned products exported in total is about 4.8billion USD. Lol

How much come be our GDP sef wey only tanned skin product go account for 4.8billion USD

OrganicsHub:
Why would a govt expressly over-report and state that it generated revenue (pay attention to those words) of Bleep amount off the trade of a product, if it only earned marginal levies on that product which was less than that amount? It doesn't make sense.

Again you are confusing export volume with export value. Common mistake.

Theres nothing in your articles that explicitly says that government generated 280billion from duties of agricultural export. It doesn’t even just make sense to think that it can be achievable in Nigeria currently.

What it means that if government charges 5% tariff which is 280million then we exported about 5trillion worth it Agricultural products. Haba, does that make any sense?

OrganicsHub:
Wrong. That is not the meaning of revenue.

I knew you had a poor understanding of the word "revenue" and that's why I started by asking you to define your understanding of the word.

Here is my knowledge and understanding of the word Revenue.



There is a BIG difference between a sector's GDP Contribution into the economy and Government Revenue.

Show us your own definition/understanding and where you got it from.

lol, go and browse export revenue and come back.

I’m going to give a scenario to help you get this better; in 2019 Nigeria generated 3.5trillion naira as revenue. Majority of this revenue Came from oil and gas, corporate income tax, social insurance taxes, individual taxes and just 5% was from other revenues.

Other revenues includes:
estate and gift taxes, customs duties, earnings from the Federal Reserve System, and various fees and charges. Obviously this tax is where the agricultural export duties fall into.


5% of 3.5trillion is 175billion, so how can only Agricultural export generate 280billion duties for government? Majority of the custom duties come from importation and I think it didn’t even generate up to that amount. We have not even added all other taxes in this category

Think am well na

When they give you figures of export, they are not telling you how much government made from it but rather the amount in volume and amounts that left that country.

OrganicsHub:
I quite understand the concept.

However the mistake you're making, is that the Government in this case clearly stated the REVENUE (Duties, Levies, Taxes) it received (generated) and not the trade volume.

There is a BIG difference between Revenue and Trade Volume.

Do you now understand?

Export revenue, didn’t say in terms of duties. Revenue means, what it brought to the economy and not federal account.

Do you get it now?

helinues:
Does it mean Southern Nigeria is educated for nothing?

well, I really do not know but kinda think so.

I personally think he is making point

NorthernAgender:
Of course I knew this small thing they will banned and deleted your topic in the midnight while sleeping.

Why don’t you want to leave the country?

Let’s get our oduduwa country and you lots up north will suffer hell. Parasites

ahiboilandgas:
I call on Northern firms and interest to stop placing advert on a forum that is clearly tribalistic ,anti north .most moderators are bigots .try and create a topic about ipob and their nusaince watch it disspear. But a anti north topic will allow to fester .don't place advert on such forum .don't give the site more jet fuel to abuse , insult the North..we are very capable of creating a more decent forum.

Cry baby

Cristiano Ronaldo has further stoked the flames of speculation regarding his Juventus career by issuing a lengthy, cryptic statement on social media in which he reflects on failed title bid and the achieving of his personal goals.

For weeks Ronaldo has been linked with a Turin exit, which was intensified recently when the 36-year-old had each of his luxury super cars professional transported away from his mansion under the cover of darkness.

It took victory on the final weekend of the season - and for rivals Napoli to drop points - in order for Juve to finish in the top four by the skin of their teeth and secure Champions League football for next season.

Despite this, however, Ronaldo is poised for showdown talks with the club after which he could opt for a final spell elsewhere for the final years of his football career. The Instagram statement, issued on Tuesday night, has only served to keep tongues wagging.

In the cryptic 373-word address, Ronaldo wrote: 'The life and career of any top player are made of ups and downs.

'Year after year, we face fantastic teams, with extraordinary players and ambitious goals, so we always have to give our best to keep ourselves at excellence levels.

'This year we couldn’t win Serie A, congratulations to Inter for the well deserved title. However, I have to value everything that we achieved this season at Juventus, both in collective and individual terms.

'The Italian Super Cup, the Italian Cup and the Serie A Top Scorer trophy fill me with happiness, mainly due to the difficulty they carry with them, in a country where nothing is easy to win.

'With these achievements, I reached a goal that I had set myself since the first day I arrived in Italy: to win the Championship, the Cup and the Super Cup, and also to be Best Player and Top Scorer in this great football country filled with tremendous players, giant clubs and a very own football culture.

'I’ve already said that I don’t chase records, records chase me. For those who don't understand what I mean by this, it’s very simple: football is a collective game, but it is through individual overcoming that we help our teams achieve their goals.

'It is always looking for more and more on the field, working more and more off the field, that records eventually emerge and collective titles become inevitable, some being the natural consequence of the other.

'So, I'm very proud with this fact that has been widely replicated in recent days: Champion in England, Spain and Italy; Cup winner in England, Spain and Italy; Super Cup winner in England, Spain and Italy; Best Player in England, Spain and Italy; Best Scorer in England, Spain and Italy; Over 100 goals for a club in England, Spain and Italy.

'Nothing compares to the feeling of knowing that I’ve left my mark in the countries where I’ve played, and that I gave joy to the fans of the clubs I represented. This is what I work for, this is what moves me and this is what I’ll always keep chasing for until the last day.'

It was the final sign-off of the post, however, which saw many people left with lingering questions, as Ronaldo issued an open thanks to all those who had been part of the 'journey', suggesting something was perhaps coming to an end.

He added: 'Thanks to everyone who took part in this journey! We stand together!'

In response, many fans were left sharing a similar opinion that Ronaldo was effectively outlining a goodbye message. One user responded by accusing the Portuguese ace of wanting to flee 'a sinking ship.'

The football world was left shocked on Sunday, when Ronaldo was sensationally dropped to the bench by under-fire manager Andrea Pirlo for Juve's crucial season-ender with Bologna.

The Portuguese talisman, who finished the season with 29 goals - five ahead of Romelu Lukaku - to win the Golden Boot, did not even get onto the pitch as Juve took a 4-1 victory.

Goals arrived courtesy of Federico Chiesa, Adrien Rabiot and an Alvaro Morata brace as Juve finished the season on a high. Napoli's 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona meant a Champions League place was sealed by just one point.

Ronaldo, who is Juve's top earning star, is contracted until next summer though the club's chief football officer, Fabio Paratici, has already said a new a deal is 'not on the agenda.'

The 36-year-old has been linked with a host of clubs in recent weeks, including emotional returns to either his boyhood club Sporting Lisbon or an Old Trafford swansong with Manchester United.

French giants Paris Saint Germain have also been mooted, with Ronaldo's said to be considered as a stopgap replacement for wanted star Kylian Mbappe.

This guy is a narcissist and he’s very insecure.

Who ask am all these questions?

OrganicsHub:
That your claims are patently false. You don't know what you're saying.

You claim that reported government revenue from agriculture does not enter government accounts.How does that make sense?

Pay attention to the word revenue.

The reported figures for agriculture are in export volumes not particularly government revenue. The figure presents the volume and the worth of the exports by the agricultural sector, not how much government generated from it.
For example, if I own a cocoa farm and willing to export 2tons for N4million to Kenya, the volume and worth will be reported but if government charges 10% tariff on every export made, I will only remit 400k to government account. They are two different stuffs.
Government can only charge duties and taxes from that volume.

Is that big to understand?

OrganicsHub:
Good. I have helped you get it from Google.

Now, If government reports that it has received 5 naira as REVENUE, how much has entered govt. accounts?

What point are you trying to make?

BassReeves:
If you cant, then let go

Day was determined before the creation of sun wasn't it?

I do that now and then in my pastime

The Bible can be reliable for things like this, if you're experienced enough and know where to look or how to look. Astronomy,beloved, doesnt have all the answer

Do you understand basic astronomy?

OrganicsHub:
Simple Question. Shebi you claim to be educated?

What do you understand by GOVERNMENT REVENUE?

Why must you ask silly questions?
I can just go and get this from google Even if I don’t know it.
