It’s a no brainer. Rich people put most of their money in family charity foundations to avoid paying hefty taxes on them. It’s like a financial security like no other.

Wealthy people(not salary earners) wealth are mostly in stocks and properties
and such cannot be put into charity.
Very little of Gate's money is actually in cash.
Even if there was cash sitting somewhere, there is no tax on holding cash
that has already been taxed at least in the US so no point in putting them in charity
to avoid tax.

Billionaires have been passing down their wealth through generations with this effective method throughout modern history. His children will still be very much in charge of his wealth when he dies, but only indirectly.

That is not how it works.
Only if the kids are already part of the charity, if not, the control goes to the
foundation trust.

See Game Plan in Progress - Distraction
Before you know 6 months is up and he will leave without any economic impact; but the money . . .

What game?
The chance of him leaving in 6 months is very slim because
neither Fubara nor the assembly members have made any peace move.

When did you become Yoruba spokesperson?
Sunday Igboho holds no position, traditional or political and owes you nothing.
So, your fake disappointment doesn't make sense.

There are people elected, appointed and paid to tackle security issues which you
should face starting from Tinubu himself but you won't for obvious reasons.

That is the official policy of Islam wherever it gets political power.

gawu1:
One of the worst governors to date, he rose to power largely due to his family's name and wealth. During the election campaign, his nephew, Davido, leveraged his social status to intimidate anyone opposing this incompetent governor. However, this disgraceful behavior is unlikely to gain traction among Obidunce supporters because he is regarded as one of the "friendly governors." If it were the new governor of Edo, those troublemakers would have inundated social media with words, pictures, and videos mocking and ridiculing him.

Please, tell us what makes him one of the worst governors.
Also, give at least two examples of the other worst governors so we can compare.

Mccollins042:
What was the tariff for in the first place? Was it not to get these countries on the negotiation table?.

What negotiation and which country has negotiated anything?
Tariffs were meant to correct the global "unfair" system and "cheating" of
Americans according to Trump and his supporters.
It was supposed to bring back manufacturing and jobs to the US.
Why will any sane person who believes in such benefits later make a U-turn?

Whether you believe it or not, his strategy is working for now

There is no strategy.
This guy is too dull to even plan 1 hour ahead.
He flip flops like a 4 year old kid in a toy store.
And the so-called tough man cracked without getting anything in return despite
crashing the stock market.

When you say it is working, where are the results?
Where are the new better deals he signed?

Who is surprised at this?
Arab racism is well-known and documented.
Only thing is that all of them support it, there is no opposing voice to these
inhumane actions.

steeltrust:
He Doesn’t Fear Power

Yes, because that is his job and he has little to nothing to lose.

He’s Not Part of the Club

What club really?

Strong Institutions Over Strongmen

Sowore is the direct opposite of this.
Just check all your write up and what you know about him.
What exactly can you point as his institutional policy or credential?
Absolutely none.
Like other "idealist", every cell in his body makes him think he has some
divine mandate that only him can execute.

In fact, with such character, institutions or any semblance of them will
be completely dead until they are out of office(if they leave peacefully).

omoredia:
Leftists. Not Americans

Russia didn't start existing in 2008.
Perhaps Google "Red Scare" to learn better.

ImpartialGuy:
Do these stupid leaders (both in the USA and China) know the impact heir decisions are having on people's businesses and daily lives?

Just come out fully as maga.
This "both sides" argument no longer works.
Everybody knows the stupid instigator.

Aguogba:
US already has sweeping sanctions on not just Russia but anyone that does business with them (Energy ). It makes zero sense to impose tariffs on them while on trade sanctions.

Stop swallowing the party lies.
It makes all sense to sanction Russia as US still trades with Russia in energy products.
There were sanctions but the trade never stopped.

And there was no sanction on any country for buying Russian oil.
None. The sanction merely limits the price they can pay for it.

Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States.

Fake 75 countries.
Every sane person knows that he is lying through his teeth.
The childish man claimed they were begging him on their knees, yet he couldn't name one of them who did.

Why will he pause the tariffs that was designed to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US?
Is he tired of winning?

hmm

Fake news.
It has actually reduced by infinity percent

Emotional article.

NybenSBF101:
Try and watch Stephen Miller's interview about the case. The said man is not a legal immigrant. He has missed his court appointment on numerous occasions. He has gang ties. Please turn off CNN

It is like asking me to listen to what Trump says.
Or a Nigerian equivalent of quoting Reno about a political case with presidential interest.

Only gullible and ignorant people do that.
Worst of all is to parrot what any of such character say outside of the cult bubble.

Miller should have presented his evidence to the court instead of granting an interview.
You should be ashamed to reference him.

NybenSBF101:
The said man is an illegal immigrant with ties of MS 13

No, he isn't.
Not even Trump lawyer made the claim.
They said they can't bring him back because El Savador is a sovereign country.
Try to get news from multiple sources to compare.

Where is the source?

Tijani009:
Oga sir Nigeria started the war, during buharis administration that was when Nigeria government placed ban on this items , you don't want imported goods in your country that is not self sufficient in it's production but you wan to export to a country that is self sufficient, I was expecting this from America a long time ago

You are either ignorant or lying.
Nigeria has had bans on several items from all countries for decades even before OBJ.
Some items change but we have never allowed free for all imports.

US is not self-sufficient in anything, it heavily depends on import.

And before celebrating the stupid Trump action, majority of our exports
to US are energy related and exempted from tariffs.
That is why Nigeria will do nothing and let Trump and his minions
continue to bark.

Truthcat:
Not true!
Illegal imigrant is exactly what it is.

Overstaying your visa.
Coming through the border illegally.
Committing visa crimes.

Citizens and legal immigrants have been detained.
And a fully legal man was even sent to El Savador prison in "error".
Funny thing is that Trump is refusing to bring him back.

And the icing on the cake is that citizenship and green card can
be withdrawn if Trump feels like it thus converting a person into
an illegal immigrant.

rickleye:
It isn’t as easy as you think IMO.

It is.

Why would a human degrade to selling babies , kidnapping simply put - due to economic hardships.

It is only a degradation if the participants think that way.
Don't assume they share the same moral as usual.

This poor attempt to excuse all crimes with economic hardship is kind of lame.
Most baby factory products does not involve kidnapping, they rent pregnant teens
or hire impregnators for others.
This is what makes it easy to tackle since the products takes months to "mature"
and be ready for sale.
All that is needed is to incentivize the poor pregnant teens to snitch on the operator.

Fix the economy and create jobs . Thats gonna take decades … we still aren’t manufacturing much anything we can export . Except Oil

Even if you fix the economy and create jobs, it will not stop lucrative crimes like baby factory.

Why would he?
That will threaten is livelihood.

Mrexcell:
Not all are actually tricks some of them use demonic powers to perform haven't u watched those american magicians that levitate and climb skyscrapers with their bare hands like spiders?

I was waiting for this dumb comment.
I bet you are very angry that the magician is performing demonic juju live?
The most unfortunate thing is that you are an adult and still think this way.

jaksmillioniar:
who is doing it is it not ibo

What's your point?

Iweakbro:
Lol, little kid. Guess who has been achieving a $200+ bullion trade surplus against the US? China! Last year alone, they achieved 340 + billion dollars in trade surplus. Why do you think they are arranging for a meeting so badly? Where will all those exports go? Lol. China is the biggest loser here.

Anybody who got conned by Trump literally belonged to the most foolish group the world has ever seen.
Extremely pliable and incapable of independent thinking.

Idiots like you who are education-challenged should not be seen posting about important public issues.
Imagine if the money spent on educating was invested in the S&P?
Oh, never mind, it would have ended up in smoke.

Smartwave:
Nigeria? Or your people?

Which people?
Are you slow or what?

Singhabele:
If China produce the nice cheap goods in the world if they don't enter American marker how will dey make money ?

13% of Chinese goods ends up in the US.
It is much but it is not 100%
China's largest trade partner is Europe with 28% share.

Is it Europe or africa that will buy such goods? Europe is struggling sane with africa. Indeed us still hold d stakes

They will just stop producing excess.
Reality is quite different from what you guys imagine.

When countries are at war(actual or trade), everybody knows both
sides must lose.
The question is who blinks first.

More Americans becoming homeless who also have the right to vote or
the poor Chinese becoming poorer who can't even protest?

I can tell you for a fact, that it is much worse being a once rich person
than just a poor person becoming poorer.

whnowz:
This baby factory issue is not ending soon no matter how they try, as people keep looking for children and don't want to go the normal way 9f adoption.

It is very easy to end such trade in humans.
It is just that Nigeria doesn't think it is an emergency.

Yes, everything is not about money for someone who doesn't worry
about where there next meal is coming from.

hopedey:
By the time she finishes her money she will run back to US...

She won't.
This motivational speakers usually have support that they won't tell you.
She could have found a sponsor who encourages her to relocate.
She could already be running a highly profitable business in Nigeria.
We don't even know her family background.

They never reveal their unfair advantage because it will make their story less gracious.

NybenSBF101:
You are contradicting yourself

I know comprehension is very hard for some people, especially Trump supporter.
But I won't break it down to a seven year old level similar to Trump's vocabulary.

ttmacoy:
Lol please stop. The aim of the tariffs coupled with other policies such as tax policies etc. is to encourage companies both US and foreign companies to increase production in the US.

This is about tariff and its effect, nothing to do with how Trump chose to tax or not tax its citizens.

Your statement that the EU industrial sector is stronger than the US aside EV and weapons makes absolutely no sense,

Because you say so?
This isn't some super secret information. It is not hard to compare both countries industrial outputs.

nd my point remains the buyer has the upper hand here not the seller.

The buyer having the upper hand only make sense when it has options or can produce
all the goods itself and more importantly it is willing to commit economic suicide for a small chance of
winning in a future scenario.
Trump may be a fool but the wealthy elites aren't. They know that any advantage given up for the war is lost forever.

You probably think the EU is some poor African country like Zimbabwe with no economic
leverage.

If as you say the EU has better industrials, they need to sell their products right? So unless they have a ready market to soak up falling demand from the US they have to work with the US to retain access and sell.

US also need access for its service industry which dwarfs every other market in the globe.
And also its electric vehicles and weapons.
This isn't a one-way street as Trump and his supporters wish it was.

The tariffs puts their access at risk because it will make their products more expensive, so unless they have lots of products with no competition or alternatives the average person will be driven by prices and their sales will fall.

[quote]Many EU companies and also American companies are already dealing with falling demand from China as the Chinese prioritize and push local brands, I can assure you that they cannot withstand falling demand in the US as well without significant impact.

You said many EU and American countries are dealing with falling demand.
Then went ahead to claim that they cannot withstand falling US demand.
At this point, your argument is based on nothing but extreme fetishization of super-nation American
that can do anything it likes but will never be affected. This isn't Hollyhood!
There is a reason it is called a trade war and not trade beatings.

EU tariffs is coming BTW. This was made to placate the placate the moderate members who wants to try negotiation first.
You and Trump will learn that it doesn't how big of a gun you think you carry, if your opponent can also shoot accurately,
then "winning" becomes more complicated with serious and even fatal injuries.
