Interesting.

One thing about this President is that he is BOLD

He goes where no previous leader dared to go.

1. Fuel Subsidy - removed. GEJ folded at the first sign of protest at Ojota.

2. FCT minister - gave it a Southerner

3. Student loan scheme - in the works

4. Coastal road - ongoing

And so on..

But this horrible 0.5 or 0.005% tax on bank transfer his government wants to introduce is too much. We are hearing too of Telecom tax. There's the dreaded Band A electricity palaver on ground.

Excessive taxes are suffocating the people and the economy.

That tax is just for specific businesses and not for individuals.
The businesses are:
GSM service providers and all telecom companies; Internet service providers; Banks and other financial institutions; Insurance companies; and Nigeria stock exchange.
My only concern is these organizations and businesses might fraudulently channel this charges to us. Almost all of them does not like to pay their taxes from their legitimate income but indirectly charging the customers.

Really? Is this why all the roads leading to the Secretariat is blocked?

The parents has no dime, people raised 315k for them and they took private taxi to the water side, they are very stupid and useless.
Why can't they just take a row/sit in a public bus to transport them?
Again, all their family members can't contribute ordinary 500k, it is well.
RIP

Good. She should be able to defend herself with proofs and facts.

If not for Air Peace, one way ticket to the UK would still remain over #2m+; BA was even charging over #3m and Nigeria pessimists castigating Air Peace now would still be defending the foreign airlines why they are charging so high.
Then those nitwits are fond of saying 'tax this', 'tax that' made the fee high... Are those taxes not existing again? Did Air Peace removed those taxes for them?
We Nigerians should just unite and fly Air Peace. Those foreign airlines have made 6 years profit in one years extortion us. Now they don't mind running theirs businesses with no profit for the next two years to frustrate Air Peace.

Do you even understand what foreign reserve depletion means?

Stop talking like a pessimist as I believe you are not one.
The force of demand and supply is what is controlling Naira vs $ now.

For like one or two weeks ago, demand for $ to import diesel has almost vanished since Dangote started selling his diesel and A1 Aviation fuel and in Naira. This brings down demand for $ a little. We are still awaiting PMS as this will further strengthen our Naira.

Imagine we don't import anything into Nigeria from overseas again, our Naira will almost be on par with $ but we must import one thing or the other.

Then, FG borrows $1.5b to subsidize $ monthly. I and my family enjoy the subsidized $ by FG so much up until the last day but we must not burn down our country for crumbs.

clarocuzioo:
Dollar going down is a welcomed development. Its just unfortunate the CBN is using our foreign reserve to defend the Naira.

We are depleting our foreign reserves.

Tinubu simply returned to Emefiele's policies they criticized.

Wake up from your slumber, FG is not and can never subside $ again no matter who is the president. The lower the demand for $ in the market, the more our Naira will appreciate.
Don't also forget Dangote refineries is selling his products in Naira. Once he starts selling PMS, our currency will appreciate further as the demand for $ to import PMS from overseas will vanished!

There is always a variation in construction contract as the prices of materials rise in the market. The lead consultant, cost consultant and the contractor will arrive at a percentage of variation to be adopted for every material.
The quality of work should not be affected by this if you are a reputable contractor.

You are trying your best to explain the right thing to someone that is completely dull in addition to pessimism nature. It's going to be an exercise in futility.
Contractors that so many of them have been paid upward years back and they did nothing. The civil servants in the ministry of work are the ones behind these.

Ejebleje:
Nothing wey you fit do to please Nigerians. A lot of Nigerians have been clamoring for this sort of indigenous act, that prioritizes Nigerians over expatriate employees,yet a Nigerian body is trying to revolt against it.

Soon, you will understand that most Nigerians are pessimist. They derive joy when bad things happen. You will hardly find a good news on Nairaland with at least 10 pages. They lack the right information and they will be gallivanting on their stupidity.
Many of them didn't know so many countries are doing the same one way or the other.
E.G: Some years ago, this same China impose 100% tax levy on any of their football club that sign a foreigner. That is a club that signed a foreigner for $50m will pay same amount as tax. This has made the Chinese football club resolved to using their home grown players. China was the one doing what Saudi League is doing now prior to the taxation because it will affect their economy when they started paying old players including Iniesta amount they couldn't even earn in their prime.

Enjoying your Val at 10.05 on a Wednesday morning

I know it is your life, but how about doing something productive to make some money early in the day and then coming back in the evening to enjoy your Val.

Don't mind him except he works from home. Lazy and unwise people are also now shouting bleeding nation.

Emperormartin:
As a Nigerian I will have to admit the Coach is wrong here.

He's placing Club commitment first to his nation's committee.

In football world, it's your country first then all other things follows

The rise of Nwabali is the best thing that could happen to him .
You should understand that man is after money. Imagine European top club offer to buy Nwabali. His price tag will be much more than his club entire worth.

With my experience with one of the banks today, these banks still found another method to hoard these hard currencies.

7yrs...but they sent a pastor to life for same crime ....

Lagos state criminal law is different from other states in Nigeria.
Rape without remorse is life imprisonment in Lagos, the lucky ones can receive within 20-50years; Kidnapping is life imprisonment or capital punishment in Lagos too while both crime can attract just 3-7years imprisonment in Oyo state. Same way blasphemy is a capital punishment is most northern states which it is a low gravity crime in the south.

The former owner lives in US, that's what he drives whenever he's in town, he stopped visiting naija like four years now, so they told his brother to sell it off. I bought it from the guy, I don't know if this story is even true self.
The man who sold it to me, drives an Audi 80. Maybe he's unaware of the problem sha... But I doubt.

When you hear a story like this, most times it is a big lie! They are mostly selling off a nightmare to the next victim. The owner might be looking at you when you are negotiating with the frontrunner.

opamoses1:

He called him a "useless boy" because he acted like one. If he had caused an accident, opinions would be different.

"I am a soldier" said the alleged soldier. I used alleged because he might not even be one. If he is indeed a soldier, then he is meant to maintain an high level of discipline instead of him caught breaking the law.

I was hit by a stupid man driving against the traffic on Wednesday July 19, 2023 at Oniru as I was stepping out of Chicken Republic.
I was in coma for three days. I woke up and found myself in Lagos Island general hospital after three days.
Anybody that drive against the traffic should be thrown into jail!

TajuDEENaMao:


Gov Sanwo-Olu ordered a soldier to be arrested and locked up for riding bike on “one-way” lane Meanwhile, the same Sanwo-Olu was caught driving on “one-way” lane with his long convoy.

This is the life of the average politician in Nigeria. They make rules then use them to oppress the POOR or common Nigerian.

This, in any way, doesn’t exonerate the soldier. He should be made to face the penalty of his unlawful act

You don't live in Lagos. Fashola, SanwoOlu has been driven against the traffic as a governor.

TajuDEENaMao:
The Governor of Lagos State, SanwoOlu goofed by calling the soldier "useless".

I want to tell you anybody that drive against traffic is a bastard and non-entity unless there is an emergency and a siren will be on to notify other road users. They should be thrown in jail. They should be treated like an armed rubber. It is in-humane.

ogbe88:
Like i said, u argue like a bush man.

Your profile picture depict who you are. A non-entity.

Talk like an adult, this is an open forum.

You must be a small boy. If not, you will know almost all past great footballers starting from 1990s and 2000s only go to such mushrooms leagues to retire when they had past their prime. Neymar, Messi, CR7, Benzema and the rest are there now and they all passed their prime. Modric, Toni Kross, Mo Salah, Lewandowski, etc are next. Mbappe and the likes are coming too.
Trailblazers like Pele, Franz Beckenbauer David Beckham, Thierry Henry, Xavi, Iniesta, Gerrard, Lampard, Drogba, etc all went to these mushrooms league to make more money and retire not to compete.

Precious452:
All these peeps saying Carmel league upandan. Do you know the calibre of attackers Ronaldo is competing against in that league. There are the likes of Karim Benzema, Roberto Firmino, Ryad Mahrez, A. Mitrovic, Neymar Jnr, H. Abderazak, Malcom, M. Dembele, G. Nkoudou and even Sadio Mane in his team. These guys are proven attackers still very much younger than him, yet dude is still proving himself. Abeg give Ronaldo his flowers!
He is a very remarkable player. Maybe not conveniently compared to L. Messi but Ronaldo is still a top player, very much among the best and it's very unfair for FIFA not to give him his due respect and recognition.

Any top player including Messi that moved to MLS, Saudi League, Chinese league and the likes only went there to make more money and retire not to compete. NPL is more competitive than them all but lacks funding.

tctrills:

This is just nonsense. How come other elite strikers who came from Europe to Saudi can't double their numbers?
How come Messi in the US league isn't doubling his numbers?
If the Saudi league was so easy then Benzema who was world's best just 2 years ago should be tearing it up.
A 38 years old man is scoring 54 goals when younger boys can't but you still find a way to criticize.

We including you know all elite footballer including Messi that moved to Saudi Arabia, MLS, Chinese league, and the likes went there to make more money and retire. Apart from money involved, Nigeria league is more competitive than all of them by far! The previous season in one of those leagues, the highest goal scorer scored 50+ goals and we don't even know his name. Mbappe 3 goals in 2022 world cup final alone are greater and more valuable than every goals put together from those aforementioned semi-professional leagues.
It is like saying Ighalo is better than Osimeh because he has more goals with Al Wahda in Saudi than Osimeh with Napoli in Seria A this season.

Truth be told, apart from money there is no more difference between Saudi Arabia and Nigeria Premier Leagues.
Someone also scored 54 goals from that same league their previous season and nobody outside the league know him.

You have done well sir. Thank you for the information.

Look for this brand and have peace.

Mama just realized it is easier to face corruption cases in Nigeria than in the developed countries. After all, the current Zamfara governor Dauda Lawal Dare still have money loundary case with EFCC hanging on his neck and he was still voted in as a governor.

immortalcrown:
No!

Lagos MMIA have free Wi-Fi. Still used it last Monday just seven days ago waiting for boarding

AC needs gas

The fines should be increased especially for those that drives against the traffic.

TrumpDonald2:


I think you meant 'prostrating'. I agree with you on Davido being disrespectful. He shouldn't have posted those videos online.

Davido can be disrespectful to him and that's no big deal bro. What many people castigating Israel and his hustling are doing at their various work places are worse than prostrating this guy is using as a side hustle. Most people castigating him cannot save the amount of iphone 14 pro max Israel bought the lady in next five years.
If Israel is a yahoo boy, this lady may not complain. Nothing stops her from starting a family business than online slaying she ventures into. Her phone price alone is much than the capital of many business owners in the country. She should start first then drag his husband into the business she grew.

With the guy hustle, he was able to afford iphone 12 pro max and iphone 14 pro max for this girl which both are over 2million in naira. He is also using the 2010 model Toyota Venza his boss bought for him. While most people castigating him have never amassed a million naira at once in their entire life in whatever jobs they are doing. With all their dignities, they could not afford a good mobile phone. They are all crazy! To hell with their useless pride!!
