I just hate seeing your comments on post. Disgusting

STOP THE HATE

You can just ignore. Too much hate already in this world.

PEACE

This is a plain case of culpable homicide

I guarantee the family will win the case in any court, but the need a private investigator to identify those on duty that switch off the ventilator that day.

So dissapointing that you've been challenged to post your work but nothing so far from you.

Nigerians

All our intelligence agencies needs to be disbanded.

Any yet, you will see my fellow Nigerians lynching someone that stole just common N5000 phone.

This is Billions on Naira, shared in traches of millions.

Yet, we read and pass.

I initially didnt want to reply but this rubbish has been going on for too long.

During this COVID 19 pandemic, ost countries all over the world has tremendously reduced this leading rate.

In US its less than 2%

South Africa that we are competing with has less that 7% reduced from 9% due to the pandemic.

Which country is that, and which leaders do we have?

The entire banking sector has been taken over by corrupt individual, cabals and capitalist. How can the banks be declaring Billions of dividends after tax and yet common people will borrow loan at over 30%.

How do you stimulate the economy, its simply not possible.

Yet, we have a President that is too dumb to take actions in critical areas of the economy.

Front page please...

This is a revelation on how the wealth of Niger Delta and entirely a nation has been stolen by just very few selected people.

This country is irredeemable.

Good day,
I received the batteries and charger ordered.
However, am disappointed you didn’t include ordinary plug for the charger, something as common as charger plugs in Ikeja, how will I plug the adaptor without the plug?
For a N4500 charger?

Hi,

I need battery for Dell Latitude E5440 and HP Probook mt41, what’s the prices?

Am contacting you due to good feedbacks

Nah today?

So they not aware we’ve become a laughing stock around the world?

Our foreign policy is rubbish, they come here make money - we treat them right as foreigners, they reciprocated by treating us like trash. Yet nothing happens.

The House of Representatives have met their match!

Useless bunch of people.

Both the Senate and the HoR needs to be disbanded.

They contribute to the problem of this country....without even considering the their massive pay.

This country?...

Why is everything so messed up!

We can't even honour our own policies!

Why is everything so wrong in my dear country!

If the recovery is so huge, then put a threshold in the policy!

VULCAN:
The paid underlings are here to spout nonsense as usual. All because of N30k a month.

Check out how this one equated Tax on Facebook (which does not sell any goods/services with tax on Amazon(which does)

One thing is certain, none of you will be able to escape the economic tsunami that is coming from Buhari borrowing more money than ALL the governments before him combined.

You MUST reap what you sowed

Dindinrin!

Do I look like riff raffs like you earning or jostling for N30,000?

Nigerians!!!

This is the new norm, every country is doing it now. You can’t be making money from a country and not pay tax!

Every foreign purchase from eBay or Amazon is subjected to online tax, which mean you paying tax to that country, because it’s a law.

Same thing should apply in Nigeria as well, online companies irrespective of where they are based or located should pay tax for income originating from Nigeria.

When is the deadline please?

GeoAfrikana:


No we don't need new prisons. We need more firing squads and swift trial of criminals. How can we be wasting responsible people's tax on criminals?

I concur.

Justice is very critical in any society, firstly it serves as a deterrent to young kids growing up never to follow suit.

Secondly, it heals wounds.

In Nigeria, you find a convicted murderer sentenced to death on death row for years and eventually breaking out of jails. What this means for new aspiring murderers is that they can get away with crimes and murders.

But, if there are firing squad to execute publicly immediately, am telling you most people will think twice.

What we currently need are new modern prisons, in fact, we currently need them now more than roads or anything.

TopeQs:


I only quote you because you seem to have an issue understanding what I wrote.. so re-read again, this time slowly. when you're done, re-quote me and this time, choose your words wisely, I'm not a kid that you could talk to as you please.


yes, I know a lecturer doing the part-time thing.in 4 different university, no imagination whatsoever, it's true.

Mr Tope, this is a faceless forum - it’s not by age or maturity.

Attack the message not the messenger.

Peace out.

gbengadada2004:

Why can't you just take your time to understand the content of the post before typing? The article is about SSANU and not ASUU. The two are not the same. SSANU has keyed in to IPPIS and they are now regretting doing so. This is unlike ASUU that is kicking against it. SSANU members are non-academic staffs in Nigerian universities. They don't do part time job elsewhere. They are not lecturers what made up ASUU. The fact that non-academic staffs who have registered for IPPIS are now regretting their action should tell every right thinking person that ASUU has a good reason for being sceptical about it.

Give this guy a breathing space.

What he said was still relevant in this context.

However, if the IPPIS is not currently perfect, why can’t SSANU and ASUU come out with recommendations to make it better.

We can’t just throw away the baby with the bath water.

This is wrong in all proportion, no matter how hard you and I try to justify it.

Take a min, breath and just imagine for once if it’s another country doing that, now remember it’s a state deporting Nigerians within Nigeria.

My younger sister Tomiwa after a botched surgery. May Allah in his mercy grant her Al-Janah.

Validated:
I think most respondents missed the point. The robbers use POS machine for pin confirmation. Banks should move a step further by ensuring that ATM are:
1. Made inaccesible from dusk to dawn
2. Withdrawals during such times should require authetication token obtainable by biometric means. Most ATMs have finger print recognition botton but our laziness does no make us activate it.
3. POS should be made to store data about any card slotted for which a PIN was entered
4. Commercial Banks and Other POS issuers should require holders to submit electronic activities reports on monthly basis failing which such machines are blocked
5. The Police should rise to the occasion. This is the simplest case to crack.

In this particular one, YES.

But there have been other instances where they robbers use the POS to steal the money, its all over in the news.

LegoxMetahuman:




according to the post which i doubt you guys read


they dont transfer, they only use the pos to confirm your pin is correct, then take your atm card away and withdraw as much as they can before morning when bank will have time to block your card.

In this situation they might not, I have read where they use the POS for the transfer itself.

This is a no brainer issue that requires a simple fix.

All funds paid or transferred to a POS linked account should be made unavailable or kept in lien for 3 working days, will only be cleared for withdrawal or transfer after 3 working days.

That’s how’s it done in some advanced countries, even in some countries it 7 working days, some 1 month.

I don’t know why simple things are so difficult in our country.

Income Tax is different from Value Added Tax (VAT)

I’ll try to break it down, income tax is levied on your income such as salary. The current income tax in Nigeria is one of the lowest in the work, no country can survive at this lower income tax rate. For example, South Africa minimum income tax rate is 25% of your month salary, and like 40% minimum in UK. The country needs to increase the income tax.

The VAT is on anything you purchase in the country. Also one of the lowest in the world at 5/7.5%, this is too low for a country as big as ours that requires modern infrastructure.

The price of US oil has turned negative for the first time in history.

That means oil producers are paying buyers to take the commodity off their hands over fears that storage capacity could run out in May.

Demand for oil has all but dried up as lockdowns across the world have kept people inside.

As a result, oil firms have resorted to renting tankers to store the surplus supply and that has forced the price of US oil into negative territory.

The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the benchmark for US oil, fell as low as minus $37.63 a barrel.

The severe drop on Monday was driven in part by a technicality of the global oil market. Oil is traded on its future price and May futures contracts are due to expire on Tuesday. Traders were keen to offload those holdings to avoid having to take delivery of the oil and incur storage costs.

June prices for WTI were also down, but trading at above $20 per barrel. Meanwhile, Brent Crude - the benchmark used by Europe and the rest of the world - was also weaker, down 8.9% at less than $26 a barrel.

The oil industry has been struggling with both tumbling demand and in-fighting among producers about reducing output.

Earlier this month, Opec members and its allies finally agreed a record deal to slash global output by about 10%. The deal was the largest cut in oil production ever to have been agreed.

But some analysts said the cuts were not big enough to make a difference.

"It hasn't taken long for the market to recognise that the Opec+ deal will not, in its present form, be enough to balance oil markets," said Stephen Innes, chief global market strategist at Axicorp.

The leading exporters - Opec and allies such as Russia - have already agreed to cut production by a record amount.

In the United States and elsewhere, oil-producing businesses have made commercial decisions to cut output. But still the world has more crude oil than it can use.

And it's not just about whether we can use it. It's also about whether we can store it until the lockdowns are eased enough to generate some additional demand for oil products.

Capacity is filling fast on land and at sea. As that process continues it's likely to bear down further on prices.

It will take a recovery in demand to really turn the market round and that will depend on how the health crisis unfolds.

There will be further supply cuts as private sector producers respond to the low prices, but it's hard to see that being on a sufficient scale to have a fundamental impact on the market.

Meanwhile, concern continues to mount that storage facilities in the US will run out of capacity, with stockpiles at Cushing, the main delivery point in the US for oil, rising almost 50% since the start of March, according to ANZ Bank. "We hold some hope for a recovery later this year," the bank said in its research note.

Mr Innes said: "It's a dump at all cost as no one, and I mean no one, wants delivery of oil with Cushing storage facilities filling by the minute."

I have been saying it and keep on saying it, the government needs to build modern maximum prisons it’s important and necessary in any society just the way you invest in roads and hospitals.

Modern prisons needs to be built to accommodate the criminals in our society. People must know there must be a repercussions for every criminal actions.

Most of these criminals will soon be released because of congestion, we cannot as a nation be using prison built since the colonial era that are full to capacity.
