chidiokay:


You are not immune to the hardship even if Tinubu is paying you 30k monthly to defend nonsense online

try feed your family standard meal this money and see what it cost, try visit your state of origin and see if you 30k salary can fuel your car down to the place

May band A bills happen to and lets see how you chest it rejoicingly and dancing

May you keep enjoying your Band E and generator cost instead or darkness

I am enjoying the band A very well, and i hardly operate my generator

chidiokay:



Now you guyz are begining to sound like a broken record, lets even judge the reform you make so much noise about

Tinubu himself promised Nigerians 10% gdp growth rate every year but what do we have

This year, the World Bank expects growth of 3.7 per cent, in what would be Nigeria’s best performance since 2014 save for a post-Covid rebound

Acoording to Nbs the gdp growth rate in tinubu 1st year was 3.6% followed by 3% in 2024 .. when somebody promises 10% benchmark and gives a 3.7% is that a

scoring 3 over 10 back2 back is that not gallant F9 or advice to withdraw

We are not stupid to expect a reform driven by taxation to turn the economy around cos No nation tax itself to prosperity

10% growth rate is a target that many variables may make possible or impossible.

Its not an exam that has a fail or mark.
There is still time to creep up the growth rate as the reforms take root and medium to long term investment starts yielding

And i can tell you for free that getting 10% growth rate for 2023 and 2024, as good and desirable as it is, will not make any major material difference in your life
If 10% growth had been recorded in those years, you will still be here complaining

Lanruze:
The biggest problem of the PBAT led istration is propaganda, over-hype and falsehood peddling.

I was in Nigeria on the day of inauguration and have been in Nigeria for the last 24 months of PBAT istration.

What I can say is that nothing has changed positively. Nothing !

Only on the pages of Newspapers that we see the change, Let's be real !

This hypocrisy is so glaring and irritates to the high heavens. Why ?

I bought a Toyota Camry 2010 model ( Spider) in 2020 at N3m, now it cost over N11m is that change.

A two bedroom Apartment in Ikeja sold at N81m four years ago now sells for N210m is that change ?

The is an infiltration of publicists, propagandist and PR merchants selling hope and no tangible result especially in the last 24 months in Nigeria.

If you are a smart and upwardly mobile Nigerian between 21-40 years , please take your relocation plans very serious and save a generational embarrassment for yourself.

That category used Camry you bought could have been sold at N1,500 in 1980's , yet with the exchange rate fixed arbitrarily over 40 years, it has crept to 3m, after incurring huge debts with nothing to show , you still advocate we continue the failed policy?

stonemasonn:
Bring the price of Petrol down to 500 naira and see inflation drop

Nobody will bring down the price of fuel by fiat anymore in Nigeria, only market forces can do that

If oil prices crash to $40/barrel, petrol prices might fall lower than 500, and thats the way it can happen

Lionessza6:


You people can be really funny with your reports

1. Nigeria is a big oil producer , South Africa isn't.
2. South Africa and Morroco are the most industrialized nations in Africa with very little oil,so it isn't suprising for them to be massive importers of what they don't have.....the suprising and embarrassing nation on that list was always Nigeria.
3. It is a good thing though that you're finally doing something about that

The report is about the importation of refined fuels, not crude oil imports

Hope you know the difference

fashionnisir:



we cant be talking about increase in Vat tax without considering unemployment rate in the conutry, the mass will bear the cost burden .
Employment of workable and willing labour forces is also key.

What are the VATable products and services that an unemployed person must purchase as a basic necessity fo survival

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Agbadorians will tell you Obasanjo is an Igbo man from Anambra. They so much hate to hear the truth

IPOBs too want to be president of the zoo

the zoo must be very sweet

mikeapollo:

Even the rehabilitation and current production at the PH refinery was largely due to Buhari's effort in awarding the contract which was almost complete before the clueless and incompetent Tinubu gate-crashed into Aso Rock .
Yet some people on TV, radio etc would want to credit Tinubu who did nothing!

Are you so much concerned with who gets credit than the impact of the economic growth we get and impact on the stock market?

shox:
This lawmaker na werey

No dignity.
Well, na Yoruba man . What do you expect. Cowardice runs in their blood .
Prostration that don’t solve Nigerians problems


God. In my next life. If you make me a Nigerian. I will kill myself as soon as I regain consciousness and you will make me again. Na u go tired

why not do it now now?

Streamz:


Chaiiiiii if not for the Leaches, South-south for be Dubai.

Dubai - UAE exports over $330bn every year an they are just 9m people in their country

South-south at 35m, hoping to be like Dubai with $40bn exports, will still be shocked at their poverty
Now imagine 220m Nigerians thinking hey should be Duabi ontop $40bn oil export plus $5bn non-oil exports, raging poverty is the result.

Until our exports hit $500bn before we should expect any reasonable wealth

surgical:
oga go and and sit down this has nothing to do with government
We're the cocoa, cashew or sesame planted today or by Tinubu or during his regime
Stop claiming credits that's not yours
Propaganda is not as effective like during the early days of lai Muhammed, change strategy

If Trumps policies should lead to increased sales of Boeing jets or wheat, it must because it was Trump building the jets?
or if the economy creates jobs it must be Trump employing the people?

why are you so negative in backwards i your thinking?

lawani:
Non oil Exports being talked about are only a small percentage of forex earners. The main forex earner should be remittances.

Earning through export is a more respectable source than handouts that makes up most remittances from abroad

Tinubuadvocate:
What you supposed worrying about is that so called rich people doesn't pay tax.This little gather by FIRS is coming from poor people we need a breakdown.

VAT comes more fro middle class and rich people
Poor people consume only few vatable products, VAT is not charged on most basic products

bobbiiee:
How does it benefit an average Nigerian? The good news is not in the generation, appropriation, but in the use for common good. The reason most people shy from social responsibility is because our government is largely irresponsible.

85% of this money goes to your State governments, go and ask them how they are using it

Splashme:
Laughable ... I see many ignorant olodos
clapping.

Wait, shebi VAT is a sales tax at 7.5%

With the astronomical increase in inflation, VAT revenues is expected to rise too.

Simple logic!

For example, the VAT paid by a consumer now that one egg sells for #300 will naturally be higher than when it sold for #50
.

VAT is not collected on eggs and other raw food

iwaeda:
And they are still borrowing till thy kingdom come. The surge is due to HIGH COST OF GOODS AND SERVICES. A plate of jollof rice that used to be N500, is now N2500, so 7.5% VAT on N500 is N37.5 and on N2500 is N187.5, so when you rejoice, consider the poverty implications. Iree ooo.

N2500 cant buy you a plate of food in most countries of the world

start learning to solve more problems so you can earn more naira, stop dreaming of going back to 500 plate of food

franchasofficia:
To what gain?

There is nothing to rejoice about here.

It will only benefit the corrupt, criminals ruling Nigeria; they now have more money to steal and loot.


Generating revenue is not the problem of Nigeria, but managing and utilizing the available resources for the common good of Nigerians, which is lacking among Nigerian leaders.


Tax and levies only help countries and societies with responsible and able leaders, not a country like Nigeria led by criminals, rogues, and shameless looters who loot even money meant for old pensioners and even the money meant for the physically challenged

Unable people who don't flinch at evading taxes and breaking laws cant produce able leadership

Nigerians must first decide that ability is the best policy first, before they can produce that type of leadership

Cleanmouth:
Kebbi State will use their share of the VAT to repair Mosques and sponsor hajj

Are you from Kebbi?
Why not face your own state? Kebbi people are not bothered by how your state spends its money

rattlesnake:
puking liars today debt is 700 trillion tomorrow renvenu is 400 trillion...b000dsucking agbado eaters

Why not use your increased allocation gotten from funds freed from subsidy costs to subsidise fuel for your state?

All these tales y moonlight is not necessary, if your state people prefer subsidy, just buy all the fuel needed in your state and sell to filling stations at 150 naira

free2ryhme:


It’s hard to ignore how Trump jumped straight into criticizing the FAA just hours after the crash, especially when the full details were still unclear. Sure, there’s a valid point about reevaluating hires, but jumping to conclusions without the facts only adds to the chaos. Regardless of the politics, all air traffic controllers should be thoroughly checked to ensure the highest standards, especially after something as serious as a plane crash. But maybe next time, let’s wait for all the facts before pointing fingers.

and you missed the racial slur he added to his statement, somehow insinuating whites are smarter and superior to non-whites he is subtly blaming for the crash

OLAADEGBU:


What do you think?

Trump talks first and then think later

USA is in for a long ride including the minorities who helped to elect the adult baby, they better go back to the original countries while he rules

bdon123:

Bt who adjusted d act?was national assembly involved?does d law require national assembly or house of reps to deliberate before final accent of presido?
We will never know....

that because Nigerians are hardly provocative, especially when the amendments were been discussed and ed

we only start reacting when the law takes effect

TheGodmother:
Ok, what about not making him an IG in the first place since he only had 1 year to retirement.

What of those that retired when they turn 60 or when they've served up to 35 years?

Any police that has less than 4 years to retire should not be made an IG.

Q.E.D

If you become president, you can apply that rule

TooMuchStuff:
who da hell is Buhari himself ?

Democracy is freedom to choose whoever

freedom to choose indeed

But you will not let those who chose Emilokan to rest

PressMyButton:


https://punchng.com/amidst-nigeria-niger-face-off-kano-maradi-rail-project-takes-shape-in-jigawa/?amp

Poor reporting by the Punch correspondent.
Why end the name of the original contractor at 'Water engine' as mentioned by the field worker when a simple internet check would have revealed that the company name is MOTA-ENGIL, a Portuguese company

Natbrowny:
A white man was born in Nigeria, would we consider him Nigerian? That's what someone who has Australian Parents but was born in Nigeria posted on Quora.

Hugo Wallace Weaving AO is a British-Australian actor. He was born in Nigeria, do we consider him Nigerian.

Can he hold public office here in Nigeria if he proves that by birth he is Nigerian.

America dey try sef, dey allow immigrants who was born on their land to hold public office. Naija no go gree

Nigerian law and American law are not the same

bjdon:
So na SS and SW dey finance this country!! If only the Yorubas were not so trbalistic, I would advocate a SE SS merger. That would be a very powerful and rich nation.

SE needs SS as cash cow while they will be the new overlords in such a merger

Skooltynz:
Omo lagos dey really help southwest ooo

Take out Lagos, take out Ogun, Osun, Ekiti

Oyo alone is more than twice the VAT of the 5 SE States combined

Mahenson:


Tell me why cars are not allowed to be cleared in other ports outside Apapa?

Why is Calabar,Ibom, Warri and Bayelsa good for only exporting crude oil but not good to recieve cargos?

Una mumu too much.

Go and invest in RORO handling facilities in Onne and order ships to berth there
are you the only Nigerians importing cars

Ebubu6:
I don't understand, have Codeine, Diclofenac and Tramadol been banned from importation ?
Are these drugs not prescribed in Hospitals ?

The fact the importers concealed the drugs should tell you all you need to know

rinzaugustine:
Refineries are working and prices are higher than when it wasn’t working makes common sense to only an Agbado. Those non functional refineries are conduit pipe to continue siphoning dollars from the scarce reserves to import fuel. Bookmark my post price of fuel will never come down but will continue going up because it will continue to be controlled by price of dollars locally . Mark it somewhere . Nigeria have entered a pit toilet of no return under clueless tinubu

You must be living in a cave and not aware government was paying subsidy to keep prices low

My bad, should have known you won't know the meaning of subsidy
