Mrfeel:
There are some Yoruba familys with both christians and Muslims, like tinubu he is a Muslim his wife is a Christian, how will shari'a law settle disputes in such families?
If you read well, sharia adjudication only comes into play when all parties involved submit themselves to it.

Reject it. A job that doesn't pay much and leaves no time to do other meaningful things isn't a job.

While rejecting it, state the minimum amount you can accept the offer for and give reasons.
If you reject it with good reasons, they might add at least N30k more.

Politics / Re: Hardship: FG Announces Move To Tax More Nigerians by PassingShot(m): 7:50am On Sep 26, 2024
nairalanda1:
cheesy

(I know people will call agbado, but here goes).

Here are the cold fact behind the decision to tax more Nigerians...note the headline...more NIgerians

1. Tax revenues amount for 20% of government revenue, the rest is from oil. While this is better than say 1996, when it was 96% of revenue comming from oil, it is still too low.

2. Oil revenues are very low for a nation our size. We produce as much as Libya does, yet LIbya, even in the midst of war, can afford goodies because they are 9 million, while we are 200-250 million, if not more

What we are doing is like a man with an income of 500000 naira and 15 children trying to do the same thing as a man with the same income but just 2 children. Na debt go catch you in minutes.

3. As at 2019, government was getting tax from about 30% of the taxable population. 70% of the population does not pay taxes to the state and federal government at all. Also, if your income is below a certain threshold, you are exempt from taxes

4. Tax to gdp ratio is 10%. That is low for a nation our size. Add the fact that gdp is even very very low.

5. We need oil price to be above 130 per barrel before we can earn enough money for a balanced budget. Or to be fair, at least around 100 dollars per barrel. Since 2014, April, oil has been below 100 dollars per barrel, except for a brief period in 2021-22. Thus we no longer earn enough from oil, nor have we ever, except for the 1973-82, and 2008-14, earned enough from oil.
.
6. Our economy is so poorly diversified (and APC is to blame here), that we no longer earn the money we used to earn from agric and mining...plus it is going to take us years to get back to where we were before, and we ar eup against countries like the US, Brazil and Indonesia whose agric relies on large scale modern farming, which is why they can export tonnes of food.

Even thailand, we cannot compete with them re rice production, because we don't have the climate for it.

7. We over import, and lose a lot of forex, nuff said.

8. We also have a hefty debt. Debt eats 68% of our revenue, and as at May 2023, it was over 90%...that is why TInubu went mad and said subsidy is gone, because we were in deep soup then. Even then, he has brought subsidy back, so that debt service may even grow.

9. Most states in NIgeria have poor tax to gdp ratio....as low as 2% . As a result, all of them rely on Abuja allocations for survival. Only a few states can survive on their IGR, and even then, the IGR Is still smaller than it should be.

10. IMF, won't give us any loans, and yes, we are going to rely on IMF Loans for the foreseaable future....until we end up reforming our tax system, and collecting more tax. That is what Sri Lanka and Pakistan are going through.


We better wake up people, and our government should stop looting and stealing money too....and make sane economic decisions....but with that taken into account, our tax revenue is scanty, and it needs improving.

Modified

For all those succubi who would gather to mock and call me defender of evil...



BBC 2019 ARTICLE

Also, saying that we don't earn enough revenue in tax is not the same thing as saying that

1. APC should not be held to account...they blddy well should, and yes they are wrong.

2. Tinubu is right to spend money on plane and yacht....he was wrong

3. APC government is corruption free...they are not, and they need to be held to account at all times.

4. APC is wise and running our country well...they are not, and they need to stop keeping our country on oil

You are the only person I have read today with a good grasp of the topic, and of course of the economy.

Your Constitutional right to free speech allows you to speak or say anything you want really without having a policeman break down your door to arrest you just because. Police arrests can only occur according to that stipulated in Section 35(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, Section 38(1) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020 & Section 18(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act. Any arrest made outside of that is illegal or even kidnapping. undecided

2. It is unlawful if proven so in the courts, after which an arrest is then issued, not before. Read through sections 373 - section 381 of your Constitution for details. undecided

I repeat, you are being economical with the truth. I don't have more time to waste on such debate because, the world over, freedom of speech does not grant anyone the liberty to malign or make libelous claims without consequences. The journalists in this case, have you or anyone presented evidence they were simply arrested and kept in detention without any recourse to the court? They may have been initially arrested without a court's permission (which is also allowed the police based on their standard operational mode), but they must have also obtained a court's permission to keep them in detention.

Posting unverifiable propaganda is not a criminal offense even in Nigeria. So, an arrest in such cases is actually illegal according to
Section 32(2) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020
Section 8(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015
↪and Section 35(1) of the Nigerian Constitution. undecided

Also, if you condone the illegal arrest of people you like to hate, know that you or members of your family are likely to be caught in the same net as these men next. Hope you would sing the praises of your tormenters even then. undecided
You are being economical with the truth.

How can anyone claim that it is lawful to just post anything as a fact even if it is a lie or propaganda, without such having any legal consequence?

This is the difference between the World's Moral Army, the apple of GOD'S eyes , ISRAEL and those who claim to human lovers but indeed and act they have no value for Lives.

ISRAEL will take the pains to Clear out the patience in that hospital before it strikes if at all it has to Strike.

ISRAEL would bring its own Medical team to help in evacuation before it strike.

ISRAEL would feed and take care of those kids.

Yet a Satanic world and people run their mouth against the Moral Army of the World, and become blind, deaf and dumb evil is done because they support it.

Where are the Eyes on Rafah people? Have your Eyes gone blind?
Where are the Humanitarian lovers lives?

I’m waiting to hear from the UN security council or the UN human rights council.

Where are the Lovers of humanity?

I am waiting for the march in the streets of London, South Africa , Paris or Madrid.

Nobody really cares about the Lives being Lost!

When it comes to ISRAEL, the Moral army of the world, Everyone becomes a Humanitarian expert. Even killers, Terrorists and their Sympathizer become lovers of human.

Who you are identifying and standing with is far more important than who the mob is standing for!

The Uniting Force of all the Noise Makers is the Satanic Planted Hate of GOD and CHOSEN Nation , ISRAEL.

Can there be a worse human being than you?

Why should the attached below items be costing N500 in some Southern region areas.

Before talking about herdsmen activities in the north, are the Southern people so that lazy to produce their own foods?

And before talking about the increase in fuel price, what % of increase in fuel price compared to the ridiculous % increase in prices of foods items we don't import?

It pains me to say this, but the fact is that BAT has not lived up to expectations. And he doesn't have much time left to turn things around.

Politics / Buhari Foresaw What Would Happen To The Naira And The Economy If He Devalued by PassingShot(m): 12:48pm On Jan 30, 2024
A lot of Nigerians still believe that Buhari failed woefully while a few of us think differently.

Here is a portion of an interview where the former president refused to bow to IMF in their call for him to devalue the local currency alluding t what could be the consequences of such action. Despite all the challenges his government faced, he managed to leave the naira at around N600 to a dollar in May 2023.

Fast forward to seven months after his exit, our currency has plummeted against the dollar to around N1450 on the back of devaluation, recording new low on daily basis. As a result, inflation, insecurity and other vices are on the increase to the extent that no one can predict how the current vicious cycle would end.

Surely, the man Buhari is too patriotic for Nigerians. We most times do not know our true friends.

Jogs1900:

I think what the CBN governor wants to achieve here is to reduce their overhead cost.For instance, all banks are headquartered in Lagos and Lagos is where almost 70% of banking activities in the country take place. Now look at it, because of proper supervision, cbn staff will come to Lagos to supervise these banks and collect out of station allowances and hotel accommodation running into millions of naira. At times, they will be in Lagos for 2 to 3 months. I see this as a waste. When they go back to Abuja, the money they collect is at times 4 of their monthly salary.
And you think this move guarantees such wastage would cease?

I don't see any genuine justification for the relocation.
