The Minister of Defence according to reports earns over N700k, which is more than N7m a year. That's just salary.
The same minister also gets:
- More than N16m as accommodation allowance.
- More than N6m as furniture allowance.
- About N8m for motor vehicle allowance.
- Over N810k for Leave allowance per year.
-Severance Gratuity of over N6m that is paid after completing his tenure which can be any number of year(s).
But Musa the Defense Minister wants the public to celebrate that soldiers who risk their lives on a daily basis and remain underappreciated and probably underequipped, are now being paid just "N100,000" monthly.
Soldiers get N1.2m for working tirelessly, while the Defense Minister who only gives speeches and appears on TV gets more than N7m alone as basic salary. Wonderful country.
“Nigeria’s governors have diminished themselves. They now wait for the President to secure elections and hand them victory, while the President, in turn, waits for the governors to do the same for him.”
— Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso ✌️🤍❤️
Whatever happens in Nigeria, my conscience is clear.
I set myself on fire and nearly lost my life trying to stop this plague from becoming president, and everybody who had the power to help me just stood by and stared.
Now the Israelis are on Arise TV licking their lips.
Well done everyone.
LAWLESS AND SATANIC EXTORTION..PONZY GAMERS
ONYINYE SATAN ...GIFT WITH RIGHT HAND AND STEAL MORE WITH LEFT HAND
They announced reduction of duties on Tokunbo Vehicles to 5% ..and many clapped for them
Oya, see below the breakdown of other hidden levies, taxes and charges they never removed ...Ndi ori ...ndi aka na akpa
..............................
New import regulations for used vehicles in Nigeria:
1. Import duty: 5%
2. National Automotive Council levy: 15%
3. Value-added tax (VAT): 7.5%
4. Port surcharge: 7%
5. FOB valuation charge: 4%
6. ETL tax: 1%
7. CISS fee: 1%
8. 2% green tax applicable to vehicles with engines under 1.5T displacement
9.Other payable costs include customs value assessment adjustment, destination port handling fees of USD 15 per cubic meter, customs clearance agency fees, document fees and various miscellaneous charges.
LET ME ADD UP THIS FEES AND SUMMARISE IT UP PRACTICALLY FOR YOU WITH AN EXAMPLE
For a refigerated truck valued CIF at $40,880.00/N57,518,160.00, below is what these hoodlums will extort from us;
40,880 USD/ × 42.5% + 15 USD per CBM × 68 CBM + 400 USD, plus a 2,000 USD gratuity for the customs clearance agent.
The total estimated expense is roughly 20,794 USD, exclusive of all document fees and other miscellaneous charges.
In short, the port and clearance costs will be no less than over USD21, 000 .00/N29,547,000.00 with paperwork fees charged separately.
HOW CAN ONE BE EXTORTED N29.5MILLION FOR BRINGING IN URGENT AND NEEDED PRODUCTION AIDING MACHINERY PURCHASED AND SHIPPED INTO NIGERIA AT A CIF COST OF N57.5MILLION.
THE UGLY IMPLICATIONS....
In a country, where transport and freight cost is 3 times higher than the African average...
In a country that require average demand of 700,000 Vehicles annually, and with total domestic supply [ PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF ALL VEHICLE ASSEMBLY PLANTS IN NIGERIA] at 14,000 vehicles [ 2%] , its madness to keep extorting from the people with this high levies ...
NIGERIA TODAY NEEDS 25,000 REFIGERATED TRUCKS TO MOVE F0OD COMMODITIES ACROSS THE LAND AND TO HELP US REDUCE SOME OF THE POST HARVEST LOSSES [ CURRENTLY ESTIMATED AT N3.2TRILLION ANNUALLY] , BY FOOD PRODUCERS ....
THIS APC GOVERNMENT IS Deliberately acting like PLAGUES...REAL CANKERWORMS ... ONYINYE MAMIWATER... HOW ON EARTH WILL YOU PLACE HUGE TERRIFS, TAXES AND AL MANNER OF LEVIES ON A KEY FACTOR OF PRODUCTION/ MEANS OF TRANSPORT AND MOVEMENT , THAT YOU CANNOT PRODUCE DOMESTICALLY?
LET THE DATA BOYS COME AND DEFEND AND SPIN THIS ONE ...I AM WAITING
This week, I have observed with deep concern two notable media appearances: one by my brother, Mr. Peter Obi, and the other by the family of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
In his interview with Mr. Chude Jideonwo, Mr. Obi voiced serious worries about his personal safety and the adverse impact his role as an opposition leader has had on his businesses. Even more troubling was the Federal Government’s response, which resorted to personal insults and derogatory language instead of the restraint and maturity expected of a democratic administration.
Let me state clearly: like every Nigerian, our presidential candidate and all of us deserve the full protection of the state, not ridicule for raising legitimate concerns.
Democratic leadership requires fairness, justice, and restraint.
A government entrusted with protecting citizens should not dismiss or mock credible calls for help from any individual, including Mr. Peter Obi.
On the other hand, it was distressing to watch the wives of Malam Nasir El-Rufai publicly express the family’s anguish over his prolonged detention.
Regardless of political affiliation, Malam El-Rufai, like every Nigerian, is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a competent court. The continued delay in granting him bail through what many perceive as stringent and unreasonable conditions is deeply concerning. As an unconvicted citizen, he deserves a fair and expeditious trial, while his health and that of his family are adequately safeguarded.
I therefore join well-meaning Nigerians in urging the Federal Government to handle these matters with transparency, accountability, and justice. These issues must not be weaponised to settle political scores.
For our democracy to truly thrive, every citizen; young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political persuasion must receive equal and equitable treatment under the law from the government that exists to protect us all. - RMK
