Occasionally, a compulsive gambler can have near misses (what we call the Cut-1 syndrome), observed to further increase their desire to bet. See, in this article the thrill of near-misses as a symptom of compulsive gambling.
Have a good read. https://t.co/8wMmSQAF47

I am so glad that our Father in heav’n
Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see:
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me;
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.
Though I forget Him and wander away,
Still He doth love me whenever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.
Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be:
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
President Tinubu nominates Oyedele as minister of state for finance
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated Mr Taiwo Oyedele as the minister of state for finance, replacing Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite.
Uzoka-Anite will now move to the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, as the Minister of State, her third portfolio in the administration.
President Tinubu has today conveyed the nomination of Oyedele to the Senate for confirmation in a letter to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

He attended Yaba College of Technology, where he obtained a Higher National Diploma (HND) in accountancy and finance. He attended Oxford Brookes University and earned a BSc in applied accounting.

@Youthinprocess@OloruntoGabrel@CurtisAbbi@Mario9jaa Therefore, disobey the law and the nation’s apex court until the “electoral reforms” are done? Or are you deflecting from the issue being discussed?
If I could choose when/whether to obey the law or not, I’d never stop for a red light.
Been there. Done that.

Dear @DonAzag
I have previously acknowledged your efforts to educate the public on tax reform. However, some of your contents, including this video, contain technical inaccuracies misleading your audience.
This is precisely why we invited some content creators to a training session on the tax reforms to enhance their understanding for better context and informed public engagement. You declined the invitation and instead made spurious allegations about the intent of the initiative. For the record, no participant was paid or asked to promote the tax laws. Hundreds of creators attended, including many with larger followings.
Tax policy cannot be responsibly analysed through surface-level research or intuition. Unfortunately, your video reflects a mixup of key concepts, leading to incorrect conclusions. Below are some concepts used in your analysis where you need better understanding:
1. Household income and individual income are not the same. You referenced my comment on household income but went ahead to do your entire analysis based on individual income.
2. You assert that poverty must be determined based on the international poverty threshold of USD 3 per day and then you applied it incorrectly. First, the threshold was USD 2.15 per day until June 2025 same month the tax bills were signed into law. Second, you applied market exchange rate instead of purchasing power parity. If you wish to understand the Nigeria context, you may find the Nigeria Living Standards Survey by the NBS in collaboration with the World Bank useful.
3. Taxable income is not the same as gross income. Treating ₦800,000 taxable income as gross income is incorrect and materially alters your analysis.
4. The law expressly exempts the national minimum wage from personal income tax. Insisting that people who earn the national minimum wage will be taxed is incorrect.
Proper understanding is important for constructive public debate. If you're concerned about the tax burden on low-income earners and small businesses, it would be helpful if you also inform your followers the taxes these people currently pay and whether the new tax law is better or not. You may get the clicks and views by presenting incomplete or incorrect information fueling unnecessary discontent but ultimately you are harming the very audience you seek to inform.
Disagreement about public policy is healthy, but it must be grounded in knowledge, not sentiments. Present your opinion if you have a different perspective, rather than asserting that others are wrong or dishonest.
You can do well while also doing good.

As a business leader, I welcome the signing of the tax reform bills into law by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
The new Tax Reform Laws are a bold, necessary step toward a more transparent, efficient, and investment-friendly economy.
These reforms will reduce complexity, promote fairness, and restore confidence in how revenues are collected and used. It’s not just about paying taxes. It’s about building a system where taxes and other public resources fund infrastructure, unlock productivity, and fuel inclusive growth.
This is how we build a stronger private sector and a more prosperous Nigeria. Kudos to everyone who contributed to this landmark achievement for Nigeria. 🇳🇬
I am inspired to invest more, and many other investors share the same sentiment.
God bless Nigeria!
