The end goal of what you highlighted is to increase/improve disposable income.
I think this government has done somethings to improve disposable income too.
Beyond improving revenue, the National tax act was passed to improve disposable income.
Company income tax was reduced from 30% to 25%.
Small companies (typically those with annual turnover up to ₦50–100 million and fixed assets not exceeding ₦250 million, depending on precise thresholds in analyses) are exempt from CIT(0% CIT). Many are also exempt from capital gains tax and the development levy.
Personal Income Tax (PIT).
Low-income earners are largely exempted from PIT(those earning national minimum wage or less, or up to ₦800,000–₦1.2 million annually), with rent relief of up to 20% of annual rent, often capped around ₦500,000, which can bring taxable income to zero for many.
Additional deductions/reliefs cover items like pension contributions, insurance, and housing fund payments.
80 % of workers will pay no PAYE or lower taxes.
For Value Added Tax (VAT), while the rate is retained at 7.5%, there is Zero-rating (or exemption) on essentials such as food, healthcare, education and power.
There is also broader ability for businesses to claim input VAT credits on expenses, services, and assets (previously more restricted), which is expected to provide substantial relief.
Federal Government has also removed or waived key taxes primarily import duty and VAT on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (cooking gas), and related items/equipment to support cleaner energy adoption, lower transport/energy costs, and reduce household expenses.
Indirectly, the government has also improved disposable income by improving the adoption of health insurance across the country ( we recently crossed 20 million insured Nigerians), while NELFUND has also provided huge relief to parents and students. The government is also improving credit availability and adoption through CREDICORP and National Credit Guarantee Company Limited (NCGC).
This list is by no means exhaustive.
The government clearly needs to do more. I believe transportation, food and housing cost needs to be tackled aggressively but this doesn’t mean the government hasn’t done anything
If you went to a higher institution, we all did "borrowed"/ elective courses from other disciplines.
Please share your science transcripts as someone from the Arts.
I'll do you one better. Let's use our lives to test it.
I apply for law next year, you apply for biochemistry.
@black_Nsukkaboy@PrimeTimestky@_sonofthesoil@UnkleAyo As a science student, a graduate of Elect/Elect Eng. After 5 years of graduating from school, I enrolled in school to study Criminology and Security studies, I graduated with 2U. I dare you as an art student to go and do same in Elect/Elect.
@iamebukadavid I don't think anyone should be desperate for ordination though. But in the case that truly she has been a victim of wickedness, she could have write and send her ordeal directly to Baba. Also the best way to win against wickedness is going on your kneels. My opinion though.
Abiola did this Muslim-Muslim ticket and won.
Tinubu did it and won, in this modern and very divisive time.
You know why? There will be significant number of Christians who will vote the ticket.
And do you know why no one is attempting a Christian-Christian ticket? Because it's apparent that there will be few Muslims who will vote the ticket.
May God help you see that you're not doing anyone but yourself and your brethren.
Who is even bringing Sharia law to you? If not for pure ignorance, do non-Muslims practice Sharia? Who will force a belief you do not want down your throat?
Let me make this loud and clear today. In any Sharia system, Islamic personal and religious law does not apply to non-Muslims.
You are absolutely allowed to be judged by your own religious laws in your personal affairs, marriages, and community disputes. Nobody is forcing our religion on you. There is no compulsion in Islam.
Then you said: parents should take their children out of Madrasah.
I ask you: Take them to where? To become the Arugba of the dirty water in Osun? Or to be bathed with goat blood like they did to Wasilat in Oloolu’s compound? Let us know what we are doing o.
Are you saying we should go back to worshipping a deity that requires you to kill a human as sacrifice? We should go back to forcing Schnapps off the throat of our mothers all in the name of traditional sacrifice?
You must be joking. I am happy you have no knowledge to fight us. You can only shout and abuse. We have outgrown that. Cry more. Cowards 😅
Christian-Christian ticket can never win a presidential election in Nigeria simply because 80% of Muslims won't vote for it but M-M ticket won states like Rivers, Benue, Akwa Ibom, Ekiti, Ondo, etc because unlike Muslims who don't joke with religion and leadership roles,
"If not because of Muslim/Muslim ticket, the Christian in Nigeria will think the are more than us.
This is why we must make sure the Muslim/Muslim ticket continue to succeeded so that our dominance will remained sustained"
Hmmmm

You just know he's jobless. Get him a job at Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil, KPMG, Seplat Energy, or Schlumberger. Send him on one or two foreign trips for assignments or training, and watch this foolishness end.
You are not preaching any gospel; you are constituting a nuisance. Have you ever wondered if non-Christians are there? Don't you think you might be inconveniencing them?
We really need to ban these types of activities. Religion and its practices should be a matter of personal choice. Evangelism should have gone past this stage. You can share flyers, use social media, or any other means that doesn't disturb public peace.
I don't understand why people will leave their houses in search of their daily bread, and you start disturbing them in public transport, marketplaces, parks, etc. Imagine if a traditional worshipper or a Muslim did the same thing.
To make it even worse, this preaching usually ends one way: soliciting for tithes, seeds, and offerings. You're in business, so why wouldn't you preach the gospel until your last breath? 😂
