Pls tell the concerned authorities to repair the bridge between Gbongan Divisional Police Station and the Ife-ibadan expressway in Gbongan ,the headquarters of Ayedaade LGA of Osun State. Trailers carrying cement and fuel-laden tankers use the bridge to enter and leave Gbongan daily. Thanks.

POS agents are the banks of bankless towns and local government areas. Many rural traders insist on cash, forcing POS agents to store a lot of cash for salary earners to withdraw. Without this, teachers, doctors, etc would be forced to take a day off every month to collect their salaries directly from banks in bigger towns. The only good way for the to increase the amount of cash in banks is to get them to site more branches in bankless towns and LGAs. Any town big enough to have a police station should have at least one bank's branch (which can be sited close to the police station for extra security).

Our leaders should reduce their foreign trips and attend meetings VIRTUALLY (through Zoom, Google Meet, etc). It will free more funds for battling insecurity, fixing bad roads, paying public hospitals' electricity bills, etc. It will also protect them from accidents and foreign diseases.

Virtual meetings allow people to watch each other's body language. Only s*x requires the physical presence of the participants.

Dear Genuine herdsmen (who are not interested in killing people for the fun of it),

The old grazing routes may have disappeared, but new ones have been opened up: between the lanes of all the dual carriageways across the country. Nobody is allowed to build houses or plant crops there. You can keep your cattle in one place under heavy security and then go out to mow the grass between highway lanes into trailers to take home to your cattle. You can also mow the grass on school fields and govt offices and take it to your cattle. It is not even safe for you to be going into deep forests with hundreds of cattle; it is like carrying millions of naira in cash around in a way that everyone can see. Doesn't each cow sell for at least ₦1m now?

People in advanced countries rear more cattle than we do without clashing with farmers. Cattle kept in ranches gain more flesh than those who walk around every minute while grazing. Nobody will complain if you use sophisticated weapons to secure your ranches against intruders. This inter-Agriculture war between farmers and herdsmen must stop, or we will all starve. Let us show Mr Donald Trump that we are not a sh*t-hole country.

The new PIT (personal income tax) law appears more humane than the old PIT law, at least on the surface.

Under the old law, nobody is exempted from paying tax. The tax rate is 7% for the first ₦300 000, 11% for the next ₦300 000, 15% for the next ₦500 000, 19% for the next ₦500 000, 21%　 for the next ₦1.6 million and 24%　 for above ₦3.2 million.

Under the new PIT law, the tax is 0%　 for the first ₦800 000, 　15%　 for the next ₦2.2 million, 18%　 for the next ₦9 million, 　21%　 for the next ₦13 million, 　23%　 for the next ₦25 million and 　25%　 for above ₦50 million.

EXAMPLE 1 (₦70 000 minimum wage, = ₦840 000 yearly).

Old PIT = (₦300 000 x 7% ) + (₦300 000 X 11%) + (₦240 000 X 15%) = ₦21 000 + ₦33 000 + ₦36 000 = ₦90 000 per year. This translates to ₦7 500 deduction from each month's salary.

New PIT = (₦800 000 X 0%) + (₦40 000 X 15%) = ₦0 + ₦6 000 = ₦6 000 tax per year. This translates to ₦500 deduction from each month's salary.

EXAMPLE 2 (₦150 000 monthly = ₦1.8 million yearly)

Old PIT = ... = ₦266 000 yearly = ₦22, 166.67 from each month's salary.

New PIT = ... = ₦150 000 yearly = ₦12 500 deduction from each month's salary.

AN APPEAL TO THE GOVT TO FIX OUR ROADS.

1. We can create our own jobs (via self-employment), water (via wells and boreholes), power (via generators and solar panels), but not our own roads.

2. Bad roads mess up the best efforts at family planning. They decimate mostly the breadwinners on business trips and leave the surviving adults with more children than they planned for. A person with 3 children who inherits 9 orphans from 3 late siblings will have to drop them at an orphanage (and send the little money he can afford), rather than shorten his own life with stress or turn to crime while trying to satisfy their every need.

3. Even powerful people cannot totally avoid travelling by road (if only for short distances within the same town or between nearby towns) after flying for long distances. They too can fall prey to death on bad roads.

4. Good roads will not totally eliminate accidents (because of some overspeeding drivers) but they will be reduced and not be the government's fault.

5. Construction of good roads will attract more votes than cash transfers, scholarships, recruiting more workers and other goodies which can't go round everybody (and can be easily hijacked by middlemen).

6. Good roads reduce rural-urban migration by enabling residents of small towns to easily access banks, tertiary health facilities, etc in the cities near them. For example, GBONGAN (the headquarters of Ayedaade LGA of Osun State) does not have any bank and has only primary health centres (which cannot handle Caesarean sections, postpartum haemorrhage, etc) . Were the Ife-ibadan expressway in a good state, residents can easily travel 19 km to Ife or 21 km to Ikire (which is less than some intra-city distances) within 30 minutes. As things are, even people without any surgical history develop body pains on the road.

Since state and local government officials have to travel more frequently on roads in their territory than Federal Government officials, they sh

WHEN DID GBONGAN PEOPLE BEGIN SNAKE WORSHIP?

It is a taboo to kill a snake in the Idemili North and South LGAs of Anambra State, Sabongida-Ora in Edo State, some parts of the Republic of Togo, etc.

It seems that Gbongan people have joined the train. A long thin brown snake likes lying down on the roadside leaves between the Gbongan Divisional Police Station and Radeco Guest House. It sometimes coils itself on the leaves and sometimes stretches itself in a straight line. Many passers-by (including police officers) are aware of its existence but they all seem afraid to kill it. Maybe people are waiting for the snake to stray into the tarred road before killing it with a vehicle. The other side of the road (in front of Chief Odekunmi's house) also has overhanging tree branches that snakes can drop down from.

The abandoned vehicles yet to be claimed by their owners from the police must house many more snakes. The plot of land between the police station and the guest house should be cleared to house such vehicles and make the roadside safe for people. People shouldn't have to stray into a vehicle's path to dodge the snake or move too close to the snake to avoid being hit by vehicles.

FREE LEGAL ADVICE

1 . Before you generate a fake credit alert for money you didn't send ( or delete and deny the credit alert for money sent into your account), remember that your printed bank statement of account will testify against you. You CANNOT doctor it. Do not send yourself to jail. Honesty is the best policy.

2. Nobody will get only 2 000 naira after walking round the town to several POS agents (or even travelling out of town) and then spend it all at once to a "bankless" seller. Don't be discouraged by alert controversies. Be honest and ready to defend yourself against dishonest people (with your bank statement, as shown in the first point above). Old people should get their tech-savvy children's bank accounts and involvement, warning them against attempting fraud.

May God save us from difficult government policies.

PROJECTS NEEDING URGENT ATTENTION IN GBONGAN.

1. The link bridge between the Ajegunle section of Olufi market and Madam Wule's house has long broken down and created an impassable gulf between the two places mentioned.

2. The bridge between Gbongan Divisional Police Station and the Ife-ibadan expressway is going, going,... Tankers and trailers pass over it everyday to deliver fuel and cement. Please don't wait for a disaster to happen before taking action.

Relevant authorities should take action. It is the easiest way to get our votes.
