Sacrifice for who?America? Some Nigerian no get sense,We have only one country on earth to sacrifice and that is Nigeria,anyone without this sense is an illigal immigrant in our land parading as a Naijarian.
the question is "where does she recide?" And the answer is "the states". So u dnt expect her to come to do dat in Nigeria. Plus dr r already more dan enuf nurses to do dat in Nigeria.

Now i know you didn't read my post. Pay attention to details.

I read it. Maybe you need to pay attention. You said she would make 400k a year, using that rate @ 40 hrs/a week.

Why you dey fall hand like this. This is obviously not a salaried position. They will probably work on ebola cases a max of 2-4 hrs a day so where on earth did you get the annual salary. It is not a permanent position. Total remuneration may not even exceed 3000 dollars when they are done sef. Do you think ebola is now their full time job? Edit the error you put up there juh.

Thank you.

She is going to pay 40% as Tax (or maybe more depending on the state)

Calm down. Highest federal tax bracket is 39.6% in the U.S and you would have to earn 400k or more. Even if we combine state and federal taxes, she won't pay that much. Maybe 25%. This is not the UK nah.

You need to understand taxes are collected from an estimated annual pay first. so if you make $200 hr your taxes would be at the max first(39%) at every paycheck, then at the end of the year you do the deductions.

You don't pay that much in taxes? In what world do you live in? Different components make up your tax bracket which may end up being a good relief for you but to say you don't pay that much, please tell me what world you live in?

I also mentioned tax refunds. Maybe you can not be so confident about something you don't have intimate knowledge of?

LMFAO and how will Nigeria repay you for your sacrifice? You will just throw away your life for nothing.

Then go back to Ghana where you grand parents come from,true and real Nigerians will always sacrifice for this country,money or no money...ask those that have died fighting to make this country a better place, we don't need strangers pretending to come from here while illigal blood runs deep their vein.

Smh. I understand taxes perfectly. Go back and read.

Sigh.

MissMeiya:

I'm saying exactly what I said. She will not work at that rate for 8 hours every day for 5 days a week.
1. That's absurdly impractical.
2. She still has a regular job to do.
Let me further explain:
When you have a situation where you use a % increase for existing employees as an incentive for a task, it will be for a single day in a week, or an extra hour after work, and not all of them will work at the same time, meaning it will be irregular (every other/every two).
They did not replace her entire salary with a special rate. That would be a raise...

Lmao... Intimate knowledge of? Look child, take a seat. If you understood the subject matter of taxation, then you will understand my statement which is VERY SIMPLE. You alluded that Americans do not pay high taxes because they get refunds and what not; a refund is NOT absolute. Your deductions and credits are simple components meant to bring down the taxable income, NOT the tax bracket .... Geez. I think you should assess your knowledge on the matter.

I think olodo would be a more appropriate title who thinks dying needlessly, and thanklessly, in the name of Nigerian patriotism will accomplish anything.

You shifted the subject. I said I don't pay that much in taxes because I get a fat refund with the right deductions. When did I say anything to you about my tax bracket?

It looks like you want to look like you know something. No one asked you to quote me.

Former Nollywood actress, Regina Askia has joined the fight against Ebola in the United States.

The also former beauty queen who now works as a nurse in the US took to her Facebook page to announce the brave news. According to Regina, her initial job was to find volunteers that will work at the Ebola center. Her male colleagues accepted the offer at $200 - N32,000 per hour. But after none of her female colleagues agreed to join the men, she eventually had to volunteer. The nurses are currently undergoing Ebola trainings.

I guess this is the difference between living within an environment of "acute poverty" (as you can read from the post of most people here) and living in an environment where such amount is not considered "extreme"!

The truth is: As an Ebola Nurse/Volunteer, you are putting your life (and what you stand for in your family on the line) and the American Govt knows this and is READY TO REMUNERATE YOU ADEQUATELY FOR IT. The more the danger involved, the more the pay. That is how it should work!

Contrast that to the Nigerian Govt where Money allocated for Ebola Management is cornered by the Minister to "BUY VEHICLES" like that is the biggest problem we have in an Ebola Epidemic (the "tribal bigots" can hammer me over this since "it is our brother that is involved" grin ),
Even those that showed up to Volunteer at the IDH Yaba where denied registration (as one article l read showed) just so that one "Oga at the Top" can chop the money meant to pay volunteers!


Dont blame her for not coming down here to volunteer, none of you, if you had the option, will pass-over $200/hour to come to volunteer in Nigeria where even money meant to procure Protective Equipment (PPE) is EMBEZZLED by public servants after-all, as our President said: LOOTING IS NOT STEALING! shocked shocked

Go figure!

Yeah the pay is good but it's a lot of risk. There will be very few volunteers if the pay isn't that much.

I cant understand when people don't even know what Effective tax rate and Marginal tax rate are commenting on tax issues.

No big deal , and nothing special is being done here.
