Most Nigerian Parents will complain of 100k in a year school fees, but when it's time for their children to get married, they will spend 2m on a one day wedding.


Most Nigerian students will enjoy cheap education, when they finally graduate and get a job outside Nigeria with the certificate, they will curse Nigeria on social media for contributing nothing to their development. God bless you


EVERYONE SHOULD PAY FOR THE REAL COST OF THEIR TERTIARY EDUCATION, ONLY BASIC EDUCATION SHOULD BE FREE

Because he says the truth ?
Go and verify his claims if he wasn't right.

You are so naive .
"what has the govt done with the 10%" - did you pay ? 99% of Nigerians not on PAYE tax will never pay.
"over there healthcare is free" - In which country specifically. It is all paid from your tax in UK. In US I paid 40% tax and must still pay separately for my health insurance.
"their security is intact." - true, but it never stops hundreds of people from being shot every day.
.infact their govt will pay you salary if you're unemployed - there is nothing automatic about this. It is all conditional.

The argument here is that Nigerians no more know the purpose and value of education because it is cheap. In the US it is common to find students working part time to be able to be able to pay for their university education. Nigerians want it all easy on a platter of gold. That is why most Nigerian companies will rather hire a student who studied abroad than the best of those that studied in Nigeria. Because the other knows how to work to achieve a desired purpose...at any cost.

since when did tax become optional...

SuperOnyi:





How many Nigerians can afford 50k or have such amount in their bank account? People like Mr Reno don't even bother to come down to the ghetto and see what's going on here.

$65 or 50k is a lot of money to an average Nigerian like me, as far back as 2018, despite being an intelligent kid I had no choice but to give up my dream of going to college.

Look, the only reason I'm commenting is to tell the world that amount is a lot to an average Nigerian and we'd have to work our as$ out to make that amount.

headboyprince:
youre the naive one here..since when did tax become optional...
We pay taxes in Nigeria indirectly.. We pay on imported goods, property tax, vat..the govt generated a whopping 40 billion from tax in 2021 alone

What has the govt done with all the tax money

Because the citizens provide everything for themselves water, light, security, health care, even roads...

Yet they keep suffocating us with more bills..if I want to pay more ill enroll in private school..

And don't even try to compare security or health care in us to Nigeria

The gap is as wide as from here to the sky...Nigeria is almost the most terrorised country on earth...

This is a country where even the IG of police can be kidnapped in broad day light ...some villages have been deserted due to terrorism..

Since you so much love Nigeria be serious and dash me your visa. And come back to the suffering. No no no nosense..

nairalanda1:




How can we enjoy anything when our tax to gdp is low, and 70% of the population does not pay tax?

You want us to spend imaginary money, old man?

Ihenzy:

They pay 42% tax. Do you pay 42% tax?

Cromagnon:
how much do they post as tax

tolue42:


Tax in Germany is 40-45% of your salary, will you allow Nigeria government to take away 45% of your salary per month so you can have cheap education?

nairalanda1:


Germans also pay a tax rate of 45-50% of income for the right to have free education.If we implemented that in Nigeria, you will be upset.

And living expenses like rent come from pocket....

emonkey:



Because the [b]citizens provide everything for themselves water, light, security, health care, even roads...[/b] - LOL . Who told you it is government that is providing those things. I dare you not to pay your regular bills for these things and you will smell pepper - legally and by disconnection.
And [b]don't even try to compare security or health care in us to Nigeria[/b] - LOL when you have to buy ordinary pack of Paracetamol from pharmacy for equivalent of N5,000 , and your health insurance provider bills you equivalent of N200k for a 15 minutes video chat with a doctor, your brain will begin to complain and tell you falling ill in US is a terrifying thing.

Anyway, have a nice week.

Following the recent rise in cost of Tuition fees of Nigerian public universities, former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has compared Nigerian universities' cost of tuition with cost of tuition of other countries' universities, IGBERETV reports.

Taking to his Twitter page, Reno wrote; How many of these countries still use "I pass my neighbors generator"?

And Ghana pays 25 times more than Nigeria in fees.

headboyprince:
------- what sort of bullshit are you even saying...are you really serious right now

in the U.S tap water is free, Health care is free (even without medical insurance), security 911 is totally free...

as for electricity, ithe average household pays $122 for 24 hours light which is just 10% of minimum wage in the US

but in nigeria you pay around N15k per month for average of 15 hours light...
then you need to buy generator fuel it at around N150k per month for average of 8 hours per day

thats N165k ($205), or around 500% of minimum wage for 24 hours light...


mind you i havent even add the cost of generator and repairs and maintenance


an average biz that requires 24 hours in Nigeria is bleeped..




and what the hell are you saying in the last paragraph... you're comparing price of paracetamol in the U.S to Nigeria in naira ... since when did you started using naira in the U.S...

mimium wage in the U.S is around 1.2k usd that is around 30x what nigerians earn as mimum wage and you will be still owed salaries for month..

you sound dull to me, even a child wont talk the way you're talking.. i hate dull people, so get out..

like i said if you're tired of teh U.S come back to Nigeria...senseless human being..

marenkurz:
If you're low income earners, you pay less tax and get social welfare. Even if you're not working for some reasons, you still get welfare. It is just crazy to compare these things. It's madness
