sharrraaap id.iot , no any real muslim ever even called the name "isa" jesus christ without adding (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) we love respect jesus, but the problem with you is your followin him wrongly . Hes not a son of god but a slave and messenger god, jst as other messengers. And whats shocking is the ppl that liked your comment it seèm they all knw nothing.

You are also in the wrong, let people practice their religion the way they seem fit! We Muslims must recognize the true problem in the North is poverty and illiteracy, this is why they interpret many things wrongly! Human life is sacred, it should not be cut short because some fools believe they are fighting for dignity of their religion!

Ignorance, poverty and outright cruelty is prevalent among Northern Muslims. Those responsible should be apprehended and hanged! Now to those who think social media is a tool to spill rubbish, think twice! If you must write defamatory comments make sure you do so anonymously!

Muslims its like terrorism is in thier blood, doctrines and nature, worst has been said of Christians but i haven't seen a group of christians take up arms to terrorize people. every little thing cause sudden homicidal rage the next thing is killing of people like cow and thier Islamic leaders will feign ignorance, like the way those useless Fulani's killed scores of people in agatu benue state and buhari did nothing about it. i went there and i was an eye witness. i just pray one day christians will team up and we will carry guns and terrorize them even if its only for 24hrs

When someone calls you and your generation fantastically corrupt, you get bothered and defensive, you try to explain that while some are corrupt, you are not! What you just wrote above is the same way Cameron generalized all Nigerians.....get sense!!!!

Hypocritical humility at its best! Senator go out and meet the millions of unemployed/underemployed graduates out there, they are humans too and deserve every bit of your kind gestures!

This issue of certificate or qualification should be dead by now, it's nothing but a charade and it won't lead anywhere. Buhari will serve his full term and in 2019 he'll surely have a say in who's to become the next president. Now I could understand if we want to impeach Buhari based on failed economic policies but qualifications? Really? Una no dey tire abi!

This is why those abroad keep viewing Nigerians and Africans in general as myopic and senseless at times! So because the guy is a medical doctor, he's automatically in an elevated status? What if it was an engineer,professor or CEO? Why can't the title just say, Olajumoke receives painting? This over-hyping surely cannot be maintained in the long run!

TolaniLuv:
Wale instead of you to try and get your ass signed up with Roc Nation . You are still bench warming at MMG .. Meek Deh dash you L's anyhow and you are still with MMG

Blasphemy, thou shalt not speak ill of MMG! What ya' know bout Wale? Nigga already got his props and dues in the music industry and he's well known in the game. He's got his last two albums on Billboard #1 and you still comparing him to lame ass Meek? Comparing Roc Nation to MMG when it comes to rap artiste is like comparing onions to tomatoes in 9ja right now, INSANITY! Just watch out for Wale's 5th LP and MMG's Self Made 4 Album to know Roc Nation ain't sh*t to rap artiste,maybe R&B like Rihanna or Willow makes sense but artiste like Big Sean(Rookie) and J.Cole(where ya at since 2014?) are not enough to give the label rap credibility and the days of riding on Jay Z's street cred are over!

Well deserved apology! In 2012 I wrote several comments on here why subsidy should be removed but some Nairalanders only see what they want to see. Now that it's finally removed,maybe we can all start using our brain and stop this over reliance on oil!!!!

If you had to come on Nairaland and ask then you've already lost 50% of the war! Love is a war, it's either you fight or quit. It's also important to know who or what you are fighting for! You 've dated the guy for 5 years so you should know his behaviors and the type of relationship he has with his parents. If he's the type to succumb to everything and does not have a voice of his own then don't expect him to fight for you, it is better you move on! On the other hand, if he's the oldest child and very influential to his family then there's hope. If there's one thing I've learned about African families and their dynamics, it is the fact that money speaks loudly, it has a way of making the unacceptable more acceptable. All in all, you should know your man way more than any of us!!!!

How long will it take before you people start using your brain? It takes about 3 months for tomatoes to grow, it is very easy to plant and doesn't cost much. Maybe when two or three pieces of tomatoes starts selling for 2,000 Naira, maybe then we can all start planting

If something like that had truly happened it would have been all over the news or at least OBJ would have retaliated. This is purely a lie from a man possibly nursing future political ambitions. You people will believe anything OBJ in the early 2000s was more dictatorial than Buhari of 1984 and Buhari of present!

The global economy crashed since 2008 but Nigerians under the disguise of corruption hardly felt the hit as government and political leaders were mortgaging your future and your children's future in order to maintain stability. You bought fuel at 86 Naira per liter instead of 120 or more, the government pays the difference. You refused to diversify from oil,so when oil price crashed, the government started using money meant for infrastructural development to accommodate subsidy and other unnecessary governmental spending but Nigerians don't care, as long as they got fuel at 86 Naira and imported rice and tomatoes at normal price. Nigerians don't want stable electricity, good roads and more jobs, these things don't matter as long as fuel is 86 Naira or below, I can see them now shouting "BRING BACK OUR CORRUPTION'

Funny how people hear one side of a story and automatically become the judge & executioner. Everyone could be wrong, the OP might only be seeing things from her point of view hence the emotional tone in her write-up. Some mother-in-laws can never be satisfied and until we truly hear both sides of the story we would all be guessing. The only advice to give here is for the OP to work harder and get married, if she marries a successful man she wouldn't need to worry about the inheritance and at the same time she would be able to take care of her mom.....case closed!

The problem with this presidency is not action but too much action with little results. The president should focus on 2 or 3 things that would make a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians for years to come and accomplish it. This is the Fashola model that worked so well in Lagos, if the president can do this then he has effectively signed the death of PDP till 2035!

adeniyisamuel59:
Must all PDP members be indicted for corruption? I am beginning to see insincerity and one sidedness in this war against corruption. Where is the like of Amaechi, Tunubu etc.

Look at it this way, if the last administration had done its job and prosecuted the individuals you named above, they wouldn't be roaming free now would they? The fight against corruption must start from somewhere, today it's PDP, tomorrow it might be APC or are you saying the individuals accused so far are not guilty of the crime?

It's a shame this came out of a normal human being, perhaps the OP is not normal? Who knows! Beauty fades regardless of age, if you marry someone because of nice boobs or a six pack then it speaks volume on your own shallowness. Imagine 27 year old guy marrying a 17 year old girl or a 25 year old guy marrying a 15 year old, in a sane society the OP would be labeled as a Pedophile but in Nigeria he's just ignorant!

sonnie10:
You don't get it. It is not about being "smart." It is a provision available to everybody but some are just not aware of it.

Pay attention to you pay stub, there you will find the number used for tax deduction, it could be any number from 1-7 or more. If you claim a higher number, you get more money in your (bi)weekly pay check but less tax return. However, when you claim a lower number, you get less less money on you pay check but at the end of the year, more money as tax return.

The advantage of getting one on tax return is that the money was deducted pre-taxed. So you get it back as tax return they same way it was taken.

One thing you do not know is that you can NEVER get the exact amount taken out of your paycheck back via tax return, there's a limit on what you can get back! Someone making $120k a year will have a total tax liability of over $18k using 0 or 1 personal exemption. Now unless your friend paid more than that in taxes, he's not going to get a dime back. This is why people have deductions and credits such as child tax credit, American opportunity credit, business deductions, medical deductions and so on. My point here is that your friend's W2 played only a little part in what he got back from the IRS when compared to his deductions and credits. You can ask him for confirmation!

seyibal20:
Why don't you cash in on the recent unfortunate hike in dollar exchange rate. I have access to dollar @ between 280 to 300. You can quickly sell off in a day or 2 and have your funds back with profit.

I'm not in Nigeria!

sonnie10:
My friend made $120k and got $8k back. Like I said, it depends on what you claimed on you W2 form.

Your friend is either very lucky and/or very smart! I don't mess with the IRS, they're worse than the FBI and CIA combined

anibest15:
Have you considered running loan facilities at reasonable interest rate for some individuals/institutions?

The risk factor plus inflation makes it very unappealing to me! Unless we are talking about at least a 20% flat yield, I'm not sure it's wise!

sonnie10:
You didn't tell them about money from your yearly tax return. Based on your income and of course what you claimed on your W2 should not be anything less then $7k every year.

Hahahahaha.....Doesn't work that way bro, the more money you make the more tax liability you get! This year I had to pay almost 2k back to the IRS, apparently they tax investment income very high

90% of those statements could be seen from a mile away, it does not take a prophet to know there will be strikes when workers are owed several month's salaries. It does not take a genius to know that the level of corruption under the last administration would lead to astronomical debt and consequences! You don't have to be Einstein to know that once you cut off the funds and the corruption within government and public sector that things would be difficult at inception due to cash shortage and strict policies. It's simple people, you can either suffer now and build a better Nigeria for years to come or continue with the way things were done before and mortgage your children's future!!!!

There are different type of students, some are under 20 and some are over 30, you cannot tell a student in his or her late 20s or early 30s not to engage in a sexual relationship. So you see you cannot generalize! The same philosophy applies to males and females. Males can afford to have many sexual relationships while in school but females must be much more careful due to reputation and unfair stigmatization.

Pidggin:
Okay, good. It is surprising that someone with your level of financial intelligence(as you stated above) will still be searching for more knowledge on investment from this platform. From your post, you should be a consultant or are you trying to mock us? You seem highly financial literate, so why the unnecessary question? You should know what to do with your millions na? Wishing you good luck.

No one is an island! Half of the things I know in life, I learnt from listening to people. The proposals I've received so far are highly educative and I'll be picking two out of those proposals to invest in once I've conducted due diligence!

Pidggin:
How did you make your money, what is the source of your wealth. In 6 years you have grown from poverty to wealth (according to you) why not keep doing what you are doing?

Trust me I'm going to keep on earning, I just like to diversify my investments. How did I change my status? A mixture of blessing, luck and being in the right place at the right time. I make nothing less than $8,000 per month after taxes as an I.T Auditor. I've managed not to get myself in trouble by keeping my expenses manageable and diversifying myself. I own about 4 different investments fetching me between $4000 to $6000 every 12 months, this amount I've been sending to Nigeria and investing in Treasury bills, since 2014. I've kept on reinvesting the profits and the principal. Just last year I received a bonus of $6800 from my job and a bonus of $8200 this year. All sent to Nigeria, chilling in the bank. The lucky thing here is that I did all this before I built a family! Some people work way harder than me and earn way more than me here in the US and cannot save a quarter of what I have, this is why I call it a mixture of blessing, luck and opportunity!

Bitterleafsoup:
only one group of people originate from Lagos so it figures you people are just Akata...You don't know your fathers village I have cousins born and bred in Lagos but they know thw village where it started. Find your roots so you can grab sense.

Ignorant people think they are the wisest so I'm not surprised by your statement, go and learn about the history of the Aworis and then we can talk about my family's history or better yet stick to eating your bitterleaf soup

Bitterleafsoup:
Which state do you live in?
Oh my bad looks like GA USA well my Dear only Anambra and a couple others hold the government accountable.
When will you come and make your Fathers village safe so he can retire in peace?

My father's village is right there in Lagos, BORN & BRED! He's already retired and safe in his mansion, no place like Lagos

mindtricks:
Let FG be careless about losing the oil revenue the same way they are careless about giving the region the fair treatment it deserves. It will make perfect sense.

Go back and read what I wrote, till you and your fellow militants start holding your local leaders accountable, your region will not get better! All the Billions pumped into your local leaders' pockets, tell me did you get a portion? I bet not

mindtricks:
The region that is feeding a directionless country like Nigeria deserves better. FG should wake up and stop taking the oil resources/revenue for granted.

Perhaps you'v been blind for the past 3 to 4 years when your leaders were busy collecting amnesty and other allocations meant for the development of the land, who is going to hold them accountable? The money that was meant for health,education and other amenities was instead digested by the leaders of the movement, yet the uneducated touts are the ones blowing up pipelines, engaging the army and risking their lives.....SHAME!

Am a web developer...

Major challenge we face in Nigeria now is how to receive and send money Abroad at the best rate

You would need to open a Dom account or wait a long queue at Western Union to send out Payment at ridiculous rates.



My proposed solution is 95% risk free:

Nigerians can send Naira value to almost any Country and payment will be delivered according to the recipient's Banking work time. It will be a third party payment system, since you are in the US, this solution works more perfectly.


Billions are transferred daily both inflow and outflow in Nigeria, and now the proposed solution will be as follows:

1) Nigerians can receive payment in USD or NGN
2) Nigerians can transfer payment to anywhere in the world paying Naira (Selected Countries might be chosen)
3) Payment can be done any day even weekends!
4) 100% Web based, convenience and reliability
5) Low fees


I have 100% experience on this proposed business idea, am currently in a closer business type. I have a well structured business plan for this already.

Please let me know if you would be interested.

I'm interested, kindly send me a business plan via info@globalsynctechnology.com

NDA doesn't want any negotiation, all they are saying is that northerners should pull out from their resources they are tired of being hungry while others eat fat from their region.....expect more freedom group to come up. boy's ain't smiling enough is enough

Oh so it's only Northerners that own oil blocks in Nigeria? F*cking bigots!
