And who told you everyone isn't paying tax.

Check your invoices and bank statements

did i say everyone..... ? Please read.

Charleys:
Who tax help?

It helped developed and developing nations........

Light1259:
They will still loot the money.

You don't know these politicians,
they don't care they only care about themselves.

They wont... they will be scared of Nigerians....... People would have protest of high cost of maintaining the National Assembly.... if it was their little money they use in paying just one Senator a big salary.... No body will take it.... things will change.

I will try and make this very short..... This is an open discussion though.

The reason Nigerians are complacent about the situation of Nigeria is because 60-70% of Nigerians dont pay tax. Why ? Most Nigerians are business people, the higher percentage are the small scale businesses...... How many of them pay tax.... NONE......

If you pay tax and you know that it is your money (tax) a person is embezzling without regards, no body will tell you to protest and revolt. They wont even try it.

That is one thing the developed nation did that we failed to do. We failed to create a system where by everybody contribute to the growth of the country. By so doing you will naturally hold any leader responsible.... You know how hard you work for your money then the government takes some percentage as tax on automatically and then one person embezzles it........ No body will tell you to stand for your right and no leader will try it.

Nigerian just keep shouting OUR MONEY ( What they mean is Oil Money or Money coming from Natural Resources) not money coming from your pocket........ If it is coming from pocket (Income) then the way Nigerian leaders siphon money wont happen like that. They will be scared to do that because they know people will hold them accountable for it.

Most Nigerians are in one social club or the other were we pay monthly dues..... during the end of the year party, the leader should come out and say they bought a crate of soft drink for N10,000 ...... Can they say that ? No..... they know people will revolt and it will cause problem...... Why ? because everybody has a stake in the club's money (it is our money) so naturally corruption will reduce .....

Secondly, people will naturally want to know how the money is spent and make sure it make sense or else the leader of the social club have some explaining to do........

Corruption cannot be eradicated but it can be reduced..

That is why corruption in Developed Nations is not as it is in Africa. Remember there is corruption everywhere but not as bad as Africa or Nigeria

In Nigeria a Leader came out and said her ministry feed children who are out of school with hundreds of million - How ?
In Lagos a Leader said a corona virus patient care cost is 1 Million per day and so on...

No wonder a British Prime Minister once said Nigeria is Stupendiously corrupt.......

Golan007:
I concur.

same here... I could not watch the video till the end.... its child abuse...

Favour2323:
Nairalanders, I'm about to do something my conscience doesn't agree with but it feels like the right decision to make. I have a boyfriend. We've been dating for the past 6 months. I love him. We were good friends before we started dating. I'm someone who doesn't trust easily and I like to assess a guy for a while before dating him. I assessed his intentions and I realised he didn't just want to have sex with me and leave. He loved me just as I loved him.

Three months ago I met this guy. At first I just saw him as a friend, but as I got to know him I started noticing the good qualities he possessed. He's very attractive, very intelligent and wellspoken. My conversations with him were so immersive. The little time I spent with him always left a profound impression on me. Soon I noticed I had started developing feelings for him. I was still in love with my boyfriend nevertheless.

One day the new guy asked me if I had a boyfriend. I told him I did. The next day he called me and said that he didn't want to interfere with my relationship. He said he had feelings for me and he couldn't remain friends with me when he knows I have a boyfriend. I told him that I had feelings for him as well and that we could still remain friends but he refused and suggested that we stopped talking. He hasn't called or texted me since that day.

This situation has left me in an emotional turmoil. This new guy represents everything I want in a guy and as much as I don't want to admit it, he possesses better qualities than my boyfriend. I can't imagine a life where I can't talk to him anymore. I really like him. His decision has left me in a dicey position. It's unfair to leave my boyfriend who has always been nice to me for someone else, but the new guy doesn't want to have anything to do with me again as long as I'm in a relationship.

Please I need advice. I don't want to make the wrong decision.

This is deep...
First and foremost - You stated your current boyfriend does not just want to have sex with you he truly loves for real and like you said you love him too...
Relationships is not about love alone or feelings , there is something they call commitment and self discipline.
You will always meet someone better than your boyfriend, more handsome, more richer and so on... Even if you are married you will always meet someone better than your husband. But commitment and self discipline will keep you in it.

First question I want to ask you do you know what you want in man ? Do you ? If you know, then that's good. So who got more points ? Your boyfriend or the new guy ? That is a question for you to answer personally.

Second question - Do you know the intention of this new guy ? Like you said your boyfriend is not really about having sex with you, he truly loves you.
Intention is key in anything we do... so many wolves in sheep clothing.

Lastly. As a guy , I cant date a girl who told me she has a girlfriend but later told me she has dumped her boyfriend for me.... That's is a Red Flag to me and I wont trust her because she can do that to me too....and I will see her as a loose girl.

Side note - Leaving your boyfriend for a guy who knows you have a boyfriend which you left for him is TOO DESPERATE..... that's another red flag.

paulolee:
so touching knowing that he lost both arms while trying to escape..
dont know why is it that whenever i see this sets of animals, i do think if Charles darwin is right about his evolution dogma in his book "the origin of the species"...
the question i keep asking is that if we truly evolved from apes, then why do humans stopped evolving??
pls nobody should attacke me, am jus thinking as a rationalist..

He is wrong, 100% wrong.... Just because he is Charles Darwin does not mean he has to be correct at all times.

So Abraham evolve from Apes, Moses and the Egyptians were apes, ........ Charles Darwin is drunk......

You caused it, you gave him the green light and all the go ahead.... now he says lets take it to another level , you are now saying NO..... What is your problem ? To me, you are manipulative and cunny.... trying to play an innocent lady..... and that is bad...... This kind of act are what younger girls should who dont know what they want and just want to play..... but there is a age you get as a lady or man you should know what you want instead of stringing people along and then dumping then all if the name of I DONT LOVE,....

For future sake, please change your way.

Hello everyone I decided to share a video that has been a blessing to me.

It's about Sex and Dating. It blessed my life and I know it will bless yours too.

God bless you.

SmartProf:
Weakness is a choice but Ambode's weakness is legendary. Even when this replacement is needed, he couldn't even get nominated to fly the APC flag in a bid to become a senator. Ambode today is a political rag because life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage, and he lacks courage. Weldone Obaseki for having brave balls in dismissing a greedy political godfather.

It is not every fight you fight, sometimes you just need to walk away....... Kudos to Ambode.

chatinent:
Have you ever asked how the world became like this? Are you open-minded for a discourse? Good morning.

Good morning, I actually know how the world became like this. But I want to hear from you and learn more. We learn every day.

chatinent:
Many reasons we should all pray for GOD's kingdom to come. This world don kolo.

The world has always being like that... think about Slavery, World War 1 and 2 , Persian war, israelite in slavery in the bible, the killing Jews in USSR and Germany some of this events took place centuries ago..... we all just need to draw closer to God.

Nigeria is a country i pity for..... A government distributing transistor radio and they are taking pictures with it...

The problem of Nigeria is not Corruption, i think it has alot to do mental inbalance or problem with cognitive thinking.

Why must we wait till people die before honouring them....... to me Mr Sani is high on something

light099:
A wise man once said, "if you want to break conventions or norm, take things to higher grounds, not back to ground zero."

Let's even say you were lucky to finally meet the doppelganger of your crush, that doesn't mean you should be too much in a hurry or impulsive, as not to check if he/she is worthy version or an extremely low-budget version.
Adut Akech no doubt looks like Lupita Nyong, but then, at least we all know Lupita still has this sexy looks and curvy body frame. As for Akech, where is her selling point?
White women have good skin and hair, but not the body. Black women have the good body but may not have the skin and hair. Each race with it's selling points.

Unfortunately, these whites folks envious of the great bodies of black women have been selling their skinny body, blackboard-yansh ideologies under the guise of modelling. In a bid to be a model, you traded away your black endowment, and ended up looking like a transmission pole.

Ghana women don't have the best looks but they have the best bodies, and this selling point is high as fvck, it could make an Indian man sell all his property just for a video session with them on Whatsapp or FB messenger.
But here is Akech, no hair, no skin and then no body.
Personally, I'm not impressed.

Anyways, congrats Runtown, I know you always have this irresistible urge to do unconventional shiits, same way you got a lion cub the other day, but your games are always risky. Let us hope it won't end in tears.

One mans meat is another mans poison. Not everybody is interested in looks.... most people have grown above that.... with your post It seems you are grown and you should know this. Some just need peace of mind. No me person marry Cobhams wey blind. No be person marry Aki ...... some even marry disable... in life we all are looking for different things when you find it hold it tight.... looks fade but morals and attitude never fades away.

shalom4eva:
Around 2012 I got to know nairaland when I was job hunting, little did I know something big awaits me . Fast forward to 2017, I met this pretty damsel (rebirth 4goody, formerly rebirthforgoody).

We became friends and later into a love relationship. To God be the glory, today we are happily married. Thanks to nairaland even though I didn't get any job through this platform,but I gained a lot of experience and a beautiful woman as wife .

Guys please show us some love and wish us well

Brother i wish you well...... 100000%....... from your post i know say you get sense.

proxillin:
You are connected to my thinking. I think I have to be bold and cut it.

Since you already have someone else you are dating now..... no need making your life more complicated .... Let her go...... and lastly she does not seem like a good person. No matter how it end, dont marrry her.

My little piece of advice.

Lordswazz:
...and some women can't handle lopsided privilege. If your wife cheats, you divorce her only; but If you cheat, you lose your house and half your net worth (and maybe custody of your children too). When they learn how lopsided such law is, many either use it to threaten the man every damn time, or they just activate it to be "free". Throw in the "what have you done for me that no man has done for his wife" entitlement mentality, and you have a keg of gunpowder holding a matchbox to emasculate you at any given time.

Yes.... that is why it is good for someone to pray to God for a good life partner, while also doing your part.... DATE before marrying... people are not moved by beauty anymore but by common sense and good morals

planetx:
A Nigerian or African girl already living in the US will do same if not worse. It's all about the individual, people should date for sometime before rushing into marriage. Most of this men were probably hooked up with a wife in Nigeria because they felt they were getting old and need to settle down and married the first girl their aunty or sister recommend for them.

its about the individual you are correct, there are still good Nigerian girls in America....... You are correct, everyone should date before marrying to avoid stories that touch.

It is not a general conclusion, i know Nigerian families who are doing great...... so it has alot to do with the individual..... and lastly some men are problematic by nature, they feel because they brought a girl to America then she should LORD them for the rest her life.

fairfora:
My friend's neighbour in Arlington, TX once narrated a similar story when he visited me in buffalo back in the days. The thing is, not all naija babes turn wolves once they enter US. I know of some girls who relicated to meet their boy friends and they're happily married today. They were dating here in Nigeria before their bfs left. I've also seen many who have married in America and have divorced, some unions didn't even last 4 years after which they split

You are correct not all..... there are some good one who turn to be a blessing.

iyke926:
Guy, its not like those ones are saints but they are less evil and have more values.

Is anybody a saint in this world ? NO...... Brother nah to look for better person join you for this journey of life...... like you said LESSER evil and more value........ I was talking to someone from Africa and the person said why is Nigeria always involve in drug, scam and all sort of evil......... why ? i was dumbfounded..... all the people selling drugs and running prostitution in her country are Nigerians.......... at the end of the day Nigeria has a problem.

womenareapes:
well said! well said.

but NO! their ears has been covered with wax!

Lol

iyke926:
I hate violence and don't support killings.

But let's check it. The law favours women over there, so you don't have to blame those men for wacking their wives.

Imagine spending 25years + to hustle, only for the lady you brought from a shithole country and trained to tell you "Do that again and I will call the cops"..."Do that shit again...you will lose your children & house"

I have disturbed my coz to marry. He refused to marry in the US and I don't blame him after reading a book that opened my eyes.

The women know that the system is rigged to favour them no matter the odds. They can file for a divorce at anytime, tell the court that the husband raped her, etc

I would rather marry an Asian woman than bring a lady from Nigeria.

exactly what I posted. I will rather marry a Kenyan , Ghanian or Mexican to bringing a girl from Nigeria... Our operational mode as Nigerians is full of wickedness....

Sportwin:
When all you worked for is taken from you
After spending all you have training someone

It's easier to say when you don't feel it

it's easier to say exactly...... It is not easy to lose all you worked for to a woman that does not know how you started. It's hard..... I live in America and I understand the feeling of those people. But I dont justify killing someone. Its is NO NO for me.

That's is why it is better to look for a Nigerian girl or an African girl you like in America and just marry. Bringing a girl from naija is not a good thing at all...... I will never advice anyone to do that.

Angelfrost:
Very useless leaders!!! Money that ought to used or invested in building industries, and teaching entrepreneurial skills to young citizens, will be diverted to pay family and friends for doing absolutely nothing!

Exactly... my brother. Useless people.

So you have Executive Assistant, Senior Technical Assistant and Technical Assistant........ Nigeria is a nation that is in retrogession.... but it knoweth it not.

Olamila:
Let me not bore you guys with my relationship history but this girl is my first love, i met her while i was in school 300l. Ever since then i have always been there for her despite even having a low budget as student because I'm not from a wealthy home, even her parents has times10 more than my family. But despite that i try all i could to maintain my role in the relationship because i don't fancy myself asking anything from my girlfriend.

Before anything else i need to tell little about my girlfriend, she is beautiful and nice. Almost every guy wants to woo her and all of that. Aside of that my girlfriend is very stingy to me, she can never allow her anything be in my possession, she doesn't have this idea that we could end up one day though she will always say something close to it only during fun time. But when she is at her leisures she will say how she fancy how husband to be and all of that which i no I'm not the person she could had been referring to. That not even my major issue.

She always been cruel when she asks me for anything and i refuse to give her maybe i don't have or just don't see needs to do so.
I also discovered that most of our fun times comes immediately money enters my hand. Because i remember when i was in school my first 800k i made was finished and squandered with her, i haven't dated anyother or even have another girl since i met her. Because i try to make her feel comfortable because i no how many guys wish her to be with her. So secondly i made another 1m i squandered it with her too. But when this money just finish guyz i always see hell in her. This was the ups an downs i was experiencing till i finished my school with her. It was a shame for me upon the money i made in school i graduated with zero account looking for money for my law school. I wasn't fortunate to get any help so i sat back to Hustle. Then i was begging looking for helper to assist me when i saw one big opportunity that i need to take but it the opportunity required money as my account was bleeding zero. I begged everyone including my girlfriend but she told me she doesn't have even if she happened to get money for me i will pay her interest. This words alone made me cry, did you no instead of helping me out she told me I'm not the only one that needs help she also need to invest on her self which she was right i believe her. She later invested her money in one fraudulent sheme which she lost the money.

FastTrack to what is happening now, i later got help from someone who offered me 50k and my mum 20k making it 70k i picked myself up and started my Hustle again. Within three months i made 800k again. All this times i was giving her update about my business and earnings. Could you imagine she had the gut to ask for money despite her behaviors. Because of my nature i don't believe someone's bad nature should change my own nature so i still sent her some money because i also no she is broke.

Since then i just forgot about what she did and all of those stuffs because my money kept coming and i don't keep grudges i keep taking care of her. Now i had issue with my business i want to fix something up i was also telling her. this girl went ahead to start asking me to send her money. I was really disappointed i protested because i noticed when i have money i become very careless. It seems money covers so many things.
I just need advice because i think it is time to let her go coz with her nature and type of girl it might end in tears for me. All she do is stay on social media, snap and post and look for who will send her money. No skills, i have begged her several times to look for something to be doing she refused and tells me how her dad won't allow her. She doesn't listen to me, always feel like boss when little money enter her hand. Guys i really love her but i think it is time to seek help because i will regret if this continues.

Hmmmmmm..... this matter deep oooo....... Here is my own little advice.
No 1 - That girl is not a good girl, she is just there for the money and going by what you typed it seems you know as well but you just want to be sure. She has failed times without number to be there for you when you need her the most so it is very obvious

2. Any girl that does not see a future with you is just using you to pass time, when she see someone better and richer brother she go leave you oooo.... A girl that loves you truly will always fix you in her future on AUTO not only during fun time...... but ALWAYS........... (Even if she does not say it you will know she wants to spend the rest of her life with you)

3. I dont want to chastise or over blame on how you squandered 800k and 1m with her, it has happened but learn few lesson from the situation and dont let it repeat itself. You can never be successful financially without financial discipline....... it is key to financial success. Dont squander money like that again.

Lastly i know say this matter involve emotion and you seem to love the girl, so i know it will hard to just let her go like that..... But you have to do what will favour you.......

xynerise:
Yes, I said so.

If you are of the school of thought that providing for the family along automatically makes you a caring father, then you are among those that
risk being irrelevant to your children.

If you look at most families today, the children hardly mention their fathers when making a reference to something inspiring. I mean quoting what your father once taught you or something positive you learnt while growing up. I am referring to fathers of our time.

Today, everything is about making money and paying the bills. That is not enough.
How close are you to your children? It is always the mother that attends to issues that trouble the children today. Even though fathers source for solutions at the end but the children will always remember the person that discovered the problems, or at least care to know what the problem is.

How often do we call our kids, sit them down and ask them about the kind of challenges they face in life?

Some fathers hardly call their children (far from home) on phone except the mother does and maybe pass the phone to him. This has made some people to call mostly their mothers on phone and explain situations to her rather than the father who provides the money to solve the situations.

You can see that despite most fathers provide the money, yet the mothers get most of the appreciation.

My point is, we shouldn't be too focus on just making the money. Let us remember we are also making a family too.

You are on point

ExAngel007:
too obvious...

The "picmix" and backgrounds and shades don't blend well.

exactly my thought..... too obvious...... what's the hype about ?
