Ayam not understanding

You are feeling something for your Ex or you are feeling something for the laptop.

Heartbreak stinks! I can relate to this...but what I find foolish is the stupid oath you took! You should know better about these things, you are a graduate for Pete's sake! People change, let that ring into your head everyday.

IamAirforce1:
You can say all you want, No biggy
But posting my pictures is highly unacceptable.

Hahahahaha you are replying yourself Wetin I no go see for Nairaland I was having a bad day tho....thanks

haibe:
You only got to know it is 40k after she made the comment later, you concluded it couldn't be 5k paye without even initially knowing her gross, so free the guy you are quoting, he is also thinking like you, he has probably not read up to the point the lady said the gross is 40k. The most important point is that a paye is 5k is very normal and thats what he was trying to address.

That was why I told you yesterday, it is COMMON SENSE!!!!! I don't expect her to earn anything higher than this after stating the working conditions! Can you compare your job to hers? Do you think the Government does not consider small companies as such? Don't compare where you work to hers please! How much are they earning as profit, that will make them pay so much? It is just common sense.

demarc001:
Tax consultant or fashion designer?

Accountant, Tax Consultant, Fashion Designer and into sales too....anything?

slimjosh43:
It's possible as my paye is 6500

Yes right, on a salary of 40k too? her boss just exploited her and that's the basic truth!

midolian:
As a tax consultant, i expected you to ask what her gross income is like before your conclusion. Depending on your income, you can pay as much as 50k or more monthly.

Not saying the employer has said the truth..just saying its possible to pay 5k or more as tax monthly depending on your income..

I'm not saying it is impossible, just go through her post again....I'm really in a bad mood and can't argue please.

haibe:
You are missing it!! Are you really a tax consultant? The only typical allowable deduction she is likely to have is Employee pension at 8%, it is unlikely that she has made contributions to NHF, Life assurance premium.. etc, so yes, her salary can be 5k without her employer stealing from her.. Even if her gross is 70k, her PAYE can be around 5k. The fact that some companies of 10 staff pay less than 5k in total doesn't mean they paid the proper thing, some companies employ tax avoidance strategies, the popular one being Voluntary Pension Contribution. The reason i said we need to know her Gross Emolument before drawing any conclusion.

If you knew me well on this forum, you'd know that arguing isn't my thing. I don't have the time!

haibe:
How can you say 5k is too much, why not ask what her Gross Pay is first

Bros it is simply common sense! She already told us the amount is low, the company also lacks the necessary facilities to operate as a business. From her post, it is obvious that the company is still at it's baby stage hence struggling to stand on it's feet. I prepare Tax payrolls, and I can assure you that, not even the boss renders up to such an amount as Tax. How can one person pay #60,000 naira as tax annually? When some companies with at least 10 staff don't pay up to such an amount...it is extremely ridiculous!

Op, it could be anxiety problem o!
Okay, about many months ago, I thought I had high blood pressure and might get an attack! Oh boy! The thing be like joke ooo....any small thing, I'll be having heavy chest pain....fear won't let me go to the hospital to confirm if I had high blood pressure for real! After several months of suffering from unnecessary chest pains, one day while coming back from church service i stopped by at a near by Hospital, i prayed to God and took the bold step to go check, lo and behold, my blood pressure was extremely okay! Since then ehnnn....no chest pains again ooo Anxiety and Fear is real oooo! It will make you feel what isn't there and you'd be so certain that you are ill when you are not.

Modified; sorry, I forgot to add that when j checked my blood pressure with the home pressure checker, it was actually really high....it was above 140, because each time I checked I was always panicking. But you see, when you are serving a living God, nothing shall by any means hurt you. I prayed to God so much to take away the fear , anxiety and the High blood pressure and God answered my prayers. Please talk to Your Heavenly Father, He is ready to Heal you...just Call Him.

Stay Blessed.

Xda59:
It is sheer arrogance.

I agree...

Maybe he was in a bad mood

#5,000 naira for tax? I'm a Tax Consultant and that is unbelievable too much!!!! Just for a month? Kai
So in essence, if you worked for him for a year, you will be paying a total of #60,000 naira for tax annually?

Me Boring..you don't know me...so I shouldn't try to make you understand.
If you still cannot comprehend, I'll suggest you hire a translator... They're everywhere at an affordable cost..

Why are you replying her? You get time.

efavour:
Did you see what I saw. Half of these witless men are mad that the lady found love other than their wretched self. You know they believed single mom's should be married to stupid,useless men in the society.

You are extremely right oooo.....going through the comments, I couldn't help but to notice the high hatred and jealousy being flooded on the thread.....they ain't even pretending about it! We've truly lost our humanity!

Wow! The comments here are disappointing!!!!!!

Hi FAM,

I need to get all the information I can get about traveling to Netherlands. I need to know the procedures

amicable09:
Not knowing where we were or where we were driving to, we had driven for close to one hour cos when they threw out the mama from the bus after seeing that she didn't have money neither did she have a debit card, they instructed her not to shout when they drop her off. They showed her their gun and as expected, she complied.

When the door opened, I wished for an escape myself, I was far inside on the floor in between the legs of a man holding a knife, they told us (the lady behind and I) to be quiet. We made no sound. The drop off was very quick too and the bus zoomed off. I think I saw the woman raise her hands to the sky and thanked her 'God'. Our God must be on their way, I remained hopeful.

Still driving, a call came in. It was from the gang member who was with our cards. Six cards in total. I had four while the lady behind had two. The caller confirmed that all my pins were correct but that the lady behind gave them the wrong pins. I think at that point she got stabbed. There was frustration by the reaction of everyone in the bus, including me. Just gives them the correct pin so we can be free please. What is money compared to life?
Because the longer we stayed with them, the more ideas of evil they may have.

From slaps from left and right, she gave the right pin. They called back the guy at the ATM stand and he confirmed it. But there was yet another bad news for them...

The ATM wasn't dispensing cash!

When I heard it, I knew my own God had arrived. But bad news for me, one of the guys suggested he tried another machine in a different bank so off he continued while we drove. Some guy advised that it was already very bright and since the cards were in their position they should look for a lonely path to throw us out. The rest of them concurred. The search for a lonely place at past 7 was not easy to find. After another long drive in curses and threats, we were given the ground rules.

'Now you guys will go down, but first, we go apply aboniki balm for your eyes... Don't worry, we go lead you down, don't shout. When you get down, no shout! If you shout, we will shoot!'

"I no go shout!" I nodded "but I beg, no rub me robb for eyes, I get eye problem"

'E be like say this girl no serious o! We go give her HIV o!'

"I no go shout, just drop me"
The lady behind, wailing and pleading promised not to shout too. They took out generous amount of aboniki balm and applied into our eyes that was when we both began to cry like babies

The bus halted. We were led down and the engine started. But guess what!
In our semi blind state, that lady began to shout, "thief! Thief! Thief! Somebody help me! I've been robbed! Catch them for me!"

Ah! Please I need to see. Where am I? I continued crying.

Just then, some good Samaritans appeared and began asking questions. Someone gave me handkerchief, I tried and tried to clean off the balm but it kept hurting. I begged for a phone and called a family member. The tears after a while washed away the balm and its effects, then my eyes became clear. Where I saw myself was at ketu. I said a quick prayer. Turned to look at my fellow victim but she was nowhere to be found. My head was pounding, without cash or phone, I asked for water from the crowd that looked at me with pity. One man said everyday, they drop off victims along that road. Another asked if I was touched, I said I was beaten. He sympathized with me. Then I remembered my debit cards...

WHAT TO DO AFTER YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED...
1. I'll advice, just the same way you memorize numbers of close friends and family members, memorize your bank's contact center number. I guess no one may have told you this before but hear it today. Call Contact Center! If you can't call, send an email. That number is as important as your account officer's number. Make sure you put a call through.
2. If for any reason you're unable to reach your banks via telephone, visit the nearest branch. Get your card hotlisted! Block your card! Don't waste time before doing this. You may ask, why block a card after I've been robbed and money withdrawn from my account? I'll respond by saying, you never know who will pay in money in another two to three hours time. With that card active with them, you're perpetually doomed. Get the card blocked! And do so immediately.
3. Immediately you walk into a banking hall, get a customer service agent place a lien on your account. There's a limit to how much can be withdrawn daily. In case they have reached that limit, make sure you place hold on the balance in your account.
4. Desist from saving bank SMS alerts on your phone when you have an attractive closing balance. You can always request for statement of account or email alerts instead.
5. If transfer was done through POS, keep calm. Your funds can be traced. There is a money trail and you 'can' get your money back and even get the criminals arrested....

More to come

Oh my goodness! I'm sorry you went through this...but I think I must have seen you at the bustop you were dropped. ..was it at Ketu Toll gate bustop?
