Politics / Re: Nigeria’s VAT Collection, Lowest In Africa – Tajudeen Abbas by bigsyke: 8:49am On May 01
Likeseun:
What a big lie VAT is calculated at 3-5% on any commodity and services while in Nigeria the last time I checked on consumer goods is at 7.5% .. and you can hardy see North part pay VAT.
The money they collect from this company is the reason why most companies underpay their staff. SON came to my workplace the other day, they saw many things that ain't right yet they did nothing. It's more like they came for excursion

FatherOfJesus:
you don't know how war works.

If United States is supporting Ukraine, should Russia attack united states?

Isreal does not have any right to attack Iran directly if Iran didn't directly attack them. Isreal dey think say them no fit stop them.
I just hope Iran have a defense mechanism too, should Isreal respond and it end in many casualties, it will turn to a full blown war and it's likely to escalate. I hope they let things slide to keep an average peace for at least few years

FatherOfJesus:
Rubbish, Israel attacked them first.

Why are you hypocrites not talking about Israel's attacks?
Israel is targeting Iran's top generals. Don't forget that Isreal feels Iran is the one helping Hamas fight their war.

Romance / Re: Blocked Nose For 5 Years by bigsyke: 3:42am On Oct 27, 2023
Genset:
Hi guys, i have constantly had blocked nose for 24/7hours, 365 days for more than five years. My nose produces excessive mucus everyday. It has not stopped since five years. I am tired, i dont sleep well and my roomates always complain. I am sad and tired. My nose has no use to me anymore other than producing mucus.I dont even breathe with my nose anymore but my mouth. Gone to different hospitals but no doctor seems to understand what am passing through. I have even done an x-ray on my nose but nothing. Guys, please help me. This thing is making me give up on life. Imagine blowing your nose all year round and an not exaggerating. I always have a tissue paper with me.


Weed will fix this problem, thank me later. Smoke it for a while and you can stop later if you don't like it

Hohaiiiode:
you guys can be funny at times . Mexico is over two times the seize of Nigeria , there is violence no doubt but saying is worse than Nigeria is not true. I live in Mexico and truth be told there are violence. Just yesterday. A doctor was killed in the same tower where my wife have a consult in hospital español in one of the safest neighborhoods in the capital. But comparing Nigeria to Mexico is very funny. There is just no parameter that are comparable please… Nigeria is my country but sir… there is non.

Even if you are talking of poverty rate. Oga the idea and concept of poverty is relative o. If you go to some of the worse neighborhoods you will wonder Al what poverty really means from a Nigerian stand point. The challenge of language is a big issue for Nigerians trying to migrate here. And by the way it is not easy as you might think. But better and more cost effective and if you relate with Mexicans and smart with leverage like mine since I have a wife. There are tons of businesses and partnerships you can go into . Mexicans are very receptive and accommodating to we blacks . But please don’t compare the two countries . Mexico is the 11 or 12 th economy in the world . And have the infrastructure for business to thrive . Only avoid some states in the north of the country and areas around Veracruz
Seems I'll be restrategizing. Will give Mexico a try.

Lol

Majority of you guys are funny. Do you guys think people are running away from Nigeria mainly because of money?

If you like become billionaire in Nigeria, you aren't safe living amongst the poor. Or you don't know most Nigerians are poor and hungry? Your children is their prime target. You're not safe from police brutality, bad road and the likes
Sometimes I wonder why some people still want to stay when they have all the right resources to exit. Everything is not about money

So Nigeria have finally happen to me, I thought if I save a little to the 5M I have, it would be able to leave this country by next year.

But right now, it is impossible, I saw on Twitter how a lady was begging money for flight ticket which was about 2.2M, just flight ticket o.

Months ago, a relative of mine told me someone is looking for a dependent and he will connect me to the person, he said the payment was 4M and I was not going to pay much after that and I will stay with the person in the UK before I settle on my own but I was forming big girl saying I will do my process by myself.

Now look, dollar have increased, the money is now worthless, anyway when there is life, there is hope.

Nairaland please help me think of a business to start with 2M, I can't just leave the money in the bank to keep on depreciating.

Thank you
Don't give up on Japa just yet. All you need to do right now is restrategize.

Please help me. Tell me what may work in this situation.

They would use that north gaza as full buffer zone so that their own boarder go far small from invaders

after this there would be peace for at least 20 years when their head reset
I fully understand. I hope they free the prisoners as soon as possible.

Israel wants to finish Gaza
Once they take Gaza, trust me there will be peace for at least a decade but they will have to brace up for unknown terrorist attacks. An enemy you know is more easily conquered than an enemy you don't know.

We will obliterate Hamas, we will triumph. It might take time, but we will end this war stronger than ever. "May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them." Dem go settle down pick hamas little beans without rushing

At the end, they would gain more than they came into the war
Seems they are ready to end the war once and for all.

Lol we will soon start another math like this...


If Team A beat Team B 5:0 we qualify but if they play 3:1 we do go home...
Are Group A playing Group B at the knockout stage immediately after the group qualifier?

The group looks promising for the Super Eagles but don't put your hopes to high.
