Many have died or committed suicide out of depression arising from loneliness. Not until you see a single guy/lady to tell you the truth you won't know what they re going through....

Juliusmalema:
RIP Dede Amaechi.


This is a great loss to Ikwerre ethnic nationality and to Rivers state people.


May God give you all the fortitude to bear the loss

How is it a great loss? Because he's Amaechi brother? Is he greater or bigger than those who have died?

jerryunit48:
None sense , nobody is forcing you to like Nigerians just allow them be that is all

Is he right or wrong? Why do you guys hate the truth so much?

salford1:
Nothing like white Indians. Just a lighter shade as can be seen in those from Northern India/Pakistan/Afghanistan.

I termed it dat just to show that there are blacks also, the light ones seems themselves as demigods to the darker ones and are so proud. They don't associate with the darker ones because to them everything is class.

All this people sef, infiltrating all the countries of the world, they can fluke any process just to get what they want. Their version of racism is outta this world. They don't associate with others except themselves mostly the white indians

Legalcriminal:
Damn Too bad.

To every hustlers stay safe Red Jacket Alert.

See them, fraudsters, reaping were they did not sow, someone will one day hustle ur mama.

osizi06:
I will vie for Ize Iyamu because what Edo need now is a governor from Orhionmwon LG. This is the biggest yet the most underdeveloped LG in Edo State.

You can imagine what qualifies someone to be the best candidate in Nigeria elections and we still wonder why the country is in ruins.... I duffey cap for una o

ThatFairGuy:
Nonsensical. Someone that joined politics since inception of this 4th Republic. He's been in political offices since 1999-2019. Did he practiced his profession up to a decade? No. How did he now amass those wealth if not from Corruption. Namby-pamby judgement

Maybe we should ask all politicians same questions, the likes of Tinubu, Amechi, and the likes because politics is all they have known

FlordFlorez:
What a fuckery! This government wants to chase away the limited investors we have. How do they make profit with this stupid code?

What exactly do you guys want? Why are they scared of competition? Have they not enjoyed the monopoly enough?

tyup:
Getting to marry a lady from South east or South south is just one a suicide mission and not worth the risk either

that's why i'll advice both my Northern blooders n Yoruba counterparts to avoid them like plagues

All those killing their husbands in the northern part of the country who are they? Like the one that was sentenced to death of recent

Juliusmomoh:
Have u been there b4 ..

Very funny.... I speak from first hand experience not sitting down in Nigeria and speak base on hearsay....

Juliusmomoh:
Then covic 19 does not exist , if 800 people can die a day and someone there knew nobody.

Do you think US is like Nigeria where you know your neighbors? In an apartment of 10 floors and about 100 rooms you don't even know who ur next door neighbor is.

XXLMANDIGO:
What I hate most is the trend of indifference in the body language of President Buhari. With his position as the President he should naturally be the arbiter to resolve conflicts and party issues when all available avenues has been exhausted. A President that lost Zamfara and Rivers to internal squabbles is a lazy, figure head Leader.

Governance= Zero

Party Politics= Zero

Banditry=Zero

Corruption= Zero

Economy= Zero

Overall it's obvious Buhari is an incompetent leader and that's so pathetic for a Country like ours in 2020. It's hard being a Zombie or BMC.

That one na living being?

iwaeda:
Sen. Shehu Sani should follow them to the bush to count.

We need pictures because anyone can sit in their offices and release statements. If they had not been lying to us nobody will be demanding picture evidence

Possiblegee:
But people get mind o ,especially women imagine person get mind thief 29 billion chai people get mind sha

And you believed them..... shows you would believe anything

NaijadrivaCars:
As at today, 1,169.84 United States Dollar =456,237.60 Nigerian Naira.

An amount that couldn't buy a plot of land in Lagos then but today, it can in some areas.


Nigeria which way?

Nigeria which way? No way my brother

olaboy33:
I wonder why dangote will need 270 workers from India alone in a country of over 100 million available work force.

It's not untrue that our educational system is not in order, but adequate training will fill the gap.

Use Nigeria, grow Nigeria.

We'll remain committed.

Boye2023

Maybe you have not put a fellow Nigerian to run your business, they will run it aground and embezzle all your money. If you try to monitor them 24/7 you will hear them complain. We have this attitude of "he has money so let's chop our own". What I would have suggested is the managerial positions should be Indians while Nigerians will do the rest.

You get that kind money and you wan buy tecno, e b lie say u no like better thing at all

IJOBA2:
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP

You guys just sit in Nigeria and say trash things, do you think that mofo think about you?

smeag0l:
Every other person that doesn't do a white collar job in nigerian cities is either an artisan or does business. Almost all CAC registered businesses in nigeria pay tax provided they have a functional office. Besides, what you pay as tax on groceries over there is value-added, same think that is already included in the prices of groceries we buy here too. While it is true that businessmen dont pay tax here compared to other countries, it is also true that a lot of people over there especially businessmen also look for loopholes in the tax system in order to reduce their taxes. Also, I dont think there's any difference in the tax you pay theee on grkceries and the ones paid here. Most nigerians pay tax on items they buy here without even knowing.

I talked about VAT in Nigeria, same as what we pay on groceries. Show me any artisan that pays tax in Nigeria, even those that you said register their businesses especially the small businesses most times receive cash into other accounts so as not to pay anything. I also gave you an instance were I went to change my tire just like taking your car to a vulcanized, at the end I was charged tax apart from the workmanship. Nigerians are actually having everything free of charge that's why when they travel out they keep shouting too much bills as as if say na teeth the countries them take develop. Anybody who don't want to pay bills or tax should stay back home and let other pay the bills and enjoy what they came to enjoy. I wish you guys well in that jungle.

smeag0l:
Oga, most people that work for organisations or companies in nigeria pay tax. Ive read this statement about how people don't pay tax in nigeria over and over again on this thread and it annoys me. I pay 25% of my salary as tax.

I paid taxes in Nigeria when I was there working but the question is how many people pay tax? That's why people say Nigerians don't pay tax because the moment you don't work white collar, you either don't pay tax or you can boycott the tax burden that can't be said. Everything you do here you pay tax. I changed my tyres from winter to summer 2 weeks ago, the workmanship was $100 and I also paid $12 tax making it $122. That's the tax we re talking about. You repair car, you pay tax, you buy groceries, you pay tax anything that involves money you pay tax. Such is not the same in Nigeria. Apart from the one deducted from the source and Vat nothing more.

omonnakoda:
Noise of gen is good

You no talk noise of Mountain of Fire and Brimstone
The truth is as a supermarket security guard on close to minimum wage you have a quality of life that some doctors in Nigeria don't have

Nigerians don't know the kind of low life they live until they step out of the country. They feel they re the highest. They will tell you how people re living on loans abroad but they have forgotten how people back home run from microfinance to another loan house looking for money upandan. Nigeria were person go buy 2003 car in 2020 and tell you I just buy new car.

eazzzy1:
Lol. Nobody makes $100,000 and ends up with $40,000 after deductions. Anyway this is not a homebased vs diasporan thread. How do you cope with the people abroad making financial request?

It's like the guy they beef abroad people.

Klass99:
I can relate to this post. I had a school mate schooling and working in Russia. She often had to fall back on money contributed by her siblings in Naija to survive. She didn't stay back after school, she came home.

My own cousin returned from Australia, after his Masters. He said the system over there won't allow you live a very comfortable life. Everything is billed and taxed to a point where, you can hardly afford nice but expensive things for yourself.

He said most of the people he befriended had never been on a plane or travelled outside their states of residence, because by the time they are done paying bills, there's very little left for travel. Travelling for them, would mean a financial plan of 6 or 8 months ahead for that trip.

Do you know it's only in Africa we don't pay such bills or probably we try to cut corners, reason we are still were we re today. You make money in Nigeria without paying tax, you cut corners just to avoid that but in those countries the system has made it that you can't avoid tax, you must pay and that's what the government used in putting those beautiful cities in place and we start enjoying and admiring those cities from Nigeria. I live in Canada, and I pay my Bill's and taxes and I see what it's being used for so I'm happy to pay. At the end of the tax year you get your tax returns running into thousands of dollars. But what do we have back home? Another thing is people travel all in the name of traveling. Wetin you go find for Russia? I have friends in Australia, who re doing well. Nigerians need to drop the mentality of I'm traveling to become a millionaire overnight, it doesn't work that way. Canada for example, you work for every dollar you, no side gig or cutting of corners unlike Nigeria were we see illegal money before the month ends and do all sort of runs. You work legitly for all your dollars. You can do other business which will be taxed too.

rentAcock:
Abroad people call me every weekend asking me to send money (not bragging). Many of them are frustrated over there. They work long hours including overtime but the government takes federal, state, city, social security, medicare, medicaid and disability taxes. On top of that, when they buy biscuit, they will still take sales tax. They pay exorbitant rent; those who "own" homes are locked in a loan repayment for 30yrs of which they still have to pay annual taxes for their house. Phone bill can cost over $60 per line, cable $120, internet $80 and they still pay tax on top of it. Burger and chips with soft drink can easily cost you $16 plus tax.

Sure some folks are making over $100,000 theoretically especially healthcare workers in expensive states like California and new York, but by the time they deduct all those taxes from their check, they are left with just $40,000. Then they still have to pay more taxes on every thing they buy. That's not life. It's like a rat wheel, oscillating but not making any progress. I have a cousin who was in the same situation in America, after 10yrs working as a social worker, he returned home and we started up a business. He still regrets all the years he spent slaving away in America. Today, he travels the world on vacation and visiting places he didn't even have time to visit when he was living abroad. It's not too late for Nigerians living abroad to return home; you can make it big here with less stress and you will extend your life span.

You spoilt your write up with the last part of extending your life span. What is the life expectancy of Nigerians? Is it up to 60? Go and check that of US, Canada and other westerncountries. Nigerians need to know that some people traveled out just to have that good life and live like a normal human being and not the kind of jaga jaga life we have in Nigeria. Until you sleep without the noise from your gen, bikes and until you stay with power for months and years without a blink in power you won't still realize why some people decide to go.

haaaaaaaaa:
Upgrade your CV and land your dream job for a token

Let me guess you are the side guy.
You are just another guy who rushes to conclusion without enough solid evidence.
Because a woman cheats, does not mean all women are cheats and because a man is bad, doesn't mean all men are scum.


It's degrading to say that you got her from the streets, that speaks volumes about your person.
Just because you got her cheaply don't translate all NYSC corpers are sleazy and unfaithful.
