FamilyRe: The Benefits Of Marrying Young Even If You Are Poor by Commotfornigeri: 3:33pm On Mar 23, 2021
Etuagievin:
. That's when you always try to compare yourself with others. Certainty not everything your mates does you will love to do. Otherwise, you may fall into deep mess
It's not necessarily competition.

When in school, do things right and graduate.

when people are figuring out jobs/business, do the same and go hard at it.

If you slack and say you want to rest, there is time, you may lose out.

After nysc, i rented a house and started my life. My friends who went to their parents house had it tougher because they were relaxed applying for jobs from home.

I had it tougher at first, but then I started to earn 20k, then 35, then 50, then 65 and it blew off.

They didnt consideer the 20k potential, and till now, most are struggling.

This will make them become careful about whom they hurt.

They are killing police officers now o people are deflecting attention away from the injustice being done to innocent families with children now made fatherless and wives turned into widows. When their colleagues pursue those killing these policemen, know that your double standards is partly to blame.
RIP to the patriots killed in active service. FG should get justice for these victims of terrorists. Visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs.
Dont you think the police may have hurt someone and he's coming for payback?

If the police killed my loved one, I would do worse.

It's their cross. they should find whom they offended.

PoliticsRe: Ahmed Wase: Nigerians Abroad Threaten To Withhold $23b Remittance by Commotfornigeri: 6:49pm On Mar 16, 2021
Simplyleo:
I still don't understand what kind of threat this is.

Are they sending the dollars to Nigerian account or to their families?

Just like a man threatening to stop taking care of his family for whatever reason.

They can withhold their remmittance, maybe so buhari will die of hunger.

Whatever benefit Nigeria stand to gain from the remmittance can go to blazes.

Nonsense and ingredients.
Your thought process seems shallow.

The money helps provide availability of USD to nigeria, which is why dollar is not up to 2knaira/$ at the moment or worse.

If the naira slides against the dollar, do you think your 30k income will still have value in the market?

Do you know the commission banks make from these transactions? and how it benefits their work force, and to a larger scale, unemployment?

Without these remittances, people will not be able to buy their necessities. Low trading activities means doom for the economy.

Do you know how many businesses have been set up by nigerians in diaspora? and how they keep people like you employed?

Please, do not embarrass your teachers.

FamilyRe: I Regret Getting Married To The Mother Of My Triplets by Commotfornigeri: 10:10pm On Mar 15, 2021
Prospertochu:
I cautioned my wife but she is threatening to abandon me with the kids. I have told her to do her worse because I am tired of her madness.
Let her go my guy.

If she leaves, send the kids to your mom and give your mom 30k to take care of them, she will gladly support you.

EVERY MAN DESERVES HIS PEACE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE EARNS!

I agree that you need to do more, but nagging does not change the situation and if she keeps at it, she will send you to crime or an early grave. Try to work with her, but if she refuses to work with and support you, let her go.
FamilyRe: Is My Wife Correct On This Matter? by Commotfornigeri: 10:32pm On Mar 11, 2021
Chuxx84:
Good evening nairalanders.
Please I need advice/opinions on this issue at hand.

I have been taking care of my mother since before I got married, I have other brothers older and younger but they are not financially buoyant. (So they claimed) I did not mind this but kept on caring for her ( house rent, feeding, other bills).

Although it's a burden to me, but she is my mother. Now my wife suggest that any money I want to give to her should pass through her (I will send to my wife then she sends to my mother) or she does the sending and I later pay her back.

Her claim is my mother is fetish with my money. I'm confused can this be true? Sometimes my mother will make simple money request my wife would say I should ignore her. She says she is taking me for a fool. I am beginning to get tired of this whole thing. Please help with advice or opinions.

Thanks.
She wants to start doing account to know how much you are sending to your mother.

She will later use it against you during a quarrel or use it to measure how much you send to her mother/family.

Be smart.
PoliticsRe: IPOB: We Have Killed Mohammed Isa, Captured Fulani Terrorist by Commotfornigeri: 10:18pm On Mar 11, 2021
Monogamy:
Truth be told, I really don't know how some of you Igbo's see things.

So ESN all away from SE region went to Benue state to arrest and kill Fulani militants.

Benue state is in NC not even SS... That's is trespassing .. There may be Igbo people residing in some part of Benue state but they are under different leader in care of security of the state.

ESN it's self is not recognized anywhere, not even by SE governors or politicians.

Before misreading my epistle, anything to avoid unnecessary war/fracas is what I am after.

The killing is not a thing to brag off
What have igbo politicians recognized that is good for igbos?

Add just basic cable
With telus, $150

Add phone with unlimited internet
This isnt necessary. There's wifi almost everywhere. Plus why get unlimited phone internet and still get unlimited home internet?

Add faster internet service and recalculate
150mbps is fast enough


Apart from $800 grocery most cad bills are reasonable

Well, my phone bill is $35. unlimited calls, unlimited text +5GB data.

Home internet is $50. Unlimited and 150mbps.

No cable. I use IPTV service and stream any channel i want to watch.

When i see people list all that stuff, I just wonder sha.

Rent: $1850 (3bed)
Groceries $500
Internet:$60
Car insurance: $220
Lawn:$60
Water:$40
Electricity: $60 ($100summer due to hvac)
Gas:$35
Petrol:$60
Phone.:$15 (phone all mine- only call, text and data)
Renters insurance:$30
Now this is more realistic. One thing that is still affordable in the west is food. Especially if you buy in bulk.

I see people listing $400-500 for phone bills. What kind of plans are they buying? Why not get a phone out rightly?

Anyways, this thread isn't about frugal living...

COMPAQ:
I haven't seen much here that overinflated. Styfff can vary pretty widely depending on where you live. Accommodation in New York that's $3000 might be $1500 in New Orleans.

Your comment suggest you have a pretty good professional job along with your spouse. If there are two good earners in a family abroad and neither wastes money on fashion and gadgets, then then yes you can have money left over.

Other people though may have only one income (usually for kid issues), and the income is not great, but so they will tend to struggle. Extra income from spouse makes a lot of difference abroad.
If the figures are not inflated, then maybe they are living flamboyantly.

From most of the numbers, I can assure you asides rent and utilities, there are most of them that i can cut down rapidly and shave off an extra 1k into savings.

Happy2020:
Those who haven’t traveled think living abroad is Disneyland. It had its perks but you also have to bust your azz to pay these bills every single month and when you don’t pay, you get kicked out of your place or the utilities get turned off or they even come and take your car.
Living abroad comes with the stress of maintaining yourself monthly. People borrow money so they can take their annual trip back to Naija just to floss and flex then they spend the rest of the year or more paying that bill.
Trust me, some of these people are inflating the figures.

Currently my household spends about 45% of our income monthly. 5% goes out to family as support and the remaining 50% goes into savings.

This is post tax income and we already have our pensions deducted.

At time of retirement, we'd have saved our 50% which is roughly 3k+ cumulatively for numerous years + pension which is about 3k per month per person + the Canada Pension Plan that old people get (about 500+ per person).

Imagine my wife and I retiring with that much, and a paid off house. We can afford to do vacation anywhere without depending on our kids who will already be settled too.

Should we choose to retire in nigeria, we will be killing it too.

So, look at the bigger picture. pensioners are dying anyhow in nigeria and you dont even have as much old people because people dont live long.

Look deeper.

For a family of 5. Province, Alberta.

1. Mortgage =$2,500 (ppty tax & insurance included)
2. Grocery Shopping = $900 (African food, Eat out Inc.)
3. Utility bills (electricity, shaw and mobile phones) = $700
4a 1 Auto loan and insurance = $730, we have 2 cars one is paid off. and one is on loan
4b. Auto Gas = $200 wifey doesn't drive much
5. Day care for the last child= $800/month
6. Miscellaneous =$200

Total = about $ 6000 monthly
This list is true sha, although not frugal like me.

Whats the essence of this post other than showing off and childishness. Peoples circumstances in life are different. We have people at home doing better than those abroad and we have some residing in Western World who are stucked there for years and cannot even feed themselve. We all know those abroad send money home regardless of the country. Even those at home spend more money on their loved ones. We can't be comparing and competing with ourself. This post is highly unnecessary. God can bless anyone regardless of the country you are and your situation can change quickly.
God can bless you but nigeria can delete the effects of the blessings.

The man sent me to buy peak milk so he can take tea. This was around 7.30pm. I decided to branch the game house and watch one or two games.

Some moments later i heard my father's voice outside the game house asking questions. It was 10pm.

I'm not sure why he didn't deal with me that day. hmmm. huh undecided
