In some part of Europe ,taxes is about 30 to 40 percent or more based on your tax class .some pay more tax than others .



Yes, I agree with 90% of what you said, but earning 100K and left with 40K is just an exaggeration. at best you would be left with 65k even if you are living in New York city

A friend told me about somebody who told him that he is broke and can't even fuel his car in naija .he asked for money from my friend .it's really funny to know that my friend does not even have a car abroad and not even a house of his own.people in naija don't know that you have to pay house rents every month,u have to pay all the bills every month ,electricity and water.you can't dodge it ,u have to pay radio and television taxes .The system abroad is based on taxes so that this tax can be used to help others and the develop the country.it is designed to take away from the rich to help the poor ,to balance the gap bw rich and poor.so when u earn much ,u pay more tax.in Nigeria ,u can afford to have 3 or 4 cars but abroad majority in Europe don't have a car,it's expensive to even build a house or buy a house .whereas in naija ,people can have 4 houses .I laugh when people say naija is the worst place on earth.even with all the bad things in naija ,there are some things people in naija still enjoy.when people abroad send all their money back home ,it's because they believe that is where they have hope to build a house and start good business and not abroad.alot of things you can't do abroad because you are a foreigner but you can do in naija .so when people send me request ,I examine the need and see if it's urgent .if not urgent ,u have to wait .it may be after 1 to 3 month.if u can't wait ,u need to find other options.things are also hard abroad,while most Nigerians are asleep,most people abroad are on their way to work as early as 4am .doing tedious job for 8 or more hours




Desperation can bring out the worst in people. I agree with you, i try to set aside a percentage of my earnings for charity, but i discovered that people will always take advantage of it. Some people who make requests end up living better than you, they walk into restaurants and spend money you won't spend on one sitting. You soon start to feel like you are being taken advantage of.

Positivechick:
I expected him to hv me at heart . I want him to get busy n take care of me as a man should. I am not broke neither am I from a poor home.

Positivechick:
I should help him grow while he doesn’t take care of me , no matter how little. Am sorry I can’t do that .

You will have to exercise enough patience.
Just be looking at her.
I hope her visa is not 2, 3 or 5 years visa.
Once the visa needs renewal, just take your time to send her back to where she belongs.
Kalas!

optimusprime2:
I agree with u,first of all,we need to know the country where the issues happens .it depends on the immigration law there.if it's Europe ,I think d woman does not know that she is under the man in terms of residency right.She is only allowed into the country because of the marriage and d ability of the man to provide for her.so she may be deported on some conditions if the marriage does not exist again.i am not so sure about this ,but I think it is so .secondly ,the woman does not know that coming to Europe does not give you automatic right to stay and people work to stay and survive .I know alot of woman are I'll adviced to take fast route by marrying a citizen or somebody with a permanent stay .I have seen women being exploited by men because they need papers to stay,some women even end up claiming asylum .on the long run,it's the woman that wil lose because life in Europe is not as easy as people think.in addition ,if children are involved ,it becomes extremely difficult for women to live as single parent depending on the age of the children.Most women want to live an independent life in Europe . to balance my advice ,some men are also guilty of some vices ,if d man is a Womanizer ,the woman may be tempted to pay back in return.so the man must check is own side too and make amends .Also I think ,if there is a divorce ,the man will not lose his right to stay or have permanent residence and cannot be deported because he is working and has worked for some years contributing to the pension scheme .also I think when a divorcr process is initiated,one year of re consideration is given to the couple to decide if they really want a divorce.i think the couple shud use this period to assess and see if they can make the marriage work .Generally I think women are short sighted and don't think about the future,the woman is ill-advised and has not sat down to know what she will lose .I don't know how long she has stayed since she came ,I think she risk being deported if the maraige fails .pls consult a lawyer,this are my own view





I understand you brov, however if you don't mind, which country happens to be the location of this predicament?

Because the solution to all this, is as easy as pie if you happen to reside in Europe, especially if they "your wife" are on dependent visas/residency status... You don't even need to send her to Nigeria for her to feel that cold bite of reality.

Macon1212:
Almost all African girls are the same,almost same way of thinking .imagine some of the black African girls in Europe still have the mentality that when you take them out ,u must spend on them.these are girls born in Europe .something a white girl won't do .the funniest things is not that this girls don't have money but just feel that guys have to spend on them .however most African women in Europe are pure liabilities,only a minor few are good .

That's not true you are not in USA and you are saying what you don't know, even when both go for dinner sometimes each pay for his/her meal

Localemperor:
I did not start anything, I never knew what am getting my self into. She's inconsiderate, is that how we are suppose to live happily ever after?

amaniro:
Njgerians can be funny .To some people ,building a house is an achievement.Do u know if he is happy in Europe.i have seen people live very miserable life in Europe. When you go in illegally,u can't do anything ,u can't work without a permit. Then u can't even rent a house ,u become a slave to somebody who has document ,u work your life out and hope you find a white guy or woman to marry .then u marry finish,u become a slave to the white ,then end of divorcing .is this life ? And the people in Nigeria envy you for being a slave who has money.i met a Nigerian who is homeless on the street of Europe .he sleeps in night bus and always running from police to avoid deportation.Some end of getting the permit to stay but at the end dying due to some illness they contacted during the period of struggles .I am not saying some are not lucky but I don't think it's worth the risk.the scars will remain permanent . having peace of mind is what is most important .it's funny Nigerians count building houses as achievement,but in Europe ,alots of rich people don't even have as much houses as Nigerians have .They don't have numerous cars like our politicians have in their garage.i think this mentality is what causes stealing and corruption in Africa







Just building a house.. Getting married.. Having a daughter all for passing sahara desert? It's not worth it bro and there is nothing that can justify it. I rather be a taxi driver! There's something called "inner peace or inner satisfaction " trust me you won't have that again after going through this hellish and hectic journey, all to what end? I'm not advocating for mediocrity but people should be satisfied with the little they have.

CollinsWeGlobe:
You know I like your person for being sincere.People just think you come to Europe and everythin is green and good.they don't know some people are homeless and without job.imagine a graduate in Nigeria picking fruits in Europe to survive,a bank manager driving truck .what matters most in life is being at right place at right time . these people pretend to be happy in Europe but are not so,back at home,they were happy even without money.they find themself having to wake up so early to work,work so hard to pay bills and taxes ,sleep less and have multitudes of demand from home

I was jobless in Nigeria and jobless in Europe, bro. I just love to travel, if travelling is a job then I am working as a traveller.

Bro you can try Finland and Netherland during summer for picking jobs don't come to Greece except you want to move to another country from there.

Europe is very hard no work people are looking for a farm job to do they can't even get it.

After this pandemic, many countries around the world will open road for migrant I advise you get your passport ready, May God help us.

ChilamNk:
Nigerians don't know what living abroad means lol.they are deceived by some pictures.
Don't know the discrimination,don't know what black kids face in school ,don't know that in some Europeans countries,blacks can't work in some positions ,can't take good jobs but menial jobs.dont know how tedious some jobs are abroad.they don't know that the rich in Nigeria only send their children abroad and then bring them back home to work in great offices in nigeria.after all said ,some still make it in abroad not everybody abroad is doing fine,come in illegally and you will know suffering abroad is worse than Nigeria







God bless you bro for saying what is in resemblance with the truth.

Living abroad doesn't mean so much money, I believe there's still a lot of struggling to do.

But then again don't misquote me.

Unlike here in Nigeria, with focus and determination overtime you'll never be as poor as church rat.

I'm currently doing something even thou the pay isn't that much while waiting for service, just hope to do my NYSC soon and plan my way out. May God help our Nigerian youths who are working hard to succeed.

Blazebond:
In the early days of Nigeria ,no tribalism .everybody loved one another ,it was one Nigeria then ,over the years ,things have changed due to bad governance.in those days ,people cud live peacefully in the northern part but now no more .many of the old generations of those days all schooled together and played together .it is different for the present generation are made to hate one another.its now a divided country full of hatred and tribalism.









Questions you should ask yourself is,why is there ethnic and religious hatred in Nigeria? What stoked it? How can it be diffused?,as good as your advise up there is,it Ain't going to help Nigeria as a whole,ut can only help the individual,for once think about the collective rather than the singular,greed,paddy paddy,nepotism,tribal and religious bigotry is what made us a crippled nation today,shelve such thoughts and think how to amend the errors of the past,Nigerians ain't one in heart except when it comes to sport,have you asked yourself why? Ask yourself,let us all ask ourselves why,we can only stay as one and grow as one if we see ourselves as equals first before anything.we need a round table discussion,it is time to discuss the union called NIGERIA,paddy paddy will only lead to destruction.

ZombiePUNISHER:
My dear ,even jobs are sometimes based on recommendations,people recommended ngozi to obansanjo.if onyenma is capable ,there is nothing wrong if his friend kyari recommended him.At least he was a good man to some irrespective of whatever Nigerians believe about him.As you can see ,kyari is well learned,he may have principles that people don't like,he has done his work on earth and gone to his maker.so it's God who will judge him and not what people say .





Shut up there

Buhari government is a conglomeration of past present friends and family members

Is that how to run a government?...
Who in this administration is more experienced in the area of Economy and finance like Iweala

But tribalism and who knows who won't allow the nation progress
When this onyema was yapping rubbish about what went down in China regarding Nigerian citizens there... I knew he was handed a script by his employers..

We have never had it this bad

It
Nigerian roads are not designed for bicycles.it is a big risk riding bicycles on a busy road with lawless and reckless motorist and bikers .our road shud have bicycle path if this idea is to be appreciated .anyway ,it may be ok on a less busy road .









will be too dangerous for a kid her age to ride on the Lagos crazy road.she would have to contend with the rough Danfor drivers and other motorist that drive with recklessly abandon on our road. She can learn cycling around her neighborhood for ow but not fit to cycle independently on the busy crazy Lagos main roads.
