Strange fellow.

Yes. US taxes are lower than Canadian or European taxes.

You can look it up to confirm for yourself, if you like

Basically if you are a very rich man, you don't need the benefits, structure, and safety net that the US provides.

It is only for ordinary, regular folk for whom those benefits are really vital.

Give up American citizenship?

I'm sure many would, if keeping it would cost them 100+ million.

Rationally the best thing to do is to give up your citizenship if it costs that much.

I don't think the value of US citizenship can be more than $10 million for most people.

And even that is probably a dramatic overestimate..

With that said...if I were as rich as him and stood to lose as much money in taxes as him...perhaps I too would renounce my citizenship.

But if you are worth several billion dollars, does a few 100 mil one way or another matter? I dunno...not an easy question for me.

why do you say that

our taxes are much lower than European or Canadian taxes, for example

Heh.

Kind of ruthless...shows a lot of ingratitude for the opportunities the US has provided him.

But makes sense financially.

Only Musiwa can lead Yoruba people to the promised land

Btw somehow "Yorubas" as a word feels weird to me.

I feel like the plural is "Yoruba."

1. He is Yoruba.
2. "They are Yoruba", not "They are Yorubas."

Thoughts?

Yorubas Are The Best

Agreed.

Cool. I sent you an email.

djustice: You really are quite the dimwit, aren't you? Is he a private citizen? Did he not recently sack all doctors and announce to us that he'd hired new ones? Why didn't he avail himself of the services of those new doctors? Is there a screw loose in your amoebic brain or something? Better scoot back to Ekiti and stop commenting on things you know nothing about and can never understand...opeloko oshi!

And if the medical condition his father is being treated for in the US is not something treatable by doctors in Lagos? Or Nigeria, for that matter?

What if it turns out that the foremost specialist is in Chicago?

Do you not reason at all before you type

I know that you are a very stvpid man. But surely you can do better than this.

djustice: Of course it's not your business, since you are an at'ounrinwa in Lagos. You cannot poke your stinking nose in our matter.

Agreed, it isn't my business what Fashola and his father are doing. And neither is it yours.

He is not just any man. He is the governor of Lagos state.

Indeed. And where in his duties as governor of Lagos state is it written that he and his other siblings cannot take care of their father in the best way they deem fit?

The governor who decided to deprive the people of quality health care by constructively dismissing all the medical doctors on government payroll with his refusal to improve their working conditions, contrary to promises made by him and on his behalf.

You are a goddamn m0ron.

Lmao. Fashola, by fighting these goverment doctors is trying to CUT DOWN costs. So that he can provide more healthcare given his budget.

He is under ZERO obligation to pander to his employees. Any sane organization tries to keep its costs down as much as possible.

Are you too stupid to realize that your interests and his coincide in this matter?

Finally... whatever he is doing with these fired doctors is no reason for his own father to do X, Y, or Z. They do not relate.

You are a hypocrite sir, and a very bad one at that.

Hypocrite? You who claim that this is not my affair are meddling in a man's private relationship with his father. Are you not the hypocrite?

God will punish you for the nonsense you just typed up there.
He-goat!

Heh.

Ordinarily I would retort and wish you ill as well. But obviously, God already has withheld intelligence and reason from you, something he has blessed me abundantly with.

So no reason for me to curse a cursed man any further.

With respect to his father, he is a private citizen. The relationship he and his siblings have with his father is entirely private, and has nothing to do with his job as governor of Lagos State.

Unless you are claiming that he is using public funds to send his father to the US for medical care, then you have no case.

It isn't your damn business what he and the rest of his father's children do to take care of their father.

His father's health should not be put at stake to prove some r3tarded political point you are trying to prove.

You are an id1ot, a fool, a pinhead, and a simpleton.

Nigerians enjoy playing politics with everything sha

Very hypocritical people.

If you want him to use healthcare in Nigeria for something as serious as his sick father, then shouldn't you "buy Nigerian" for everything?

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

you had better not be using a foreign computer to be typing...you'd better be using one made in Nigeria.

I dunno how you can play politics with somebody's family. It is disgusting.

Or should a man who can afford it not seek the best medical attention in the world he can find for his aged father?

How is this our business?

It is between him and his father.

What a man does to take care of his family and loved ones should not be mixed with politics.

Cake is the one I've heard of.

Delomos, are you a UI guy?

If so, then I'd like to talk to you, get your opinion about a site I'm building.

What is the best way to get in touch with you?

You can do it in any language.

To reduce the amount of hours you spend writing, probably a scripting language would be best. Ruby (on Rails), Python, PHP, etc.

However, the smartest thing to do is to take an existing forum software and customize it for your own purposes.

A lot less time-consuming to learn someone else's code (assuming it is GOOD code at least), than to write your own from scratch.

No point reinventing the wheel.

Vanilla forum I like. Check it out (vanillaforums.org).

Ogbonaikenna: eediot. Then why do you always comment against any pro-biafra thread. Liar like you

I would be surprised if you could find a post that I have made in the past 6 months regarding Biafra.

But the point that you don't seem to be getting is that I am under no obligation to be pro-Biafra.

Your cause, not mine.

Wetin concern me with Biafra?

That is your own cause, not mine

i'm under no obligation to actively support somebody else's cause

If you want to worship the tree in my front yard and that is your religion, I don't have a problem with it.

Live and let live is my approach.

I will have a problem though if your worship of the tree on my land then means that you must blow up my house or something.

I will then call your religion evil, if it requires destroying my life.

passionate88: No... I stayed around yorubas honestly I'm just suprised hearing about liberal or moderate yoruba muslims... They that disown their children just for going to church or marrying christians are now been presented as moderate to us.... I believe there is an element of truth about aregbesola nd his islamic extremism..

I don't think it fair to brand someone a radical because they don't want their Muslim child going to church.

Radicalism is more about:
a) sympathizing with
b) harboring
c) joining Islamic terrorist organizations.

Whole different kettle of fish from being pissed that your son/daughter is attending a church.

Listen, personally, although I think Islam is a crappy religion, I won't deny anyone their right to practice it.

Just don't practice it in a way that messes up the lives of other people.

Calebsky: i have always said that this Boko haram menace is a CIA covert operation. To what purpose, i have not fully understood. Maybe to break up nigeria, and have total control over her resources. All regions of this country are blessed with commercially viable and economic high-value natural resources. This is a grand script in action.

Another person too afraid to confront the truth.
