There is no lock-down in Abuja. I doubt the credibility of the news.

Dude, you're highly insecure, and that's why she will go. What sotta response were you expecting - that she will die for you? C'mon guy, brace up and be a man. .

I guess you have never met acutely stingy men that are even stingy to themselves too, or thirsty and insatiable babes that are never content. At no point should you generalize.

So, if someone is declared a suspect, it means the law has caught up with him? Your caption doesn't do justice to the content.

pictures and location pls.

Location please

800k?

Motorguru, you are doing a great job here. well-done. More fire to ur burner.
Pls, I'm aboit to own my first car woth a budget of 700k to 800k. Someone offered Honda EOD to me @800k, but I've heard negative stories about Honda ball joint pull.
Looking @ my budget, which cars would u recommend that have minimal issues. Is the EOD 005/004 okay?

Thanks bro.

I need an advice on a good Nigerian used car that a budget of 700k to 800k max could get. I'm in Abuja.

Sir Gazzuzz, please advise me on a good Nigerian used ride a starter can get for 700 to 800k. I had Honda Accord 2005 in mind but was seriously dissuaded.

She was obviously heartbroken

Rape is forceful sexual intercourse without consent or approval by the other party. A man forcing his wife for sex Is still rape. She can get hurt or bruised during the forceful action as such, it can be reported. That our law enforcement are stupid doesn't mean the law is. I've seen a married man arrested for this in Lagos. The wife reported him.

Armed robbery is obtaining money forcefully using a weapon such as Gun or Knife. A wife who doesn't use a gun or knife to get money from her husband is not perpetrating Armed robbery.

Thanks

My dear, it's not about how you define it or your seeing a married man arrested for whatever reason. The truth is that our penal code, criminal code and other allied laws are very restrictive in their definition of rape. It has nothing to do with our law enforcement authorities.
Have you ever seen a man convicted for raping his wife in Nigeria? A man can be convicted for assaulting his wife (sexually or otherwise) and not for raping her. It cannot happen unless the law is repealed. Irrespective of how we both see it, law is what it is until repealed. There are other things about our laws you may argue against, eg. It's not an offence recognised by Nig. laws to sleep with someone's wife/husband. It's not rape when a man is forcefully penetrated anally by another man. It can come under some other offences but not rape.

There is a grave difference btwn law as it is and law as it ought to be.

I thought you wanted to ask a question instead of advancing an argument.
For knowledge sake, rape is impossible to occur in marriage, the same way a man is incapable of being raped by Nigerian laws. Except the law changes, what we call rape sometimes could only pass as assault, defilement (for persons under a certain age) etc.

That is salary. 13th month shoulder not be referred to as salary. Its like a bonus ans not taxable.

Bonuses, allowances and benefits are all taxable. See section 3 (b) Personal Income Tax Act.

praxs:
Can I have reference? I could be wrong but I thought bonuses are exempted from tax

Section 3 (b) of Personal Income Tax Act provides that "any salary, wage, fee, allowance or other gain or profit from employment including compensations, bonuses, premiums, benefits..." are taxable. 13th month is taxable but some organizations don't remit taxes on it.

Section 3 (a) & (b) of Personal Income Tax Act - INCOME CHARGEABLE - "gain or profit from any trade, business, profession or vocation... (b) any salary, wage, fee, allowance or other gain or profit from employment including compensations, bonuses, premiums, benefits..."

@OP, I hope the above cited answers your question. 13th month whether a gift, bonus or allowance is taxable.

Bigsteveg:
13th month salary is not taxable, i also receive same from my company every year and its paid in full. 13th month is a bonus, that is why some companies dont pay it

Bro, it's taxable according to the Nigerian Law (Personal Income Tax Act). However, so many organizations don't pay tax on it. In fact, some organizations don't pay tax on the total salary which is why some of them have two salary accounts; one for upfronts, another for end of the month. They remit only on the end of the month's salary.

I was in your shoe. My babe (now ex) wanted to get married at all cost. Early this year, she told me that she must get married this year. She knows how much I earn which to me cannot afford the basic type of life I want for me and my family. She was ready to manage, but I knew the pressure would be too much on me. Finally, I had to let her go, and now she is set to marry sm1 else while I am fully in support.
Bro, first put yourself in the girl's shoes. Marriage is what she really desires now and evidently you cannot afford same. The juice is not affording the wedding but taking care of your family needs as a man since you ought not to rely on your woman's earnings. There is no such thing as a perfect match. There will always be a better option. Leave the innocent girl to go. Alternatively, you can discuss with the lady putting your fears on the table. If she is willing to deal, then you can devise a way out together.

Guy you too stingy oo. You no even try post part of the content. I'll click when my mother's virginity status is confirmed positive.

The unnecessary details makes your story seem more untrue.
However, for one in such circumstance, the best approach is to tell your husband and to further report to the police. Any other approach may result to total loss of trust by the husband when the chips are finally down.

Class of people you associate with says a lot about your worth.

Lastanza:
Very interesting question for all of us to reason out. Like as said above, how many months of one's salary should actually foot the bill of the annual rent. One month?, two months? etc.
How many percent of one's monthly salary or income should be appropriate for rent.

The self employed folks are not left out. You should know how much you earn in a month and it's rent percentage.

I'm planning on renting a house soonest and would like to get objective and experienced advice.

Is it not better to use percentage of the income left after removing all recurrent expenses like feeding, transport, home running, etc. This is because you pay your rent from what is left after those expenses. Some people's rent could be 10% of their salary and 70% of their take-home after the above is factored.

My annual rent is 8% of my annual salary net of taxes and statutory contributions, and 24% of my annual salary net of all other recurrent expenses.

Some dumb sh!t up there. When does producing a president translate to development? Ask the northerners. The only thing the Igbo's need is just a safe clime... safe for business, safe for living, safety against oppression etc.
