Business › Re: Is ₦500,000 Monthly Salary Enough To Live Comfortably In Nigeria Today? by equityjake(m): 8:21pm On Sep 16
Angelfrost:
Any Nigerian earning such an amount and not living in comfort is clearly punching far above his financial weight.

That's an income over 70% of working Nigerians can only fantasize about.

Many of you just come online to pretend and needlessly grandstand.
I agree a lot of people pretend online, but let’s we realistic, that amount can’t sustain you in this economy. To have a job that pays 500k, think of the location. It’s most likely Lagos or Abuja. Anyone who lives in Lagos will tell you for free, 500k no carry u anywhere.
My transportation to work monthly alone is 140k, not uber o, I mean Danfo and keke. I stock up kitchen monthly with more than 250k, cus eating out is expensive. Rent is there, you’ll have to save for medical expenses cus you can’t be leaving home daily for whole month and remain completely healthy. Family support too go need come out inside ur 500k. Omo e long jare.

We get very high unemployment rate….

Na to come export employment come be the new format…

Nigeriametrics is real….
I’m not in support of this government, but your comment got me thinking how comprehension differs and how much gap is between reading and comprehension.
If Nigeria has high unemployment rates, won’t it be cool if Nigerians can bag good remote jobs and deals ?? Do you know that your country is opted out from almost every good global opportunities? unless you leave the country, no employer fees comfortable giving you a deal no matter what your track records say.

I know they won’t implement anything though, all these na just campaign strategy for next election.
Science/Technology › Re: My New Freezer Freezes From The Top To The Middle Part by equityjake(m): 11:07pm On Aug 06
You need steady and stable power for it to freeze properly. I use Nexus, it’s always frozen, keeps my meals fresh. I once turn it off and it didn’t defrost in 4 days.
When using a freezer for first time, don’t put anything in it, first let it work and freeze before putting in your stuffs.
Family › Re: Why Government Should Ban DNA Testing Of Minors by equityjake(m): 10:57am On Jul 15
addictiv:
Saying we survived before DNA testing is like saying we survived before blood tests, scans and modern medicine. The fact that people lived without a way of discovering the truth does not mean ignorance was better. So that argument does not make sense.

You are also presenting the DNA test as the thing destroying the family. It is not. The betrayal is what destroyed the family. The test only revealed it.
A happy family built on deception is not truly settled. It is only settled because one person has been denied important information about his own life. You cannot protect a family by protecting a lie and preventing the victim from discovering it.

And what exactly is a DNA fishing expedition? A man confirming whether the children he is raising are biologically his? Women investigate men’s phones, messages, locations and friendships because they want to know whether they are being cheated on. Nobody suggests banning phones so women will not be tempted to discover adultery.

The government cannot not ban the truth to discourage people from finding it. That is simply government protected paternity fraud.

The man saying he has loved, suffered, laughed and bonded with the children, therefore he does not want to know whether they are his. That is his personal choice. Nobody is forcing him to take a test. He is free to remain ignorant.
But he has no right to demand that every other man must also remain ignorant.

And let us reverse the situation. A woman raises a child from pregnancy to adulthood and later discovers that the baby was swapped at the hospital. Will anybody tell her not to investigate because she has already loved and bonded with the child? Will the government ban DNA testing so that she is not tempted to disrupt her happy family? Of course not. People will say she deserves the truth and has the right to know what happened to her biological child.

So why is truth important when a woman’s maternity is questioned, but suddenly dangerous when a man’s paternity is questioned?

Love can make someone a parent, but love does not make deception acceptable. A man may discover that a child is not biologically his and still decide to remain the child’s father because of the bond they share. That would be his informed decision.

But forcing him to continue under a lie is not love. It is fraud. The truth does not destroy families. The actions that made the truth painful are what destroyed them.
Thank you for this explanation. It’s obvious the argument was raised by an unfaithful person trying to gather support and approval. If care is not taken, they will ask that any man that cries or show emotion should be executed. Treating men like they are not humans.

How about they banning women from requesting for divorce based on husband cheating or impregnating someone else outside ? Does it sound good? Very senseless argument the poster is trying to make.

QuinQQ:
Please explain to me HOW you're defrauded. Remember people fight for custody of children tooth and nail. You don't have to do any of that. He's your child and you get ALL the benefits of fatherhood. He carries your name references you as the person who gave him every thing. And if he ever becomes something ALL the glory will go to you as his father.
Please explain to me HOW you're defrauded
If any pregnant woman from nowhere comes out and claims you impregnated her, you automatically becomes the father once the child is born right ?? It’s sad that we have so many people that reasons this way in government. You are so selfish that you so much want to take away the ability of a man to make choices for himself. Why should anyone be forced to raise a child he didn’t father huh I want a logical and clear explanation.

Have you ever read in the holy book that says "after death, comes judgement immediately?

So which spirit lingers within there? U think life is those nollywood you watch?
As long as the body is not buried yet, it’s still connected to the soul. The energy is still there, it only ends when the earth receives it.

All these superstitious beliefs.

The dead are not conscious to know wether you knock before entering or not.
Lol, 😂 relax bro. Things are happening. Even in US they do this too. Not everything is superstitious, the day you’ll encounter the dead, you’ll never remain the same person.
Business › Re: Can Someone Earning 600k Per Month Build A House In Nigeria by equityjake(m): 11:14pm On May 10
franchasng:
600k salary is 7,200,000 naira a year, if you take away all the deductions like Tilumbum tax, health insurance, pension, etc, you might be left with 5,500,000 naira a year.


Remove his transportation cost to and fro work, remove his annual house rent, remove feeding, clothing, utility bills (NEPA, waste, etc), etc and he might struggle to save 3million in a year.

To build a 3 bedroom bungalow now, assuming you have bought land already, will cost you between 30m to 40million depending on your finishing taste.


Now 30million divide by 3million = 10 years, that means it will take him 10 years to complete the building (an ordinary bungalow oh lol).


Now factor in job loss due to retrenchment, illness, family responsibilities, unforseen occurrences, then you will realize that anybody earning 600k salary per month can only build an ordinary bungalow in Nigeria now if he is stealing money from his employer or engaging in all those their usual office corrupt practices that Nigerian employees and civil servants are known for which they call window angry
Thank you for this realistic analysis.

TrainPark:
It is possible. A simple home is srill a home and if one is deligent, that income is very hogh and can build a good house over 3-5years
Please kindly analyze a realistic plan to achieve this in the timeline you stated. Not just making statements, like real calculations to realistically achieve this in 3-5years. Using current pricing and valuation. No land available yet.

Orinechi:
A person collecting such amount can build a comfortable bungalow within 2 year.
The way you people comment sometimes it makes me wonder if you are real people who live in real life and do real things and earn real money. You think we are in 2009 ??
Why is it so hard to realistic online ?
You earn 600k and you think you can build a house in 5 years ? Let alone 2 as you stated. To have a job that pays 600k a month you know what your monthly bills will be like ? Oh you won’t pay rent as you as living under the bridge for the years you’ll be building ? You won’t eat ? To prepare a nice pot of soup that will last days will cost you 10k+!
Small health issue and your savings don drop by half!
I detest unrealistic people so much!

Health › Queen Elizabeth II Tests Positive To Covid 19 by equityjake(op): 10:40pm On Mar 28, 2020
News of the Queen testing positive for COVID-19 does not come as a surprise since there was a possibility that she could have been exposed by the virus during one of her weekly meetings with Prime Minister Boris Johnson who tested positive an hour ago, according to UCR.

Royal Palace confirms Queen Elizabeth tests positive for coronavirus.

Buckingham Palace revealed the monarch held a face-to-face with Mr. Johnson on March 11.

Her health, the palace added, remains good and stable though she has shown mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus.

Business › Bill Gates Overtakes Jeff Bezos As Richest Man In The World by equityjake(op): 4:10am On Nov 16, 2019
On Friday, Gates surpassed Amazon (AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos to reclaim the distinction of richest person in the world, with a net worth of $110 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

It's the first time the co-founder of Microsoft (MSFT) has held the top spot in over two years. He briefly topped Bezos last month after Amazon reported that its profit for the three months ending in September fell nearly 28% from a year earlier. But Gates' time at the top was short-lived

He has regained the lead because Microsoft (MSFT) shares are up nearly 48% this year, which helped boost the value of his stake in the company. In October, Microsoft beat out Amazon for a $10 billion cloud-computing contract with the Pentagon, adding some additional drama to the Gates/Bezos wealth race.

Bezos, who this year paid out a significant portion of his Amazon stake in his divorce from his wife of 25 years MacKenzie Bezos, now sits at second with a net worth of $108.7 billion.

Gates recently commented on his wealth in response to a wealth tax proposed by some Democratic political candidates, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

He said he's paid more than $10 billion in taxes already and it would be fine with him to up that to $20 billion. However, having to pay $100 billion would prompt him to start "to do a little math about what I have left over."
