seborrhic: What's your fu cking concern with the joblessness of the wife. You own house in Lekki and no one would hear word again. Do u know why the wife is jobless & has the husband come to complain to u?Do u know if she has a health condition that will make working difficult for her or if she has been trying to secure a job without success? F ucking landlord priving into the private lives of his tenant! If the water consumption is the issue take it up with the husband.You have concluded it's the wife's joblessness that is the reason she is using the bathtub excessively. At worst you give them quit notice and get a tenant that would use the bathtub once a week!!
davien: Which gender in the nation is all over social media doing everything but work?? Who's twerking daily on TikTok? Who's doing live videos 7 days a week? Who're in those beer parlors entertaining those lazy men? Who rewards thugs and hooligans?
This is just a click bait thread.
ofcos that goes without saying there are more Men in work than women. Last time I check we have more girls twerking on line like you rightly said.
Jovialjune1: It's your lack of comprehension skills for me, how you are able twist a growing concern to attacking the Op for pointing out the basic truth cannot be good for your brain.
How do you get to the conclusion that its the truth, The OP barely made a statement based on suggestion so its not absolute..
chimpad: You're rich and are better off in Nigeria. The abroad is a mad system. You make money, but the system is designed to take almost everything. For instance you said it's bliss to make money in dollars. It's not the same feeling for someone resident abroad. In the US, the Govt takes up to 40% of your crypto earnings. You have to declare that on your 1099. I guess in Nigeria you probably got away with no taxes asides the one you paid during the transactions. Taxes, taxes you will share all your earnings with the govt, pay high bills and insurance! There isn't anything superb about being abroad if you are making good money in Nigeria.
Security? Peace of mind? System that works? You have to pay heavily in Nigeria to have all those.
Selfkontrol: Good day Nairalanders. Pls I need some mature advice because I’ve been in a dilemma for a long time now concerning relocating abroad or staying back in Nigeria. First of all I’m not a japa advocate. I believe if you’re doing well in Nigeria then there’s no point relocating abroad but I feel there’s so much uncertainty and I don’t know what the future holds for me in this country.
Now I’m a married man of 30 years. I will turn 31 by this September. We have no child yet but wife is preg now. I have a B.Eng in petroleum Engineering but have never worked in my life. My current business is crypto trading which I have been doing for years now. During the 2021 crypto bull run I made lot of money and acquired some properties that’s currently valued atleast 60-70m naira in total. bought my car same year and got married same year to my long time Gf, settled some family members etc . I don’t have any other investments or business aside my properties and crypto portfolio because crypto trading has taken all my time and I won’t complain because so far it has been good. Making money in dollars while in Nigeria is bliss. Even though we have been in bear season since 2022, I still make some money every now and then that’s sustainable for now until we hit another bull run which is likely to happen from next year 2024.
My fear lies here, on the long run crypto trading is not sustainable. If not for 2021 bull run I don’t think I would be in this position and even the projected bull run next year is not 100% certain
I plan on learning a programming skill which is very difficult, I tried learning it late last year but stopped along the line because it was distracting me from trading and missing some opportunities in crypto because making money is most important. Coding would probably take me a few years before I start earning even though it is sustainable long term but crypto trading can be life changing but not sustainable long term . It’s more like a gamble most times.
My plan A, is to gather enough money from now till 2025 which is the duration of the projected bull run if it happens and start investing in real estate development, Like building and selling and other businesses too but I don’t know how feasible that is in our present day Nigeria and if I don’t make my target amount, I might have to start with the available resources present.
plan B, gather some money, learn a skill then relocate to Canada with my family via study route since I don’t have any real work experience aside crypto trading but that would mean me going to study and starting afresh.
For my wife, she also has a degree in Human Resources with just nysc as working experience. She learnt wig making and installation and has been doing her online biz selling wigs etc.
Abroad folks, what are my chances abroad considering my current profile. Is it worth it coming over there to start afresh And build? I have heard so many things how it’s hard getting a job and you have to rely on survival jobs for the first few years expecially for someone without any work experience.
I really don’t like joining the bandwagon cos everyone seems to be leaving, I love to weigh my options and hate taking unnecessary risk that might lead to regrets, at the same time don’t want to regret not leaving since I’m still young and have the opportunity that’s why I’m here asking these questions to learn from experienced and matured family men home and abroad the action they would take. We learn everyday,
For my unborn kids, if everything checks out, my plan is to give birth to them in either Canada or US for the passport and raise them in Nigeria and when they are grown, send them to study there and that is only if I’m not relocating. And if I’m relocating, what are the in-demand skills and professions I have to take since it’s clear I might be going to school because I hate survival jobs. What is your advice pls. Mature advice pls. Thank you 🙏 @justwise @Disguy
The answer is steering at you i n the face, if you got the means to relocate do so ASAP, do not let no man deceive you. Sake of your kids as well.Abroad is not all about money, you lern skills,ideas and have opportunities that are alien to us in nigeria.
StagethemTVee: Burna Boy’s mum supporting and motivating her son by dancing to his music while he is performing on his recent tour. She is truly an inspiration to him and what an amazing mum and manager.
Agertha: Saw this news earlier today. Must give credit to their security agencies on swift response. However, until they stop granting asylum to Islamic terrorists, this will continue to happen
The guy is lucky, the UK police do not entertain this stupidity no more, the guy would have been lit instantly
nairalanda1: Amnot a Gej supporter, let's start from there
But to answer your question
1. Crude oil was between[b] 90 to 130 d[/b]ollars under GEJ and this had a knock on effect on cost of refining petrol AND cost of subsidies.
And the crude prices were so high that by 2013 subsidy could not cover the loss sustained from selling petrol at subsidy price.
2. Multiplicity of importers. Part of the subsidy costs went to them. Buhari cut costs by making nnpc the sole importer in 2016.
3. Smuggling too increased the costs.
There are good reasons why GEJ should have ended subsidy in 2012. But as we know he chose to listen to Nigerians and did parrial removal. Which reduced the costs.
4. Buhari spent less because crude was between 20 to 80 dollars under his regime. Subsidy costs fell. At one point crude oil prices were very low to render subsidy non existent as seen in 2020. Also, Buhari did far more partial removals of subsidies than GEJ. And as mentioned earlier he made NNPC the sole importer
Have you asked yourself howmuch crude oil was for the last three years? if the price of oil was very high removing subsidy would be deemed death?I think once the electricity is fixed, the Biz of petrol would bw left to the motorist.
KingKO22: I see PMS price depreciating any moment from now especially when there is competition among importers
BAT has done remarkably well within short period of time in office
I never regret voting and canvassing for you
Reduce to what, if you are thinking its going to be less than N500 you must rethink, Have a think from what country on this earth can you land petrol from into Nigeria @ N400?
Mikenikel: Hello, my asking is to have a guideline or timeframe. People have gotten theirs at different times. So my asking doesn't depict whether I have or haven't contacted a lawyer. The person I contacted was saying I can't get it in a month or two months. SO MY ASKING WASN'T OUT OF LINE. Thanks
Calm down its not that harsh yet to emerge into typing in capitals, I responded without looking at the amount in question
Celebrityblog: The Bad Things Experienced Working At Nigerian Correctional Service
Having worked at the Nigerian Correctional Service for sever years, I have noticed a lot of evil happening there which need the attention of the whole Nigeria and the presidency.
I will briefly highlight some of them here. Pls, if you have also experienced anything similar, kindly drop your comments.
Some of the bad things happening at the Nigerian Correctional Service include:
1. Poor working condition
2. Non implementation of harmonization of salary and rank with the Nigerian Police
3. Staff buying their official uniforms
4. Non payment of promotion arrears and other allowances
5. Irregularities in staff promotions
6. Non consideration of staff welfare
7. Under payment of promotion arrears, even when they decide to pay
8 A police inspector earns more than someone who is on the same rank with an assistant controller of corrections
None of your list contains anything to do with the welfare of the inmates.
Ndipe: Black people have suffered in this world. A caucasian will migrate to just about any African country and be regarded as an "expatriate." But a black who moves to the West is branded an immigrant or an alien. The ones who plundered Africa centuries ago were not regarded as illegal immigrants despite the atrocities they wrecked on our continent.
The problems with you lot is throwing big words around, who told you black people are not regarded as expert abroad? if o ne goes anywhere with a specialist skill you will be called an expert irrespective of your race or colour.
who ever was doing the video could see that those persons are homeless and not well. There loads of Nigerians doing well and living i n much better places. There is homelessness everywhere you go USA UK Canada, Bot the man and the woman are 50/50. they aint well.
Mikenikel: .. I appreciate the response. Thanks so much
I have gone from ur ppost frm page one.I do t think the bank will freeze the account.This will only happen if the beneficiary has refused to refund the money whilst contacted..In my case I managed to get his phone number.we rang him and he clearly said No and it was 500k
Yourstruly491: You dont get it by negotiations like affidavits. You approach a lawyer who files a motion before a proper court and the court makes an order for the said funds to be reversed into your account. It is the order collected that would be taken to be bank which the legal unit of the bank would work on and reverse your money
chidiokay: The competition will only start when private investors get there license and have stock for distribution. The present stock in the country was distributed solely by NNPC that was why they got away with regulating the price.
The way we depend on PMS in these country i am afraid competition won't do much, what can really drive PMS price down is low demand, Nigerians need alternatives, a stable power supply, trains and electric buses for a start will go a long way to cut PMS wings. In UK & other developed world you live ueats and not see petrol eye to eye. my friend in UK told me yesterday since he got to UK he as not seen petrol, these is someone that as he returning from he must carry keg to go buy fuel
What you said up there was what I was referring to wen somone say we dey use teary eye respond!
Steverolly: I've noticed the way I lose interest in girls that have lots of male friends, like it's a red flag for me. I don't know if it's insecurity or whatever but I'm very good looking, in fact I don't even approach girls, they approach me. I've also met a lot of great girls but once I notice they have a lot male friends or they Relate so much with guys I just lose interest. Is this normal or it's just me?
mastermaestro: What about cooking gas and diesel? Everyone has moved on those two equally critical issues. Availability will dwarf all these survival concerns most of you are expressing with teary eyes.
All the major political players in the last presidential election agreed that it was no longer feasible to keep such a humongous wagebill. So what's the fuss about now? Jonathan and Buhari were too cowardly to yank it off. Here is a man with balls getting rid of the monster. The removal will bite but it won't kill.
Petrol increased every year despite the subsidy. Should we continue in this economic confusion? You have no idea what the debt burden of Nigeria is presently. You want to keep borrowing to subsidize petroleum products for Benin, Chad and Niger?
I don't know if you live i n NIgeria or not but I will telly you this, Diesel has been Deregulated for almost 10 years. However, the price rose as a result of closure of three major refineries in South Africa, ask yourself who own them. Hats a case for another day. Now ask yourself again what policies the government put in place to compensate for this drastic action that is going to drive domestic price sky high. In the Uk if I am a transporter, Fuel bills add to my running cost which at every end of tax year I claim via tax return. My property which I rent out of all bills inclusive, I put the gas+Electricity+water bills TV licence bills as running cost and claim it back as tax return. You are here claiming teary eye, someone travelled from Bening to Lagos and spent almost 24K on Transport. Now how about that people who live in Lagos who already spend40K as monthly transport to and fro work they are going to spend X3.Look I don't live in NIgeria by any means but this is going to affect all works of life in that country and I see riot coming soon. Outright stoppage was not the solution rather tackling the corruption i n it.There is shyte load of subsidy regimes in the UK but the corruption in it is nai.
mastermaestro: Oga the shit keeps growing every year because of inflation. Let the removal be total for once! Enough of cowardly policies. Sitting on the fence does not bring about development. Subsided petroleum products make their way to neighboring countries at the expense of Nigeria. How long should we continue to feed the monster? You guys should stop crying. Subsidy is gone! Say goodbye to it and be at peace with reality.
DO you think we can survive on N500/;tre petrol regime?
