Basicend: Right bro. . PDP is rotten corrupt. . But I don't like Tinubu either. So sad for Nigeria. .
Right!
Tinubu is a crook!
But if I have to choose between two crooks, I would rather pick a crook that I have seen a bit of delivery from (Tinubu), than a bastard crook that did nothing but enrich himself (Atiku).
I know foolish Nigerians would only pick from these 2 anyway.
Ocholu: So today, I was catching up with my buddies when this topic came up. We analyzed it critically with everybody giving his/her own opinions.
I found out that, man! A woman can easily and quickly forgive a man who cheated on her than a man to do so.
Some of my buddies opined that men are polygamous in nature hence, the natural exception. I find their assertions quite disturbing. Because if a woman can forgive and accept back a man who cheated on her, so should a man.
A lady who was with us also said that even though men are the ones who cheat the most, when a woman cheats; all hell let loose. But if it's a man, no noise is heard. Why so??
The other dude was like, if his woman cheats, he'd forgive and accept her. But it's just for the fun of it. That he won't take her serious again.
So in the end, men cheating is somehow normal and acceptable. But a woman's own is a sacrilege and abomination.
It's the double standard for me.
Mods, help propel to FP abeg. Make person get wider opinions.
So what if it is double standard?
Do men and women face the same challenges and requirements in dating?
This is as silly as saying giving a higher tax rate to rich people and lower tax rate to poor people is wrong because it is double standard.
kristen12: Your government is responsible for their ineffectiveness, hold them responsible.
Yes.
My point is that your Jesus is just useless at stopping them or making an impact, so stop wasting your time praying to him and professing he is the answer. He is useless.
osazsky: better than alah who tells worshipers to fight for him with d promise of 7 sharp virgings with standing boobs and antiest who believe thier dads where apes and monkeys..no need to talk abt jw for now those ones are d most confused set of people on earth. .u must fall into one of the 3 sir
I don't fall inside on of the 3 because I am not born stupid.
E be like say na UK you dey, make I come chop Amala
Oga patapata, you no dey live for London and dey take home £4,500 per month.
Take home o! Not gross! And you come they live for Kidderminster.
Average take home pay in where you live is about £1,720 per month. You are in the top 1% of earners in that town.
Your cost of living will be so affordable. I am sure that £1,000 rent is getting you a 3 bedroom apartment. Na "face me, I face you" e go get you for London.
That is like someone taking home N500K a month in Nigeria and come dey live for Ikire!
You be local Baale of Kidderminster then.
You no suppose dey talk na. You are not ordinary and don't represent average persin for UK.
adecz: In the UK ⏩You enjoy good roads ⏩Steady electrify ⏩Good security, no herdsmen, BH, Unknown gunmen. ⏩You travel anytime without fear of kidnap. ⏩Affordable food ⏩Free education for your kids ⏩Government housing if eligible ⏩Social welfare if eligible. ⏩Steady water supply ( no borehole)
And many other intangible benefits, but you don't want to pay tax.
LThat is a welfare society and they fund it with relatively high tax. If you no like am, then return and face bandits here.
Na your type dey bypass NEPA meter & dodge paying contribution for maiguard etc. ❌❌�
You are so unintelligent, you could not even comprehend what I was criticising in your post.
Jondelng: After making ten times the pay, everything you buy is 10 times the cost. The only differnece is, there is security and things are planned and nobody will owe you, you can plan yourself well, but it is also very risky, because maybe person sick now, no go work for 1 month, or e get accident, e don finish be dat. E turn homeless, bankless, jobless…
Babaire: Yes we do. I earn £4,500 after tax, I don't pay children school fee, neither do I pay hospital bill even for myself. My rent is £1,000 a month.
Between, why convert to Naira in the first place. Was he paid in Naira.
Cloud007: don't mind OP oh...you make around £2000 every month with £700 for rent for 2 bed. Bills with food is extra 300 every month. You still get to save almost a thousand pounds every month. Can you do it in Nigeria? Now if you are with family...you might be making around 3,500 in a Month with your spouse. You might be saving about 2000 a Month. All this, is the least you can get from UK economy when you earn the basic minimum income. Now when you got a good job. The rest they say is history....
You have obviously never left Nigeria.
What about council tax?
What about transportation?
If you are paying £700 for renting 2 bed flat, you are OBVIOUSLY not living in London.
So, it if you are not living in London, that means your council tax would be even much higher as London has the lowest council tax rates.
So, you di not factor the £130 per month he would have to pay for council tax?
What about the bus, rail and/car expenses?
If he does not live in London and wants to eat his African food, how much would it cost him? It would even be more expensive than the cost in London.
Have you ever bought a 1kg bag of garri for N3,000 before? And 4kg bag of beans for N10,000?
You forgot to deduct those pesky half an hour lunch breaks .
They just calculate 10 * 40 and boom , you're a millionaire
Dem no know say wetin you go get from "the abroad" better than Naija na opportunities, quality, hope, comfort and security. Not cheap life and huge savings. You pay for all the benefits.
fykes: Also tell us that in a month, an average unschooled labourer in UK makes around 1.5m
You are indeed ignorant about "the abroad".
The average unschooled labourer does not make N1.5m; it is less than that. But let's indulge you.
Lets say the average labourer does make N1.5m. By the time he pays taxes, national insurance and pension contributions, about 22% would have gone out of it. Leaving N1.17m.
Now considering you chose to claim a very high average, that means this labourer is likely to be "labouring" in London to earn such wages. That means the upper limit of those rent figures would apply to the labourer if he wants to live in a 2 bedroom apartment, as London is the most expensive place to live. So that is N975,000 per month.
Now that leaves him with how much after he pays this rent? N195,000.
If that N195,000 per month even good enough to live Western life in Lagos? Talk less of London.
In London, he would still have to pay council tax first of about N48K per month and then face BUS transport bills that are N900 to get on for one journey (i.e. one way) anytime he goes out.
dejol88: Some of you will abuse one politician and applaud the other because of your personal preference, no be juju be that.
How supposedly youth of today support a tinubu with questionable wealth still surprises me. Today's youth are the enablers of this old man stealing for their lineage without a single benefit to you and me.
Aidejay: Nice! WEMA bank doing well, it's on Nairaland I heard Afonja banks for the first time in my life. To tell you how tribalism has wrecked some people's brain cells. Gamesmart, Elemosho487
Don't mind the tribalistic iidiot said it was "half-dead".
The criminal that was looting Nigeria and hiding Senate budget of sharing billions to Senators, all of a sudden, wants to tell us he "was acting in national interest".
Saraki, e no go better for you, your father and your entire lineage!
BRATISLAVA: If there's no evidence that he was abusive, why is he pursuing revenge after his first loss?
Especially after lying that she punched him in the eye. Conveniently.
He's a good guy. He's never done anything wrong to her, not even when high. She ought to have carried a camera with her all over the place. She's a liar. She's a thief of her own divorce proceeds. Remind me of anyone I've forgotten.
