Thanks to everyone on here, although I came a bit late to the party. I have worked on the site for a month and I got almost $40, this past month. I have been held back by data, my system and light. One account down, the second one almost gone. I hope to do better, this month. I sincerely thank Samsard, Drawnobet, Generationz, Nwafresh and others numerous to mention.

Reading and collecting books are personal choices, not mandatory of compulsory choices.

If it is your portion in life to read and collect books, good for you, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world must share your upside down obsession with Rochas and other people reading and collect books

I don't even get how the man siting in a meeting with his children turned into silly and absurd colomental rubbish about books.

You people need to find something better to worry your heads over instead of dwelling on petty rubbish that doesn't make any sense.

plaindealer:
The fact that you read books doesn't make you a book collector. There's a difference between reading books and book collector.

Bill Gates is not a book collector and he doesn't collect books to sell.

plaindealer:
Is Rochas a book collector or must he be a book collector or there's a law in your hateful and soul that he must be a book collector?

Is Dangote a book collector? Is Bill gates book collector? Is Atiku a book collector?

Illiterate calling other people illiterate.



This is how people hate for the dumbest reasons.. Find something better to do with your life instead of hating and spewing low self esteem and colomentality rubbish all over the place.

Mensah007:
This is basically my greatest fear, living off her goodwill

Mensah007:
I had to open another account to post this.
Me and my gf graduated from the school and are currently serving. I'm serving in Lagos while she is in abuja. She was actually redeployed from a far north state to abuja with money by her parents.
We re both in our mid 20s, We love each other so much and would like to marry asap if money comes. After we graduated from Uniben, she persuaded me to go over with her to abuja and search for greener pasture, i made frantic calls in attempts to secure a place to squat over there but to no avail, I had no relatives there and d few friends I have there aren't that close. I later had to go over to Lagos to hustle because i have a few relatives there. Even while i was in Lagos she was still insisting i come over to abuja, reasons that abuja is a more lucrative city. I truly agree to that fact but i seriously have nobody to squat with and I have nobody at all in abuja, not even been to abuja before.
At a time she managed to convince one of her mum's sales boys to take me in in his room but the guy disappointed at the last minute so I had to stay back.

Nysc came, I'm serving in Lagos, she was posted to Kebbi and later redeployed to Abuja. While in camp too, I tried redeploying to abuja on health grounds but I was redeployed bk to Edo state so i had to cancel the application and stay bk. She has been hampering that i redeploy to Abuja but i don't have the 50k fee to pay.

I'm now in Lagos serving in a school, during the holidays i always go out to look for a good job or a good hustle to do. I wasted transport fares and stress attending interviews daily and meeting people but nothing came out yet. Though i did one gig BA job and im yet to get paid. She is still insisting im lazy nd wasting away in Lagos nd i should come over to Abuja. I would like to add that I saw myself thru school with supports from my parents so I'm not lazy. One regret I have is that the hustles i did in uniben are not long term and can't be moved to Lagos. My plan is to find a good job or good hustle and ghost nysc . Im also looking forward to saving to buy a good laptop and starting online business because i have learnt a lot on Nairaland although saving 80k from 19,800 salary might take time.

I have managed to secure a room in a flat where im staying currently, I have resigned myself to be teaching in my ppa for the meantime and still be looking out . She recently became more persistent about the abuja move and gave me few days to come over or forget about her. She initially proposed to pay 50k for d relocation lobbying but relocation for my batch isn't possible until October ending. She however insist i must be in abuja this Saturday.
I have been thinking about this all week, i don't know anybody in abuja, I don't have accommodation there, how do i do my clearance in Lagos if I move, I don't even have money so I will live off her benevolence till I find something doing. Had it been i have a sure hustle/job to take up in abuja, i can make the sacrifice and leave my apartment in Lagos here. I'm just confused.
I need advice please

Mariangeles:
No, it is not fine to hire an elderly woman to do your wife's duty .
She'll let go completely .

Saao:
I think that is fine, thanks

Saao:
divorce? No it's against my faith and don't want my Kid to be without her mum.

GrabHisBalls:
Before you tie the knot with your supposed wife, pay her a surprise visit if you're the type who can't deal with dirt. Clothe dey cover plenty things. I've seen a girl of just 19 yrs of age use a pot with soot for 3 months. All she does is wash inside. You could make a mental picture of what her surrounding would look like, but she slays while going out.

It's easier to manage a dirty man than a dirty woman.

You won't be this laughing, when you're getting sizzling roasted in the lake of fire, if you don't wisely repent.

MBAISE777:
A friend who recently secured a job in a bank here in Lagos told me he relied on power of Juju to : a). Make his job application accepted at first submission. b). Called up for an interview and c). Secure the job where he has just received his second salary. I found it hard to believe but because of the saying "everything is possible in Nigeria", I find it pertinent to ask my fellow Nairalanders. Is it possible?

yea its him

HeliosHay:
If anybody gives you fake tax ids to use..use at your own risk.

People have had their accounts terminated for that when Amazon found out.

eliok:
i can help you remove the withholden tax

HeliosHay:
People seem to be getting this confused so I'll try and clear this up.

When you publish on Amazon KDP you have a choice to earn 70% royalty or 35% royalty. How much royalty you earn with kindle books depend on the price of your book. If its between $2.99 and $9.99 then you earn 70%. Anything outside of that range and you earn 35%.

Now let's assume that you price your book to earn 70% royalty and the cumulative sum you earn in a month is $1000 (70% of total sales)

If you publish from a country that doesn't have tax treaty with the USA, then Amazon will take out 30% for withholding tax

So you will have $700 paid into your Payoneer account

You get $700.

JSnw:
Fixed. Real men don't work on a public holiday, they make their mothers curse the day they were born just like me JSnw. Next....

HeliosHay:
Nigerians (publishing from Nigeria) can only pay 30% tax maximum because Nigeria doesn't have a tax treaty with the USA.

HeliosHay:
There's no clear advantage anyone in Nigeria can't overcome.. apart from the 24/7 light.

I live in both Nigeria and the UK.

Publishing is an online business...as long as you have access to internet you can do your thing.

Worst case scenario, I spend more on data and generator fuel when I'm in Nigeria

JSnw:
Fixed, next...
