Facilities and amenities. You cannot compare a 2 bed in Abijan to what you have in Lagos. Just do a little google search. xxxx999jon:House Rent In Lagos Fourth Most Expensive In Africa— Report ...Abidjan's rent is higher than Lagos due to a chronic shortage of quality housing, high construction costs, and a massive influx of expatriates and international organizations. While Lagos has a larger population, Abidjan’s smaller, concentrated, and rapidly developing luxury market often leads to higher premium rental costs in top areas. Key factors contributing to higher rents in Abidjan include: Limited High-End Supply: Compared to the demand, there is a limited supply of modern, luxury apartments in premium areas, pushing prices up. High Development Costs: The cost of building materials, land, and labor is exceptionally high, which developers pass on to tenants. Expatriate Demand: Abidjan is a major regional hub for international organizations and businesses, attracting a high-income expat population that drives up rent for luxury housing. Infrastructure Growth: Similar to Lagos, Abidjan is experiencing rapid urban development, but a faster pace of economic transformation in select areas has increased the cost of living. |

Visit Lagos State censor board. A research in 2024 says over 8 million come to Lagos daily via air, road, sea and through the borders from neighboring countries, the report did state the % that stay and do not return to their base. I bet you over 500,000 never return back to their base. Believeintruth: |

There was this guy, Tunde, who spent years manifesting a remote job. Every morning he’d tweet, “Remote work will locate me,” like it was a lost wallet. He took courses, optimized his LinkedIn, and even practiced saying “You’re on mute” in front of the mirror. Finally—boom!—he got a fully remote job with a foreign company. Dollar-paying. Slack access. Welcome email and everything. Tunde almost cried. Remote work had finally located him. But remote work did not locate NEPA. On his first day, five minutes into onboarding, NEPA struck. Generator came on sounding like a tractor fighting for its life. During stand-up meetings, his mic picked up the generator, his neighbor frying akara, and a rooster that clearly had opinions about Agile methodology. Then came the internet. If rain thought about falling, his connection disappeared. He’d freeze on Zoom with his mouth open, looking like he was passionately arguing… while actually gone for three minutes. To make matters worse, Tunde didn’t have a noise-cancelling headset. So one day, while the CEO was explaining quarterly goals, his mother shouted from the background: “TUNDE! HAVE YOU WASHED THE PLATE?!” Silence on the call. The CEO: “Uh… is everything okay over there?” Tunde smiled confidently. “Yes, just… uh… local notifications.” After several “local notifications,” missed deadlines caused by NEPA, and one unforgettable meeting where a generator drowned out the entire team, HR sent the email. “We love your enthusiasm, but we’re going in a different direction." Tunde lost the job—but gained wisdom. Today, he has three things before applying for another remote role: 1. Stable internet 2. Backup power 3. Noise-cancelling headset Because remote work is not just about skills. It’s about surviving NEPA, network, and noise. 😭😂 Leke is a writer, lecturer and founder of El-Johnson Academy

Olusaha:Can you work remotely? Let me know |
I’m really glad you reached out. What you wrote sounds exhausting, frightening, and lonely—and it also sounds like you want your life back. That matters a lot. First, let me say this clearly: you are not cursed, possessed, or beyond help. What you’re describing fits very closely with compulsive sexual behavior (sometimes called sex addiction or hypersexual disorder). It’s a real condition that affects the brain’s reward and impulse systems—very similar to substance addiction. That’s why it feels reflexive, urgent, and almost automatic, even when you know it’s destroying your health, finances, and peace. None of this means you are weak or immoral. It means your brain has learned a powerful habit loop over many years, and right now it’s running unchecked. --- A few important truths (please read slowly) 1. This is not about sex drive alone If it were just “high libido,” you wouldn’t feel loss of control, shame, debt, weight loss, or desperation. This is about: Dopamine dysregulation Compulsion and relief-seeking Escaping discomfort, stress, emptiness, or anxiety 2. Willpower alone will not fix this You already proved that. Resolutions, religious guilt, or “trying harder” tend to fail because the behavior isn’t happening at the level of conscious choice anymore. 3. There are treatments that help The pharmacist wasn’t wrong to hesitate—but not because help doesn’t exist. It’s because this needs a doctor + therapist, not over-the-counter meds. --- About medication (important and honest) There is no safe medication that simply “kills” sex drive permanently without serious consequences. However, under a doctor’s care, some medications can reduce compulsive urges: SSRIs (used for OCD and impulse disorders) Naltrexone (used for addictions, helps reduce urges and compulsive reward-seeking) These are not magic, but for many people they create enough mental space to regain control when combined with therapy. ⚠️ Please do not self-medicate or look for underground solutions. That can make things far worse. --- What you need is a 3-part reset (realistic, not idealistic) 1. Immediate damage control (next 24–72 hours) You already know Sundays are dangerous. So don’t treat tomorrow like a “test of strength.” Do this instead: Stay physically away from known brothel areas Be around people or public spaces (even a café, mall, long walk) Remove easy access to money if possible (transfer funds, give cash to someone you trust, uninstall loan apps temporarily) Sleep. Eat. Dehydration and exhaustion increase compulsions This isn’t cowardice—it’s strategy. --- 2. Professional help (non-negotiable) You need: A psychiatrist or medical doctor (for assessment + possible medication) A therapist experienced in addiction or compulsive sexual behavior If you say to a professional: > “I have compulsive sexual behavior that is out of control, causing financial and health harm. I need help.” That is enough. You don’t need to be eloquent. If money is an issue, there are often: Public hospitals Teaching hospitals NGOs Faith-based counseling centers (the healthy ones, not shame-based) --- 3. Community support (this is huge) People recover from this faster and more sustainably when they are not alone. You may want to look into: Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) These are anonymous, free, and full of people who sound exactly like you. Many meetings are online if privacy matters. A hard but hopeful truth Your brain has been trained for years to associate relief, excitement, and escape with this behavior. Brains can be retrained. Neuroplasticity is real—but it takes structure, support, and time. You are not broken. You are not beyond repair. And this does not have to define the rest of your life. I’m here with you. You don’t have to fight this alone. KiNg0G: |

realmarkanthony:Would you be interested in internship |
Good morning, fellow investors, I currently have N400k available and am looking to invest in a stock (or a small basket of stocks) that could deliver reasonable gains within the next 12 months. I’d really appreciate insights from experienced investors on: Sectors or stocks you believe have solid upside over the next year Whether it makes sense to deploy capital now or wait for a potential bear market / pullback before buying Any risk-management strategies you’d recommend for a 1-year time horizon I understand there are no guarantees and I’m doing my own research—just looking to hear different perspectives. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and guidance. |

Tax Compliance in Nigeria: A Structural Incentive Problem One of the most significant challenges facing taxation in Nigeria—particularly voluntary compliance—is the absence of meaningful incentives for taxpayers. In functional tax systems, compliance is reinforced by visible public benefits. In Nigeria, however, most citizens and businesses privately provide what taxes are ordinarily meant to fund: Electricity: Businesses and households generate power independently through generators or solar solutions. Water: Most Nigerians drill boreholes or purchase water privately. Infrastructure: Roads, drainage, and waste management are largely inadequate or privately funded. Healthcare: Over 95% of citizens lack effective health insurance, and public hospitals are poorly equipped to handle anything beyond basic ailments. Security: Individuals and businesses increasingly rely on private security arrangements. Governance: Persistent corruption and mismanagement undermine confidence that tax revenues are used for public good. While a 30% corporate tax rate may appear competitive when benchmarked against developed economies, Nigeria itself is not competitive in terms of public service delivery. Tax rates cannot be evaluated in isolation; they must be assessed relative to the value of citizenship and the quality of state-provided services. In practice, there is little tangible benefit to citizenship that justifies such a tax burden. The Compliance Dilemma for Professionals As accountants and tax practitioners, we are positioned as agents of compliance. This role becomes ethically and professionally uncomfortable when compliance cannot be defended on substantive grounds. In my experience as an accountant in the private sector, even business owners who were financially capable—and who paid taxes in jurisdictions like the United States—often asked a simple question: “Why should I comply in Nigeria?” The honest answer was usually limited to: - Avoidance of penalties - Avoidance of audits and enforcement actions - Beyond that, there were few credible arguments. Convincing a business owner who funds 24/7 power, water, security, and healthcare out-of-pocket, or an employee paying PAYE in an environment of high inflation, limited healthcare access, and declining living standards that taxation is “beneficial” is increasingly difficult to justify. Comparative Framing Is Misleading Comparisons between Nigeria and countries like the UK are fundamentally flawed. In the UK: - Healthcare is universal - Electricity is stable - Waste disposal is handled by local councils - Security and infrastructure are reliable - Inflation is relatively controlled A 30% tax rate in such an environment funds services that citizens tangibly experience. Applying similar rates in Nigeria without equivalent service delivery ignores critical economic and institutional realities. Reform, Resistance, and Reality Opposition to recent tax reforms by firms like KPMG and other professionals should not be dismissed as ignorance or resistance to change. Many critics understand the reforms fully but question their practical legitimacy in the Nigerian context. There is also a growing acknowledgment—rightly or wrongly—that: The cost of full compliance often exceeds the cost of non-compliance, and Enforcement remains inconsistent, while public trust remains low. This creates a system where moral persuasion fails, and compliance becomes purely coercive. In conclusion, taxation is ultimately a social contract. Where the state persistently fails to deliver basic services, that contract weakens. Until Nigeria significantly improves governance, transparency, and service delivery, tax reforms alone—no matter how well designed—will continue to face deep resistance. Professionals cannot sustainably “sell” compliance without believing in the value proposition behind it. Bottom line Most tax practitioners only interested in avoiding taxes for their clients in every legal way possible. If it means exploiting loopholes, fine by me.
