Thanks Hamachi.Very interesting write up.The proposed new tax regime is what contains in developed countries.The rate proposed in Nigeris is even good.
My tax is 48% of my income where I live in Europe.However, I don't complain because the tax goes into world class infrastructure,free education for my kids till high school, university is subsidised and high quality with almost guaranteed jobs, free healthcare, support for illness or unemployment etc...

I pray the tax intake is well utilised unlike the oil income.We can't trust our leaders.

The write up is very informative and high quality.Every small business here have accountants that file their annual returns to the government.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Wasted Transport, Wasted Photocopies – Kaduna Polytechnic Broke My Heart by Hamachi(f): 4:17pm On Aug 25, 2025
TechToyin:
This morning I woke up on the bright side, hopeful about starting my journey after NYSC.

I saw the notice about Kaduna Polytechnic and prepared myself fully. I borrowed ₦5,000 just for transport and photocopying, since they said we must bring 10 photocopies of all credentials. I printed my CV, wrote an application letter, and made 10 copies each of my NYSC certificate, statement of result, and other documents.

This was my first application after NYSC, so I gave it my all.

When I got to the Central Administrative Block, to my shock, they simply told me it was closed.

Just yesterday, there was no notice of any deadline. Today, I’m left stranded — transport wasted, photocopies wasted, money wasted.

Right now, I honestly feel depressed. I struggled to put this money together, only for everything to go down the drain without even getting the chance to submit.

Sometimes it feels like the system doesn’t care how much we struggle as young people trying to build our future.
What happened to you isn’t just about transport money or photocopies — it’s about how easily young people’s efforts are disregarded. You prepared with all your strength, invested the little you had, and showed up with hope. Yet, without any consideration for applicants, they closed the process abruptly.

This is the silent struggle of many Nigerian youths after NYSC. We’re told to hustle, to be serious, to take opportunities — but when we do, the system fails to meet us halfway. It’s not just unfair, it’s disheartening.

A simple notice about the deadline, a clear communication update, or even a fair extension could have saved you (and others) from wasting scarce resources. But that courtesy was missing.

Your story highlights a deeper truth: young people are ready to work, ready to build their future, but they are constantly frustrated by poor structures and a lack of empathy from institutions. Until the system values effort as much as it demands it, many youths will continue to feel stranded, discouraged, and left behind.

Upbringing and Background are related but not the same.

Upbringing

Refers to how someone was raised — the values, discipline, habits, and guidance given by parents or guardians.

It’s more about the nurturing process: the care, education, and moral training a child receives at home or within their close environment.

Example: “Despite growing up in poverty, his good upbringing made him respectful and hardworking.”


Background

Refers to the circumstances someone comes from — social class, family, culture, education, religion, or economic situation.

It’s more about the setting or context in which a person was born and raised, not necessarily how they were raised.

Example: “She comes from a medical background, as both her parents are doctors.”


Upbringing = How you were raised (nurture, training, values).

Background = Where you come from (social, cultural, economic context).

Hmmmm. I understand your POV, and I saw how the equities surged in prices over the last 6 months. But is it sustainable? I think my greatest fear is with the volatility of the market.
I totally get you. The market’s been hot these past months, but the real question is whether that momentum can last. Volatility is part of the package with equities—you’ll see ups and downs. What usually helps is having a clear reason why you’re investing in the first place, sticking with strong companies, and thinking long term. That way, even when the market shakes, you’re not panicking—you’re just riding the wave.

Yar’Adua's administration saw the highest reserves both in absolute terms (~$62B) and in import coverage (37.8 months) — likely buoyed by high oil prices.

Jonathan’s tenure experienced a sharp drop to ~$28B, reflecting global challenges like oil price shocks and domestic fiscal pressures.

Under Buhari, there was a notable rebound to around $40B by 2021.

Tinubu's period so far shows gradual stabilization, with reserves hovering around $39-40B mid-2025, supported by structural reforms and favorable external balances .

I totally agree with you Sir. I once created a thread on Nairaland to lament about this. Investing in stock is like playing sport betting or engaging in forex trading. It's best for those who engage in daily trading or who are buying over large stocks worth billions, not for minor investors or long term investors.
I get your frustration, but honestly, investing in stocks is not the same as betting or forex. Betting is pure luck, and forex requires constant daily monitoring, but stocks—especially if you’re thinking long-term—work differently. The truth is, the stock market has always rewarded patience more than gambling behavior. You don’t need billions to win; what you need is consistency.

Even with small amounts, buying the right companies and holding them for years can multiply wealth. Think of people who bought Dangote Cement, GTB, or even Apple in its early days. They didn’t need to be billionaires to see life-changing returns. The real problem is that many people expect quick money, so when they don’t see results immediately, they compare it to sport betting.

Stock investing only looks like gambling if you treat it like gambling. But if you approach it with knowledge, discipline, and a long-term mindset, it’s one of the safest and most proven ways to grow wealth steadily.

Listen, I bought shares like 30 years ago abroad already. Don't tell me about any useless knowledge that 9ja flips on it's head. A place where 1 + 1 can be -633?
Is the way 9ja runs corrupt democracy that serious countries run it?

My mistake was to believe that thing work in 9ja as they do in countries where the people and govt mean well for themselves.

I don't need it. I keep my little money invested where it has always worked before the 9ja misadventure.
I understand your frustration, but we can’t dismiss everything about 9ja just like that. Yes, the system is rough, messy, and sometimes feels like 1+1 equals -633, but not everything here is a total waste. Even in developed countries, their systems didn’t get perfect overnight—they went through decades of corruption, failed policies, and trial and error before building what we admire today.

The truth is, if everyone who sees the faults simply checks out and says “I’ll only invest abroad,” then the cycle here never breaks. The same corrupt system will continue unchecked because the very people who know better have left their hands off.

It’s not about putting all your life savings in Nigeria, but at least recognizing that local opportunities do exist. Small, strategic plays here can still yield returns, especially because the market is underdeveloped and full of gaps waiting for smart minds. Abroad gives you safety, but at home there’s also leverage if you know where to look.

Yes, the wife and kids may inherit huge properties from a man who neglected them in life, but material wealth can’t replace the bond, care, and presence of a husband and father. They may be financially secured but emotionally detached — they won’t miss him deeply because he wasn’t truly there for them.

On the other hand, a man who shows love, care, and responsibility creates memories and bonds that outlive material things. Even if he leaves little behind, his family will feel the pain of his absence more strongly because he left them with emotional wealth — love, presence, and guidance.

In short:

Neglect + wealth = inheritance without real affection.

Love + little wealth = mourning with gratitude and deep respect.


So yes, I agree with your point — the measure of a man isn’t only what he leaves for his family, but also what he leaves in his family.
maasoap:
Thank you.
If a man with no or little physical investments but who takes care of his family dies, his wife and kids will mourn him despite leaving little or nothing behind for them. But if a man who doesn't take care of his family dies and leaving huge physical investments behind for them, do you agree that they will inherit all the properties but still won't mourn him or miss him?
There’s a man who owned four houses, a fleet of buses, and plenty of land scattered here and there. But in his own home, he was like a stranger. He never cared if his wife had money for food or if his children’s school fees were paid on time. He would come home late, eat, and sleep — no affection, no bond.

Now imagine the day he dies. Yes, his wife and children will inherit everything — the houses, the buses, the bank accounts. But deep inside, they won’t feel that void that comes from losing a loving father or husband, because he was never really there for them. They may even say things like, “At least now, we can finally enjoy his wealth in peace.”

Compare that with another man who didn’t have much — maybe just a small rented apartment and an old car. Yet, every day he made sure his children ate before he did. He checked their homework, laughed with them, prayed with them, and supported his wife like a true partner. He might not have left big investments behind, but when he dies, the house will be filled with real tears. His absence will be heavy because the love and presence he gave cannot be replaced with money.

One can grow up comfortably and still have poverty mindset...

That's why it's a mindset! undecided
Exactly. Growing up in comfort doesn’t automatically erase a poverty mindset. You can be raised in a wealthy home, attend good schools, and have all the basics provided, yet still carry limiting beliefs about money and abundance.

For example, someone might always feel the need to hoard resources, fear taking calculated risks, or believe opportunities are scarce—even when they’re not. That kind of thinking often comes from upbringing, the values instilled, or even the people you surround yourself with.

So it’s not always about whether you grew up lacking or not. It’s about the mindset you develop towards money, responsibility, and progress. Comfort at home without the right financial orientation can still leave a person with a scarcity mentality.
RomanceRe: After One Week Of Attending Geh Geh Class(photo) by Hamachi(f): 6:00pm On Aug 22, 2025
And that’s exactly the problem with some men — they mistake physical investments for true responsibility. Owning four houses and 20 buses doesn’t mean much if your wife and children are left to struggle with basic needs. A man’s first “investment” should be in his home, because a hungry family and neglected children will never celebrate you for how many assets you have outside.

It’s like building a mansion but refusing to fix the leaking roof in your own bedroom. Yes, assets are good, but what’s the use when your children can’t boast of proper care or your wife feels abandoned? True wealth isn’t only counted in properties; it’s measured in how well you provide comfort, security, and dignity for those who depend on you daily.

At the end of the day, buses and houses can be sold or lost, but the love and respect of your family is priceless — and once that is gone, no amount of “investments” can buy it back.

EducationRe: Contraceptive Implant: A Growing Moral Challenge Among Secondary School Girls by Hamachi(f): 5:58pm On Aug 22, 2025
Ibkay32:
We were brought up in different ways, so don’t be surprised if those girls’ parents are actually the ones behind the implants of these contraceptive devices. In this country, there are many parents like that. If you walk through towns and streets, you’ll see parents who take their children to herbalists for “yahoo plus,” just to make quick money. You’ll also find parents openly supporting their daughters to go into hookups, encouraging them instead of guiding them.

It’s sad because it shows how broken some values have become. Instead of teaching discipline, hard work, and dignity, many parents now push their children toward shortcuts and dangerous lifestyles. This is why society is getting worse because the very foundation, the home, is already compromised.
You’re absolutely right that we all come from different backgrounds, and the way a child is raised often reflects the mindset of the parents. Sadly, in today’s society, some parents have lost their sense of responsibility and are even the ones pushing their children into harmful paths—whether through contraceptives without proper guidance, supporting internet fraud, or encouraging hookups as a means of survival.

When the home fails in instilling discipline, dignity, and hard work, it’s only natural that society begins to crumble. The real tragedy is that children grow up confused, thinking shortcuts and immorality are the normal way of life, instead of understanding the value of patience, integrity, and building a future the right way.

At the end of the day, no amount of clinics, contraceptives, or “modern solutions” can replace the role of proper parenting. Once the foundation is compromised, every other structure will eventually show cracks.

It's always best to take your child to the clinic to have her placed on birth control as soon as she starts hanging around boys to avoid a situation whereby she ends up as a teen mom.

prevention is better than cure... Traditional parenting no longer works on these teenagers.
I understand some parents may feel it’s too early or unnecessary, but the reality is that times have changed. Teenagers today are exposed to so much information, peer pressure, and influence from social media that “just warning them” isn’t always enough. Placing your daughter on birth control isn’t about encouraging immorality—it’s about protecting her future.

Imagine the difference between a 16-year-old dealing with the responsibility of raising a child versus that same 16-year-old focusing on her education and building her dreams. Prevention simply saves her from carrying a burden she’s not ready for. As parents, our responsibility is not only to advise but also to take practical steps to safeguard them.

The world has moved beyond traditional methods of parenting alone; we now need intentional and proactive strategies to keep our children safe.

I hear your frustration, but let’s also look at it from another angle.

Yes, society has its issues — corruption, immorality, parenting challenges — but that’s not the whole story. There are still young people building businesses, raising their voices for justice, choosing to live responsibly, and parents who sacrifice daily to raise children with values.

Every generation has thought the world was getting worse, but each one has also produced people who stood for what’s right. Social media isn’t only a tool for immorality — it has also spread the gospel, given opportunities to the poor, reunited families, and educated millions for free.

Instead of just lamenting, the real call is for us to model the difference we want to see. Jesus indeed makes the difference, but He does it through people who decide to live out His teachings in their homes, schools, businesses, and communities.

It’s not only “end times things”… it’s also “our time things.” What we plant now will determine what grows tomorrow.

To be honest we are not ready for this discussion.

First to avoid all these alien practice. I call it alien because I am more of a conservative person. I don't follow trend. You must be an intentional parent. If you have a girl child, you must a take a double dose. You've to be intentional of the environment you train your children, you've to be intentional about their friends and you must make out time to creat a strong bond with your daughters.

Now, remember that an apple doesn't fall far from the tree. If you know during your own time you were randy and have high libido. Their is every tendency one of your girls will inherit it.... In other to prevent it.... It's either you do the 'organic' way our ancestor used which the western world have demonized in other to sell their drugs to us that are killing our young girls today.

I know the will come after my post. But truth be told...it's better to practice FGM, to your girl child than this so called implants. It's safer, if they allow trained personal to do it.... But know, the have an agender ... They have criminalized it, and make it look like it's the leading cause of infertility in women, meanwhile it's the other way round.

As for me, it's all shades of wrong to allow a teen abuse her body with all this foreign body's in the name of implants. It's even better she gets pregnant...that might also be a turning point in her life, and most times, it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Early use of contraceptives is the leading cause of hormonal imbalance which might eventually lead fertility complications. A word is of enough...if you like follow the woke people ..na premium tears
I understand where you’re coming from, and I respect your conservative view, but I think we need to look at this issue carefully.

First, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is not “organic” or safe. It is not a cultural cure for high libido, neither is it a protection for our girls. Medical experts all over the world — including doctors right here in Nigeria — have shown that FGM can cause lifelong complications: chronic pain, severe infections, difficulties during childbirth, and yes, even infertility. It’s not just “the western world” saying this; it’s African doctors, midwives, and women who have lived with the trauma.

Secondly, calling implants “foreign bodies” ignores the fact that the real issue is not the method but why teens seek them in the first place. If parents are intentional, as you rightly said, and create that strong bond with their children, then conversations about sex, choices, and consequences can happen openly. That way, the child doesn’t feel the need to hide or secretly use dangerous or unsuitable options.

Pregnancy should never be seen as a “blessing in disguise” for a teenager. A teenage pregnancy often derails education, causes emotional stress, and can trap a young girl in cycles of poverty or unhealthy relationships. Yes, some women rise above it, but for many, it closes doors that could have led to a better life.

As for contraceptives, while overuse or misuse can have side effects, modern medicine provides safer, reversible options when guided by a professional. The real solution is balanced education — teaching our daughters about their bodies, self-worth, and decision-making, while also ensuring boys are taught responsibility too.

In short, protecting our girls doesn’t mean cutting them or leaving them exposed to risky situations. It means empowering them with knowledge, guidance, and love so that they don’t have to depend on secrecy, fear, or desperation to make choices about their bodies.

A Growing Moral Challenge Among Secondary School Girls

A disturbing incident recently occurred in a secondary school that calls for the urgent attention of parents and society at large.

A female student in SS2 committed an offense that led her teacher to discipline her. During the process, blood was unexpectedly seen dripping from her arm. She was taken to the principal’s office, where she was asked to remove her shirt.

To everyone’s shock, it was discovered that the bleeding came from an implant device lodged in her upper arm.

The implant, medically known as a contraceptive device, is designed to prevent pregnancy during sexual intercourse. Once inserted, it can remain in the body for up to three years.

Upon questioning, the student confessed that she was not the only one carrying the device. A school-wide investigation revealed that at least 40 female students were found with similar implants.

This raises critical questions:

What business does a girl under the age of 17 have with such a device?

How did these secondary school students gain access to it?

What is the role of medical practitioners inserting such devices into minors?

The implications are alarming. If left unchecked, this trend threatens the moral upbringing of children and the future of our society. Parents cannot afford to remain silent.

The Role of Parents and Society

Parents have a divine and moral duty to nurture, monitor, and guide their children. Failure to do so not only leads to societal decay but also carries accountability before God.
Equally concerning is the role of health workers who administer such implants to underage girls. By doing so, they indirectly promote immorality and compromise the values of the younger generation.

Way Forward
Parents must intensify close monitoring of their children, both at home and in school.
Open communication between parents and children on moral, religious, and social issues must be prioritized.
Community leaders, religious leaders, and schools should work together to restore discipline and moral guidance.
Where possible, girls who are of age and have responsible suitors should be encouraged to marry, as marriage helps curb immoral behavior.
What was once thought to be a challenge only among university students is now creeping into secondary schools. This calls for urgent action from parents, schools, health authorities, and society at large. The moral future of our children depends on the decisions we make today.
The shocking discovery of contraceptive implants among secondary school girls has stirred outrage, with many framing it as a sign of moral collapse. But before we condemn these young girls, let’s pause and consider: could this incident be less about immorality and more about protection, survival, and silence around sexual realities?

First, contraceptives don’t fall into the hands of minors by magic. If dozens of students in one school carry the same device, it means they are being guided—or perhaps pressured—by someone older. This raises a possibility that some of these girls may not even be engaging in consensual relationships but are rather being shielded (or silenced) from the consequences of exploitation. Instead of immediately seeing them as “wayward,” we should be asking: Are these girls victims of abuse, manipulation, or neglect?

Second, let’s face a hard truth: whether society admits it or not, teenagers are exposed to sexual realities—through peer influence, social media, or even unsafe encounters. For some, using contraceptives may not be about “promoting immorality,” but about avoiding early pregnancies that could ruin their education and future opportunities. A 16-year-old with a baby has her life trajectory altered forever. Isn’t it possible that, in their own limited wisdom, these girls are choosing what they see as the lesser of two evils?

Third, placing all the blame on parents, teachers, and health workers oversimplifies a bigger problem. Health practitioners may not be encouraging immorality; they might be responding to a painful reality—that society has failed to protect young girls from sexual risks, and the implants are a desperate form of damage control.

Instead of rushing to enforce stricter control, perhaps what is most urgently needed is:

Honest conversations between parents and children about sexuality—not just warnings and fear.

Empowerment of girls to understand consent, self-worth, and boundaries.

Accountability for men and older individuals who exploit underage girls (a part of the story often ignored).


Yes, the discovery is alarming. But the true moral challenge is not the implant itself—it’s the silence, neglect, and lack of safe guidance that push children into taking matters into their own hands.

The implants are a symptom. The deeper disease is a society that shies away from real conversations about sex, protection, and responsibility.

Point noted, but it’s not always about poverty or background. Sometimes a man counting meat in the pot is more about personality, upbringing, or even control issues than financial lack. There are people who grew up comfortable yet still have stingy, calculative habits. Likewise, some who came from real scarcity are very generous once they have enough.

So, while a “poverty mindset” can explain some behaviors, it’s not the only reason. In many cases, it’s simply a character flaw, not a financial condition.

I understand why it looked irritating, but sometimes things aren’t as straightforward as they appear. For some people, it’s not always poverty mindset—it could be habit, upbringing, or even a way of trying to manage the home. Maybe he grew up in an environment where food had to be carefully rationed or where quarrels easily started if someone felt cheated.

Also, not everyone sees meat or food as “just food.” In many homes, meat represents fairness and respect. If one person takes more than the other, it can spark unnecessary fights, so some people go the extra mile to monitor it. It may look extreme, but from his perspective, he could be trying to avoid conflict.

Rather than seeing it as madness, it might be more of insecurity or poor communication between him and his wife. A healthier approach would be for them to openly agree on how food is shared, so no one feels shortchanged.

It’s possible she’s not just being controlling but trying to track spending and make sure there’s no waste or dishonesty. Some people like to be very detailed with money because they feel it’s the only way to keep order in the home.

On the other hand, that kind of strict monitoring can also create tension. Marriage should have trust at its core, not suspicion. Instead of “counting lengths,” a better approach could be to agree on a budget and trust each other to manage it wisely.

Sometimes over-accountability comes from fear—fear of shortage, fear of mismanagement, or even past experiences of being cheated. The best fix is communication: if both partners are transparent and open, there won’t be a need for micromanaging every little expense.

InvestmentRe: How To Buy The Best Bank Stocks In Nigeria by Hamachi(f): 5:02pm On Aug 22, 2025
I get your point and I respect your experience, but I wouldn’t write off the stock market completely. Yes, 2009 was brutal and a lot of people got burnt, but the truth is every investment class has its risks—land inclusive.

Land might feel safer, but it’s not immune. We’ve seen cases of government acquisition, double sales, or community disputes that swallow up people’s money. Meanwhile, some stocks have quietly created generational wealth—those who bought and held companies like GTB (now GTCO), Zenith, or even Dangote Cement at the right time know what I mean.

The real issue is not “stocks vs land” but strategy. Diversification doesn’t mean abandoning stocks—it means balancing them with other assets like land, fixed income, or even foreign investments. If you only stick to land, you may miss opportunities for liquidity and compounding growth that stocks can offer.

So, while insider trading and volatility exist, with patience, research, and risk management, the stock market still has its place in a solid portfolio.
SatoshiX:
The 700k i spent on First Bank IPO @33 naira per share in 2007 is worth next to nothing today. The land I bought few month earlier has appreciated more than 1000% so far.
My biggest investment regret.
Edit:

It's not about what you think, it's actually my own personal experience.
What led me to Nairaland in 2005 was my curiosity about stock and shares.
I had huge portfolio from Banks, Oil and Gas(JA Paul etc), Insurance and so many undervalued stocks. At the end I got burnt so badly that I forgot my CNCS number (whatever it's called). You can read about the stock market crash of 2009 upwards.
While stock market might be a good investment option, for your sanity, you must diversify your investments.
From experience, genuine land will give you ROI that stocks will struggle to give you at the long run.
Fyi, Nigerian stock market is very volatile and till today insider trading is still rife.
Goodluck anyways.
