You think people who sell their entire inheritance and savings in Nigeria to go abroad are not serious and willing?

onyemaair:
We pay very low taxes in Nigeria. In America my poultry farm would most likely be taxed. My wife's salary is not taxed at all. Mine is deducted from the ministry but my tax is just 15k monthly. But federal government pays emoluments and allowances.

I also don't go to work everyday. The same thing with many of my colleagues. We have a system that covers for each other. I go to work only 3 times in a week.
You can't have such laxity abroad. You will work through your nose.

Lastly let me tell you the icing on the cake, I haven't paid nepa bill in 3 years. Around us we have people that rig the meter, so it doesn't read. When the nepa people come much later, we settle the staff and he goes. This cannot happen in abroad.

Godx:
Bro I have heard life experiences from people who went and returned. A cousin of ours who have B S from an American university returned last December after completion of his education and gave us first hand account of how Nigerians, blacks are going through hard times there. When you are broke in America you will realize how easy you have it in Nigeria. If you go abroad you will see people that sold their inheritance to travel and they are stuck. If there are 100 people abroad , maybe 5 may be successful but the other 95 will be full of regrets. The high cost of living there negates any perceived positive.

Big man, see eh, Nigeria is a hole for reals. It can make you go mad and crazy same time.

Around December last year, I was driving interstate with my wife to go for a Christian program I was invited for at Makurdi from PH.

Using Google map made me not to drive on full speed plus my babe no dey gree make i fire as I been dey fire when I single.
Omo, after Enugu, heading towards Otukpo around that 6.30/7pm, I saw scores of scantily dressed young men numbering about 15 with locally made guns and cutlasses coming out of the surrounding thick bushes and hills towards the roads. Few started running towards my car from the other lane

If I been no kpai that day, forget. In split seconds, I increased speed and zeroed my mind that any bastard that enters my front will have a date with his maker that evening.

My hands, legs and every part of my body shook for 10mins. It started to dawn on me that this was how people die on the highway; kidnappings, rape and the likes.

For church program wey I dey go? I told God, "Baba, we gats reason o, shey na like this we go dey"?

The thought that I could have lost my life or my wife or even both scared the shiit out of me. Wife wey I just marry now now now I never chop well

Kingsnairaland:
Putin is waging a war against over 40 countries and still advancing. One country holding the entire western world to ransom. Donbas is almost completely liberated. 20 years all of nato country's could not liberate Afghanistan from Taliban lol

And in 100 days Russia took the size of UK from Ukraine.

donjazet:
This video was the pure definition of a massacre. I believe that's why this particular incident has made national news. The scene is just too gory. It's really a shame. I hope to leave this country soon.

Godx:
You say tribalism/religion is dividing Nigeria yet in your own family you are already having secondary and primary priority.

raumdeuter:
Do you have kids of your own? IMO those are your primary responsibility. Cousins, nephew nieces are just secondary and dont take over your immediate family

liveLongNprospa:
My youngest sibling just turned 5yrs old..

Oga tell me how I can look at him and think he is secondary when he can practically pass for my son..

Like I said, it's a different reality for all of us.

benalvino3:
They will think it's a conspiracy. See Timiofak saying the deepstate is not real. Denying reality.

Sometimes I see what's going on in the US and realised how the TV series: prison break was trying to tell us there is an elite that runs a lot of things. In that TV series the deepstate is called : the company.

andrewbaba44:
It doesn’t matter

I am letting his fan boys know how its easy playing against European farmers

Memphis Depay can relate

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Uba got 240,000 votes during the APC primary

Election gan gan, he got 40k votes

Una go dey yarn as if these figures written with pen and paper cannot be manipulated with pen and paper[/color]

nihilistjnr:
You said it yourself.

You're a father of 3 on 128k monthly salary. I don't mean to be insensitive so I will try to pick my words carefully.

I cannot imagine the struggle, but I can recognise and empathise with you. I cannot in all good conscience though ever insinuate that there is hope for Nigera, as there is none.

Inflation will continue to eat at your income, and as you're a career civil servant, you are unlikely to easily transition to private sector in Nigeria. You are now at the mercy of your governor assuming you're a state civil servant, or whoever it is at federal level.

It's salary and pension they are using to pay delegates and campaign over the next few months.

I'm sorry if you feel insulted by the japa talk, but if you think it's going to get better, then who knows.

I will leave the subject now out of respect for your post. I wish you all thr beat though.

andrewbaba44:
Messi playing the European farmers pendu has been stat padding against in his international career and already scored an hatrick

Segedinho:
If i have the means...none of my children will school here but the issue is where is the fund

I am not against japa at all...i am just saying shouting japa every now and then even without the funds isn't normal

donjazet:
Just saw the video, it's truly heartbreaking.
My God! What a country.

seankafor:
I have a childhood friend in same Manchester too, dude doubles as Uber driver and also Amazon drop shipper..

When you wake up to your bills, no be person go tell you to get your ass to work..

But man, you gotta work through your nose to live over there..

Literally na for naija Dem fit flex muscules owing to exchange rate..
But over there, no body send their papa.. na why Dem dey prefer to come naija come flex small muscle

Segedinho:
Bros..i am living comfortably that i don't think about japa..

BlueMann:
Only two?

donjazet:
Are you ready to work under a transgender boss like Ibime said he once did?? Would you be comfortable walking on the road and seeing 2 men kiss everywhere you went??

afrodoc2:
Zidane that has been patiently waiting for Deschamps to retire after this World Cup so he can take over his dream France job.

Also as a Marseille fan it would be quite tricky for him to take the PSG job.

hensben:
PSG should go for Mou, he knows how to use old and experienced players, he will win ucl with them by playing low block and counter attack with a them.

Roland17:
Buhari don serve half-done breakfast this night

raumdeuter:
Players whose claim to being good are by what people say not what they do on the field

PDPGuy:
Oh
I’m not an Atiku supporter. My moniker was a random choice and doesn’t imply I’m in PDP’s camp

Ojuntana:
No. Bubu can still have the final say. Anyone he chooses from the south, the northern govs will have no choice but to support. Something like horse-trading.
Muslim-Muslim ticket will always be difficult in this Nigeria. The era of 1993 is gone. Deborah was just killed last month. Christians so how Muslim politicians refrained from condemning that act. El-Rufai has a bigot's baggage which makes it worse

PDPGuy:
??

Ojuntana:
Buni? Tinubu guy? That's a new one. El-Rufai is even more pro-Tinubu than Buni.
It's friendly to him since it cedes the ticket to his zone

Ojuntana:
Yobe gov and Kwara too
