How much is minimum wage bill in the USA pls?

Do u pay monthly rent in the US, do u cut your hair with over 3k naira minimum equivalent to how much used to cut hair here....do u pay ur mechanic by the hour?

TaminaliaCatapa:
In those developed countries you mentioned, peoples taxes are well spent....good roads, stable electricity, portable water et al are to show for it.
Trust me, Nigerians won’t give a Bleep if these are in place for them

So this is a fvcked up development and should b antagonized....these politicians will surely loot the proceeds thereof

Y'all forget that the good roads didnt appear all of a sudden, your forefathers were shipped against their will to come work and build infrastructures that they enjoy today. Gradually polices and taxes were implemented to maintain and build more roads. Rome was not built today....today we cant ship people to come build roads or infrastructures, we all have a part to play with our money. Yes the government is corrupt, many ordinary Nigerians are corrupt too, this u know.

FarahAideed:
Just look mediocre reasoning your brain is dishing .. read what you wrote again and tell me if you are not ashamed

No i am not ashamed of my self. Can u now answer the question instead of fooling around?

MartinsD12:
You are talking of a country us where things work they make proper use of tax to develop and build the American dream unlike here where the government will embezzle the funds with nothing for the citizenry

They started from.somewhere...
It didnt happen over night
There was also a time they were not taxed

FarahAideed:
Show us the development Tinubu has used the trillions of tax he has collected in Lagos if not to enrich himself ..till date Lagos has no roads , no pipe borne water and 80 percent of the inhabitants don't even have toilets ... Keep fooling yourself

What state cab u compare with Lagos.
Go play for sand abeg!

olanrewaju99:
their tax over there is justified unlike here where corruption is running in blood of our politicians and most of we supporters.

For something that have not even been implemented ?

tegrianonigltd:
America do tax return Do Nigeria do ? Even in Dubai when leaving the country, once you hold all your receipts they give you the tax, so Bleep you, you daft like buhari, airlines collect vat , book an airline and see..

Tax return for what u bought online? If you ate taxed the way Americans are taxed....u will be crying like u doing now. Maybe if u understand the tax returns, u wont be blabbing here. You know people still owe IRS after the so called tax returns or u think its everyone that gets returns?

FarahAideed:
You think Nigeria is your agbero bus stop or Lagos market where u steal daily from merchants and they keep quiet ..

I should have looked at ur moniker b4 quoting u. Everlasting wailer obsessed with Tinubu success, never making sensible or meaningful contribution except extremely childish rhetoric. Even if u buy a thing worth just $3 here in the US, expect to pay 6% extra as tax. You want development but u are not ready for modalities that will bring development. Tmr u compare Nigeria to the US.
I made over $5k last month with over time, over $1k was taken out as Tax, that does not mean if i purchase anything online or in the stores i wont be tax, i will still be taxed. Attached is a pic of me trying to buy a tv from Amazon. See how tax is being added

FarahAideed:
You are not a good thinker .. Do you realise the money inside personal bank accounts have already been taxed ?

And so what?

Ikem11:
Lol you guys voted then in so enjoy.. When that fail they will make 1MB to be N1000 to fund 2020 budget... Then all those monikas and blogs that campaigned for them hunger go do una 30

olanrewaju99:
The way my dear country is been govern only when we all wake up from our slumber then we can vote our conscience, PDP scam APC fraudster with experienced hardened criminals. The poor still have to contribute for the rich ones to get richer.... Las Las everyone will still lay 6ft under the ground what a mystery.

People want development and keep making noise about how foriegn countries here but are not ready for what the foriegn countries do. Here in the US they task everything u buy, cash, online, debit machines anything. This is just an example of me trying to buy a tv worth over $1000. The tax is about $68 added to the original price of the tv which is 6% of the original cost.

Govo4me2u:
2019 election was rigged, therefore this government is not legitimate.

Mtcheeeeew!!!

ifyboy60:
Mr. Socrates von Aristotle, u are a waste of my time.

U obviously cant realise how foolish u were sounding...

All those u mentioned, did they mention or are they after revolution?

They after their ideologies which are 2 different things. Next time u want to sound intelligent u have to be wise and smart about it. Lol. I didnt want to dignify u with a response.....but i think u need to realise u are the real dunce here. Sorry to say

ifyboy60:
like CIA or FBI picked up the communist party of America abi? whose ideology is to cause a revolution that will transform the US to a communist state.

like they picked up the NAACP abi

like they picked up white supremacists groups who aim to change racial laws abi

like they picked up Lois Farrakhan and his nation of Islam who aim to implement sharia abi

like they picked up all lobbying groups who try to shape America to their own desires abi

U are not talking to an online dunce, like I said quit NTA.

Lool...

U really sound stupid....

No point discussing with u.....u honestly dont know what u talking about and just blabbing....

For ur info i live and work in the states.....so the NTA bullshit is a joke on u.

ifyboy60:
Sir, do u watch any non NTA TV station?
if yes, u might have heard of Trump, and his Rivals, they've called him all they can, many have protested, called for his impeachment (bundle him out can also mean impeachment.) some dems have even called for secession.
Same in France, UK etc, but when it comes to Nigeria, u guys will always find good excuses for Buhari.

How does this relate to this thread. In all ur rambling i did not see anyone call for revolution against the US government. There have also been several calls for Buhari's impeachment, PDP have attacked several times, we have seen FFK, RENO on the social media....have any of them been picked up. Make noise on the internet that u want to start a revolution protest in the states and see if CIA or FBI will not pick u up

Omeizadean:
What an idiotic analysis haba!!! Am so ashamed for u and the 200 plus moronic nairalanders that gave u likes... The young boys in ur reasoning were they protesting or giving signs that they were going to armed up one day and rob? Were they convening and threatening to take over our houses and put others occupants in them? U see what have befell u igbos? No more sense. The constructive reasoning have left ur lots and hatred and idiotic comments and posts have take center stages in ur brains albeit this kind of reasoning. We might as well kill all girls cos one day they will commit abortion. Did u see how stupid this sound? Yea that's how u sound. Igbos receive sense this minutes cos if fights for change of government with this kind of reasoning calamity will befall all us cos u will foolishly put a Satan to the seat of govt without realising.

Bro....i tire for that guy. I wasted my precious time on him. His analysis are so idiotic and silly. I wonder people wey dey like that comment. Na slowspokes like am sha

boldaslion:
And in your small mind now you think that his arrest will stop the impending catastrophe about befalling the Zoo?

About to befall ur imaginary Biafra. When they create go fund me funds for the "REVOLUTION" make sure u donate ur small change

gidgiddy:
Use your brains. Which group would plan to rob CBN then first inform them that they are coming? You really thing that a group that truly wants to rob a federal institution like CBN would warn CBN ahead so they can put adequate security measures in place?

I dont know what this has to do with the fact that Sowore called for a mass protest, which the constitution allows him to do, and he was arrested for it.



It may interest you to know that it was the Federal Government that made Boko haram what it is today. Boko haram started as a protest group that was against Western education. Rather than your government to engage them, they rushed in, captured their leader Dikko Yusuf and several members, slaughtered them in broad daylight. What did that achieve? Shekau took over, armed what was left of them and started fighting Nigeria.

Today, over 200,000 Nigerians are dead, millions are displaced and billions of Naira that Nigeria could have used for other things have been spent fighting boko haram for the last 10 years

All for what? If the government had engaged Boko haram in dialogue when they were just protesting against western education, we may not have been in this situation. If government had killed Nnamdi Kanu or El Zakzaky when they came for them, some of their followers would have taken up arms like Boko haram. We keep repeating the same mistakes. Now it is Sowore, just because he wants to protest against government

Na your village 200k people die abi. Do u even know ehat 200k lives is? U just dey yap nonsense. If the useless PDP government had tackled all this issues when it all started.....it wont be a full blown epidemic we see today.

gidgiddy:
You still dont get it. We are in a democracy. People should be allowed to say whatever they like. What matters is what people do. You cannot charge a person to court for 'talking'. If Sowore likes, he can protest that he wants Buhari to step down. If Sowore likes , he can protest that he wants Snow to fall in Lagos. The constitution has given him the right to protest for whatever reason. The constitution has also given him the right of free speech as long as what he says is not being used to commit crime. If the authorities have any evidence that Sowore wants to use the protest to fo something unlawful, then they should arrest and charge him to court

But if the authorities arrested him because he mentioned the word 'revolution' or that he said he wants 'bundle Buhari out of office' then this arresting a man for merely talking.

If governments start going after people for what they said, as opposed to what they do, then it is no longer democracy, it is dictatorship.

If you cannot understand all this and still insist that the government is right to go after Sowore because of the words he used then it means you dont understand democracy and how it works

Chia...i just dey waste my time ....
All this your analysis ehn.

KidsNEXTdoor:
The right to peaceful protests is enriched in the United Nations charter...

It's a fundamental human right

Buhari himself embarked on one in 2007 ....


Nigeria is finished... Democracy is dead and buried

We are under a dictator
God punish all those supporting this evil against Nigeria and Nigerians...

Which of the protests was termed revolution,abi una nor know the meaning of that word?

orion7:
I pity for this nation .


nigeria is a mess simply because of youruba Muslims.

if not for those knuckle heads the South will babd together.
who born this useless quote system aboki police man. rubbish.

yinka odumakin. obadanjo. fayose. fasoranti. And so many yourba Christians 're on one side.


on the other side 're the Muslims led by bourdillon Capone. aregbesola. mc oluomo. liar muhammed. etc

if nothing has been done about BH and other bandits....u will be a refugee in another country by now.
Yes the war is not yet won, but saying nothing is being done about them is a fallacy. You are being warned now, if not the BH treatment will be given to u. I created a thread about the revolution talk.....its a treasonable felony.....u have been warned. Dont come and create wailing threads if any of your loved ones dies....i will have said u, but u will have been long one and wont be able to create a thread

gidgiddy:
Exactly, you allow people to protest then if the protest turns violent, then you can call in the Army to restore law and order.

This has nothing to do with overthrowing government. When Sowore was calling for a revolution, he said he wants people to come out and join him in protest against the direction Nigeria is heading. He never said anything about taking up arms or being violent.

Arresting Sowore because he mentioned the word 'revolution' would be tantamount to arresting people simply for talking.

Only somebody armed can overthrow a government. So if Sowore and his group are not armed and only want to on a protest which they call 'revolution', then arresting him is only because he talked.

We are in a democracy where people have freedom of speech. The authorities should not be arresting people for merely talking. That is very bad and takes us back to the days of the military where saying the wrong words could land one in jail

This is Sowere's exacts words


"I'm not talking of protest. I'm embarking on revolution. 85% of Nigerians are in support. Don't tell me about legal implications or what a Judge will say. I don't care. We must bundle Buhari out of that place...."


The clear definition of Revolution is clearly written up there...

Trying to water it down or use ur own narative to suit yiur personal opinions wouldnt change the facts or meaning of a revolution. Again no sane government will watch someone mobilize for a revolution against her government

izombie:
but i thought your pay masters said they arrested him to save him from setting himself on fire.

Every government get packaging !

Afamsi:
In FULANITOCRACY- A system of government where a clueless and senseless fulani is the president, Human Right is non existent.

Some of u have really short memories or let me say deliberate amnesia. Was it a fulani government that deployed soldiers during occupy Nigeria, was it a Fulani Government that deployed soldiers nationwide to sieze newspapers and invade newsmedia houses? Weather fulanuli, yoruba or igbo government, will the government sit and watch someone threaten a rovolution? Stick to the topic and stop all these childish rants.

KidsNEXTdoor:
Supporters of Evil will look for a way to justify the terrorist in power

Unfortunately this does not answer the question

gidgiddy:
That's like saying that all young boys should be shot because an armed robber first starts off as young boy, grows into a man, takes up arms and starts robbing people.

Should we kill all young boys because of the possibility that some of them could be armed robbers in the future? No, that would be very stupid. That's how stupid your argument is

Freedom of expression and protest is enshrined in section 39 of the Nigerian constitution. The authorities are bound by law to allow people to freely protest. If the protest turns violent, then the authorities can move in and arrest the violent protesters. That is how civilised countries act

Your analysis and example is way of off. Occupy Nigeria started as a normal protest.....then gradually it was turning intp something else....guess what the government did? They deployed soldiers everywhere...is that a lie? Freedom of expression with peaceful protest is different from a revolution.
Like i said b4, no government will watch someone call for a revolution against her government

I cant trust anything from the tribe posting this at this time....i am sorry to say.

gidgiddy:
There is just one thing you are missing. It is not possible for unarmed people to overthrow a government.


Freedom to protest is very essential in a democracy, without it, it is no longer democracy you are practicing

Revolutions always start with unarmed protesters, then violence, then some armed group and politicians hijack it....that's how it all starts!

Revolution definition from 2 different dictionaries;

1. rev·o·lu·tion

a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system.

synonyms: rebellion, revolt, insurrection, mutiny, uprising, riot, rioting, rising, insurgence, insurgency, coup, overthrow, seizure of power, regime change;

2. : a sudden, radical, or complete change
a fundamental change in political organization

especially : the overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed

While I am strongly in support of freedom of speech and association, I really don't think any government in the world wouldn't act on organizers of a protest which have been widely publicised as a "REVOLUTION" protest.

In my PERSONAL opinion, a better adjective or word should have been used for the so called protest.

Occupy Nigeria is a good example
The 2 face 1 million march which he later called off is another.

Whats your take?

This is coming on the heels of the purported arrest of Sowere.

Google7:
We have been protesting in Nigeria since the days of Lord Lugard. Not only Atiku, we protested aagainst governments of Jonathan, OBJ' ATIKU, even Abacha, IBB.

Nigerians can't be less than humans; who at the barest minimum have a freedom of speech.

If Buhari is not comfortable with human freedom, let him go back to leading cows.

Lol...

Come America say u wan lead "revolution" protest.

If CIA and FBI nor go carry u go keep for one place.

Abi una nor know the mean of "REVOLUTION"

bigpicture001:
The WAEC always say that to say someone pass 0'level..such person.MUST have passed English and maths...buhari..didnt...

So even if he has a cert...he did not pass 0'level...

So he is not educationally qualified to be a president....

Jonathan allowed this cow on us cut on peace

Una like mumu noise. When did that rule start? Small pikin

[quote author=Arysexy post=80733703b]]I can swear that this Monday of a guy is a chemist who treats gunshot Fulani rustlers ignorantly and was arrested and tagged with the caption of gang leader, why not mention the names of others?

Someone that does not know d language of cows cannot rustle cows nor a cattle rearer will now go to a state he is not familiar with the terrain to lead 17 gang members specialized in cattle rearing for rustling

Another attempt to rope in Igbo into this Fulani herdsmen wahala just like they did during boko Haram saga.

Buhari, NTA are mad bigot entities

One Nigeria my nyashh[/quote]So one can innocently treat gun shot victims?
Whoever told u its only fulanis that have cows?
The ignorance of u guys on this forum is appalling. Many of these cows u see in the south are owned by big guys in the south....the lanky, unkept looking fulani man u see with the cattles are just employees taking the cattles around to breed!

kenkruse:
How they systematically put the Delta guy in front of the news. One Nigeria my foot

But u masturbate all over the place when every crime is attributed to fulani herdsmen. Now u can have an erection cos a southerner to masturbate cos a southerner was mentioned

seborrhic:
A Christian,in an almost 100% Muslim state,in radical Muslim hinterlands,leading a bunch of radical Muslim adherents to rustle cattle and engage in kidnapping?
The army should tell it to the Marines and the birds.
This one is propaganda done by a newborn child.

The foolishness of u people thinking its only muslims or Fulanis that own cows is appalling. As a matter of fact many of the cattles u see in the south are owned by southerners, they employ fulanis to breed the cows. You better wake up from your mumuness.
