How come most Nigerians depend on remittances for survival
https://nairametrics.com/2020/01/11/nigeria-receives-17-5-billion-diaspora-remittances-in-2019/

MOST Nigerians depend on remittances for survival? Are you speaking from personal experience or you just want to talk?
Did you even read the link you posted?

Remittances have been steady and rising slowly for over a decade but. They are still a small fraction of FX inflows.

Remittances have increased but it's still a small piece of the pie.

chigo4u:
Nothing is happening there, if you’re so sure, tell us the take off date for the refinery. Only the fertilizer is working for now

Nothing is happening there? I have some property interests in Idasho Town. That is the community directly opposite Dangote gate. I suggest that you take a trip to that area and see things for yourself.

While you are inside your house hiding from Coronavirus, work is currently going on in the refinery and other Dangote projects in that area.

You are talking about property rentals alone. That is merely a part of real estate and not the whole thing. There are many ways to make serious money from real estate. The most prominent ones are buying land and flipping as well as building houses and selling them for profit.

There are those who buy acres in locations where the government wants to build roads and they divide the land into plots and sell. There are those who buy land in areas with good amenities, build duplexes on them and sell for a handsome profit. There are those who provide certain services and get valuable land in return. Real Estate is much more than building houses for rentals.

However, I agree with you that anyone with a thriving business doesn't need to dip his hand into his capital and go pour it in building a house for rent.

That driver didn't act unilaterally, he was just the lowest ranking guy and the scapegoat.

emmanuelewumi:
He should be in the court, if breach of contract actually occurred

It's not really breach of contract, more of IP theft.
Nevertheless, the man should have lawyered-up and taken it up legally.

Has First bank paid the guy who designed their 100 years logo or they are still using allegedly stolen logo to market their bank?

With their ugly bank doors that look like cage built with scrap aluminium.

The reason China is yet to get a cure for Coronavirus despite being infected first is because China doesn't have where to steal it from.

All what they have are stolen intellectual property. If they can't steal, they can't survive.

emmanuelewumi:
Very good. Once you are not indebted and you have something to save and reinvest at the end of year, some people can be wealthy by their own terms and definition with N100 million, which is still a huge sum in Nigeria

Of course, you're very much correct.

emmanuelewumi:
Let the answer keep coming.

You have not given your own subjective definition

Lol. Okay. Let me make an attempt.

I think a wealthy person of today is someone whose income outweighs his/her needs and can guarantee quality living.

emmanuelewumi:
Good definition

So what is your definition of a wealthy Nigerian

This question is highly subjective. If you ask 10 people, you'll get 10 different answers.

For those thinking of investing their money in Opay, be informed that the company is currently selling off their motorcycles at a loss. Brand new motorcycles for 270k.

What does that tell you?

helpyom:
Good evening ma,

Am going via studies route while on the program with the pharmacy job am doing here i will apply for Pharmacy Technician jobs that could get me PR, lost 2 pharmacy technician jobs I applied in Tasmania and Victoria sometime late last year and recently as of March 2020 because I was offshore.

I know how the 20hrs things work even recently Australia Pm lifted higher work time for Nursing students not just that my university nursing program is more of work placements with some stipends.

I know it's hard at this perilous time I appreciate you ma, I have nothing else to say God knows I went beyond what others might feel shameful to do,so sorry I stressed you.

Why don't you qualify here in Nigeria, work for sometime, save money, write exams that make you a prime candidate for your destination country and then you can migrate?

Secondly, why don't you work for sometime here, save some money and consider migration to other countries with clear-cut migration programs?

Thirdly, if you really want to go, you can suggest to your guarantors to sell or mortgage their landed properties to raise funds for you to go. When you work for sometime, you can refund them.

Finally, you can approach members of your Town Union, Church, religious body or wealthy members of your community for support.

Lalasticlala, this is an interesting topic. Front page would give it more viewership.

Waoooooo

The WILL is very detailed.

Every investors should have a WILL and employ a good company or Lawyer to execute the WILL instead of allowing ones relations fight over your investments.

I once asked one of my elderly clients to consider writing his Will and the man refused to call me since that day.

A colleague shared a story of how he told his Uncle to write his Will and his Uncle tongue-lashed him before walking him out of his house. Later, the said uncle dued without a Will and the children started fighting. It was my colleague they called to help them resolve and share the properties.

In this part of the world, a lot of us are yet to embrace the practice of writing Wills. We see it as a bad omen but that's grade 1 ignorance.

ukay2:
That is why WILL protects the dead and his desires for the living he left behind.

Especially if a good Trust is executing the WILL. Everybody will comply to the dead person wishes.

I now see WILL as a kind of insurance to protect ones investments after demise.

I learnt so much from Late Gani's WILL.

Gani's will is being used to teach lawyers how to draft Wills. The Nigerian Law School actually adopted Gani's Will as part of its syllabus.

Even other countries like The Gambia are now using it to teach their lawyers.

qmd24:
This is hate speech.
Please, leave DOCTORS out of this corrupt practice.
There is no reason why any doctor will connive with an unscrupulous wife for a token by inflating bills.

Professor Thomas. U. Agan the CMD of Unical Teaching Hospital was prosecuted by the Efcc for fraud.

Dr. Olufemi Omotosho, the former CMD of FMC, Owo was arraigned by the EFCC for fraud. His own is particularly funny because he got his lawyer to bribe the Efcc prosecutor and the lawyer got arrested. Both are being tried for attempting to corrupt a public officer.

sheltcon:
Those running away, I thought they are suppose to die within two weeks or so or fall critically ill. so what happen. My guess is that their sickness is not Corona virus but malaria

Not all show symptoms or fall critically ill. Their immune systems may make them withstand it but they would now infect people with weaker immune systems.

That is the danger they pose.

Damasco4u:
Hey guys, If you ready to learn fake bank alert... Dm. 3000 naira ni ooooooooo. Make anybody no come my dm for free teaching o cos i also use money learn ham ni. 0.8.1.1.6.2.3.1.3.8.3 One love

It's like you don't know the kind of thread you're in.
If SARS or IRT tracks you and picks you up, your relatives would sell everything they have to bail you and treat the bullet wound on your leg.

Pity your loved ones and avoid crime.

MondayUche1986:
Good day brothers and sisters. Please is there anyone in Uyo close to the traveling park please I want to confirm if I can get a bus going to Lagos abeg!!! Here in Eket no bus so I want to be sure they will be busses in Uyo please whoever that has a connection to contact and let me know please I want to go back to Lagos, please. But if you have any other alternative to help a brother please I want to enter Lag this week abeg

You better sit down where you are and stop thinking of jumping about.

Why sent back to Delta? Someone that should have been shot dead immediately.

Escaping from a Covid-19 treatment facility is an act of biological terrorism and he should be treated as a terrorist.

But Ganduje relaxing the lockdown in Kano is not a violation of the Presidential directive?

Hope you can see the drama between two Governors of the Northern Governors Forum? By the time this Coronavirus pandemic is over, they won't be begging anyone to embrace federalism. Either we do things with common sense or we go our separate ways.

A lot of things would change once this epidemic is over, starting from the types of leaders we elect and how we hold them accountable. Those who were defending Ganduje 2 weeks ago and insulting the NCDC boss are currently learning the hard way.

The North has always used almajiris as an advantage during elections. Now, they are pushing them all around like ludo.

Theconglomerate:
So because of this textbook definition you gave,you think you've made a total disconnect between whoever gets the title of a consultant and owning a private hospital?
How is the so called Consultant title owners not owners of private hospitals by your definition
Look I'm a realist,one who has very little interest for textbook crap.
Also,you might have the best tools and human resource to work with in a hospital but then the doctor to patient ratio runs everything.

Theconglomerate:
And this proves what?
What of patient to doctor ratio?
You might have the highest number of consultants who are inaccessible to patients in a public hospital but just a few in private hospitals who have all the time in the world to be with patients because of cost realities.
Spare me with textbook crap please I'm a realist not some deluded bookworm.

Ok

Theconglomerate:
You say they invite consultants in public hospitals and I ask you,aren't this same consultants the ones that have private hospitals all over the place?
So they give their best on consulting trips more than what they give their own hospitals?
I think you are the one that know nothing concerning how this works

Before I answer your question, let me give you small education.

A Consultant is the title of a senior hospital-based physician or surgeon who has completed all of his or her specialist training and been placed on the specialist register in their chosen speciality. Their role is entirely distinct from that of general practitioners, or GPs.

I never said public hospitals invite Consultants, I said they have Professors who are Consultants and Fellows. In the health sector, a Consultant is a title, a Fellow is the highest level of achievement in the professional body.

Remember I told you to keep quiet if you don't know something? It is to prevent situations like this.

Theconglomerate:
I'm in port-Harcourt and na chemist I dey use,I never get sickness weh carry me go hospital yet.

Then you shouldn't comment on something you have zero experience about.
