Mehn!

There is no way you can claim these properties without paying inheritance tax of 40% after deduction of any available nil rate band..and that is where I see a major problem. Hehe..The UK doesn't joke with inheritance tax, unlike Nigeria where you can inherit property worth billions and you have no tax to pay on them whatsoever.

Nigeria is a good country, we just don't know. All we need is a change of attitude..for we are all bad as a people

I mentioned nil rate band na, Mr oversabi..you and I know that most estates are worth more than the normal and resident nil rate band combined. Plus if it was left for the spouse which is exempt, the spouses would have been contacted and the owners names wouldnt have been published..talk another

Govt collects tax on inheritance in Nigeria

Some do not have legal immigration papers to travel. Some that have immigration papers do not have money for the trip to Nigeria. Some that have families cannot afford to come at once due to money, so it is either the father comes this year with one of the children and the mother comes next year with another one of their children.

As it is tough in Nigeria, it could be very tough over there.

This guy breaks laws, our police threatened to arrest and nothing was done till date. If other guys had done half of what Portable has been accused of, he would have been in court. Different laws for different people.

Till this guy, who believes he is above the laws, maims or kills someone, people will continue to find his acts amusing. The laws need to take its course on this guy and if discovers that something his wrong with him mentally, should be referred to a psychiatry before he does the unthinkable, either to himself or others.

It is fake eviction

Anytime big brother's cash cows are about to be evicted, Big Brother turns it to "fake" eviction. Once Big brother's cash cows is the 2nd to be evicted, Big brother will rather evict just 1 person that day.

Fraud!

Jashub:
Your projected reports that have nothing to do with the current facts on ground, which is why I called your writeup wishful thinking .

And yes, I do read news reports from corrupt mainstream media (aka CNN and BBC) because I always like to entertain myself with their lies first before making research on why they choose to compromise on their reportage (which is always in a manner that is inconsistent) .

Secondly, why should I give you the source of my info when you already agreed that what I said is true ?

I rest my case here. Those who will be reading this thread in the future can easily situate us. Others can read the report that you call "projected" and draw their conclusion. Moreso, you have condemned BBC, CNN and AL jazeera and yet you claimed you watch and read them only for fun. Then, you claimed that you couldn't reveal source of your information as if it was one nuclear weapon secret.

Well, I didn't agree with all you wrote. I was honest enough to agree with you on a point you raised (which you termed Fact 1) and I gave you the reason for it. I disagreed with you on your Fact 2 and Fact 3. You could not mention your source because there was NO source. You only wanted to make people agree with you based on your own feelings without any evidence.

I wish you luck.

Jashub:
I watch and read balance reports and I evaluate those reports with the facts on ground . And as it stand , all what you are saying are just predictions/projections of the likelihood of Russia having an economic crisis.

But the reality here, is that those projections do not fit in with the current realities on ground . Rather , they are only well crafted forms of wishful thinking.

I didn't write based on projection. You only picked what's convenient for you. I made mention of just one thing which has not happened yet, and that is the Maritime Insurance part. You ignored the rest of my write up, probably because you did not have evidential facts to counter my points.

You wrote that you watch and read balanced reports after you have condemned CNN, BBC and AL Jazeera. Can you please point me to these reports you are reading which justifies your position? I will love to read them as well. Many thanks as I await your prompt response.

Jashub:
Oga, Aljazeera and CNN are still part of the corrupt mainstream media that enjoys filtering news to the detriment of the populace . So let us follow the facts that are currently on ground without us subscribing to emotions and propaganda reports .

Fact number 1:

There is an energy crisis in Europe and America (fact)...and Russia is the cause of that crisis .

Fact number 2:

The sanctions we thought would crumble the Ruble and make Russians die of hunger has only turned out to be the opposite. The Russian Ruble is rising ...and that is because Russia demanded that all services including crude be bought in Rubles .(fact)

Fact number 3:

Asian countries like India, Pakistan , Vietnam and co are willing to buy Russian crude on Russian terms and conditions . This move will toss all influences the EU's maritime has on Russian supply to Asia (fact)

As it stands , the EU is not in a position to make demands on Russia

Your Fact 1. You are very correct. That is no brainer since EU has over relied on Russia for gas. It will take some times before they are independent.

Your Fact 2: You are wrong. Ruble is NOT rising solely because Russia demands payment for its oil in Ruble. Russian Government is ARTIFICIALLY propping up the rubles using various interventionist means. It is NOT sustainable in the long term. You can read this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/2167447/how-russia-defended-the-ruble-from-ukraine-war-sanctions/amp/
Infact, due to the fact that Russia can not get enough buyers for its gas, Russia is now flaring off $10 Million worth of gas daily.

Your Fact 3: This is not totally correct. These countries you mentioned want to buy discounted oil from Russia. They cannot pay the same price EU is paying. Moreso, it requires complex logistics to transport to these countries with attendant associated cost. All these mean inflow to Russia will be drastically reduced. And like I said, 90% of maritime insurance is done by EU, if the EU member states agree to withdraw insurance for non-EU countries, that will be a major hit to Russia.

PS: May I advise that you cannot condemn all news channels because they are not saying what you hope for. We cannot take your opinion as the source of the truth. Your opinion is not tenable in any court of law. Condemning Al jazeera, BBC and CNN is not a way to go. What will you rather allow us to watch?

Jashub:
Oga, there was an agreement between the US and Russia . And that agreement was for NATO not to expand into eastern Europe. Watch the video and learn something ;

https://fb.watch/ftCaKOtBmc/

Even Gorbachev who was the then president of the Soviet Union said there was NO agreement.

Read this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2014/11/06/did-nato-promise-not-to-enlarge-gorbachev-says-no/amp/

Jashub:
Oga, the energy crisis in Europe just told us that Russia is capable of handling the ludicrous sanctions being placed. Further more, the demand for Russian crude is always there on the international market ...and countries in Asia are now willing to play ball with Russia to meet up with the gaps the Europeans left , so how can you say that they cannot afford to pay for military hardware and sustain their economy when in fact the Ruble keeps appreciating like garri soaked in water ? And please dont say you buy that bullishit report of the US that says "Russia is buying supplies for North Korea"

I made some references to some resources on the web for you. Try and read them. More so I read and watch balanced news...CNN, BBC and Al Jazeera. They all supported the position I made. Or can we say Al Jazeera is biased too?. You are talking about demand for Russia oil. It requires a lot of logistics and those countries are only willing to buy at discounted prices. Moreso, EU is flirting with the idea of not insuring Russia oil to non-eu destination. Remember that 90% of insurer of maritime transport is from EU, if the EU members agree on this eventually, it will be a disaster for the Russia federation again.

Jashub:
Oga, let no one deceive you: Russia is winning the war in Ukraine and there is nothing the US or her allies can do about it. The economic sanctions set by the US and her unwise allies only wounded many European countries and left them in a series of energy crisis that promises to ridicule every fiber in the economies of those European nations .


Further more the Ruble has been strengthened, and that is because Russia now sells her oil in Rubles . As we speak, the Russian economy is growing ; the demand for Russian oil for energy will always be there ; which only makes the Russian economy grow irrespective of whatever sanctions the west imposes.

Your position is laughable. The Russian Rubble is being artificially propped up by the Russian Government using various interventionist approaches which is not sustainable in the long haul. Subject Rubble to natural rule of economics, then you will see a weakened currency. But ask yourself, for how long can Russia govt defends the Rubble artificially?

One more thing, the effect of the sanctions is not meant to be immediate. It will creep in and destroy the Russia economy. Even Putin admits this fact in one of his speeches. The effects of the sanctions are already being felt in the military, where they couldn't manufacture more weapons due to unavailability of spare parts from EU. It is being felt in the Russia economy with high inflation and shrinking GDP. Read it here: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infographics/impact-sanctions-russian-economy/

Hmmm, the end of an era.

God console all she left behind and help the new King to uphold her legacy.

Would all of us currently alive see a British Queen again?

The next three line of succession are men.

I very much doubt it. Our generation will only witness the reign of kings.

A sad day in the United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth was an epitome of class and grace.

If we want Nigeria to move forward, excesses like this must be contained. What economic values do these kings have ?. Marrying recklessly on free handout from the Government. They live opulent life, oppress the poor and not even focused on their traditional roles.

Sadly, it has been turned to tribal wars. This should cut across the entire nation.

All these channels we are wasting state's funds is not nice, it needs to be blocked.

jeromestarks:
Can you attest for any of your girlfriends that she will be able to lead your local government?

You should ask yourself the same question before you talk about 3rd party. Are you currently the LG Chairman, Councillor, Federal or State House of Assembly? If the question is no, you have no moral standing to be asking this type of question.

I will let your question pass.

jeromestarks:
My kinda woman. Intelligent, beautiful, elegant and sexy.
Young people are leading great nations all over the world but Nigerians decide to stick with old people.
Modified:

No Nigeria girl at her age will reason the way Truss reasons.
Do you know that this woman has been leading since age 19?
19 year old nija girl is thinking of how to get money from a guy or how to increase the likes on her Facebook page. Shame on our girls.
Most of these girls in their 30s today did nothing when they were young. All they did (and still do) is thinking how their pvssy can get them a man.

A happy home produces mentally stable children who can lead the world. To have stable home do no marry a woman you did not disvirgin else you will be training someone else's child.

Once your woman starts misbehaving, know that she has met another man. No woman will joke with the only man in her life.

If you marry a woman who has ex just know that she will fvck her ex the moment he shows up.

Finally, fvck any girl you want but when you're ready to settle down, find a virgin.

Stop insulting lady. Leadership is not by age but quality. Truss studied in an elite university, Oxford. This also applies to men. Not ladies ago. We are having dearths of quality leadership in Nigeria.

tishbite42:
Fury and Usyk are in a class of their own - skillful fighters.
AJ, Ruiz and Wilder are the same thing - heavy punchers. Once they can't KO, they have lost the match because they can't go the distance.
AJ and Wilder are like Mike Tyson; they came up too fast.

I agree with you but AJ and Wilder are arguably five steps down the steps to Iron Mike Tyson.

PS: If you quoted me and I didnt respond to you, just understand you are NOT worth the trouble. I don't throw stones at every dogs that bark.

MonsieurX:
Tyson Fury should follow up by talking to his management, AJ already said this on his Twitter. AJ has never ran from Fury, in fact he has always called him out... Their fighting style is more compatible and I can imagine AJ securing a win... (If he trains like his life depends on it)

Their fighting style is not compatible. Fury is quite skillful. He has the same skillset like Usyk.

kristonium:
The guy knows he will flog AJ few seconds in round one.

I still don't know how AJ lost his confidence so quick!

Same person who defeated Klitschko??

That Klitschko was not in his prime then. AJ is not a skillful fighter. He even said it to Usyk when he asked how did Usyk defeat him when he (AJ) was the stronger person. AJ then admitted it was Usyk's skill that got him beaten.

This guy - Fury - will ruin AJ's career. He should just avoid him. Fury is only baiting him to destroy his waning confidence.

UK is financially in a very serious mess and the new PM wants to still cut Taxes. This will provide immediate relief but later usher in inflation of immense proportion. I will support Sunak's view and he seems more sound than Truss in economics, at least going by the debate I watched, though Sunak idea will bring pain too.

This is the wrong time for anyone to wish to be the UK Prime Minister. I wish her luck

Heathrow44:
LOL, UK's economy that is built on Russian's money, too many dirty money in d UK, They enjoy foreign investors buying their properties and investing in London, there's even a Innovation Visa for PEPs that can invest up to £50,000(N40,000,000) in d UK, if u show proof of funds dat u can invest such money there, Britain is going to continue to do eye service to this things cos it works in their favour, this is d reason why prices of houses are so high, accommodation is so damn high 4 d Local brits, foreign investors has invaded d UK real estate business, taken over lands from brits and sell this houses to them at huge prices, If Nigeria hasn't taken any serious steps to those already mentioned in d Pandora report, what makes u think UK would close its economy to such graceful investors?

Thoughtfully written

This FG is weak. Advertise their positions. Bring in individuals that are ready to impact the students with modern knowledge.

Most of these set of lecturers are greedy, incompetent, selfish and using the students as shields.

July 29h or June 29th? Cos people like myself who did July 4th haven’t heard anything. So, I don’t think July 29th would have heard anything.

Did biometric on the 22 June. Received email notification on Friday, 26th. Picked up passport with visa today. No paid email sent. This info should give you an idea of when you might likely get a feedback.

Baba no be Shalaye FC fan, those that will perish will surely perish, no need for long explanation.

But God actually directed the believers to seek for the "lost sheep".

Ralphlauren:
Honestly, that guy is just a huge joke.

I know for a fact (I have been on this site that long) that he had no pathway to UK settlement hence why he moved to Canada.

I get why his bitter and angry with the UK immigration system but its still no reason to peddle falsehood

paradigmshift:
know God for yourself and leave pastors alone o

Thanks and I appreciate you.

Still, I can say I am 100% convinced. Situations at times make me doubt things. I really wish and pray to God to wholly reveal himself to him. Why will pandemic destroy the whole land and no one can uccessfully intervene? Why would people die right in church due to the pandemics? I dont get it.

Sometimes, I feel religion is used to control people from committing crimes by instilling the fears of God in them and by telling them hell and heaven exist. My feeling, I am not saying it is correct.

I am a Christian and I know that heaven is described so beautifully in the book of Revelation. The roads are lined with all precious metals. And the bible even says that "Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard" what God prepares for his own people.

However, I have a reservation. Most of these pastors preach this to us from the altar but they behave like this earth is where it starts and ends. They do not even wish to experience this heaven. One would expect them to be convinced to the point that their hearts will be fixed towards heaven at all the times but no, that is not the case. If by the behaviour, it shows they are nit convinced of what they are preaching, I feel something is obviously wrong somewhere.

I must tell you, it makes me doubt the existence of heaven a little bit.

Ralphlauren:
Auditing in any big 4 in any part of the world is quite stressful. It's not limited to UK alone. That said, amongst the big 4 and when compared with other consultancies like mckinsey, KPMG is a stressful place to work - again, they've gained this reputation globally.

That said, UK tier 2 skilled visa does NOT stop anyone from changing roles (audit to non audit) or from changing employers.

99% of Nigerians leaving UK for Canada have not acquired their citizenship, have no clear pathway to citizenship or they are impatient to wait the average 6 years it takes to become a naturalised UK citizen.

@RalphLauren,Thank you my brother. Tell them!. Another bubble buster. We wont rest till we rid this thread of total misinformation and disinformation. "My friend this, my friend that" needs to stop. We wont allow people to be misled. We wont allow people to leverage on this thread to boost their own deflated egos. Type out the fact and rest.

Sadly enough, these are the individuals some people here rely on to make their own decisions regarding relocation. Just pathetic!
Happy Monday folks

Don’t mind him, anyone who is tech person knows no company is paying them software engineering positions for 550k or 350k.

Usually people are impressed with numbers, Nigerians love fairy tale stories and that’s why their friends feeds them with it.

He was even saying "At my level bla bla bla". Nigerians and confidently saying nonsense are like 5 and 6.

Thank you, sir. Glad individuals with genuine information are coming to this thread to bust bubbles. I don't understand why people come on public domain to throw figures around. Any story you hear with the insertion - "my friends this and that" - mostly end up being a falsehood.

NuCypher:
Okay, time for the twists and turns. but I get your time today.

You said and I quote:


I said:



I know you need a detailed explanation because you don't know these things and are gullible enough to swallow what your "friend" told you. So, I'll explain to you.

He doesn't make $345k. He very likely makes $150-180k. Do you see the difference? And that's gross too, not net. It will be taxed.
The rest of that $345k is comprised of stock which is paid out over a definite period as long your "friend" stays on in the company. Which means it's vested, in case you don't know. If he leaves at any time, he loses his right to the stocks. Not to mention the stocks are subject to the ups and downs of the stock market. Some of it is also sign-on, which is also paid in chunks over a definite period. So, your friend doesn't make $345k (continuous tense, in case you miss the English). On the regular, he makes way less, given that's just total comp, some of which is spread over several years, conditional on his continued stay at the company.

I know you will still come back with your half-thought arguments. But this is the last I'm saying on this. Many of you Nigerians are just too easily impressed once somebody starts throwing numbers at you that you don't even know the details of.

@NuCypher Can I just hug you? You are well exposed. Bubbles buster

ccjoe:
hmm..so wat shud I do now..watz d solution, letz not dwell on d past..

You do not have to marry her if you do not love her enough for such. If you are certain the baby is yours, do your bits on the child. If you love the lady enough, marry her, and start a life.

whizqueen:
Right! Thank you

Thank you for guiding people to make an informed decision. I understand you are not bashing the country you live, rather you are trying to show the pitfalls for people to consider before they make the life-changing decision to relocate. Relocation to any country is not bad, but it becomes a problem when people have unrealistic expectations.

Ignore individuals calling for your heads, you have a sizable numbers here cheering you on. God bless you a lot!

Lonepair1:
so Canada is better than UAE for someone working and earning online
Sense is indeed far from you

@LonePair1 I have an advice for you. It is not every dog that barks that you throw stones at. You do not need to join issues with fools. I have left this thread since yesternite and was still shocked the kind of emotion it has generated. When some people are acting like this over a country they "adopt", what will the genuine citizens of the country do? Most Nigerians always ignorantly overdo wherever they are. Classic case of wannabes.

Canada is a beautiful country and economically viable but the exaggeration is out of this world. Is it not the same Canada that California ALONE is richer than? Is it not the same Canada that New York economy ALONE is bigger than? Is it not the same Canada that Texas economy ALONE dwarfs.

Let that boy continue to deceive himself.

And for all saying I insulted him so much, you are so biased. We were having civil discourse before he became suddenly abusive, and from that point on, his descent into everlasting abyss started. Some people are in Nigeria balling big. It is not about your location , rather the value you possess.

But when you see someone that the biggest achievement he has in his lifetime is travelling to a particular location, such people behave in the way the boy has been behaving.

@Lonepair, save your energy for better things.
