Taxpayers are funding the extravagant lifestyle of these monarchs across Nigeria which add no value.

What is their roles exactly?

Custodian of artefacts and traditions? Our Museums can do that.

They are living large on people's wealth and breeding like rabbits. That Oluwo's own is worse, a crazy, criminal installed as King.

What message are we passing to the younger generation. Someone with a criminal record, made king, and the Governor of Osun refused to dethrone him.

LOVEGINO:
na dis kind job person dey fyn.

Very available, especially if you are into tech and you are well skilled.

This is car talk section. Cars strictly

I am in Nigeria at the moment. I have solar panel wired up to power everything in my house.

I work remotely and I have not gone out last week for instance.

I bought 30k fuel for the past 2months. I don't feel the fuel situation.

Different needs for different people.

This is a weird question.

People have different needs for fuel. What exactly is the objectives of your question?

Some people work remotely, hardly go out and have solar panel wired up, their fuel consumption will be low.

Some do transportation business, fuel consumption will be high.

Some run generator for business but make profit from their businesses to cater for the cost of fuel.

Gandrova:
It seems you are defending the Government on tax.pls kindly show us one development the Government have made with the nonsense tax they have collected from poor Masses.
Stop comparing developed Nations with Nigeria

All the subsidies you have been enjoying in the past from education to dollars to fuel to pilgrimage etc come partly from taxes.

PlanetZero:
Lol. Stop promising. Just do

“Hope” is the greatest tool for survival.

RZArecta:
The only thing these fôols know is taxing the hell out of massively impoverished populace then, share some bags of rice

The so-called saner climes you all reference rely on taxes to build their infrastructure.

You want to be like Dubai, US , UK but you are not ready to follow their models.

Like I have mentioned on this thread, US govt taxes tip - this means that if you go to restaurants or bar and you give the person that serves you little money, say 5USD, the US govt will collect tax on that 5 dollars.

Imagine if Nigeria govt proposes that, all hell will let loose.

Sukakma:
And some people are criticizing Donald Trump for promising to do the same if elected

Trump was just blabbing.

Where will the US get the resources and money to fund such large deportation?

Elon Musk is the worst billionaire ever.

Bill gates that halved all its savings gave this guy a chance.

tensazangetsu20:
There are no economic reforms going on. Reforms should make your lives better and not worst. Do you think citizens of other countries will stand by while their lives get worst and their government claims they are reforming the economy. Nigeria is dead and buried under tinubu. I only pity children being born in Nigeria because the future is super bleak

Do you know what is going on in a country called ....... ARGENTINA ?

Sleepy Trump

spiSeyi:
Whaooow it's my FTC on Nland as a tech guy I am always ashamed to tell my foreign clients that there's no light whenever there's a need for Video Chat in the midnight.
When will Nigeria grow beyond this what even is not happening in Togo , could you imagine that Togolese enjoy more electricity than Lagos state and Nigeria GRAs .
Meanwhile, If you have interest in any tech skills just send me a message make I show you road

Send an email to Samuel.afolabi@ultimatecybervision.com.ng if you are interested

Since you have foreign clients, you should be able to afford solar panel to power your gadgets.

Sometimes I wonder why the governors don’t publish their budget. If it’s truly our money, we deserve to see how it’s planned to be spent.

Governors are the most evil in Nigeria but Nigerians always skip them to attack the presidency.

See how everyone was blaming "uncle" without having a second thought of what could happen medically to the guy.

Africans are too narrow minded.

You are an ignoramus.

You are comparing hypersonic missiles with nuclear weapon.

Do you even know what hypersonic missile is ?

These are the so called “educated”, setting house on fire. The students will most probably be levied to rebuild the house.

What is the value and quality of their education.

Was this house to approach and resolve issue if they have irrefutable evidences?

Are they better than those who do not have western education?

They killed him and even seized his body.

Iran will be so scared as Israel is gradually having their time to settle the account

When a 2 billion B-2 spirit stealth bomber comes into play, know that something is cooking.

Its last combat mission was in 2017 and capable of carrying far heavier payload.

Iran was being sent a very clear message here.

If only Tinubu Government has picked up Igboho when he was freed from Cotonou to answer to his crime in Nigeria, he wouldn't have become this global nuisance.

I am a Yoruba and Igboho cannot force Yoruba nation on me. I have my right to determine where I want to be, just like Igboho.

If anybody will fight for a Yoruba Nation, it is not that political thug, miscreants who has the blood of many people in his hands.

cococandy:
Bro what? At no point in this conversation did we start to differentiate between citizens versus non citizens. Any LEGAL immigrant is allowed to work and their income in factored into the statistics. I was making more than average income before I became a citizen. So were many others. As long as you’re legally and have a residence permit, you have the ability to work and earn income. And you don’t get paid higher based on your citizenship status. If anyone is shifting the goal post now, it’s you.
$60k/yr is a little over $28/hr. You literally said “how many nigerians” make that. Thereby insinuating that there aren’t that many. I was simply letting you know that’s a very normal income accessible to most Nigerian immigrants. Now you are shifting the goal posts to “immigrants without citizenship”. Oh please. Whoever said that everyone gets to become middle class the moment they step off the plane? You have to work for it but the opportunities are there. No one said otherwise.

It's you that cited a reference that referred ONLY to Nigerian-American. We are discussing about Nigerian Immigrants alone. You should have cited a reference that encompasses both the immigrants AND the Nigerian-American.

I was not shifting any goal post, it was you that referenced a subset of what was being discussed.

cococandy:
Your last paragraph is an example of why I said you’re overly negative. Because I said something that’s true, you’re insinuating that if given the chance, I’d imply money grows on trees. Thereby calling me a liar but not so outrightly. Anyway moving on.

So you’re going to say with your chest of chests that average Nigerian immigrants don’t make 60k a year individually?

Plumbers, truck drivers, construction workers, low paid healthcare workers, business owners make that. Pls say something else.

You are running around to justify your position. Your reference referred to "Nigerian Americans, we are talking about Nigerian immigrants who are yet to have citizenship.

Why comprehension is so difficult for you, I dont understand.

There are immigrants making it, there are Nigerian American making it. Choose your path of travelling based on your personal circumstance. What is so hard for you to understand in this?

Krismas:
better wakeup from ur daydreaming. This is real stuff. If Israel hit Iran, Israel will be leveled. There is no time to think. The attack will happen at the same time Israel is attacking. Forgot ur theory, it’s a LIE

If iran is that powerful, why are they jumping from one arab nation to another seeking their support in case of attack?

God1000:
When you have to fight someone you are afraid of, I think Israel wants to drag the United States into war with Iran, they also want the American people to pay the bill from their pockets.

They surely need US assistance to be able to strike Iran

I will never support oppressors, Iran has the right to defend itself too

Call me whatever you like, but nobody, no country should be allowed to act with so much impunity, we need the balance of power

Do you ever blame Hezbollah who use humans as shields, who fire into Israel from human communities?

cococandy:
Your post that I responded to was specifically about USA. Hence my comment



This is readily available information. Also I cannot use myself or my friends or my family as example because to you that’s going to be anecdotal. The same way Ibe’s example is also anecdotal to you. You have to use public information and that’s readily available.


Not only IT. In business and healthcare and govt jobs. Each person making $60k is already a family of $120k a year. That’s literally less than the norm for professionals.
most immigrants families make it.


I agree. No one should make poorly planned moves especially across the continent. It’s not for everyone and one’s situation should be the determining factor. I’m not team japa by all means or anti japa.

I don’t over exaggerate. If anything I’ll understate the figure so I don’t create high expectations. But you tend to be overly negative hence my comment about discouraging people.

I do not really understand how to put it to you again.

In all my post, i emphasised there are Nigerians making it, and there are some who do not make it. I consistently maintained that your individual's circumstance will determine your journey.

Unfortunately, once people do not see it your way, you start giving them names. What do you mean by saying I am "overly negative"? Every statistics your poured out was based on your assumptions and not hard facts. You seem educated and I would expect that you would know how to back up your claims with empirical facts.

You were tossing figures likes beancake - 60KUSD, 120K USD as if that is what almost every one earns. Yes, Nigerians are among those migrants who are very educated in the US but knowing how that translates to earning for the family is quite complex and there is no data that will give you conclusion on that. I was surprised when you typed that it was a mater of public information. Pull it off, let's see your source for reference.

You are assuming. You are over promising. Let everyone make their own determination without you sweet talking them. Afterall, if things go south, you wont be there to lend them a hand.

Thank God I live abroad and in Nigeria, you would have told me dollars are grown on the tree.

cococandy:
Most Nigerian migrant families in the USA are middle class.What are you talking about?

And if both partners work, then they are most likely upper middle class.

Realistically inflation makes it such that $100k isn’t what it used to be 10 years ago. Still any family making over $150k a year is comfortably middle class. And that’s less than what two professionals make together in year. Pls stop discouraging people

#

You are upending the discourse.

One, when we say "abroad", it does not have to be the US alone.

Two, you have not shown with proof how many Nigerian family (husband plus wife) makes over 150k USD per annum. The data you referenced is relevant to a 3-member household - a father, a mum and a child. You need to consider that too.

In IT, if you are skilled, a single individual actually makes over 120 USD per annum but how many people fall into that class.

Yes there are professionals making money. I am not arguing that but holistically speaking how many people make it?

I am not discouraging anyone - either you go abroad or not, it does not affect me in anyway. I am only saying, evaluate your current situation carefully and make an INFORMED decision. How does that translate to discouraging people?

If you accuse me of discouraging others, I will accuse you of over exaggeration.

Henryfocoyo:
70% US citizen don't have that money in their savings unless the tech guys or other big business owners.
Nigeria just say rubbish, them no get 1 Naira for their account yeye people

So correct!

Love800:
What about Nigeria that you work all your life and still cant attain basic amenities!
Atleast in abroad, you are certain of a good life, if you work hard.

Your "work hard" is mostly slaving.

A second hand citizen in a foreign land.

Whatever you enjoy over there, I provide for myself in Nigeria at a relatively cheaper cost.

And I am still relevant over there.

Stop talking down your own country, it is a form of insanity.

Love800:
Paycheck to paycheck, you are very correct on this one.

You forgot to add that they enjoy social amenities and a good/working environment. This one is the most priority.

You are living rich in Nigeria with insecurities around your riches. You are poor!

You are correct on good/working environment.

The same "social amenities" you came online to cry over; same things that you say make you live below poverty line due to how much you pay for bills.

Are there not people living in darkness due to the fact that they cannot afford electricity bills? Are there no more homeless in your "paradise" ? Are there not poor people who live on handouts ? Are there not unemployment?

I will expect your new "paradise" will be absolutely perfect.

And let me let you know, I enjoy the two worlds. The foreign passports that you are chasing, I have 2 in different western countries; these are countries you will kill for to obtain just 1.

That wont stop me from telling others the reality. Abroad is a step up for some and step down for some. Evaluate and choose carefully is all I preach here.

So, Rich boy, what have you accomplished in all your waka waka across the world? And are you saying all western countries are safer than Nigeria, US especially comes to mind.

Primate Ayodele, always seeing shits as vision

Why are they sensationalising this issue.

See how Reps have turned it to drama. Why are they going to the Prison?

Naturally, that place they are visiting should be homes to most of them.

Set of irresponsible people. If average Nigerians have been accused of the same thing Bobrisky was accused, such person would be back in prison.

Would Rep visit the prison because of one Musa, selling orange in Kano State or one Emeka in Ebonyi or Wale in Ekiti?.

One set of rule for the poor while another set of rule exists for the rich.
