I've sat in FIRS office in Abuja, we built something to track earnings and the people at FIRS told us point blank, that they "Maritime Agents and others" will not allow us because of the money they are stealing. I won't waste time arguing with anyone, but I won't discourage our patriotic members because we need a place to come back to with our investments. Everybody wins, Diasporians contribute vastly to the development of the country. some build, some provide resources, roles dey for everyone. Nigeria is a shithole and that's a fact, you need to bribe your way now to get anything Visa appointment, drivers license, Passport or even NIN /PVC so what are we talking about.

if you step one feet in abroad, you would use your hand, brush and mop and clean all your post in the thread. Even the government brought out a report that fdi has fallen to mere 1 billion dollars. We are just oil and gas away from turning into sri lanka. That inflation rate you are talking about, their minimum wage is increasing with the inflation rate. Only lazy and entitled people complain of inflation rate. Please put your interest first in everything you do, how can you pay tax and mr agf will steal 80 billion of it and you are here talking about cursing the country.

I genuinely hope those Western countries you unpatriotic lots flee to start implementing stricter immigration laws and deport the rest of you

Imagine if US citizens were insulting and hating on their country when they first got independence, do you think they will be where they are today ?

DrLevi:
You seriously call the $1M and $2M you see on twitter once ever quarter, "foreign investment daily"
The moment you said "Banks are responsible for FX" you ended this conversation.

Let people do what they want
If you want to build, build.
If they want to run, it's a fundamental human right, they should

Thank you. Looking forward to what you build man

I have planned in mind Mauritius or Portugal. Mauritius rent is cheaper and food, and the internet is cheaper than Nigeria when I was there and faster.

Portugal has cheaper rent and is in the EU.

DrLevi:
Build what exactly?

We can't even attract Foreign investments because of how everything in the country is. From openly corrupt officials, terrible laws, incessant power issues, slow internet, exchange rate... lets not talk about insecurity, 40 people murdered in a church and no one has been arrested.
You can't build a talent city with what is the current government

I mean, what are you building when your ATM can't pay for a simple VM instance + managed mongodb instance?

Today, no Naira card can pay for the $25 google play store fee, let alone the $99 apple store fee

Seriously, don't take this thread to where we've already been with so many threads already. These facts are in our faces and still you seem to have some unnecessary hope

I can bet with my salary that this fellow will vote for Agbado and cassava come 2023.

hendryjhon:
I am unable to understand that what are you saying. I will consult with my tax consultant that I hired from Coast One Tax Group to understand this thing.

qtguru:
I hear you.

you do know African diasporans are still the major reasons why we have a supply of dollars. I don't blame you for being patriotic but we are fed up, maybe you people can change things, while we just send money back home.

DrLevi:
This isn't the place.

If you have a problem with him, take it up with him in another thread

It's that simple... THIS ISN'T THE PLACE

Iamyemmie:
No he has been abroad from the beginning
When we met he came home for Christmas

A wild animal in Europe is well fed by humans. A wild one in Africa is food for humans.

I'm neither for nor against Tensa's string opinions about Nigeria. But this isn't a thread about that. And you picking up his strong dislike about paying tax and making it a topic was kind of out of line. We all don't have to love Nigeria. Or hate it. I no dey pay shishi tax. Government have not done anything with the one I paid. Make dem hold dem self laidat

MadarasBlade:
Honestly i don't understand, if you're not talking about coding and shit just stfu.

qtguru:
I agree with Tenza, The leaders are not patriotic, I love Nigeria, but this country is a shithole. hence why the discussion is the subject at heart, let's leave talk of patriotism and all that and just focus on porting out.

DrLevi:
This isn't the politics section. Please take your patriotism to the politics section or another thread

What is it with Nigerians and not following simple rules?

DO NOT RUIN THE THREAD WITH YOUR NONSENSE!
