I don’t see her getting out of this mess anytime soon. Even if she has a point, they’ll definitely find a way to flip the narrative against her.

But on a more serious note, we all know many of our police officers are completely unprofessional, but that still doesn't justify getting into a physical fight with them. There are better ways to handle these things without putting yourself in a tight corner.
she has flipped the narrative by her self sad sad sad

Rindo69:
What you have described under PAYE is incorrect or rather not very clear.


You do not pay 15% on your salary if you earn between 800k and 3m. You pay 15% on what is leftover after deducting the tax free earnings.

So if you earn 800k, as you stated, you pay 0 tax. However, if you earn 850k, [b]you only pay 15% on the 50k [/b]and not on the 850k . And if you earn 3m you pay 15% on the 2.2m not on 3m.

You get can additional tax relief if you rent . You get 20% of your annual rent deducted as well. So if you earn 900k, you remove the 800k tax free allowance . If you live in a 1m naira rental property, you deduct 20% of 1m which is 200k so if you earn 900k, you pay no tax.

Note that the rental deduction is up to a maximum of 500k....so even if you pay 4m rental, you dont get 800k deduction, you get only 500k.

Now what if you earn 5m...first you deduct 800k. You have 4.2m left. You then pay 15% on the next 2.2m and then 18% on the remaining 2m...and so on. So your salary is taxed in two different percentages. So 5m salary doesnt mean you pay 18% tax outright but 15% on the 2.2m and 18%on the remaining 2m.
if you check the Write up well, check Q. 15
you will see : NEXT 2.2 M @ 15% : that is same as what you are saying bro. Na just English. grin

men cannot abandon their job, but men should find time for family instead of friends. Look at every beer parlour, it is full of men and their friends, yet men don't abandon their job because of that. So men should spend that time with their kids instead. Same thing goes with football, watch it at home with your family to bond, it is better, but may not be as interesting as watching with friends, but we should focus on family time. This is thought.
hahahahahhahahahah

Huh... I don't know what it'll be like. But I'm sure I'll prefer to kick jerrycan if I'm ever reduced to that. What's the point of living? I was once dependent
on mummy and daddy because I couldn't even think for myself let alone handle normal human matters. So after being able to take care of myself and others, I'll now let my own Royal Self revert to such helplessness? I might not tell anyone but I'll surely exit myself from existence...

I know I'm very casual with things like that as I've explored it before just to check something about myself back when I was younger.
hmmm. i understand that feeling...
that means you Hate being a burden to others....

I am surprised many male nairalanders are even blaming the men thank God many of you be man too and you go old I pray you no go jam manipulate wives and seriously seun needs to do something about this spam bot that will just be banning people anyhow if not your forum members will reduce drastically imagine one can't express herself again even when your comment had no insults you will be banned!

Back to the topic I am a woman and I wonder how a Dad whose job description doesn't permit him closing before 7 will bond with the kids on weekdays if not only on weekend my mum was a retired teacher later became a principal who closes by 2:30 to 3 at times while my dad a lecturer and sometimes Hod closes by 6 and even after that organises meetings and seminars too so who will have time to bond with the kids more if the job description were reversed won't it be our dad who will bond with us more? still doesn't make my mom not loving us too especially as my mum also have holidays which will make her available to the kids more compared to my dad who even in his 8 years of lecturing I didn't think he had sabbatical more than 3 times and that was to further his studies

It's the job of a good wife to still impart in the kids that despite their dads job schedule doesn't allow him have enough time doesn't mean he isn't still caring for them more kids value things that are physical to them even though it's minute and perishable than more important things that will last more and will better their future my mom buys clothes and shoes for us yet we we will appreciate it more and even complained that my dad don't do this for us my mom will then caution us that so our dad who pays our school fees,buy books,take us for medical care ,and buys foodstuffs don't also care for us?or are they not even more important than shoes and clothes that will fade and tear and that we should always appreciate him the more also but you know some other wife's will never correct their kids and let them assume their father isn't loving or caring to them?
I am a mom now also and I understand better I take care of both my parents even my dad more because I understood his sacrifices for us.

even when he started living with an hereditary delibitating illness which exhausted him and was later involuntarily retired,was owed his pension and arrears for few years before he was paid and my mum became the sole breadwinner she never made it known that all the tuition fees and materials she bought for us while in the higher institutions didn't come from my dad, even though we knew the reality then never did she rub it on his face or let it potray to her own family.
my mum could never leave her husby and travel for a week even when we had grown up and could cook she could never travel then more than a week probably because they are destined for each other when my brother wanted to name his son in Ibadan and my mum was invited both my parents couldn't go because of dads health and he couldn't drive his car at a long distance again I even thought my mum will stay like 3 weeks to familiarize with the baby mbah o after 6 days she ran back to ekiti though her in-law (my brothers wife mum) was there too despite she knew I and our last born was with my dad then: we were keeping him company and still taking care of him we were even old enough to be married too then oo

my mum will warn us that if any of us is abroad and wants her to come visit or live permanently she isn't going without her husband but many of our nowadays mother's can never do that how can you abandon your man at old age to go live with your kids?if I use the correct word now bot will ban me and it isn't as if it's because she was my dad's only wife even that was how her grandmother whom she took after her character was she was loving,loyal,and devoted till the end and she wasnt her great grandpa's only wife.
society isn't fair on men so I prefer they even marry more than a wife at least all of them won't neglect him for the kids at old age

I pray my son marries someone who will love him unconditionally as my mom loves my dad so also should you nairaland men pray to marry a woman like my mum who is also wise may you not jam a manipulative,unfeeling,self centered woman who will render all your sacrifices on your kids as a waste!!

I enjoyed your unbiased contribution. I'm for polygamy but if it doesn't work out, I'm equally open to adoption. I have been thinking about the two in recent time. I want kids in my house for as long as I can train and handle them
To train , na money o

school, transport, feeding, medicals, including your own at old age too
its not an easy task financially

Its normal na.

Hope you're treating ya own father differently?

Personally, I don't think I mind it all. I've always been one that loves being alone. I might miss someone but to constantly have people around me? It's somehow na.... When I can't get things done and will be needing someone all the time, will be when I'll expire. Gods forbid badt thing..

Kobo said some strange people studied whatever and their conclusion is to blame men. Chai.... Men don suffer for these people hands...
living alone is really nice. But the only Worry is ill heath.

I remember a Scene at the general hospital some time ago....

The man was alone on Admission (on bed, cannot move)....
The nurses were asking him.... don't you have kids, wife or relatives that can help go get/buy the Injections you'll need at the pharmacy?
He was told: when you get the injections, let us know!

I cringed at the realization that you will need relatives COMPULSORILY.
Old age alone is Scary!!

Shikena:
In my opinion people just have to broaden their minds and horizon.

Stop thinking that your happiness comes from others. Find happiness from within and that's what understanding and embracing solitude is all about. Learn solitude from early days, embrace it and thrive in it.

If you are easily bored then you are not deep enough. Stay still and dig deep or else old age will be tough even if you are surrounded by 20 people. The history of life is loaded with mastery of the art of solitude. It makes everything fun in a quiet way!
You are Absolutely Right!
Be Independent as a Man before old age.

Be able to do everything your wife does for you by yourself, and be happy to do it.
and pray against life threating illnesses

When you plan your life very well no child would forget you in old age. Parenting is not only about providing food and shelter for your children. Build that conscience and connection with them at a young age.
with which time?
when you leave home before Dawn and come back at 10pm daily?
for 40 years?

Kobojunkie:
The male loneliness epidemic affecting the world today impacts both married and single men alike. If you choose to blame Marriage, then why do single men also suffer the same problem of loneliness? undecided

2. The problem has been studied and said to be caused by men's refusal to connect on an emotional, social, and mental level with friends, wives, and children. It is all linked to some unhealthy relationship many men have with their emotions in the way of identifying, relating, and managing them. undecided

3. No matter how many wives and children a man has, he is still likely to end up alone and die alone, even then if he refuses to do the needful. Go village today, and you will find many lonely men like the one described by the OP. The family will likely show up after his death to perform whatever is necessary for them to get their hands on anything the man left behind, though. undecided
How can a man have such level of connection with the kids....when:
1. He is out of the home before Dawn to work his butts off and get back late at Night
2. He has to face massive daily Stress and tension at work for 40Years
3. He has to enact discipline whenever he is around to prevent the kids from derailing morally


it's really a sad story for men to end this way angry
