₦airaland Forum

Seun has not been serious with Nairaland, that's all. He has enjoyed grace which a lot of people don't have but if you misuse it, it will turn to disgrace. I was here since inception and only came back recently. Nairaland is built by the quality of people on the platform, once they go, it becomes garbage.

Many people have tried to have their forums which are not successful. But again, companies have survived for years and died because the owners have taken business for granted. Success is a drug, you don't defend it you keep going hungry. That's why it's easier for people to rise to the top than stay there. A wise king uses the counsel of fools and chiefs to reign successfully.

If you are not aware, that guy was the chief finance officer of the Abacha loot, he is now a Minister. IYKYK

You know how boys used to be jealous of girls' choices in primary school? Na wetin i see for the post. The guy believe say him better pass that guy she select. Na why men de fight for women. na why lioness go let lion first fight before dem mate with her. If she like the bobo, make she de happy. Happiness na im we de all de find.

Adults can make choices, let them be and mind your business

Well, I wasn't comfortable with the way a tax worker was not willing to share details of the portal/remita or something I could use by myself. Quite insisting to help where I wasn't willing to be helped. And I should just bring the cash when it's time.

So I left there leaving their form behind, as January is the actual time. And felt like trying firs online instead. Someone was also saying I would pay for "development fees". So maybe they thought I was there looking for an opportunity to waste money. Cos once you say you do online stuff, it seems to many like it's Yahoo.

I will try again in January, and maybe walk straight to the head office where I registered, and if they're not ready to show me the right link, they can call me when they're ready. Or I'll check Firs online...

Thanks

This is why I recommended a Chartered Accountant to help you handle your taxes. The corruption can be irritating but the accountant will know what to do. You can also do it yourself but make sure you get receipts. These govt officials steal from their government just as police, immigration and customs do.

anu3:
Don't worry bro... Do what pays you. But I promise it pays much better to do right—my experience for 13 years. Even if government chooses to do evil, it doesn't make them qualify to be my role models.

And you know taxing is already on some major online platforms—I think they are the ones to make it well-known...

In the end, each one will receive what they deserve: government or civilian...

I love your thinking. Ignore them. You have shown to be a highly principled person, that is one of the elements of the successful people. They are focused on their values more than anything else.

Anu3, you will see aanu x3 and more. Anunimorigba

People that use taxes to tell you Nigeria is better are deceiving you. Nigeria is where it is because your taxes are being misused. Someone saying you go enjoy money, this and that. At what cost? cost of irregular power supply? No potable water supply. Bad roads. Bad education. All the things you want to enjoy abroad are the result of taxes and investments. If they let it rot or chop all the taxes, their societies will collapse. It is foolish to think that the non accountability of our taxes is a good thing to enjoy Nigeria. That is a scarcity mindset that is built on jungle matrix where the fittest survive. The welfare system abroad is a way to ensure unemployment reduces and people don't take to crime. This is sense 101 but the politicians have deprived us so much we are now thinking like monkeys. Even the monkeys still remain small banana for their folk after fighting.


Let me tell you the stupid part of what our leaders are doing. They invest our money abroad and those people use it to make their countries better. Tax is not a bad thing. It makes you talk. You can talk to the politician if he is wasting your money on foolish expenses. Nigerians are so weak, they passed the buck to God when the gods on earth are stealing their money and they are clapping for them.

NOwazobia:
Naija bad whether na water the grass or not.


The country is very bad.


Everything is falling apart, people are barely coping.


Save us the sermon of if he bad for your eye...


Everyone, both the rich and the poor are paying more than times 2 than what they used to, but wages and salary have barely change, some even reduce the wages of their workers to keep business afloat.


Many who are not moving today don't have the means to, others cannot risk it, why some others don't know how to cope in a new environment, especially when they don't have anyone expecting them on the other side.


Some are criminals who find 9ja as a safer haven for their criminal activities.


Our politicians literally don't believe in the country, except for the ease to loot public resources. They easily run to foreign institutions for better health and vacations.


No one is more faithful and hopeful than the poor, but most still remain poor regardless of what they believe in.


Many have been watering but there is little to no yield.


It is either you match your prices aggressively to inflation or fold up completely.


The country is bad and very bad is on the lips of the successful and the unsuccessful...

You are not far from the truth but just the way you are complaining is how the people are complaining abroad about their politicians, interest rate and inflation. Some of them have japa to other countries but they know their country. People are free to move but to present the situation like we will all die tomorrow, I greet you. The thing wey de make Asians de flock enter the country na im we suppose ask say one man poison na another daily bread.

No country is perfect. As war de Libya, Somalia, Syria, Palestine, some people still de there and love it there. Those wey wan comot go comot. life is what you give to it.

ariesbull:
It's a lowly and low level paying job..Oya not intellectually tasking ....


And he can't do that for long

People can live how they want. This guy could have dreamt of living a life like this. The problem with Nigerian education system is that every one concentrates on one thing. Today it is IT, tomorrow it is blogging. He has transferable skills from this profession alone because not everyone can climb 20 ft, stay up there despite bad weather, risk falling amidst others. Are you aware he can travel to Dubai and other cities to clean windows with his experience? He can travel to where he is paid more. This is why I laughed at the other guy saying that I am giving motivational speech. People don't like following their journey, they like noise. This job is one they fly people in to do and no be everything you go see online. Why some cooks de earn pass Iya Bose Canteen? Shey iya bose no fit cook sweet soup? Person wey de chop no go tell you which sauce he add for soup. Na secret sauxe.

correctguy101:
Keep wishing..

Seun will be like: "Shey this baba dey whyne me ni?"

There is something that made Elon monetize his platform and that is why he is bS the advertisers today on Israel war. He has enough money but the problem is that we will not know who is using the platform for truth because sponsors will take over. Are we not paying on linkedin, facebook, instagram for certain features?

casualobserver:
people who have not entered a plane in their lives will come to Nairaland deceiving people.


As you can see below a window cleaner is a window cleaner. A high rise window cleaner may earn more than a regular cleaner but he will still earn less than the average American job.

You know why you make me laugh? I can show you PhD jobs in the same US that pays minimum wage. Does that mean you should not study for PhD? Check indeed or any job board and every profession has ridiculous salaries. There is money in sanitation even though it is the most basic job to be done. Lawyers are earning big, lawyers are earning small. Na you go find your way. There's no need to argue sir.

I will soon come with my diary section soon

I am rotflmao

It's common sense. NYSC is to serve Nigeria. It is foolish to post this kind of picture. For what?As what? You go put yourself for more trouble if no be cruise. Read the NYSC bylaws and save yourself from trouble. The people you are trying to impress are not even thinking about you until you call attention to yourself.

It is not my business, I can agree with you on that but it became my business the moment you posted it on the internet. A serving Corps member is like a soldier, you can be called to serve Nigeria. U be FG pikin, na dem own you for 1 year to where dem post you to go serve. Nigeria gov no de post person outside Nigeria unless na speciall mission. Posting the picture is out of deep ignorance and lack of education. Next time, post it on diary so i no go fit vomment. Enjoy my friend. I wish you safe journey on your diary.

reedone:
I have learnt offline skills such as: phone and laptop repair, fixing electrical appliances as well as light, barbing, and driving. Then online based skills such as digital marketing, prompt engineering, Adobe photos hop, and I am now a newbie in tech. And my main plan is to get a job over there; sponsored visa so immediately I touch down I will get to work. And if that plan doesn't work out I will just flow with menial jobs while opening my eyes to opportunities.
Did I say I am also a graduate with 2.1 though I don't know how they view our results over there

Very good of you. You have prospects, don't be deterred. I like that you have formal and informal skills and you are improving yourself. You also have a good outlook to life. Now, here is one thing that you will need to learn in your journey. It is the language of global politics. You need to learn personal and interpersonal skills, how to talk, what to say, when to say it. To do this you need to learn culture of these countries. I will advise you not to listen to losers. Do you know who are the losers? They complain about everything. The winners will complain but tell you what they did to win after complaining. Listen to these people , you have a lot to learn from them. Also, DON'T try to be like anybody else. Your story is different, write it and live it. Get info from blogs and YouTube. I don't want to put news, they are useful but they like to spread bad news, when you read blogs you will learn from the person in the story directly. No filters.

1. Get your result assessed to any of these countries. Find the equivalent. You went to school now is time to show you went through school. There is discrimination in every country. What you need to do is study what they need, what you have and if there is anything you need to satisfy them. These countries use certificates in different industries because they're regulated so find out which one you need. Go to the job boards of these countries and write down the most common certification you see them always requesting for. That certification will help you and you may not need to go to another school again. The certification can also make you get jobs from Nigeria.

2. Do not outsource your life to someone else. You own it. You are waiting for a sponsorship visa. That's good but start finding a way to move yourself without anyone. The thing about sponsorship is that you are tied to that company and they can decide to treat you anyhow. This can restrict your independence. Be a free man. Move if respect is no longer served on your table.


3. Try the above. I don't want you to give up easily and do menial jobs. Those things soak up the water in your life and you can get stuck there for years. Network, speak to people but never appear desperate. People can smell desperation. Don't immediately accept the first offer. TELL the person, thank you I'll think about it and get back to you. Don't put your hope on anybody because you will be disappointed. You never know who wants to help you. Just be good, focus on your road and see what direction you take your bus to. Avoid distractions, no be every passenger for bus stop driver de pick. Seek counsel and improve on your spirituality that will help you in bad times.

NEVER
Give
up

When you give something free of charge, there is no interest or payback on it. Give without remembering, receive without forgetting.

Bluntemperor:
Nigerians are not quarrying about Sukuk Bond but did Fashola explain this Sukuk Bond to an Ordinary Nigeria's? No!
What Nigerians later saw was a Bond or a Loan from the Muslim backdoor - but with no Interest,but who Owns the Bond/ the Money?
The reason for suspecting the Modus operandi is that we all know how Nigeria was smuggled into Membership of OIC,( Organisation of Islamic Conferences) just because the former Heads of States then were Muslims and they think they can imposed anything on Nigeria,just as they imposed the 1979 Constitution by claiming ''We '' when it's not true!
•Nevertheless,the Sukuk Bond have been instrumental to various Roads Project including- Sagamu- Ikorodu ( although that road ought to have been completed ,but Federal Govt Monitoring group/ Supervisors are hardly seen there,only when the public complains),2nd Niger Bridge,some Lagos Roads,etc,as shared by other people in this Forum!
Christians should not fear but be inquisitive about NIGERIA,to know directions of things because most of our Leaders- Past and Present ,have lost the Trust which is the sanctity of Democracy World wide!

Did Fashola explain? That is a categorical lie to say Fashola deceived the public. He was asked questions on this. I will not help you search but the internet is there. Drop the unnecessary mischief. Kemi Adeosun the Finance Minister was not left out

I am single and lived in about 8 states, I have sufficient skills and even done sufficient research on what I want not because I see people going there, I am actually fond of being alone and somewhere on the line between and introvert and extrovert, and can perfectly do without friends.

very good. can you throw more light on these skills? what are your plans? what if plan 1 fails, how many others do you have?

Obaofaba:
Their mama husband has just landed.

I'm never a fan of Wike because of his style of politics but in this fight I support wholeheartedly the members of the house loyal to him because they are truly loyal to the Constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria they vowed to protect.

Why will I support a man that bombed and demolished the state house?

Why will I support a man that present the state's budget to four people to pass in his bedroom?

Why will I support a man that bought a judgement from a court when another court has ruled on the same matter? (NJC, are you taking note)?

Why supporting a man that wants to Pocket the three arms of government in the state?

Remember the illegitimate speaker for the governor has been suspended long before they decamped in full house, how will a suspended member declare 28 members seats vacant?

Wike should please help the state fight against thuggery of the governor and the state capture moves he's embarking on.

the law is no respecter of your feelings. All of them no send common man but in this fight, Wike's men have shown they belong to somebody, they are not for everybody in Rivers. The Rivers people should be happy with that.

By resigning and decamping illegally, the 25 members have lost their office and gave Fubara an easy ride to have an assembly of 5 people. This is the same Rivers where someone took the maze, do you remember?

This is the person who could not behave like his principal Jonathan. Look at Adesina, look at shehu, look at Laolu Akande. They are behaving like their principals after leaving office. Who is Reno behaving like?

Even Adeniyi is not doing anyhow, person wey him principal don die since and he can do as he like

That guy on timberland. Fine pose

LifeDrama:
This is 2024 do not go to UK, Australia, Canada or USA. scandinavian countries are the best choice. You guys should stop following crowd on social media

Language barrier
Immigration views
Culture

Scandinavian countries are trying to preserve their culture and having more radical leaders who are anti-migration. This can be a setback for OP

reedone:
I want to Japa abroad and I have set my mind on either Australia or Canada as I noticed the popularity and all. But my question now is that how do I go about the passport part. I stay in kaduna and I plan to go to the immigration office but the thing is I want to know what I should before going there so as not to look or sound like a noob and get myself cheated or scammed.
Please those who has done their passport please help me and explain the processes to me thanks.




NB: PLEASE SCAMMERS STAY AWAY AS I WON'T REPLY TO YOU THANKS.

Don't be everybody. Be somebody.

Don't do things because people are doing it, do things because it's the best for you.
I did not see enough good reasons to select Australia and Canada.

Are you single? Are you in a relationship? Have you lived anywhere outside Kaduna? What are your skills? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? As what?

Those 2 countries are so big, you can't just select them as if it's point and kill you are doing. Canada and Australia are at least x10 of Nigeria's size if not more so be careful of limitations. Australia is living in tomorrow and Canada is living in yesterday. Both are former British colonies so that could help a bit because you will see the colonial legacies of Nigeria in these countries. Can you stay alone?Are you an introvert? Can you do without friends? How iz your health like? Spirituality?

It's good to take a first step in life so I will encourage you to get a passport. Such is life, we take little steps to the next level.

bolabizzle:
Just got word from a friend about someone who made the move from being a bank manager in Nigeria to working as a skyscraper cleaner in the UK. 😕

Smart move or not?

That's one of the top paying jobs abroad because of the safety risk. To clean window no be small and if it makes you happy, good. Nigeria should let people be paid for their skills so unemployment can reduce. I wish Seun pays jobless people here to help the economy.

To those who always judge japa, many of you suffer from low self esteem. The land is green where you water the grass. If Naija bad for your eye, everything you do go bad, u no go see good thing there. Focus on your life wherever you are and stop wasting your time worrying about others.

Rilwayne001:
OP isn't asking about VAT, he is asking about personal income tax. That he's paying VAT on products he buys doesn't mean he's not eligible to pay his PIT.

You didn't have to insult him.

Op already gave him the perfect response that he doesn't understand but for the benefit of others, what they don't know is that not paying taxes is a serious crime and those companies don't want to get into trouble, that's why they ask. They can be sued for tax fraud which will put them in jail so why will they waste their time being lawless. You can lose big gigs if you don't pay taxes. It pays to pay your taxes and show records. OP, Nairaland is not your answer, speak to a chartered accountant to help you. It does not cost much considering state boards may want to audit you and stress you.

People calling Op stupid are the stupid ones because rather than focus their energies to the public servants who are 4kn dem up with their taxes, they bully fellow citizens. When you sabi say na your money govt de spend , u go wise up for election and governance.

Except you are just here for cruise, you cannot serve Nigeria outside Nigeria. If they call you now go fight for Niger, you go run. Some of you clearly did not do OT at camp. Nigerians and lau lau show off na im go kill them. Shey you hear of the kpop boys wey dem say make dem go do mandatory service? No be only us de do service but show me which country man de do service de post picture for another man land? 99.9999999% of Nigeria problem na mentality

Na extension of service you de play with and no be for Kanada u go do that one, na Kaduna. De play. Open diary make we de follow you de cruise.

Nigerians and inferiority complex

LooneyLester:
Use ways to secretly collect her number and text her yuur thoughts


If she no gree , find where she lives



If she lives alone, best to break into her house when she's not around and wait for her then you do the needful



Remember to disguise your appearance

You are horrible for suggesting this. You will be reported to the authorities.

The good side to japa is that more Nigerians will be exposed to simple things of life and how structure should work, not this yagbayantis politicians with election structure. They will see that heaven can be mimic at Ajaokuta, Ibese and Aba road if they are good to each other. The first thing a Japanese will do abroad is swear for our politicians for making them 2nd class citizens abroad. na y japa people get interest for election, dem no fit bribe dem anyhow with poverty.

na wetin make dem no allow diaspora vote. Dem know say dia yeye money no fit move them

Love her with caution.

You can take her back but not immediately. Let time be the deciding factor so that she never tries it again. Be responsible to those kids because they are yours even if she's the most wicked person on earth. Don't waste your time trying to prove a point. Shower your kids with love and wait for her. She has to see you as a high value man and not a reject that she can move to whenever someone else dumps her. While you're showing love to YOUR kids, her sense will reset. Never love out of pity or you will regret it. You can still show her love without getting intimate. This is where you need to be a man because just as she wants you back what if the other man wants her back? That's why you need time. She just needs comfort right now but we need to be sure where her heart is, that's why you need time. She has 3 kids from 2 men, so the chances of meeting another man with baggage is low.

Smart thinking. When Fashola did this, he did not provide account details but this man knows his fellow Nigerians no go hear word, they will try to do eye service so he sharply gave the account details for the schools. make dem go de shalaye for the schools with money

You are more likely to meet sapisosexual men here because they can see high achieving women too. If you don't know what sapiosexual is or how to find the meaning, don't go there. They also pay money to attend conferences so if you start to go off point, the guys know this one no serious. Highly intelligent men can size you within seconds of talking to you and they decide whether to waste that time or invest in their hustle.

How old is he and how is she a single mother? Was she divorced or lost her husband? Single mothers are a blessing depending on how they became one.

It's important you know her story to avoid inheriting problems. You can inherit battles with her ex, family, custody and plenty. You must know the men in her house first. Talk to the elders, that's where you will get answers from. Don't fall in love blindly or you go wake up blindfolded.

When you have a medical problem down there, this will be the last of your worries.
