Glimpsetv:Those that do remote job here in Nigeria and are paid in Dollars or pounds most notably will enjoy our economy the most because of the exchange rate. Our naira has a low purchasing power that's why foreigners seems to enjoy themselves a lot in this country. Also our media need to project the better side of Nigeria for these foreigners to bring in their money into this country most especially in tourism so that we can have more dollars and pounds in the system. |

AllenSpencer:Nobody sells a house because of tax. That’s the point I’m trying to show you. They sell the house because they are broke and need cash. Value is better than cash but then it isn’t cash. Someone who is broke will not get a good loan so the only option may be to sell the house. That’s the whole point of having a house in the first place. It gives you access to loans and bails you out with huge cash when you make financial mistakes. Debt is written off when someone dies unless there are asserts to recover. It is not passed on. That’s why rich men take debt, because it will help avoid taxes. |

motymop:Saving money that is devaluing must be very intelligent lol. How many Nigerians have bought a new car before? I’m not cherry picking information. I said compare the worst in America to the worst in Nigeria. In America the worst that can happen to you is debt and homelessness. In Nigeria you are denied healthcare for lack of funds, you suffer severe malnutrition. |

lordm:Yes because its not easy to track debtors in Nigeria. Addresses are not standardised, no post code system, no good credit record companies who track all credit activities of people in the country. Above all, the law enforcement system and courts are not very good. Lenders resort to self help most times to get their debts back. These are some of the problems. |

rinzaugustine:Incase you dont know or someone haven't told you, you are a fool for thinking every luxury car in Lagos are proceeds of crime...just because you are lazy, uneducated and not money wise doesn't mean everyone else is as dumb and poor as you....I know of someone in Adamawa (an aboki for that matter) that made over $100 million dollars (not naira) from forex last year, tell me, how many yahoo boys can make that much in a year? If you probably see that aboki driving a Luxury car in Lagos your empty head will say it is a proceed of crime abi? Mumu. Dont compare your village with urban cities in Nigeria, travel more and leave that your poverty enshrined village to see things yourself like this American just did.

On point brother, the guy needs to travel more and think logically. The same thoughts that police men have that made them to be harassing every young man with good car is what he has too. He should go online and search modern way of getting rich and sustaining wealth and watch youtube videos. Electorate: |

JohnBullMySon:yo! you are out of touch with reality. 1. Nigerians do not use dollars, so yeah they save in Naira, bank in naira, do businness in Naira and buy things in naira and they have been living well. 2. Nigerians save for what they can afford and not consumerism , that is why old car brands are very popular here, which they owned 100% and no debt. you failed to mention that Nigerians can also afford lands, new houses all debt free, i can't say the same thing for an individual living in a credit based society.( a borrower is always a slave to the lender) 3. You claimed the worst that can happen to someone in the US is debt and homelessness, that is not true, you can also be denied medical care and insurance, why do you think the Unitedhealthcare Ceo was murdered?, you can also be denied good education and housing because of Redlining and also Denied opportunities because of your race. 4, you claimed people can be denied healthcare in nigeria because of lack of funds, do you realise that in Nigeria, there are nhs systems in place where you can get affordable medical care and lastly can you show me a picture of malnourished child in Nigeria? |

JohnBullMySon:Debt is not written off for mortgage. The house itself is the asset. You said no one sells a house because of tax? What happens when your property tax is ahead of your earnings for a house you bought when the property tax was low and you could afford it? That’s how people who buy tax liens make money. You could lose that house for not paying taxes. The government does not care whether you can or not, they will proceed with foreclosure in due time. Millions sell homes when property taxes go haywire cos it adds a big chunk up their mortgage. Only reason property taxes won’t go up is when the zip code is retrogressing, meaning your property itself is not appreciating and losing value and no one hopes to invest in such area. Higher valuations=Higher property taxes. If does not care about affordability Your property taxes can be $5000 per annum in triple witching a couple of years due to massive development, and nothing you can do about it. You can do about it. That’s the system, if you cannot keep up again, sell off. Tax lien and foreclosures is an industry on it own. People readily waiting for defaulters. |
