FamilyRe: Is 700k Per Month Too Small? by Powersurge: 1:30pm On Jun 19, 2024
ruffhandu:
Hello people,
Please I need some advice.
We live in PH, and have 4 kids. The oldest is 10 while the youngest is 6. I give my wife 700k every month, and this includes general upkeep and maintenace and fuelling of our car (Lexus 330). I don't drive the car (I dey leg, while she uses it to run around, which includes school runs and her business).

I no dey chuk eye for her business. Bu I am getting frustrated as she still makes me believe that the money is not enough. I pay electricity bill (band A) and house rent (3m pa) yet every now and then she puts bills on my head. It is driving me crazy.

When I tell her to list out her expenses so I plan with her, she picks offence. I am really tired of the whole thing and don't know how else to approach the issue without causing too much problem. I know some men whose salaries are 250k-300k in PH, yet they are surviving.
There is a MASSIVE problem.

Remman:
Now that we have at least one working refinery in Nigeria, i think it's time to bring back fuel subsidy and crash the price to N100 per litre. Smuggling will reduce or stop because buying from Dangote would be different from hiding under IPMAN and be shipping (smuggling) FG paid fuel to other countries.
because Dangote built his refinery with billions of dollars to pacify the ineptitude of ypur govt.

Malu's and piglets will believe anything just to feed their hatred and bigotry...... Senseless mumu people 🤨
It's ironic that you believe that the blogger is lying yet you feel the IGP he not capable of looting way more than ₦700m.

In this same Nigeria, a police commissioner or so stole ₦20b police pension fund and was fined ₦700k by court.

The problem I have with y'all is that everybody suddenly become daft once their person is in power. Meanwhile,these thieves keep degrading your lives.
FoodRe: See What I Bought With N900 In Birnin Kebbi by Powersurge: 5:45am On Jun 12, 2024
ManirBK:
i purchased these in Birnin kebbi, Kara Market today.

1- peppers @700

2-Onion @200

TOTAL- N900
On a normal day, if you bought ₦900 pepper and tomato in that part of the world, you wouldn't be able to finish it in one week.

Now compare with the fact that a teacher in that area receives _5,000+ as salary, can you now see how hard life is in Nigeria?

Jobs/VacanciesRe: 500k Per Month In Nigeria Or 2000pounds Per Month In The Uk by Powersurge: 8:47am On Jun 11, 2024
ORACULUM:
Kindly state your option with reasons to help a brother make a decision on what to choose from?
Lessons in the comment please.
Personally I would choose 500k, if I have a stable career path, economically relevant industry and there is a prospect of getting better pay year-on-year. I will be able to live more comfortably with that in Nigeria than 2,000 pounds in UK.
Don't forget that once you are abroad, everybody at home believes that you have made it. So expect more calls.

However, Nigeria is not a very stable country economically (UK is also not so stable. Just better). Last year Naira was 640, now 1500. That's how quick one's life could change in Nigeria. in 2014, 50kg of import rice was 8k now, 90k. UK CANNOT have that kind of inflation in 50 years. Being in UK improves your passport and gives you opportunity to go to another countries (My friend in UK is trying to relocate to US with his family). The cost of living in Nigeria increases astronomically every year due to the useless Naira.

Finally, know this, YOU WILL STRUGGLE A LOT in UK with a pay of 2,000. If you are married and your spouse is also working, it will ease your stress. But as a Naija guy, you will find a way eventually.

Yahoo Boys are not your problem in Nigeria. As bad as that may be, the reason EFCC is arresting Yahoo Boys is because it makes Nigerian political thieves looks very bad internationally.

EFCC is very useless and pursuing rubbish.

it depends. buying stolen goods will not always land you in jail if you go to a legit store that sells used goods and buy it, and if the seller falsifies documents to prove you bought something authentic.
Yeah. Emphasis on buying from a legit source who is licenced to sell such.

Oluwole tracker man was shocked to meet resistance. He must have been used to people begging & crying upon his arrival & making him feel like one local god. He even came with an agbero enforcer. Joker.

Go to station & everyone will write their statement including the agbero enforcer.
If they get to the station and it gets to court, she will do time in jail.

U are as culpable as the thief if u are in possession of a stolen item.

how is the coastal highway highly necessary and useful?
It is.

But this is not a discussion for online. I don't have the time.

I know for example that it will change the life and the economy of my people in the coastal areas. But that is a talk for another day. I can write a whole article on its national impact.

Whether the current govt has the brain to make maximum use of it is the challenge between you and Tinubu ( that one no concern me)

Ofunaofu:
As Cybersecurity Levy didn't work, Tinubu wants to dip his hands into people's pension fund contributions because he wants to finance his coastal highway of fraud. A fraudulent highway connecting Bourdillon with Lebanon.

Tinubu's pension is paid directly from the coffers of the Lagos State Treasury; he never contributed to any PFA, but now he wants to take other people's pension fund contributions to finance their fraudulent projects. 

Tinubu should be warned; people's pension fund contributions shouldn't be touched before we begin to hear another Abdulrasheed Maina pension fund embezzlement story.
The coastal highway is highly necessary and useful.

Where he will get the money na you and him get the problem.

Christianity EtcRe: Family Tithing In The Diaspora by Powersurge: 10:02am On May 12, 2024
rexbuton:
Please this topic wants to tear the family apart.

We are doing well, each of us earns almost 85k per year, I'm in IT, she's in healthcare, and we both work full-time.
I am a Christian, I have never defaulted in tithing in the last 5 years. Not once.
She says tithing is my personal 'problem'. She uses the word problem specifically. She doesn't pay tithe.

This is the present sharing agreement, I bring 70%, she brings 30%.
This 70-30 covers the cost of living, groceries, nursery fees for our baby, and other bills.
before this sharing, we both bring equal amounts for the house mortgage and the car.
When her family needs money, she insists that we share it 50-50 based on her culture.

For my cybersecurity certifications, I pay from my less than 20%, but I have never complained. God has been faithful. My belief is that my tithe covers for the family.
The good news is that I won a large sum of money from my savings, tens of thousands of dollars. I intend to pay tithe, and channel most of the money to my professional development so I can earn more. I don't think I deserve that money I won, that money was from God.
She thinks otherwise.

What's your opinion?
Pay your tithe and leave who's nit paying.

God knows how to convince men to do his work.

Why is IMF all up in our face? Nigeria is capable of handling it's crypto issues, the CBN is on it.
Back off IMF, we are a sovereign nation.
F.T.C
Smiling. I don't trust IMF. But when it comes to crypto, the TradFi and the govt have very limited knowledge about it.

Nigeria is the 5th or 6th crypto currency using nation in the world.

If govt like, make dem ban from now till tomorrow, crypto is going nowhere and people like me go still dey use crypto like say nothing happened.

If u check my account, u no go see anything there. My assets are stored in crypto.

The earlier the govt get sense the better. Crypto is designed to resist TradFi and govts. It will outline every govt and those that refused to embrace it will be relegated.
PropertiesRe: Mende Demolitions: How The Developer Deviated From Approved Plan (Pictures) by Powersurge: 6:55am On May 09, 2024
Lanrelagboi:
As the drama on the demolitions in Mende, Maryland, Lagos continues, it is good to see the exact way the developer of the estate cviolated and encroached on the government's setback for the canal which led to the demolition of the part of the estate that encroached.

See attached pictures

Picture 1: The approved plan by Lagos state to the developer

Picture 2: What the developer actually did.

As you can clearly see, the shape was altered with to give the developer more land hence building on the government approved setback for the canal

In the second picture, the whole part inside the white circle should not be there at all as it was illegally taken and is asking the path of the canal
The question is, why is the developer not in court/jail?

They will delist Naira and ban CEXs, we will still trade crypto and Naira will still fall couple of months later.
