If dem drop pin inside your brain, e go echoe cos your brain empty.
The yardstick for comparison is xenophobia. See the mumu wey I dey follow dey go back and front with.
How can I dissipate much energy on a brain dead, senseless, useless, good-for-nothing entity?

haha. you're just a dull mentally ill average hungry Nigerian raining down meaningless insults after has been schooled by how bad his country is.

I pity all useless Nigerian 2000's babies on the internet. You guys have no ideas what's in stock for you in this dead country of yours. You're all delusional

Nigerians weren't this dull and stuppid until immature kids like you started using smartphone. If not for china that produces cheap smart phones. the likes of you will be in the bush sharing trees with monkeys. Fooooool...

Napata77:
India implemented the exact same policies Nigeria is carrying out. India removed fuel subsidies and increased taxes among other measures. Go on ChatGPT and tell it to compare Tinubu’s policies with Modi’s.

I did, and it’s virtually a carbon copy.

your leaders never copy good thing at all. It won't take long before th country hits absolute rock bottom. By then people in mass will start using desert to enter Benin, Libya, Ghana and other African countries

Rachyrachy:
4 loaves of bread here is 1lyd = 100 naira
Not to talk of other things.
Our problem here is not even the Arabians but other Nigerians, those of you complaining some of your sisters are the ones selling other Nigerians, not Arabians. Before you come online to rant your brother in other Arab countries might be the one trafficking girls and selling them.
Truly the journey in Sahara desert is like hell but if you sponsor yourself or have a very good sponsor and also pray to work for a good Arab family, you are good to go.

wow, I'll love to know more. Are there no Christians in Libya? Is it only Arabs. Can a Christian live and work there.?

Kingosytex:
Your senselessness reeks to the sky.
How many people you say die of Xenophobia per day in those countries?
How many have ever died of Xenophobia in Nigeria?
Compare the statistics, you ignorant, senseless, stup!d, useless, empty headed 1diot.
Your stupidity is beyond redemption and I give up on you.
Mumu.

hehe. You better don't cry now. With your monkey like thinking faculty.

Why not post the stats let's see. ?

Number of deaths xenophobia not up to 1000 in 30 years, while borno alone has recorded 35k deaths to insecurity in less than 15. but yeh you're more worried of xenophobia than the insecurity eating your already dead country alive.

I doubt you've ever crossed border to the north how much borno.

You like many Nigerians based your rational thinking on assumptions, and presumption not on facts.

If you get visa to SA don't go because you go there a d spoil the country. Instead pack your bag to the nearest IDP camp in borno. It'll even fit you well. Idiiot.

Psoul:
These lazy ingrates, hateful and xenophobic peep always believe they are in competition with Nigeria and Nigerians.

No matter how you take it, they are never a good comparison to Nigeria. Nigeria and Nigerians are far ahead of them even with the presence of the whites helping them.
They should just go and rest and pick their fight rightly before they destroy the little their white slave master remained for them.

lmao the people you're insulting have thr biggest GDP in Africa with far less population . So you better lower your voice. Nigeria is full with foolish unproductive people like you. while SA Is being productive.

Even th best of Nigeria can't be compared to Sa

Kingosytex:
Comprehension is your problem like I stated earlier.
Read with understanding and stop typing gibberish.
Insecurity is everywhere but xenophobic attacks (the issue of discourse) aren't everywhere. I had to break it down for it to sink into your empty skull.
I doubt if you'll understand this, you're just too dull.

you're very stuppid. How many people die per day to xenophobia?? You want to compare to insecurity in Nigeria. Worst part is the highest insecure place in Nigeria. You need brain implants. Libya and SA are not your mates. If you get SA Visa you'll go and so Thanksgiving today. Idiiot.

Rachyrachy:
That it was bad for her doesn't mean that is what all Nigerians in Libya go through.
I'm a female currently working in Libya and passed through the Sahara desert, I didn't witness such, it depends on the person who brought her from Nigeria.
Do you know how cheap things are here?, Yes you will have to work hard to get your money but even the salary can never be compared to the peanuts paid in Naija.
For those of you who think we go there to do as***o work, sorry is your case, I work with my hands and I'm proud of it.
If I had thought about the bad comments I hear about Libya maybe I would still be hustling for food to eat.

they like to say anything that comes to their mind. If Nigeria was any good people won't be leaving to other countries. Even the so called leaders know this fact they're just hiding it and gaslighting them so they'll continue to milk them off.

They keep fooling them that they're better off when they're not. That Libya better pass Nigeria

Kingosytex:
Comprehension is your problem.

go and sleep. You guys just love to look down on other African countries when your shit hole is dead and buried. Even Libya as a while is safer than Nigeria how much SA.

You won't survive one night in sambisa or you think it's a joke? but there are many Nigerians in those countries now for years and are still ok..

nairalanda1:
It is tinubu, buhari, gej, yaradua, obasanjo, millitary government and company fault.

At independence, the basis of our economy was selling raw materials and sharing the revenue. Initially we started well by investing heavily in education....but then we deralied by offering things like electricity and fuel...at subsidised rates to 'help the poor'

Result...we became a broke ass nation, with a lot of corruption.

Japan and South Korea used to have a lot of their people japa. That is why all over the world today there are communites of Japanese and Korean people all over the place. Then the countries did something after 1945...they eventually based their economies on manufactured goods and services.

Result...the only Japanese and Koreans that go abroad are either tourists, or a few researchers who want to improve themselves oversease. Very few japa for economic reasons...

Resource dependent nations cannot provide jobs for their people, because overimportation wrecks the domestic job market. As a result....there are no jobs and job creation is minimal (or it is useless government job like standing in the middle of the road to catch truck driver and getting killed...up APC ). So, millions of people japa. Because it is that, or nothing doing, or menial jobs that don;t earn enough for your needs.

Nigeria needs to change the basis of its economy , or we will continue to have stories like this.

a serious country that want to increase production will pay more subsidy. Removing it has crippled the economy. All production economy was built in subsidy like china that's why things are easy to make in China compared to Nigeria.

Also tackle security. Not unsecured country has ever achieved anything productive. None.

These are the major 2 things the govt needs to do now but is shying away.

Napata77:
As far as Nigerians are concerned, anywhere outside Nigeria, ESPECIALLY IF THE PEOPLE ARE LIGHT SKINNED, must be “better than Nigeria”.

Even if they are fighting war there. Even if they have no president. No government there, it doesn’t matter.

SO PLEASE LEAVE THEM TO ENJOY LIBYA. 🙏

Do you know that you have BANKERS who left Nigeria to Libya without spending ONE MINUTE to research that country or the situation there?

And ended up as slaves there?

These are university graduates!

What is the point of attending university if you come out of it and still reason like a donkey?

Please just leave them in Libya.

are you not still slave in your own country? Nigeria CAnt match that same libya in quality of life.

Kingosytex:
How una take dey live for Libya and South Africa sef?
I can't stay in a place where I'm quite aware I can be hunted down for no reason.
Una dey try shaa.
I would rather live in Sambisa than live in either Libya or South Africa.

stuppid talk. No where in Nigeria can be compared to SA or Libya

nwirinedu:
Your state is the food basket of the nation. What were you going to do in Libya?
Libya under Gaddafi was much better, but the present one is a crisis state.

Doing prostitution in Nigeria is more profitable than Libya.

lol same libya still far better than Nigeria. That's why they're running to Libya. Your country is so bad but you have no idea how because you've become to used to itm

Heavyweights:
If you get sense that money wey you take travel, why no investing it business. The suffer wey dey libya self pass the one wey your eyes dey see for naija🤒

nice joke. Libya is far better than Nigeria. Security, quality of life, income, cost of living. Far better

lmao some you guys really have the Brain of a fish

nairalanda1:


Look, you guys don't know how bad it is for us.

80% of our revenue comes from oil. Let it sink in...80% of our revenue comes from oil. 20% comes from other sources, including tax. Tax does not account for a large amount of our revenue. Add the fact that the oil revenue comes from 1.3m bpd. Not enough for a nation of 5 million.

That is why we should not have voted for tinubu. We should have voted for a leader that would have promoted production, promoted widening the tax base and economic diversificaiton, plus total removal of subsides on power and education.

Subsidy still dey on education...primary and secondary...as well as health and for 80% of consumers of electricity. (those who are not on band A).

The truth is, our government borrows, because to not borrow means they would have to tax the 70% of Nigerians who do not pay taxes, and force every NIgerian to pay premium for electricity, and remove subsides on health and non-teritiary educaiton....and guess what...it means riots.

Tinubu is borrowing because he no wan face reality. Like every Nigerian politican, he takes bad decisions to get elected again and again.

rather than working harder to earn nore from oil you pish the blame to the masses. More taxes and more bills. As if those that built their economy with oil money have 2 heads and 2 tecticles.

You're just really dumb. In your mind you think the govt is working for the people.

Not knowing they're working for their various bank accounts stacked abroad.

Whatever money is borrowed will be paid back by the masses with inflation.

nairalanda1:
SO, saying we are not charging enough in tax is defending useless government.? OK o.

Oga, I don't think we are on the same wavelength. Good afternoon.

yes because we're already paying more than enough on taxes. Rather than focus on holding the leaders you voted you pish the blame to the poor masses. They should pay more taxes so your govt can have more money to loot.

nairalanda1:
LOL...overtax kini?

80% Of government revenue comes from oil. Less than 20% comes from other sources, including taxes. Add the fact that we rely on oil revenue from 1.3 MILLION Bpd...which would make sense if we were less than 5 million people...and you will see why we borrow.

TO stop borrowing, TInubu has to tax the 70% of Nigerians whose tax does not go to federal and state coffers. That would lead to war....so , the man runs away from reality by borrowing.

That is how all our past leaders have run the country, which led us to a situation on May 29 , 2023, whereby 99% of our revenue was going to debt service, which forced removal of subsides on fuel and dollars. ANd even now tinubu is borrowing, because the real situation would lead to him being voted out next time.

Nigerian leaders are always ready to sacrifice the economy to Molech if it means an extra hour in power.

thats not true Nigeria still gets aids from the US despite not being in war. The govt is already taxing the people. And you're saying they should tax 70%. And you think the 70% don't pay tax one way or the other.

Taxes aren't meant to be over 20% of GDP. Even us has GDP as 16% the rest comes from production. same oil money built Dubai, Qatar, Canada, Libya, even the US still rely on oil.

At the end of the day you can't defend the defendless

Proudlyngwa:
I am saying Nigerians still have the mindset of how military ran the country, that is everything must be provided by the government.

Otherwise paying tax should not be a problem to them.

Forming cooperative should not be a problem to them

Banks giving out loans and grants should not be a problem

Electricity generation by private individuals should not be a problem.

But No to 90% of Nigerians, Government must provide this.
This is the mentality military left with us and with that mentality we can't move a step forward

Its govt responsibilities to prpvide all those things for thr people. People in the US still rely on national grid. china still subsidizes everything. Qatar citizens doesn't pay taxes at all.

Saying govt shouldn't provide anything is saying govt shouldn't do their duties and that's what they're already doing. It's the citizens providing everything for themselves while the govt only loot money and destroy peoples source of livelyhood

bdon123:
This is why u should read properly....ano say an average Nigerian hate reading bt my bro its important.All i said is he is deceiving gullible Nigerians to belive he made a full payment on a house in uk n brand new car within 3 years of relocating.Average Cost of 2 bedroom is £140k then brand new car ...lets say £40k.U will need to be helping UK government wit their nuclear bomb programming to be paid dat kind of money to outrightly purchase those.

you're the one being decived to think a car and a house is a big deal inna country where average income is £40k.
You are jealous to see that it's so easy to make It abroad because Nigeria have weaponised poverty.


Those things isn't a big deal in a developed country that will call for jealous even 20 year old over there go to school with car of their own.

Tellmeastory:
THE UK ANNUAL BUDGET IS 2 TRILLION DOLLARS.

NIGERIA’S ANNUAL BUDGET IS 30 BILLION DOLLARS.

STOP COMPARING APPLES AND ORANGES.

that money didnt fall from heaven they worked for it. Why can't you work for your own. Nigeria has over 230 million people yet GDP is very low compared to the uk of 50 million. Kia

nairalanda1:
LOL...Most of the taxes goes into private pockets. Plus...do you pay TV Licence, council tax, even income tax that eats half your income?

If you do that, now we dey talk. But we don't.

My tax is not up to 20% of my income. If I was in Denmark or germany, na 40% of my income minnimum it go eat.

Tinubu has been told to santise the thing, but since he is part of them (alpha beta), plus he does not want to lose elections, he takes loans instead, to hide our embarassment.

liar no country pays 40% minimum as income tax. Tax is dependent on income the higher your income the higher the tax. And there is what they called tax bracket. If you're earning low you don't pay income tax.

Nigeria income tax is at 24%. You're earning 20k apc wages and you're talking of tax. Those earning over 500k are paying income tax. We pay over 11 tax in Nigeria. Vat, customs, property.

Just because you've never bought a land before or shipped anything from abroad in your mind you'll say, we don't pay property tax or custom taxes. They only pay such in the UK or Germany

That how you and other foolish Nigerians keep fooling themselves. Nigeria is just a fools paradise.

nairalanda1:
LOL

Anytime I hear 'new taxes' I want to laugh.

70% Of Nigerians eligible for taxes don't pay taxes. A lot of them think they pay taxes, but it goes into a black hole of corruption. Our tax to gdp is lower than even Niger Republic.

And it has been going on for decades. Our leaders take loans in part because they do not want to santise the tax collection system...because it means taxing very poor Nigerians. It also means sanitsing the black holes...which a good number of them benefit from. Not going to win votes. Not going to keep the Swiss account as fat as a 600 Pound human. That is a big reason why Tinubu takes loans. If he did the right thing, he would get kicked out of office. straight. He would also be making life difficult for a lot of big people.

Sane nations tax everything. IN the UK....as a foreign resident, you still pay tv tax, radio tax and council tax. That is as a foreign resident. I never talk citizens...you pay all that plus income tax. That is a big part of how they get billions to loan us out of our sorry asses.

Nigeria is a broke ass country. I always laugh when people say we need to fight corruption, (and yes, we need to fight corruption), but before corruption, our budget was 35 trillion naira. For 200 million people, that is DARN TOO SCANTY. At the end of the day, the thieves come and steal out of that tiny sum, and thus we get bad government....but even if we stop stealing, we get work to do.



The funny thing is that people will start shouting at me and calling me agbado. Make dem continue. Truth is BITTER.

idiiots, we pay tax too very well in Nigeria. Nigeria isn't tax free. But it's stolen so you think you don't pay tax.

Somebody exploiting you wouldn't want you to know

No country funds budget with tax. Tax in the uk for Social benefits for the poor. while Nigeria leaders use tax money to buy houses in Dubai.

Our tax to GDP ratio is 10%, china is 11%, almighty US is just at 16%

Nigeria is broke ass because it's unproductive and being exploited by bad leaders and filled with stuppid people like yourself.

It's same oil that Qatar and Canada used to become rich. Qatar is tax-free.

NOwazobia:
This small piece is even indirectly taxed.


Forget that guy, every Nigerian is paying tax.


Whether it goes to private pot, or pigeon hole, the fact is that we are all paying tax.


Infact multiple tax on Electricity, Calls, Transports, Ticket and many more.

leave them they're all idiiots. In there mind they're tax free. Nigerians are some of the most exploited and gaslighted people on earth.

We pay custom tax, vat even personal income tax at 24%. They just keep fooling the poor citizens and hiding the fact they're been exlotired so they won't revolute.

Adakintroy:
So you just mention 5 countries. 2 of which are ancient civilization even mentioned in the bible. I do not see nigeria in the bible. So your intelligence permits you to compare nigeria to a civilization even thousand of yrs ahead of it. The rest three are very contestable in various ways but i do bot want to go into the nigeria ghana stand off, we all know usually takes that.

But there are 54 countries in africa. You mentioned 5, were are the remain 49. See my point again? No Mozambique, somalia, congo, Zimbabwe, south sudan,burundi, chad, malawi. See...?

Because if you show this, comparatively nigeria become better Thats not the image you like. So you pick the few better to show worst of nigeria not the worst to show better. You anti nigeria my friend. Even if nigeria is doing well you no go fit see am. E no show for your mental radar.

if even you're dumb you should be able to understand ranking 162 out of 192 is a very bad thing. And there are many better African countries out there. You expect me to start naming all of them why not do some research?

Nigeria Ranks

33 out of 53 wealth in africa.
cost of living - high 5th
Insecurity - very high in Africa.
Poorest people - highest in Africa
minimum wage- among lowest


No need for any useless debates ghana is better than Nigeria. They have far better security than Nigeria. They have light,and water. The rankings are online. Google it and see for yourself

Sirchiboy:
My uncle is sad about you

my friend enter anywhere you see before itll too late and youll be trapped inside this contraption called country. one day youll wake up no movement, no light, no food due to insecurity everything will collapse. people will start dropping dead. mark my words itll happen very soon. this is 2024 and you only have 5m and you're still being selective? i pity you...

meanwhile benin is very safe and has 24/7 light. do both leave the country and start a business

Adakintroy:
Some of you are naive.

You always talk nigeria nigeria. There are 195 countries in the world. How many do you think are doing well. You will take the small percentage of wealthy nations and generalize as if the whole world nations are rapidly building space ship. Have you been to Mozambique?

my friend close your mouth. Among those 195 countries, Nigeria ranks less than 150 in standard of living. Wealth is relative. Many countries even from Africa are richer than Nigeria. So they're doing way better.

Egypt, Morocco, Ethiopia, ivory coast, even Benin and Ghana all have 24/7 light. And they aren't even considered wealthy by world standards. But still more richer than nigeria

Love800:
American maintains its distance of their prices in the market and dollar. You can buy whatever you want because their money have value.

Your Government owns you security, social amenities, good roads. Do Nigeria government actually provide these things?

Do you know a lively and good evironment, aids the citizens to grow well? That is why in America, their citizens money is just pocket money. Their main gain is from the environment which their government have already fixed!

don't mind the idiiot. How can things be cheap in Nigeria when Nigeria imports everything. ?
Will it be cheaper than the source? These guys don't understand how economics works. They just say anything that comes to their mind like illitrates.

If you're talking of cheap countries. In Mexico, or Thailand you can get one bowl of rice for less than N500. Food cheap there. Whereas in Nigeria you need 2.5k for such food

Nigeria is not cheap in anyway. Not to the world

jjbest123:
Are you done with your noise making?

jokes on you. The biggest noise makers are Nigerians. How many of them have you seen trying to leave their country due to hunger.?


Those guinea guys look far more healthier than many of you.

jjbest123:
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 If I catch you ehhhh....... Dey play first.

that country you're looking down on is 10 times better than Nigeria. You lots better shooting to get to the moon when you can't even fly a helicopter.

And belittling others doing better than you due to arrogance.

Lithiumite:
If Qatar's style is the best,then every country in the world would have been practicing same system but they aren't for a reason.

I just gave you data on how many Nigeria's are already tax exempt due to low income and no one is bothering them.

what do you mean by Qatar style see this idiiot. Which style is your frog eye govt running then?

I can throw in hundreds of samples of different govt around the world making life easier for their citizens. Even from Africa. All over the world.

Only Nigeria stuffing thier citizens with high taxes and high bills while providing nothing but pains and frustration. Darkness, insecurity, hunger, low wages.

And you apc lots always have some bullshit talk to defend it even though it makes no sense.

Your govt can't match any govt in the world even from the poorest parts of the world. From Egypt, to China to Qatar, Iraq, Libya, Gabon, Ghana, USA, Germany.

Please which one can your useless govt match?

Lithiumite:
Degenerate numbskull like yourself.....10% of what.....how many people are paying taxes....there are businesses registered over 20,30 yrs without paying a dime in tax but are still in business.
Nigeria has one of the lowest tax to GDP figures in the world and here you are yapping whatnot about paying taxes...... nigerians are generally averse to paying taxes with the belief that since we have oil,govt should do everything,tell me which country would grow like that.
There is already emerging data that about 46% of Nigerians earn below 100k monthly....that's already a huge number out of the taxable bracket because they are already tax exempt.

yea of course, APC cows will always bark and debunk any stats and proves that contradict their lies.

I agree with you, poor Nigerians should dash your govt all their salary through tax and high bills so they can starve to death. While the govt provides nothing in return

Oil money isn't enough. That one is for stealing alone.

Qatar collects 0 taxes from its citizens and from oil money became extremely rich. The govt pays subsidy on everything.
Their electricity is cheaper than in Nigeria. N54 per unit.

I guess their leaders have four heads and 2 tescilces each.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
That guy is very stupid

What he meant is that Nigeria is cheap and sweet for heartless polithiefcians (who now loot our scarce forex), all manner of criminals (kidnappers, drug barons, arm robbers, fraudsters, Yahoo boys, prostitutes)

Legit workers or businesses now struggle across board

PBAT and his cronies have made sure that if a person don't engage in fraud and criminalities he or she can't feed well.

Food is now a problem. Nigerians are now struggling to feed. What did Nigerians do to Tinubu to deserve all these pains he has inflicted on them?

yea cote divorce has had 24 hours uninterrupted light since 1985, meanwhile Nigerians are awaiting another national grid collapse. Tomorrow or next. 12th or 13th.

But yea Nigeria is sweet according to APC cows.
