BlueSparks: I'm not from these states but I say it anytime anyday
The best location for this projects are
1. Ondo State
2. Edo State
3. Akwa Ibom
4. Cross River
5. Niger/Bauchi/Jigawa etc.
But Ondo and Edo are central to me. It serve the entire purpose of the refinery. Everything
If Lagos, I would have said Badagry, but you know already Badagry is a disaster. But Badagry because it's also close to crude oil source
If we say these things people from a part would call us names. Let's just keep hush my brother.
The best place would have been Apapa inside Wharf port but Dan gote don destroy all the road already and no land. Also the train network starts from there.
NaBanga: I live in the United States. I have been here for years. The majority of those homeless people you see on the streets are drug addicts. There are homeless shelters they can go to. Most of them have family they can stay with. The government even provides apartments. The issue is that they have to stay clean of drugs and they would rather live on the streets than do that. All of these so called homeless people get a check and food stamps from the government. They get more than that, but I won't go into it. What I know for a fact is that they have more than the average Nigerian will ever have.
Which apartment- are you talking of shelter? If u regard shelter as accomodation good luck to you. its full , nasty and full of bed bugs There are some ppl who lost every thing could not pay there bills and got kicked out. esp california and new york
its easy to be homeless in america with no work or business.
Person wey come from naija with father and mother in naija where u wan see family.
Unless u be american of many generations which family. Be like say na alaska u dey.
NaBanga: The government upholds the American system. A "poor" person in the United States will eat better than the average Nigerian. No one is starving in America unless it is by choice (usually drug related). If you don't have housing in America, the government will give you housing. Don't believe the stories about homelessness. In the US it only means you do not have a home with you can pay for monthly and live with your own individual family. If you see the homeless and temporary housing given to the homeless, you would weep for Nigerians. There are so many benefits for the poor in the United States including stable electricity and constant clean water. Just forget trying to uplift Nigeria. Make your leaders accountable.
There is homelessness is America, easier to be homeless compared to Nigeria, especially if you fall on hard times. Go to NY, LA HOuston all the big cities in yankee them full there
forget about government housing, you will not pray for your enemy to live there because it will be full of junkies , prostitues all sort of weirdos.
A 100K monthly salary earner in Nigeria is better than a 400K monthly salary earner in the United States.
The luxury lifestyles some of us live here with 100K, cannot sustain us a day over there. We can’t try such in US and save a dim.
Some of our annual rent here is weekly/ monthly rent over there. Can you pay over 100K naira monthly house rent with 400K monthly salary here in Nigeria? You can’t do that, but you don’t have a choice over there. You pay or kicked out of the house.
Some of our people over there are becoming wiser now. They don’t mind sleeping on the streets, work for at least 5-10yrs, move back to Nigeria with their savings. You cannot survive with 100M living comfortably a year over there. Tax go finish you up. But you can live large with 100M for 5yrs or more here in Nigeria depends on your lifestyles tho.
You don’t pay unnecessary tax here. But in foreign countries you pay almost everything. In naija you can own 10 cars..not in the United States because you pay for packing space for each car. You get the point now?
Some of our people in diaspora, once they earn $10K in a month or so, depends on the job, they’d send $9K down to their Nigeria account and keep $1K for their upkeep. Some would buy lands and build houses for rent or some other businesses. If you don’t do that, you’d work all your life and come back with nothing. Those of you on this method are wise. But becareful of the people you send your money to here. Trust no one! Get a trustworthy lawyer involved.
U can make unnecessary noise or play loud music here. You can’t try such over there and not find yourself in police cell.
So you see….We are privileged here. We only need to get bad political leaders off the way. By getting involved in politics, national, state, LGA and community affairs. That’s how American youth you admire, do.
They don’t just fold hands, wailing and waiting for a miracle. They debate, disagree, challenge, involved and create. You get the point now?
From ur write up you can tell u are still a child and have no experience. Sleeping on the street because you want to save money.
Don’t make me laugh.
U cannot compare x and y
2 different things
Also u obviously don’t understand taxation and taxing %
Predstan: I don’t have to research anything, I live in the US... Just this February, a friend who earns 600k annual got 50k as tax returns after he has initially paid about 37% as tax(he’s only been here for 10years). Stop saying what you don’t know man... no one pays 50% as tax on 150k salary. Not all state tax your income. Property tax in Tennessee for example is 0.64% of the appraised value. The highest property tax you will see is 2%. Estate tax? I don’t know what that shit means. The highest federal tax is 37% on a 500k annual income. If you make less, you are taxed less. Let’s be guided with information we dish out....
Bro that guy is correct , its you that dont know what you are saying.
If you make $600K per yr - Which is more than USA president salary. ( only 0.00001% make this amount)
you will be paying more than 50% tax -Federal income tax -Social Security Tax -Medicare Tax -State tax ( if you live in a state that collect state)
If you are doing businees on the side and you make big money above 400000 -you willpay additional 20% tax.
If you make 21m every year in naija after tax ( in profit ) after paying your bills and you want to throw that a way and move to usa then u are jonesing.
Earing 21mN as salary is different from saving 21m every
MrGoood: I am a businessman and the thing is I am in for money in any choice I make. I made around 22 million in savings last year. Though I cut family and girlfriends off my life to achieve that and am in Nigeria.
But seeing the doings of people outside The country, there was an America based lady that spent over 12 million naira on her mother's burial. For her to spend that much I believe she will have 20x of that amount.
At least for an upright thinking fellow, I feel like am making less so am thinking of relocating. Can I make over 22 million yearly in savings in USA, If no how much can I save? Talk from your personal experience pls, Let stop deceiving each other pls, How much did you save annually in USA? Please let be sincere.
There is no chance - that is a fairy dream.
Government dont play with tax. The more you make the more tax you pay.
