OreoPaschal:
Well, nobody is worth dying for. 12years ago, my elder sister suffered the same faith. Her husband divorced her, and the marriage was nullified. Sadly, she died 2years after. And the husband remarried. This is someone she dated for over 7years before marrying him.
In as much as I am a lover of love and sacrifice, this is a risky venture. I would advise they seek alternative donor, and if they insist she must donate. She should divorce the husband, and move on with her life. The husband's family won't allow the son to donate if the reverse was her case.

Na Mumu, dey die because of love! grin grin grin

Power it with your plant for at least 2 hours.

There is no longer a subsidy on power it now sells @56.4 Per KWh is not funny for those who use most of this recent meter bear in mind that the weather is very hot. I have bought light of 26k this March, I am just praying this will last till the end of the month.
The only up side is that we have light up to 20hrs a day.
But since price of electricity keeps going up, I am more and more pushed to think of bypassing because I am looking at an average of 40k per month on electricity.
Another option is solar but I think that will be best if I do it in my own house not rented
You can do it now or are you comfortable paying 40k monthly?
FamilyRe: How Do You Manage Energy Consumption At Home? by Rubyjade: 11:46am On Mar 13, 2022
sasview:
Considering this option, I only need a testament that it is viable and reliable alternative, currently I spend average of 40k per month on prepaid with all caution to limit consumption and mostly not at home during the day.
What? If you do 40*12=480k that should get you 2.5kva with at least 2 batteries plus energy saving bulbs.

FamilyRe: Domestic Violence Is An Accepted Nigerian Epidemic by Rubyjade: 11:41am On Mar 13, 2022
BluntTheApostle:
For as long as you continue to fixate on physical abuse, domestic violence is going nowhere soon.

Domestic violence includes:

1. Physical (typically used by men)

2. Verbal (typically used by women)

3. Financial (both genders are capable)

4. Emotional (both genders are capable)

5. Psychological (both genders are capable).

You can't reduce domestic violence by fixating on reducing physical abuse.

Emotional abuse is even worse because it is subtle, and the victim may not know that they are being abused.

If you as a woman are a chronic nag who resorts to hurtful words to hurt her husband, if he hits you, do not think he is the only one guilty of domestic violence. You both are guilty.

I have tried to sanitize society the best I could, but seems like you people just want to play a gender blame game, instead of tackling the malaise head-on.

Stockholm syndrome is a condition which causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors during captivity. These alliances result from a bond formed between captor and captives during intimate time together, but they are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims.

This term was first used by the media in 1973 when four hostages were taken during a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden. The hostages defended their captors after being released and would not agree to testify in court against them. Stockholm syndrome is paradoxical because the sympathetic sentiments that captives feel towards their captors are the opposite of the fear and disdain which an onlooker might feel towards the captors.

There are four key components that characterize Stockholm syndrome:

-A hostage's development of positive feelings towards the captor
-No previous relationship between hostage and captor
-A refusal by hostages to cooperate with police forces and other government authorities
-A hostage's belief in the humanity of the captor because they cease to perceive the captor as a threat when the victim holds the same values as the aggressor
Stockholm syndrome is a "contested illness" due to doubt about the legitimacy of the condition. It has also come to describe the reactions of some abuse victims beyond the context of kidnappings or hostage-taking. Actions and attitudes similar to those suffering from Stockholm syndrome have also been found in victims of sexual abuse, human trafficking, terror, and political and religious oppression.

There was a time I was earning #30 000. My prayer then was that I should get a job where I would be earning #50 000. Now my monthly earning is nearing #100 000 and I suddenly realized that naira has no value.

I am single and I wonder how married people survive earning minimum wage.

Gone are the days one prays to be a millionaire because 1 million naira itself has no value. It can only get you a second hand car.

Osyxcel:
My post a few years ago. In light of the recent amendment, an adjustment needs to be made.

Let me quickly do that.
CareerRe: How Is Paye Calculated For Someone Working Overtime by Rubyjade: 4:32pm On Mar 12, 2022
Personal Income Tax a type of tax that is paid by individuals to the government. It is classified into two: Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) - deducted at source for those in paid employment - and Direct Assessment -for self-employed individuals.

Based on Residency rule, the PIT is paid to the state authority in which an individual is deemed to be resident for the period under review.

As a salary Earner, it is important for you to keep tab of your tax deductions and whether your company remits the deducted tax. You are to be issued tax clearance certificates by the tax authority at the end of each year as evidence of tax payments.

How is your PAYE calculated?

In order to understand how your PAYE is calculated, you have to be familiar with the following terms:

1. Gross Annual Income: This is the total amount of income accruing to you at the end of each year. It includes your salary, allowances, bonuses, benefits in kind (accommodation, car, gardeners, cooks etc.) and other employment income.

2. Consolidated relief: This is the tax free portion of your Gross Income. It is calculated as #200,000 (or 1% of Gross Income, whichever is higher) plus 20% of your Gross Income.

3. Allowable deductions: These are the contributions that are allowed under the Act to be deducted in arriving at the taxable income. These contributions are Pension (8% of Basic salary, Housing and Transport), NHF i.e. National Housing Fund (2.5% of Basic salary), Health Insurance Scheme, Life Assurance (Max of 10% of Gross Annual Income), and Gratuities.

4. Taxable Income: This is the portion of your Gross Income that is subject to tax after deducting the consolidated relief and allowable deductions.

5. Tax rate: This is the rate that is applied on your taxable income. It is divided into bands as outlined below:

1st #300,000 - 7%
Next #300,000 - 11%
Next #500,000 - 15%
Next #500,000 - 19%
Next #1,600,000 - 21%
#3,200,000 and above - 24%

6. Minimum tax: This is applicable where the Gross Annual Income of an Individual is below #300,000.

7. Annual tax: This is the total amount of tax you are required to pay on your Gross Annual Income. This amount is then divided by 12 (12 months) to arrive at your monthly tax.

To calculate your PAYE easily, you can make use of the template I created on Google Sheets here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ufPPkf4yGPq_W0S8VuYTHBvGsIufmn4pmmdp73rtPjg/edit#gid=0

The evil that men do lives with them.

Many men like me won't go and live with their kids but They Must Get the Invitation.

We need money, but everything is not money.

I've heard guys in late 30s complain, you've not seen or spoken to your dad in 3 years. When you eventually met, after 30 seconds, awkwardness follows. nothing to discuss. no bond.

Let's just not make babies, sons and daughters, Let's create friendships.

Iyaebe:
Domestic violence against men seems funny
there is no justification for a man hitting a woman, then there is no justification for a woman to verbally abuse a man. If he continues to walk away from the insult, it ll only be eating him up inside. I find it offensive that you call it "funny". You are in effect saying that men should continuously endure domestic abuse because they are physically stronger? You think that a woman's words do not do emotional harm? Is it just the man who should be understanding and reasonable? Should the woman not learn to respect her head?
