itsJude:Go to wikipedia and read about her, her folk payed for her tuition in Corona, VI and further studied in the UK. Costing them thousands of pounds and millions. The babe ain't broke herself |
Roland17:Right now I so wish I can make that beans combo. But my stomach won't tolerate it. I am sad ![]() |
ihatesycophant:Wow!! Bravo! This is the best comment I have ever read on Nairaland. Thumbs up! |
salford:I like you, you're real. Bia, bjhaid, since I have lived abroad my eyes have seen only one man in a car with a Driver. I repeat only one! |
CFCman:Bros, beans and eggs! I pity your co workers today ![]() Just imagining all those silent but dangerous farts ![]() Food for my dog crew, Wehdone sir, continue ![]() |
Chelseafan1:o yes of course |
Protein0:I am shocked reading this. You mean that this is the stress Nigerians go through to shop on Aliexpress. Wow! In Germany here you just download the APP, choose what you want, click buy, enter your credit number. We have no limits on how much should be on the card or at any point. Why is Nigeria restricting online shoppers to only 100$ Just enter your credit card, address and within 3 weeks it come to you. If you're not around the delivery people give it to your neighbour and leave a note on your mail box. The best part is once you open a dispute even if its just a little error they refund you immediately. I honestly prefer them to Amazon. I have sent screen shots to my friends. No 5 is particularly shocking I must say |
CFCman: |
Toppytek:let our brothers in the US reply. I don't know the names of taxes they take but Uncle SAM will sure take his money ![]() Your rent will depend on where you live. My friend in east Germany pays 250€ for same apartment. However most people won't want to live in those parts. Then any credit taken will also be deducted, phone bills and many more will be deducted. What comes back to you after all deductions is the main thing. Your savings is the koko. This is something that is way easier to do in Naija- to SAVE |
samuelkingz:Haha when I was in Nigeria I used to calculate it like you. Sorry bro it doesn't work that way o. Here you are heavily taxed from your income that is what they use in developing all the social amenities around.Let's say I earn 43,000€ per annum that 3,500€ per month in naira @ 450 exchange rate its 1,575,000 million naira per month (chei this people are killing us here) however, after uncle SAM or Aunty Merkel in my case is through with me(deductions from tax, social insurance, health insurance, job loss Insurance, church tax, TV tax, etc) I am finally left with only about 1900-2000€). Mind you government must take their money first before it gets to you. When you see what comes back to you, you wont find it funny o. Like my last salary, I looked at my Gross, smiled then came down to the bottom of the paper and wailed Then I pay rent in a small apartment for 1,100€ monthly! That's about 495,000 naira per month! what is left is transport(expensive!), feeding(thank God its cheap), send money home etc To get major things done like to buy a good car, house you need credit. Cost of living abroad is very expensive. So never use your Nigerian judgement to evaluate our pay here. Its a totally different ball game here. That's how advanced countries operate. Even if you aim to earn higher its higher taxes too so at the end of the day everyone is around the same bracket. You won't be poor, you will be comfortable but defibately not rich in Naija definition. Throwing money all around, and employing cook, driver, house maid etc nobody can afford that except the very very wealthy. And when you work here, you work HARD, no lazying around or gisting, work time is work time. |
I have been to klinikum Recht der Issar It's a university teaching hospital. They have good specialists and latest up to date medical equipment. Yea, not surprised they billed her over 30,000 dollars. Healthcare in Germany is very expensive. That's why it is a must for everyone to take up health insurance because it is unaffordable. However I must say that this case has lingered for long. And form what I have observed no doctor / hospital is perfect not even the ones abroad. I used to think doctors abroad perform wonders. But I discovered that they and their outcomes are not perfect. There is no surgery that will give you 100% relief. Further follow up care, therapies are still needed. In this case you can't have a one time surgery and expect to be perfectly okay. You need to keep going to the doctor for consistent care and learn to live with the limitations that the treatments will also bring. I have an advice to Stella Monye but I cant say it online. But with it she can bring her son here and get treatment almost for free. The key is continous access to the hospital even after surgery. Plane tickets and visa alone May be all she needs. Leme not say more.. |
After he dumped Patricia Leon, his beautiful wife A former beauty queen (Miss Universe or so) hardworking and rich. She was way richer than him and helped his career. I remember she said she is cordial to his other baby mamas. I was shocked he divorced such woman. Alibaba praised her to high heavens then. |
wizzywisdom:Stop it o the money is mine. |
fuckyoumhen:Bros, someone who can only afford to rent that flat can never own that amount of money. My bet is on the owner of the house. Must have kept the flat to himself for cash storage Since no one wants to claim this money, EFCC na me get am, the money is mine biko. I claim it ![]() |
Cindino20:You want to tell me that you don't know that there are women back home married to abroad based husbands whose husbands have told them that they need to get married for papers? Situation they find themselves put them in that way. Its either that or deportation. The Naija wife underststands and is party to the arrangements. The women know very well. Some wait till the divorce is final before their husbands can file for them to come over. Others can't, so the only way is to join their husbands through separate visas. This for example if the man wants to make a family with his wife. The husband won't file for them as spouse. They come with visit visa and other means, live separately and wait till the man can set himself free then the husband now files for citizenship for the Naija wife. Its happening that I am 100℅ sure. And my own, aunty and her husband did it!!! Now they are both citizens and the white woman is off. In the Germany that you live have you not been seeing the bizzare things people do to get papers especially the aduros?? Common!! |
Cindino20:Not that you deserve a response. People I know of course didn't relocate with family reunion. There are many other types of ways to relocate abroad. I repeat, I have met about 2 in person!! And I heard of more plus there is a film acted by Liz Benson on it. Got better things to do ![]() |
Is it YouTube channels whatched by Nigerians or Nigerians on YouTube? There are some sisters I follow on YouTube they have far above this numbers. Peakmill a Nigerian girl in the USA has 957k subscribers and equally same number of viewer ship. She is so good that companies replicate her wigs. There are so many of them that I am subbed too. And they have way more viewer ship |
ogaibe1:Of course they live separately without the oyinbo wife knowing. Abroad, nobody 'takes care' of you. Everybody works to pay their bills. You both contribute finances. There is no housewife here. Even my former flatmate still married to a German woman went home to marry and I knew when he was making plans to bring in his naija wife. And the strategy for her to stay elsewhere and claim benefits. What lie? Don't be silly. If you're ignorant of something own up to it and stop passing judgements on what you have absolutely no idea about. There is a film Liz Benson acted in scenes were shot in Nigeria and abroad. She acted both as the mother of the man and the fiancée. She knew her son was married but they didn't as a family acknowledge the white woman. She then travelled and was living separately from her when she relocated. Its a film but the story is REAL. many people do it |
I know some ladies here who relocated and they can't live with their husband after doing big wedding in Nigeria. This is because the man is still legally married to his wife so this men actually run two homes. The paper wife is legal while the Naija woman is illegally married to them pending when they can divorce. Its a really sorry state. When they get here they find out that it's not as fast and as easy as they expected the man to leave his wife and to be with them. One babe I personally know gave up everything, her job, her life back just to be with this man. After the elaborate wedding they had in Naija. Years gone by the dude won't divorce his oyinbo wife. The few times she has secret access to the man she posts it on Facebook and her friends are envying her not knowing that she is lonely and cold here. Many such girls abound abroad. |

EppPliss:I would suggest that you remain on the first thread you started. Why open another ,I am watching as events unfold and I hope to chip in too. You need a detailed medical bill estimate. If you can't reach doctor David, the doctors especially the consultants at the current hospital you use can help with a referall too. You can google too, read reviews online, contact the hospital of your choice in India, scan and send your documents and they will give you a cost estimate and other guidelines as well.Apollo hospital Bangalore is tested and trusted however feel free to make your choice. |
Just negodu how they chained this guy as if he is a crimina Cc Lalasticala |
ayesco202:I think it was a typo He wanted to type did not died |
oluitele:Very true. Everyone no matter their status in life will answer the call. |
Don't aim for riches, desire to be contented with who you are and what you have. Run your own race, your life is personal. Love you, don't allow anyone to make you hate yourself. Never compare anything you have in your life to others. Those who make it a habit to show off all they have; I have discovered time and time again that I was jealous for nothing. Never look down on anyone. You can't predict their tomorrow. They may turn out better than you at the end. Lastly, if you find pure, true love you will truly be contended and happy most times. Something a fat bank account can never measure to. |
bonjovi12:I feel your pain. My suggestion is fight for what you want. Don't give up. Try another IVF in a place with greater and verifiable claims to higher success rates. Don't just go to a 'cheap' one. If you can afford it travel abroad. Google IVF centers with most successful rates. Heard of a center in Spain with really high success. If that fails, try surrogacy. The "corrections"(surgery I believe) that you both did may not have been successful. The path to success could mean you both need to go through further tests in a well equipped hospital to find out why the first IVF failed. Before you try another. Its important. Get an expert opinion of your chances through IVF. If possible get a second and even a third. If the opinions you gather show that your chances maybe slim then don't waste money, go for surrogacy. Let the one among you lacking more reproductively be replaced by a surrogate. Doctors would know best according to your situation. Option 3, Adopt a child both of you can love, care for and devote yourselves to, if not for anything to shift your depression away and have a little angel to look up to while you still wait. Years later it could still happen naturally, you know. Don't give up. And count the blessings God has blessed you with. Don't dwell too much on what you don't have for now. |
olujastro:Bros 500€ for the entire trip can't be enough. Use GoEuro app to check transport costs flights and trains to this places with it. Then in addition your internal transportation cost while in this cities. Add your feeding. Feeding while on a holiday is usually more expensive because you will be forced to eat in restaurants all through your vacation. Then factor in hostel or airnb home stay. I didn't mention hotel because with that budget a hotel stay will be definitely out of the question. Then the best part of vacation which I love the most is the shopping! I can't visit a country without buying something there. |
9jakohai:My brother can I buy you a cold bottle of beer? You got it. Apart from taxes every soul in Germany who works pays for health insurance. I pay 180€ per month!!! That's equivalent to 72,000 naira per month! Just yesterday my health insurance provider told me that if my salary should increase they will increase the rate. For those who do not need to use the hospital here you must still pay it. That's the norm here. Its so strict that if you don't have health insurance you won't be given resident permit. We get good healthcare abroad because we pay so much for it. Imagine you want to travel to common India for a simple surgery, you will cough out millions for your medical bills. Bottom line is good, quality healthcare is not cheap. For Nigeria's healthcare to be better people must be ready to either pay more in cash or by insurance and also those at the helm must be accountable for monies in the hospital purse. |
The funny thing is that there are many Italian citizens here who had to migrate to Germany to look for work. They are ready to do just any kind of work. If its so hard for them then how much more with immigrants? Not every country is doing well at the moment. |
femo86:It doesn't go that way. The cost living in Nigeria is way cheaper than abroad especially in Germany where I also live. With such salary your tax is almost insignificant. But here you pay high taxes according to your income plus other deductions that the government takes from your salary at the end of the day the rest that comes back to you, health insurance will deduct theirs, rent will take theirs too (monthly o),plus phone bills, TV radio fees, gas for car, car insurance, transportation, and many other bills waiting to swallow your salary. At the end of the day the savings you make cannot be compared to those in Nigeria. Living abroad is like living to pay bills. They never stop coming. But in Nigeria you can suit your living to your income. And bills are a choice and really few. At worst the bill that will come at the end of the month is NEPA bill. You can choose not to pay it. But here if you miss one bill, just one, you will be charged to court. |
skypeme:So just because of some negative comments you got here you're beginning to think you made a mistake in marrying your wife? Uh?! Why would you even come to nairaland to seek advice in your marriage? Those commenting here, you think theirs is perfect abi? Many are little kids here and you have read comments from all sorts and you started regreting. Will your wife remain a student forever? Do you know what tomorrow holds? What if she becomes the bread winner one day?Mr. Man sit your wife down and talk to her. Tell her your feelings. Communicate and resolve things amicably. |


the money is mine.
