I don't know when African leaders will be able to think for themselves! Holding a meeting to supposedly better the lot of Africans, but you can't come down to Africa? Labour prefect don summon una na... Make una go ansa present. Nonsense!!!
Politics / Re: Military Will Not Heed Call To Overthrow Tinubu’s Government – COAS Lagbaja by SeniorGee(m): 5:58pm On Aug 28
The bad thing about a coup is that all of them will be consumed. It's not the senior officers that plan coup, it's usually radical junior officers and men. They will not see it coming. The only way to avoid the coup is to get the right things done.
One day the poor will have nothing to eat but the rich...

It's like the Chelsea players don't know what to do with the ball ⚽. I think they even forget that they are competing! Enzo Fernandez is highly overrated. Lavia impressed

Travel / Re: I Was A Victim Of Subtle Racism In My Workplace Today by SeniorGee(m): 6:42am On Jul 24
Even though there are many really nice Canadians, don't be deceived, some of them are pure subtle racists. Immediately you noticed that you should have reported.
You just have to see this through. I am sure they know the character of the other staff involved so just try to articulate the events properly. Don't be afraid to express yourself where they are. Most of them that behave that way are easily intimidated and cant stand confrontations. Wish you good luck.

Subtract tax and cost of living. Then the cost of earning that money

That is after tax. Good enough the taxes were refunded after filing because we did not earn up to a certain threshold.

Gandrova:
pls can you share your success story?

Yea, Briefly..
Graduated as a geologist in 2008, served '09. Got a job as a site supervisor 2010 and started with 35K but was 50k when I left the company in 2018. Got a high prospect job with one of the oil servicing companies 2018 and I was elated. pay was good, in excess of 300k. Then Nigeria happened. After a few months we were replaced by guys from the north (the chairman of the company is from Kano, and he literally replaced us with his kinsmen). I felt betrayed, and I made up my mind to leave, at least to where hard work is rewarded. Migrated with my family 2022 to Canada, and God has been faithful. I am not there yet, but I have hope now, I have a clear path and direction, I can plan. There are obvious challenges, but I hang on to the positives. Currently running a post grad diploma. Miss home, food, social circles, but I need the money, comfort and security too. I cant complain. Grateful to God for his mercies in all.

Please and please, if you want to japa, have the proper documentation and follow the routes approved by the government, the system will take care of you.

My 2 cents

If I go by your calculations, it means your 2 year salary in Nigeria, is your monthly bill in your new found country.

That’s the point I wanted to buttress.

It people like you I always encourage to leave Nigeria just wondering how much your annual salary was in Nigeria for you to make it in 2 weeks anywhere in the world. Am really grateful to God in your life

Thank you.. I was earning 50k as a graduate before leaving in 2022, I did 2 jobs and made at least 2,800 monthly. Currently running a program to upgrade.

And how is your monthly rent? Your 2 years in Nigeria 🤣🤣🤣

I always laugh at y’all who convert foreign salary to Naira. Do you spend Naira there?

Convert your monthly rent and bills to Naira too, and tell people.

Two weeks pay takes care of my bills, the other two is savings.

I think the bold is overly simplistic.
PS: I speak about life generally and not about any particular location.

There are lazy people who have succeeded - such is life. One bum has a contact who succeeds say at politics, and boom! Or one talented but lazy artiste pens just one song, and boom! Or forget all these. Lets be more direct. Lazy man wins the lottery - boom! Or lazy woman meets billionaire who likes her bum bum - and boom!

There are hardworking people who will die not just in poverty, but in the worst kind of desperate, wretched poverty.

Life is a mystery. Believe you me, I am not saying hard work isn't good - it's great (best when its smart work) - I am just saying life is a many-splendored thing.

Someone once said he had seen slaves go on horseback while princes go on foot.

You may be right but within the context of our discussion here, I meant to say that some people select/discriminate Jobs. Some come with a set mindset and find it difficult to adapt. Determination is sacrosanct to success

Nope, I earned my yearly salary in 2weeks. If you're not lazy, you will make it. Nothing like menial jobs, there is dignity of labour here. Its challenging but you can do it...
