SmartyPants:
Some people among us may want to argue that this provision means 200k for the 36 states and another 200k for the FCT. Abi?

Funny how everyone instictively understands the use of and in this context but suddenly dont understand it in the electoral context.

Interesting country!

Yes, he will succeed though the initial decisions are tough on everybody. The govt and the people will definitely get more and more creative with ways to get around the sweet-bitter pills of the oil industry. Many giants will rise from this in no time, we are that creative.

Okealaaye:
That's the President of the Giant of Africa doing it as it should be done. Happy days are here again.

Benwallt:
He has seen the light

O Lule Pii before but now O ti lo.

I only gave you a dose of medication, it will take time to work. Asking more questions won't cure you. Just find something worthwhile to do with your time.

You know the drill, your silly questions are ignored until another time

lexy2014:
But u had time to quote me. That is progress. Let's try again.

Why is that the only thing that APC has to offer nigerians is suffering and hardship?

t seems u can't see that I have been bastardised by buharis imposed hardship and suffering that u now see at as normal

Leave the boy alone. He is right, you can't continue hiding your mumuness with stupid questions. You are not that smart, so you always succeed in fooling no one

lexy2014:
But 4 someone not dumb, am surprised u can't answer just a simple question.

Why is that the only thing that APC has to offer nigerians is suffering and hardship?

It seems u can't see that I have been bastardised by buharis imposed hardship and suffering that u now see at as normal

Mumu nobody has time for your watery questions

lexy2014:
Offpoint. Kindly answer the simple question I asked.

Always remember one thing in life: Learn to put things in proper perspective.

You sound like someone who looks at things only from his own angle. You need to analyse the full spectrum of other perspectives when making a decision.

Brainless questions as always. Grow up kid or just get busy, you are not getting younger .
Don't expect a response to your next set of silly questions

lexy2014:
What exactly will this visit do for nigeria?

Does Google VP need to see Tinubu before nigeria gets foreign investment?

What effort did Tinubu make to get the VP of Google to visit him?

Wicked

99.99% of those advising on this thread are living in poverty. Poor people are very good at advising others.

EPL teams pay well, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool pay very well. Man Utd pay insanely well, but Saudi teams pay astronomically well.

Exactly! I don't know why they are slaves to fear. A young man for that matter. Explore the world, if the adventure fails go back home and reboot. Whatever you have learned across our shores will always give you an advantage. Don't be afraid to start afresh.

blueblood1:
You're young. Give it a shot. It's an experience nobody can really describe for you. You can always come back. Go via education, you have NOTHING to lose

If you patronize Nigeria and put your money where your mouth is more than I have done in my life then you have done very well for yourself. I don't blame any "our leaders", the leaders are from the pool of the masses. If you on Nairaland become one today, I expect nothing different. I will gladly spend my vacation anywhere I feel, Africa or elsewhere. Caribbean countries are not white people's land bro.

Primusinterpares:
Zero patriotism on your part. Going on a boat ride from your river ethiope to umutu is nothing and rubbish.
The whites rubbish everything African and you join them in doing so. You ain't different from our leaders

headboyprince:
which enjoyment is in nigeria if I may ask.. A country filled with war, hunger, bkackouts, potholes, bad internet, inflation, book haram, criminals, kidnappers has no enjoyment..
Reason why people go abroad and no one comes to Nigeria for vacation ..

Use your brain

Na ignorance dey worry most of them.

Many Nigerians abroad now prioritize real vacation instead of that "patriotism-driven" so-called enjoyment in the midst of many entitled sufferheads in Nigeria. By real vacation, I mean Carribean, European & similar cruise trips and also all-inclusive or regular destination trips to nice globally acclaimed locations.

What people face in our airports alone is enough to say goodbye to the mess.

Even God instructed Abraham to leave his father's land to be blessed, same way Joseph was blessed in a foreign land, Esther the same.

The Book of Japa 7:1-10

Canadians are coded, maybe Nigerians out there are learning from them so don't let them fool you
A friend of mine is into IT Training, the way those Nigerians in Canada will shell out $5k in training as if it's nothing will shock you

Apart from the ease of settling and getting kpali, na that country scam pass. How many houses in Nigeria or serious investment are owned by Canadian based? how many u don see or hear of considering the population of Nigerians there.

Gokoyer0:
With that salary in a place like Canada, the tax deduction will not be less than 37.5%.
Can people in USA verify tax deduction on 120k USD salary?

Op, dey play dey play. They say you can earn 10k USD/month. Ask them what will be your take home from it. How much are you going to pay for rent in place where get 10k USD/month job? Let him go to LinkedIn/Quora and ask questions from gurus in his field who are blacks/Nigerians. He comes to Nairaland to be more confused.

Japa is for strugglers! My neighbor that left for UK in 2021 has returned with his family. They sold their bungalow before they left and returned few months ago into a rented 3 bedroom apartment in another area. Many don't have the courage to do what this family just did. For instance, I learned that to renew 2.5 yrs visa for a family of 4 will spend around 15k pounds..

For a single guy earning 120k, he is in the 24% tax bracket but like everything American it is not as simple at that. He is not paying 24% to IRS though he may pay other taxes including state tax along the line (you will see the direct impact of your tax on your life, your community, even your airports). Back to the tax.

His tax on 120k will come down to $22,680 (19%)
That is $16,290 plus 24% of the amount over $95,375.

Keep in mind that he is also accumulating Social Security income for his later years in life. His checks are waiting for him in future.

In addition, most organizations have 401k matching which means he gets extra thousands in free money for investing part of his income into his future. He also has access to traditional and ROTH IRA. Data has shown that each year he contributes, say $6k, yields him $60k per annum in 20+ years time.

Dotherightthing:
Anything can happen anywhere.

Let's learn to live one day at a time.

He made a good point, this your reply to having no contingency plan get as e be.
Plan B: Live one day at a time, anything can happen anywhere

twosquare:
Don't mind him...he doesn't know the worth of a software engineer and how much they really earn...a quick google research will fix that and want to stay in inflation-ridden nigeria where people are being driven into extreme poverty. Instead of him to have both advantages, come do vacation for Naija if he like this place so much.

Don't mind our people. Isn't that what smart people have been doing for ages? There is a reason why diaspora remittances is a huge chunk of our economy, even the struggling still find it in their hearts to send money home. How many at home are of any use to people around them when needed? If he is the investor type, then after some years he can move his base to Nigeria and tap into investment opportunities. To those saying the rich are staying in Nigeria, yes a wealthy person can stay anywhere in the world, even in Niger Republic or Chad and live comfortably.

ednut1:
you want him to live average life abroad Nigeria is the best 😉

Master of sarcasm

You want him to be enjoying his $3k a month until "Nigeria" happens to him abi? I call Nigeria the grandmaster of mirage where anything can change in a moment.

ednut1:
Its not worth it. Stay back in Nigeria .

I japa to Canada 3 years ago sha, just applied for citizenship. With my Canadian passport i know my unborn children wont face all the uncertainties in Nigeria. I work for one of the top 3 biggest banks in the world with opportunities to work in the USA if i chose to which increases my salary by over by 25%. I still have the opportunity to come back to Nigeria to take up senior management positions, or to work in UAE, singapore and other better places

Just don't listen to anyone who has never stepped out of Nigeria. Open your eyes very well so you won't turn to motivational speaker in 10 years time because of missed opportunities. If you can develop yourself to earn $3k monthly from Nigeria, you are the type that will make it anywhere. It is up to you. People suffer everywhere because a cat in Nigeria cannot become a Lion in America or UK. A lion in Nigeria is still a lion in Canada, US or UK. I won't advise on UK though.

O Lule Piii

On the match clip posted, chei. Segun Odegbami was truly phenomenal.

Throwback:
Obi has found his true calling.

He is the President of the Nigerian Congratulations Council, NCC.

.... and is on track to be the third most populous country in the world by 2045.

Dem no dey joke with nacking. Yeye people

Our Cameroon bro don hammer!

On Harry Maguire's stolen mandate we stand.

We dey behind you bros! Show them pepper

loosecanon50:
Wether the CJN conversed with Tinubu or not doesn't matter at this point anymore. Just give a false final judgment and watch loosecanon50 implode.

loosecanon50 is already sitting on a keg of gun powder..all that is left is for someone to light a match stick. The beast you wicked souls created will soon consume you all.

Thank you

Gamesmart:
A country where if a person does wrong, instead of him to face the law and be punished, once he starts kneeling down and begging, the mooorons that live in it will say "forgive him na, he has learnt his lessons" deserves to be banned like this.

Lawless animalistic moooorons!

You create people that don't respect and adhere to laws.

Well put.
We need to hear Oby Ezekwesili's current take on this. Tinubu has done exactly what she regaled about on her social media post 6 years ago.

LegendHero:
This is just like Oby Ekwesili proposed in 2017.

I think Nigeria itself as a country is confused. Before now, we’ve always heard several theories of how subsidy will go, how NNPC monopoly need to go, how there should be full deregulation in the petroleum sector, how market force must decide petrol price, and how they should allow multiple marketers to import the product.

Almost all the above have been implemented by Tinubu. However, the pain that comes with it is unbearable for Nigerians.

This is now where it gets interesting. Almost everybody that was against subsidy removal during Jonathan government are now supporting subsidy removal and Vice versa.

Almost everyone that quoted economic theories about how subsidy is a scam and bla bla bla are now quoting economic theory to say subsidy shouldn’t have been removed, it should have been removed slowly, and etc.

Lastly, if I am Tinubu, I will never back down from this subsidy removal. That is very counterproductive. I would rather focus on more palliative deployment whether it is commodity, minimum wage, tax cut, increase agric yield and etc. I rather spent 3 trillion on these than continue with Subsidy.

Ma'am, I see your point but that was not my intention. I was just kidding and used a random figure to drive home my point on free market, but I understand some of our people don't understand and may think you are overpricing your product. I will delete that part of my initial post.

realestawe:
You just want to have the last word by grouping you, me and IPMAN together. As if. My car price is negotiable as stated clearly. That of IPMAN is not. So yes I felt attacked when you authoritatively mentioned the car should be no more than 2.3m! Won't argue with you though.
