the fact that some countries are going for clean energy which solar is championing, someone is here displaying this level of ignorance

Imagine how proud he is.

This one no be hear say. My brother is using only solar in his hospital. The whole 2 storey building, and has been off grid ever since. 24 hours electricity with ac, water pump, fridges and all tvs . The system has 45 solar panels.
When most of the appliances are on, it say only 25% usage, meaning he can even add more load. 15kva total. Cost more than #10M.

My rule of thumb, if the food is white, it’s most likely not healthy.

There was no where I mentioned that marriage is the only option. I only write that UK has more options and very very easy too.

I think I will stop responding to mentions on this matter.

An elderly family friend that often frequent between UK and US for her grown daughters” Omu gwo described UK apartments like this, “ their houses can’t even contain only my legs”. Those spaces you call apartments in Uk are more like storages or pantry in the US.
There is absolutely no comparison between UK and the US in terms ease of life for immigrants.

US is structured to accept people from outside the country and for them to seek and achieve their dreams. This is why they even have a class of people called Dreamers.
There are so many Nigerians that have left the UK to come live in US but the reverse is not common.

Uk life is “ managing “, in the US even the lowest paid workers can afford to own and maintain a private car for comfort, unlike jumping public buses in the UK. Believe it or not, the US is a country flowing with milk and honey . Lots of opportunities.

What contradiction?

I listed valid points. How Is that contradictory

I also made mention that Asides marriage which makes it easy to get legal status in the states, UK has more options.

You guys should try reading to comprehend and not reading to respond.

Those points are not valid.
Marriage is not the only option in US. There are a lot of family based options.
Have heard of DECA program?

I will broaden your mind this last time.

In the states YES your child becomes an automatic citizen BUT IT ENDS THERE.

UNTIL THAT CHILD IS 21,THE PARENTS CAN NEVER BECOME CITIZEN from his birth.

In the UK once a child is 7years,the child as well as the parents automatically get legal residence status.


As for the salary you mentioned then it is obvious that you overlooked the point I raised.

The cost of living in the states will still take a chunk of that money and at the end, the nurse making less in UK will have far more savings than the nurse in the states making higher salary.

For the accommodation I can tell you for a fact that it is far more affordable in UK. This is a fact.

All the points I wrote are facts.

The people complaining about UK are either illegal with no right to work or the uneducated ones who lack the capacity to improve their skills.

UK is not a country for layabouts or those who choose to remain redundant.

You must do courses to be eligible for many high paying jobs in the UK and i have a friend who chose to remain in Germany doing cleaning jobs and this same guy left a security job opportunity in UK because he simply can't write the course to qualify for it.

I see many people write ignorantly from the comfort of thier rooms about a country they have never stayed as a legal resident and I laugh.

UK is about the best country you can live in the world with fantastic quality of life.

Have you ever asked yourself why those ediots complaining about UK refuse to come back home?

You just contradicted yourself. You talked about life being better for those with legal residency and then went on to talk about legal residence through a child.
Did you even know that as a permanent resident through any means in the US, especially through family, it takes less than 5 years to become a citizen?

otherway:
1. Healthcare

UK has free healthcare across board so much that even visitors don't pay to give birth cos it is considered an emergency which everyone in UK is entitled to regardless of your immigration status. You will only pay for extra treatment as a visitor.

This is not the same in te states and most likely not the case in Canada.

2. Road transport network.

The UK has one of the best network in the world compared to other countries esoecially the states where you will need to get yourself a car of face a very harrowing experience.

3. Accommodation cost...

America has the highest accommodation cost when you compare to the UK and Canada.

In UK you can easily get a shared room for 600pounds where you don't need to pay extra bills but that same apartment will cost you far more in America especially in many urban cities.

4. Welfare system.

The UK has the best social welfare when it comes to taking care of their citizens.

The UK government prioritises welfare so much that no single mum with a minor child is homeless as the Govt provides accommodation for them (even if you don't have resident permit)

The ability to have emergency treatment free is also part of the robust welfare system.

5. Cost of living.

The UK is designed in such a way that the average wage of workers is sufficient enough for you to pay for a decent place to live and groceries are very affordable despite the increment in price unlike America where groceries are more expensive and you even have to pay extra added tax.

6. Salary..

This is the area many people think America is better than the UK but when you consider the cost of accommodation and living cost in America generally, you will realize that it is easier to save 700pounds in the UK if you make like 2k pounds than it will be easy to save 700usd if you make 3000usd a month.

7. Life security

Please I don't even need to write so much on this.

8. Taxation...

People say UK has a high tax but this is a big fat lie.

The UK generally tax you 20% and you don't get taxed at all if you make 12k or less a year.

The America system has a lower income tax but you will also pay additional different types of tax that make it even far more than that of the UK.

9. Ease of integration.

Asides the marriage route which the states is known for, it is easier to have resident permit in UK than Canada and America.

A. You can get your residence in UK if you are a man or woman who has a child with a UK citizen or one with ILR(indefinite leave to remain)

B. You can have your resident permit if you have a child that has no link to any UK citizen but you just have to wait for 7 years.

C. You can have your resident permit if you come to the UK with a minor child... Just wait for the child to live for at least 7 years.

D. You can have leave to remain in the UK if you suffer a serious medical condition and if you can prove that the condition will deteriorate in the absence of treatment and that you can't afford the treatment back in your country.

Let me just stop here.

Only ignorant people who have no clue of how things work will be typing shits.

So you would rather go to UK where your child would have to wait 7 year after birth to become a citizen than a place like the US that the child becomes automatic citizen right from birth?
Also you would rather go to UK where for instance a nurse makes less than 50k per year than the US where nurses make on average 80- 90 a year?
Talking about emergency treatment, did you even know that it is law for hospitals in US to treat anyone with emergency situation, including child birth whether they can pay or not?
And who told you that you can’t find a single self contain room for less 600 dollars in most US state
Everything you listed up is not a true comparison of the two countries.

Good day sir


Please can you link me up with that your door dealer? My client need 3ft and 4ft

I will tell him to send you an email.

Dennis3D:
Is there anyone here selling original direct Coleman wire in Okigwe and Owerri Imo State?

PM me. Thank you

Topsy23 can supply from Lagos, next day. Very reliable.
That was what I did.

Fastest man is dead while de slowest might still be alive, with all his fastness he still couldn't beat Dead.. dead is inevitable,so do good and help others to be alive

Guy, slow down.

If they are really in love, they should forfeit everything, including whatever inheritance.
Their happiness is better than all these strives. Parents will go in not so distant future, and they will live the rest of their lives regretting if they get married to another person.
People forget Children born into such union, where parents are without natural chemistry, grow up having little bit of self hate.

The guy can build his own future and fortune. Whether this lady is old or not, a least we all have seen that she is still fruitful.
The parents will come to terms with reality, when they boys puts his own family together.

Billions123:
I contracted someone to do window design (as seen in picture) for a 5 bedroom bungalow and dude is quoting 780,000 for me. For just window designs oo

Dude thinks I'm a criminal picking money on the floor.

These are the sizes and numbers of windows

900mm*1500mm.... 12
1200mm*1500mm.... 1
900mm*1200mm...... 1
600mm*600mm....... 7

I need someone to give me quote for plastering the 5bd bungalow with these simple window design.

They do charge separately for plastering, window dressing and window designs ( art work) . But some people can do all of those. #780k is excessive. If the windows are not dressed yet, 5k each for dressing of the 20 windows, that is 100k. Then, the art work should be like 10k each x 20 = 200k
Everything should be about 300k at most.
But you will be the one to buy cement and sand.
Good luck!

To be fair, while this rebuttal is listing names of other countries with GDP higher than Lagos, they forgot that Lagos is just a state not country.

Oya car dealers.....

Used/registered Toyota Camry muscle bought 2017 will now be sold for 9.5 million..


Tokunbo.....15Million


.

When dollars was #550, to clear a 2010 Camry was highest #550k ( one thousand dollars). But today, to clear the same 2010 Camry is almost #4M ( Three thousand dollars) .

This is madness !

@Donaldoni come see another breakdown here.
Do you think they deserve more than that #70k ?

Donaldoni:
I wonder if some of you have sense at all

The minimum wage is the basic salary

Other allowances may bring the total package to 70k

Meanwhile, no Nigerian lives on salary alone. That's why we see drivers and gatemen living in their own houses and sometimes having their own cars.

Interesting! I did not they enjoy that much.
Is #40k after taxes?

That is Ojota bus stop

I would want to understand the politics of Niger, why they are so strategic despite not having much. They are not the only country with lithium and uranium.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Am more concerned about those who supply them the hard drugs they take. You know.

It’s not any hard drugs . It’s cow urine and you know it.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Because of their reputation in crime and evil vices.

Are you not concerned that the whole of NE all the way to Chad is still in the hands of criminal elements.

If this was someone from other part of the country, the whole news outlets and internet would have been on fire by now.

What ever kind of batteries you put is entirely up to you, you can buy rechargeable AA batteries and install in them, they take AA or AAA batteries just like your TV remote controls.

I think most smoke detectors have the 9V battery. But like you said, it could be ordinary or rechargeable ones.

Minimum wage #40k

Transportation #500 to work and back = #10k
Lunch at work #500 = #10k (20 days)
Rent #100k a year = #8330 a month
Tithe 10% #4000
Breakfast and dinner #500 everyday = #15k
Toiletries #5k

Total #52330

Savings minus #12330.

Let’s be honest to ourselves, which worker would perform their duty on this salary without compromising?

Kobojunkie:
The God of Isreal required all who belong to Him to pray in secret and hiding, meaning it does not matter whether you have a physical mouth or not, or whether one is born dumb or not, in Jesus Christ. What instead matters is whether your prayer is said in obedience to His commandments and teachings or not - Matthew 6 vs 6 - 15 & John 14 vs 15 - 24.

A person born without a mouth or ability to speak, for instance, is blessed as he/she is better able to comply with the requirement of the Law that is Jesus Christ than one who has a mouth and has no rule over it.

My position is that there is no person without a mouth. I want to be wrong on this ascertain.

jesusjnr2020:
The fact your god doesn't know that not all men have mouths should baffle you more.

All men have mouth. Period . Just that your are half smart. Trying to cherry pick what you consider to constitute the mouth.

Who did they vote for?
Election has consequences

jesusjnr2020:
The fact you're still not getting is that not everyone has a mouth to speak or can speak with their mouth, so what hopes lies for them with your god whose salvation cannot be attained without confession of mouth?

The fact that you still don’t know where the mouth starts and ends baffles me.

jesusjnr2020:
Is that your excuse for your god's selective salvation for those with mouth alone? All that is inconsequential to my God, because He provided salvation for everyone, including those without mouths.

When everyone speak through their God given mouth, no matter the deformity or disability of the bodily member, God listens, answers their prayers and they are saved.
There is no discrimination in that. Roman 2 vs 11. God does not show partiality. It is not about who we are but who we become in Christ Jesus.

jesusjnr2020:
I am not my God who is perfect and inerrant, but only human so it's understandable that I could have some limitations and make mistakes. But your god has human limitations as myself hence why he can't hear the voice of a mouthless sinner who sincerely wants to come to repentance. Your god must be also human then and no different from myself.

I am sure you have your teeth and tongue on your lips and not in your mouth.
How else do you justify calling the orifice (opening) , mouth?
