manny4life: If I understand, you're referring to the "TIPS" portion of your taxes right? They are because most states and even the FG (uncle same) recognize tip as a form of wage or income and are subjected to taxes as by the IRS code.

manny4life: Haba, that'[s not true na, every business pays taxes even employees pay income tax and it ain't "near zero" either. The only difference in my opinion, there's less stress than the west. Here you PAY EVERYTHING. Even the bills can run someone crazy as opposed to Nigeria, you're not burdened 'enslaved' so much.

Musiwa2: I dont think that is a smart move... He is putting the lifes of his staff in danger... Everybody is moving away from the north. because there will be trouble.. We are been honest with you. Those people up there will end up blowing up the embassy.

Even it will be hard for God to save Nigeria. I am telling you as an honest person. That it will be hard for God to save Nigeria.


This is the honest truth... Because It will be hard for Jesus to save Nigeria.. The chance that Jesus can save Nigeria is less than 10%. The 10% is miracle from the satellite pictures.. This is why they remain in lagos. to protect themself ..


Why take a risk when you know the people you are dealing with... they dont give a shiit about you. Even during sept 11.. they went out on the street rejoicing that Osama bomb the US .. What do you think will happen to the building.

Do you people , think they are acting up the scene.

Even Britian when it was in Nigeria.. Stay far away from them.. they dont even most time allow southerners to ente their houses .. Not to talk about putting sure where 98% chance they will end up bombing up the building.

The United States on Friday commenced the construction of its embassy annex, which will accommodate three of its agencies in the Diplomatic Drive, Central Area, Abuja.

The Ambassador, Mr. Terence McCulley, said at the ground breaking ceremony that the project, which would cover 7,500 square metres, would cost $119 million.

McCully said that the building would house the US Agency for International Development, Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Defence, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

He also listed a five-level parking garage, a swimming pool and a marine security guard quarters as part of the project.

McCully said, “Many of these team members work out of other office buildings, and must travel to the Chancery building for regular meetings.

“After the completion of this annex, they won’t have to leave this property for meetings.

“Their trips farther afield will be simplified within a coherent support structure. This effort will also improve the conditions under which we all work.”

The envoy said the initiative was a signal that the US considered Nigeria as an important partner.

“Our presence here is critical to maintaining that partnership. It is also a sign that the US is solidifying its commitment to staying engaged in Nigeria,” he added.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Olugbenga Ashiru, said the timing of project was important, given the nation’s current security challenges.

“America believes in Nigeria and its future, and takes a long term view on our relations. We will continue to work together for the success of our bi-national commission,” Ashiru said.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Mohammed, said the new construction further indicated that Abuja was a safe destination for investment and tourism.

He commended the embassy for its contribution to the city’s development.

The event was witnessed by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha; Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu; and members of the diplomatic corps.

The U.S Embassy in Nigeria was moved to Abuja in 2000.

It still maintains a consulate in Lagos and plans to open one in Kano soon.
