Well said. Dear PO, you're the next President of Nigeria even though we all know you're supposed to be rightful incumbent but God's time is best and would make the victory sweeter.

It’s beta to earn big and spend big..

Their govt do wonders for their citizens and migrants with those task..

Task is like an investment, it pay up big time..

That what most of you don’t understand..


I actually understand your point. Over in the UK you can see your taxes at work in different areas of the economy.

But in Nigeria, the reverse is the case. Your tax is actually used to oppress you.

If you are earning £10 per hour and working 40 hrs in a week, in 4 weeks it will be £1,600

UK govt will not the tax the first £1,047.50 because that is your tax-free allowance and would only tax the balance of £552.50.

For that £552.50 the income tax will be £110.35 while the National Insurance will be
£66.3, it then means the total tax to pay is £176.65

The estimated take-home pay for the month will be £1,423.35

Quite an impressive and apt breakdown.
Though I feel the VAT on purchase and one more other tax was left out by you.

Yet again, impressive breakdown still.

And you don't pay any VAT in Nigerian goods you purchase?

When l read somewhere that Nigerians are the most insecure people on earth, I never took it serious but seeing posts like this, I believe that 100%.
This comment is born out of nothing but jealousy for fellow Nigerians living abroad.

Pls respond intelligently.
At no point did I say Nigerians don't pay VAT.
My point is that both income tax and VAT (plus other taxes) are way higher in the UK compared to Nigeria.
Nobody is jealous of you as I've experienced life on both sides of the equator.
Perhaps living abroad is your greatest achievement and ambition in life

You people are forgetting the tax that comes with that income, as well as VAT on the items purchased. In reality, that £10 is worth 6£

As funny and satisfying it is to see the same tribal bigots who insulted others for voting objectively...na still all of us dey suffer am.

Let's tell ourselves the truth...can we really bear 8 years of incompetent leadership?

Some people had to postpone weddings, marriages crashed, businesses crashed, kidnapping, theft suicide are now normal occurrences..all in this APC administration.

The Judiciary is compromised as well as all other Government agencies. When we are fed up, let's rally and take our future into capable hands.

Romance / Re: Frightening Moment Two-deck Ferry Sinks On Bahamas Trip To Blue Lagoon: One Dies by thelegend1(m): 10:03pm On Nov 18, 2023
Rebuker:


What if there were sharks in the water and other dangerous animals? Those were my own fears because it wouldn't even matter if one can swim or not.

Sharks are territorial but there are measures to discourage them from mauling when in the water.
- excessive splashing of water
- direct hit to their nose
- if you're female, make sure you're not on your period.

Back to my initial comment, that's why I'll need a board or something from the boat to float atop or partially submerged.

But in the end it comes down to:
- having your drowned carcass eaten by sharks
- or have a chance of fighting and eventually surviving (even if it is minus a limb)

Watched this stuff on YouTube, and it was quite vivid and scary. Seeing nothing but open water without land in sight, knowing you're not a good swimmer is quite scary.

Apart from the life vests, I would have dismantled parts of the boat to use as floatation device. Because people put their 100% fate in life vest; only to enter water to discover it is faulty or just a temporary floatation solution.

As for the guy asking is bucaneers is okay, me I have some questions for you.
1. Why do you want to join?
2. Will joining make your life better in anyway?
3. If it gets violent, are you ready for the consequences?

I really like your reasoning and also want to add to it.

Career / Re: My Salary Has Finished by thelegend1(m): 8:29am On Oct 31, 2023
I empathize with you and also the private companies.
The cost of doing business in Nigeria is quite high with meagre returns.

I would actually blame our government and Judiciary that continue to allow bad governance to thrive.

Well said. Looking at betting from the stock angle lies success.

I design staking plans. I use data to test them with over 2000 trials.

If it fails just once, it will fail again. The staking plan becomes dumped while another is created.

The method of selecting winnings, backed by a good staking plan makes trading bets as stocks a job for me.

I greet you. Always ensure I'm on at least 75% wining status

Sports / Re: Lamentations Of Gamblers (Pics) by thelegend1(m): 2:16pm On Oct 10, 2023
When it comes to betting, treat it like you're trading stocks/commodities, not like a get rich quick scheme.

I personally stretched N50k into N100k last week from bets which I used to take care of minor expenses.

The economy has become so bad and the cost of business is high with meagre returns. Hence betting is the easiest thing to yield returns with low investment.

But be very careful not to get hooked...1 loss is equivalent to 5 wins.

I'm still hoping on the day that people will come on this thread to say things like..."since I left cult issues, I made my first legitimate N10m, bought a house, took care of my family and mentored my friends".

All this dragging of superiority, trying to identify which frat person wey done die belong to, counting scores with your fellow brother (meanwhile herdsmen will butcher you fellow indigene and silence will prevail, Dollar is $1 to N1,000, high unemployment in Nigeria, Govt by selection etc...SMH.

Romance / Re: Why Are Women Mostly Attracted To Rough Guys Than Responsible Ones? by thelegend1(m): 9:31pm On Aug 14, 2023
blessingnenye:
I have discovered that women will claim to need a responsible guy, but in actual sense, they don't value them responsible, but rough and playful. I think they love the vibes they get from the rough ones than responsible one.

What do you think? https://loveonet.com/why-am-i-always-attracted-to-the-wrong-people/

It goes both ways...just the same way guys like rough girls (slay queens, side chics and prostitutes).

Both parties are looking for fun with little commitment.

I totally relate to the story and I'm sure most Nairalanders have also.

Whoever can witch hunt, backbite or deliberately denigrate and bring down his co-worker over another man's business deserves his comeuppance.

That's why you'll see some people have no value or meaningful relationships outside the job.

grin Sudan crisis does not seem to matter to the world. No trends on social media, limited media coverage. Being a black and Muslim nation looks like the reason. But of it was Finland or Poland for example our fellow africans will carry it on their head posting flags and donating. Nawa oo .

Our hypocrisy in Africa is unmatched...if it was UK, Canada, US or one of the japa countries involved, the number of prayers on social media will be much.

virginprincess:
From this story it is very clear that the lady was the one who use her own hand to scatter her marriage,her family are not to be blamed in this case because was the one taking her marital issue to them,if she didn't run to them any time she had argument with her husband there is no way her sisters would have being able to interfer in her marriage,ladies should better be wise,i know that there are many useless men but there are still few good ones,if you man is among the category of the few good ones try all your best to keep him because there are other women ready to hijack him at any slight opportunity.

The thing that surprises me is that the Sister advising and gingering that one should leave the husband's house, is still married with kids.
Na when the sis leave her marriage that her eye usually clears, but then it's too late for reconciliation
