sunboy:
What are you talking about? You’re talking in the nonsense there’s no where you get taxed 60%

And what has bank statement got to do with taxes ? Smh

You probably not paying for mortgage, student loans etc.

And you don’t know your financial bank statement.

bankylan:
You LIED. Nowhere in the world where people pay 60% tax. And whoever is calling you every weekend from abroad to send money to them is obviously an illegal immigrant or students still trying to cope. The fact that you don't know how much they even pay on tax casts doubts on your claims here.

In America or Canada where you gave an instance, they don't pay 60% on their first 100k.

The higher you earn the more you’re taxed. Check your bank statement after the end of the year you will realize that 45 percent of income went to tax

primeson1:
All lies bro...who makes 100k and get 40k after tax.
You say tax...when you buy things online, go shoprite in Naija, won't you pay tax? Una want free free things...gluttons.
If you get a mortgage in Naija...won't you be paying it every time b4 the tenure ends?
You can get cable free with ordinary Amazon firestick 4k.
If you go abroad the legal way and have your qualifications...you should get a good job with time and you won't suffer .
Everyone can't make it in life but these abroad countries give a better opportunity than Naija.

No gock.

People won’t tell you everything.

If somebody have never been to Lagos island he will think everywhere is heaven. Whereas any small rain it’s always flooded with water. Same estates don’t have gutters and their homes are flooded . I usually see Lagos Island except Lekki Phase 1 as Kubwa in Abuja.

The point I’m driving at is that earned income is like 50% income. You end up having only 50 percent for yourself at the end of the year. Nobody will tell u this until u experience it yourself.

Abroad people call me every weekend asking me to send money (not bragging). Many of them are frustrated over there. They work long hours including overtime but the government takes federal, state, city, social security, medicare, medicaid and disability taxes. On top of that, when they buy biscuit, they will still take sales tax. They pay exorbitant rent; those who "own" homes are locked in a loan repayment for 30yrs of which they still have to pay annual taxes for their house. Phone bill can cost over $60 per line, cable $120, internet $80 and they still pay tax on top of it. Burger and chips with soft drink can easily cost you $16 plus tax.

Sure some folks are making over $100,000 theoretically especially healthcare workers in expensive states like California and new York, but by the time they deduct all those taxes from their check, they are left with just $40,000. Then they still have to pay more taxes on every thing they buy. That's not life. It's like a rat wheel, oscillating but not making any progress. I have a cousin who was in the same situation in America, after 10yrs working as a social worker, he returned home and we started up a business. He still regrets all the years he spent slaving away in America. Today, he travels the world on vacation and visiting places he didn't even have time to visit when he was living abroad. It's not too late for Nigerians living abroad to return home; you can make it big here with less stress and you will extend your life span.

True . You will just be earning almost 200k dollars per year when you check your account statement you pay 50% of that money to the government.

Be the good thing is the lifestyle. Very good lifestyle

ahaz:
which one is sentimental..you Yoruba's hate hearing the truth cos you are accustomed to lies,decit,and falsehood which is part of you peoples culture and runs in your collective d.n.a
you are confronted with a reputable data from a reputable firm yet,you want to find a hole around to tell a trade mark lie

I’m not even Yoruba.

babasolution:
are there chinese canadians?

If China refused to hold double passport they have their own beliefs. Recently Russia agreed for people to have double passports.
Stop using minority to compared with the majority.

Majority have taken this world as a global village and have agreed to mix with other cultures through marriage , citizenships etc .

babasolution:
the world is embracing nationalism more than ever

Most people prefer to be citizens of both Canada and Nigeria nowadays. That’s globalization.

Now the world is moving global we should go along with it. Nationalism never worked well for us. Globalization could help us.

osaslord500:
Those saying bravo doesn't know how bad this would affect Africa.

Nigerians una too Dey fear. Fear fear till today una no fit protest for better government.

Trump is helping us indirectly. If you don’t see it now pray to the Almighty for direction.

BreconHills:
The seed never falls far from the tree. The lessons of history teach us that unless something fundamentally changes history will either repeat or rhyme with the past. If you look at the pardons that this US government has handed out, the way it has created a US first philosophy, then such a nation cannot tell us it is fighting for good governance. Not when the Afdb is doing so well financially. There are no reasons to assume that a country that is exiting major international agreements such as the Kyoto and Paris climate change agreements has suddenly become a defender of global standards in governance. Not when it ignores governance like that going on in Brazil and the Philippines.

As onlookers we can only take educated guesses based on historical precedent and the stated political posture of states. However the sheer fact of being human means that we must make calls. History is told backwards but while this is ongoing we are wise to act and speak out so that the next generation does not interprete our quest for the facts as a sign of moral cowardice.

What if I told you the USA are just being used as proxy in this fight ? Would you agree ?

BreconHills:
Opinion lol? Everyone has an opinion. But if hypothesis are confirmed by statistical numbers then read any historical account of Africa and the "cold war". I am not even going to give you a selection - read any and I mean any. If you want to go the whole hog apply to view the declassified US state department files from 1950 - 1976.

I know about the Cold War between Russia and USA in Africa . But with what is happening now, everything you typed is just your opinion not fact.

The truth is that we don’t know the reasons they’re trying to ridicule Adesina. We know that appointment of his friends is not the true reason.

Maybe USA is just a proxy in this fight, maybe is USA .

Taye4j:
Good. This country would have been beautiful if we could shun ethnic and tribal bigotry.

As long as Nigeria cannot unite, Africa will not unite.

beejay85:
American stake in afdb can easily be bought off!!
Talk to the arabians....or d Chinese...simple!!

�. Magic wand .

If it was that easy to do things we will be enjoying 24 hours light

BreconHills:
The crime is that some of the loans involved China. Africa must be free to deal with its own issues. The US is free to sell its shares in the Afdb. It must not bring its war against China to Africa. This was what robbed Africa of its resources between 1960- 1990 when the US and the then USSR used African countries to fight their proxy "cold war" leading to the propping up of dictators such as Mobutu in Zaire, the mysterious death of African focused leaders such as Patrice Lumumba. The US should keep its fight with China out of Africa.

That’s your opinion is not a fact.

wetmenow:
When will Africans get their independence from the western world. Asians are growing faster than us. Africans need to wake up.

As long as Nigeria cannot unite. Africa will never unite.

emkz:
They are the highest non-African shareholder (which is an anomaly), as well as the highest shareholder in the World Bank and IMF. So long as Akinwumi Adesina sits there and continues to expedite approvals of loans to African countries by AfDB, loan requests to the World Bank and IMF reduces significantly which affects US lending position through these institutions and ultimately thwart their hold in Africa.

So their investment in AfDB is not out of love for the development of Africa, but out of interests to have a stake in the continent. Akinwumi threatens this position.

PS: Donald Trump employed his daughter and son-in law as well as admitted to grabbing women by the pussy. Why has Steve Mnuchin not called for an independent investigation?

That’s your opinion. It’s not a fact

They have started insulting themselves. Let me leave them.

Next thing, the will burn the building with fire and claim the documents of transactions were burnt .

God Bless General Buhari.

Ezennwa:

Audio Government,

CoronaVirusPro:
All this conmen cant even build their very own home, but will be ministering to you about your own home.

I dont trust short people, and when you now happen to be a short pastor, It exponentially makes you a dangerous person.

If your Pastor is short, better run for your life.

Seriously I don’t like dealing with short people . They are very crafty

Fake pastor. Did the Bible allow people to remarry ?
