You can make you opinion known without being subtle insult. I believe you can do better. I will not be exchanging either fact, opinion or argument with you Sir cos it can only end one way, more insult. Have a good one out there

pappilo:
You are the one chatting dust. Arrest is an investigatory tool. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people are arrested every year. If I cut myself with a blade and call the police and tell them ABC stabbed me, the police will arrest ABC for "a prompt and effective investigation" (PACE code G).

They arrest not because you are guilty but to aid their investigation i.e interview you, take DNA and biometric samples, seize evidence. As a precaution they will release you on bail while they continue your their investigation and a condition of the bail will be to not go near the victim.

Women know this and thats why they make up all kinds of claims. Although not all allegations are false.

What's different between UK and US? Not much. The simple fact is what I am trying to say. It is not the duty of the accuse to prove his innocent, it is the duty of the accuser to prove the accuse is guilty. If you accuse someone of fraud as the OP claimed, the wife has to show proof that the man is into fraud either in Germany, UK, US or even Nigeria....

Judybash93:
But OP lives in the UK

Please don't tell me what you don't know nothing about. I live in the States, going thru a divorce at the moment. Like I said earlier, thw OP is not telling full story. NOBODY arrest you for visiting your house except there is a restraining order against you and you don't get locked up for forgery allegation except there is a proof..

KingAzari:
You never see anything.

Let me tell you, in the western countries, the most powerful people are in this order:
1. Women
2. Children
3. Animals(Birds, Fishes & Mammals)
4. Trees/Environment/Ocean
5. Gay men
6. Straight men (This is where most of us - the most endangered group - belong). SAD truth.

The day I told my white boss that I was getting married he wept for me just the way angels wept for people on earth the day God ostracized Satan to earth. He practically told me not to get married that I would live to regret.

Op is leaving some important information. Nobody arrest you for going to your house except you have restraining order against you. Don't make it look like men don't have right in UK, US bro. Allegations without proof holds no ground in sane climate. If his wife accuse him of marital rape, abuse and forgery, she will have to prove beyond reasonable doubt such activities happened. OP it's either omitting or does not have a full story.. Talking from experience

Health insurance does not work that way. The theory of health insurance is pulling resources from lots of people to help few people who are ill. For example, my daughter's birth 2 years ago cost $30k due to surgery and I did not get a single cent as bills. My wife and I have good insurance and they take care of the bills.
I know of someone who had Covid bad. Stayed in hospital for over 2 months, was on ventilator and almost died. His bill was almost 2 million dollara and medicare took care of it without sending him a bill.

MrGoood:
Stop this Bigman of a thing, I watched a program on bbc , Many re in USA jail because they don’t have 2000$ For bail or whatever, I can’t really remember because it been long so I can’t recall that much, I don’t know what there offenses re, Simultaneously That means you can have health issues in USA and insurance won’t help much , so you think insurance will cover 70,000$ health bills when you actually don’t pay more than 100$ health insurance monthly? they will cut a deal with you not pay all, Stop making Nigeria look bad pls, We have issues but no where is 200% sure

Half of his freshness is attributed to sophisticated camera lense used in the recent picture compared to the camera he used to snap the picture while leaving Nigeria. I met olosho for pof, met for Applebee only for her to look half beautiful when compare to the pictures on pof. Since then, video chat or no date. Lesson learned.

Which country?? You are wrong if you talking about US, maybe other countries. Are you talking about hotel?

Coldie:
Most houses u rent is all bills inclusive

Drink and drive is thw quickest way to return to Naija for yankee. Even yankee citizen life will change for the worst if you get a DUI.. We grown bro, don't drink and drive cos you can kill someone... Simple

Coldie:
Maybe wen I start paying that. To drive car dz side law too much. The worst of them is if u take alcohol and drive and they detect it during a stop over they can withdraw ur license for it. Stup1d laws.

You mean you don't pay taxes, car insurance, phone bill, light, gas bill?. I bet you are staying with your uncle,lol... I am just joking, catch the bus cos car insurance is a must, and work under the table cos tax are deducted from source....
You can link me up your way to avoid taxes please but I will pass on health insurance cos I have been there before and I can see how poo can get real when you fall sick without insurance...

Coldie:
I don't pay most of those things but I know am sure of sure 1m every month after bills

Making 1 million naira abroad is not easy when you factor your bills. Let say you are in yankee. You make $25 hr + and average $1200 weekly. Federal, State, social security, medicare tax already take $300 and extra $100 for medical , dental and eye insurance. $800 × 4 = 3200. Your rent, car note, student loan repayment, gas, car insurance... You will be lucky to save $300 at the end of the money... Not easy except you..... You know what I mean...

Coldie:
I be business man for Nigeria before I relocated I used to have laundry shops, barbing saloon, super market business, bar, betting shop, cyber cafe and pos shop.

D stress and frustration to run business for Nigeria no be here.

Since I moved abroad the benefits surpass anything Nigeria could have ever offered me.

Making a million in Nigeria no easy but to make a million for abroad u fit get am in less than one month doing easy jobs based on how much Nigeria money keeps falling abroad keeps getting more attractive

Get tour fact straight. There is no parole in federal crimes. You will finish your sentence in full.

smile11s:
He will not do the 10 years. He will be deported early like in 2 to 3 years for good behavior.

Oil is no longer a blessing. The world is moving away from oil. Germany generate my energy with renewable source than the whole of Africa. Venezuela has oil badges floating at sea that nobody want.
Gone are those days when nations wealth is judge my their oil deposits.

Cyberterror:
The Gulf of Guinea holds Nigeria's largest offshore oil deposits estimated to last another 100 years. Nigeria is indeed blessed.

Even with CCTV, a car without a license and criminal with covered face leave you with nothing to work with. A good look at the man's life will have traces that when connect together, it might lead to something to solve his murder.... CCTV hardly help with premeditated crimes cos such criminals already dud their homework before committing such crime.

mctfopt:
I wish we have CCTVs around many public places. It may not prevent a crime, but at least we may get to see the criminals and hopefully capture them. Sadly this case is dead on arrival...the police will just come and tow vehicle to their station. And demand some ridiculous amount of money when the relative or kin comes for it. The story ends there. What a country!

Absolutely..

Juliusmomoh:
Good day sir...
Can i study outside nigeria using NECO result ? ... Thank u

I was once in your shoe. No permanent residence and was caught in-between investing in myself or start building a house in Nigeria. I chose the former and I was glad I did. I triple my earning in less than 2 years and was able to start building the same house with less stress. The point is, even when you start building the so called house, the return on investing will be low cos it makes time to recoup your investing in real estate. Invest in yourself, increase your earn and you can go on and build yourself a house and do other good stuff.

Be objective. They are in business to make money and not a charity organization. Staff will be let go due to decrease in price and demand for petroleum products. I guess you want them to pay people for doing nothing at work. Your emotions is speaking for you..

crossfm:
E no shock us.

Anything goes in Nigeria. No one will ask them any question.

The sai babarians will soon blame covid 19.For them the government is doing so well and American is using our blueprint to succeed over there.

Agreed with you that development is relative but don't be fooled by first world countries either. 10 miles away from downtown Chicago, you will see houses falling apart, pot holes big enough to make you lose control of your vehicle. Our states government need to up the construction of roads and people will bring development to places even without government intervention as long as their is motorable roads

babag93:
Well.. The definition of development is relative.
What we call development here is an insult in first world countries.
Whenever we the people are ready, we’ll get the right people into positions they can make ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT CHANGES.

A one eyed man is the king in the land of the blind..

What do you mean "WE" have no choice?
Let me spell it out for you so you can understand we have a choices and the timing is wrong.

United States had borrowed $6 trillion to bail out her economy during this pandemic

United States social security savings is short $16 trillion and will go bankrupt by 2035.

Despite the huge borrowing the government did, they still realize the economy can't be left alone to go into recession and pay $600 for the few months of pandemic to boost purchasing power of Americans. Nigerian government, in it wisdom things now that the economy is already in recession is the appropriate time to increase gas and electricity tariffs. That is plain DUMB.

kikero:
Because we have no choice

Nigeria isn't earning enough from oil at all. Oil prices have been low for ages. Then there is the covid19 economic slowdown.

We should have removed this thing since

( Back in 2012 when we should have removed it, many people asked the same question you are asking now.)

Unless you want us to keep on taking loans.

You made a valid points but my problem is why now? Why now because the economy is already is recession and increasing the prices of necessities will make the economy slide into depression. This government should have started fading out subsidy in power sector over 4 years ago but why wait now when average Nigerians are without jobs and can't even feed their families.
Government world over are stimulating their economy by boosting purchasing power but Nigerian government is doing the reverse and how do they expect to pull the economy out of recession... To me, removing subsidy on anything now is nothing but voodoo economics and will make everybody worse off with the government inclusive.

kikero:
Yes.

Here is how it worked (I've been reading a bit )

1. When discos and gencos were set up, the government of your hero GEJ in order to keep prices low made discos sell power at a low rate...with the idea that government would pay them a subsidy of sorts.

2. Government has been struggling to pay that subsidy since then , especially after APC took over. In 2016,the discos took out a paid advert begging government to pay up.

3. Today, as one report put it, government has been spending 1 trillion naira annually subsidising the power sector.

4. This is because it costs 53 naira to produce one kWh of power,while we pay 30 naira or less till recently ( and the recent increase affects some customers not all). That means a loss of 23 naira at least per power unit sold

5. This makes it difficult for discos to pay gencos and this is why discos reject electricity. When you are operating at a loss, you can't buy stuff.

6. Gencos, especially the gas reliant ones, have to pay for gas . In dollars. From the open market. CBN hates releasing dollars to them.

7 . Banks won't give loans to the power industry because no one loves loaning cash to a subsidised industry

8. Hence the recent price increase. In my opinion, government should even hands off setting prices and let the discos look for money. Power would be more expensive, but at least, we save money from not paying subsidies

9. That's a brief history of the issue

Depression loading. This is not a good time to sack employee if government can afford to pay their salaries. The economy is already in recession and mass sacking will slide the economy into depression and that will be bad for everybody including the government

You can save yourself the " self employed" story please. Naija economy is already in recession and not even self employed people will be save due to shortage of cash. Only few people are getting paid and those getting paid are on half salary and even government on all levels are readjusting their budget which means there is fire on the mountain. Only government bailout can save the situation just like Yankee doing.

Uae01Dirham:
Wahala!

This is why is good to be self employed. No matter how much salary you earn, job wen no be your own no go ever be your own!

They must sack/retire you someday and the worst part be say e fit happen when you no get savings

Please if you are earning above 200k naira, Biko start small business for back up oh. Make you no come here d paste aza for us. We no fit fall for “local” scope

Can somebody tell the government bailout is needed just like it's done everywhere or the economy is going to slide into recession.

Thanks. I decide to omit the country cos NL people sometimes reason somehow but the lession of the story is skill. I am presently helping a friend to go learn a skill. With a good skill, you feed your family any part of the world and that is the definition of a man. We ain't all going to be rich but feeding my family brings satisfaction and I can always hold my head up high.















[quote author=BennyDGreat post=92451471][/quote]

God bless you, your family, and your hustle. You took the word out of my mouth. I will be a little detailed. There is nothing you can compare to skill to in Naija, US, UK, or any other country. Young people need to learn sustainable skills and not just jump from one hustle to another cos those skills are not transferable and you keep starting all over and the cycle continues. I remember when I left Naija in 2014. I did warehouse labor and wanted to die and I hate group-home work with passion and that is a no go area for me. I decided I needed skill and concludes truck mechanic is what I want. I went to a community college close to my house and acquire a skill and that was the best decision of my life. Now only did I work as a fleet technician with Coca-cola with good pay and benefits but also an Adjunct Professor with a technical school close my place. Hustle can only take you but so far but the answer to poverty and joblessness is SKILL, SKILL.

Redman44:
Bro, I thank God for your life. However, I think you should apprentice yourself to a Plumber, Painter or Carpenter and learn some skills from them. If you humble yourself and apprentice yourself to any of them, they will take you along to sites and they will pay you some stipend everyday for being their assistant. If you learn quickly, you can start doing your own private jobs when you are free. Carrying pans of cement and sand etc is a very difficult job. You have to be extra strong to survive on jobs like that. Plumbing, Painting and Carpentry bring in more money if you are gifted in those areas. Cheers.

Recession loading and possibly would graduate to depression. Nigeria economy is stimulate by government spending and now that all level of government cutting spending, we are in trouble. This is the time for the federal government to stimulate the economy by injecting cash or else we are heading to a very bad time that would be worse than great depression.

Nice. Let's take this conversation off NL. I will hit your mail up. Thanks

Negro1:
I own trucks. Not a large fleet though. A 30 tons flatbed and two 10 tons truck. I don't have a degree in this line. Much of my knowledge has been gained while on the job and interaction with colleagues and other people in the industry.

Why contact you when you did not even mention if you are in trucking business... Really!!! You can do better.

georgesegun87:
Kindly contact me on 08138211644

Chekitaut:
You can count on us.

Cool. Do you own trucks, drive or manage trucks? What type of truck etc. Please explain if you don't mine. I own trucks and also fix it. I have a degree in Medium/Heavy duty technology

Negro1:
I'm in the business. Lagos based

I am looking to meet people already in trucking business to share ideas about trucking etc. I am in trucking business but not in Nigeria and I will like to establish trucking business in Naija. Any trucker who is willing to share ideas, partner etc is highly welcome to contact. Thanks

Been in VA for 5 years. Hit me up, we can relate and Rob minds. Nice nite

Predstan:
7 months only

Time to move to country music capital. Good to know you. How long you being living in TN?

Predstan:
Lol... I live in Tennessee and out of the Capital. I pay 600 monthly for a one bed apartment. This is not a house or a condo but an apartment. If you think this is just too small to be true then I can show you a 3 bed house that cost 750 monthly in Franklin state of tennessee.

If an apartment cost 900 in chicago. Check same house in Washington county in the same state of Illinois.
