Everybody keep talking about doing tech jobs as if all tech jobs pays $100k and let's agreed you land 3 tech jobs that pays $300k annually. How much do you think you will pay in taxes? More than $50k and when you file taxes and uncle Sam sees you doing multiple jobs, you will be surprise how much they ask you to pay back.

youngRx:
Someone said drugs. Drugs ke??

All you need is at least 2 tech jobs paying 6 figures which some Nigerians are doing. Some are even working 3 jobs. You just need to be extremely good at what you do.

Did you just say save $350k? Atiku has a better chance of winning just concluded election before you save $350k for yankee on regular jobs.

Moh247:
Living off loans is very risky.. say you are an IT guy with $3,307 to $7000 monthly after fed and state tax, your Credit score is 700.

If you pay $2000 rent, car insurance, phone and other bills .. how then will you comfortably save to have a 350k hotel in Nigeria, with hostels here and there


.

You forget to include in your analysis that for a governor to be from a State does not translate to presidential candidate of such party winning the state. Northerners will always vote their son. After Buhari, the next most popular politician in the North is Atiku and I expect him to get block votes from the northern part of the country but that does not translate to winning the presidency because Buhari got block votes and still lose several times. Atiku will lose if he fails in most other parts of the country.
Obi is the best, most competent among the contestants but I learned early in life that been the best does not necessarily means you will always win.

adioolayi:
It's less than 24hrs before the Presidential election...

The 22 State APC Governors are solidly behind Tinubu...no shaking...

OYO and Rivers Governors are not working for their political party candidate..so, they are not mobilising for him..Making these states very open...with OYO likely to go for Tinubu..

PDP failed to form alliance with NNPP ..and they are going into this battle divided....PDP, NNPP, LP..

For these reasons...

I see Tinubu of APC winning this.

I call this election for Jagaban.

He made his analysis and you can make yours without resulting into insult and name calling. While Obi is decent among the contestants, other people have rights to support their candidates and you just campaign for Obi and let others campaign for their candidates. Your name calling makes Obi looks bad for real.

Ajehkpako4naija:
Oga shut up and go and die with your worthless analysis. It's just less than 24 hrs for u to wail. OBIIIIIII is coming

That is how it suppose to be. They have the right to defend themselves and they are innocent until proven guilty but must employers will have suspend you until the investigation is over. The whole scam will change their lives for the worse cos they get charge with a felony, you lose your license, can't work no more and if your employer is petty, they can sue you to court asking you to refund all your wages because you was never qualified to receive those wages.
Short cuts never pays in the long run for real

NoToPile:
I also wonder, how did they pass the board exams when they forged the basic requirement for the exam.

Please note that Formal Charges are not a final disciplinary action, and a nurse is permitted to work, as a nurse, while Formal Charges are pending.”

The bolded is quite funny, they will still be working as a nurse for now pending final disciplinary action.

I am not a fan of Obi but what Deji said was not an alternative opinion. It's an allegation of bribery without prove and even an ardent supporter of Atiku or Tinubu will not campaign with such a lie against Obi. Why will someone tells you reasons they are stealing money from government if they want your support. Only slowpoke will believe that crap.

BreconHills:
You guys sometimes sound like the brown shirts - Hitlers youth movement. Must you bark and throw stones at all shadows? Can people not have an alternative opinion? Arent you tired of hearing your own echo? Do you honestly believe that by repeating something again and again, it becomes true for others? O ga o

I own a truck repair business and trucking company in Virginia. Most Nigeria tries to play it simple and safe. 9 out of 10 new businesses do not see second year and I am an example. My first company failed and I had to start all over with $90k in debt. When Nigeria start small scale businesses like car sales, trucking etc will never qualify hire foreign born worker.
Entrepreneur is easy on paper. No banks that I know of borrow new business money except if you want to use your house a collateral and you will be sorry if the business fail and most business do fail.
Average Chinese or Indians are richer than average Nigerian and they pool resources together to buy restaurant, gas station and take turns to run it and grow it from ground. Nigerian back home want their family that travel less than a week to start sending money home. He does not stand a chance to start a business. He just need to get a job and be ATM for people back home.

Who would you want to be president? There are no saints anywhere and every aspirant will come with baggage, it's just some are beyond redemption.

Tumblr:
All these articles, props and abuse won’t work on people. The people who would vote for APC would vote for APC, that’s why we practice democracy.

Personally, I wouldn’t want any of Atiku, Tinubu and Obi near the seat of power. They are thieves.

Phone manufacturers has authorized dealers in Nigeria. Same should apply. It's a different ball game if Kazeem phone repairs refurbish a phone..

Revolution2022:
Nigerian refurbished

You made a valued points but you can do without the insult.

Ikem11:
You talk like a fool . Don't mistake refurbished phones with generic clone phones.

Refurbished are phones used by users but returned for one reason or the other ...maybe mic isn't working properly or earpiece isn't work or antenna isn't working.

Phone brands ship those kind of phones to for fixing and repacked again as a refurbished.

Used phones that the body is gone but the motherboards is good can also be refurbished by changing new packs.

Next time before u talk rubbish try making sense at all

What you're saying it's a clone phone. A refurbished phone is a used phone that either the manufacturer or authorized dealer check and update to standard. I use pixel phones and everything I drop my phone and need a replacement, I send it to Google and they will send me refurbished phone as replacement. Refurbished phone is good and also comes with warranty if you buy from authorized dealers.

englishmart:
Refurbished phones are substandard versions of phones. They shouldn't be called refurbished, they should be called fake.
A refurbished phone of 64gb will take files of 2gb and be crying of low memory space. A refurbished 50mp camera has a clarity of 8mp.

Refurbished is for the less privileged.

Life-coach.. tf that really means. They way people throw title around just to be different is just out of this world. Happy marital bliss to the newly wed.

Correct but he stand a better chance to play for US than UK.

rickpat:
yes born in America,moved to England when he was two years old...played for England u17...then played for USA u18 and presently now he is playing for England u21...he Carries British passport at the moment

Nope. He is an American. He was born in New York.

"They weaponize poverty and unleash the benefits only during election"
Your above quote sum the nature of Nigerian politics and when you look around seeing people in abject poverty campaigning for same people who squandered their collective wealth, you beg to ask I'd these set of people have a functional brains.

superlanny:
When both parties are full of comedians what do you expect. They weaponize poverty and unleash the benefits only during election. Once upon a time I thought Nigerians as wise and intelligent people, this has been an error in judgement, at least more than 50% are not fit to claim that they have brains.

Because I can't understand those still supporting APC and PDP despite the suffering and pain they have wrecked on this land.

I pray we get it right, I really do.

Education and poverty reduction is the only two things that will reduce voting buying. I grow up in Bariga and I can tell you vote buying does not necessarily carry out in cash transactions. You can buy vote with 5kg of rice etc. Thinking changing color of currency will stop vote buying is like saying Buhari has fix Nigeria problem when he made it worse.

StrongAlphMale:
Bros, It is not nonsense. for as long as it will reduce vote buying from Tinubu and athiefkuu, then it is a welcome development.

After the election, Emefiele can extend the deadline to 100 years if he likes. But for now, we're very okay with it until APC is out come Feb 25

A terrible situation for all concern. The population of hippos is explosive cos they have no enemy in the wide and if government allows locals to kill they, they will kill all the hippos in the area. The government need to do population control by sampling the hippos, kill some to reduce their population. The Hippos that Escobar imported to Columbia is causing havoc to local population and the government had to step in.

There need to be punishment for waste of time of the judiciary. Dallas is not even a State and can't it confer a valid citizenship to Obi. Citizenship is exclusively in the hands of federal government. Honorary citizenship is just a glorified papers that does not come with international passport and I am certain these people knows but want to score cheap in political points. Lawyers should be fine, warn and possibly lose their licence for me couple of months when they continue to file frivolous petitions just Iike Trump lawyer, Rudy is about to lose his license in DC.

Lol .. I am not in Nigeria and neither I am suffering. Nobody pays me to speak bad about her but what I said was a reality of the situation. Have a good day.

She is playing the blame game which does not working US cos you leave tons of paper trail for FBI to send you away with. The point is her co-conspirator already take a plead deal and serving his time. She will end up getting convicted and triple her sentencing when she can just plead guilty, do her time, pay restitution and move on with her life.

"imaginary enemies in Nigeria" welcome home bitch you made yourself the GO of no time

You can't make anyone millionaire except they want to be. Infact, you can't make anyone anything except they choose to be, but you can be of help if they want to be millionaire. I had given sister thousand $$ to start business, when she is little broke, she sold the business and moved on.
I have come to realize people only do what they wanna do. Establishing business for someone will be a waste of time and money if all they ever wanted is money to flex and come beg the next day.

Hendrixky:
Not easy


But the quickest way to become a Billionaire is to ensure you make your relatives especially your siblings a millionaire first

Only people with deep sense and critical thinkers will understand my statement above

You don't win election by working in all local government areas. You win by concentrating your resources in areas of your strength while picking up few votes on areas you're less popular. Obi can't win core Northern States even if he move to those States but he will gather few votes over there while picking up majority of votes from south, West and Middle belt regions.

Thegoodone13:
Actually, obi are not working in local Government Area. We have 774 local Government in Nigeria, there is nothing bad if Obi has group in each local Government that we be campaign for him seriously. He should not depends on promises from Educated or well to do people only. Obi only popular on internet no campaign in the west and North. He need to wake up. He needs to recruit about 100 people in each local Government. People are ready to volunteer. Even in the each word . If APC or PDP are talking about structure, that it what they mean.

You hate gay but you will give you life to get an American visa, wipe gay people's ass as a full time job and your boss will be gay. African and hypocrisy are like 5 & 6. They will set gays on fire but run after politicians to steal their collective wealth.... May God had mercy on your soul .

Lanshile:
Coming out to say u are a gay will only expose u to trouble in Africa
I hate gays a lot

She is fat cos for the whole four months, she will be indoor doing nothing and her complexion will be a bit fair cos is indoor. There are too many stress for Naija. You get stress to make it to work, your work stress and you go thru hell going back home daily. Those stress it enough to make you way old than your age.

APC spokesperson is acting from Trump playbook and it cost him the election. People, including OBJ has the right to endorse whoever they want and you don't have to comment on such or you will irritate people and draw unnecessary attention and possibly erode votes away from your candidate.

lhordspy:
This is the first time i am agreeing with Reno. I think he is starting to come back to his old self.

The Counter-statement from APC was needless. Mr Bayo Onanuga the APC spokeperson should always learn to keep his emotion in-check. It is not everything you dish out responds to. Little little things like these piss people off, especially like me. If PDP decide not to respond to the endorsement just like APC. Then the joke is on APC.

Olusegun Obasanjo has the right to endorse anyone or anybody. Terming his endorsement useless is an overdo. It makes no sense. The yorubas and well meaning Nigerians aint complaining. We wish him well.

OBJ has the right to endorse candidate of his choice just like every Nigerian and you are right when you said APC should have just ignore him and focus on selling there candidate to the people but it surprise me when you said OBJ is envious of Tinubu... Are you for real? OBJ was 39 when he became military head of State and also president for 8 years. OBJ is knows world over while Tinubu is local champion. I am not belittling Tinubu achievements but he can't seat on same table as OBJ in world stage at the moment..

mach7:
In my opinion, APC shouldn't have bothered replying OBJ. It only makes his "endorsement" seem somewhat relevant.

To the discerning, his support for Obi has been clear from day one. Amongst the frontline candidates, Obi is the only one that can be controlled or dictated to by OBJ. OBJ's aim is to ensure that his influence which was eroded by Buhari can be restored via Obi. All the talk about supporting someone from Eastern extraction is just a charade.

Asides this, I also perceive that OBJ has a personal animosity for Tinubu. Something akin to envy since the days of when Tinubu was a Governor.

To those saying that Tinubu went to beg OBJ for endorsement, you are spewing rubbish. Tinubu was advised to go see OBJ (being the most prominent Yoruba leader who is an ex-president) and sell his ambition to him, and Tinubu followed that advice.

Following the outcome of the meeting, it became clear that OBJ won't support Tinubu, but he also committed that he wouldn't support Atiku either and for the Tinubu camp, that was OK.

Election is next month, let's see how OBJ's and by extension the so called "Cabal of ex-Gemerals" endorsement helps Obi.

However, I do find it funny when Obi says he want to build a new Nigeria and use the hungry youths as a structure....blah...blah...blah and yet still relies on the same corrupt structure of persons like OBJ to attempt to get into office.

Really funny.

APC media crew are doing a bad job. Let people endorse whoever they want and you concentrate on selling your candidate. I never knew OBJ endorsed Obi until APC says it's worthless. Sometimes, you make situation worse by trying to defend it when you called have ignore it and just let it fade away. APC media crew are doing an horrible job

Elon fired janitorial staffs in Twitter headquarter that staff had to come to work with their own tissue paper.. His actions going to take years to fix. Elon fired some staffs, rehired same staffs in less than a week, only to fired them less than two weeks... That is insane.

oracle009:
Leave the shallow minded guy, bro. Lots of them here on nairaland. If they cannot understand that actions and inactions of wealthy class affects the global economy, and we all are stakeholders. It's an open situation. Then I wonder what else they can understand.

Elon kept on goofing by involving himself in partisan politics. This is affecting not just him, but thd global economy. The sheer number of Twitter workers sacked offset foreign remittances to asia.

I am not going to pick up a fight with you cos I know you don't read what I wrote. Second, I was not advising him or telling him how to wrong his business and finally, his acting affect me cos I own shares in Tesla. Happy New year

nedekid:
Na wah,
Please "advice" Elon musk well, he does not have sense despite being worth over 200b usd.
We Nigerians have the sense and are good advisers, the only thing remaining for us is to have the billion dollars.
We will soon get there.. Amen?

Your write-up was spot on. Elon talked too much. Leave politics to politicians and focus on your business. Twitter never make profit and you spend $44 billion on that piece of garbage... Seriously!!! He has to fire janitorial staffs that Twitter employees had to come to work with their own toilet paper.... Not good. While Tesla is the leading EV brand in the world but other car manufacturers are catching up. Ford lightning is an example of progress of other car manufacturers EV. Ford lightning powered a whole for 2 days in Buffalo storm.
Elon needs to go back to basic and leave politics for politicians or Tesla might end up been Carvana of car manufacturer.

CoronaVirusRelo:
I don’t believe Tesla shares were overpriced! I am a shareholder and I can recollect how people bought into Tesla. It was the future of EV. And with his brilliance, we were certain stocks was going to the moon because he was this a dude who had unpredictable innovations.

Dude ruined his career with ego and his mouth. Became a comedian and lost direction. Twitter acquisition was the biggest fvck up! That garbage was far overpriced and he bought into it! Leveraged with Tesla forgetting that shareholders confidence was at stake.

Added more enemies to his trade by venturing into partisan politics and we all can see how his brand is being ridiculed, which is political!

Elon needs to get back to the drawing board and return to previous course, if it’s not too late. The competition in EV has come of age and I doubt he can regain that lead he had before.

He talked too much!

Almost all stocks was overpriced. Carvana goes from one of the most performing stock to company facing bankruptcy. Elon Twitter debacle is also part of the problem of Tesla and most car manufacturers are into EV markets now and that is cutting deep into Tesla market. Elon needs to get it together hard time coming his way.

grandstar:
Tesla stocks were way over priced if you ask me
It was treated more like a tech stock and not like a car stock. Does future profits justify those share prices?

Also, the sky high stock prices early this year were unsustainable as governments all over the word started tightening the noose around their loose fiscal and monetary policies.

Thos is food for thought

I am not his fan but he wom Adamawa governorship election in 1999.
