Gadafii:
When the allied forces stormed Normandy, attacking several beach heads, hit-lers commanders were not in France then, they were attending a game show somewhere else, they scrambled their ass back to the war front to stop the attack. The Allied forces had managed to deceive the nazis that the attack would be somewhere else,so the commanders relaxed a bit..but alas they were caught by surprise and had to ditch the game show and run back to the front.

Hitler had earlier captured France and it was strategic and very important to his war efforts in Europe, the liberation of France started the decimation of Nazi war machine in Europe.

Similarly, when the nazis bombed london to rubbles during the blitzkrieg, Churchill never ran away abroad , instead he was sheltered in bunkers, but he was on ground overseeing how to stop the nazis air raid.

It's foolsih to make this type of comment at a time like this, Mr okupe, I know you are trying to earn some plate of rice, but don't be foolishh at doing that

What I am trying to say is no serious commander will be lounging away abroad when his field soldiers are getting decimated or taking serious casualty, tinubu is no good commander.

If this was in real life war situation, junior soldiers would have executed him or desert their posts.

see my brother God bless you. It's like saying the father who is the head of the family can go on leave while his house is burning because according to Doyin Okupe, his wife and children are there to take care of the fire. See another degree to asslicking. Can Doyin leave his house that is burning and saying he can take a leave because his wife and children are also there. Haba Doyin Okupe! Nonsense and Tinubu!

I work 45 hrs and my wife work 45hrs..

There are area in UK where rents are cheap and this are off city center. And we are in winter already although i don't have to explain to you. You could believe or not believe. House rent dont increase by winter or summer. If you have a pay as you go on gas then it will increase but if u negotiate with the gas people when setting ur account let them know u are a student working on part time.. Thats what i did and they reduced my fee and its static irrespective of what i use

Take a look at the pix.....

The second one is 3 bedroom... I could take 2 bedroom and look for a single student that will pay 200 per month...

Guy we are not in the winter. Abi what part of the UK are U? This is autumn those we have been having rain in Scotland

fastseo:


Am a family man and pay 500 pounds a month. Gas and light 100 in a month. Water 30p, Internet 25.

I dont pay council tax yet just graduated.

Winter says hello. No worry by November December con dey pay 100£ and 500£ for house when it is not a council house. Are U living in the village ni. U never dey pay tax now. When U begin dey make more than 20hours U go understand why people dey calculate for UK. I used to think like U when I first graduated. I didn't know my tax code will soon change. When it changed no one tell me why UK people dey stingy.

fastseo:


Yes you pay taxes..but just a little percentage of ur earnings like on that 12p.. U could pay 1.5p as tax.

Hope that is not too much

Guy tax is not calculated that way else everyone go dey buy lambogini. U have tax holiday on 12000£ after that U will be taxed 20% of anymore money U make. If U have a second job U will be taxed from 40% or even 50%. If U earn more than 40000£ U pay 40% tax. I made 942£ this week tax was 180£ and NI was 70£. Take home was less than 700£. The more U earn the less U collect

Factcheck0001:
borrow money to travel out?

U are talking about millions here now, someone who no Sabi how e go pay 120k house rent, how do u expect him to get millions to travel?

I said I would have advised he travel out because no business can survive Tpain economic policies but the money is fucking much now. I wish he can see a miracle take him out of Nigeria to UK or USA.

Factcheck0001:
na Ibadan him dey


U can mention me on a dead thread, I don't want to release his details here cos I didn't inform him before posting this n u know I don't want it to b like I carry him matter for head

So anything anyone drops here I can tell him like I have d idea directly so he won't feel bad

Being there done that! It was worse for teacher's to survive during buhari era and terrible during Tpain time. During my time I do take after-school lessons but those one self no fit solve 90% of my money issue. Let him get after school lesson or would have advised he borrowed money and travel out. Anyone in Nigeria who is not a politician is variably struggling and no business will survive too.

Tokskob2008:
More than 80% of Nigerian teachers are underpaid, teaching in Nigeria is more or less slavery.

My former proprietor goes to the club and bars almost every day to flex but when it's time to pay his staffs salary he will start speaking in parables about how people should be able to sacrifice and endure whatever one is going through. Complete mad man!!

Walahi teachers are suffering well well for Nigeria. My greatest regret was teaching during my productive years. Na so one idiot principal asked me to take physics, chemistry, biology , mathematics and further maths for year 2008 that they will pay me 11k . The idiot said he pays his principal 12k. Na so I curse am. 12k that is not up to my hour pay. God punish poverty

Denalarian:
Beating him wasn't supposed to be a wise solution or treath.. my own solution is to lock him up in a private room for 2 months with constant food and water to detox, then rehab should follow.. cos what ice can not do doesn't exist, it's like a god that's worshipped violently and blesses its worshippers with abnormalities!..

Locking him up with food and water without
Medication will make him mad quickly. It's not about locking him up and not allowing him access to the drugs but also making sure his body is detoxifying from the drugs by giving him required medication. I work in mental health hospitals and I know that patients who refuses medication are usually worse off than when they take the hard drug self because without proper medication they won't even eat the food or drink the water hence they tends to be worse off. Get Ur brother to a mental health facility asap @ops

No day without fight. When we eventually moved to our own house, the house boring die. I go still enter every Friday go play with my hommies. When I enter Naija I must touch Agege

Leverkusen star, Victor Boniface resorts to manual labour due to ‘delayed pay’

Super Eagles and Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface, has left Nigerians reeling with laughter on social media after he started doing manual labour.

He jokingly stated that the Bundesliga club was yet to pay him his salary this month, so he had to go to the site and hustle for his ‘urgent 2k’.

Boniface shared a photo of himself clearing the leaves at a location abroad while dressed as a labourer.

The 23-year-old footballer captioned the post; “As levekusen never drop raba. Me don enter site go hustle for my urgent 2k.”

My friend, Victor Boniface will want to whine you but no panic. You way u fit buy the whole ShopRite without going bankrupt con dey lie to us say u dey find urgent 2k

Top on the best romantic hip hop na Whitney Houston. Give her her flowers. Mariah and co. But my best 2000 was Awilo logomba. That guy finished Naija. If u no hear awiilo song for party in 1999/ 2000. That means say party no complete. There was never a year when all musicians no try to outwit themselves like 1999. From Carlos Santana (wild wild west, Balamo) to Wyclef (YMCA) to who let's the dog out to Backstreet boys

Nigeria is a bullshit country. Dead!! Only very few people are enjoying the milk. My brother if u hv the means na europe sure pass.

My guy traveled to UK in January, he bought iphone 15 a month after he started working,this guy sent home 500k last week to share among his family. This is the same guy that was earning 36k in a private sch bfore God used a family member to assist him. Nigeria is a dream killer. Me too must japaaa

Na me u just talk about. I taught in schools for 14years until God opened my way to travel to UK. Now I earn 600£ after tax while working 5days. E no go better for our leaders. If I had been working here for 14 years I go don buy mansion for banana island

I made this my hair by myself, just this night. Rate me please.

My wife dey do am self. She go make neater and better ones on her head using mirror. The fear of making hair for UK is the beginning of prudence. Who go dey use 70-100£ to make hair?

My wife dey save 1500£ every month apart from £500 way she dey give me to support expenses. Forget UK by far. When I dey naija na every week nepa dey cut light way dey no dey even give us. Water issue too dey there. U can't earn 500k make U no spend 200k on food, transportation, rent and miscellaneous fees. U can't even save 250k from the 500k but I can conveniently save 500£ even with all the bills and still ball

But that comparison no make sense at all. Except U dey live for London house rent, bills and naija food U can't spend £1200 and the remaining na savings with better enjoyment. If U try save 500£ na almost 1million naira be that which is even more than the salary for naija with all the food stuff inflation.
House rent =600-650£
Bill= 250£
Food=100-150£
Council tax= 150£.
Salary= £2000
Tax=350£
Net Money= 1650£
Expenditure= 1200£
Savings= 1650-1200= 450£
Savings in naira = 450*1850~#900k.

Frost124:
Good day nairalanders, thank God this site is a faceless forum... Few weeks ago my dad told me he is HIV positive, when he told me I was disappointed but I made sure I didn't show it and I encouraged him... Him and my mother has been sick for a while and I certainly know he has transferred it to my mum.... My dad was very promiscuous when he was younger even after he married my mom he was still promiscuous. I am the only child and I have been footing the bills for their medical cares I am just 26 years old and I have spent so much and there is more spending still to come.... My father only told me, my mother is not aware of her health status all she thinks it's just a normal sickness happening to her. I have no one to talk to, I don't trust any friends because I believe when I tell them, they will certainly spread the news and you know the stigmatization against HIV patients, it's not good... I am frustrated, depressed and financially drained, sometimes I stay in my room and cry.... To avoid thinking, sometimes I just drink some alcohol... This issue has been in my heart for several weeks I just had to put it on Nairaland to ease my pain. My father just called me today that my mom has been admitted to the hospital, she was too weak to even walk.... Another spending and I am running out of cash, don't know what to do anymore. It wouldn't be this severe if they found out earlier, it's almost late. May God help me and my parents.

I will advise you as someone who has seen similar case but not my parents but a close relative. Forget all this bring him to chosen and those nonsense. First let Ur mum know and educate both parents on what hiv is about and how they can leave their normal life if they take their medication. U don't need every one to know just the two parents. Take them to general hospital because medication is free. They will live their full years but they need to take their medication. They won't be falling sick as long as they use their medication. U see the taking of hiv victim to all this churches and miracle centre was what caused the death of a relative. Take my advice and U will have peace of mind. Mind you medication is free in general hospital

Thunder fire her with that her friend way be like hippie. U will see evil and be supporting it all because he is from same tribe like you. No worry small small it will get to you. Me I have already boycot any movie produced or directed by her. Even if I see her for any movie that is the end of it for me. Wicked people supporting evil

If my dog wakes up and says I want to be a Nigerian police. I will kill it that day. Stupid and Tinubu. The country is suffering and burning idiot is saying people are singing old national anthem. And this is police officer. Police people no first get brain

I still love All-4-1 to this boys 2men. I was so crazy for All 4-1 that I had to buy their double CD and I use am back babes tire. Make I just play that their song if your hearts not in there or I can love U like this. If U no fall na I swear sound track. That girl must fall sha. I had one woofer like that. Any babe way come my house that time go love up sha NI. Good thing about there songs is that all the songs in their album na banger and no need for repeat. I use that album disvirgin girls tire

This nairaland na rubbish site. I was the first to break the news when it was confirmed even citing notable website to support it but na person way write today they push to frontpage. Nonsense and corruption 😤

Hope he succeeds. All players who played under Guardiola are becoming coaches now

Bayern Munich, winners of 33 Bundesliga titles, six European Cups, 20 German Cups, and by far the biggest club in their country, have hired the manager of Burnley, a team who have just been convincingly relegated from the Premier League.

Vincent Kompany's deal to become the new Bayern coach is all-but complete, with numerous reports over the last 24 hours claiming that the Belgian will take the helm at the Allianz Arena ahead of the 2024-25 season, and his appointment is as surprising as they come. This is a manager who has just four years of coaching experience, one of which came in the English second division. He has never coached a Champions League game, and his sole European campaign ended with a Conference League qualifying loss.

Kompany shouldn't be faulted for taking the job, even if it feels like a massive jump. He is a promising manager, who, at 38, still has the chance to become a great one. Give him a few seasons at mid-level clubs, let him build on and further mould his ideas, and he might someday be ready for a job as big as the Bayern one. But this all feels like it's happening way too soon.

More broadly, though, it speaks to the mess that Bayern are in. The Bavarians have burned through managerial targets since making the decision to let Thomas Tuchel go at the end of the season in February. After months of scouring Europe for potential targets, hunting down big names, and failing over and over again, they are left with a manager who seems underqualified and unprepared for a job of this magnitude.

In as much that the man was a devil in human form let's forget all this rubbish about karma. Life is not nollywood where one Wicked man confessed before dying after suffering. People like Babangida, Buhari and Tinubu still dey alive. Who wicked pass them and dey still dey live their lives. So karma no fit locate them or na poor people karma dey look for. That man was wrong in all shades and the fact say he dey come UK, e go hear am not because of what he did but because he don put pressure on himself and can never go back if things turn south.

I repeat nothing like water tax in the whole of the UK.

see attached.
That was calculated upto December. Do they know if I will still be in that place. It is collected same as council tax

erico2k2:

I repeat nothing like water tax in the whole of the UK.

See the pic attached below

erico2k2:

there is nothing like water tax in the Uk, just water bills and you have a metre for that. If you do not use water, you do not pay because you have a meter and its outside on a walkway a small manhole! This is why its a bill and not TAX
Now council tax in the Uk is a whole different ball game,In Northern Ireland which is part of the Uk they DO NOT PAY COUNCIL TAX
Also, if you do not rent a whole apartment, you do not pay council tax, People in full time Education DO NOT pay council tax,peopla under 18 do not pay council tax, Members of the armed forces who are i n the armed forces do not pay tax. You guys assume too much

That is totally wrong. I pay water tax which has been calculated from April to December. It's doesn't have to do with whether I use water or not. It has been sent to me just like council tax so I know what am saying my dear

erico2k2:

No vex bros what country do you pay Water tax?
C[b]ouncil tax is mainly for emptying your BINS and keeping the council clean, do you pay waste collection money or not? answer ???[/b]

Same UK. U pay water bill. Either U use water or not just like council tax either U have a bin or not.

erico2k2:

OK let us compare make we see who lie wan kee
taxes paid in Nigeria
You get taxed for
Road licence for your car (if you drive)
Payee
bank Deposit tax
this new bank tax
Police
Road safety
MOT
proof of ownership(if U have a car)

In the Uk
You just pay income tax and NI, and road tax if your car has to pay.

That's not right. U pay council tax and water tax too but U really see the effects of Ur tax but in Nigeria that money will be embezzled as usual. We in diaspora dey see sege because everywhere we are been laughed at say we elected a drug lord as president. We no get one kobo image as nigerian
