Mindlog: The problem is that these people tend to be so irresponsible and cannot fit in in a structured system. It is even good sef, as those who eventually relocate are people who understand what it means to reside in a place where things work. 4 Likes |

Gerrard59: When he said he owns a house in COOK COUNTRY everything was confirmed. In all his posts outside this thread, he is speaking about his life as a resident of Nigeria. Not once in his previous history did he mention living anywhere outside of Nigeria but all of a sudden, he has had time to buy property in London and Chicago and now he drives Uber to pay property taxes. Maybe he’ll Google escrow next. 1 Like |

1stGenAmerican: It is the Internet. Everybody is rich online. ![]() I am of the opinion that people should do whatever they like since they will be the ones to bear the fruits or consequences. But they should not lie when presenting their points. His points, even if he resides abroad, do not make sense. The only ill I can say about living abroad is being in a place where the majority don't look like you (countries with few blacks) or think like you (US, Canada etc). But after seeing how the Nigerian elections went, I rather live with racists in a prosperous land than stay with tribalists in the world's poverty capital.

Gerrard59: Economics over emotions/psychology always. As a person who has always lived one of those places (where everyone doesn’t look like me), it’s second nature and those not born here soon learn to adapt. No one here complains endlessly about bills and taxes, they live and enjoy life and when family won’t stop calling them for money, they use bills and taxes as an excuse. What’s funny is when someone is vacationing at a resort, theme park, or a beach and the phone rings non-stop from family in Nigeria demanding money and when the call isn’t answered, the family thinks the person is struggling working their third job to stay afloat. The phone stops ringing and the person on the beach turns over, reclines, and continues to enjoy. You don’t even have to ask me how I know. 2 Likes |

sonnie10: I guess they don’t realize that by law, overtime pay is time and a half and in some cases, holiday pay is double time and a half. This is why Postal employees run to deliver packages on Federal holidays—they’re usually making over $100/hour and their Union contract guarantees them 8 hours of that pay on holidays, even if they only work 3 hours. Overtime pay is a LAW, even people at Walmart and McDonald’s are entitled. I can’t understand how people who claim to have lived in America don’t know anything about labor laws and mandated overtime pay. Random example If an employee earns $15/hour and works 50 hours in a 40 hour work week, then 10 hours will be at Over time Pay. 40 hours @ $15/hour=$600 and 10 hours @ $22.50/hour= $225 $825 for that work week https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/overtime 2 Likes

1stGenAmerican:I do not need to lie: why do I gain from lying? Absolutely nothing, Please read to comprehend so you can understand what I am writing. I only state the disadvantage of living abroad and also wrote anyone who want to japa can japa. I am not against one coming abroad to better their lives and have better opportunities, for themselves, I only states the disadvantages. There are advantages of living abroad also. Yes I do drive uber to pay property tax after working 40 hours at my job and I can even show you my uber stub-you do not have to believe me at all which is very okay. yes I lived in Nigeria in the past, I was once a resident of Nigeria and I do not need to mention in my previous topics or posts, and even if I write like I am living in Nigeria now, it is not a crime to do so. and even though in my previous post, I did not mention of living outside of Nigeria- okay and so what. |

kkins25: What are you talking about, Sir? YOUR math is the one that isn’t mathing because $825/50 is not $16. Your lack of reading comprehension is the problem. The explanation is right in the equation. And did you just ignore the link to the DOL website with an explanation by the government explaining OTP? Yes, you did. 1 Like |

Abi1985: You have to own the house/condo/property before you pay property tax. And you deduct it from your federal income tax and you can pay it as part of your mortgage escrow monthly. Property tax is the least of the disadvantages of living in the US. You cut your cloth according to your cloth. Actually, paying property tax is a sign that you have progressed 2 Likes |
