RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #26 - "What Are Your Choices As A Nigerian?"

in Speak Peace3 years ago

Truth is, I don’t mind living in Nigeria so far I earn well as a Nigerian and what do i mean by earning well. I earn in $$$ like the way someone would earn outside the country.

That way one can just hire a police officer as escort and pay him monthly. Reason for this is because of those other tout police men on the road that comes by troubling the peace of citizens.

Truth is the bills in Nigeria is not as high as other countries abroad. Over there, you pay massively on taxes that takes up to 50% of how much you earn. But who really pays tax in Nigeria?

With so much wealth, one can choose to go abroad anytime he likes for vacation and come back to his mansion palace to cool himself.

Now, how does that sound like?

Sort:  

That's why many of our billionaires are living in banana Island.... But is Nigeria safe? Don't you know when you have money, you will value your life more!

Even a poor man values his life! Yeah with your money, you can be a target but yet how you use your money determines your safety.

By the way if I have money, I may not choose to live in banana island. I don't like Lagos mostly because of traffic wahala.

See, you can't hide forever once you have money, like very wealthy oo

One of our African adages says that smokes follow those who carry light🤩.

Becoming wealthy is not safe any longer due to kidnappers and co...you might be living in fear no matter the security men around you.

Smiles, nowhere is safe. Even outside the country, we have kidnappers, we have everything there. As much as they are in Nigeria, they are also abroad. Only God assures safety.

When I say how you use your money, if you use your money for the good of others than just showing off, you would have more people praying for you than the other way round

Well, just maybe because I have made up my mind to leave!
You have a good point here👌

Who else no leave? But only for vacation.

It's all good 👍
Everyone is entitled to his or her choice
We move!!

We be two here.
Maybe coz have made up my mind too to leave someday.

Hahaha
You too wan to japa🤩

But come to think of it...... Some worse crimes happens outside here. I still believe in Naija, come rain come shine.
This is my Jerusalem.

Exactly... Crimes happen outside the country as well.. we are left to make this place a better country.

I tell you bruv.

It's Naija for life.
My generation will make this place an envy to the world, so we ain't running anywhere.

Everything just dey one kain
Lol..
Even in abroad you get money you no still safe.

It's is well oo

You will buy chopper na

True though..that safe part sef is necessary to be considered.

Well it sounds good anyways, but why going with escort 🤣, our Nigeria mentality of crypto right. Don't you think your peace of mind will be more guaranteed over there in abroad? My thought though however, I love Nigeria as my country, we are a great nation but my choice remains to become a visitor here🤣🤣

Actually, it's not crypto-wise... naturally having an escort would even prevent unnecessary stop and search. They would respect the man in uniform.

And at the same time attract robbers😭

I tell people that security in Nigeria is bad but where exactly in the world is safe. Imagine kids loosing their life the other day to a teenager with guns abroad. So I don't know but I feel like with such amount of money I'll take the risk in Nigeria where there won't be taxes cutting off my income.

Exactly! You would live like a king in Nigeria. Imagine how cheap everything would be in your eye first.

It is impossible to live like a king IN NIGERIA. At some point, you will realise that you have to leave this place. You will need health care or security and find yourself running away. It is inevitable

Sounds like a wise man wey don tire for Nigeria 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But that police escort no go work oh.

Last last is just to live a Lowkey life

Wo you dey on point
But how person go get money con dey live like say e dey suffer all coz the bad security in the country.
I just tire

True though talking about tax it a nice point of view
And we dey enjoy here wey some people no pay tax for their life. and dem never collect their properties
You can't try that in abroad.

When you earn all that and lay police and then the police officer you higher now organises your kidnap nko? 🥲

Truth is the bills in Nigeria is not as high as other countries abroad. Over there, you pay massively on taxes that takes up to 50% of how much you earn. But who really pays tax in Nigeria?

I know they pay bills like tomorrow no dey, but hope you also know they pay hourly.
It is almost impossible to see hourly payment in Nigeria
Even weekly is kinda hard.

While you are at little advantage is that you earn in $$ and it is increasing daily.
But if e convert to Naira e go still finish 🥺
