@Inno4Chi @grok Which is even worse. Uni fees were less than £500 a year in the 70s.

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

£11k per year in 1970?? Or did he mean Naira?

“I married my wife from a poor family, took her to the UK in 1970, spent £11,000 every year to train her in school up to PhD. When she saw she was established, she took me to court in the UK and lied that I rap£d my daughter of 11 years so that I could be deported.”

That’s how my baby looks more like her aunts on both sides than me. 😡😡😡 rubbish

[Ajíbìkẹ́ Ọ̀rọ́pọ̀ @AjibikeeOropo]

My SIL is crashing out at her baby’s betrayal of not resembling her. That she looks more like me.
Wo baby, make I use this one hold body, me sef born 3 wey no resemble me🤓😌

“Outlier issues tax forms”…okkkk? Will they also pay the tax due on the extra earnings? How does a potential 60:40 split help when I’m paying 42% tax and losing my child benefit, funded childcare hours and other benefits?

[Johnmark Obiefuna @jayhemz]

"Look at the absolute foolishness in the quotes."

All because of opening Outlier account.

The single biggest issue for someone based in the diaspora (U.S or U.K) is TAX. More specifically, reporting income tax. In other words, not disclosing monies in your name could be tantamount to fraud. But platforms like Outlier already issues tax forms which makes disclosures easy.

Any other issue is civil not illegal. No one is arresting you because Outlier said so, highest your account will be banned on Outlier if they detect any anomalies. Osim "clearance getting flagged."

Meanwhile, you're not giving anyone your personal details. You're opening the account by yourself and someone else operates by proxy, which in certain jurisdictions is a civil matter for the platform but only fraud if you don't disclose income.

But that wasn't even the focus of the initial post. The focus is that asking for something like this from someone in the diaspora is met with ghosting, other excuses or even accusations of fraud without knowing WHAT Outlier or other data labelling services do.

A simple, "tell me more about this" or "I'm not comfortable opening this account for you" is clear and straightforward.

Indians create outsourcing Agencies because of this and repatriate funds to their home countries through hundreds of similar agencies. Only the black man thinks up individual success as the pinnacle of his achievements and scream FRAUD or SECURITY CLEARANCE if he doesn't understand stuff.

Ask questions, nobody will kee you, onye mpiawa azu.

I stopped talking to a guy for a similar reason. Every time he came to mine I would cook and host him well. He always came empty handed. The last straw was when he told me after a particularly strenuous meal that he’s sorry for me because I’d have to wash all the dishes ☠️☠️☠️

[𝑨𝒚𝒐 x 𝑮𝒂𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏 𝑯𝒖𝒃 @arrakunrin]

Unrelated but this is a reason I’ve stopped talking to someone i was into

Every time she came over, we either had to buy food, or I cook. Not once did she go into the kitchen.

You’ll stay over for 2-3 days. I’ll leave the house to get the ingredients. I’ll prepare everything, make the food and she’ll eat. I’ll do the dishes too after.

It was either that or I had to buy food that we’d eat. Not once did she offer to cook or make us a meal except that one time I’d eaten and she made noodles for herself.

Happened 3 times and after the third time, I just let her go

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

I alone know about 8/9 women who did this, including family members. If they came out to speak about it, it’s still you people that would say why do we have to know that they brought their boyfriends or husbands over.

[Duke of Africa @Allezamani]

Why is it so difficult to see Nigerian ladies going abroad making it and then help relocate their boyfriends to unite with them as the men do?

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

The beef, saki and gizzard I cooked in advance for a future soup or stew, my husband used it to make indomie 🤦

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

@omoelele Honestly! Because she refused to breastfeed I got discouraged and stopped very early. By the time my friends convinced me to continue it was already 6 weeks and my supply had dwindled a lot. I had to buy a heavy breast pump and even then a full day of pumping was just one feed!

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

“Add extra powder to her formula to make it “heavier” so she can sleep through the night.”

At 2 weeks?

Fed my baby formula when they KNEW I was trying and struggling to get breastfeeding going. Baby quickly developed a bottle preference, almost ending my breastfeeding journey.

[Gracie @omoelele]

Share some unsolicited advice you got when you had your baby

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

Mine chews mine like it’s Pomo then right after gives me a beaming smile 😡

[AFTER HOW MANY CHILDREN @tomisin_ms]

Teething babies will be using your nipple to scratch their gums and be staring at your face to assess your pain tolerance

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

@tomisin_ms Nalas baby nighttime oil

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

@XiiX5 She'a doing well o, hope your littke one is too.

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

Just coughing?? My daughter lovingly smiled at me then stuck out her tongue and blew a huge raspberry full of spit on my face. Then she sneezed on me 😩.

[No filter Skin @NoFilterSkin]

becoming a mom is wild bc suddenly someone is coughing directly in your face and you’re just accepting it 🤣

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

@XiiX5 Looool I’m in my house oooo, this girl has me fighting for my life every day 😂😂😂😂. How are you sis?

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

I don’t t think people realise this 2800 is gross, so £33k annually. Realistically hardly anyone in London is living alone on that.

[Sani Yusuf @saniyusuf]

If you make 2800 and are renting fro 1400, you are a dunce

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

The main problem with these kind of people is they throw their wish for a test in their wife’s face, knowing exactly what they’re accusing her of. If you REALLY want to know and are not being mean, do it in secret and if it’s your kid just move on like nothing happened.

[𝙰𝚈𝙾𝙳𝙴𝙻𝙴 @ay0dele_]

No matter how you love your woman. My bro do that DNA test.

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

I want someone to look at me the way my daughter looks at the calpol box 😩

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

Naaa this Costco queue is WILD, who had the bright idea to shop here the weekend before Christmas 😭😭😭

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]

My husband got so annoyed by this guy until I told him his butt looks exactly the same (which is true). Now he's even more annoyed 🤣🤣🤣

[Simi @SimiAsIAm]
