@saaratuuh CCI? 😂 Last year at Reboot Camp, a celebrity was hustling to get the a seat. We eventually got to sit down, but the view from our corner was terrible. I was honestly more concerned about him than I was about myself 😂
Vendors will try you. If you don’t have event planners who will stand up for you, you’re signing up for stress and losses that could have been avoided.
This is why I want AEO, great man, limo, Saelem and the likes to be everywhere. They need to go far! They have to succeed! They just have to! We can’t leave the next generation to lewd, perverted songs.
WHAT IS PURPOSE?
Purpose is that one thing for which you were created and at which you must succeed otherwise nothing else you succeed at will count.

I’m all for fair wages, and some companies will definitely match what you’re asking.
But when a company is offering a reasonable compensation based on cost of living, framing it as slavery comes across as entitlement.
Let’s be honest… a regular person in Canada spends about $1,500 monthly on rent. The average person in Nigeria is not paying anything close to 1.5 million naira monthly.
On this diaspora salary issue
No follow people dey charge what you think you should charge. Assess yourself and charge what you are worth
Not everyone inspiring you to charge 5k USD is charging 5k USD. Some of them just got that 5k USD once in their career. Some of them still take 500 USD jobs on a steads. So, assess and charge.
And yes, salary based on location is a thing. If you work with Google in Nairobi, you can NEVER be paid the same as the Google staff in Palo Alto. Because the cost of living in Palo Alto is wild. So its a thing. but it does not justify a rip-off
Also, the person in the UK or Canada does not need to pay you Canada or UK rate by default. your skill level can push it to that level though, but its not default.
And to the Nigerians in the UK(especially),
just because you don't have to pay UK rate doesn't mean you should pay sty rates like you're paying a pig. If you don't have money for a startup, continue your work or build it yourself.
Yes, taxes in Canada are high. But instead of complaining, use tax season to reduce what you owe and maximize your refund. FHSA, RRSPs, charitable donations, medical expenses etc.
Many Canadians know this. New immigrants need to catch up.
@burnitonkb @xoreniii@7BratzK lol.with your use of words, you know what you’re doing. If you hold yourself to those “higher standards,”they should have refrained you from typing your last sentence. For the record, I meant spiritual. Insinuating that we don’t tithe to follow the law,but from a heart of worship
@burnitonkb @xoreniii@7BratzK In the case of your place of worship, it is recognized as a charitable organization, so your donations can be claimed just like donations made to any other registered charity. This does not reduce what the church receives. It only affects how your personal taxes are calculated.
@burnitonkb @xoreniii@7BratzK I wish more people knew that including your tithes or donations on your tax return does not harm anyone, including the church.
The charitable donations tax credit is simply an incentive the government created to encourage people to give to registered charitable organizations.
