STORY OF THE DAY

- Today on Tell Your Story With Quinesta

Good morning Quinesta. I am a mother of five, and my life has been a constant battle since my first daughter was born with autism. The nights are long and heavy. I stay awake to care for her, while also worrying about food for my other four children. I’ve hawked under the Calabar rain and sun, washed clothes for people till my hands cracked, and gone to bed hungry so my children could eat. There were times I couldn’t even afford antenatal care, and I wondered if my children saw me as their mother or just their only provider. My face looks older than my age. I am over 35 years, and every wrinkle tells of the nights I cried silently so my children wouldn’t hear me.

My husband didn’t make it any easier. He left me twice, first when I was pregnant with our third child, and again after our fourth. Both times he disappeared with nothing but promises, and I was left to carry the weight alone. No money, no calls, no support. He never even paid my dowry, just kept saying “I will do it, soon.” When he came back the third time, I was weak and tired, but I let him in for the sake of the children. This time he stayed. For a while, we became one family, even though we didn't have everything. He helped around, the children called him father again, and I allowed myself to believe that peace had finally come to our home.

But out of nowhere, he has turned around and told me to release our second daughter my teenage girl to go and work as a house help for another family. After all the years I suffered alone, after all the sacrifices I made to keep her in school and safe, he now wants to send her away to serve someone else’s home. It feels like a betrayal that cuts deeper than when he abandoned us before. I raised her through hunger and hardship so she wouldn’t have to live the same struggle I did. And now the man who never paid my dowry, who walked away twice, is deciding her future for me. I don’t know whether to fight him or to cry for the daughter I may lose.

Quinesta, please what do you advise?

The Cross River State Internal Revenue Service has sealed off the offices of the Cross River Basin Development Authority and the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Calabar, over unpaid N154m unpaid tax liabilities.

Officials of the revenue service who carried out the enforcement exercise described the action as part of efforts to compel compliance with tax obligations by defaulting institutions.

Speaking to journalist during the exercise on Friday the Director of Compliance Department of the Cross River Internal Revenue Service, Ayi Okon Bassey, said the Basin Authority was indebted to the state government to the tune of over N53m following a tax audit conducted for the period between 2019 and 2021.

“Just imagine…” - An alleged Moniepoint salary offer document is circulating online. Its authenticity has not been confirmed.

“I'm making this video especially for the CEO of MoniePoint. Sir, I saw the video where you said that you're finding it very hard to recruit Nigerians because they don't meet global standards and you're trying to compete globally.

That's very fine sir. I can imagine where you're coming from. I just have a few questions sir.

I'm currently in the UK and I would like to assume that the UK is one of your yardsticks to say you want to compete globally. My own question is that at the moment in the UK, they currently pay about £13 an hour. That’s roughly N20,000 per hour.
I don't know sir. I just want to ask if you're paying on that scale which means if you are, you should be paying about N160,000 per day for a 9-5 job which roughly amounts to about N3.2 million per month.

So if you're paying within at least N2 million to N2.5 million, let's say you cannot do the exact N3 million or N3.2 million.

If you're doing like N2.5 million or N2 million, let me know because I mean if I can get that kind of job, I don't mind relocating or I can even tell some of my friends that there's a job where he's paying N2 million or N2.5 million or N3 million per month in Nigeria.

So sir, just let us know please. You're paying N300,000 but you want oh sorry... I should keep quiet….” -

A UK-based Nigerian man has publicly called out the Chief Executive Officer of Moniepoint, Tosin Eniolorunda, following recent comments about the difficulty of finding Nigerian professionals who meet global standards.
