Currently at Abu Dhabi Airport and getting ready to board to Lagos.

So I wasn't able to visit Dubai because I had a lot of places to go to here in Abu Dhabi.

Hopefully on my way back to the United States, I should be able to make a stopover in Dubai.

There’s usually a time delay due to non-availability of free Wi-Fi while Airborne.

I remember by days of traveling with naija passport. There was a time I was singled out by a border official in Paris CDG airport. I was almost stripped search. They said I look suspicious. Naija passport holders have little respect in foreign countries.

Can't wait till I ditch mine

The passport has caused me a lot of troubles

Thanks to everyone that has followed my trip up to this point.

I'm currently lodged at the Southern Sun Hotel, a nice hotel close to Ikoyi Lagos.

It's a very upscale hotel with tight security, one of the few hotels you might want to stay at whenever you visit Lagos.

It's very nice here albeit expensive.

I used my Airline Miles to book it.

It will probably cost between #50,000 - #70,000 per night.

I have to take my time & type a response.

But generally I file a schedule C together with my Personal Income Taxes.

I formed my company as an LLC because of the enormous tax benefits so you would need to convert your company from a sole proprietorship to an LLC.

Then all my business Expenses goes on either my Business Credit Card OR my Business Debit Card.

You also need to separate Business & Personal Expenses.

I have been audited by the IRS before & it’s not fun.

IRS can go as far back as 3 years plus you would also need to provide all receipts to justify deductions taken.

I usually use quickbooks software.

Then you can use either Square, PayPal or QuickBooks to charge your clients for payments.


Some nice info there for those who are in a position to take advantage of it.

Welcome to Nigeria sir, I hope you will enjoy your stay.

I see you would be going to the east (your village maybe?), please beware of VILLAGE PEOPLE cos they are currently waiting for "Ndi Abroad" to land this December so that they can perpetrate their evil acts.

Stay safe and enjoy Naija. kiss
