Hoi Li’s Bronze Strategy: Nigeria vs Egypt and Why "Third-Place" Still Pays the Bills

Published on January 16, 2026

Hello again! It's your favorite CPA in-law, Hoi Li. I know, I know—we all wanted the Gold. That Morocco match was a penalty shootout heartbreak for the ages. But as I always tell my clients: A win is a win, even if it's Bronze.

1. Nigeria vs Egypt: The Fight for the Podium

The Super Eagles have shifted focus to the Third-Place match. Tanimu is rooting for the Bronze, and the predicted lineup shows a team hungry to end AFCON 2025 on a high note. Against a tough Egyptian side, this isn't just a friendly—it's about pride and finishing strong.

2. The "Bronze Strategy" for your Taxes

In the world of tax, everyone wants the "Gold Medal" (paying ₦0.00 tax). But sometimes, the best strategy is the Bronze Strategy—securing steady, reliable "Small Wins." For example, the new ₦800k Salary Exemption. It’s not a billion-naira loophole, but it’s a solid "Bronze" win that keeps your cash flow steady and legal.

3. Why Third-Place Matters (CPA Perspectives)

  • Steady Returns: Just like a Bronze medal, a steady tax refund or a low-risk deduction is better than chasing high-risk tax "hacks" that get flagged by the NRS VAR.
  • Third-Party Clarity: Be careful with "Third-Party" payments (like Bank Transfer VAT). Just because the Super Eagles are playing for 3rd doesn't mean you should ignore the 3rd-party charges on your account!
Hoi Li's Bronze Tip: Don't wait for a "Golden" opportunity to fix your taxes. Start with the small wins. Check our ₦800k Exemption Guide to see if you qualify for a 0% tax rate today!
