Career / Re: My Former Company Refuse To Acknowledge My Pension by Gentlebabs(m): 7:02pm On Feb 27 |
You have to be 50years to access your full balance if you have accessed 25% already. If you want to access the balance and they are not cooperating, send a letter of complaint via mail to Pencom: info@pencom.gov.ng and cooy Federal Competition & Consumer Protection Council: contact@cpc.gov.ng. Better still visit any Pencom Zonal office closest to you. If you are in Lagos, their address is: 88A, Oduduwa Crescent, Ikeja GRA, Ikeja - Lagos. 1 Like |
Properties / Re: I Want To Buy A Land In Abuja But A Friend Is Advising I Wait After Election by Gentlebabs(m): 8:59am On Dec 12, 2022 |
Politicians who have lands will be selling their lands now at a seemingly cheaper rate to fund their election. I think this is the best time to huy because when they finally win the elections, they will start buying again to save funds for the next four years and it will be costly, except you can compete with them. Long story cut short, it is better to buy before election and sell after election if you must. Just logic. 1 Like |

Family / Re: How To Process Death Benefits In Nigeria by Gentlebabs(m): 11:06pm On Nov 13, 2022 |
Under Section 4(5) of the Pension Reform Act 2014 (as amended), there is a life insurance maintained, where the beneficiaries of the deceased employee/contributor are entitled to a life insurance benefit of about 3 times the annual salary of the deceased employee while he was actively engaged. Also, if the deceased joined NSCDC before 2004, and have used at least 10 years in service before 2004, he will be entitled to accrued rights, which is supposed to be added to his contributions with his Pension Fund Administrator as at retirement. Since your father died in active service. My advise to you would be the following: 1. If you are the next of kin, approach his employers and notify them. You will need a death certificate as you go. 2. Get a Letter 0f Administration and approach the PFA, notify them and get to know the balance in the RSA account. The PFA will also notify Pencom, so if your Dad qualifies for accrued rights, they will process it alongside. Make sure you carry your siblings along and especially if your dad has more than one wife, everybody has to be carried along. It is quite easy if you follow this simple process. Please, do not give anyone any shishi to process this for you. You can do it by yourself and it is very simple. If you have a family lawyer, get them to help you process the LOA. If you need further enquiries, visit www.pencom.gov.ng and visit the nearest zonal office to you. I have a video where Pencom further explained this. I could send it to you if you like. You can say “Hi” to me on 08178827380 – Babs. Again, do not give anybody shishi, so that you will not be scammed. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

It's really appealing how a mortal man will so disrespect a mortal man in a godlike frame; an epitome of culture and dignity. Can Charki Boy say this of any revered northern monarch? This is an insult to the Yoruba race at large, especially with his choice of words. But the gods are wise. 1 Like |

A Poem: Venus, The Goddess Of Love I met a damsel She is a goddess Her beauty is endearing Her aura, infectious If you know Veluptas The goddess of sensual pleasures Then you'll know Venus The Roman goddess of love She pulled her magic wand None could ever resist her For she passes as a diety If this is the road to yonder place Please help tell my people My choice is made Afterall, once shall all men die In her enclave were beauties Mortal frames in immortal entities Aisha Quandisha played aide The magnificent goddess of sexuality While Aizen Myo-o watched This goddess of love and lust smiled lustfully She was a fine sadomasochist Nothing else mattered Fearful, nostalgic but ecstatic I braced up for impact Like an airplane about to crash What a sexy way to explore and expire Testosterone became active He is the god of passion His name is Anteros He stepped up to me Gently he whispered to a mortal In the land of the immortal Here, you don't need aphrodisiacs or tramadol A good show lasts five minutes Thirteen by extension, trust me he said Confused and puzzled I inquired Then why do the earthly Queen say "Harder, harder" They never get satisfied "Stop killing yourselves mortals" If it exceeds thirteen, it is entertainment he said Go, enjoy it while it lasts Go worship in her altar! As I approached with caution Flanked by Cupid The Roman god of erotic love Suddenly, I resurrected Back to the land of the living It took an anopheles mosquito To make me realise it was all but a dream So, i was plagued by chronic malaria! Even though the mosquito I killed For denying me pleasures forever I learnt a great lesson Except my will is updated Never again will I use enhancers In place of tiger nuts, dates and banana Lest a WhatsApp status last longer than me To be awarded a Ph.D As a researcher per excellence In the faculty of Gender and Sexuality In the prestigious University of Life I need to reach Venus The goddess of love We need to finish the empirical study Via the instrumentality of direct knowledge If you know the quickest route to Venus Please "Hulla", "Odimkpa" Who knows, maybe we can go together I guarantee you maximum "Shishi" What I can't guarantee is If the story will be told by us But history will be kind to us For this is a plague destroying homes The onus of truth lies with us...

Listen to me Before you tighten the noose Overdose or result to poisoning Hear what I have to say I feel your pain Because I have been there The desire to end it all But suicide is not an option I too have been pained Deceived by blood Cheated upon yester years Suffered depression also But here I am Still standing strong Twice I wanted out Trust me, I did too It seemed the hard way And the only way But in the end This Guy survived Yes, I survived Five times I wrote JAMB Four but one I passed But I hadn't a godfather It eluded me like a vapour Depressed and lonely I wanted out But still I am here It's not with it Bro. Don't do it! Why not allow him go Sis. If he hurts you often It is a red flag Love will come again And you will be happy again You are a shining star Work in your timeline Very soon you will fly For every Balloon can fly Don't give up on yourself You got a cheer leader in me So, suicide is not an option In you, songs yet unsung Books yet unwritten Stories yet untold Empires yet uncreated Together we can Bro. Let's tell our story of struggles Triumph of faith over fear Who can stop the moon Tell me who can stop the sun Even the star shines brightest in the dark In your dark moments Lies a ray of hope Please hand on Don't give up on yourself Suicide is not an option You are the real deal Billions competed for one egg Yours made it to the ovary You are a born survivor God's greatest creation HE has got your back Don't bail on HIM now If I died yesterday You won't be reading this Today, I am shining light A torch bearer And a revelation to my generation It's time to wake up And brace up Because suicide is not an option Babatunde Raimi Author/Life Coach/Poet 3 Likes |

Career / On The Released 2.5% Differential Released By The Federal Government For Pension by Gentlebabs(m): 12:56am On Jul 14, 2021 |
*PESPECTIVES: WILL THE 2.5% ADDITIONAL FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AFFECT ALL RETIREES? BEING A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SUBJECT BY BABATUNDE RAIMI, THE AUTHOR OF PLANNING YOUR RETIREMENT AND BEYOND SALARY. HE IS ALSO A PENSION AND RETIREMENT ENTHUSIAST, A POET, BUSINESS, ENTREPRENEURIAL, POLICY AND ECONOMIC STRATEGIST.* Let me use this medium to say to every Federal Government Retiree under the Contributory Pension Scheme from July or September 2014 and not those under the Defined Benefits Scheme (Old Scheme) will all receive the 2.5% differential as an alert from their PFA and they will be notified. Please clap for the Federal Government (Applause) You will recall that under the Obasanjo regime, at the inception of the Contrubutory Pension Scheme, you as an employee contribute(d) 7.5% of your majorly your basic, housing and transport, while the FG also contribute(d) 7.5%. The Pension Reform Act is reviewed every 10years, so the next review was in September 2014 under the Jonathan regime which increased the contribution as will be analysed later in this write up.. Based on paragraph 2 above, you will recall from your Retirement Statement of Account with your Pension Fund Admistrator that your contributions and that of the FG was the same which ought not to be because of the review of September 2014, which increased your own contribution to 8% and that of the FG to 10%. The FG "does not seem" to have been remitting their own additional of 2.5% which is what is now called *DIFFRENTIAL*. It is this differential that the FG has now decided to pay from the pension review of 2014. And to the retired under the CPS, it stops at your date of retirement. For example, if you were earning N100,000, your contribution as pension as an employee will be (8% of N100,000) which is N8,000. And FG's contribution is suppose to be (10% of N100,000) which is N10,000 instead of the 7.5% that the FG was "supposedly remitting". So, the money you are now expecting as *differential* using the example above is the remaining 2.5% which is N2,500 since September 2014 till your date of retirement, but I heard they will start from July 2014. *STILL ON THE PROMISED 2.5% DIFFERENRIAL USING STIMULATION* *Assumption:* �� Name: Yakubu Bola Chinedu Ministry: Ministry Of Interior Year of 1st Appointment: January 2nd, 1985 Date of Retirement: January 1st, 2020 The much talked about 2.5% unremitted herein called *differential* by the FG is from your pension contribution from September 2014 till your last month of retirement If for instance, using the above example, the above civil servant was earning #400,000 as monthly salary as at September 2014, then his personal pension contributions under the PRA 2014 as amended would be (0.08 × 400,000 = 32,000). By the same amendment, your employers (FG) are supposed to pay (0.10 × #400,000 = #40,000. So, your pension contribution is supposed to be 32,000 + 40,000 totaling *#72,000* But what you will realise is being remitted is still the 7.5% by your employer, under the PRA 2004, instead of 10% from September 2014 thereabout under the amendment of the PRA. The 2.5% being the differential, for the purpose of specificity, using this example is 40,000 - 32,000 = *#8,000* Now, calculate 8,000 from September 2014 till the month of retirement (I can't really tell if they will start from June 2014) as analysed hereunder: Sept 2014 to Dec. 2014 = 4months Jan. to Dec. 2015 = 12months Jan. to Dec. 2016 = 12months Jan. to Dec. 2017 = 12months Jan. to Dec. 2018 = 12months Jan. to Dec. 2019 = 12months Total = 64 months. Now multiply the assumed differential of 2.5% being 8,000 from our example by 64 months. That is (64 × 8,000 = *#512,000* The differential in this case is *Five Hundred and Twelve Thousand Naira* So, if you go back to your payslips from the months quoted herein, you will have a faint idea of what differential you might be expecting. But remember, nothing is absolute and this cannot be predicted to mathematical certainty hence the example here is just a rough guide, which you need to study very well because every civil servant under the the CPS have their own peculiarities. My advice, don't dwell so much on this, it will come when it will come. I like to say here that, I see this differential is a right and not a privilege. So, if you were in service from the date the increament was made; even if you are retired under the programmed withdrawal or annuity option of retirement, this differential will be paid to you through your PFA and you will be notified, regardless of your choice of retirement plan. Though it took time, but it is better late than never, hence I believe the FG government should be applauded for not only listening to the cries of our Senior Citizens by releasing the back log of accrued rights up to December 2020 and also making provision for the differential as it were. If we are quick to castigate in a state of dis-contentment, dis-enchantment and dis-satisfaction, we should also be quick to celebrate and give the FG a part on the back when they get it right. This development is a big win for the FG, Pencom and the board of Pencom at large. Of a truth, this is a testament that "the labour of our heroes past shall *NEVER* be in vain." I hope I have been able to explain this to the best of my ability. Remember this will apply to all employees under the Treasiry Funded Account as an employee of the FG under the Contributory Pension Scheme. I really hope my epistle is was worth reading. So, expect these alert from your PFA, but do not expect too much so that you will not be "somewhat" disappointed in the long run.

A Poem: Eros When he went between my between I drowned him in my world he crossed the river swiftly and had a sweet juicy birth never again will he swim in another. He was on a voyage to eros he had to work extra shift as he swam from dusk to dawn. Never have I been so enthused nor displayed so much energy... that guy was created for pleasure! Torn between my lusty world I soaked him in flirtatious energy the type your parents never taught you. So never will a "Wobe" child steal my crown especially as I rock him like a genius his legally married porn star. It was like a seaside romance.
