All CS can never retire poor..
My Father inlaw is a CS and he's rich same as Mother inlaw.
At Dangote, many are retiring poor and many have retired rich too, is all about Perspective.

As for me, very soon I will leave Dangote as a rich yourg man.
I want a Military or Police Job and it shall be well with me.

Perspective ni o.



Dangote pays well by the Nigerian extent. I used to have an electrical guy that was earning around 80k at Dangote some 10 years ago. Couldn't even speak English. Dangote did not send Pali. But the guy was damn good

Why do most govt employees end up retiring very poor and wretched.

What might have caused it?



I will respond to this . Most of them are extremely lazy, stupid and unproductive. With horrible character . Check out all the productive government workers , they are very reasonable and approachable . Those ones get called to places where doors are opened for them because they find solutions to problems .

If our government offices focus on productivity , majority of them are unfit to be cleaners ( no disrespect to cleaners )

because immediately they got employed, they rush to get married and immediately children start coming in.

They forgot that 9ja girls are liability that will drain their salary.

Only those that are into bribery do make it.

My simple advice to them is never marry any 9ja girl they are all Oloshio and liability. If you are already married to any of them, kindly divorce her now before is too late!


A word is enough for the wise!

With the rising cost of living, poor salaries and many children they have. Why are you surprised
Re: Why Do Many Govt Employees Retire Poor. by Felixv: 1:39pm On Jun 10, 2023
it's not just civil servants -but anyone who does not plan for the future would retire poor. But the way things are in this country many people would definitely retire poor or would work forever.

a pension plan is a must
medical plan
your own personal house -no matter how small
invest in your children (if you have any) and try to have a stable home.

It depends on what you mean by retiring poor.
Pension is the gain in civil service when one is old.
But for private job, in old age , u may end up wretched when the energy to continue is no longer there and your kids are not responsible .Even to feed becomes a big problem.
Re: Why Do Many Govt Employees Retire Poor. by OtuologyProf(m): 1:42pm On Jun 10, 2023
Because they pay unnecessary bills
I'll rather stay in my village mansion, open a supermarket on my own land, farm on the other portions of my land and even if I have to pay a bill, it will be #1000 electricity charge.
The only reason I'm in Panya is because I'm living on free rent.

Well lack of planning for the future
Depending on only that source of income
Family pressures ( because they know once month ends them don pay)

So the way forward is to plan for the future
Cut down expenses in terms of children fees (there are good school dat pay less fees), buy food in bulk (it saves)
Your house rent shouldn't be more than two months of your salary (start small in life, you are not here to impress anyone).
Your wife/partner should not be a full-time house wife. She should own some that brings in income

Above all, have side hustles that can bring in income weekly or daily.

With this person fit manage life small

Because they are not fortunate to work in a ministry where you they can steal money .
For example level 8 teacher teaching in one secondary school in Lagos is earning the same money as another level 8 working at alausa , but the one at alausa is using Rx 350 and the same level 8 teacher is still struggling to pay rent for his 1room and parlor apartment he his living because of the type of place he works.

When I got my first salary 9 years ago as a civil servant, I told myself that i was going to save so much in order to invest, I was even seeing myself having my own house in 5 yrs time, here I am trying to apply for a loan since morning on quick bucks and I just received salary 2 days ago.

I'm grateful to God Almighty, if you want to enjoy tomorrow even though it is not assured u just have to sacrifice so many things, like ur choice of clothes, foods and so many others.
U just have to be contempted and have great plans for the little u earn and forget competing with anyone in the society, everyone carries different grace.

Family didn't help matter too bcuz of their constant demand monthly, to them u are working.
Business owner can easily lie that market is not moving, but a civil servant case is different.
I have seen some well paid staff that still complains about their salary not bn enough for them. To me I believe everything is just the grace of God.





I pray for you from the bottom of my heart as the spirit is leading me to, heaven will be open concerning you and God will shower his blessings upon you and your family, Amen. Please try to invest in a. Biz towards the future no matter how little it is,I pray God leads you. Peace

Additionally Government usually delay their pension, this is what I don’t understand why government automatically remove pension from their salary every month but after the end of their service year the money cannot be returned automatically same way Ot was removed, we want for maintenance in one pension office getting their, the first person I met was my secondary teacher, she retired 5years ago , she was still struggling to get a pension

Everybody here is now castigating people with Government jobs, the thing is that most of you guys are hypocrites because whenever there's an opening in the civil service the numbers of applicants vying for the position is always on a ratio 20 to 1.

Civil Servant, means Serving Civily that is you are a servant meant to be serving, to graduate to be a Master, you have to think outside the box via having several streams of income otherwise you remain a servant for life shocked

Should they be rich, what sort of stupid question is this. It's called a Civil service for a reason.

Most of them are even thieves. And beg alot.

2000 to 1!

Many people lost hope and don't bother going for recruitment exercise anymore because the positions have already been allocated to friends and family.

truth be told most poor people deserve to be poor. That is how life is supposed to be. Not everyone has the intelligence or luck to be rich and it is ok. If you fight hard enough you could increase your chance and escape.
By the way you can also be poor and die happy. Lol. That is just life. Messed up

Poor People are poor because they lack knowledge

Poverty is a state of the mind

It is caused by lack of knowledge
