Within the ambit of the law you say ? So jungle justice is within the ambit of Nigeria laws ? How many politicians have you set on fire ?
What an idiot !

Odensi yarning rubbish

💯
They even said we should free Evans The Kidnapper since he did not kpai anybody and is now a good boy. I had to dig up posts of people who died in his hands. The wicked man who started billionaire kidnapping in Nigeria and see what we have today. Anyone can be kidnapped. People of little memory.

Mightymanna:
just because of Kunu? People that steals food are not being punish Islamically especially in times of difficulty. They just let him be and it is totally unacceptable to shame human being like this. Even the OP that uploads this pic and video is wrong

Ibime:
Stop trying to add Benin to places wey get levels. Benin is no upgrade on Ibadan or Ogun. Benin wey dey export kpekus everywhere around Africa and Italy.

ThierryJay:
Exactly. So in reality its not difficult for a GT in NNPC to get a tokunbo 03 - 07 Corolla after a year plus of working.

Akinlot:
I was going to bring this here 😂

Our favourite x.com punter posted 44 games yesterday alone and lost all.

That is why you've not been seeing updates here.

GloriousGbola:
if you have lived up north, you will realise this is already the case. friday is practically a weekend in any civil service job

ThierryJay:
Don't be surprised that that Line 5 - benefits as stipulated in NNPC condition of service - is almost as much, if not more, than the 7.5m consolidated annual package itself.

That's where all these field trip allowances, offshore trainings per diems (in USD), monetized local trainings all go into. These guys no fit touch their main salaries.

Nnpc where the unseen is more than what's visible.

GloriousGbola:
not sure if nnpc gts are separate from NDMPRA .

if you are in on of those regulatory agencies - they can just post you to sit on rig or terminal. you will chop fat allowances, and they will also be settling you. and you will likely be playing solitaire all day

if you are in a place like lag, you will be collecting protection money from stations and if there is fuel scarcity you can run around accusing dealers of fake hoarding and shake them down even more.

one fuel scarcity like that they sealed multiple stations and dealer and manager were lined up at dpr office to drop 250k each for unsealing

that is regulatory agency sha. not NNPC proper

imho NNPC is great for people who want to pursue masters etc while on the job. much less pressure than when you are in the private sector.

GloriousGbola:
why would you go to a public uni where what you will learn first and foremost is to become a sadist?
i am not sure you will even be able to fit in.
my perception of university lecturers is people who are unwilling to adopt the future and insist on archaic texts

i would say focus on private unis

E good as you abandon ship. Nothing dey academics in Naija.

The poor remuneration + non payment of certain earned allowances is the major reason why ASUU always embark on strike but they mask it with revitalization of universities and fighting for the survival of public universities system bla bla.

Also, it doesn't help that promotion in academia is based solely on publications., hence the aphorism, "publish or perish"

You go do research finish, go through the rigour of writing the paper and still have to dole out 200k to a journal to publish it? On top your chikena salary which is not even enough to attend to your family responsibilities.

Whatsapp & telegram groups have sprung up where people advertise their papers and seek financial collaborators whose name are added as co-authors to publish a paper. They advertise these co-authorship slots from 20k - 50k depending on the amount required by the journal.

I know someone, a non teaching staff who did a transfer of service from a Federal university to NIMASA in 2023. He was placed on the same level 12/3 he was in the university but guess what, his salary jumped from 300k/month to 2.2m/month. The reason being that NIMASA is a revenue generating agency and they're allowed to fix their salaries.

Dude is now financially stable, and has copped a 2010 Toyota Sienna.

The only good thing about about academia is the job security it provides.



Go out and touch grass.

The ride must not necessarily be a Tokunbo. People dey japa and sell their good rides to raise money.

Any GT wey plan well go cop ride on that salary

semid4lyfe:
Not bad at all.

In comparison, a professor at bar earns about 550k/month after deductions. That's about 6.6m per annum.

It's the reason they all justle and go to any length to be appointed VC's cos their takehome soars to about 5m/month.

I want to believe NNPC has staff cooperative and credit facilities at discounted annual interest rates.

Any serious GT will buy a decent car in 2 years with that salary, especially those outside Lagos and Abuja.

A40:
Any punter carrying Atalanta is not a serious one.

Back then if you send me a game. Atalanta is the first team I remove. I don't care what you picked them. Lose oh, draw oh, corners, goals. Even if you say someone won't go naked on the pitch. 90th minute Retegui go off cloth.

They are Satan's team

TemporaryHansel:
The withdrawal limits imposed on banks by CBN now is crazy. How can they restrict people to 100k a day via card withdrawal? I don’t just understand this country anymore. Everyday you wake up to some different bullshït.

GloriousGbola:
Nnpc is imho the easiest place to save money. Very stress free work. Only run around when oga at the top suddenly remebers something. Also depending on your role you will likely get a function car anyway - Mitsubishi pickup.

GloriousGbola:
Free market economics

Price of cooking gas is also going down. You need to buy from nipco or Mobil though.

In the last two months it has dropped from 1260 to 1100 per kg. And I am hearing it may drop to 900.

Emaprince:
which tokunbo car you wan buy bros? With 7.5m gross? You never remove tax sef.

Then after making personal expenses for 365 days, how much go remain? You already pointed out the effect Tinubu induced inflation.

Two years that money is 15m. It can buy some tokunbos, but, then he isnt gonna save all. Also factor in the fact that, in that two years, cost of things must have gone up further..

iamoyindamola:
Izzou said it last week na
4 episodes out already

iamoyindamola:
I don't understand the logic in this kind of behavior
It's better they close their state for the whole 30 days so that we can know they are serious about Ramadan

iamoyindamola:
Every Wednesday
Still in ep 2, I only wanted to just look at reacher small until I finished the 4 episodes 🤣
I will return to paradise now that my body is calm

Spy is a generally nice person that sees everything through an ethnic prism.

If I advise him to buy BMW instead of Audi he will try to find out if I am saying that just because the sole importer of Audi in Nigeria is Igbo.
