The economy is not looking good for most Nigerians right now. So I was just thinking, what if the Federal Government, or whatever authority that has the power, allows pensioners, both active and retired, a one time 25% unconditional withdrawal of their pension contribution balance as at today? This will help many families meet their immediate needs. Is there any palliative that could be better than this? After all, it's been the contributors' money over the years.

On the flip side, and this is to our economists, will there be any serious negative impacts on the economy should people have general access to this fund?

Watcharena:
is not about NIgeria it's about France and the western world , NIgeria it's self is been used ,why was there mo sanction on Ukraine after their coup

Onefornaija20:


DO Jiji ADS WORK for gadgets like phones and laptops?

Is the VIP advert package worth paying for on Jiji?

delkuf:
guy you keep saying this thing and I wonder how it will be possible. Do you know how much a bag of rice is presently. The price of things has tripled and you are saying 72k is enough to feed family of five.

Akwamkpuruamu:
They hurriedly commissioned Dangote Refinery but no single drop of refined oil has been seen anywhere around it. Now dem Don come with anoda Balablu Of PH refinery working in December

SOSinNigeria:
Funny. On the contrary, there are over 300,000 NIGERIAN REFUGEES in Niger republic! Guess what? They all will be sent packing once the war starts. Hundreds of thousands more will join them in moving to Nigeria. Won't you start shouting ronu again when those massive numbers start flooding Lagos? Burkina Faso and Mali are both under military rulers, have their countries become destroyed? Why would Niger be any different?

You're not waging war but you're threatening to invade them by tomorrow if the coup leaders don't reinstall the former president? Now, they've vowed not to bring him back, what will you guys do?

Kukutente23:
First, you are not a husband and father.
Secondly, i don't know your living standard but I can already imagine if 72K feeds you and your audio family a month
Third which country is paying 36k minimum wage?

backtovillage:
You don't get it.
Northern Nigeria is more connected to Niger than the rest of Nigeria. They won't allow any border wall or sanction as they feel Niger is also like them.
Buhari pamper them gave them cars , rail way even oil.
Military intervention in Niger will break Nigeria I can assure you that.
It takes a very wise leader to lead Nigeria.

SOSinNigeria:
It's either you're ignorant of the existencial threat on Northern Nigeria or knows it but covertly hoping it will happen for whatever wicked reasons.

There are millions of Northerners who are poor, unemployed and ready to cause anarchy with little motivation. Once war breaks out, Niger will be ravaged, small arms proliferation will provide a new means of engagement for the thousands of youths who are idle and hungry in the North. They will turn against the rest of the country and cause anarchy. Those in the South will push back, but those in the North will be too overwhelmed to mount any resistance.

I'm even surprised that Biafra secessionists are not excited because they're the ones that ought to be playing the roles Tinubu supporters are currently playing. A war in Niger and collapse of North will make Nigeria's breakup much easier.

1. The so called democratically elected leaders are responsible for the pitiful state of the country today
2. The Nigeriens are actually in support of this. It would've been a different case if they weren't. Do you think America would've cared if they were killed instead by this same military while they were marching out in peaceful protests? Your answer is as good as mine.
3. We have our hands full with insurgency from IPOB, BOKO, etc to want to send our troops far away from home.
4. We've been told that there's no money for subsidizing education, petroleum products and electricity, yet there seems to be enough for war.
5. This war is a power tussle between NATO and Russia. The French got kicked out to let the Russians in and America isn't happy about that. They fear Russia's influence may spread if left unchecked whereby many Africans may begin to abolish their democratic system of governance.
6. PBAT should be more concerned about reinforcing our borders and not directly invading Niger which I don't think he's thought of the consequences to come. For instance, Russia might assist the Nigeriens forces in crippling our economy by bombing pipelines or important infrastructures. We know how porous our borders are.
7. We stand to lose more if the Russia backed Nigeriens decide to retaliate and trust me when I say we're already too divided to want this.
8. PBAT is more concerned about pleasing the international community than listening to his own people. The Nigerian army is mostly made up of northerners, many of which are originally from Niger which in itself is problem.
9. America doesn't mean well for Africa! They stand to profit from this by selling weapons and ammunitions to the ECOWAS side of the conflict.

THeUNIFIER:
Na my problem with una be this. Why not allow the citizens of the country decide their fate? Una house dey on fire but na outside own una wan help put out... No be craze be that?

ogaemma:
Joke's and sentiment apart, Igbos have contributed so much on the development of Niger state.
Infact Suleja is like an Igbo community. The kind of massive structure's and buildings they built in Suleja is mind blowing.
They are developer's anywhere they go.

No matter your political affiliation, if you genuinely take time to listen to Peter Obi, you will know that the person sitting on the seat of power can take a cue or 2 from him. He talked about removing the corruption aspect first to know the true value of subsidy. Talked about upping local production and proper planning before taking subsidy off and floating Naira. Ive had a tooth removed before so the analogy of removing a tooth without anaesthesia makes alot of sense. Before the tooth was removed I used to experience some short burst of intense pain. Sometimes to the extent of rolling on the floor and crying. But when it was removed, anaesthesia was applied. This made my mouth numb and without feeling. Even the days following the removal, there was no pain just slight discomfort and soreness in my mouth. Same applies to subsidy removal.....With all the pain people are experiencing, they have refused to admit the truth. Tinubu's handling of subsidy removal and fx unification( I.e naira devaluation) were below par and wrongly timed

You won't believe that this guy is bubbling lively without obvious signs and symptoms of any health issue. He is 36 years old!

It's a pity that some people are a walking-time doom.
During my NYSC orientation years at Nonwa-gbam in Tai LGA in 2010, I find it difficult to understand why such a government organization can not carry out a simple routine blood pressure check up at the point of registration to ascertain suitability of youths for camp activities. Many today have the wrong impression that Hypertension is only prevalent and limited amongst the older people. Research have shown that a growing number of adults in their early 30's have same burden of chronic disease which are often asymptompatic

Let us learn to read it that way. Those who persist in taking offence to bed and serving it up as breakfast should exercise their right of boycotting Davido’s products – no one quarrels with that right.

Zupay:
In the UK, someone is paying £450 per month for a room in a shared house, which is about N495k per month

In Nigeria someone is paying an average of N15K for a room

But the person in the UK can earn £600 per week after tax and easily pay his rent

For the Nigerian on minum wage can he easily pay the rent with the skyrocketing cost of living?

NLegendforte:
How much is the minimum wage of the parents. What's the condition of the nation's economy

I beg to differ.

The question is: What is the structure of the examination?

It is difficult to study and train with modern equipment and be tested on archaic practices bordering on "cram and vomit". Many Nigerians who excelled in many professions abroad were initialed failed in Nigerian schools. Do you ever wonder why? Last time I checked, graduates from Nigerian universities are not world class. They need to update their curricula. Don't be surprised that it is the same exams that they used in the 1980s that they are still using in 2023.

Talk to doctors in your Teaching Hospitals about laparoscopic surgery or even common bronchoscopy, they will look at you like an alien.

richidinho:
How will north do that?

Have you been to the FCT before?

NLegendforte:
You are wrong, relative to the earnings of average Nigerians I don't think we are paying paltry sums. Stop comparing us with other countries with bigger advanced economy

phorget:
Those with higher qualifications have not gotten any job either.
