This is a Fake list without My Governor Jonah Jang
of Plateau State

I'm not a Mathematician,,, I'm a Pure MICROBIOLOGIST

A problem ,,
Right now a girl I intend to marry her parent won't allow us because of diff church baground...

Churches are now condeming themselves..this church is wrong, that church is right. allow God to judge ..

So many GENERAL overseer..A title most men of God are after..

People now Worshipping Men instead of God...

I can go on and on....
.

Sue him for court,, thats what Americans do...and others will learn from it....

thats is y Government should Harmonized salaries, by using only one salary structure

the guy is right, he is just telling is to be careful

I don't really get this three times a month and day... is it that we can withdraw up to 10 times a days asin doing that for just three times in a month or how?

lucianohase: This is one african mentality i hate so much,especially when choosing one's life patner...this is exactly what made a close friend of mine marry a very sweet n lavly US lady after he left the shores of Africa.. His parents and the parents of his ex-lover destroyed his former wonderful relationship,which made him vow not to have anything to do with any nigerian lady or a lady bred in africa,just to escape some of these bullshit traditions and prejudice. Nobody knew when he got married except me, though he sent his wedding pictures to his parents later. His wealthy parents were so disappointed,his mum wept...As for me,i was so happy for him.

u see am.? parent are not always right....what will be wil surely be and what wont be wont be.
just like i said b4 i a have seen marriage with parentals blessings colapsing and i have seen marriage without parental blessings succeeding..
Marriage is not about parents,sisters, brothers,,, its about two peope who understood themselve ,Marriage is not about tribe, Religion,ethnicity
Marriage is about Love, understanding, patience with one another.?..Thats the problem of Africa and Nigeria.....always linking, tribe, Religion, rich or poor and ethnicity.....

freecocoa: Alright, now I get it.

Thank God u did get it.......

jesuslovesme123: The mother of the girl in your post may not be tribalistic - she may just be practicing caution. The fradulent activities of some Nigerian men have tarnished the image of the "Nigerian Man" globally. Fraudsters, internet scammers, boko demons and thieving politicians have collectively contributed to this.
From within Nigeris, we may be able to decipher who the good guys are, and who the bad guys are, but foreigners living outside can't..

caution my foot,,, the persons gertting married may have courted and examind themself...What about wolves that comes in sheep clothing ,, parents are sometimes sentimental...they power of marriage doesn't lies on them, na God dey give person good partner, and even come bless them

freecocoa: Is there something wrong with you?

freecocoa: Is there something wrong with you?

freecocoa: Is there something wrong with you?

Nothing is wrong with me''' ur type even after marriage u will go seeking for advice for ur Home from your Dad

As long as we no get meters na waste of time',cos estimated charges will continue....

freecocoa: If my dad says he doesn't want me to marry someone, then there definitely must be something wrong somewhere(not even a strand of his hair has any prejudice in it ) so I'll definitely look into his reasons and if it's something that can't be resolved, hmm, I may just have to let go.

Then marry your Dad

Marriage is all about love without a third party, the truth is our parents are destroying it by interfering''theirs is to advice the children not to stand on the way ,,,i have seen marriage where perental blessings were given but it didnt stand the test of time and i have seen ones where parent make trouble and refuse to bless it and its working ...
so parent should stop it and pray for their children thats all that matters,,:-)

Its this kind of policy that Nigeria institutions implement Asap,, but if its to the advantage of the common Man it would b delayed in implementing...or not implemented at all....
I'm going to withdraw my Money before September ..lolz.

President of the Senate, Senator David Mark has  reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment towards addressing the ills in the education sector including the demands by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP)  and other tertiary institutions in the country.

Senator Mark said when he played host to the Executives of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics(ASUP ) in his office that the biggest investment any government can give to its citizenry is education at all levels.

He said: , “the demands of ASUP indicates that the Union is not selfish. They are requesting for not only their welfare but infrastructural development that would promote learning in the Polytechnics .

“I was delighted when I heard that the Union gave room for the new Minister of Education to settle down and look into the demands of the Union. This shows some level of understanding.

“We must continue to dialogue. What we need is to resolve all the issues raised and bring back our students to classes. Polytechnic education is a unique form of education no nation desirous of development  can ignore.

Senator  Mark assured that the Senate under his leadership will continue to do the needful to make sure normalcy returns to our Polytechnics, “the Senate will continue to do the needful to bring back our students to classes and ensure normalcy returns to the sector.”

When the Pension Reform Act (Amendment)
Bill 2013 was introduced by the President
Goodluck Jonathan administration,
pensioners and Nigerians in general heaved
a sigh of relief that challenges, especially
corruption and sharp practices in the old
pension system, would be fixed once for all.
The hope was inspired by the passion with
which the Senate and the House of
Representatives pursued the pension probe
and the anger expressed by the lawmakers
during the debate on the pension probe
report. Senators described the pension loot
as blood money.
However, all that hope is fast melting away
as intrigues and ethno-religious sentiments
seem to have taken the center stage in the
consideration of issues that have direct
impact on the lives of Nigeria in the National
Assembly, especially the Senate.
Ethnic jingoists seem to have their way in
the Senate and working seriously to get
converts to score some political points. A
typical example of this virus trying to infect
broad-minded members is the on-going
Pension Reform Bill pending in the upper
chamber.
Though the bill being considered by both
chambers of the national legislative arm
would positively impact on Nigerians who
had served their fatherland, the issue of who
leads the National Pension Commission
(PENCOM) has become a big one that has
attracted some interest and is badly
affecting the process of amending the Act.
The unfortunate intrigue that plays out on
the matter is the alleged external influence
from some PENCOM former Commissioners
who allegedly are working hard to re-enact
the third term project introduced into the
nation’s polity but died premature death.
The Commissioners are said to be using
some elements in both chambers of the
parliament to mount pressure and it was
gathered that only divine intervention could
save the Bill.
Sources said the main interest is
pensioners’ money. Like the recent scandal
that rocked pension funds in the country,
there are some ‘professionals’ and ‘experts’
that have mastered the act of causing
misery to people that had meritoriously
served the nation by ensuring that they did
not get their pension money.
But the Deputy Chairman, House of
Representatives Committee on Pension,
Hon. Samson Okwu, who represents Oju/Obi
Federal Constituency, has condemned the
introduction of ethnicity into the
consideration of the bill.
He said, “As far as I am concerned, the issue
of the National Pension Commission is not
an issue that everybody should trivialize by
looking at where the DG should come from.
Nobody is making law because of somebody
who wants to be DG but the competence of
the holder of that office”.
If the Pension Reform Bill sees the light of
day, with the activation of the of Pension
Transition Arrangement Department, PTAD,
for the first time since 2004, by the present
management of PENCOM, and the proposals
in President Jonathan’s bill to strengthen
the PTAD, looting of pensioners’ funds in the
various pension departments would be a
thing of the past.
Pensioners who retired before the coming
into force of the Contributory Pension
Scheme would also no longer travel from
different parts of the country to queue in
Abuja to collect their pension.
Already, government has activated the PTAD
to lessen the sufferings of the pensioners,
while PENCOM is fast opening zonal officers
in the six geo-political zones of the country.
The thrust of the Pension Reform Act 2013
Bill is to enhance the powers of the
Commission in its regulatory and
enforcement activities, enhance the
protection of pension fund assets and
unlock the opportunities for the deployment
of pension assets for national development.
It also tries to review the sanctions regime
to reflect current realities, provide for the
participation of the informal sector and also
provide the framework for the adoption of
the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) by
states and local governments.
The PTAD is designed to take over the
payment of pensions to pre-2004 Pension
Reform (retirees under the old pension
scheme) from the Police Pension Office;
Customs, Immigration, and Pension Office,
and the Civil Service Pension Department. It
is designed to have monies of this set of
pensioners transmitted directly into their
bank accounts rather than through a third-
party (the pension departments).
Unfortunately, the PTAD was not activated in
line with Section 30, Sub Section 2 (a) of
the Pension Reform Act 2004 until the
present Ag. DG took over.
But in order to put an end to the era of
impunity and, in some instances,
widespread corruption in the various
Pension Departments, the PRA 2013 Bill
seeks to enhance the regulatory authority
and efficiency of the Commission to provide
greater oversight on, and reposition the
PTAD.
The bill also seeks to review the penalties
and sanctions as the sanctions currently
provided under the PRA 2004 are no longer
sufficient deterrents against infractions of
the PRA 2004.
Furthermore, there are currently more
sophisticated mode of diversion of pension
assets, such as diversion and/or non-
disclosure of interests and commissions
accruable to pension fund assets, which
were not addressed by the PRA 2004.
Consequently, the bill seeks to create new
offences and provide for stiffer penalties that
will serve as deterrence against
mismanagement or diversion of pension
funds’ assets under any guise, as well as
other infractions of the provisions of the Act.
One of the contending issues in the bill
which has brought sharp division within the
ranks of the lawmakers is the years of
experience. The PRA 2013 Bill reviewed the
provision of the 2004 Act with respect to
qualifying years of experience for the DG
such that the requirement is graduated in
descending order from that of the Chairman
at 20 years to that of the DG at 15 years.
The bill recommends the removal of the 20
years of experience and replaces it with 15
years and emphasises competence. Laws
establishing some other important financial
regulatory agencies such as the Central
Bank of Nigeria, CBN Act, Nigeria Deposit
Insurance Corporation, NDIC, and Federal
Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, do not require
any years of experience, while the laws
establishing the Securities and Exchange
Commission, SEC, National Insurance
Commission, NAICOM, Corporate Affairs
Commission (CAC) require between 10 and
15 years’ experience.
It further said that deemphasizing years of
experience is consistent with global best
practice, which emphasizes competency
rather than years of post-qualification
experience, which does not necessarily
translate into capacity and capability.

This recommendation for appointment of the
DG was in line with the position of critical
stakeholders during the public hearing on
the bill. The National President of Federal
Universities Pensioners Association, Ayuba
Kura, said that harping on issue of years of
experience instead of competence was a bad
precedent.
His position was supported by the Vice
President, External Affairs of the National
Association of Nigerian Students, NANS,
Comrade Adamu Kabiru Matazu.
The Nigeria Customs Service, the
Immigration and Prisons Pension Office, in
their separate submissions, stated, “On the
issue of appointment of PENCOM DG, 15
years is enough for anybody to be so
appointed more especially, if the person had
worked within the system. In addition to
cognate experience, there is something that
you cannot take away from a person who
has worked within a system and knows the
nitty-gritty of it.”
The Vice President, Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC), Comrade Isa Aremu, in an interview,
said, “As good as the old provisions were,
there are lots of gaps. For instance, you put
the experience of the DG at 20, you are
silent on that of the Commissioners. In fact,
for Commissioners, no provisions for any
years of experience and as, a matter of fact,
Commissioners constitute the reserve pool
for future DG.
“If the DG is away, any of the
Commissioners could have come on board.
So, with the way the existing provision is, a
youth corps member or an intern could be
made a Commissioner and automatically
could become a DG because the provision
was very silent on that.
“You can have people with experience, 20
years, 30 years who could be honest and
reliable and manage this scheme well. But
you could also have people with 30 years of
experience and mismanaged the scheme. In
fact, some people have argued that after 20
years of experience in any field, such person
may not be able to add more value to
whatever the person is being given, because
of law of diminishing returns”.
But efforts by some former Commissioners
seeking third term after completing two
terms of four years each as well as ensuring
that one of them emerges as the DG have
allegedly contributed to frustrating the
Pension Bill.
It was gathered that a serving member of
the National Assembly from Kano State is
the arrowhead of the move to ensure that
one of his kinsmen becomes the DG or the
bill will be scuttled. The lawmaker has been
accused of being the antagonist of the
PENCOM Committees.
Recently, the Joint National Assembly
Committee on Pension, Establishment and
Public Service Matters, saddled with the
responsibility of spearheading the
amendment of the Pension Act, withdrew the
bill allegedly on the orders of the Senate
President.
Chairman of the House Committee on
Pensions, Rep. Ibrahim Bawa Kamba (PDP,
Kebbi), and his Senate counterpart on
Establishment and Public Service Matters,
Senator Aloysius Etok (PDP, Akwa Inom),
had submitted the report to the two
chambers in which they recommended the
removal of 20 years of experience as a
qualification for the appointment of the
PENCOM DG.
The joint committee recommended that a
person to be appointed to the office of the
DG should be a ‘fit and proper person with
adequate cognate experience in pension
matters’. If the bill is enacted into law, it will
pave the way for competence so as not to
allow persons that had contributed to the
liquidation of banks in the country and
persons with questionable character taking
over the commission.
Whereas President Jonathan had, in the
initial bill sent to the parliament in April,
asked for a downward review of the years of
experience required of the DG from 20 to 15
years, the report submitted by Etok and
Kamba recommended for the total removal
of any years of experience describing it as
“over-bloated” and unreal since pension
management in the real sense of it was less
than 10 years. The Committee recommended
a “fit and proper person with adequate
cognate experience on pension matters for
both the DG and the Commissioners
respectively”.
