Access bank High interest deposit account HIDA is currently going for 5% interest rate.
FCMB has one that goes for 7% and above,but that was last year and i am not sure if it has been reviewed downward or upward.

My advice:
Why not save your money in some of these investments houses where they will invest your money to earn u more than what most of these banks are willing to offer.

I planned saving 50million naira in 5years and 10million naira per annum,currently i have been able to save the sum of 3,090,000.

My village house,is nearing completion,which I intend to complete by August this year.

Gambling is the worst vice on earth.

SlyDev:
What about Enugu Anambra imo and Abia?

99 percent of Federal Government appointments in enugu are igbos, ibo are worse.

This is where Yoruba should get sense, both ibo and Fulani will not pick Yoruba first before their people

This is the worst comment I have ever read on Nairaland.
Igbos are worst how?

U live in a homogeneous society and u expect them to import Muslims to Enugu to become a commissioner or what?
Just mind what u say and stop being a bigot.

Lagos is heterogeneous and that is why u guys have MURIC disturbing the peace of the entire south west with noice and unmerited attacks

Like it or not,If President Jonathan joins the Apc...many governors in the opposition would join APC.

And the ones in APC would be shocked.

U don't fight people's war until Russians make a silly mistake by hitting a wrong target,then the real war will start.

OlujobaSamuel:
Thanks. Just seeing this. Thought you were referring to the recent electoral bill that was passed

I say what I know and facts and with my fact I simply will not argue with anybody here....after all,we are here to learn.

I have never written anything I don't know on this thread,I say it because I must have dug the true facts out before I let it out.

OlujobaSamuel:
Thanks. Just seeing this. Thought you were referring to the recent electoral bill that was passed

My problem with u guys here is that,u guys argue even when the facts are presented to you.

Shame on u.

Read and stop this your stupid argument.
My boss in the office is a civil servant and he is a member of the APC and he is contesting for governorship position in his state.

Because he knows the law and he is following it the way it should constitutionally.

OlujobaSamuel:
Kindly do well to post such info here.
The latest info you are referring to is political appointees not civil servants.
Civil servants are governed by civil service rules

*Civil Servants Can Participate In Politics – Constitution, Supreme Court, Lawyers*

By Funsho Jegede

The argument against civil servants’ participation in politics is already invalidated by constitutional interpretation delivered by the Supreme Court in 2018, stakeholders and lawyers have clarified.
The clarification is coming against the background of alleged involvement of some civil servants in politics, an apparent attack from fellow contestants who are possibly afraid of the strengths and connections of such civil service personnel.

Previous reports have however copiously shown that the civil service regulation which barred civil servants from participating in politics is against constitutional right of this group of Nigerians as guarranteed by the constitution. The Supreme Court ruling has therefore nullified that public service regulations or any other regulations that purported to take away that constitutional rights.
A January 2018 Supreme Court judgement ruled that civil servants could be members of political parties of their choice as provided for in the 1999 Constitution. The Supreme Court ruling was part of its clarification of the November 8, 2002 judgement in which it nullified most of the guidelines issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on registration of new political associations.
“The constitution of the country is very clear about this. Only if you are contesting in a general election that you are mandated to resign from service 30 days to the general elections, that is all; and I can serve you with judgements upon judgements of the Supreme Court about this. Even the APC guidelines allow you to contest primaries and go back to your work,” a person affected by the development noted.
This issue came up for consideration in the Supreme Court case of the INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC) and ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION VS ALHAJI ABDULKADIR BALARABE MUSA, ALHAJI KALLI ALGAZALI & 3 OTHERS. SUIT NO:SC.228/2002.
In that case, the supremacy of the Constitution against any other law or regulations, was upheld. In concurring with the judgement of his learned brother Ayoola, JSC, and in response to the INEC counsel objection to the Civil or public Servant Membership of a political party, Justice M.L. Uwais, CJN, as he than was, stated the following ”
The civil( public) Service rules place some restrictions on public office holders including civil servants, with regard to participation in politics or political activities. For instance the current Federal Government civil (public) Service rules provide in rules 04421 and 04422 as follows :- 04421. No officer shall without express permission of the Government, whether on duty or leave of absence:
(a) hold any office, paid or unpaid, permanent or temporary, in any political organisation
(b) offer himself or nominate anyone else as a candidate for any elective office including membership of a Local Government Council, State or National Assembly
(C) engage in canvassing in support of a political candidates. Nothing in this rule shall be deemed to prevent an officer from voting in an election.
Rule 04422. Resignation necessary before seeking elective public office. Howbeit, any officer wishing to engage in partisan political activities or seek elective public office shall resign his appointment forthwith”. Justice Uwais went on to say ” the civil (public)service rules are not legislation per se as provided by the constitution nor subsidiary legislation, as they are not made under any enabling Act or law.
These limitations are emphasised by rule 01001 of the rules which provides in respect of some categories of some public office holders that these rules only apply to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in so far as their conditions of Service and any other law applicable to these officers are concerned”.
His Lordship continue by quoting section 40 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 which provides that every person shall be entitled to assemble freely and associate with other persons and in particular he may form or belong to any political party, trade union or any other association for the protection of his interests. In his lucid characteristics, Justice Uwais than concluded that ” the provisions of section 40 of the 1999 constitution are clear. Their import is to allow ” every person” including public office holders and civil servants, the freedom to assemble freely and associate with other persons to form or belong to any political party, or trade union or any association for the protection of his interests.
The section has made no exception and there is no proviso therein limiting its application to civil servants or public officers. Since section 40 of the 1999 constitution has specifically allowed every person the right to assemble and associate with any other persons in order to inter alia form or belong to any political party for the protection of his interests” any law or regulation to the contrary is inconsistent wih the provision of the constitution.
Therefore based on the above case law, civil or public servants are allowed to participate in political activities including belonging to a political party under the provisions of section 40 of the 1999 Constitution.”
Meanwhile, Daily Trust had also reported that lawyers said no law expressly forbids civil servants from participating in politics provided they resign their office 30 days before contesting for an elective position.
The lawyers said the provisions of sections 66 (1); 107 (1) (f); 137 (1) (g); 142(2); 182 and 187(2) of the 1999 Constitution are consistent that an individual in public service must resign their position 30 days to an election for all the various positions such as: Senate, House of Representatives, House of Assembly, Governor and Deputy Governor, President and Vice President.
In his view, Ahmed Raji (SAN) said the Supreme Court had pronounced on the matter that every Nigerian, including civil servants, can associate freely in political parties.
“They can retain their position as candidates but before the election they must resign, that is what the constitution says,” he said.
Also, former Attorney General of Ekiti State, Dayo Akinlaja (SAN) said no law bars civil servants from belonging to political parties and participating in political activities.
“Interestingly enough, when I was Attorney General, I had to give an advice about it that there is no such law,” he said.
“Take for instance that the constitution says that if anybody wants to contest for an election, the person has to resign from office within a given period of time. So that to my mind suggests that the law envisages that the person must have been participating in politics one way or the other while in office. So, it is only when the person now wishes to contest that the law would require him or her to resign,” he added.
Citing Section 222 of the Constitution, Hamid Ajibola Jimoh Esq. said it is the right of every Nigerian, including civil servants, to belong to political parties except those exempted by nature of their work

OlujobaSamuel:
This isn't true, you are not allowed to have any political affiliation. People are doing it just because they are frolicking with the interest (party or individual) in power, if a different interest should emerged, just know that you are on your way out.

That means u are not intune with latest information, may be u are among those who are still operating in the past.

Your black market salary is 570k, what then are waiting for my brother?


Pls,be fast.

OlujobaSamuel:
Hmmmmmmmm, except farming (livestock and crops), stocks and shares, you are not legally allowed to engage in any business, however, so many are doing it, just pray you don't enter the bad book of those wey get power pass you for work.

U can join politics and participate actively and the only condition is,when u are contesting an elective office,u should and must resign your present appointment before contesting any office.

If u doubt what I wrote,u can make your own research.

James4bright:
South Africa is way more peaceful than Brazil. Brazil has the worst kind of gun violence, gangs everywhere waiting to rip someone's throat off.

And the poverty is extreme in Brazil too. I'm not even sure the OP is even in Brazil, he's just a blogger or travel agent. He should post a picture of himself in brazil, all his pictures are internet pictures.

Don't allow anyone deceive you oh. Brazil is worst.

If u add Nigeria and South Africa together...we are still not richer than Brazil. That is the biggest economy in South America the 12th biggest in the world with a shocking GDP of $1.44 trillion.

What this means is that,we would have to add the entire Africa GDP in order to be on this same page with them. Brazil has the biggest beef market in the world,the biggest oil market,biggest sport academy,biggest carnival in the world,biggest media in the entire Latin America and crime is another just like Bokoharam that is confined to Bornu state same way theirs are confined to localised areas of the country.

Brazil,no doubt is a beautiful country and that is why their citizens always go back to their country after their sojourn in sport to their country. Un like Nigeria,where many of our ex footballers are living in Europe example,is Amunike and Family live in Spain,Oliseh the same but 98% of Brazilians footballers usually return to their country because of the love of the most cherished mother land.

Abuja is one of the cities that houses more lazy men in the country than any other.

I think say name dey follow person...this one na wisdom yet him no get sense.

U can't make money with this mindset...

First of all,u have to sit down and evaluate your life and see if u are doing the right thing if not,there is no way out.

Anger or regret will take you no where except u are open minded,learn with plan in mind.

chikeorji123:
I plan for 1year..then proceed to next..

How have u fared with your one year plan,hope its moving fine with u ?

Senomi:
That guy na deranged, frustrated and hungry man wey go prefer to lick abroad toilet than accept a 5million naira job

Thank u my brother.

psucc:
You get job offer( forget how much is involved), the offer alone is enough for you to move on.

If you like, get N2m monthly here it is not worth it.

This abroad mentality is killing u guys.
Shey them say,heaven help those who help themselves.

nairacountry:
Same (rhetorical) questions I've been asking myself over and over again. So sad

They just formed a phoney company and used it to steal from people and even have the guts to write through a lawyer to justify their evil.

U see why as a lawyer,not all cases u should take to defend people for,because the evil u defend will come against u and your family and tomorrow u will ask to know why things are against u.

Hassanmaye:
Are you sure America there is organ harvesting

Are u sure or they are number one culprit in this business.

Agboconsult1:

U can open account with and starts funding the account immediately or u can as well visit their office.

kneehighbootz:
How does organ harvesting relate to his desire to travel abroad?
I'm sure you'll say you're "educated". Na wa ooo, lmao!!!

U are mumu...
Someone that mentioned ritual killings. I think u need to re-examined your reading faculty. I am sure u think u are brainy but surprisingly,u are a fool in disguise
and u should have known better.

Na only u dey face insecurity for Nigeria?

If that is your only reason,u need to read more about organ harvesting countries.

America and most developed countries are no exception to this.

Face your business and grow in what u do.

Hmm...Nigerian people! stealing from your brothers.

What kind of situation is this now?

Person no go invest and sleep again?

Who cursed this country?

Is it that nothing works here anymore?

Nawah !

THANK U FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL ADVICE.
