All because of big bosoms.

I tell you. Ikebe/chest apple dey turn some of us to original mu-mu o.

Our flag is not honoured because our leaders do not honour the country.

Yes, the perpetrators of the cold killing of their leader should be brought to book. Then, the release of their members is a no no . . . they must undergo judicial judgment as well.

Why? So you don't consider the number of innocent Nigerians massacred by the group before their leader was arrested and send to the world beyond?

I feel Govt is still handling the BH sect members with a kid's glove considering death caused and the total anarchy which they have turned the Nigerian state into.

OP
Your opinion looks uncivilized but I think in this present Nigeria, that is the way to go.

Our leaders break laws with reckless abandon and nothing happens to them. Our judges only punish the common criminals because they are "a nobody". Looting of public funds is now a fashion by our ogas without prosecution.

The police extort money from commuters as if it is legal. Boko Haram kills only the masses. In Jos, it is the masses that bear the brunt of the religious/ethnic strife. Report a case in the police station and you may become the accused if you have no godfather or wherewithal to settle them.
In seeking for job or political office, you must be sponsored by a godfather else forget it. It seems to me that the masses are on their own.

In fact, at times out of frustration I ask myself whether Nigeria is a jungle, where survival is for the fittest. The masses suffer in every way you can imagine while the leaders and their cronies party about in corruption without any check (I don't want to hear of EFCC or ICPC because they are toothless bulldogs).

OP may be in the same position as I am now because I just don't see justice, fair play and sense of belonging as an ordinary citizen any where in Nigeria.

Interesting!!!

Hello All, this Pension system is the best. Imagine yourself having to que to get your pension when you grow old like it was done some few years back. Horrible, it makes me feel sad about growing old.
Jamace, you can't get more than that 25% for now. All workers must seek information about their pension money now while they are still working. At least, you can change your pension manager very soon. I think the law that set up the PFA says that you cannot change your PFA until after they must have operated for either 5 or 10years.
Anyway you guys look at it. This is one of the good things OBJ did while in govt. Everybody MUST start planning for that time when you may not sound rooster as you sound now. That job is only temporary. I always smile to myself when i see some people behave arrogantly when they are given a simple position in the office. Most of them have no plan beyond their next salary. What a life!

Bros, what is best in this scheme? A scheme where you are paid peanuts in the name of gratuity and on top of that your monthly pension is a mockery of payment for service rendered?

After analyzing the scheme, I noticed that the retired worker pays himself pension from his accrued withheld gratuity. I also observed that if the total gratuity merited by a retiree is paid to the retiree at once and he puts it in a fixed deposit, he will get more interest on his capital than what the PFAs offer AND he can still withdraw his initial capital at end of agreement. At the rate this scheme is going most workers may not even live up to old age as High BP caused by lack of money to live and sustain themselves would have killed them.

If I may ask you, how long will the PFAs pay the monthly pension to retirees - 12 years,15 years or untill death? Will the left over capital after payment of 25% or 50% be refunded to retirees at the end of transaction?

OBJ was deceived by some capitalists who saw the loophole in the scheme to exploit workers. I bet you if OBJ had known the intricacies of the scheme, he wouldn't have bought the idea. They are better options to solving the pension issue than the PENCOM scheme. The pay-off option remains the best for the govt. The govt should look at the pay- off option to save the Nigerian workers from PENCOM/PFAs.

Hmnn.

I am yet to get mine since the last time o. I registered but was not given the ID card on the excuse that my data was not properly captured. Whose fault? I was made to register again. Up till now, I have not gotten the ID. It is either come back tomorrow or Abuja has not forwarded the ID yet.

Can Nigeria ever get anything right?

Same issue occurred in Bauchi where an Army General allowed the escape of Boko Haram members detainees. I learnt the General is facing Court Martial in Jos under the 3 Division Nigerian Army now.

Some top shots of our security agencies are seriously making "dough" and "pepper" out of this episode.

seconded!

The Nigerian PENCOM is a fraud. It is not for the benefit of the retired workers who have put in their youthful years to the service of their fatherland.

For instance, I put in about 21 years in service before retiring. My gratuity was N4M+. But I was given only N1M+ (25%) on the ground that I was not up to 50 years or 35 years in service. The painful aspect was that the PENCOM/PFA told me to look for another job since I was young. Should that be their concern when I have not received the full benefit of the work already done? In fact, before I got the money, I was always moving between my base and Abuja for many times in the name of verifications, thereby incurring unnecessary expenses. Also, it was over a year after retirement before I got the money, meaning that I have already incurred some debts.

The problem there is that I have N3M with my PFA while I am barely surviving and can't pay my children's school fees any longer. The worse thing is that I can not enjoy my retirement life as I can not execute my plans. I have become hopeless and full of regrets that I wasted 21 years in the service of my fatherland. I was told by my PFA that once my monthly pension payment drains the remaining balance, my pension will stop. When asked when, they told me in not more than 12 years to come. I then asked them whether my N3M will be refunded at expiration of my pension period and they said NO. What kind of biz will you deposit money that is supposed to be generating interest and at the end of transaction your capital  remains with the biz partner as nonrefundable deposit? And Do you know that you are paid barely 1% of deposit as pension per month? Please confirm.

As far as I'm concerned, the scheme is a fraud, lacks workers welfare and an avenue for some persons in the name of PENCOM/PFA to enjoy the sweat of the workers. If govt can not pay pension for retirees, it should adopt the pay-off system, where a worker is paid off after retirement. A good option is for govt to double the accumulated gratuity and pay off the worker. The present scheme is a killer to workers. Forget the NLC saying it is the best for workers. NLC is saying that because they are on the payroll of PENCOM/PFAs.

Government should change the PENCOM and look at the pay-off option to better the lot of the workers, otherwise the spate of corruption by civil servants will become uncontrollable.

I don't blame the military who has resisted the scheme in its entirety. PENCOM/PFA is a great fraud and an injustice of the highest order to the Nigerian worker.

Obviously, most of the people on this thread are not mature, indiscipline and without both of these there's no way you can succeed in the Trading world. This will be my last post here, you can catch me at Forexfactory where real traders dwell. If you are new to trading and really want to learn, i'll suggest you go to forexfactory too. Imagine getting insulted here just because you're behind a keyboard and a screen.

Please, take it easy. I personally need your contributions on this thread. So, don't go, please.

Action, Middle Belt. Enough of talk talk.

It's obvious the man who delivered the vehicle with many footsteps on the back seat arranged with the criminals to carry out the dastardly act,

But some human beings can be heartless.

Poor man don suffer for Naija judges hand.

I can't applaud this move. If I do, I will be praising violence.

Too bad.

So, Boko Haram uses e-mail too? Na wa o.
