SIRTee15:
Their bad leaders didn't send soldiers to kill innocent protesters...
They are way too smart n loyal for that.
But your Tinubu and clueless sanwoolu allowed the bloodshed of innocent souls in Yorubaland.
So whose house and properties should be burnt....

We do not need to do this, we currently need ourselves to weather these storms.

Imagine how southern youths are being sponsored to preach the message of hate and disunity.

Both Nnamdi Kanu and Adeyinka Godson are sick and deserve an urgent psychiatric attention.

The funny thing is that the two fools don't live in Nigeria but they are busy speaking words that can put the southern Nigeria in jeopardy.

This is the time for us to decide our future!

The house that divides against it self shall never stand.

ivolt:
Zainab has not killed nor contributed to the dead of one person. But Yesufu instigated violence that has claimed tens of lives and the destructions of billions of property. One is definitely more dangerous than the other.

You better change your way because you might not die well

flokii:
This is not time for tribalism but you left all your bad leaders to start chasing leaders of other tribes.. Let us hear Tinubu from any bastard's mouth again..

Serpents!

Please select your fight with wisdom.

Abass, your Cows are about to run away, go and gather them now before Alhaji will send you to jail.

May all their Evil plans against Baba Buhari and Nigeria return back to senders.This south/eastern Nigerians must be joking,were they expecting baba buhari to tender his resignation during the speech? mtchewww.#endsars#endpolicebrutality#reformthepolice#endinternetfraudsters#endprostitution#endarmrobbery#endkidnapping#enddrugandchildtrafficking#

May your life be handled the way buhari handles Nigeria. Amen.

It amazes me how the Southerners are being divided on the line of tribalism and religious diffrences in this critical time when everyone is expected to unite against the common enemies.

As announced by some socio-cultural organisations, there are thick plots to pitch the Southerners against one another particularly the Yorubas and the Igbos. E-warriors have been empowered to create hate topics and make inciting comments to fuel the division. I know there are several issues to be settled in the South but this is not the time to exhibit folly before the enemies. Some youths from East, West and N/D are being used to preach the sermon of hate among the Southerners but one thing that I know is that there are rewards for saboteurs.

Hear this, if you are from the South and you allow yourself to be used by the enemies, "it will never be well with you"

Please let all these I'm Yoruba, Igbo, Niger Delta etc madness stop immediately and face the issues at hand.

Industrial Court declares 25 percent lump-sum payment to retiree above 50yrs by Pension Administrator unlawful



Abuja---His Lordship, Hon. Justice Oyebiola Oyewumi of the National Industrial Court, Abuja Judicial Division has declared that retiree Mr. Maroof Giwa is entitled to at least 50% lump sum of his pension considering his age, and the life expectancy of male Nigerian as projected by WHO, ordered Arm Pension Managers to pay within 14 days.



The Court held that 25% lump sum calculated by the Arm Pension Managers as claimant’s pension is unlawful that the said withdrawal as clearly stated in the Pension Reform Act is in respect of a retiree who voluntarily retired at age 50 and not applicable to Maroof.



From facts, the claimant- Maroof Giwa had submitted that he approached Arm Pension Managers to apply for pension and withdrawal benefits but the PFA offered to pay 25% of his total retirement savings which he rejected and demanded 50% of the total sum.



The claimant claimed that the computation of the lump sum/benefits by the defendant done on the basis 25% not known to the law that he cannot be treated like a retiree who retired voluntarily that he’s 60 years and above and would want to withdraw 50% or 75% of his total pension.



In defence, the 1st defendant- Arm Pension Managers submitted that claimant has no right and his statement of fact discloses no reasonable cause of action against it, averred that the claimant is not entitled to any claims.



Learned 1st defendant’s counsel M. Abdulraheem Esq submitted that the template as provided by the 2nd defendant-National Pensions Commission only guarantees a minimum 25% lump sum payable and receiving a higher percentage lump sum (to the maximum of 50%) is dependent on several variables.



He submitted that to allow the claimant argument as per his claims will amount to tinkering with an Act of the National Assembly and it will allow not only the claimant but any other RSA holder determine what should be paid to him or her thereby usurping the powers of the 2nd defendant as stipulated by law that the withdrawal of lump sum is an option predicated on the condition that the residue in the RSA would be sufficient to procure funds withdrawals or annuity.



National Pensions Commission Counsel E.O Awa Esq. with C.C Odega Esq. argued that the Act did not make provision for a lump sum of 50%, 65%, 75% or 25% except 25% lump sum on request to any employee that retires before the age of 50 years or disengages from employment.



Delivering Judgment, the presiding Judge, Hon. Justice Oyewumi held that the age category of the claimant 60 years and above was not in the contemplation of Section 7(2) of the Act that specifically made provision for a 50-year-old retiree to withdraw 25% lump sum.



“This in view of the unambiguous provision of Section 7(1) of the Act, which entitles the claimant to utilize the amount credited to his RSA account by the withdrawal of a lump sum from the total amount credited to his account. The only proviso here is that the balance after the withdrawal of the lump sum shall be enough to procure annuity for life for the retiree.



“A community reading of Section 173 of the Constitution, Section 7(1) of the Act as well as clauses 4.0 and 5.1.1 of the regulation, clearly evinces that there is no specific amount or percentage stipulated as a lump sum that a retiree of claimant’s age(60 years and above) can withdraw.



“Secondly, the amount to be withdrawn by a retiree of claimant’s age is to be calculated in view of his life expectancy, his right to his pension shall not be altered or withheld to his disadvantage and finally the quarterly withdrawal has to be at his discretion, i.e. he has to opt for it and not at the whims and caprices of the 1st defendant to determine what and how he could withdraw same.



“The W.H.O in 2018, puts the life expectancy of a male Nigerian at 54.7 years, which is approximate to 55 years. This said, the claimant, in this case, has lived beyond the projection of W.H.O. of a life expectancy of a male Nigerian. This in my view displays the inadequacy of man and human frailty, in other words, no one can actually determine when a man will die, except his maker.

As a woman, if you ever want to have a good marriage, you must be selective in what you listen to illreapective of who is saying it.

The society is confused.

Most of the comments I'm reading here are so worrisome and unfortunate.

@funmilehot , if you follow some of the devilish advise you have here, your home might be at stake.

Your husband might have his issues but you are the one wearing the shoe, so be the judge on how to manage the itchy areas.

Best of luck.

Any guy or lady that is mean to less privileged people is a wicked soul pretending to be nice. S/he will likewise be mean to you or any member of your family if you/they become less privileged.

They are always full of bitterness but can pretend for Africa.

Forget the blind love you are currently possessed with, open your eyes and see clearly. Ask yourself, would you be able to cope with a hot-tempered and crazily jealous wife?

If your answer is NO, please do the needful now before you will later come and seek for advise on Nairaland.

Ubongdemaga:
What is the difference between soul and spirit?

Let me explain this using your phone as an instance:

Your phone is made up of the physical hardware, softwares and energy that powers the phone.

Your body is like the physical appearance of your gadget ( the shape, size, colour etc)

Your Soul is like the Operating System (OS) on your gadget that aid it to function and accommodate every other softwares. "Other softwares" installed on your OS can be compared to your though, characters, believes, perceptions, attitudes, godliness, sin, evils, knowledge, wisdom etc). You will agree with me that the moment the OS get corrupt or stop functioning properly, though the gadget might still be powering but it is termed useless because it cannot fulfil it purpose of creation. That is the similar things that happens to mad people you see around. Your Soul is the real you in the spiritual world. That's why every spiritual attack is targeted towards a man's soul. Because people do not understand the difference, they use the word spirit in place of soul. That's why the bible said " the soul that sinneth, shall die" Ezekiel 18:20. The Soul shall face the judgement!

Your Spirit can be likened to the energy that helps to power the gadget. Yes you might have something called the battery (heart), but the main thing that keeps that gadget alive is the energy that is derived from the battery which you cannot see with your mere eyes. The spirit is just to keep you alive so that your soul can function through the body. That's why everyone's spirit goes back to the owner (GOD) whether it is of the sinners or of the righteous. Gen.2:7, Ecc 12:7.

That Organisation is TOXIC, I will advise you to run for your life.

Such is life

AhoadaRivers:
yoruba don go edit wikipedia give themselves fake population.

US and British records that put Ibos ahead of your tribe in population cannot be wrong.

Why are you people always suspecious of others?

How is it possible for me or anyone to tamper Wikipedia's record?

Let me inform you that before you can edit any article on Wikipedia, you first need to submit why you think the record is wrong with enough evidence. Thereafter, your record will be adequately verified before any update can be made.

I'm not after Igbo or Yoruba but I do not cherish misinformation.

Before you make another comment full of hate, first do an adequate research and not gossip.

Much love !

Please do not be misinformed, here is the breakdown of major ethnic groups in Africa, their locations and populations according to Wikipedia.

Unlike you, I have significant things to do than fabricating lies on every social media platforms.

Manners can be very scarse in today's society.

If you are not fortunate to have any, it becomes obvious in public places.

bukatyne:
I will lift what I just wrote in the other thread directed to men in response to someone:

Honestly, there is a war against marriages.

How spouses would be more tender to bosses, subordinates, friends, random people, neighbors, colleagues, classmates than themselves is worrisome.

When it comes to their spouse, 'I won't take it, I can't do it, I can't compromise a little, it is my way or no way'...

'I, I, I, I' and yet will place on their CV as 'team players; ability to negotiate; ability to work under pressure' bla bla.

Practice these skills at home.

More wisdom for you.

This is the kind of undiluted message that the world need to heal. It's unfortunate that most elders and religious leaders lacks what it takes to guide the young one (a blind can not lead a fellow blind without a fall).

If we learn how to tolerate
Ask necessary questions
Stop assuming
Stop being judgemental
Listen and reason with our partners
Work to plan for the children and tomorrow
Ready to make sacrifices
Stop comparison game
Listen less to unfriendly friends advise
Stop making social media hype a standard
Learn to spend time with family
Learn to manage available resources
Stop fantasy and unreasonable wishes
Above all, pray to God over any unfriendly situations

Before you know it, there will be a peaceful and loving family and society will be better.

Stargurl20:
Sorry members, this will be little lenghty.
An older lady who's more like friend to me, narratted what her husband to be did to her yesterday.
Her would be husband who's far older, I guess. Went to where she stays at Aba or so... With her families, to seek her hands in marriage. This man hasn't paid her price yet... But requested her to come know where he stays in Lagos around February this year. Note: this lady has a female child of ten - year - old..., Which the would be husband isn't oblivious of.
She came to Lagos, and despite all the promises this man made to get her a job as soon as she gets to Lagos, he failed his promises and didn't allow her work, giving flimsy excuses that he doesn't want men to snatch her from him.
Recently, this man travelled to his hometown under the pretext of going to complete his house at his village. But, he actually went there to marry another wife even when he hasn't paid the would be wife he deceived to Lagos price. The lady has been receiving several calls from people that the husband is getting married to another lady but she trusted the man blindly, until one of the man's intimate friends opened up to her that he couldn't keep this from her because despite how his friend sings praises of this lady on her culinary skills and how she keeps his house clean and take care of him, he still went ahead.
This lady has no one in lagos. - no families or friends except this cruel man.
Plus, she got pregnant before the man went, but had miscarriage and has informed the man.
All these things makes me keep wondering if there are really good men left on this planet - earth.
This lady is really nice and well behaved that my mom's spirit works with here and she likes her.
She seats at my mom's shop and we chit chat with my mom's apprentice. Now she's changed to a drunk. I've tried convincing her that drinking isn't the solution, but she's just not convinced. I wish there's something I can do to help her

Go and find out the complete story and come back to update us.

Jullima:
Have you guys checked with a fertility doctor, who’s infertile? Also, this is 2020, he doesn’t have to actually have sex with the woman. He can do an artificial insemination right there in a Doctor’s office.

Also, do you guys think another woman will just willingly give up her kid? Unfortunately, to have children the right way, you have to spend some money for procedures/compensation.

If you really don’t want to go back to your husband, then it doesn’t matter what he wants. There is a legal period of separation that will grant you the divorce. As for the new man

Why are you ladies always encouraging other women to fail like you?

If your blood sister were to be in her shoe, would you have advised her to settle for divorce?

Pray to God to help you secure a good relationship, then you will understand the true meaning and power of love

Don't blame her, sadness and depression everywhere.

When they fall into the wrong hand, they claim feminism. When they are fortunate to have a good relationship, they announce their love life.

Why fight what you cannot help, just pray to God to help you.

QED

UjuJoan2:
Why are men of these days so lazy and dependent on women? I just dont get it.

So if his wife buys him a car he will drive it happily? What about pride? Chivalry? What about self dignity?

That aside, do you know the bond between the lady and her mother? So because he gave her a ring, he thinks he is now more important than her own mother? What has he done to earn such privilege?

Lazy men everywhere looking to live off their wives. If your friend cannot keep trekking let him buy himself a car, simple!

The fact that you are not fortunate to have a working/happy relationship does not mean that all women should be unhappy like you.

Always read your messages before you post them, they do not speak well of your person.

No one is fighting a gender battle, if it favours you, be happy. If not, pray to God to help you.

Love/marriage is beautiful, forget all the nonsense that people write on NL

Fabulouzjoseph:
wow
so if you were put in place of the enugu governor will you perform better than the him?

You are one of the reasons why Nigeria remains unproductive.

OP is expressing his concern and someone there was saying he is not from Enugu.

When has been from Enugu stop one from speaking the truth to this madam governor who tagged himself gburugburu. All the major roads are bad but his pictures and bill boards are painting the town black.

There are more gburugburu's pictures in Enugu than the total number of roads,schools, hospitals, industries and other facilities.

Sonoyom:
This people would not criticise leaders from their region, they like exporting their Sophistication to other regions.

Maybe because they do not have this type of mad leader in their region

Great mother!

Danielhouston:
I don’t understand. You want to get a job with a 6 month visit visa? That is not possible. You cannot work with a visit visa and nobody will hire you. There’s no manipulation in regards to that. Only if you intend to apply for Asylum, then you’d have to tell them why you need Asylum.

I have not lived in Canada. I have only visited. So I cannot give a genuine opinion about life in Canada as it compares to Germany. I can definitely tell you that Canadians are helplessly polite and say “sorry” every minute. Canada is also cleaner. Germany seems to be safer and richer. They both have good health care system. Only barrier would be language in Germany. Otherwise, I would say it’s a safe haven

OP,

It seems you are not aware of a 6 months visa arrangement from German governement with the intention of attracting workers all over the world to work in Germany.

This is how it works :

After meeting necessary requirements as stated on their immigration website, you apply for the months work visa But you must have blockchained €4500 which represents the resources required to takecare of yourself in Germany while looking for the work. The money is calculated at a monthly upkeep expenses of €750 per month.

If you are able to secure a job within the 6months, you can apply for work parmit and start your life in Germany from there.

This law had been for some years now but recently reviewed (March 2020) to accommodate unskilled labours.
