Poorly reported news.

That portion of the pension funds, by law, has to be invested in government bonds and TB. It wasn't borrowed by the government per se.

It is just like reporting that banks have borrowed all your money to do business when indeed, you have deposited it with them for the purpose of earning an interest.

Critics won't see this.

MFM gives out cars annually to first class graduates and so many scholarships for undergraduates and to the less privileged to encourage hardwork.

OkaiCorne:


Are you paying tithes the way God instructed?

Can you show me where God said tithes should be paid monetarily?

You can see how funny it is pouring old wine in new wineskin.

Use the scriptures to validate the fact that God instructed Tithes to be paid monetarily...or keep on preaching a false doctrine in disobedience.

Are you against tithing in its entirety or just against monetary tithing?

bukatyne:


@Statsocial,

I like facts.

Agreed he is not that wealthy as the whole Winners Corporation was valued, as you saying he lives solely on people's gifts?

That would be commendable.

I also hope that those people equally reach out to the poor amongst them.

You, hope you reach out to the poor in your vicinity

Do you expect to get free money from the church?

C'mon man, make a living for yourself...there are so many opportunities around you to tap into.

Perfect draws but some how done to favour host country.

Seconded.

Understand that it is a responsibility to take care of them but not an obligation ie, it is necessary but not compulsory.

If you were a man, it would have been worse cos it will deter you from having your own family and when you eventually do, your parents will see your wife as a pest forgetting that you have an obligation to take care of your family first.

You being a lady too, you should be firm with your decisions and not allow your parents manipulate you...they really should not have a say on your finances.

Is not all about grade, but all about you.

I graduated with 2:2 and by the grace of God I'm earning more than first class.
Just prepare yourself for the labour market, don't give up and pray.
God will bless our hustle.

Congratulations on your 2:2.
It is not about how much you earn too but all about you.

Imagine this guy was a Christian and he paid tithe from the money. The pastor go just dey vibrate like say he get epilepsy.

From which money?

You think he has his net worth in cash and cash equivalent?

That's what a civilized person would do. Animals should have the right to live just as we humans.

Animals should have rights too but not just as we humans.

By the way, somehow, you're part of those who don't respect animal rights if you eat meat, fish or eggs.

Well, for me; Parents over girlfriend but wife over parents.
I can't imagine my dad taking care of my grandmum first before my mum.

Dirkcoyt:


who told you oduduwa is from Benin? if you don't know history stop distorting existing one! I hate the fact you keep alluding to the Benin baseless izoduwa claim which is the work of revisionist! Benin have been trying to claim every part Of southern Nigeria with unfound rhetoric.

Bini cannot lay claim to Southern Nigeria and they know it.


By the way, where is Oduduwa from?

onyinyenwadigbo:


Are you now countering the age long history that Oduduwa is the progenitor of Yoruba tribe? That's confusing.

There has definitely been Yoruba people before Oduduwa.

If your 'progenitor' means ancestor, I'm not countering... but if by progenitor, you mean he was the first 'Yoruba man,' yes, I'm countering it.

superstar1:

Bini bawo?

Do you see me tying wrapper like a woman.

I am from the warring tribe of the Yorubas with the warrior genes of Oduduwa.

We're on the same page then.

superstar1:


Another revisionist at work!!!

Finally you guys are agreeing that your throne belongs to us.

We have no relationship with your Ogiso or whatever they are bearing.

Go and look for your lost son in the midst of the Igbos or Ijaws

Who are the 'us?'

Are you one of the dishonest binis on Nairaland always trying to distort history?

ritababe:


he was the first to rule, before him Yoruba had no king, why do you think till today they still honor him like a god?


its not subservient even your Ooni has clerified that.

Yoruba's honour Oduduwa because he was their first king and he came at a time their Oracles told them someone powerful is coming to their territory to rule them...they rightly identified Oduduwa when he came and made him king.

Before him, the Yoruba's just had mainly Baales and Baloguns.
They had other smaller kings too in other sub territories (like the Ugbo in Ondo state) but they had limited powers. Oduduwa was the first general king.


As for the bold, kindly provide a reference to what you claim the Ooni has clarified.


As it stands, the throne of the Ooni is superior to and older than that of the Oba of Bini, the Oba of Bini is a descendant of the Ooni.

However, the throne of the Ooni was from the Ogiso of Bini (the rulers in Binis first dynasty) which is no longer in existence... the banishment of Oduduwa caused the shift in power. Now, Bini has Oba, not Ogiso.

The article is faulty.

The original inhabitants of Lagos are the Eguns, Aworis and some other smaller Yoruba communities.

The Bini only came to rule at some point and left hence the reason you'll find Bini related names and history in Lagos. Even the Binis know that they cannot lay claim to Lagos.


Just like Nigeria, they had inhabitants before the Arabs then British came to rule at some point and left. That's why you'll find British history and names in many parts of Nigeria especially in Lagos. The reality is that they do not own Nigeria.

ritababe:

so you agreed that Yoruba is part of Bini?

No, I agree that Yorubas had a king that came from Bini.
Oduduwa wasn't the first 'Yoruba' man.

Do you agree the Bini throne is subservient to the Ooni's throne?
if you disagree, kindly state your reason(s).

ritababe:


yes yoruba are owned by Bini, if u want to argue let's do it without insult and with facts.

Oduduwa your first Yoruba king migrated from bini

Yes, I agree.
What's the big deal if he migrated from Bini?
Nigeria's first rulers were not Nigerians too.


He was a Bini outcast but he became the Ooni and married a Yoruba queen...that's why all Bini kings are subservient to the throne of the Ooni of Ife.

Actually I have lost my phone to these set of people before, but I still say that if the system was not a hideously corrupt one where the elite steal our Commonwealth so brazenly and we the sheep applaud them, these little boys would not be on the street stealing petty things for survival

What are you saying?
Their mates are out there making a living, you're here giving these lazy ones flimsy excuses!


Seems you've never been robbed by these riff raffs before!
You're only pretending you've been, I really hope you lose something valuable to you to people like these soon...then you'll know how it feels and you'll stop giving excuses for crime.

itsmeurLady:


We do... Thanks for the tip!

You're welcome.

You may call my attention if you need any assistance/advice/material at any stage in the process.

I wish you success.

itsmeurLady:


Ok thanks will submit my application tomorrow.... thank you and do u advise I upload my call up letter since I'm almost done with youth service (on the 3rd day of next month) . I don't want what happened to me in Coca Cola Hellenic to happen to me now- ditching me Cs I didn't hav an NYSC certificate yet

Yes, upload it if it's part of the requirements, you won't be disqualified for being in service.
Try as much as possible to be at your best at every stage of the application and recruitment process too.

By the way, I never knew your stream had a POP date already.

itsmeurLady:
Please I'm a biochemist and I'm thinking I should go for the forensic job or the Graduate trainee job... passing out by Nov 3 from my Youth Service Program, Advice pls

Sure, you can go ahead.

For the graduate trainee, have it in mind you'll still being one of the three main divisions in the firm - Audit, Tax or Advisory.

Also, be ready to forgo your course of study because you'll eventually practise as an Accountant and may NEVER practise as a biochemist again.

CFA!

You'd become a highly-sought after banker after just passing Level 2 of the exams.

Are you really advising a newbie to start with CFA?

Seriously?

Jarus:


Without professional qualification in accounting at least, no serious employer takes an accountant seriously.

He doesnt have any edge in accounting job over an Agric graduate that has accounting professional qualification.

An accounting graduate without professional qualifications (and not writing one) can only get accounting job in government company or tier two companies.

However, if it is not accounting job, he would be considered for general jobs (non-course specific, general graduate jobs, under-26) like a graduate of say Sociology or Political science in banks, Big 4, and other general recruiters.

Even if he gets a Big 4 job, he has to enrol for ACCA/ICAN if he is posted to Tax or Assurance/Audit. Same process a Sociology graduate that got a Big 4 Tax/Audit job will go through.

So why "waste" 4 years when someone that studied Economics and and wrote ICAN/ACCA in less than 2 years will get same job in your field, and on top of that, still available for jobs in his own field.

Your point suggests that there are more opportunities in Accounting than Economics...by the way, what are the opportunities for an Economics graduate an accounting graduate isn't eligible for?

If you observe closely, those non accounting graduates that practice as accountants via ICAN/ACCA hardly return to their core field to practice, not that they can't, they just hardly do.

Jarus:

Without professional qualification in accounting at least, no serious employer takes an accountant seriously for accounting roles.

I think it is better put that way.

rhektor:
At least this will curb the excesses of some people, how could just one man be having up to 50 cars and be paying nothing on those cars? How could people build houses and not pay tax on them? And the tax collector will be chasing mama Nkenchi the food vendor and Nnamdi the spare part seller, Bashiru the mechanic and Segun the tailor about? As if it the the poor man that offended the government.
Nonsense

If you look at the case of Nigeria carefully, you'll discover Nigeria is not ready for the full implementation of property tax.

mos4phy:


Thanks for info. So sad about this. Was really hoping for this year. Do you have an idea of any departments under advisory apart from iarcs that might be in need for urgent september recruitment. Thanks again!

If you're really interested in MC, just stick with it and wait for it, it may take time though but it'll be worth it.

TA is also cool but you'll also have to wait (most likely not this year too) but the wait won't as long as MC. Audit, TRPS and IARCS are the departments that recruit frequently, so if you're hoping on getting in soon, you may opt for one of them especially Audit.

...and note that there's no 'September recruitment,' recruitment is all year round and more importantly, based on need.

Acidosis:
lol, see my area oo

The demolition going on there is massive.. I really hope the Governor would do something about that road as quick as possible. It is not enough to pull down buildings, construct the terrible road and compensate the affected. If this demolition ever extends to Ajuwon or Akute, it will take massive rigging for APC to win any election again in Ogun state. Over 4 churches and mosques have been pulled down already.. By the time Amosun extends this to Akute and Ajuwon, UBA, FCMB, Sterling, FirstBank and some of the best schools around should get ready to count their losses..

The route of that road doesn't go through Ajuwon.

The road is for the greater good of the populace; if the road can be substantially completed within the next 24months (or before the next election), APC will 100% continue.

BornnAgainChild:
Demolition based on what grounds...better get a lawyer

Demolition based on road construction.

He can only sue for compensation which he may not win anyway, that building is just one of the hundreds marked for demolition, he knows that.

iamawara:


HON. Batch B stream I will do their camp this 2017, nothing will take it to 2018 sir. Quote me back when the time table is out.

I'm not against what you've said bro.

My point is just that Batch B17 will only go to camp after the POP of Batch B16 (stream 1&2).

Mind you, camp date (POP date) is not usually on the time table (since 2015 or 2016). Get your facts right.
It is better for people going in Batch B17 to hope on next year and maximize this period they have than for them to hope on this year and get disappointed.
