MRBrownJ: and companies makes BIGGER profit when workers are motivated (by their boss) to do an even better job... therefore, their HARDWORK and LOYALTY must be rewarded proportionately. 3-5% is appropriate, 15-20% is generous. just because Nigeria is filled with useless good for nothing bosses, does NOT make this boss "extraordinary". The best reward for hardwork and loyalty is what you do towards enhancing your financial indepence and not having an entitlement expectation from a supposed boss. What my boss owes me is my agreed salary as the economy and industry dictates, rather than hoping and praying for a father figure boss to give me a chunk from the big pie, what smart and entrepreneurial employees do is how to own part of the pie. And I think this is more enduring. The big boss did very well and he should be commended, because he is not obliged to do what he did. I hope he is educating his workers on financial literacy and investments. |

MRBrownJ: do you actually think that giving back (to the employees) 3% of the profit made that year, is being "generous"?! when many companies out there are giving up to 10-15% back to their workforce?
why would you compare the actions of this HIGHLY profitable private company, with that of the ones who are closing shops?! its not called a REWARD for nothing. such bonus MOTIVATE staff and their loyalty to the company. so companies who make the numbers (at the end of the fiscal yr) stay in business, those who dont.... oh well!
let us not forget that HILCORP is the largest privately held oil and gas producer in the US. The guy should be commended, employees earn salarie, landlords earn rents, investors earn dividends from the profits, bussinesses and businessmen earn profits. The employees should be encouraged to buy shares of this great company if they want to eat a bigger chunk of company's profit rather than the 3% given to them by their boss. Their boss is an extraordinary boss and his 1400 workers know that he is one in a million |

Chibuking81: one of my stockbroker sent message to inform me that they will close on 18 December 2015 been next tomorrow and to resume on 4th January 2016, for Xmas and new year celebration. I believe other stockbrokers may close on the same date with them, and resume also on the same date with them. Your broker is lazy or may be he does not get big businesses, the stock exchange will be open for busines on weekdays except on 25th and 26th December 2015, and 1st January 2016. |

MRBrownJ: that boss had already REWARDED these same employees the previous years $35K each (or $50K down payment on a car), when the company did good. as any boss would know that if your employees are happy and believe in the company, then they will work better. so such reward system helps the company in the long run.
your way of thinking is the reason why so many 9ja companies have no clue AND are filled with employees who dont give a damn about the boss nor the company itself. What he meant was that the tycoon should commended for his generosity, because what he did was not in the workers' employment contract. I just hope the workers will not develop entitlement mentality and they believe what their boss did is their own right. |

Kgdavid: a cursory glance at those figures should have told you that 100, 000.00 by 1, 400 is 1.4 billion, a clean 25% of what you claim he made. Your point again?? It is $140 million and about 2.5% of what he made. |

dominique: Even with that, his generosity is massive. Not all bosses will go all out and give such huge amounts to their employees after recording a huge profit margin.
The average Nigerian boss will never do this  Dokpesi will never do that, he chopped alone and he is dying alone. I hope his workers have been paid their october salary. |

No encouragement @all Sorry about that, the easiest way to get a smile is by smile at people you see or meet. Do you have friends in the church? Have you tried to make friends in the church? How many sick people have you visited in the church? Even if you visited your friends when they were sick, but they refused to visit you now that you are sick, the best thing to do in that case is " to look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith". |

We have new churches that are founded by Pastors who are 30 years and 100% of the congregation are students and young people of less than 35 years, considering the demography of this type of a church, is it possible to have congregation members who have children that can decide to port. Parents in such a congragation will have children of 5 years and below. |

The problem with many churches and pastors is that they are disconnected from this generation, they don't speak their language, they don't even understand what appeals to this generation and that's why they cannot reach them - Pastor Lanre Oluseye, HOTRphc I left my parents church because of some of the reasons outlined by the Op, but now that am in my mid 40s and more matured I am back to my parents church.

The price of crude oil will remain below $45 for another 4 years. Russia made plans on how to survive sub $40 crude oil price for up to 2022. Low crude oil prices is good for world economy, but is very bad for the economies of Nigeria and other mono product economies that derive 70% of the revenues from crude oil.

manie: I think we should ask at what age should one be able to make a residual income of at least one million Naira on an annual basis. I think 40 to 45 years is okay, if we have a job, and we have a deliberate plan to invest part of our income. Residual income is what you make from interest on your deposit, dividend from stocks, rent from your property, or profit from a business that does not need your presence before it operates. I have a lawyer Uncle who made more than 20 million Naira dividend from his stocks and another 8 million from rent in 2011, and he still has his law practice which is still functional. And the man is not a Senior advocate of Nigeria.Will be 50 years this year. Multiple streams of income and investments are the ways, to get rich and stay rich. |
