Car TalkRe: My Advise To Anyone Buying A Nigerian Used Car Now by PapaGfad: 9:37am On Sep 28, 2021
officerfudo:
Bought a Nigerian used car with just a friend to help look at it, turned out the car was good, have been driving it around since January and the car dey give me joy. It all comes down to luck as some mechanics can make you waste your money becos of the little money they want to make. Don't blame them too much, we are all living in Buhari's Nigeria.
The real problem with Nigerian used cars are mechanics. They gamble alot. But if you are lucky to have a competent and trustworthy mecks, you are game.

Interestingly, my mech's opinion is that it is expensive to maintain and that anyone using it should have another vehicle. Although, he is a Toyota expert.
He talked about timing belt or chain and how its fault could damage other things with it ....hmmm

But my own observation is that you rarely see the vehicle on the road. Why is that? Or do they use it more in some particular places? I tried throughout today to see if I would even find one despite navigating the 'whole city of Ibadan today', I didn't find any . Why?
InvestmentRe: Pension Versus Annuity: The Best Retirement Plan by PapaGfad: 1:16am On Sep 03, 2021
As a pension consultant myself, I would love to make a contribution to your post on what is omitted. So here I go

Pension like he said is for everyone and infact compulsory for all working class. Be it private, self-employed or public worker, you are meant to have an RSA account. It is just government's way of applying common sense to avoid thousands of unkept elders above 60years of age. Sorry if my description is demeaning but that is the reality.

So, as the main point of my contribution and as far as pension is concerned according to the PRA2014, there are two programmed options for you as a citizen to take when it it time to start receiving pension and they are; PROGRAMMED WITHDRAWAL and ANNUITY. And not pension and annuity as suggested by my colleague. His enthusiasm to offer you the best option probably got the best of him, so, do not crucify him.

It is your right to be duely informed on the two options, and while we will not deny you that, I leave you with these two powerful statement and I hope you make sense of it.

1. The insurance sector today as it is in Nigeria is one of the best and solidly regulated industry in Africa(u can call it an exaggeration) but my point is for as long as the PRA2014 is concerned, regardless of whether you are in annuity or pw, the money in your RSA remains solid.

2. As a consultant, knowing fully well that nothing operated by men is 100% perfect, d shortcomings of pw remains unpromising hence, I will urge you to choose ANNUITY.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.



KINGBEN1:
What's the Difference Between a Pension and an Annuity?

If you don’t have a pension, an annuity can be a great option to generate reliable retirement income.

Long before we had things like smartphones and Instagram, your career typically revolved around a single employer.

You worked for one company for decades and then, when you retired, with little to no action on your part, your company would provide you with a pension — payments that would come regularly for the rest of your life, no matter how long you lived.


Today, outside of government jobs, pensions are about as common as phone booths. If you don’t have a pension, but the idea of getting a regular payments for the rest of your life is appealing, you may want to consider an annuity. Like pensions, annuities also provide income for life, but they don’t work quite the same. So what’s the difference between a pension and an annuity?


WHAT IS A PENSION?
A pension is a retirement plan that’s offered through an employer. Pensions are known in the industry as defined benefit plans.

With a defined contribution plan, the contribution made by the company is defined — perhaps you contribute 8 percent of your salary and your company/government pays 10% of your contribution according to the Nigeria’s PENSIONS Act of 2014. However, when you get to retirement, it’s on you to decide how you’ll generate income with all the money you saved.

With a defined benefit plan, your benefit (how much you’ll get in retirement) is defined. You don’t have to worry about contributions or even how to create the income. Your company will just send you a pay every month.

In addition, many pensions will give you options for structuring your payments so that they continue in some form for your spouse after you pass away. You may also be able to take a single lump sum payment from your pension and use the money however you see fit. However, that means you’ll be responsible for generating your income, and you could run out of money someday.

Pensions are insured by a Government agency that will try to get you as much of your pension as possible if the company that backs it goes bankrupt.




WHAT IS AN ANNUITY?

Annuities are financial products built by insurance companies. They come in two main forms: annuities that help you save for retirement and annuities that provide steady income, usually in retirement. For the purposes of this article, we’re going to focus on the ones that help provide income in retirement. They’re known as income annuities.

Here’s how it works. You make a payment to an insurance company, often a portion of your retirement savings. Once you purchase the income annuity, the insurance company will make regular payments back to you over time, usually for as long as you live. That means you could live until you’re 110 or older without having to worry about running out of money.

As with a pension, once you start receiving income from an annuity, you don’t have to worry about how that income is being generated. The insurance company handles all that for you. it’s a good idea to work with a trusted financial advisor to make sure you get the right annuity for you.

As you can see, while there are some differences between pensions and annuities, the purpose of both is the same: to provide steady retirement income that you can’t outlive. If you don’t have a pension and are interested in guaranteed income for life, an annuity may be the right option for you.
Income annuities have no cash value. Once issued, this annuity cannot be terminated (surrendered), and the premium paid for the annuity is not refundable and cannot be withdrawn.

My verdict: Annuity is the best form of all the retirement plans.

BusinessRe: Taxi App Development: Features To Cost Of Development by PapaGfad: 1:49am On Jul 08, 2021
Markstevenson:
You're reading this article because you know the value of starting an app-based taxi business.

Uberization made people fell in love with instant services.

And it's not gonna stop anytime soon.

In this article, I'm going to show you exactly how you can get started with taxi app development.

Steps to follow to get started with taxi app development:

1. Picking up the business niche and model

2. Choosing the flexible revenue model

3. Identifying the features and functionalities

4. Selecting the apt technology to create the app

5. Cost of development


Business and revenue model:

Choosing the business and revenue model helps you sustain yourself in this competitive marketplace.

The business and revenue model that suits the on-demand taxi business is the aggregator business model and commission-based revenue model.

Features and functionalities

Features and functionalities are the backbones of any mobile application. It can make or break your app growth.

So choose your features wisely. Pick features for your MVP and add additional functionalities further down the lane.

Features of driver app:

1. Trip history
2. Driver status update
3. Earnings report
4. Push notification
5. Dynamic routing

Features of passenger app:

1. Registration
2. Live tracking
3. Vehicle categories
4. Fare estimation
5. Multiple payment methods

Features of admin panel:

1. Users management
2. Category management
3. Geo-fencing
4. Promo code management
5. Payout management

Technology to create the app

What's the best technology to create a taxi app?

We say - it's Flutter.

Flutter is a cross-platform software development toolkit presented by Google.

It helps create cross-platform applications at a low cost and helps launch your app faster into the market.

Cost of development

The cost of developing a taxi app from scratch is way higher than buying a readymade app available in the market.

Here's the cost comparison:

- From scratch: 20 to 30K dollars
- For readymade app: 3 to 5K dollars

As a startup, it is good to start with a readymade Uber clone app and then further add features on top of it.

Note: The readymade app also has everything you need to get started.
How do we get ready made app?

RomanceRe: Why Can't Guys Date Without Having Sex? by PapaGfad: 6:55am On May 01, 2021
Rosement:
I'm a virgin, I don't want to have sex until my wedding night. I'm a Nigerian but my bf is a white guy, he told me he loves and he wants to marry me but he wants us to start having sex while we are dating. I tired of breaking up for this same reason. What do I do?
This is a good thing on your part but don't vex if we guyz find it hard to trust in this situation. I was in a relationship like that and at some point she became friends with another guy only for me to find out they were jigging, whereas, she doesn't allow me touch her...if not for the fear of baba G, I for do her strong thing but I just let it slide.

SocialJustice:
First thing is to put the entire money in fixed deposit of 3 months.

Then you can start researching what to do.

You have to find your way yourself. Seek a business you are sure you can excel in. Then you can start investing from the N8m into the business.

You can also buy good properties to store the money instead of using bank.
Yeah, I have thought of this and I love it.

Please people of high intelligence and exposure, what can a young man who has never handled more than 300,000naira but by providence now has access to 8million naira, how can he effectively utilize that sum?

Note: I already have the understanding that your suggestion may not be 100% the best and also, this is not fiction but someone's reality.

No insults please, just drop your candid opinion to help someone objectively.
