Normally 74k is supposed to be a big money, where we have a president that has the citizens at heart.
Instead of benefitting from the government, the APC government keeps removing every little help that cuts across every average citizen with their selective leadership.
If fuel was 300 naira per liter, and light is subsidized , you will enjoy the 74k with happiness.
It's a pity.
Are u sure u are okayhuh
So you monthly income is not up to a litre of fuel, and u say they will enjoyhuh lol
Who is this pls

My spouses father is a retired soldier and retired as a corporal......his monthly pension just got increased to 93k from 70k and he has been getting it regularly since last October.

So how can a level 10 civil servant say he is earning 74k,he should come out and tell us how much his gratuity was......i know someone who retired @grade level 12 as far back as 2010 and he got 12m in gratuity.

You get 75k for doing nothing now and you still dey complain after collecting about 400k per month for 10 years with the nonchalant attitude most of you do the civil service work that you resume work at 11am drink tea for 1 hour, walk around gossiping for another 2 hours and then at close by 2pm to your private business without sitting at your offical desk for more than 1 hour to do government that gets you sone kickback and then you get access to car loan, house loan and retire with huge gratuity and you still dey complain. Maybe you should ask the people who worked at private companies how far and those who were more qualified than you but don't know anybody or money to get themselves fix into the government work the way you got in how far now.

The civil service is the center of corruption in Nigeria and gets the most money of the country. So stop collecting it if it is nothingto you.
YOU CAN GO AND JOIN THEM DRINK TEA COME BACK AND SLEEP.

I still wonder why people rush and even bribe to get a civil service job, except one has alternative source of income, the person will struggle with poverty

Most of them can afford to do nothing. It's mostly free money. Many don't also tell the full story. Some of them are on overloan if there's a word like that, a lot of deductions from loans they got and still get.

Pension is a combination of many factors. If your father in-law was in the service for 35 years and serve in many hazard zones and all the emolument was used in calculating his pension compare to this guy that work for just 10 years.
Most people here are condemning the pay without looking at the number of years the guy work for the federal government. How many private companies paid you pension for a lifetime after just 10 years?
This guy even said that he is retiring because his other gig was giving him better pay. If he had been working for a company that pays better than the federal government with better pension for 10 years would he have had the time for other business?
you are paid what you deserve. How many Nigerian artisans e.g. bricklayers, mechanics, bus drivers etc. are retiring on #74,000. He should be grateful and thank the government for the opportunity that was given to him.

Civil Service level 14, is HND holder. For 10 years the individual had no urge to pursue additional qualification to rise.

Certain civil servants spend 20 years with only WAEC to their name and cry fowl after receiving peanut for gratuity and pension.

Who has more free time to acquire qualifications than civil servants?

The civil service are the enablers of corruption by the criminal politicians.

Ask the poster to tell us what was his gratuity that was paid at the end of his service. He's very ungrateful person.

I understand your level of political intellectual and how much you have bought the propaganda against Atiku.

I am sure, every Nigerian - including the illiterates will one day hear the real gist about what transpire between Obj as a president and Atiku as the vice, a vice who knew his onions and guided obj on the constitution against obj's wish as obj was wallowing in lust for his dilutional 3rd term and the Nigeria farm he kolobi to his personal obasanjo farm and royalty from MTN on every recharge by the people.

Atiku is determined to recover all Nigeria asset.

Angelfrost:
Hahahaha... Atiku will finally bury this nation if he manages to win. grin

He will first of all empty the national treasury to settle the election gbese of so many years.


...Anyway, he can't even win. Not when Obi and Kwankwaso are not standing behind him.

I resigned last month from my Federal job after 10years and 8 months too.

Salary is just #208,977.

At level 12.

Let me face my future now than never.

I am dropping this here to encourage all of us to start up something.

I was able to do this because I started something that pays more.

I sat down and peep into my future and decided to do this and I am glad I did.

Not true. No level 17 will be collecting 125.
Level 17 is the peak of civil service career at Director cadre, and asides the heavy gratuity, they are entitled 100 percent of basic salary as pension. That's will be at least 400k in most government agencies on conmess.

Its still bad but not as bad as the poster painted it.
