Smiles.. I said it before, do your fact check and edit your previous response as it didn't address my initial comment.

Academic ignorance 😂

Education is downgraded indeed.

….I won’t label you as exhibiting academic ignorance. I will respect your choice, even if poorly dogged out. If I don’t know Atiku, that would have been a different story. Contesting an elective office doesn’t give you the inept analysis to aspirants.

Ok.
How many are opportune to work for Nestle?
Many. Go and find out. Even their merchandisers are earning well.

Not only at Nestle sef. Go to Lagos and you will see several small companies paying more than that to workers who have less than 5 years’ experiences.

Doctors who join civil service don’t have brain.
Raising money and running a clinic from one-room apartment alone is better than federal government job.

Go and see what medical doctors in private practices are making.

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
you can get corruption pay, if you pay millions in Abuja and you are a custom officer for example they can transfer you to apapa for two months through bribe and corruption you get money

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.
Bro that's if you work in NNPC not any government job

NNPC kwa. You know little to nothing about federal government pension.
How can a director entitled to driver and domestic staff in service be collecting 125k on retirement.

Did u say huge amount how?
yes o because it's not easy to see that kind of amount as salary for a civil servant.

For someone with four children...feeding and sorting of other bills.

My rent alone is #2,650,000. Fueling of two cars and name it.

That money is too small to pay my bills honestly .

Re: There’s Nothing In The Civil Service - Pensioner Shares ₦74k Pension by Love800(m): 7:20pm On Aug 15
But you received pension?

A sincere question.
Nice2023:
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.

Nnpc no dey pay well again.

One of our neighborhood-friend resigned from nnpc and went on job-hunting for a new career.
oloriooko:
There is no corrupt free civil servant, every civil servant is in one way or the other breaking the law in order to make ends meet with the meager pay.
This is the reason for the massive looting in the civil service cuz the pension is a joke compared to some "special" civil servants like NNPC, CBN, DMO etc.
The inflation rate is far higher than the pay hence the corruption in the service
That 125k you mentioned is for a Director level now imagine what the state civil servants earn cheesy
The retired "special" civil servants can go home with what an active civil servant get as take home

After gratuity, are they still paid pension?

Abi na pension be gratuity?
Am confuse.

Lecture me if you can.
Thank you.
Lithiumite:
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.

Asin what does gratuity mean pls?

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

You can't compare theirs to the core civil service bro, the difference is 7up!

it's not possible. You can't earn below the 18k, 30k or 70k minimum wage.
Very possible. It’s someone very close to me. I know and I'm sure of what I am saying.

What is lumpsum?
Ehisjango1:
You spent barely 10yrs in service and your length of service and amount of monthly contributions, determine the value of your RSA balance at retirement - it is not magic. You didnt also disclose to us what you got as lump sum - pls do full disclosure. You can have more monthly pension if you had reduced the value of lumpsum that you collected. Pls stop being mischievous with information.

Its gratuity and pension the same thing?
akaahs:
Its all depends on the ministry/agency one retired. A colleague of mine retired on level 14 with a gratuity of 4m and 49k pension.

then i don't think that person is a full-time civil servant. Maybe a casual staff and even at that, the salary is too small. I'm a civil servant too so I know what I am talking about.

no civil servant can live such life. I'm a civil servant and I know what I am going through. A level 10 civil servant earning just 126k monthly so imagine a whole 265k.

That is why I am not the usual civil servant...I was comfortable when I joined civil service and that is why I didn't plan staying beyond 10years.
I understand u better, I will advice u to hit the street and sort urself out. There is no money in being a civil servant honestly.

The real money is outside and believe me honestly

I believe you. Though, I am into Agropreneurship, just that the sales doesn't come in bulk. It is what has been paying my rent and utilities since I joined the system.

No. Gratuity and pension are related to retirement benefits, but they are not the same thing.
