The pension from private companies cant carry you till very old age.

They are just saving part of their workers salaries via all these pension mgt companies.By the time the worker will retire reccesion must of erroded the cash.
The money saved by private pension fund managers cant carry the retired workers for a long time after retirement.So it doesnt qualify as a pension.

You can calculate it.

The govt guys get real time pension in sync with the current economy till they die.

All this pension fund managers have infiltrated private companies with their pension things.

Kindly as them about my write up.

Calculate/forecast how much they will save for you in your portfolio and how many years that money will last you if your retire at the age of 57 and live till 85-90.Compare it to the govt guys.

The only benefit of working for any govt is pension.



Lol you are so naive on how pension scheme now works

Who would you rather save your Pension with Government or Pension managers?

Almost all 36 states of the federation owes backlog of gratituity or pension, Osun State owes over 5 years, Oyo is just paying 2012 retirees pension and gratituity

However Federal workers on PENCOM schemes and Private workers get theirs in weeks after retirement.

I won't argue with you bro. grin
I have personally done findings about this.
You are only assuming since you don't want to find out from pension management company. Kindly provide where you got you information or its safe to assume that what you know is "hear-say"
Just believe what you want cool

But note that pensions can also be paid for life here. It depends on the plan you take after retirement.

No more arguements
kindly ask any retired senior citizen.

Govt might owe but they will still pay and they will be paid for life.

Govt and private pen schemes differ.
Govt pen is real.
why private pen is just a hype.

It doesnt qualify as pension.
how much do you think you will save in your pen scheme bf retirement?.

Can that money carry you for life.?

The govt contribute to the pension of workers,but private comps dont.

This is a close tie...

Government job still leading.

Which nonsense job security .where you waste all your life serving government and paying you peanuts hoping to get pension at your old age when you are no longer active?Thats even if the goverment pay your pension on time.
Its better you choose the multinational company even if you are laid off,there is severance pay,That is why you see some NNPC staff prefers to work in Chevron,SHELL,and any other multinational oil companies than government owned companies

Bro private comps dont pay pension,but the workers are part of a contributry pension scheme.

One some one is retired from a private firm the company will not fund the pension.
If private comps fund pension they wiill be broke/losses.

While the govt retire will enjoy a sound montly pension till they day they die.

The pension of govt workers is around 65-70% of their current salary bf retirement for life(Monthly)

Can the pension funds of a private comp retiree earn 70% of his salary has pension for life?.

NO.



Check well.

Nice write up.I quite agree with you.



Check out the life of staffs of the Multi national
and compare it to that of state civil service

Goto to the car park and see what they drive

Check their shoes and wristwatches

Walk in to their offices and see who begs you for money


State government jobs give you the illusion of comfort and job security, but truly when you retire you may find out you wasted your lifetime on
peanut income, no gratuity , shitty pension

According to your claims.. State government job pays 65k, Multi national job pays 125k .. then open a retirement savings account with Stanbic IBTC or Leadway insurance, tell them to save 60k monthly as your pension contributions and spend 65k, you can also put the 60k in mutual funds Account

Kindly take the multinational job. Civil service job is not worth it,the promotion you are talking about is not even guaranteed steadily. Take a job that would keep you on your toes and make you yearn for personal development. Besides,you are exposed to more opportunities if you work in a multinational coy
Re: State Civil Service Job Or Multinational Company Job? Which One Is Advisable? by membranus: 2:18pm On Sep 24, 2020
My own take is that government job, though secure may turn you eventually into a thief, enriching yourself with public money and properties, therefore damming your soul, and losing heaven.

While corporation job is fraught with job insecurity, and hardship at that time when you need the job and the money most.

My advice is to take the matter to God, and ask for His guidance.

Good morning Nairalanders,

I've been having sleepless night recently as I've been confused in decision making due to the fact that I'm not well experienced about Job matters.

I presently got an offer at a State Public Service with GL 8 Salary Scale of 63k+ monthly (though it's poor) but with a rest assured constant Promotion every 3 years subject to success in Promotion Exercise. There's also hope that in the next 18 years, I'll get to the Directorate levels (GL 15 - 17) where the Pay Structure seems better with Jumbo rise compared to the poor salary structure of GL 7 - 14... Meaning that I'll have to endure till then before enjoyment start coming. Please note that in addition to Promotion every 3 years, this State Public Service don't owe workers salary as they pay in due time as we all know that Public Service has Job Security. Also, I hope by God's Grace that I become a Permanent Secretary if I decide to choose this path while enduring the Salary (I can switch to Federal Parastatals if the Job Offer comes up later though).

On the other hand, I'm about to get a Full time Staff offer from a Multinational Company (Headquarter is based in the US) with more than 120k Salary for a start. There's Career growth and the chance of living comfortably & enjoying life is cool compared to the State Public Service in terms of Salary. We all know that Private Organisations can decide to lay off workers at any time as there's no Job Security. Also, I don't know if Multinational Companies usually lay off only Contract Staff or they can decide to lay off Permanent Staff as well... Though, the Multinational Company have a Pension Scheme for their Staff & didn't lay off workers during this COVID-19 Pandemic as they were operating during the lockdown since they provide essential services.

I wasn't born & brought up with a Silver Spoon and I never pray to struggle in life henceforth as Poverty must die. I'm a Second Class Upper graduate with proven abilities and outstanding performance as I'm a Problem Solver.

I need the assistance of experienced Nairalanders as your advice and point of views with detailed explanations will be highly appreciated.
Any one you settle for will be a better option for You...

First, let me advise you that don't depend on your grade in school because our system here doesn't reward excellent academic performance. Your dilemma in selecting which of the job to go for, I strongly advise that you go for the state civil service job reason is that the pay difference is not much n in the private driven sector you can be easily laid off as we saw during the COVID 19 period. And you can easily have time to further your studies n run a business while working with the government. I could have advised that you go for the multinational job if the starting salary was around 250k n above.

he was paid close to 7m this year for pension, again the way this country is going government workers are improving cos I remember many years back when there is nothing for them, if you wanna go for the other you should learn how to invest later because anything can happen.

Let me say that there's no job security anywhere, especially here in Nigeria. Not even government jobs. What if you're appointed now in government establishment and after fee years there's a change in government and ruling party, then the new govt decides to lay off staff because the monthly expenses is too much, or just because it was the opposition party that employed them? Just pray that whichever one you choose will be the best option for you. Besides, I prefer working with a private organization that pays much than govt work that pays less. No matter what, if you're good at what you do in a private company, and your employees know that you're of great advantage to their business, it'll be very difficult to add you to staff layoff. There's every chance you'll still retain your position even if there's mass layoff of workers. Besides, private works will give you advantage of improvement in your skills because you'll actually be active in your field, than in govt work. Only that one advantage of govt work is that you will have time for your private business, which can be difficult if you're under a private establishment. The choice is yours
