Great men believed they would rather not die by the swords of the enemies.

Hahahahaha!!!! how totally ironic . Hitler would never have seen you as a human being. Yet you’re here calling him great. Great men led the people in war. They did not kill themselves. No warrior does that.

Officialgarri:
Its one thing to lead your people to death, its another thing to stand by your people till death.

Only great men stand by their men till death.

No matter how bad Hitler is, he died an infamous matyr.

I hope you know Hitler died the death of the coward. He committed suicide.

Clefayomide:
Ok thanks

You’re most welcome. Reading all these mentions and comments, it is obvious that there are so many misconceptions about what the pension is. You can go to pal pensions. The head office is in Victoria island. Or IBTC pensions. When you get the explanations, maybe you can open a thread to educate all these people who can’t differentiate between the gratuity and the pension. Who see pensions as an investment like mutual funds.

Asquare84:
So who will benefit from the father outsanding RSA ballance

That is not how it works. The pension is not just made up of employees and employer contributions. You have the interests also. But often, this is not enough to pay a salary every month for a minimum of 18 years. Where does the rest of the money come from? The pension fund in general. If the pensioner dies without collecting the gratuity, the next of kin receives that lump sum. The rest goes back into the pension fund. Pension is not transferable. It won’t even be paid into a third party bank account.

Asquare84:
I currently work with a P F A, out standing balance of your father pension will be paid to the next of kin. Visit any branch of Stanbic penion

This information is totally false. This is not how to get clients.

Clefayomide:
I believe we are both talking about the same contributory pension scheme? Here's what I got from my research

Please go to their office and get the facts.

Clefayomide:
Are you sure about this?, Because to my best of knowledge, every employees pension is normally removed out of his/her gratuity. for example, if an employees gratuity is let's say 15M, certain amount is being removed aside and being paid as pension bit by bit to the employee every month. So you saying it's the contribution of the dad and his employer, how please?

This is how it works. You and your employer contribute certain amount every month. If you retire before you’re 50, you can take 25% of the contribution plus acrued interest. If you don’t take it and you retired by 50, you’ll be paid the 25% in bulk. The rest will be paid every month or quarterly based on your instruction for next maybe 18years. This is your pension. It is not paid in bulk and it is not transferable.

dchem:
You had better stop displaying your ignorance here. Beneficiary gets the funds in the event if death of the contributor. Stop make claims you obviously have no knowledge of. I have lost colleagues and their wives got the Pension fund as well as group life insurance payments and their gratuity.

Is there something wrong with you? Stop misleading the op. He is not talking about savings or investments his dad had with the bank. He is talking about his dads pension. He can only receive the gratuity. Pension is not paid as a lump sum. It is paid every month.

dannybrasky:
I disagree!! As far as the father is late,next of kin is so so entitled to his contribution. And I am talking from experience.

But I’m talking from experience too. There have a lot of reforms regarding pensions. Please don’t raise the ops expectations

valdes00:
Haaa, so pension that I have been contributing since is useless if unfortunately I kpai ..... Gbese

25 percent of the pension money will be given to you anytime you want it. That is if you retire before you’re 50 years of age. So you can take it and invest. Then maybe die after that and you kids can inherit that. Maybe

Famax:
Abeg, stop talking rubbish!

Are you brainless? Do you work at all? Do you have a pension plan? Then you’d know that pension is not transferable. What is transfered to the next of kin is any unpaid gratuity. If you want to know more you can contact pension providers like pal, ibtc...

valdes00:
So what is the essence of adding next of Kin to the form....

Gratuity

Pinkybush:
Even when it was my dad's contribution which is different from someone who worked in civil service?

It is not just your dad’s contribution. It is the contribution of your dad and his employer. You are not entitled to your dads pension.

mastar111:
Nation has already fallen. No quality education. That's why you can't difference between role and roll.

Maybe that’s why you don’t use noun markers or articles in your sentences. Don’t worry, Nigeria will get.

Gandollar:
What's your problem Mr Man? Is Dino the governor of kogi state? Did people from his constituency cry to you that Dino neglected them? A little Google search will tell you what Dino has done and is doing for his people. Is Dino Jesus Christ that died for His people? Some people just hate the rich for no just cause and these set of people are toxic people.

Oh just stuff it. First of all, I’m female. Secondly, do you know what state and constituency I belong to? Is an incomplete school building after how many years in government noteworthy? Finally, I am so far from poor. If you are very observant, you’d notice the f beside my moniker. If you check my previous posts, you’d understand that I don’t stand for bashing anyone because they are privileged. Oh! Finally finally, I don’t consider Dino or any one in government not doing their job rich. He is an employee of the state and since my taxes pay him, he should do his job.

Dear Mr. Usman,

you are an honorable man indeed. Your good name and grand deed will be remembered by generations yet unborn. You have added value to thousands of lives and this can never be forgotten. You’ve shown foreigners that honest Nigerians exists. May you be uplifted and May you enjoy good success.

GEEBITE:
because Tinubu is a geezer.Real age is closer to 80 than 75

It is not ethical for Dino to flaunt his wealth while representing the poorest state in Nigeria.

Dannyhajo:
you are a nuisance what do you take this man for despite his loyalty to his people yet you aren't satisfied but to instigate his people against him... come to ondo south and see the kind of senator respresenting us .. how I wish dino can be the next ondo state governor

Dino’s loyalty is to Kogi State? Oga, show us the dividends of his loyalty in Kogi State. How can someone representing a state in abject poverty be flaunting his wealth? Has Dino been able to identify the problems with Kogi State? Has he proffered any appropriate solutions? All we read is Dino singing to taunt his political detractors or attending one function like an entertainer or trying to outsmart the scheming political opponents. Oh and showing off his cars of course.

jaxxy:
Propaganda. Do they know tinubu has several times more than Dino?

Tinubu truly does and personally, I detest Tinubu. But Dino flaunts his wealth while representing the poorest state in Nigeria. Tinubu never flaunts his wealth on social media or real world.

lordkush:
shut up. that guy dino is as clean as a whistle.






if not that foolish magu will be chasing him all over the place now

It does not matter if his money is legitimate. While there’s nothing wrong with owning these cars if he can afford them, it is morally wrong for Dino to flaunt his money when he represents a state that is in abject poverty. Where some teachers are paid three thousand Naira per month. Where there has been no change in the last 40 years. A state where it’s indegenes are committing suicide because of hunger and hardship. Have you seen the poverty mindset of a great number of the youths of Kogi State? I expect Dino on social media to discuss the problems with Kogi State as well as proffering appropriate solutions. Dino is smart enough to outsmart his political detractors. Let him use some of the smarts to help his state.

FortuneDeGreat:
This girl how much they pay you for you to be supporting evil to this volume?

Don't you know that you're more qualified to be president than buhari, ain't you ashamed and aggrieved that you're being ruled by an illiterate? Better rethink.

Mr. literate, if you’re not happy with the results that has given President Buhari his second term, your education should inform you to take the case to court instead of making up up stories on Nairaland

donkarly:
I'm not laughing at the death of his people n I can't..What then do you say to the nonsense guy who is proud of gowon for crushing the biafran rebellion?leave matter abeg

Crushing a rebellion and crushing people isn’t the same. It is unfortunate that to crush the rebellion, people had to die. But even if he said something wrong, should you not show more wisdom and compassion?

Yakubu Gowon has a great name in not just Nigerian history, but Africa as a whole. He could have gloated in victory, but chose to embrace the vanquished. He declared no victor or vanquished in the aftermath of the war. Because being the wise person he is, he knows that everyone looses when relationships degenerate into a war. Unfortunately, over 50years after the war, some myopic and selff seeking people still play the ethnic card to promote their personal agendas.

donkarly:
And now his people are being crushed and 'the crusher of the biafran rebellion' can't crush the crushers..

You really are malicious. What on earth have his people ever done to you that you’re rejoicing at the death of innocent people.

boldaslion:
And you expect your Zoo to grow when certificate forger is your president. Not only that but worse still, in impostor from Sudan is your president. Shame on you. Your country will never grow like that you are only deceiving yourself and your likes

Kindly get out of my mentions. I don’t have conversations with narrow minded, shallow, and iniquitous people. You don’t wish Nigeria well. While you’re still alive, you will see Nigeria thrive in good success.

Jason007:
I share your opinion. He could have gone about it the traditional way but opted for the easiest and unfatherlike way to sell them. Regardless, Let's hope the children are in better hands to take care of them.

True! Those kids should not be left with such a father.

Offpoint:
I don't know o, why the hell are they claiming to be fighting the whites for milking their land dry... nawa o

Just trying to justify their wickedness. The people their fleecing don’t even know anything about the slave trade. Some are immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Some are African Americans. The real descendants of slavery.
Moreover, there’s no reason to blame the whites for the slave trade. Our chiefs and leaders sold their own people for frivolous rubbish like mirrors and dented pots.

Offpoint:
I'm not in anyway supporting yahoo boys, but one thing I know these boys don't play their games at home.

It's either the guy made bad investment or he tried doubling his money.

Of course they operate in Nigeria. When they throw out feelers overseas and get no response, their broke, lazy, wicked and desperate selves look for a victim in Nigeria. I know they’ve called me numerous times.

ballerboy:
this how they think....Igbo people

Really? But the man is not Igbo. Meanwhile, please don’t bring tribal sentiments into my mentions.

Jason007:
illiteracy might not be inform of education but enlightenment, you said it yourself he might have put them up for adoption which am sure he doesn't know. most of the time our people don't know there are legal ways of doing things of this nature. his act is a shame to humanity and himself.

Okay, but when I say adoption, I’m not talking about the legal way. I’m talking about what is done traditionally. Giving kids to more fortunate relatives or even strangers to raise and give them more opportunities. I would have blamed poverty if he was looking for the rich man so he could give the children to him to raise. But to actually think of selling them speaks of a mindset that speaks of wickedness and selfishness.

tellwisdom:
Traditional remains the one and only legal marriage for Nigeria as a local. No more, no less.

Seriously? Because you stated it so emphatically does not make it true. Women have found out that they have no benefits under the traditional marriage. Which is why more and more women opt for the registry.

Jason007:


when there is high rate of illiteracy and hunger in the society how do you expect him to understand what he's doing is totally wrong. he's only reasoning in his level of capacity to resolve his situation but still thank God.

Illiteracy has nothing to do with his actions. Being literate does not mean high morals. As for hunger, he could have put his kids up for adoption if he could no longer take care of them. Instead, he put a price tag on them.
