Build that house, worse case scenario you can sell it off.
If that money stays in your hand too long, get ready for it to fly away one way or the other.
Or you invest it into treasury bills which can pay you about 10% every 3 months or so. That is about 1 million naira every quarter or about 300k monthly.

Your money still remains intact.

That's the last information I received regarding treasury bills unless they have changed.

The interest rate is per annum not monthly. So 1m for the year = 83k monthly.

kantap:
Heart of man

Meanwhile, Rivers police exhumes rotten corpses of 3 kidnapped Uniport students

For goodness sake, stop posting gory pictures without warning. Haba!

Homiesjinxbank:
You guys should learn to adjust with the new rules, or kuku go contract it.. because all the rules are for our own safety..who no fit adhere to it should just go to kano.

Don't mind them. Every single thing they must complain and find fault with.

DontCough:

next time you must use indigenous Yoruba smiley oh!

Votukpa:
Just thought I should make some corrections.
I didn't do all of it but I'm sure you get the message.

But some of the corrections you made are alternative words or phrases to those he used, doesn't make his incorrect.

TuFab:
You said you've interacted with Brits and Americans and noticed their blunders? Like seriously?
Are u sure you're normal at all?
So you want to be more English than a British?
You should be ashamed of yourself that u can't speak ur indigenous language fluently, yet u carry another man's own on ur head.
You reek of inferiority complex.
You need a cure fast!!!

What's the insult for? If you don't understand his reasons for creating the post, it's perfectly fine to ignore. We don't have to turn everything to abuse and insults.

DontCough:
Hey OP! I personally don't fvck with English anymore.
Grammatical errors blah blah blah, how is my grammar going to up my account balance.

English is another man's language, another man's agenda.
I'm presently working on an agenda that'll make the world speak Yoruba. Until the US President speaks Yoruba, let English fuvk off.

Who Grammar Epp Abeg?

Meanwhile you typed this in English.....the irony.

grandstar:
I really don't see the phrase economic illiterate as an insult. If I was called a physics illiterate, would it hurt? Well.........

You are trying to change what is being discussed. The guy I quoted was writing Bubu the Mumu all over the place. That is not the same as criticism, it is abusive and disrespectful.

grandstar:
The only reason why you're saying this is because you're a Buhari fan. If it was someone you did not like, you'd be strident in condemning him.

I don't see the big deal calling Buhari an economic illiterate. He has a lamentable understanding of the subject and has left the economy in tatters.

My past posts are all there, I have never been a fan of Buhari, don't agree with his policies or nepotism BUT that is absolutely no excuse to be using abusive words. Makes no sense at all.

AmazingMOG:
Rubbish.


Someone that can’t speak fluent English is your president why y’all that are English Professors are languishing In poverty

That is no excuse! You don't know where opportunity could come from. There are international opportunities beyond just Nigeria so a person using Buhari as a yardstick for mediocrity is only cheating himself or herself.

It's while by the way.

4Play:
Because it signals to a tone deaf leadership that things have to radically change and that people are frustrated. It compels them to look for ways to turn things around. A softly softly approach doesn't work with Nigerian leaders, whether the idiotic Jonathan or Buhari as they are all surrounded by sycophants and inhabit a bubble. However, the shriller the criticisms, the more likely the bubble is penetrated.

Europeans got to where they are today not by offering mellowed criticisms but by taking actions, sometimes including violent revolutions. Not recommending violent revolutions as Nigeria is different, but we need to signal to leaders and potential presidential candidates our dissatisfaction with their leadership qualities.

You wouldn't shirk from abusing a bus driver who kills 1 person from reckless leadership but you recommend this when bad leadership leads to millions of death through extreme poverty induced mortality increases. You probably lose more lives in 1 presidential term through increased infant mortality than the entire loss of lives during the Biafran war.

Still does not explain how ABUSES translate to criticism.

Stop trying to justify something that is obviously wrong. What is wrong is wrong, you guys should grow up.

DonMustafa:
It is better to cut staff salaries than to sack them. Even if the staffs will hunt for other jobs, at least something still comes in monthly to pay bills. Complete sack is terrible.

Those of you begging bankers money, you see it is not easy anywhere in Nigeria. That is why I recommend online dating for people who need financial assistance. White people have good hearts. They have pity. They will help you if they have. You never know until you try. If it is only $500 the person sends, this is N200,000. Imagine what N200,000 will do in your life now.

This is what I did last year December when I was broke. I got a white lady through online dating and begged her. She help me and I opened a betting shop that is feeding me up to today. If I did not do online dating in December, by this lockdown, I would being eating sand. Don't just eat all the money you get. Start something small.

For those people sending PM and asking me which dating site I used, it is Bit Mistress. See the link in the pic below

Wow, Nigerian men, where is your dignity and self respect?!!

This has already generated into a Ghana vs Nigeria competition. Africans never learn to collaborate, reason we are where we are - disjointed and economically challenged.

temptnow:
Useless Ghanaians always want to showoff all the time.

Even UK and America have not ease Lock down it's now a shit hole like Ghana that want to show off.

Mumu people.

What a shame that this statement is coming from an AFRICAN. You are even mocking them with golliwog pictures, meanwhile when other races blatantly disrespect you, you start crying racism.

4Play:
Restraint in the face of extreme and deadly poverty ravaging your country due to the economically illiterate president is utter idiocy.

Boris Johnson and Donald Trump get worse from their citizens. You can't see people dying (extreme poverty causes higher mortality) and feel comfortable with genteel criticisms of political leadership. Unless like the typical Nigerian, you have lost sense of the value of human life.

So how exactly do petty abuses change anything? How does calling someone mumu achieve any progress? Pray tell, explain.

It is perfectly POSSIBLE to criticise without being abusive.

SeverusSnape:
Bubu the mumu is just clueless.

Trial by error government.

Achievement(s): Nothing.

They now know that this recommendation from the Jonathan Administration is the best.

It's very disrespectful to constantly be referring to the president of your country as Mumu. Disagree with his policies all you want but getting personal and petty like this reflects badly more on you than the person you are criticising.

operationmoses:
So all this people that are close to you begging on naira land you can not help them it's somebody you don't know and have not asked you for a Penny you want to help

It's his money and his CHOICE how he decides to spend it. People should stop encouraging this begging mentality and culture.

Same with on Nairaland these days. All manners of begging. No shame or dignity. Very soon begging will become a way of life and adopted culture.

Corporate2020:
Your parents that are not dead, what is their usefulness to your family? What is their life achievement? No insult, just answer the questions. I have parents too, so I don't insult other people's parents even when they pass their boundary.

Did the person you quoted insult your parents or bring them into the conversation? No. But you did. You people should learn to know where to draw the line in your bid to defend whatever you want to defend. Very very wrong.

This is just gross.

AdesegunSanni89:
So because Government officials are paid bogus allowances and salaries means that citizens shouldn't offer tangible advice to them? or because citizens aren't being paid bogus allowances and salaries means they can't advice their government? Indeed ''there is no end to the level of daftness on NL these days''.

[/s]

Montlab25:
You are right but religion and culture are the obstacles here. How many muslims will allow you disect their parents' dead body for days in Kano?

Yes, but they need to weigh that with the potential number of lives that would be lost by not knowing. There should be exceptions where life is concerned.

AdesegunSanni89:
The government officials are also citizens like you. If you can't offer advice the government on how to do it's work better, then keep quiet and stop complaining. What we are basically asking you is - what will you do better if you find yourself in government tomorrow? Or you no get anything for head?

Of course, says a government apologist.
Are citizens being paid bogus allowances and salaries for them to be doing the government's job? Why bother electing a government then? Why not just abolish it completely? Mschew. There is no end to the level of daftness on NL these days.

AdesegunSanni89:
Please advice the government on how to fix electricity because all you critics know how to do is complain without offering tangible solutions.

So it now the citizens' jobs to advice the government on how to do its work

SirLakes:
Yes oo, let them produce massively so that Nigerian can Buy as usual

Buying is the only thing we are known for

Lmaoooo

LordAdam:
Thankfully, it's mandatory. Since apparently it's okay if everyone makes sacrifices except you.

It's difficult to have sympathy for your position when you can't bring yourself to have empathy for others who are not doing as well as you.

It is temporary. You still get to keep 75% of your salary when millions have been sacked or have their wages slashed massively. It's for the most vulnerable. It'd apply to civil and public servants who earn more than you.

Dear, you might be a decent person; an amazing wife, mother, sister, daughter or whatever; and a law-abiding citizen; but your sense of civic responsibility is lacking.

-Lord

Your opinion. I still do not agree.
Government should face its responsibility and leave the already drained citizens alone. Eod.

Omobada:
That's not illiteracy sister...

You are right, removed it.

LordAdam:
Are you saying we should wait until healthcare, roads, electricity, and other problems are fixed before we cater for those who've been the short end of the stick for the last month and would be for the next month?

Abi are you the only one suffering from bad governance? Everyone is. All El-Rufai is asking you to do is to help watch out for your fellow citizens by donating 25% of your take home pay. Everyone is pitching in. Do your part!

You're acting like if a teenage pregnant kid runs to you to take her to the hospital; you'll ask her to wait for her parents or partner. Do what you have to now. This rage you're feeling, which I completely understand, is only a fraction of the rage daily earners are feeling when told they can't go out to earn something for the next 30 days. So bite on a bullet, these are not normal times for anyone.

-Lord

Where did I write that those things should be fixed first? The point, since you didn't get it, is that Nigerians already get a bad deal from the govt so they shouldn't be asked to sacrifice more.

You are free to do your part and donate 100% of your salary if you want. That's your choice.

Badonasty:
Why can’t they perform one on a corpse before it’s buried

Exactly

Verbal autopsy when an actual autopsy will provide more concrete information. Why don't people value lives like this?!

obembet:
All this are not new to a typical Nigerians... We are use to it

Don't worry, it's about to double by 2. Very soon we will realise that it is not a normal way of life to be used to suffering.

Incredible.

Nigerians will now better understand the consequence of bad governance.

A government that has failed to plan will definitely have a hard time during times like these. Fix electricity? No. Allocate the right budget to health and education? No. Develop the country? No. Well, this is the result.
