Guys please do a little research;
Before the new pension Act 2004 came into force, staff of NEPA
contributed 25% of their earnings as pension savings.
Even after 2004, they did not join the contributory pension scheme.
I think there are other agencies that manage their pension themselves.
Now FG wants to dispose of the company; What do you think should be done?

But I pray God heal her and bring happiness to her family

I am no atheist but you can be one funny basstard at times. Love this

musKeeto: Dear Lord,

Open the eyes of your people. If it is your will that she dies, so that our leaders will begin to focus on building our nation, may it be so...

I think it is not a breach of security.
Photo probably was released by his PR people.
For me, it may be getting the intended effect
because GEJ looks cool really.

acidtalk: THIS IS A BRIDGE OF SECURITY.

This is a treasonable act to the highest order.

Snapping a whole president (without his permission) in the office is one of the biggest security Flaws in the history of Nigeria.

This goes to tell Jonathan and his government that even his security details HATE him so much and are all just bloody hypocrites.

I fear for the safety of this man and his family because he doesn't have any secret again.

Watch out, they might soon bring his picture of him in the bathroom.

But in as much as I don't like Jonathan's policies, I feel this is just very unfair for a President.

sofa-dj:
Yes they feel like they are in heaven
Yes those countries are superior
Yes life is not fair, u want it fair, u chose a wrong planet, wrong species,wrong race.

Tell him o. Even a blind man knows

Pleas guys look at the timing of the story

Itohen: Army GOC Batters Truck Driver, Impounds Truck
Minimah, who survived last month’s shake-up in the Army, is one of the officers favoured to take over from Lt. General Azubuike Ihejirika as Chief of Army Staff later in the year, when the later moves over as Chief of Defence Staff.

Attempts to get General Minimah’s side of the story were unsuccessful as he did not respond to calls and text messages.

/

i am not defending the man but methinks its all about who succeeds (or not) Ihejirika

justwise: Long time untainted, hope you are ok, thanks for your comment.

Acidosis: There is nothing wrong with His (David Mark) statements.

I quite agree. Yakassai should address the message not attack the messenger

nsecurity: Tanko Yakasai berates Mark, calls for his resignation


Written by Ibrahim Musa Giginyu, Kano Wednesday, 27 June 2012 05:00


Following Monday’s remarks by Senate President David Mark during the opening session of the 2012 Senate retreat in Uyo on failure of northern leaders to halt Boko Haram insurgency in the area, an elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, has called on the Senate president to resign from his post as he has clearly admitted losing confidence in the future of Nigeria as a nation.

Speaking at a media briefing in Kano yesterday, Yakasai said it was unfortunate that such statement was coming from the number three citizen of the nation who has by virtue of law the mandate to preside as the chairman of a joint sitting of the legislators.

According to Yakasai, one would have expected that there would be enough maturity in his utterances. “It is unfortunate that a man who has served at different capacities, a military by profession should utter such statement. As far as I am concerned, I regard his statement as childish, ill-conceived and immature,” Yakasai said.

Yakasai further stated that[b] a fool at 40 is a fool for ever and that if a man that attained 60 can speak like a fool, what that man is telling the world is that he has been a fool for 20 years.

“Nigerians are living with a fool for 20 years without their knowledge. All the positions Mark held when he was 40, he occupied them erroneously.[/b] I need not to remind you that I have served as special assistant to the National Assembly; I know the weight and significance of the position of the Senate President. My fear is that there are people occupying positions in Nigeria without realizing the implication of the positions,” he said.

According to Yakasai, it is common knowledge that people are whispering all over the country that David Mark is aspiring to be the president of Nigeria, either by 2015 or at any time the present President lives office.

“How can one aspiring to be a president of this nation be making such statements; virtually his statement published in yesterday’s newspapers disqualified him from contesting that position. The statement credited to the Senate President is a betrayal and lack of actual grasp of the situation in the country. A man in a position of number three citizen of a nation ought to have at his finger tips the necessary information arising from serious analysis of the whole situation which the statement of David Mark does not portray,” Tanko Yakasai stated.

Yakasai said for the statement made by David Mark, he had not only disqualified himself from aspiring to be the President of Nigeria but also from occupying his current position. “Nobody should be the Senate President in Nigeria when he has no confidence in the future of Nigeria; I therefore call on David Mark to resign from his position,” Yakasai said.

adaybayor: I agree with you for once

It might interest you to know that you only agreed with BEEF with the exclamation mark. BEEF is not the same with BEEF!

Beaf: This is a very nice development indeed! Up Nigeria!
May we use it to immediately conquer Cameroon.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Beaf no wound persin here o. Wetin cameroun do na?

Beaf: The press id a disgrace.

Haba Beaf, come easy on the press, after all the same press cleared the confusion

The legend lives forever.

lastpage: "Member" of where? "Member" of what?
This type of "incomplete sentence" is not expected from you naah!
You don dey fall my hand o!

For example, it could have read "Nairaland Member" Feese, ........
Or just remove the "member" completely.

Lastpage!

Her name is "Member Feese." If you don't have time to watch the video, at least google her name.

I think the most marginalised people in Nigeria are the Gwari people in Abuja.
They were forced out of their ancestral land and turned to raod sweepers and derided
in the Abuja.
They are constantly pushed further out of the city as Abuja expands daily.
Job quotas of Abuja are filled by "chukwumas & Babalolas" and you see outsiders
grabbing political offices in the capital city.
In fact, everything that indigenes enjoy in the 36 states, others shove aside Gwari
people in Abuja and enjoy.
Whenever anybody cries marginalisation, think Gwari people in Abuja

new nairaland not really as user friendly as the old. the colour is not right too

md4real:
another form of slave trade, cheap labour from nigeria

haba bros; are they paid less than their colleagues in same teams for same effort?
And would they have been better off playing in Nigerian leagues?

You are an inspiration to millions on Nairaland both the registered and unregistered.
When serious issues come up on the family section, people in my office eagerly wait to hear
what you have to say.  

Happy Birthday Chaircover!

zaboy:
someone just created this list using their computer. Banks dont give out their clients' details like that. Swiss banks i know for sure!
Now dont accuse me of defending them, but if we castigate them, lets at least be fair!

You raised a valid point but Nigerian media actually reported this some years back

chosen04:
You mean some one just reposted 1999 list? sorry  . . . . . . . . 2000?

Yes Chosen04, there is a need for an update.

The reason Obj is not on the list is because the list was actually compiled a few months into his regime.
I think Tell Magazine or Tempo carried the story

I think where the OP missed it is not realising that these people (GOs) register (their) churches as private concerns
with a board or its like mostly made up of wives, children, and in rare cases, a few outsiders.
It is not as if members have a choice.
Go to the Corporate Affairs Commission and you will see that their position is unassailable

maclatunji:
I did not take offence with your post/question. I just don't want to derail this thread for OP. Now, I would really like you to ask that question like I stated earlier.

#Idonttakeoffenceeasily

Okay, I will find time for that. A bit busy now. Thanks

maclatunji:
Please, create a new thread in Islam for Muslims section for this question.

Thank you!

No offense intended. But thanks all the same.

maclatunji:
This topic is misleading, the widow's relatives have no conjugal rights over the woman because she has not married any of them. I understand what OP is talking about, which is the culture of a man's wife being passed on to his older or younger brother after his death. No woman has to put-up with that if she does not want to. The people who do it, get away with it because of any of the following reasons:

1. She agrees to it.

2. She feels threatened and helpless to fight it.

Either way, a formal process of accepting or 'pretending to accept' is involved and she is given to only one of her husband's relatives and not all of them.

In this case, it is obvious that the woman has no such desire. Hence, she just needs to act smart to secure her interests and settle with the family on the remaining part of the property through her lawyer. It is sad when this happens as it is a very backward way of doing things. Most of the time, it is just outright robbery of the wife and children of the deceased.

Men should get their wills sorted out as soon as possible and ensure that their wife or kid is their next of Kin (that is best). If your other relatives are next-of-kin problems are likely to arise.

Sorry, I really need to know; is it permissible in Islam to leave a will?
Will the instructions be followed to the letter?

But why would a sensible reporter withold the name of the villain and release that of the victims?

Anybody studying in Turkey? For example in any of the universities in gazientep, mardin or diyarbakir.

What amazes me is that Ojo Maduekwe will, when posted work under some directors in the Foreign Affairs ministry where he once held sway.
He will receive orders from the permanent secretary and definitely from the director of personnel.
It is a free world but how can one decend so low?

noblezone:
A beg make them hollam well oo.
He fit escape now and turn to Abu Tata or Abu Yaya.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, u no lie my brother
