I didn't want to join in this conversation but it's really funny to see some unemployed dudes here rubbish the fact that people in private sector are doing great.
However, contrary to what Madam said, this thread was created mostly for public servants who could give factual figures of salaries within their organisation, and so this will help those seeking for an upgrade and the unemployed as well.
Having said that, my very young cousin who just finished NYSC is with UBA now earning over 250k monthly. Just like you, I have many colleagues who regret leaving the private sector especially if you are a professional. Only lazy, myopic civil servants or people who have never worked anywhere will think all jobs in civil service are better than all jobs in private sector.
One dude even said oil companies start with 250k. Lol.
That was like 15 years ago dude.
When I was in JSS3 far back in 2001, my brother in law who was a trainee geologist with the defunct National Oil (Kaduna Refinery) was earning 120k/monthly. I can never forget this in my life. This was a time that senior civil servants were taking home 25-30k as monthly salary. In 2011 while I was serving, my uncle was earning 800k monthly in Zenith bank although as an Assistant Marketing Manager then.

There's a reason why the likes of NCC, NNPC, NMDPRA, NUPRC, NIA, NDIC etc pay huge allowances. It's because it's the "industry" standard. You don't pay that much, then you watch your staff being compromised by the organisations they are meant to regulate or even move to these organisations to help them with regulatory compliance.
A senior friend of mine left EFCC for MTN. He's a regional security xxxxxxx with MTN today, earning X10 of what EFCC was paying him. Funny thing was that he never even applied, an MTN staff spotted him when he gave an address at a function that EFCC was part of. Na so they begin chase my guy.

How much do you think safety officers, chemical engineers and others will earn at Dangote Refinery at entry level?

Like Madam said, a lot of these guys are jobless and will stand on their ignorance than admit they know nothing. That one even said "Google my name".

Walahi, I just googled it hoping to see something spectacular. I was disappointed. Let me stop at that, so I don't sound condescending.

All man to his wish. Some are looking for job of 70k, others 150k. Some want 300k, another wants 1million. May God grant us according to our heart desires.

The government knows that at least 50% of the workforce in the civil service are redundant, that's why they don't care about the wages. A lot of these civil servants cannot thrive in serious private organisations that mean business. Hence, they are satisfied with the 70k monthly, no stress job.
Asides from those in highly specialized organisations and who are being paid well for it.......
I rest my case!


The type of mentality some of you exude here is why some people insist that civil service jobs are for the lazy unproductive folks. Go to Federal Secretariat in Abuja and see something

Alfredd16:

Lol no be only X10 na X100. Make una rest abeg. My elder brother was a chemical engineer at dangote before moving to Canada. His salary was not up to 300k with more than 3yrs experience. Don’t say what u are not sure of haba. Nigerians are just funny pple. 🤦🏾

Iyajelili:

I'm replying you because you said we insulted that guy. You are proud and rub it off on other people. Yes, I know there are jobs that pay entry level 350k and more but what brought about this argument before you came into it was the guy saying he's contemplating suicide when a lot of people are jobless. If he's not content with that salary he could just have resigned or move to a better organisation like you pointed out in your discussion. Please stop looking down at people because you don't know tomorrow.

samsard:
Please get the f*ck out, Mr. Proud Under sabi. If you aren't dumb you'd know people actively seek out opportunities even when they earn relatively well. My cousin has worked with a good number of the international NGOs in this country as a consultant or documentary photographer and he tells us he's always applying for things despite that relative success. You undersabi people think 350k is enough to be content and stop seeking new opportunities.

Big Mama, a former colleague with less than 4 years of experience, recently joined KUDA and is currently earning above a million naira. This December, I find myself missing my time in the private sector, as I could have received more than 700k, including the 13th-month bonus and other perks.

Kawusky:


Lol.. Google my name bro. I am umar kawu atolagbe. I am surely not your mate in all ramifications. What experience do you have?

Kawusky:


🤣🤣🤣mr lamba . List 1001 companies wey graduate trainees dey earn 350k after completion in nigerian. We talk with fact and data here not just mouth. I am very sure you are unemployed. Even oil and gas graduate trainee is slightly above 200k - 300k and the percentage is very low like 5/100. The NGOs , international organisation and oil company earn more but the number of available positions compare to number of applicants is outrageous because those jobs are competitive. You sounds like there is job everywhere. Cmon. be realistic and specific. Don't just open mouth like an illiterate. People have gone beyond earning montly salary to entrepreneurs and content creators due to competitions in job market. I am not disputing the facts that there are jobs that pay good money. however, what is the percentage of those slots to applicants. You need to learn about data analytics and review.

I will be waiting for you to list your acclaimed 1001 companies.

Kawusky:


Una don come with una lamba, even some directors salary no reach 350k. Just say that you are making not earn .. normally, 350k salary is for senior positions in nigeria employment sectors . I have a friend that earn 90k montly. But he is making up to 300k per month from runs. The fact that you earn above 350k montly and still sending CV out make it obvious. You need up to 6 - 10 years experience to earn above 350k in a private organisation so what are you saying 🤔. And you can't tell me that you work in a government organisation with over 350k and still sending CVs out. Make una reduce una lying. People dey suffer. Average Nigeria youth earn less than 100k salary. I am saying this with fact.

HitlerGaddafi:

No wonder. Don't worry when you start earning around 130k in lagos. you'll realise its not really different from being jobless.

In the north or some parts of the country, that money might be a bit decent. Infact 130k in a state like kwara is equivalent to earning almost 350k+ in lagos. I worked and lived in kwara some years back. I was earning about 75k then and still balling.

Ex0rrcist:

Blame the devaluation of our currency, not the man trying to make a decent living. That laptop is not less than $600, add importation and you have the reason why this last gen laptop is going for 750k.

Nwaotu10:



You obviously don't know anything about system.
I'm not talking about new one.

That fairly used laptop with such not too impressive configuration shouldn't exceed 250k.

I could find a used Alienware or MSI laptop with a minimum of 4GB graphics card for the same price point.


Tech savvy keeeee you dia

Nwaotu10:
Laptop way no get graphics card you wan sell for this amount??

Big boys keeee you dia

A video has been going viral on twitter which shows a Biafran soldier who referred to himself as General Innocent Orji, Commander in chief of the Armed forces of the state of Biafra threatening President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State.

The video was posted on the Biafran National Television and Radio youtube page. Video starts at the 1:30min mark.

Source:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VluzRqbE-S0

The transcript of the video is as follows:

Greetings to Biafrans all over the world this day, Tuesday 20th of June 2023 .

It is 30 years since the annulment of the election that could have made Mosshood Abiola the president of Nigeria, which also caused the planned riot leading to the destruction of properties and livelihood of the igbo biafrans living in Lagos State and other part of Yoruba land in 1993.

The recent demolition of Alaba International Market and most of igbo biafrans living in Lagos State.
I repeat myself again. The recent destruction of Alaba international market and most of the Igbo Biafrans residing in Lagos State governed by Sanwo Olu is a very big reminder that Igbo Biafrans are not still safe in that part of the country.

I, General innocence Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the state of Biafra want to state expressively that the life of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Igbo Biafrans should not be arbitrarily tampered upon by the administration of President Bola Tinubu AKA Jagaban.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be immediately released as ordered by the court of competent jurisdiction. He must be released.

The distance of Igbo Biafrans from their place of origin should not be a detriment for the enforcement of their basic human rights, freedom of expression and association as constituted by the international law. The Biafran army is mandated to protect the lives of different Army is mandated to protect the lives and properties of Igbos whenever or wherever they are threatened. This is a promise and not a threat.

God bless Biafra! Long live state of Biafra! Long live Biafra National Guard! Long live Biafra professional government! Long live Biafra National Guard!

lolzz when i was 12, i burnt the meat my dad asked me to cook and he told me that all the money being spent on me is going to be a waste. i couldnt get that out from my mind even though he apologised years later.
i was not even permitted to greet males unless visitors,my elder brothers and our pastor, if not my dad would be ranting on how i've become a wayward girl. mind you,i was 12.

Femsyn:
First, you must know that the scenarios you painted are not peculiar to your family alone. Nigerian families have their peculiarities, save for one or two differences.

That said, I would advise your brother not to go ahead with his wedding without their presence. The reason is not for today, but for tomorrow, plus the kind of impression he will give his would be in-laws about his family and indeed himself. This can be used against him in the future. Note that this doesn't necessarily erase his opinion about your parents. Its for his own good.

Finally, like I said before, what you guys went through isn't new. Just persevere until you can be independent and if this will count for anything, I'm particularly glad your parents are in good terms.

Shalom.

Which state has the Igbo man liberated from the yoke of periodic abuja dependency ?
We like to play stupid politics in Africa(blacks), if not OP won't attempt to foòl us here with ethnic junks? Instead of rallying round characters with good morals we prefer ethnic affliations to merit.

I don't even know where they see this figures..

Maybe Amadioha use to bring it to them

Chai see lies from ipob beaureu of statistics

United States’ President Donald Trump described Nigerians as people living in huts which they would not want to return to whenever they visit America, the New York Times reported Saturday.

The paper published accounts of some administration officials who were present at a meeting about the administration’s immigration policy in June.

Mr. Trump has pushed controversial immigration policies since becoming American president in January.

Amongst his first policies was to ban visits from several countries — mostly from the middle east.

The policy has been overturned and upheld by different American courts.

The Times reported that Mr. Trump had a ready-made excuse for almost all the countries his controversial immigration policy targeted.

He said he was banning people from Afghanistan because the country was a terrorist haven.

When asked about why he was restricting people from Haiti, he described them as being infested with AIDS.

On Nigerians, Mr. Trump said they would never “go back to their huts” in Africa, the Times reported, citing two officials who were presented at the meeting held in Mr. Trump’s office but who sought anonymity.
