InvestmentWhat's the ultimate good of Pension? by xristos(op): 11:13pm On Jan 20, 2020
Hello all, I have been having different thoughts and hearsays about the real benefit of the Nigerian pension scheme. I need some clarity as well.
Some people have said (which I have verified) that incase you are out of job upto 3months, you can apply for 25% of your contribution after which you cannot collect again until never.
Some say you can start collecting after the age of 60...even at that..what portion will you be collecting?

Some even say the institution will pay u till you die irrespective of your contribution...

I'm kinda confused...how exactly does the pension scheme benefit a contributor..and how does it work... can next of kin also have access?
Let's even say ure retired and old...can one exhaust the collection or it's infinite??

Thanks

CrimeSenate Approve "Death Penalty" For Hate Speech Against The Government. by xristos(op): 8:07am On Nov 15, 2019
Say Negative thing against the Government online & pay with your Life ��

In case you don’t know the Senate has approved a “Death penalty” against anyone who says anything against the Government on Social media.

The punishment for saying anything against the Government is precisely “Death by Hanging“.

At this age and time, what happen on Social mediae shouldn’t bother any serious Government but we are all in this already, May God help us �

To those savage people on Twitter, please be warned, if you don’t want to end your life in a gruesome way, stop those tweet that might land you in problem.

This is Nothing But Slavery

Since the Government has decided to go back to the days of Slavery indirectly, we all should just stay mute in order not to land into any trouble.

What’s Your Take on The “Death Penalty” Against Hate Speech Offenders?
PoliticsANALYSIS: The Real Revolution To Occur As DSS Fails To Release Sowore by xristos(op): 8:25pm On Nov 11, 2019
"Someday, the worker must seize political power to build up the new organization of labour; he must overthrow the old politics which sustain the old institutions, if he is not to lose Heaven on Earth, like the old Christians who neglected and despised politics" - Karl Marx

Omoyele Sowore, a political activist and publisher of Sahara Reporter was arrested on August 3 by State Security Service (SSS) prior to his #RevolutionNow protest. Although, many have argued that Mr Sowore was not arrested but kidnapped in the dead hours of the night by Nigeria's secret police. The revolution protest was to express Nigerians displeasure against the challenges rocking the country. The challenges include lack of potable water, decay infrastructures, and most importantly,elites corruption among others.

Despite Mr Sowore's arrest, or better still kidnap, the protest still held in 21 cities across Nigeria on August 5. The Nigeria government argument is that Mr Sowore was planning to forcefully hijack power from the incumbent. After keeping him in detention for several months, he was eventually arraigned and charged for treasonable felony, terrorism and abuse of President Muhammadu Buhari. Legal experts have said the case did not have substance. There was a court order that asked that Mr Sowore be released but the SSS as known for being notorious in disobeying court orders refused to grant the Sahara Reporter Publisher and his co-accused, Olawale Bakare known as Mandate bail. 

When the duo prosecution proper started, another judge, Ojukwu of another Federal High Court granted another bail to the duo. Angered by the bail conditions considered too stringent, Mr Sowore through his lawyer, Femi Falana approached the court for bail variation which was granted. Sowore and Mandate have long met their bail conditions but the secret police wouldn't free them. Could it be a case that they are enjoying Sowore's company? No, that cannot be the case. It is the routine and norm that happen in this administration. The norm to continue to detain folks granted bail by the courts. The norm of not respecting laws and order.

It is well understood that the government is scared of revolution basically because they are myopic. They felt revolution means forceful change of government. No, that is not the revolution Sowore and his cohorts were/are demanding. He was simply asking for checks and balances which Nigeria lack since 20 years we started on the path of civil rule. There's no reason why a government should be scared of revolution if truly it knows that the masses belong to them and the masses cannot be for them except they attend to their plights.

The same government finding the war against insecurity and other challenges difficult quickly believe that the purveyors of revolution (w)are brutal. No reasonable government will expect citizens to keep quiet. That was why John Stuart Mill says: "As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing to battle against oppressors". Revolution according to Micheal Lenin happen when two conditions have been met, "first, the ruling class can no longer carry on ruling in the same old way, and second, the working class won't let them." 

Revolution can either be bloody or bloodless but that depends on the reaction of the government to its people's request. This is a country where citizens are killed on a daily basis. This is a country where the average person can only eat rice on Christmas and Sallah days. This is a country where our minimum wage is far below what is meant to feed a prisoner in America on a daily basis and yet the Federal Government through its agent, State Security Service believed that the continued detention of Sowore will not eventually lead to revolution.

While Sowore's #RevolutionNow protest was to send a signal to the world that Nigerians are ready to send the failed leaders out of the system, the revolution that will come for his continued detention will expose how judiciary is not an arm of government in Nigeria. How the judiciary is merely used by the executive arm to victimise prisoners of conscience like Sowore, Agba Jalingo, Dayidata and others.

The government must know that one day the kids of the poor will resist when they understand that their country is the capital of world poverty because of the corrupt practices of their leaders. There will be a revolution when citizens fully understand that our lawmakers are lawbreakers, perhaps 'legislathieves'. Folks will storm the streets with stones that day they realise that their president, governors, chairmen and cabinet members are mere 'executhieves'. There will be war that moment Nigerians demand a better judiciary rather than the 'judisharing' we run today. 

The kids you refused to put in school, the kids whose parents die because Federal Government budgeted N2000 for the health of their parents when billions are budgeted for president travels will one day grow to locate the kids of the rich - they will terrorise and kill them.

Federal government is scared of revolution but the continued detention will eventually lead to revolution. A socialist once said that "if the working class don't push revolution to a successful conclusion, the old order will re-impose itself and the whole sorry mess will start over again and so, it will continue indefinitely until they either succeed in transforming society in their interests, or it ends in the common ruin of the contending classes and perhaps the end of the human race."

Free Sowore and other prisoners of conscience now!

PoliticsSowore: Court's Order For Activist's Release No Longer Has Life - DSS by xristos(op): 3:39pm On Sep 30, 2019
- The Department of State Service (DSS) has said that the Federal High Court's order for the release of Omoleye Sowore is no longer valid considering the current arraignment
- The DSS also denied claims that it denied Sowore and his co-defendant access to their lawyers
- However, A. Olumide, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who is holding brief for Femi Falana, Sowore's counsel, said that the defendant was denied access to his lawyer.

The Department of State Service (DSS) has denied claims that the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, and his co-defendant was not allowed access to their lawyers.
The DSS denial followed an allegation by A. Olumide, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) who is holding brief for Femi Falana, Sowore's counsel, that the defendants were not allowed access to their lawyers prior to their arraignment on Monday, September 30.

The counsel for the DSS, Hassan Liman, said, contrary to Olumide's claim, the charge sheet was made available to the defendants on September 20, which is 10 days ago.
- DSS Liman also said that it will be a disservice to the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) to say that the prosecution failed to allow the defendants access to their lawyers prior to arraignment. He also noted that the judgement of the court which the defence counsel had referred to in his allegation was made by Justice Taiwo Taiwo, pending arraignment.
Liman said: "With respect to the defendant's arraignment, this order no longer has any life." He also accused the defence and their counsel of playing to the gallery and using the press against the DSS.

Furious over Liman's submission, Olumide said his colleague gave wrong information to the court.
He also said there was no interaction between the defendants and their counsel prior to the arraignment. He added that orders of the court must be obeyed before anyone can come to the same court for other benefits.

Olumide said that it was only late Sunday, September 29, that the defence team, through the pages of newspapers, found out that Sowore has allegedly been served papers for arraignment. "It was also on the pages of newspapers that my learned colleague, Falana, got to know that his client has been 'served'. "They are the ones running to the media and playing to the gallery, my lord," a seemingly angry Olumide told the court.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the DSS on Friday, September 27, stopped Sowore's lawyers from accessing its Abuja office. The counsels were at the office to present documents showing that he met the bail conditions for the treason and money laundering charges that were levelled against him.

PoliticsSowore Not Yet Released By DSS - Wife Leads Anti-buhari Protest In UN by xristos(op):
The Department of State Services was holding on to detained political activist, Omoyele Sowore, on Tuesday night, despite the order by Justice Taiwo Taiwo that he should be released and handed over to his lawyer, Femi Falana.

“The liberty of all Nigerians high or low, poor or rich is guaranteed by the constitution. It’s for this end that I’m of the view that the defendant ought to be released forthwith,” Justice Taiwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja said.

The DSS insisted that Sowore must face its new 7-count charge of treason, money laundering and cyberstalking Buhari, which it filed on Friday, on the eve of the expiration of the 45-day court sanctioned detention of Sowore, who is also the publisher of Sahara Reporters and a presidential candidate in the last election.


His lawyer, Femi Falana told CNN on Tuesday that his client is being held illegally and accused the government of bringing up trumped-up charges against him.

“We are saying the machinery of the state cannot be used to harass political opponents,” Falana said.

DSS spokesman Peter Afunnaya told CNN the case was before the court and declined to make further comment.

Sowore was arrested on 2 August in Lagos, days before #revolutionnow march that he organised against the Buhari administration. On 8 August, the DSS brought him to court to ask for an order to detain him for 45 days, pending investigation for alleged treason.

Femi Falana (SAN), leading Sowore’s legal team on Tuesday told the court that the order issued on August 8, 2019 permitting the DSS to hold the activist for 45 days, expired on September 21, while appealing to the court to issue a consequential order releasing his client.

DSS’ lawyer, G.O Agbadua, said that since the charges had been filed against the activist on September 20, it was lawful to continue to keep him until arraignment.

But Falana said, “Filing of charges cannot metamorphose into a detention order. A citizen cannot detain a citizen in anticipation of arraignment.”

Agbadua had earlier withdrawn the DSS’ application asking for the extension of the period of the detention of Sowore for further 20 days.

Agbadua’s request for the withdrawal of the said application was based on the fact that charges had been filed against the activist.

Meanwhile in New York, Sowore’s wife, Ope, led protesters to the United Nations Plaza where President Muhammadu Buhari is attending the 74th UN General Assembly, to mount pressure for her husband’s freedom.

“It is very sad to see the cause of action this has taken in the past one and a half months, especially for someone that was calling for a change for the better in Nigeria,” she said.

Ope Sowore told CNN she has been allowed only two phone conversations with her husband since his arrest last month. The journalist was supposed to be in Nigeria for two weeks in July and their two children miss their father, she said.

“It’s been almost two months since he walked out the door. Children are resilient in times like this, but they miss their father and are really hoping for his safe return,” she said.
