woooooooooooaaaahh. Just saw fast n Furious 6. Epic is the word

I think few people just get it wrong by trying to read "cultural" meaning to certain English words. In Birmingham UK, the usual way of greeting people is by using either of these "You alright?" "Are You alright?".

Imagine that?....lol. Bet you don't want to greet a visitor from Nigeria that way.

Love itself is a decision @OP, so you decide.......

Hi guys,

I have an aunt that just retired and she's kinda confused about which method of pension fund disbursement should she go for? The most common method in Nigeria is the programmed withdrawal in which the RSA balance is pro-rated for a specified number of years (usually 15yrs + or -) based on some life expectancy statistics, the relations can also access this fund should the retiree die at any point during the payment period.

The other method is purchasing annuity which is somewhat not clear to us.

The Dilemma

The bone of contention is that he's been advised to purchase annuity from licensed insurance companies but they are telling him the payment period is for life as against the specified number of years for the other disbursement method and that in case of death, the relations cannot access the remainder of the funds.

She's got a good sum in the RSA account and she's planning to take a lump sum between 30 - 40% while leaving the balance for annuity or programmed withdrawal.

What we want to know is the pros n cons involved in annuity as it seems to be a risk on one hand should there be a early passing on of the retiree while on the other hand it'll be a worthwhile investment if the retiree lives longer.

Will it be financially wise to purchase an annuity with 5m Naira? what will be her monthly returns and what advantages does annuity seems to offer as against the usual programmed withdrawals


Excuse my naïveté if any

That's one of dem nollywood babes I reaaaaallly like.....asin see those lips...yeepa

haaahaaa, life don spoil for UK oo. see POLISH babe dey insult a supposed Nigerian .

RIP mehnn, This guy brings every member of my family together by listening to love zone......u'll be missed.

@OP, read through this topic https://www.nairaland.com/876626/crazy-brother-law-gullible-sister

Home town is history o, been there only once. Popc had to leave the town unexpectedly leaving behind his first house he built in his life and a clinic. Those guys can be funny tho, they still come to lag to source for funds buh dey can neva get to know where we live not to talk of seeing us d kids and mom, pops will only have them meet him in his office. Those guys don do us strong thing oo buh guess they are changed now.

I think some parents don't know the impact of WORdS they speak, whether you are religious or not the words you speak has POWER. Using my parents as an example I honestly can't remember a single time they've used abusive words on us. When you greet my father in the morning, the first word that comes out his mouth his "May GoD bless you and keep you, may he make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you" even now that we are all grown and not living together when you call him, those words come first. Not trying to portray them perfect buh those words/prayers goes a loooong way.
