Kobojunkie: Can the state sustain this? Is this the best you can come up with in the face of this laudable effort? If I may ask, how much is N10,000 into 5000 (assuming there are 5,000 of these elderly persons in the state) on monthly basis? Is it too much for a state to spend on its elderly monthly? 3 Likes |

superior1: Absolute nonsense. Cant these people be at-least creative with what they do with public funds Is it then creative for them to embezzle the funds or employ the aged/ old citizen that do not have the strength to work/walk again? If the funds are not given to the aged to assist them, the funds will be sleeping in someone's foreign account and the aged will be sleeping and die in poverty and nobody will do anything about it. But the Europeans also do same or am I wrong? 1 Like |

I just love the last paragraph. There are too many POOR ELDERS in any state in Nigeria for a select few to be termed O'ELDERS. Anyway, his action is laudable if the list doesn't contain some young thugs' names. I have my reservations though. |

steffans: You didn't answer the question. I did not ask you how much each political office holder is paid each month. This plan does not tell you that they will have a salary reduction in order that this can be sustained. So, again, the question remains can this be sustained. |

damas11111: The problem with many who think like you is that you are quick to rejoice, deferring the thinking aspect to later. Even laudable projects are meaningless at the end of the day if you are unable to sustain them. We all saw last year when many states wailed when the minimum wage was increased by about N10,000. If N10,000 was as easy as you suggest, why do you think they complained and demanded that their allowance be increased in order that they(the states) could meet the new requirement? The question is not on whether states can or should spend on it's elderly but on how sustainable the plan to spend on the elderly is. That is question is asked even here in the US. |

mai gaskiya: Nice one mr governor.i belev our senior citizens deserve some gud welfare package frm d state.but d question is kan d state sustian ds? We should not be asking that question because if we read the article again it is immediately clear that this is one of the efforts Governments must find money to sustain. In fact, it is long overdue and should be adopted throughout Nigeria. Cancel security votes and lavish food/travel/vehicle/accomodation allowances if necessary. I believe fervently in Government being awake to its welfare obligations towards the most vulnerable and needy in society. Laudable effort from Aregbesola. They should ensure they sustain this good precedence. Aregbesola said that the scheme, tagged “O’Elders’’, was aimed at assisting aged persons who could no longer fend for themselves. 1 Like |

Good step in the right direction,i hope it is sustained and not just another cheap political game to win the popularity of the old Pa`s and Ma`am`s of Osun State.We need to take care of the elderly one`s.They are weak today as a result of their struggles to give us a better life just as we are struggling today to take care of our children. |
