Good news!

Sad though that the man is reaping the fruits in his later years!

Adviser on what ? After how many years ? Anyway better late than never. They would have repaint the man house in Ibadan to green white green, like they usually do every independence day.

What the other 'better' Nigeria past leaders couldn't do.

The man deserves it .

So GEJ is the only president in Nigeria that remembers the old man , eh? Who says GEJ is not a leader that cares. Well done, mr presido.

Nonybb: Seriously?

What salary are we talking about here? Special adviser's wage or something else? Who ensures the salary is for life as the old man must have got similar promise in the past which elapsed with the tenure of the giver?
The free flat is welcome, but if its not in Ibadan, the man's base, going to Abuja in the twilight of his life is double wahala.

MrKnowitall: Lol the flag is green white green...how does he deserve a life time salary? The man draw two lines and put green crayon on the left, white in the middle, and green on the right, and said whatever...I'm done. Nigerian leaders are tooooo irresponsible with money. The man should have gotten paid for the job he did and that should have been the end of it.

MrKnowitall u called yourself Irony.

Nonybb: Seriously?

WHAT DA PHUCK IS WRONG WIV THAT

NICE ONE BRO JO

Since the man is already an old man i will suggest his numerous wives and children should continue collecting the pension after his death so that they will not lack amala and ewedu in their houshold.

Nice development...The man was so abandoned that i was beginning to think he was dead.

When D Man Is Abt To Die?

pontirock: When D Man Is Abt To Die?

yeh..when the guy is close to the grip of the grim.sha its a welcome development..tho its a shame to all past leaders that failed to acknowledge him.

GEJ till 2019
