A retired school principal in Imo State, Mr. Stephen Nnadi, has reportedly committed suicide. He reportedly took his life following the failure of government to pay his pensions and gratuity.

The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Orlu, Most Rev. Bennett Okoro, announced the pensioner’s death in an emotion-laden 85-page presidential address, delivered during this year’s synodOkoro said, “A former school principal, Stephen Nnadi, who retired from the Imo State school system last December, committed suicide last week.”

The cleric further disclosed that the late retired school principal had reportedly complained on several occasions that life was becoming increasingly difficult and unbearable for him since he retired last year from the state school system.

“The reason was that he had not been paid pension and gratuity since retirement and could not take care of his family and he felt he was a failure,” Okoro added.

Okoro equally narrated how another suicide bid was averted in the state, following his intervention, even as he gave a graphic detail of how the jobless and frustrated man visited and pointedly told him (Okoro) that he was going to hang himself.

The Archbishop recalled that after prayer and counseling, the man was later given some money and food items, even as he maintained that joblessness and hunger were his major worries.

Okoro therefore appealed to the Imo State Government to not only pay the pensioners, but to also drop any idea of asking the senior citizens to sign off part or all their entitlements.

He suggested that if the current administration was not able to pay them, the financial burden should be left for the next administration.

Oh R.I.P Our Leader will not see this o

Hilarious: Wife caught by in-laws hiding secret lover under bed(Photo/video)

Our problem in Igboland is not Buhari, it's not Tinubu, it's not Yorubas, it's not Hausas, it is our very own people.

Someone like TA Orji stole Abia State blind and he was given the chieftaincy title of Ochendo Ndigbo in Anambra.

Look at the wickedness going on in Imo State where Rochas is just behaving like Pharaoh. Imagine if we had governors like Ambode, Fayose, Amosun and more Obianos in the East.

How can Rochas be lavishing millions on Christmas decorations and pensioners remain unpaid? Biafra or no Biafra, this madness and wickedness must stop.

na wa oo

Crime rate all over the world is high. Things happen everywhere.

But in Nigeria, ours happen most times because the elite trample on the right of the masses.

By law, this man should have access to his pension after serving his motherland, it is his right. But No. One 30 something year old administrator will connive with politicians to rob his father's mate of his earnings.

It's not about Biafra or Arewa or Odùduwà, there are only two tribes in Nigeria, the elite, (political class) and the masses.

The elite (political class) incite the masses to fight against themselves using religion and ethnicity as an excuse while they feed fat on the common wealth.

I know retired teachers in Lagos, who're currently very hungry. They retired about 3 years ago and they're yet to get a dime for their 35 years of service.

Suicide is nt d way

The yeye governor will be busy shouting "my people, my people" up and down, meanwhile, the wicked soul within him will be saying "una go die, una go die"

Nawa o

My governor my governor

Why going like that

Why not get a gun go to government house shoot people and then shoot yourself

suicide is never an option. only God knows what he had gone through before taking such alternative... Nigeria is a failed state.

If only ipob and massob can channel thier aggressions towards useless SE govs and politicians

LET YOUR OBSERVATIONS BE A PIVOT POINT FOR YOUR STRUGGLES AND KEEPING A STRAIGHT MIND..

ALL THESE PENSIONERS ALWAYS ACTING FRUSTRATED AT NOT BEING PAID THEIR PENSION..........


WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG AND AGILE, GO TO THEM FOR ADMINISTRATIVE HELP WITH ANY ISSUE, THEY WILL ASK YOU FOR BRIBE OR DELIBERATELY FRUSTRATE YOU.


NOW THAT THEY ARE OLD AND EXPECTING THEIR PENSION, WHY ARE THEY THEN COMPLAINING WHEN THEY RECEIVE THE SAME TREATMENTS THEY ALWAYS DISHED OUT TO OTHERS


THE LESSONS FROM THE PRESENT CONDITIONS OF OUR PENSIONERS IS FOR THE PEOPLE THERE TODAY TO DO UNTO OTHERS AS THEY WOULD WANT OTHERS TO DO UNTO THEM LATER IN THEIR LIVES.

no need to check any name here, this is a very sad occurrence and there is no need to be callous here, be sensitive, may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. multiple streams of income in conjunction with a learned skill is the way to go in this present day Nigeria, and saving for the rainy day. smh
