Am just disturbed at the rate at which the pensioneers in Lagos State are being treated all in the name of 'Verification Exercise', It was an eyesore at the Centre (Old Secretariat) yesterday, the queue was extremely long, the officials were scanty and getting angry for nothing at the aged healthy and sick ones that were present,is it not possible to have different centres and year brackets for easy exercise?
Suggestions are welcome please.

Please, moderator, i will appreciate if this makes the front page just for our voices to be heard and yes, my parents were there.

Thanks

Its rather sad the way we treat our senior citizens.

Many forget they will also become old, sooner or later.

We really need to treat these people with respect and dignity they deserve.

Failed government rulling people who don't care. And everyone is praising him @FASHOLA. We haven't learnt anything yes in this nigeria. I went to PH and u need to see what the all mighty and all praised Amechi they decieve port harcourt people. Even in imo state. Rochas is just a scam.

we do not respect our senior citizens here those mlatraetnig tehm hvae forgotten they will be mlatreated likewsie

I also blame the senior citizens for not fixing things while they were there.Other pensioners before them suffered same thing what did they do?They didn't know that one that it would be their turn.That not withstanding their plight should be looked into.

they are not Lagos state Government pensioners, its the FG that does their verification exercise at the Old Secretariat. Its a shame to serve diligently for 30 years and all you get in return is this hardship. May God help this country

JAMB has helped to make biometric scanner available in all areas now, can't they have this verification exercise done from any cyber cafe since the major issue there is biometric capture to help know how many are still living and those that's dead, this will help old ones stroll down to cafe close to them for this verification other than having a secretariat for this. Mehn Nigerian's should move forward. plzz

i think this is a problem in many other countries also

These verification exercise(s) would not be needed if we have a well maintained national identity database, in addition to birth and death records. This is what we will continue to suffer if we lack the basic demographic data in a huge country like Nigeria. I can't really blame Fashola, I'll blame the rotten system.

What's Fashola or Lagos state got to do with this?

Lack of data or credible data is a major problem in Nigeria, but then you have the same people complaining about the registration exercise in Lagos state.

I pity young aspiring civil servant, it is good to serve your country, but not when it does'nt care about you; i love my country, but my love is not blind.

take dat: they are not Lagos state Government pensioners, its the FG that does their verification exercise at the Old Secretariat. Its a shame to serve diligently for 30 years and all you get in return is this hardship. May God help this country

OP: Why not edit the topic, since u made a mistake??

fashola is working now.

ATM abeg give me moni joooooooooooooooor

Eko Ile: What's Fashola or Lagos state got to do with this?

Are you kidding me?
Lagos and Fashola have everything to do with it.

If you doubt me, I urge you to read Vanguard on-line news of 23 February 2011, titled "Lagos begins pensioner's verification exercise"
Just Google the title and read at your pleasure. You will discover that the smooth and hassle-free exercise which Fashola promised since February 2011, and now "HAPPILY ATTESTED TO" by this poster, is still going on till today.

@ poster, Just bear in mind that what your father is experiencing in Lagos is not perculiar to Lagos. That's all I can say.

My brother you need to drink SMA progress to today! As if the senior citizens can fix things while they were there? Pensions in Nigeria is wacked.

Those involved should expect worst situation during their time. law of kamman will surely apply.
