[quote author=Militude post=56870514]A retired worker with the Benue State Local Government Service, Mr. Gabriel Nomsha, committed suicide because he couldn't afford to feed his family and pay his children's school fees.

The Chairman of Coalition of Local Government Pensioners,’ Mike Vembe, who disclosed this on Wednesday, during the peaceful demonstration at the Government House Makurdi, said Mr Nomsha hanged himself a week ago due to frustration.

"One of our members, Gabriel Nomsha, from Gwer West Local Government Area, committed suicide last week as a result of poverty and frustration."
He explained that after the deceased had been screened, he came with the hope of collecting his pension but was disappointed when he wasn’t paid.

At least 2,000 local pensioners from 23 local government areas of the state on Tuesday slept at the gate of the Government House in Makurdi to protest the non-payment of their pension to the tune of N1.1 billion.

The pensioners arrived the government House in the afternoon but could not see the governor so they decided to pass the night at the gate of government house.

[/quote ] The Governors are wicked to pensioners and workers. They refuse to pay their arrears of pensions and salaries and they are focussing in doing projects where they can embezzle the money. The Fed. Govt gave them bailout money several times to clear arrears of pensions and salaries but instead they diverted the money else where. They forgot nemesis, the father that gave them knowledge of doing project that 'from project you can embezzle money' is dead and is now facing the rancour in heaven. The present Governors will face wrath of God very soon. Let them dancing their life like osun state governor, they will soon see
