Guys I have an issue that puzzle's me but I hope Nairalanders are able to help cos this confuses me a lot.

Around the world countries pay benefits to the weak and needy, infact the most vulnerable.
In our own society we have chosen to pay our own benefits to ex-military rulers.
I am not going to bore you with how ex-rulers have amarsed so much wealth, in fact the least amongst them are millionaires.
The question is in a society where there is no welfare scheme for the country's most vulnerable what is the rationale behind paying benefits to ex-military rulers.
It might even be more disturbing to realize that low rank military officers may not benefit from this scheme.

Please people can someone explain what this means.?

you better not let seun catch you weak and vulnerable?

According to our resident Capitalists these people are "just lazy". Social benefit they say ruin society

The government cant form a welfare scheme so basically they are using the normal easier route of work-pension.

The issue here is not how justified Benefit scheme is, it is why start a benefit scheme and the first beneficiaries will be millionaires??//
Dont get me wrong I think being a Soldier is a very noble think, and personally at some point in my career I thought of being a soldier. I am not kicking against pensions for ex-soldiers which this ex-military rulers are entitled to and are already enjoying. The point here is that they have designed a special benefit scheme for them which I don't understand the rational behind that. Why oppress the poor and pay benefits to millionaires??/ Is this not the height of wickedness by the Nigerian State.??/
