Retired Soldiers Protest Over Unpaid Entitlements In Abuja (Photos) by morereb10: 11:27am On Nov 01, 2017
This is an ongoing protest in FCT Abuja. Some retired officers of the Nigeria Army today, being Wednesday 1st November 2017 protested in Abuja, the nation’s capital, over their unpaid entitlements.

The ‘old soldiers,’ believed to be in their 70s and 80s, chanted war songs at the Unity Fountain, Abuja. “We are soldiers, we fought for the nation, we are old now no pension,” the protesters could be heard singing.

The development came two weeks after President Muhammadu Buhari approved the payment of pension to police personnel who served under the defunct Biafran police during the civil war. The protesters insisted that if ex-Biafran police could get their pensions, their case should not be forgotten.

Some inscriptions on their placards read;

‘As ex-Biafran police deserve pension, the ex-Nigerian soldiers also deserve pension benefit. Buhari approve payment to us, please’;

‘President Buhari don’t let us die, we can’t enjoy our benefits in the grave’; ‘Buhari save us from hunger’.

In their bid to cover up the real issues behind the biafra agitations the dullard and his cohorts decided to pay pension of exbiafra policemen and soldiers after so many years of which many of them are dead, forgetting the Nigerian soldiers and policemen owed pensions over decades of which many are also dead.
I am very happy that all this is happening at a time when one of the worst leaders in the history of Nigeria came back to power to see all the evil foundations they laid for future Nigerians.
Even in absentia nnamdi kanu continues to expose the evil deeds of past and present leaders including the dullard in power today.

What Will I Even Say,is There Anything Like Administration In This Zoo Country,which Was Almost Splitted By The Home Of The Rising Imagination.
And Even Imagine 90s And 80s Prostesting Now Under The Spirit Of Jealousy,for What?
PLEASE NIGERIANS,STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF,WE ARE IN MILITRY RULE,AND STOP COMPARING YOURSELVES WITH COUNTRIES IN CIVILIAN RULE LIKE GERMANY,US,CANADA,SPAIN E.T.C WHERE DEMOCRACY SPEAKs.
So In A Nut-shell; HAPPY GOVERNMENT.
