Uruguayan outspoken ex-rebel turned president, Jose Mujica, has rejected his pension when he went into voluntary retirement on 13th of August this year.

The 83-year-old who took a senatorial seat in 2015 after the end of his term in 2015 chose to retire early due to exhaustion despite his term coming to an official end in 2020.

Mr. Mujica was termed as one of the world’s pauper president due to his modest lifestyle which he always led even before he ran for president. During his tenure, he donated 90% of his then income of $12000 per month salary and refused to live in the presidential palace and continued to live in his farmhouse.

His most prized possession was a Volkswagen blue beetle which he refused a $1Million offer for in 2014 claiming he needed the car to transport his three-legged dog.

The widely popular capitalist married current Uruguay’s first female Vice-President Lucia Topolansky in 2005. His presidency mainly worked towards the concerns of the regular people of Uruguay where he helped take down poverty levels from 40% to 13%.

This Man is the Epitome of Integrity, Spartan, Puritan and non corrupt leader not one Old Dullard from Daura that rather sink his country into severe poverty, heavy corruption and killing Field.

BuhariAPC would rather want us believe Buhari is like this Man.

You can't find such man in Africa. From our religious leaders to our political leaders, I haven't seen.
Africa is yet to find the doctor who cured other continents of their ailment and left her with a chronic hunch back.

Eye service

Gone are the days when a good name is better than riches

Now, a billion will immediately gives you a good name

What this president just did is not an act of humility

But an act of desperation to look honest and humble to his citizens and the world at large

I hate poor mentality

This guy is something else. He rejected his pension, donated 90% of his salary to charity, refused to live in splendour at the Presidential palace and lived in his farm house. The only car he owns is his old Volkswagen

OMG! IM NOT LIKELY TO MEET SUCH A MAN AGAIN IN MY LIFE TIME.

Make una come see a man of integrity and honesty,a saintly politician not devil incarnate who is stinking in corruption and bigotry that calls himself Buhari.After spending 14 days in UK with public funds he have the face to say he is back to jail those who stole from Nigeria.
Amaechi said he doesn't like money because he does not smoke or drink but he lives in multi billion naira castle and fly private jets.

He is an atheist. How can he make heaven; when he don't believe in Jesus? We Christians are the only ones going to heaven because Christ has washed away our sins. Remember, Jesus said: ''I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me''. John 14:6.
