The PTAD "IAMALIVE" solution is an online platform for pensioners to periodically confirm that they are alive so that they can continue to receive their monthly pension.

How can you be asking the already old, tired and worn-out pensioners to start going about and be looking for where they could register their "proof of life" status with such strenuous processes attached? Unless, of course the sole aim is to kill these hapless old men and women before their time; imagine, grandpapas and mamas running helter and scatter, looking for where they can be registered in their localities.

I don't see the rationale of asking that they register their proof of life statuses; capture their faces and download biometric capture software to take their fingerprints, when you don’t take into cognizance the peculiarity of people’s situation, location and conditions. I have received several calls from friends, colleagues and clients on how to go about the process. These are people who have been verified previously. How many 70-80years old citizens know or have access to the demanded facilities. Most cybercafés in town would have to get the requirements right in order to be able register a verified pensioner, if possible.

The process, as I understand it was meant to curb incessant journeys for physical verification, since physical visit to the pension offices has killed more pensioners and rendered many distraught and worse off than before (Read news), but is there no better way to consider the plight of these older citizens who have served the country in one capacity or the other and make the process simpler for them? Why make things more difficult for these old folks? It seems the IAMALIVE initiative is created to discourage /disenfranchise the pensioners rather than give them their due benefits, which is really nothing compared to the costs of living in present day Nigeria. Lack of 2k for drugs has killed many old pensioners. This is sad and bad! I sometimes wonder, Do these people have it at the back of their minds that they will be retired one day and go through or even worse treatments in future? I doubt! They may have “amassed” enough to last a thousand years than be bothered with what others pass through today.
