Na all this nonsense pension wey Peter Obi go stop when he comes to power.

But because it’s a tricky one, he might just slash it into 4 and leave them with one while they remaining 3 will be channeled to something productive.

Yeah, I believe he can do it

He is the only past government officer that is not taking pension from state govt

But can he win?

If I may ask,what exactly do they do to earn that huge amount of money?, this is one the reasons why some takes contesting for number seat as a do or die affair.former presidents my foot.

Youth my foot,we dey here dey kill Ourself

I don't like reading articles like this that will spoil my day.

Nearly 190 Million Nigerians dey cry of hunger but less than one hundred Nigerians dey share billions for making the 190 million Nigerians hungry and poor.

What it means is that the 190 million of us are paying the very people that made us hungry , poor and jobless billions of naira for making us hungry and poor. No be JUJU BE THAT? !!

E dey turn belle no be lie.
The average Nigerian has a weak mind. We ought to be stoning their cars when they drive by but instead fools will be chanting their names.

What our leaders are doing is simply copying the European format. The Europeans came to take us as slaves and then exploited and killed us by the thousands through colonization. After doing all these, we still ALLOW them own the best houses and treat them like Gods till date!

I understand that revolution takes times but I'm just absolutely confused by the way Africans love their oppressors. The political class in Nigeria are the new Europeans!

Helpfromabove1:
Politics is a juicy business in nigeria , that why everyone want to become president even for a day

Even though they know they can’t deliver

. m even tinubu is collecting pension as a former governor... that is why he wants to be president...so he still collect pension as a former president... nawaoooo...lot of greedy politcians

Atiku, tinubu collecting pension and still want to be president so they collect person as former president... nawaoooo.. greedy politcians

13.8 billion cannot reposition university...especially if the university is as large as UNN, ABU or UI. That's ust approx 31m dollars. Meanwhile Harvard spends something like 6 billion dollars per annum.

Enginering labs...need more than 13.8 billion...if they are doing high end R and D.

Hospital? Tertiary style...60 m dollars...twice the 13.8 billion.

At least, there will be improvements

mrkings84:
And the national cake continues

...the politicians getting richer everyday, while the people that voted for them getting poorer... putting the people in poverty hunger hardship due to bad goverance... nigerians have to be wise

It is really not JUJU, it is MUMU. The day Nigerians stand up and say OUR MUMU DON DO, it will stop!

Not to the point where we would have world class universites....we need much more.

Oga make una dey get shame for once.

are u okay?

You are a mature, responsible adult. It is a shame you can't act like one.

13.8 Billion can do alot in education and health.

It can't. It isn't just building things..its keeping them well maintained and upgraded....and at the end we need far far more than that. Like a budget of trillions of naira.

That money can build 6 standard cottage hospitals in all regions

A standard cottage hospital for one region would cost at least three times that. If you want it well equipped, that is.

That money can build access in some communities

Maybe.

For your information ...13.8 billion can reposition 2 federal universities to world class standard

Can renovate 14 unity schools

Can build 14 nursing schools

Can build 7 malls

Can build 7 general hospitals

Can update 14 engineering laboratories

2000 40Hp tractors ...almost 3 tractors by LGA

I can go on and on

No one needs to be told before we all realise that we are doomed in this Nation. Just imagine the analysis you did up there. And most of Civil Servants that worked for 35 years, they didn’t or haven’t paid a dime to them.

It’s over for us

Tinubu case is more than money he get more than a enough money from lagos and south west he just mainly wants to fulfill his personal ambitions of wanting to be a president

They're still paying them pension after all the money they stole

ecolime:
You are being mischievous with your headline. The pension covers hundreds of people. I don't like these folks but hey, it's their entitlements, let's stop whipping up sentiments and be reasonable please.


A total of N13,805,814,220 has been proposed for the payment of pensions to former Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Heads of State, Chiefs of General Staff, retired heads of service, permanent secretaries, as well as retired heads of government agencies and parastatals in the 2023 fiscal year.

What is the entitlement of the common man?

And the likes of Obasanjo will collect the pension if given? These are people shouting cut the cost of governance, they should live by example by rejecting the pension and tell the FG what they want the money be used for and see to the end

I expect elder statesman Obasanjo to write a letter against this but we all know better

Iamthoney:
Why the Op they selective? Why we no see Abacha and Yar’adua name? Does it mean Gej go chop double payment sake of say he’s the only former vice and president on the list? Wey Abacha deputy they? Him no qualify to chop from this largesse?


Indirectly na we the masses they still pay these privilege people despite the hunger and starvation and suffering and trials and tribulations they put us through.


Nothing spoil sha, no matter how e hard reach for this corntree my next 50th generation no go beg for food or money cos me don secure their futures

Abacha and Yar Adua are late so how will they collect pension, did you see Shagari name there.

planetx:
Abacha and Yar Adua are late so how will they collect pension, did you see Shagari name there.

So are you telling me they don’t have families? Or you wanna tell me they have paid off their families? What about Abacha’s deputy? As the Vice when Yar’Adua was still active, will Gej still be collecting pension as an ex Vice President?

[quote author=yomi531 post=117772851]I see nothing wrong with the payments for Former Presidents and their Vice. Before the Obj govt or so started the payments, Past Presidents like Shagari were living like paupers. It won't be nice to see my Gej or another Former president feeding from hand to mouth abeg. My problem is with state govs. Theirs should be stopped or provisions for cars and other fringe benefits should be cut off.[/quote
