So, tell me how these people and the Nigerian soccer team of the 90’s won’t vote Tinubu for a second term. All they know is he was the man on seat when their promises were finally met.

They are the ones that wrecked the airways. Thinking they can spend the money forever. While they were wrecking the place that will feed them after retirement, others were also stealing their retirement funds. Wherever you are, do your best so that, that workplace can last and pay your entitlements when you are too old to work. This applies in all areas of government. If we do the right thing, the money will go round and be available.

They worked when Naira had value but are to be paid when the currency has lost all its worth. Unfortunate!

Another case of corruption under Buhari.

Now that Buhari and Abba Kyari are dead, can Kemi Adeosun reveal the identities of those who cornered the money released by Buhari in 2017 to pay Nigerian Airways pensioners ? Who were the men who ambushed her when Buhari was sick and in London ?

What was the amount diverted?

The EFCC should investigate this because some people cashed out on the sweat of innocent retirees, causing them pain, sorrow and untimely death.

Trust pension at your own risk.

Since 2001 dem still dey owe my papa him pension money.
Just appreciate good things in others first before spewing the obvious. Tinubu may not be doing well, but whenever he does well, appreciate him. That's all. You be pessimist nih?

I had the same thoughts. Those workers were very vile and wicked. I have heard of a story where they denied someone boarding just because they were not bribed until a popular super eagles footballer at that time stepped in.

Those workers ruined the airline.
Re: 22 Years After, FG Approves Pensions For Retired Nigeria Airways Workers by Jayhome24: 5:21pm On Jul 23, 2025
Yet Tinubu not working to those losers and the funniest thing is those losers will say its nothing but when some ex president were in power they did do the payment only Buhari did part of it.

Thank God at least finally they are getting paid like some of them are already in the grave.

Bit by bit we will get there?

Thanks for the link bro. Majority of the people that killed Nigeria Airways will be everywhere calling Nigeria youths names.

After 22 year's of waiting.
Is possible some of their Comrade's may have died.
Nigeria is not worth dieing for or sacrificing for.
I pity people who give 35 years of their life for Civil service.
The Nigeria system does not appreciate hard work.
Become a militant or a political thug, they will give you huge contract's running into billions.
Those Nigeria Airways staff don't deserve pension from Gov. If I were the president, I'll not pay them shishi.

They're the same people that ran and grounded the airline.

Their senior staff were going to London with their family every weekend with just #400 then.

With 32 Aircraft in 1980, Nigeria Airways had only one plane left in its fleet in 1999.

Did you say mismanagement? All of them were guilty in one way or the other especially those guys in the Store.

Many new engines were bought into the store but these people were selling them to private airlines owners

Lagos to Abuja route, Nigeria Airways would deliberately delayed till like 10.00 am after all private airlines must have packed all the passengers to Abuja before it would now leave by 10 am with half full or empty.

They killed the airline and they don't deserve pension.

Nigeria Airways way plying many routes in Africa and Europe but these people grounded it and now they want pension.

I strongly believe they don't deserve to be on Nigeria pensioner's list.

If it is to dish out money to themselves (politicians), they don't waste time on that.
At the detriment of the common man.
We wouldn't be here if your GEJ paid them when he was president

Most of these pensioners are complicit in the grounding of the airline. Ticket fraud/rackets, free flight to staff, friends and families and outright frauds. I was in the aviation industry at the latter days of the airline and I saw through all that's wrong with the defunct national carrier.

I the buhari administration approved it...... propaganda is not good at all
Why not watch and see if it will be paid or not before you call it propaganda. You guys are misusing the the word.

What happened to PDP's 16 years that was closer to the event? Even with the flourishing economy of that time?

Recycled propaganda.

Did Buhari not say the same thing about this matterhuh


https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-45629987.amp
You are a false news peddler. Which part of the Buhari part you didnt see in the news above.


...............

That same year, former President Muhammadu Buhari approved ₦22 billion for partial payment. However, union records indicate that N36 billion remained unpaid, leaving many retirees in financial distress. Some passed away while waiting for their pensions.


.............


Op block this one, this how the busy spreading lies and pushing narrative

WTH are you talking about, buhari administration televised it, newspapers printed the reports and this administration is talking about it.

PDP didn't even play games like the way buhari administration did it.

What a country! I hope they'll pay them with the prevailing exchange rate. If not then it's pure wickedness
They will pay them DBS(Defined Pension Scheme) not CPS 2004 (Contributory Pension Scheme). The bonds interest of CPS would have given them more money 🤦. DBS will give them 20K😩
