Shey na dem dey back the government? After retirement it gonna be either they evict you from your home or your name is missing from Ijabode list.
Exactly. They are celebrating. They fotget that El rifai can still go demolish that new house giving some stúpid excuse.

So if COAS Buratai did not come to aid this man, the KASG were more than happy to make an 85 years old man homeless shocked. Hmmmm, may God not put us as the mercy of our enemies sad

That is part of the corruption. Where did he get a 3 bedroom to give? Is it legal? Nigeria & Cirruotion na 5 & 6.
Ignorance is truly a disease. Apart from the fact that the Nigerian Army has a provision for welfare for its officers (both active and retired), do you want to tell me that the COS is not buoyant enough to build a 3 bedroom bungalow and present to someone free of charge? Try and acquire some brain please.

What if the veteran is hell rufai's father? Would he have done what he did?
El Rufai is a demon in human form and will never get to that man's age in life. May God bless Buratai and his family.

He will be sad in war front for this gesture.
Re: Evicted 85-year-old Retired Soldier Gets New Apartment (photo) by manduwem(m): 8:04pm On Sep 01, 2020
OP, me I applaud the gesture but the question that hasn't been asked remains...
Who will pay the rent when the current one expires?
I didn't see it in your post. Abi the man must die before then?
If you ask me a room & parlour would have sufficed so he can pay from his pension (because I didn't hear any mention of his family).

Stop this public show if ignorance , the internet never forgets, your children may find this some day and be ashamed of you.

The army has provision for welfare....

Acquire knowledge you need it

Also learn to care and respect your elders, the man is a veteran, he served his country
How about the plight of others we don't hear there story?
Since you know about the welfarism of the army, what is the army doing concerning it's veterans, are they keeping in touch? If all of them come to the social media, will this be replicated for all?
I love this gesture, just asking questions

Amen.Bro you see something,Nasir El-Rufai should be ashamed of being a Governor.
Now an army General is doing El-Rufai's job because of insensitivity of a Governor.Tufiaka!

Nigerian Army has been doing this for years, this is just one out of so many

Even in developed countries like the US not every veteran can be cared for.

The soldiers should also live responsible lives, invest the little they can and build a future for their children....
The Army also has the Military Pension Board.

I pity El-Rufai.

I'm very sure he wouldn't have treated this veteran with so much disregard and disdain if his name was Fulfude or Abdul- tainted.

God dey sha
Stop crucifying the Governor without hearing his own side of the story in this matter. How are we sure he was properly briefed as to the plight of this ex-soldier? I am sure he knows, he would have provided an alternative accommodation for the man. It is a great day- 08023001226

And how about the many others the Army have rendered assistance to that you are not aware of.
Why is it so difficult for the average Nigerian to accept a good development.
But lets assume the army had never rendered any assistance in the past ( just an assumption) does it make this one invalidhuh
Even in developed countries like the US not every veteran can be cared for.
The soldiers should also live responsible lives, invest the little they can and build a future for their children....
The man was ejected from his house o, he went through every process of making the place his.
If i may ask, are you privy to the living conditions of army inside barracks? While in service you see how dey live?
Wake up. I applaud them for this. But stop sounding they do it everyday......stop sounding as if the welfare department knows what is happening to all their retirees.
Except you wanna come forward with proof.
By the way, an average nigerian deserves the basic amenities he can get.....and should hold the government responsible if they are sleeping on there responsibilities.
Now please delete the US you mentioned in your reply. The US cater for all it's armed forces, either in service or retired.

You are correct I know of retired servicemen who didn't have anything left after retirement but the clothes on their backs and government issued housing.

At the same time the US cares for most but does not care for every retired soldier. Many are homeless, disabled and without benefits, unemployed/unemployable or addicts with severe mental illnesses.
