A post reported that the Federal Pensioners of Nigeria threatened a nationwide naked protest on November 24 if the government fails to pay their outstanding pension increment arrears and palliative allowances.
One shocking comment read, “Tinubu should not pay them. They have been given 5k each during the last election and those are enough.”
This statement is both heartless and ignorant. Pensioners are not beggars — they are citizens who worked, served, and earned their right to fair compensation. Reducing their lifetime service to a token “5k” handout mocks their dignity and exposes how deeply misplaced our sense of accountability has become.
Democracy isn’t built on pity or political favors; it’s built on justice and responsibility. Pension is not a privilege — it’s a debt the nation owes its workers.
