A post shared 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 comment read, “That would be nice… let them go naked and swear for the government.”
This comment treats the pensioners’ suffering as entertainment rather than a cry for justice. Encouraging them to “swear” or curse the government instead of demanding accountability only normalizes pain and hopelessness.
These are elderly citizens, not clowns for social media amusement. Their anger is a reflection of years of neglect — not a spectacle. Instead of cheering their desperation, we should be demanding action and respect for their service.
Mocking the broken is not strength — it’s insensitivity.
