Anambra pensioners reject Governor Obiano’s Christmas bags of Rice, demand their retirement benefits are paid instead

PENSIONERS: Anambra state retirees have rejected the annual bags of rice given to them by the state Governor Willie Obiano, retirees say all they want is their retirement benefits paid or nothing more. What is given to use every Christmas is a “GREEK GIFTS”

Niger state chairman said all that they Want is their road union of Pensioners _Dr. Anthony Ugozor who spoke to newsmen on behalf of other pensioners in the state on Wednesday, December 9, said that the last gratuity that was paid to them was in 2017.

He added that if they were paid their gratuity, they will have no need to be collecting bags of rice from the state government every year and that they will have enough money to buy the type of rice they want.

Here is the statement from the retirees;

“They give us rice at the end of every year, but the gift of rice is not constitutional. It is a gift which the government is not mandated to give.

If the pension is reviewed as and when due and harmonization did as it should be done and arrears paid when it is supposed to be paid and we are not given rice, we will be more comfortable because we will have enough money to buy the type of rice we want and still have enough money to attend to other needs.

It is unfortunate that once somebody retires in Nigeria, he is regarded as deadwood because we can neither embark on strike nor give the government an ultimatum. The only thing we can do is to go on a hunger strike, which is even detrimental to our health.

Everything government is doing concerning pensioners is mere pretense and exploitative and that is why I say that no government is a true lover of pensioners, be it federal, state, or local government.”Ugozor said

The pastor explained in an Instagram video that, despite what is commonly believed, men need women by their sides in addition to their marriages.
He disclosed the four key reasons for side chicks’ importance.

The first explanation offered by the pastor was stupidity. He said that having side chicks is the finest way for a man to look dumb.

In response to a question about why guys are still searching for Coke after they have one, he pointed out that Coke in a bottle, can, or plastic is still Coke.

He identified premature death as the second reason why males require a side chick.

According to the preacher, a guy who wishes to pass away too soon must overwork his heart and stuff his body with unnecessary items.

He mentioned shame and embarrassment as additional reasons. A man who enjoys dishonor and shame, according to him, needs a side chick because that’s what he will eventually get.

According to him, a man should only require a side chick if he enjoys difficulty and turmoil.
