‘Don’t donate your pension benefits to churches, mosques’

• Lagos pays N4.46b to 2000 retirees

Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has implored the 2,000 retirees, who got their contributory pension worth about N4.46 billion, yesterday, not to donate it to churches, mosques or religious groups.

Speaking at the 105 batch of retirement bond certificate presentation ceremony to retirees, Sanwo-Olu stated that payment of the pension is a testament to the unwavering commitment of the state government to its retirees while celebrating their years of dedicated service to Lagos.

“Today, we mark the 105th Retirement Bond Certificate presentation, a historic milestone as we transition into a new era of Pension Administration called ‘Pay-As You-Go.’ From now on, all retirees of the state government will be paid as they retire, provided all procedures and approvals have been completed before retirement.”

Sanwo-Olu disclosed that since the inception of the Contributory Pension Scheme, the state has paid N141.2 billion to 35,191 retirees.

“Under this administration alone, we have paid N59.7b to 17,039 retirees, making Lagos a top performer in pension payments. Today, I am pleased to announce that another 2,000 retirees will receive bond certificates worth a total of N4.46b. These funds, along with their monthly contributions, have already been remitted into their respective Retirement Savings Accounts with the Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs).

“In addition to financial entitlements, the Lagos State government, through the Lagos State Health Management Agency, has launched a Health Insurance Scheme tailored specifically for our retirees. This scheme will provide access to a wide range of medical services, from routine check-ups to specialised treatments.

at the ceremony, the Director General of Lagos State Pension Commission, Mr Babalola Obilana, said the ceremony would not have been possible with the support and cooperation of stakeholders and Governor Sanwo-Olu. He encouraged retirees to choose wisely between programmed withdrawal and annuity to select the option that best suit their individual circumstances.

The retirees, in appreciation of the governor’s gesture, held a special prayer session for Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat. The senior citizens also trooped out to dance with the governor

It's good you're telling them oo , them old no mean say them wise. Most of them mumu no be small.

Guys stop giving these pulpit bandits your hard earned money. Whoever or whatever made the universe will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER need your money for A N Y T H I N G whatsoever.


Any human being who collects money from other humans on behalf of an unseen entity is a thief. You don't need a judge to tell you that.



Any human who gives money to another human with the mindset that he/she is giving money to the creator of the universe or any unseen entity is a big fool.


Any man who tells you he works for the maker of the universe is a thief. He works for his stomach. He must one day come to tell you his "all-sufficient " god whom he works for needs your money. The being behind the existence of the universe is not a human like Dangote, Elon Musk or Tinubu that will need workers and money. Wise up

How they want to use their money is none of your business.

UPDATE
Politicians like to make laws & advice others but they themselves won't keep it. How much did Tinubu spent on muslims who went to (die in) Mecca?

How much are the governors spending on meaningless foreign trips?

The first lady said they're already rich so don't need Nigeria's money but how much was spent on her car & unconstitutional office & car tyres?

Actually, it is human nature to see the spec of dust in their neighbor's eyes but unable to see a huge black board covering their own face.

For those quoting me, it's a good advise only when you lead by example this one as with other politician's speeches is totally eyeservice. Secondly, he's very specific about where they shouldn't spend their money because religious centers don't pay tax (back to him).

Most of you are just brainwashed by these politicians and are blinded by tribal sentiments. And that's why you allow yourselves to be political thugs, then be used and dropped by them.

He would have said spend your money wisely.

COMRADES, Nigerians are blind folded by religion dogmas, I pray that a day will come that we will realise our mistakes

80% of Nigerian clerics are fraudsters, especially my religion, Christianity

Very wise advice.

Smart advice

Hmmm

Na wa

No be u go tell me how I go take spend my money

In return for massive blessings, religious groups tend to collect old people's money faster

The governor must have seen his old parents going through such

Good advice. But, they must thank God with their substance.

You are preaching to the choir, Mr. Governor (Pun well intended).

Clergymen are definitely taking their share from those Billions using "Divine threats and promises".


You don't expect them to dole out Opium (religion) for free!

Ordinary pension not even gratuity,& man is still making noise

But during election you go turn usher for the same place abi? You go even donate to the work of God sef make you for see votes.

As for the pensioners, it’s your money. Do whatever pleases you. If you want to give to the church & wait for manna to fall from heaven, then expect the great Tinubulation. Do whatever you deem worthy.

Any pastor/church that'll ask a pensioner to donate his/her wage needs to be locked up!

good advise. No church or mosque should be getting money. that is not how God works.

But he is saying the truth. He's simply saying spend your pension wisely.

Ode
Just to trend.
Someone listening to him will think he is prudent.
Was he not the one that went for his girlfriend's party in the Caribbeans the other time spending anyhow?

Now you want to tell pensioners who have worked 30-35years what to do with their money.

Nice!

Very sound advise.

Now the retirees face old age. They need to save their money and plan usage of such money properly. Having served for either 35 years or meeting the age deadline to retire, it is now time to rest for them.

They must not hand over their retirement funds to those who lie and deceive them.
They must not hand over to fake investment experts.
They must not put all the money into fish farming, without proper training or idea. It has ruined too many retirees.
They must not hand over to emergency importers, who promise them 500% return on investment.
They must not trust their children to help them invest in bitcoins, forex and other get rich quick schemes.
They must carefully handle the money, while planning effectively for investments, if necessary.
Sentiments must not play any role with horrible children, who want to kill their parents and run away with their retirement benefit. Stay away from them.

It's very difficult to advise a gullible person..

First it's to liberate them before advising.

Meanwhile, they will not just give their pensions, they'll vote for BAT for second term.

The Governor has not said anything out of line.

He knows the Pastors and Imams are waiting to collect their shares under the cover of fake vision.

Just advising , not forcing them to comply.

no use am sow seed o.

No better words said because those god of Men go use format on how to collect that money.

And what does that make you IF your submission holds true? Closet fraudster?

Sanwo-Olu is one of the best governors in Nigeria 🇳🇬.

Coming from someone who no send em papa

Good advice from the puppet governor.
Before people like Oledepo go use the money buy fuel for jet or renovate University wey 90% of em church members nor fit afford to send their children.
gOD of men
