IPPIS: Will government act or let workers suffer?

The Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) was conceptualised in 2006 by the Nigerian government as part of its reform programmes. The system became operational in April 2007 and was transmitted to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) in October 2008. It...

There's nothing that humbles a man like being in a state of guilt and situations unprepared for. This old man never knew a day of retirement will catch up with him unprepared. A wake up call for those who are in the service to get prepared as the years are fast approaching like the final whistle in a race.
To serve this nation under any capacity is waning the former belief of being proud of serving the nation to the end and still benefits to use the entitlement to get what cannot be fine during service years especially building after retirement.

Serving a nation as a public servant in any capacity, is enough to go home peacefully and happily. Today, the story is different.
Many personnel who retired since the policy of the;

'New Contributory Pension' ,

are seriously languishing in pain and confused especially those who were at the verge of retirement when the policy came.

Take a police inspector for instance. After serving for thirty five years in the service, the person either retired as a result of age at sixty or compulsory service of thirty five years in service..
Upon retirement, the organisation begins to work on gratuity and pension.
The process, dovetailed to six, one and two years to finalise as the case maybe. This is the man who is collecting monthly salary now, no money coming and has bills to pay especially, school fees, medical bills, house rents if they are not in barracks and if outside and not lucky to have one during service year.
The process takes a long time and seems endless for many retired personnel who will be waiting endlessly not knowing when it will come.
When the process begins, after signing all the necessary documents, the lumb sum, will be shared into three equal parts.
One: to take home,
Two: to wait till when the person gets to seventy years as the benchmark of living. And lastly, the:
Third one, the remaining amount will be spread across the number of months the person will be reaching the age of seventy.
If the months are high, less is the monthly remittance as allowance and, if less the better. But in most cases, the person who is collecting full salary before and not covering his expenses in a month now only gets fragments as allowance despite no more salary anymore.
How can such being survive?
The military and intelligent community were excluded from the scheme and police and other security agencies are left in the scheme doing no one any better rather, kept people in disarray.
Today, the number of stroke related issues is more in life of retired police officers than any other retirees from other organizations.
They are used to daily handling of money from their bits and places of assignment including their monthly salaries. Then all of a sudden, such persons are relegated to absolute suffering without pay. It is uncalled for.
So for the case of Mr Monday who went back to the place he knows the trade, and how to operate to get his daily pay for his family upkeep including medications, should not be blame totally rather, the system that failed him.
The military are smiling to bank after retirement including the intelligent community with good take home parkage at retirement. While the police go home more confused than ever.
Let the case of this old man serve as a wake up call to the authority to change the narrative in other for all to enjoy retirement not one eye enjoying ray of sunlight and the other, in perpetual darkness still in the same service of the country.
Is it a sin to serve the nation?
Authority, do something urgent.

'In the City eeh, California' was one of the resonating lines from sounds of the finest and phenomenal rapper 2Pac Shakur. Yes that's the city that houses Hollywood, Las Vegas, Wrestling arenas as well as lively Grammy ground awards including that of cinema and other entertainment like fashion shows.
It has been on the news for weeks now of it ravaging to ashes despite the technical and technological know how of the country.
While many will not know what it is, it's the capital city of entertainment in the world.

A lot has been said about it since the beginning of the outbreak of the fire outbreak.
It has happened many times but why is this very one.different? Some attributes it to climate change. Others human factors and the last but not the least, is renowned for a lot of evil practices.
Looking at it from afar, it becomes confusing.
The environment and the vicinity is serene, not dry ground and not dense interns of dried grass like summer times in Africa and Australia.
The trees are greenish and fresh and houses are not in the cluster. Then, what could be responsible for this violent inferno to the extent a beautiful city burning down completely including the death of about twenty five persons. Funny enough, worship place are left out in some instances including some building that are unique in a way.
This could be more spiritual than the eye can see.
The.rumour of the city is hosting big and strong practitioners of gay and homosexualities becomes a big concern(LGBTQ).
Some attribute its destruction as punishments because of the evil happening there for years especially in the last decades because of excessive freedom gifted by the country.. It is on this enormity of its practices that the incoming administration is hammering on dealing with its practitioners and violations in the name of freedom of practice and marriages.
The cases related to one big name lately, P Diddy or Stockholm and his stylish and lavishly white party housing and violating people's right by forcing many into forceful sexual act and assaults comes to mind. The case remained fresh while the very person was in the custody of the federal government.
Seeing the names and personalities involved in the level of evil committed, one begins to wonder how such men and women whom people looked at as role models be involved in evil acts that is not in celebrating humanity rather destroying humans in the most evil ways in a country that prides itself 'Gods own country'.

It will be a big task for the incoming administration to work on the talk to cut the evil acts and new chapter in the country to check the much more freedom even if not total.

The best of the week is having a great time with people that know and feel concerned about you when you are not around..

The people that missed your absence are the weekenders of all time especially family and good friends.
It is a good thing to celebrate with them for no other future that is more worthwhile than the one we are witnessing now.
Back in the days, if asked, what would you want to become in the future? People go for the best of professional courses in life. The questions; are all the dreams still in the pipeline?
Are they fulfilled? If they are not or on cue, it is a good thing to grasp the availability to enjoy the life at hand.
The expected future in the past is now here with us. The future from today is the one we do not know and is elusive because is not guaranteed.
Good to use the resources at hand in order not to align on a bigger scale of reference that is not achievable.
Do not missed it. For us a one time thing every week.
Best way to enjoy life, is not necessarily having truck load of money but being manager to the one at hand to get desired satisfaction.
A loaf of bread at a supermarket or mega malls and that of the ones in the local shops are the same but only class that differentiate them. Is all about the mind set.
