It is good news to hear that all benefitting former Heads of state are treated equally. It is time to stop reporting half truth that could scare those of us in diaspora.

We cannot afford a clash among our leaders for where elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.

Nigerians at home and in diaspora would like to know how much of the nations money is spent on emoluments and other welfare support for the colony of former presidents and other retired senior officials in the country.

For too long , this public expenditure has been hidden under the carpet to those whose money fund these "social welfare" for the rich. The colony of retired army generals and ex-presidents in NIgeria can be totally dispropotionate to the population becasue of the circumstances that created them . Think about how many generals emerge from every millitary overthrow each time there is one during Nigeria's "dark" days . In the seventies, every "general"had petroleum allocation or contract as a matter of right . These men looted the nation out of reason to the indignation of the general citizenry. I remember when the vice chancellor of the University of Lagos went cap in hand to beg for partial allocation of petroleum marketing similar to those enjoyed by the military generals to fund the institution which was then in dire stress financially,he got nothing .

I have difficulty to understand the rationale for continual subsidy to very affluent section of the community whose wealth is so enormous that about six percent of them control close to eighty percent of total national wealth. The action of these men is the origin of Nigerias ebedded corrupt environment today.

They have stacks of Nigeria's money exported to banks everywhere arround the globe. The country need to know how much is expended from public purse to fund them and perhaps have public debate about it . In a nation with massive developement need , the local schools and rural sectors may benefit from this waste to fund the haves at the expense of the have nots. WAKE UP NIGERIA.
