When a Good Gesture Becomes a Mockery.
President Tinubu gave ₦153 million and a house to each member of the Super Falcons for winning the Women’s African Cup of Nations.
A beautiful gesture, no doubt.
But…
Imagine the thoughts of a public school teacher who wakes up every day to shape the minds of children….on a ₦50,000 salary.
Imagine the frustration of a medical doctor, who sacrifices sleep, time, and life itself to save others, yet earns ₦250,000, and still has to protest just to be paid.
Imagine the pain of a police officer, earning less than ₦100,000, standing guard under the rain, in danger, while the rest of us sleep in peace.
Just imagine it.
Imagine the tears of a civil servant, begging for a ₦70,000 minimum wage for years, watching others receive in a day what he won’t earn in a lifetime.
Do you now see why the most vital jobs like teaching, security, healthcare, are now handled by men and women filled with anger, disillusionment, and a deep sense of betrayal?
How do you expect patriotism from someone who can’t feed their family? Someone whose salary is barely enough to cover transportation costs?
How do you expect commitment from someone whose value has been reduced to crumbs in a country they serve with their blood?
Yes, it’s beautiful to reward excellence.
But it is dangerous to ignore sacrifice.
I pray this same kindness, this same generosity, finds its way to the silent heroes who hold this nation together every single day.
They don’t ask for millions. They just want to live with dignity and earn a decent salary.
