N13.5million in a single month and what are we getting in return for this. Nigeria is a joke. Where in the world is this being done ?

God will punish these politicians
God punish the useless twitter senator
God punish whoever did this to the Nigerian youths
More than 30% of our annual budget goes for the maintenance of these thieves both in the red and blue chambers...

In a sane country... The youths ought to have occupied the streets until such allowances are reviewed ...

There are only two tribes in Nigeria
They masses and the elites
The former needs to wake up... The country is going to the dogs
With the way things are going I can categorically state that a revolution is almost becoming imminent in the nearest future

A country that uses 80% of its Revenue on the welfare of Politicians, ex-politicians and Government officials cannot grow and impact positively in the lives of its people.

A friend once told me these group I mentioned above are the real citizens of Nigeria and that we the masses are just residents and not citizens because since I was born I have not gained one naira from the Government.

Those who are fighting for the downtrodden masses will be disappointed by the same downtrodden masses who believed that their leader(s) can never do wrong. At the end of the day, you stood alone wondering what's wrong with our sense of reasoning.

Revolution for where? For Nigeria? You must just be joking, with the tribalism in the land, the youths cannot be united for one just cause. We are too divided to cause a revolution. With the way each ethnic group supports their own tribesmen even if they are guilty of a crime.

The politicians have made people so poor that, if you try any uprising, they will send the soldiers to shoot at the crowd and they have so made Nigerians poor that we can't even go 3 days revolting. Many Nigerians survive on daily work or job so how can you revolt when you don't have food to eat the next day.

This goes to say alot about the people of Nigeria. Gullible and extremely tolerant.

Pastors in Nigeria are richer than their peers in wealthy advanced countries

Senators in Nigeria take home more pay then senators in US or UK , yet the masses are 100 times poorer.

Okay, can we know what Governors receive monthly?

N13.5m x 4 years is not even up to N1 billion. Does it mean a Senator can't boast of N1 billion corrupt savings after 4 years?

This is the same country where a Governor built a N2 billion mansion in his home town and another in Abuja barely after a year in office.


https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/12/11/furore-over-kogi-govs-multi-million-naira-mansion-in-okene/

another N1.2b mansion in Abuja barely after a year in office


http://thenigerialawyer.com/scandal-governor-yahaya-bellos-2-1billion-naira-mansion-exposed/


The earlier we realize that Nigerian Governors are the most corrupt political figures in Nigeria, the earlier we will learn to set our priorities rightly.

Only an ediot would doubt the fact that a Governor like Yahaya Bello is richer than 40 Nigerian Senators put together.


Nigerian youths, your Governors are your Number 1 ENEMY.

shocked N13.5M as a running cost not even salary

And they say Nigeria is poor

What is the need to borrow money when you can comfortably afford to pay N13.5M to each member of the Senate without blinking

Why borrow to pay workers when senate are receiving this side money

How can Nigeria be well when pensioners who worked to serve the country are still in tears in old age

No wonder all Nigerian senate cannot proffer any solution undecided

If not how can they be there and this great injustice is melted out to those they are there to represent and they all kept quiet

And the federal government is dashing the masses free lassa fever treatment while the few lazy ones are embezzling our money

and they say we should be praying for our leaders undecided

Someone collecting N18,000 minimum wage should be praying for those collecting N13.5M side money shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

Thank God they are treating lassa fever for free. I managed to graduate from the University with hearing impairment. Now I can't get jobs because interviewers get to know about the impairment. In saner countries, hearing aids are given free of charge. Though it's very costly, the question is: do we have up to 500 people that need hearing aids in Nigeria? No. I don't pray for God to judge again because I know He will surely not judge them.

My friend went to fix inverters, solar and batteries for a senator worth 40million naira. Along the line a fellow senator came and was bragging that," o since you fix this your unit for 40mil, i'll hv surpass you and make mine 50mil ". And i was like see how they are insulating their selves from the problem of the masses.
If it were to be the house of common, they'll be arguing day n night on ways to solve the power problem.
