↪Members of the House of Representatives earn significantly more than the N600,000 they quoted at the plenary session where they agreed to donate half of their monthly salaries, FIJ has gathered.
During a plenary session on July 18, the House of Representatives pledged to donate half of their monthly salaries for six months to combat hunger in Nigeria.
The lawmakers had said they earned N600,000 monthly and promised to release N300,000 each to support the Federal Government’s economic recovery efforts.
However, FIJ has found evidence confirming that lawmakers earn more than they claimed while making the pledge.
The Revenue Mobilisation Fiscal Commission (RMFAC), which is responsible for setting the remuneration of political office holders, pegs the salaries of lawmakers at N794,086 monthly.
Also, a Channels Television interview with Uzokwe Ifeanyi on Thursday disproved the N600,000 claim. The lawmaker representing Nnewi South Federal Constituency revealed a screengrab of his July salary notification, revealing that a member of the House of Representatives earns N936,979.53 monthly.
If lawmakers donate 50% of this amount, they would be contributing about N168.7 million monthly and would have donated approximately N1 billion to fight hunger over six months.

Dear Igbos:

It is a crying shame that you have turned out to be new generation cowards, having seen your ancestors fight a three-year war with a Nigerian side that was supported and armed by a host of foreign nations.

Everyday you're scapegoated when the slightest thing goes wrong in the Nigerian political atmosphere and the best you do is cower under keypads to cry like toddlers being denied milk and candy potions.

You have been accused of inciting violence, hate and tribal bigotry by the Yorubas for decades, to the point the very history of the origin of the biafra civil war has been re-written in your very faces.

Today you have a chance to be all of those things you have been accused and instead of taking advantage of the current societal unrest to actually incite the North and other regions against your sworn enemies, you're still sitting down and playing the victim card like the bunch of lowly cowards you have become.

Nigeria died the day Bola Tinubu stole the Presidency while using tribal bigotry and religious segregation as tools to turn the tides in his favour. You have the chance to realise Biafra and I can confidently tell you that we in the South South region have equally had our fill of this colonial cesspit and matrimonial abomination.

Throw your fears away! You've been accused of being hateful bigots, simply live up to that label. Take a detailed walk through the Twitter streets and see your comrades defending the Igbo blood with confidence and guts, while the lot of you sit here on nairaland and allow empty headed thugs like Seunmsg and Helinues to bully you around and drag your tribe to disrepute.

You new generation Igbos are a colossal embarrassment to the Ndi-Igbo Azikiwe fought for!

The real Koko na the allowances which runs into hundreds of percentage of the basic salary. Nigeria is such a fraud state that even salary of a lawmaker, a public figure, is hidden and operated in secrecy.

MasterJayJay:
Senate and house of rep should be scrapped to save Nigeria.


Each state should send 3 members of their house assembly every 4 months to Abuja to pass any law.
