A member of the House of Representatives from Dawakin Tofa Constituency in Kano State, Mustapha Dawaki, on Friday said the National Assembly would reduce the 2012 budget.

He also said the National Assembly had asked the Federal Government to remove some items from the 2012 budget.

Dawaki, who spoke in an interview on Channels Television, said the National Assembly had cut off 60 per cent from the emoluments of federal lawmakers, noting that it was determined to cut waste in the system.

Dawaki, who is of the Peoples Democratic Party, stated that there were some items in the budget which lawmakers found strange and asked the Presidency to delete from the budget proposal.

He debunked assertions that members of the National Assembly were earning millions of naira as salaries monthly, noting that the entire package was not more than N435,000.

He called for a quick resolution of the logjam over the withdrawal of subsidy on petroleum products in the interest of the nation.

What does jonathan wants to eat that he budgeted #1 000 000 000 for feeding ? Na golden rice ?

You believe these Looters you can believe anything.

By the time the people are done burning their trousers, they will be begging to accept minimum wage.

We don't need career political thugs making laws for us, if you cannot live on 18K per month like most Nogerians, then go and start a business.

No allowance

No free Housing

No free Cars

No free furniture

No free personal travel

No constituency allowance (massive fraud 419)

No Daily sitting allowance unless you actually sit.

If they can't take it they can go sell recharge card. Or better still, drive Okada.

We will not subsidize Looters!

jmaine:

Promising news . .He sounded so assured . . .but we ought to seek a confirmation to his bold declaration of 60% cut in emoluments ( but their constituency funds should be deleted if possible, cos they virtually do nothing with it) . . .I

I stopped taking him serious when I read this part. . .

I would have taken him more seriously had he avoided this outrageous lie:

He debunked assertions that members of the National Assembly were earning millions of naira as salaries monthly, noting that the [size=15pt]entire package[/size] was not more than [size=15pt]N435,000[/size].

Apparently, we will need another more reputable member of the NASS to corroborate his claims. This is the definition of "lack of trust for our leaders". We've been really bastardized.

@NASS
;Dthis guy is a phucking prick men!
FRIGIN LIAR!!!
I DEY CHOKE O!!!!!!!!!! I NEED FRESH AIR!

Supporter and Nor Supporter of the Protest are now seeing the Handwriting on the Wall, I can see some people are in Support of the Subsidy remover Initially. Where are they now.? Things are now Changing. FG don't expect things to come out this way. Apart from the reversal of fuel to N65, Let us Fight them all on Corruption.

i lost my respect for jonathan the day he became an obasanjo loyalist but telling nigerians that he (an ijaw man)and sambo(sambo an hausa man) will eat food worth of N1B was an insult to this useless country.
does jonathan and sambo eat gucci, prada, percioti, pazileri or luis vuton rice and beans?
a liar that preached that cassava bread is the best turned back to tell us about  N1B food.
how did his aids even allow him to tell us that he is buying a dinning set worth of N300m?
pdp has been a very useless party but jonathan has really confirmed that he can be more wasteful and useless than useless itself.

What do we even need the House of Representatives for?
They don't represent us in any way, all they do is sit down, crack jokes and take home fat wages.

The man is obviously lying thru his teeth. If indeed that is the total take home pay, how much is the basic pay? Not forgetting some of their allowances are as much as 200% basic!

The guy most likely meant Basic salary, and not the ENTIRE take home pay.

He should be bold enogh to break the figures down for a comon man to understand. From what he said, he is not earning more than 5.4m per anum. If so, why then the fight.

they are using 9ja money to pay ashawo lesbian to phuck their wives , they so called nass pay ashawo 1million per night

hehehe, this must be the joke of the day. I pity subsidy removal supporters

Occupy NASS

This is the time to ride on the momentum and really get the thieving lawmakers to stop robbing us blind via constituency allowance,furniture allowance even after collecting monetisation etc

See this mumu man. He and his colleagues in the hollow chamber are busy sleeping while the masses take over their role of checkmating the executive. No wonder gej had the gut to say that the NASS decision that fuel price should return to N65/litre was  "a mere expression of opinion". OLODO MAN.

If care is not taken, the masses will arrest and koboko all NASS members in those hollow chambers.

Dey should shut up, dey re d problem we av in dis country

This really stinks – NIGERIA SENATOR’S SALARY PACKAGE!!!
August 2nd, 2010 | Author: Peter Okali

Check out this email I received detailing the outrageous figures paid to a Nigeria Senator. Little wonder why everyone in Nigeria has political ambitions and will do whatever it takes to get there.

Furniture Allowance @ 300% of BS – N7,452,736.50

Newspaper allowance @ 50% – N1,242,122.70 (Which kind newspaper be this, abi na online or hard copy?)

Recess Allowance @ 10% – N248,424.55

Accommodation @ 200% – N4,968,509.00

Total = N29,479,749.00 Per Year
Allowance of Nigerian Senator: $1,500,000/year
GDP of Nigerian Economy: $45 Billion/year

A feeding frenzy!!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Compare with this -

Salary of the U.S. President: $250,000/year
GDP of the U.S. Economy: $13 Trillion/year
What do these Senators do to deserve this pay?

Amazingly, I saw a recent news video on YouTube of Nigeria senators in a session demanding an increase to their yearly allowance. These guys want a whopping N30 million every month.

Most of the Pharmacists, Engineers, Lawyers, Doctors, Welfare coordinators, Teachers/Lecturers, Engineers, Civil Servants and other productive professionals cannot boast of N1 million per year. What a pity !!!

SAY NO TO THIS OPEN LOOTING OF NIGERIA.

He debunked assertions that members of the National Assembly were earning millions of naira as salaries monthly, noting that the entire package was not more than N435,000.

N435,000 indeed! The other day a member confirmed it was nine hundred and something thousand, now this. Why are these people lying about their pay? Do they think Nigerians are fools?

Alebros:

I want to comment on Jonathan's budget of about 1 billion for food.Its definitely an inflated sum but we need to know that this is not just the food Jonathan and Sambo alone will eat.There are thousands of guests to aso rock daily.So these guests are always fed.Surely the amount is too much but it is not as simple as people put it.Please no insults if you want to counter this argument.

I think it is as simple as people put it. Even with guests that sum is grossly inflated. Besides, the situation of the country should engender a 'roll-up-your-sleeves' attitude, there simply should be low priority for feasting and entertaining guests.

I'm sick and tired of these clowns insulting our intelligence with their lies. The fact is that there can be no real progress as long as the thieves are in charge.

We need to overthrow this government and start afresh. Jonathan, Sambo and their entire cabinet have to go. The entire Senate and House of Reps have to go. We need a totally new government with a new constitutuon with more checks and balances to prevent this nonsense from happening again.

i have to agree with you on this, although i totally HATE[color=#990000][/color] your username.

Members of NASS are rogues!

Their salaries, allowances, constituency allowances e.t.c is an insult to nigerians.

In as much as they are not willing to cut their bloated pays, make laws to curb corruption and bloated govt expenses in the system then they are of no use to us.

If NLC genuinely want the best for nigeria they ought to organise strikes to demand for basic infrastructures, accountability, drastic cut in govt waste, NASS expeses, prosecution of corrupt govt officials/politicians/cabals e.t.c

Nigerians, can you really blame our leaders, we gave them the opportunity to treat us badly. If Nigerians rise up, just as we have done, against jumbo salaries for legislators and the executives; do same against corruptions and non performing and corrupt contractors, things will change for the best. You cannot under-rate the power of the people. I must say, corruption is a far greater monster than the pains of removal of fuel subsidy. The structures that were able to stage this strike action must remain organised, interact regularly and be prepare to intervene when necessary if we are to free Nigerians from misrule, injustice, corruption and manipulations.
