We truly deserve the type of leadership we get in this country. Imagine the senators who are voted in to represent their constituencies cannot make open what they collect as salaries.

If you even look at the lifestyles they live, N21m is no where near what we can assume they receive every month.

“The Nigerian Senate is an Assembly of accomplished and successful professionals, administrators and captains of industries, who are not driven by these often touted egregious pecuniary bits, rather for their patriotic zeal in the nation’s quest to breathe life to Nigeria’s political and socio-economic dry bones.”


If true, they should be ready to serve free then we will know how many will still seek political office

My dear Nigerians.... This is one thing I'll tell you, Majority of Nigerians do not deserve to live in a place like Nigeria. Just travel to a developed country like the USA and you will nearly cry at what we have been forced to accept as normal. Things that are seen as basic are what we look to as luxury. Just sad.

Our leaders have failed us woefully!!!

With project funds I can agree but just monthly salaries and allowances, that's overblown!

What does it take for them to publicly publish their monthly salaries and other emoluments. To me that is the best way to counter his claims or know who is saying the truth.

Constituency office, constituency projects, aides and oversight function to gulp about 20 million out of the 21 million naira! These senators that do not buy sewing machine, wheel barrows, okada etc more than 3 times in a year! Oversight functions that are mostly funded by the target ministries, departments, agencies or parastatals! Constituency offices that are either mostly deserted, or have one or two staff in them! Aides are often over bloated, and often include a fee professionals, and more of thugs, hatchet men and side chicks. I am sure this criticism of their emoluments will continue to be a sword of demagogues on their neck, a sure irritant.

Who would spend millions or even billions to get into the senate to be paid N1 million monthly?

Since they have chosen to make their actual monthly take home including allowances a secrete we will keep taunting them with whatever huge figures we hear

Some of you are just too unreasonable in your lies..
Mention the senator that spent billions to get to the senate

In reaction to the claim, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu (APC Ekiti South), said the National Assembly receives only 1% of the federal budget.

469 people holding on to 1% of A Nation's Annual Budget, Every Year!

If ordinary senators can be collecting 21 million naira as monthly salary and allowances...then imagine what the Senate president.. Godswill Akpabio that likes to mock and make jests of poor nigerians will get as monthly salary and allowances..his own will be within 30 million naira and above monthly. it's a piry

Sir all of these things are what I know and I know it clearly it was still the westerners that brought UMA to power and we all know that the journey of our hopelessness all started from the 1999 and we are still battling with it sir I believe if we stop this mindset of zoning and marginalization and ethnic bigotry and the canisters of worm that has eaten deep into each individual we just want to amass wealth in the detriment of the poor Nigerians nobody is looking in the direction of how the country will be good all we focus on is if my people is there no problem but the question is must we keep ignoring the truth and keep installing the people who do not mean well for this nation, should we still keep wallowing in pain, hunger and starvation in the midst of plenty should we still keep taking our crude overseas when we have refineries that are being serviced year in year out with billions of dollars how long do we continue all of this sir currently we have various charges going on in the midst of hardship and we are still talking about democracy in this country well the truth is not far fetched that we are now in autocracy sorry to say, but it's a shame that we are in this mess that we find ourselves in these blessed country where the rulers who are supposed to be the leaders are the brain jotter of weaponized nation.

I told you guys that this is one of the reasons you should protest not here calling Tinubu names... If you look beyond hatred for Tinubu, you will realize that there are people frustrating his efforts. Just imagine Ogun state bringing disgrace to Nigeria. If you hate Tinubu that much wait till 2027 but imagine a situation where they keep pumping billions into refinery with no good results and you didn't mention it. Put the right demands into protest and it will show good results not praying for Tinubu downfall. I pray corruption reduce in Nigeria because from hair to toes we are all corrupt. God will help us

Ttalk:
Take your life swear if you get less

The idiot is not denying. He said; “Thus the money referred to by Senator Kawu Sumaila is neither his salary nor personal allowance.

‘It’s for the daily running of offices by Senators and other attached statutory officials. It equally provides funds for Constituency office staff. It is also for oversight functions and community engagements.

These Nigerian politicians thinks maybe Nigerians are goats or just trees who can't reason. These are the people Nigerians should fight. Visit and Destro their homes and offices. Call for immediate review of making their offices less attractive. Many Nigerians will come out and all these politicians will easily be captured because they are totally useless. It is even their orderlies that will be the first people to beat them.

Mayflowa:
Senator Aderamodu didn't deny the allegation. He said the 21 million naira was not meant for personal use but for running office like buying stationery, letterhead. I don't really know what he meant by running office. Do senators pay for their aides themselves? NO; Do senators pay for diesel for powering their offices? NO. There should be a request office for stationeries.

Let's assume you spend some money to run your office, Why is this money paid to their personal account? He talks about director-general having money to run office. Do they pay these money to director-general's personal account. This is a poor fiscal accountability, fraudulent and distasteful. Anyone can squander money in his or her personnel account. Is this how other senate are run in other part of the world? The truth is that the woman senator that report 21m naira is also lying. The money is probably 40m monthly.

I don't think senators deserve constituency fees. What can you do with say 100m constituency allowance? How do you even award the contract? These are ploy to steal monies of our sweat and blood.

I sight you... cool

Trained by Tai Solarin ... Always speaking the the truth to power... wink

By the way the head of my unit - equivalent to a director - gets N10,000 running cost per month.

We need to learn nation building in schools and carry the Nigerian attitude 24/7 along with us.
The problem is that many are still living in 1888... Carrying tribal and village sentiments around.
And I'm very sorry to say, those sentiments are totally against the Nigerian system what we've found ourselves in.
You'll just end up figting against each other or pointing loyalty to village chiefs while ignoring the Nigerian government in power.
The government, who owns all the money/resources knows this.
They leave us to continue fighting each other and insulting our tribes online... while they unitedly, collect
all the proceeds of oil wealth and protect themselves from us, with loyal traitors.
-
During the slave trade period in US, white men did it.
They will get 100 black slaves.
Then appoint 1 black slave as the head/foreman.
That 1 black foreman will unleash HELL on the other 99 black slaves because
he wants to please the white man.
INSTEAD of the 100 slaves to just gather and beat the 1 white man.
That's how slavery continued to propagate.
And that's exactly what our Nigerian government and senators are doing with us. And we're busy helping them achieve it as well.
