Oya. Vote wisely come february

still the same difference, somebody is still gonna receive the money, be it your candidate or not

And Nigeria "progressive" (APC) Senators has nothing against it.

Politics in Nigeria is the highest paying business for now. See how Dollars and Naira are being spent just for people to get elected. Father Christmas? No way. There must be returns (with profit ) on 'investment '.In other climes, service and good name means more to them than off loading their nation's treasury. I weep for my country.

All those allowances can't be monthly

Yet all these countries are better off than Nigerians by living standards...

Please run a google check using the title of the thread as the key words.

Many of us youths are against this injustice but the irony of it is that these same youths will still vote for the same preseident that supports this injustice.

Why cant we tell ourselves the truth and do the needful.

Let us all stand up against injustice. Your concience will tell you who to vote for in the next election, listen to it.

that na just 2 years, 5 months na. I know people that are still waiting since 6 years.

Nigeriawhichway:
Should we still fold our arms and watch all these? Is it not enough reason for the youths to say no to these glaring injustice to us and our future generations? Leaders are "called to serve" and should not be "called to be served". Why do the youths shy away from all these.?

Writing with diffrerent colours of crayons will not solve the problem.Carry your placcard to Abuja to protest and we will follow you

Chai, when is the revolution coming? I know very well that when Biafra finally comes we will do things better.

This is the why theives didn't want change in Nigeria. Our has been consumed by corruption, all forms of impunity and unpatriotic leaders. Time for change

pring:

I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of our voting population.

This is the ICT generation that is largely ignorant about the events of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so can be misinformed and misled by needless propaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly above who only have faint recollections of the Buhari era and the level of ignorance about that era is amazing.

Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable facts:

- He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries.

- There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB!

- In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).

- JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.

- Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by 12 years of the PDP.

- Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time.

- Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station,much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders.

- He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didn't.

- Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values.People who know him have said of him... "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank".

- He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof.

- He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.

- He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja.

- Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted
for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated

- He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge.His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State.

- His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumors about Buhari?

He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and make the right decision. If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria ,now is the time to choose right. When you cast your vote for the BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest men.

Now that you know better, will you please educate another person BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN? THIS IS MORE THAN A CAMPAIGN.IT'S JUST THE TRUTH!!!

very true

The system is BAD #Reset! #GMB!

My mother retirement gratuity of N2m since 2007, dem don pay ?

So how do you expect a young Nigerian to work for Nigeria for 35 years and at the end expecting an elusive N2m or N6m ?

God punish poverty on my lineage..

Starting from me, poverty will be eliminated from my genartion and lineage.

the current salary structure as much as I know was reviewed by Musa Yaradua by 800% sometime back....don't know if it has been increased after that.
This figures are yearly and not monthly....but then what of those laundered....weep not Nigerians cause change is coming soon.

#change2015

NgeneUkwenu:


The calculation is way off! The correct figure is 29Million, while the op mischievously multiplied it by 12 to make it look bad! You cant calculate figures per annum and still multiplied it by 12!

Dem dey buy car every month?

Even the severance allowance.Do they collect it every month? The newspaper allowance per month fear me oo.You are right,the guy should go back and do his homework.

I was just wondering too. Is the op saying they give them constituency, car, furniture, severance, allowance, every month? naaaaa

Kcinho:

that na just 2 years, 5 months na. I know people that are still waiting since 6 years.

Unbelievable!! That is the height of wickedness and man's inhumanity to man.

There is no justifiable reason for Nigetian Senators (abi na sinators) to be earning over $500,000/annum. It's pure daylight robbery!
