T.Y Danjuma is a member of the PDP and a close friend of president jonathan. He wouldnt let go of his oil wells anytime soon.

if it drops to 40 dollar per barrel and Nigeria struggle to sustain itself people will think otherwise

The cost of Government and salaries of Legislators need to be also looked at

The oil boom is over!

May God bring it down to N10 less than 10cents

I hope it stabilizes,it's affecting the economy.

First obligation before GMB after taken oath of office may 29, 2015 is cutting national expenses. This he agreed to during interactive section he had with Arewa youth over the weekend. Since he is not a man after materialism, a senator will earn not more than N500K per/m

Time to sell a couple of gejs presidential jets. What is one man doing with 21 jets biko nu? More jets than aerocontractors. Yet we the people should tighten belt. How about tightening a belt around your necks all you government parasites.

Jonathan should launch an Austerity programme in order to sustain his investment in infrastructure

He can start the programme by seeking way to reduce cost of Government, from executive to legislator at all levels.

Get rid of some jets, NASS should agree to reduce their own wages

Interesting

This sounds like a populist proposition but it will never work. Salaries of the lawmakers are not fixed by executive fiat and the lawmakers I know, do not know the difference between APC and PDP when it comes to "their" money. I worked there previously and I can tell you that the democratic set up will not allow certain things that we wish or dream. Don’t be deceived, for most politicians irrespective of political party, politics is an investment and once they can’t get ticket on one party's platform, the decamp to another and claim to have become something else. Vote for the individual merit of each candidate please.

Unfortunately the current head of the executive branch does not have the chutzpah to do it.
