Sensational journalism again!

Why the title has to be "Buhari's ministers, lawmakers ...." is what baffles me considering the fact that this is the standard practice.

@ the main news, Nigeria cannot afford to continue to spend lavishly on our lawmakers and other political office holders.

APC lead by GMB and their national leadership must do something to significantly cut all these outrageous allowances in the short run and make politics less attractive in the long run so that only those with the calling to serve actually hold political positions.

Guy I jst tire for the caption O! very misleading.

Why are you this unreasonable? Is Buhari the head of the RAMFC? If he should take any decisive step at cutting down salaries, you will say he is taking us back to the military regime.

You are joker surely! grin

Did your man of integrity not campaign on a promise of bringing down the cost of governance

Again I repeat you and your Daura President are jokers and clowns thinking you can take your fellow citizens for a ride.
Sorry but we won't let that happen!!!

see you didn't get what i said, first the president should make it a problem by revealing to all Nigerians that the problem really exist, this was the mistake of GEJ, did he say anything about cutting cost?? how many aides did he hire? if GEJ has raised the the alarm and cut his own immediate cabinet then the masses can come in but this is where GEJ failed, now Buhari has also said he will lead by example by cutting his own did your GEJ say anything of such in 2011??

good morning

Remember GMB hasn't been sworn in. I'm afraid there is little he can do about their allowances this year cos d budget has been passed, maybe not yet approved but might be b4 may29. The only thing he can do is to plead with his elected team to make these sacrifices.

Let's wait for Buhari's comments on this issue. I'm quite optimistic that there may be a good development b4 may29. God bless Nigeria
Re: Buhari's Ministers,Lawmakers To Get N9bn Housing,furniture Allowance by bellyjean(m): 11:05am On May 09, 2015
Media and journalism in Nigeria should please discharge their duties as regards informing the citizens rightly and educating them. One in this context is getting a suitable/worthy theme for their news.

This theme is so misleading. Remember the government elect is still powerless. If the president elect reacts unwisely, people will start crying foul that he is running a parallel government.

Needless to say that it's the present lawmakers that will approve the budget. Literally, this present government wrote the budget, passed it and will approve it.

Nigeria political offices are the most legal organized crimes in the world!
That's why Obasanjo charged the PDP in 2007 elections that it is a DO or DIE affair.
We as a the electorates should come up with plans to stop these men, renogotiate the terms of engagement and make them earn nothing more than Perm secs in the ministries.
Anything other than these, every charlattan with his eyes on the loot will always come out to aspire for positions, and they will soon bleed us to stupor.
This is not Buhari's fight alone, we may need to march to their chambers and demand 'Enough is Enough' again.

The country is broke, our economy is horrible including bad debt. Technically, most states are yet to pay salaries. 9b naira for nonsense. I don't think this is the kind of change we all glamour for. We don enter one chance be that ooh.
How much did his predecessor pay? Did you read the part where David Mark harrased the RMAFC into turning the loans into grant.
We have entered one chance to a better Nigeria, no other chance but that of discipline and order for prosperity.
Someone has cluelessly wasted the highest income we have had, leaving us in deficit and the shame of borrowing thereafter.

That is what Buhari brings to the table. A desire to check impunity, a catalyst for the people to demand better governance, it can be also directed at the APC if they begin to derail.

And the only way to achieve this is for all Nigerians to takes this Head on and Make it a HOT MANTRA like "BringBackOurGirls" in less than 2months it might achieve its aim... So who is ready to start this? Because they have to kbow that Nigerians are totally fed up of these outrageous amount of Money they are being paid.

Buhari is not yet the president. That allowance is already being earned by those currently occupying those positions.

Foolish Nincompoop. Did Obasanjo and GEJ pass the same budgets? If GEJ ascribes 1B to his feeding in a budget it is GEJ that did that. OBJ may have allocated only 10M for the same feeding.

All govt Budgets are not the same irrespective of the statutory allowances as allocated by the revenue board. GMB will need the help of his party law makers and his influence on the RMARC to influence the reduction of those allowances.

Be that as it may, there is no set-in-stone figure for things like the president's feeding budget or Vice President's housing allowance. What GEJ did was to infuse all these things into his budget and get the lawmakers to approve it. Ofcourse they did because they are ravenous knaves whose sole interest was in what was in stock for them. GMB has to change that status quo by removing such things from his budget. Same way Nigerians barked when we saw that 3B was allocated to the "office of the first lady".

President-elect may want to wave this aside so it will continue owing to the fact that it has constitutional backing but alas it will affect his governance a great deal.
He must do the needful & that is to cut down the cost of governance and not juust that but he must as well strengthen institutions so as to stamp out corruption bcoz if he cuts down these allowances & fail to strenghten the institutions these same people will turn the other way to make up the cuts via constituencyallocations, oversight functions & likes.
God help Nigeria!
