The most

As long as the pdp played a major role in the emergence of the senate presidency, the country should not anything difference in this senate and the previous ones.

Let's be honest, if you were one of the 109 members sitting in the senate, would you not do likewise. How do we expect the paymaster to reduce their pay. Let's focus on other issues and leave this closed road of payment reduction

Were the phuck is that ben bruce? This is time for him to act, empty barrels that makes the loudest noise.

[b]Ben Murray Bruce has suddenly gone deaf and dumb with all his publicity stunt over pay cut of Senators. Unfortunately, Gullible and Brainwashed Nigerians have been scammed with this "CHANGE" mantra! There's nothing new about this administration! Same old criminals, thieves, kleptomaniacs or what have you? We all forgot so soon that the sames old thieves that made up the Defunct PDP are still the same thieves in APC! So ask yourself where's the change you brainwashed folks keep chanting up and down? What's new about this administration? All these APC big wigs were part of those that ruined this country under PDP but decamped to APC just for their selfish Interest! our supposedly honourable lawmakers ranks among the Highest paid in the entire world! Yet, they can't comfortably accept a paltry 10 percent pay cut! Truth is, for Buhari to successfully curb corruption in this country, charity must begin at Home! Yes! We agree that there are bad eggs that needs to be eradicated! But how about the Hens laying this eggs? That's the problem with this country![/b]

.Your write up is okay,but your biased of mind. What we all seek is "good governance" ,PDP put us in this present mess that we are trying to clean up. So its either you bring new and young politicians into the fold, and form a political party that has the "masses welfare" at heart. So bro,call a SPADE a SPADE.

I think PMB should show a clear cut eg in this by cutting his allowances etc and not just his salary of 14mill that he reduced to 7mill. Again, he should take the bull by the horn by declaring his assests. I learnt my a reliable source that his assests are just a little below #1 bill. He is afraid of letting the public know the true state of his wealth since he made naija people believed that he is a poor man. I think mr president should show eg. He is not serious in this corruption fight. Unfortunately, the past generals who are having all incrementary doc on his past administration esp as petroleum minister in which $2.5 bill got missing and the ptf are still monitoring him closer to strike at any attempt to expose him. Buhari hurriedly limited his probe to joe's admin. Shame to all that ever saw Buhari as a saint. He is never better off than any. I hope he will do his best but we should know that it is a matter of thief probing a thief or recent big thieves.

The easy money going to these senators for doing nothing is so much that if there are no massive protests at the national assembly, they will never bulge. .

My boss, you've suddenly forgotten how docile Nigerian masses are! These guys don't believe in anything, and aren't willing to sacrifice the minutest of comforts for a higher cause.

Mental slavery is real sir.

Sorry brother not everyone is greedy and unscrupulous. I and many other Nigerians will not be feeding fat on public fund when the nation is in dire economic situation.

How do you want us to focus on other issues while the poverty level in the system has increased? The first thing a man think of is food then other things.

In case you dont know. The Senate comprises of 109 Nigerians with a budget of 150 Billion naira - this budget is first-line and more than the budget of about 20 states in Nigeria.

Nothing the average black person does actually take me aback. I've studied them long enough to know most of them have no values, principles or empathy. He hardly thinks beyond his personal comforts, and is vastly engrossed with his own ease and aggrandisement. Shameful!

While the average Nigerian worker goes home with an insulting N18000 monthly, these established thieves and insensitive morons go home with obscene amount of wealth. The rulers came from the common person on the street who's largely corrupt, extremely greedy and totally insensitive to the needs of others and the society at large.

This was an opportunity for these lawmakers to try and salvage their battered image before the Nigerian masses, but alas, the primitive nature of the average black person prevailed over common sense and hence the rejection of a reduction I'll still consider grossly inadequate, given the prevalent economic realities.

I watched in amazement back in 2009 when the American congress voted against increase in emoluments due to dire economic situations.

I pity Nigeria.

In the first place why should this set of people be the one to determine their salary ....,,,,, I fear o

“All of us have people in our constituencies and financial requests from them keep pilling up on daily basis, the reality of which made steps to be redirected, otherwise, some of us may stop coming here.”


As if their coming to the chambers of the assembly adds anything positive to the polity. Their absence will actually be more productive. Better still, their extinction.
Heartless swines.!

WHat are you saying?? So they cant even reduce their pay by just 10%? Na wa for this country. we are really doomed.

pedel:
Some of these senators are suppose to be paying back money to the country.
There is, may be, none of them that hasn't stolen enough money for their next three generation.
Among them we have 2 to 4 - term senator, former governors, former members of house of rep., former ministers of the federation.
I am not sure of there is any of them that worth less than 1 billion naira.
Why cant they give something back?
They all bled the country into coma and for them to donate a pint of blood to keep the country alive, it is a problem.

On the judgement day, God will not allow Nigerian politicians to say a word before he send them into hell.

We don't need to wait till that judgment day because we may have suffered worse then even Hell. We're not just ready for these thieves. When we are ready, we know what to do.

To think that N18000 was approved by these bunch as minimum wage and they collect N42000 monthly for ward robe allowance.

God have Mercy.

The truth is it will be hard to significantly reduce the monies these guys collect if the have to be the ones to deliberate on it. Why would I as a new senator agree to reducing my pay when returning senators have been enjoying this crazy salaries since.

Who told them that part of the new senators ambitions was not tied to the juicy emoluments received, now they want to vote reduce it in my time.

We keep deceiving ourselves in this country.

kenedy175:
The committee recommended just 10% cut of there salaries and allowance when it should be like 50% cut and they still refused.
We are doomed in this country. All I need is one Napalm bomb to drop in NASS to free my country from the hands of those old selfish greedy armed robbers there!

What Nonsense!

nah wah oh. They formed loyal b4 but now their real nature is been revealed. This is y I'm comfortable as PMB has not appointed ministers.

While british mps earn less than £70,000 per year before tax.

if we tell u that buhary is the best man to rule this country, some people will be opening maggot mouth saying no. buhary has willingly cut his salary up to 50%. yet these idiot call senators can t even cut just 10%. Nigeria will be a better country if we can do away with religion and ethnicity.

The biggest jokers of the world are the Nigeria legislative arms of government. Bunch of spineless jellyfish.

My fellow Nigerians we most not stand and watch these old farts drain us, all these English dey are speaking is so we can keep dancing to dere crap while eat our money until dey time ends n dey pass the wahala to the next NASS. 469 people want us to believe the they need clothes allowance as if dey came in naked, 150billion was budgeted for only approx 469 people what wicked souls. we most fight to stop this. if the Senate can't stop these ridiculous spending den it tym Nigerians #occupytheSenate. we most get our own share of the 150billion every Nigerian.

i for one have refuses to be made a fool by spineless whip calling demselves NASS we will occupy the street of Abuja until they reduce dere salary and allowance or share with every Nigerian. does days were we sit and say "God dey" has pass for fu*k sake we removed PDP we can check mate dese thieves.

Dragonking:

We have to be realistic and not idealistic. No one is ready to really pile up pressure on the house to reduce their salaries

they treat us like fools cos they fink we are our fathers that had no balls to stand for their ryt. we will not be made to watch our children suffer cos 469 men want 150billion for doing Nothing. these men are equal to us they have No supernatural human power, we most say no to oppression. lets help GMB change Nigeria. Not sit n watch like our fathers did. dats y we youths can't afford three square meal for our families.

these men aint gods they are less human dan a day dog. we can stop them by standing together n fight the way we did "EBOLA" the way we did "GEJ" the way we did "BOKO HARAM" the way we did" PDP".

if the Senate ad hoc committee cannot act then we most take laws into our hands collectively. we all share the 150billion or they have a 50% pay n allowance cut. its dat simple.

Why is it that these senators are the ones dictating the amount they would collect,is Nigeria their fathers company or what... Then talking about people demading from their constituencies I'd say that's a blatant lie cos they don't even go there,they sit down in abuja enjoying,with these senators Nigeria is still in a big trouble....

This part got me laughing out loud.




“All of us have people in our constituencies

pilling up on daily basis, the reality of
which made steps to be redirected,

here.”


Let them stop coming naaa! Only people with genuine love for Nationhood should be found in that complex, people there shouldn't even be paid in the first place, such works should be done out of love for country and hence considered Philantrophic jobs.

Senators should never even be paid if truly they love this country.

Such positions should be reserved only exclusively for the super wealth who have vowed to give back to the society. Look at all of them. Super rich, but yet wants bogus salaries up on their stupendous wealth. That's the greed that fuels corruption.

Nigeria is a country that people from different regions comes to milk the country dry, instead of people from different regions bringing to the center what can grow the country. A society in reverse.


The days of impunity are over.

The british Police describes Nigeria's impunity steming from a culture of "Nothing for Something" culture..


The police man does nothing for you on the high way, yet you give him something.

A senator goes to his village and people haven't worked for him, he gives them something for doing nothing.

Anyway. The true meaning of Austerity as Always recommended by tactical technocrats like Christian largard, is squzing all lope holes where funds escape without accountability.

Every single Naira Appreciated.

Buhari would not only collect stolen funds, he would work real hard to make sure non is stolen in this regime and also nothing drops without being accounted for.

That is the only way the international community can know we are ready for business.

I just pray God should give Baba Buhari Long Long Long Life because the man "MUST" do Second term

We lack selfless leaders in Nigeria

I raise my hand for a protest at the NASS. If there is anyone who can mobilize us here I promise a minimum of 10 of my friends to be in Abuja.
