Hmmm interesting

How much is your salary sir
With all your allowances
Let us start from there

Sometimes we wont blame them we cause most of their support

Come out and vote we the youth wont vote
Take part in politics we the youth call it evil

We should learn to vote and include ourself in politics to flush out bad eggs like amosun

Meanwhile some youths are still supporting them with their life ...

Very useless leader! Pls i beg to be corrected, does other countries legislation where we borrowed this democracy from get constituency Allowance to handle power generation , water and education in their constituencies. These are state and federal government responsibility for God sake. After impoverished the masses, they now see them as if they are doing something extraordinary like paying for JAMB WAEC etc.

They can't survive outside of Politics. That's the only job you get paid for doing little or nothing. Useless bunch of opportunists.

This is why the upcoming election is The political elites (that wants to stay in power by all means) VS The suffering, oppressed masses.

Anyone still want to vote pdp and apc in any political level is either a fool or has something to gain!

Nigeria’s Next Leader’s Ties to a Heroin Ring

Former Lagos provincial governor Bola Tinubu, affectionately nicknamed the Jagaban, is today seen as a shrewd if not “deeply Machiavellian” Svengali in Nigeria’s politics as well as the architect of a hugely successful anti-corruption platform. But 20 years ago he had to forfeit nearly half a million dollars to the U.S. Treasury Department after being named as an accomplice in a white heroin-trafficking and money-laundering ring that stretched from West Africa to the U.S. Midwest.

Although his case has been bandied about the Nigerian press for years, Tinubu’s involvement in a federal drug and racketeering investigation waged jointly by the DEA, FBI, and IRS has gone unreported elsewhere, even after his ascendance to Karl Rove-like status last month. A recent gauzy Financial Times profile of him, for instance, neglected to mention that two decades ago Tinubu was identified as a bagman for two Nigerian heroin movers who operated out of Chicago and Hammond, Indiana. They were Adegboyega Mueez Akande and Abiodun Agbele, Akande’s nephew, who was exposed to law enforcement after selling white heroin first to Lee Andrew Edwards, another dealer later jailed for trying to murder a federal agent, and then to an undercover cop.

In a 1993 court docket from the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Illinois, which The Daily Beast obtained from Sahara Reporters, a Nigeria-focused news outlet, IRS Special Agent Kevin Moss said that Akande had run the white heroin ring in the late 1980s until 1990, when he handed off the U.S arm of the business to his nephew, who had arrived in 1988. Akande then returned to Nigeria but continued to oversee the operation from abroad with the help of others at home and in the United States, including his relatives. One of the individuals identified in his cartel by Moss was Tinubu, then a Chicago State University-educated accountant working as a treasurer for Mobil Oil Nigeria Ltd, a subsidiary of energy giant Mobil Oil, which was still a few years shy of its famous merger with Exxon in 1999.

In the biography section of his official website, Tinubu is described as having emigrated to the United States in 1975 “in search of the proverbial Golden Fleece with a heart brimming with unrelenting determination to achieve his visions.” This is certainly one way to describe his tenure stateside.

In 1989, Moss said in an affidavit, Tinubu established an individual money market account, into which he deposited $1,000 in traveler’s checks, and a negotiable order of withdrawal account (NOW) at First Heritage Bank in Country Club Hills, Illinois. The address Tinubu gave the bank was the same as the listed headquarters of Globe-Link International, the front company owned by Akande and his relatives.

“There’s a trend of various Nigerian politicians at the highest levels involved in dodgy business deals around the world, in property and cash.”

Bank employees told Moss that Akande had personally introduced them to Tinubu in December 1989 when who also opened a joint checking account with his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, who already kept a joint account with Akande’s wife at First Heritage. Five days after the NOW account was opened, $80,000 was wired into it from a bank in Houston maintained by one of Akande’s relatives. Tinubu would later use the NOW account to buy a $10,000 Certificate of Deposit for an $8,000 car loan, listing Akande as his cousin on the application.

At the time, Tinubu’s take home as a Mobil Oil Nigeria executive was a mere $2,400 a month and he claimed not to have any other revenue streams. Yet he still managed to deposit $661,000 into his individual money market account in 1990 and then another $1,216,500 a year later. He also opened more accounts with Citibank in its worldwide personal banking unit, transferring over half a million dollars from his First Heritage money market account into one of them in early 1991.

Mobil Oil Nigeria told Moss that Tinubu’s role at the company never involved transferring large sums of money between banks and that it didn’t keep deposits in any institutions in the south suburbs of Chicago, where First Heritage was based. Moreover, although Tinubu moved back to Nigeria in 1983, he neglected to file U.S. income tax returns after 1984 despite having sizable, interest-generating deposits in American banks. All of this was enough to persuade a magistrate judge of the Northern District to issue seizure warrants for Tinubu’s First Heritage and Citibank accounts. Collectively, more than $1.4 million belonging to the Nigerian was confiscated.

Just imagine the rubbish this one is spewing from the vocal cavity he calls a mouth.
With all the useless allowances that have been allotted to senators.
How won't people come and beg ehn, when you guys are giving your electoral (lies) manifestoes to your constituency, and promising them heaven and earth. Once they win they forget all the promises that they made so of course people will come and beg.

Just imagine the way of thinking of a then Gov/senator(former and serving) who has seen it all !

His mentality is truthfully that of master and slaves.
-They prefer you continue to beg them for crumbs.
-They rather not see more individuals become self sufficient cos it would lead to mind shift that would threaten their political ambition and greed.

How could he say that, he would agree to a part- time job of legislation and wouldn't further suggest to more reductions of salaries and allowances, whereby the monies are directly pumped into the constituencies for the various projects.

Oga take it easy.
No one on earth ever agrees that his salary meets his expectation.... even the broke man recently employed after a church testimony...

The day Nigerians wake up and demand that Nigeria is restructured and the burden of your upkeep for example is move from the treasury to the citizenry you represent then we will see your real worth.

For a jaundiced, upside down system that has the players paying the referees instead of the fans has corroded your primary responsibilities to the citizens to get them a fair deal on every single matter of benefit from government.
