A self deceiving country called Nigeria

Twenty one senetors currently receiving pensions from government as ex governors and deputy governors.The current senetors who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara,Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano,Kabiru Gaya of Kano,God's will Akpabio of Akwa Ibom,Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Enonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara,Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau,Aliyu Magatakarma Wamakko of Sokoto,Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara,Danjuma Goje of Gombe,Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe ,Adamu Aliero of Kebbi,George Akume of Bene and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun state.

The former deputy governor's in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.

Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers.This includes:Ngige,Fayemi,Amechi and Fashola (SAN).
In Akwa Ibom State,the law provides that ex governors and deputy governor's receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent.The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide;a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy.
In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex governor and deputy,one residential house for the former governor anywhere of his choice in Nigeria ";one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy,three cars for the ex governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.

It is alleged that in Lagos,a former governor will get two houses,one in Lagos and another in Abuja,estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja.He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years,and a N30 million pension annually for life.
This is the reality for all the 21 ex governors and deputy governor's who are currently serving as Ministers.NOW I ASK: How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governor's? Is it more than eight years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life,must it be possible so outrageous?
As if that is not enough : How on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister,and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?
IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE...... Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister,you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.
Yet these senators are in the Senate House that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria'so economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our honourables "are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating states/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria.
The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National assembly in a country where nothing works and 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day?
A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's 50 times more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 94 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the USA President or 9times the USA congressman.These people are gradually cutting our live span.Please say bigger No to looting of Nigeria in the name of democracy.God must help and one day save us from these wicked politicians.God bless Nigerians.

I so much love the headline
wow wow
These people have no conscience,no they don't, and worst part is that they look at it as if its very normal.
Nigeria deceiving itself since 1700..
Our problem in this country is our politicians,their conscience is dead on arrival.
The earlier this accrued money spent on these thieves are minimized,we Nigerians are yet to identify our problem

Some people will still come & defend them. Most of the politicians(thieves) involved are in the current government.
