U lots keep shouting revolution upandan like say u go fit lead d said revolution. dats how most of u instigated some of my brothers and dey dared d army in umuahia and got shot while u internet warriors remain at the comfort of ur homes.revolution KO,internet warrior ni

There is a big difference, not revolution for dividing the country, but a revolution to take back the country. But with statements like this "Upandan" shows your not even willing to help. Revolution doesn't need to be violent, it's when the govt say "we don't care and we will keep stealing" then all hell might break loose. Hopefully not! They need to get the message though.

But 1 day, 1 day! I have been telling people e go be like film, when this people step on the wrong toes, when people who have nothing to lose have had enough! Hmmm!

The amount of money that senators are paid monthly is more than the monthly payment of an American senator.

Nigeria labour have been crying for increase of minimum wage but all to no avail. The excuse they gave was that it will devalue our currency the more because access cash will be in circulation.

Nigerian currency in the past used to be equivalent to the US Dollars. Today Nigerian currency has lost its value because of the assertion above and money laundering.

The payment structure of the National Assembly, need to be restructure.

Benefit from such restructuring is that money will be evenly distributed from the top to the least. It will lead to increase of minimum wages of our Labour forces.

Lastly, Nigeria currency will become valuable once again.

whr is dat senator common sense doin. he won't talk about dis Dan talking non sense. 13M salary

IamaNigerianGuy:


Are you kidding me ?

Keyamo!

If Nigerians are not domicile and weak as I believe; then armed with thier PVC, only senator Shehu Sani should return to the house of assembly in 2019. The rest can go to blazes for all I care.

Please where is Mr. Common Sense Senator? and what is his views concerning this revelation?

I wish I could line up all the sinators (excluding shehu sani) and have them flogged 32 strokes of fulani horse whip each to reset the madness in their heads....thieves!!

I have always insisted that we don't really need these people(the Senate) and if it is all about the legislative role in democratic settings, we can always factor a much efficient way around it...e.g, we can have a part-time system of just a single arm and they'll get paid per sittings.
We must make it less attractive as much as possible to pave way for only sincere and patriotic individuals to represent us.
As far as I'm concerned, none of them is a saint including the Sanni though he must be commended....but then, you'll still see the gullible once shouting the praises of Saraki, dino and the likes for scamming them into believing they are doing something....they are merely playing games on the intelligence of the youths especially.

Omeokachie:
Shehu Sani should take over from Buhari come 2019.

...if wishes were horses...he is one of the few northerners who stood up to ibb and sani abacha from the early 90's and was once sentenced to life imprisonment while mr pighting kwarapshun was busy dining with kwarapshun...

A country that has the highest percentage of poor people on earth has the most expensive cost of government.

Why are you behaving like an NwaAmaikpe?

No wonder they kill each and do all sort of terrible things just to win election (into the senate and other elected positions).

They can ensure that the minimum wage is lifted from 18k yet they pocket a whopping 13.5m and additional 750k including others we cannot see.

God will definitely judge these people

Why I revealed how much we earn as senators – Shehu Sani
March 12, 2018

Kemi Busari

Shehu Sani, the Nigerian senator who revealed that he and his colleagues receive N13.5 million as running cost monthly, has explained why he exposed his colleagues.

Mr. Sani in an interview with BBC said the payment is a ‘moral issue.’

“I decided to burst it open. It was a moral issue,” he said.

He said that the National Assembly is being run with little accountability about how the money is spent.

He wants the illegal payment to be scrapped so that the legislative arm of government will be attractive only to people who can contribute ideas.

“The National Assembly is one of the most non-transparent organs of government. It pricked my conscience and I decided to burst the bubble and open the National Assembly to public scrutiny.

“If the expenses payment system was ended then parliament would only be attractive to people who contribute ideas,” he told BBC.

Mr. Sani had in an interview with TheNews revealed that he and his colleagues receive N13.5 million monthly as “running cost”, aside a N750, 000 monthly consolidated salary and allowances which they also receive.

Mr. Sani’s revelation is the first by a lawmaker from the Senate since the clamour by Nigerians for a full disclosure of lawmakers’ earnings.

The revelation has sparked widespread anger among Nigerians who had always criticised the lawmakers for arbitrarily allocating jumbo pay to themselves.

this is what happens when igbos embrace hatred against hausas and vice versa plus yoruba. we Nigerians need to realize what our problems are. a country where a region/regions apparently legalize hate speech against ther president and vowed never to support him for good /bad. I know he gets things wrong sometimes jst like he's supposed to invite shehu Sani for way forward,towards slashing this extravagant bias income acquisition. but, he should also be commended for his good work. let us love one another Nigerians. I've been to almost all the regions in nigeria and I saw how dis united we are. with this,terrorist will find home here,so called hierarchies will forever oppress/hamper the contribution of ordinary civilians. let's nt fight each other, let's fight them. THE SENATORS AND HOUSE OF REPS are the main political threat. we shouldn't support those who cares less abt us because we don't like the president. ONE LOVE

I know they will come for shehu sani jugular in the Senate but the truth is we Nigerians deserve to know how much people in position of trust earn because they are paid from taxpayer's money. The national assembly has been ran like a cult since 1999 n it takes only a courageous, refined n trusted gentleman like shehu sank to open up. And the question is do we deserve to know? Yes, then he sen. Sani has done nothing wrong n should be commended. I celebrate you sen. Shehu Sani I wish to exchange you for the senator representing Ebonyi central

Thanks for this Sen.Shehu Sani.


Where is Sen. Common Sense? he should please stop deceiving himself and his family.

Bravo Sen. Shehu Sani. The then CBN Governor, now Emir of Kano said the Nigeria senate need to be scrapped as their consuming more than 25 % of our national income. The rogues almost eat him raw then.

Wont your people collecting the money now in the national assembly join you in the land of the rising Sun? Infact, they will be your leaders and the party continues for them, not for you!

simple logic... we rant, shout, banter one another virtually and physically... we don't Have a common goal and focus.. imagine Venezuela coming out to beat and send their legislatives out... we can't fight these people..they are sacred cows... why??
they feed some foot soldiers who can die for them.. Nigeria needs revolution but a collective one...

Kestolovee95:
Sen. Shehu the zoogerians you are fighting for do not worth it. They are too docile and cowardly to do anything about the Jumbo pay, they'll just go about their suffer-suffer lives and abandon you to pay a heavy price for trying to be a revolutionary. You'll then gnash your teeth and regret ever taking with them zoogerians when you could have remained silent and chop your own Jumbo pay peacefully. Just watch..

my tots

Its just an unfortunate situation my dear,the highest that can happen it just to react 4 few days and dats it...we re really in a serious bleeped up situation in ds Godforsaken shithole..so sad

Well said bro, the system here is dead long ago and the youths are not helping matter
