Some LGA Chairmen allocates as much as N10M-N40m monthly as security vote. The median vote of Governors is N400m monthly

kingbus:
400mllion naira is about 2million dollars !!!! What are they securing? The problem with nigeria is system. This nation needs a total overhaul and restructuring. The problem wasn't gej but the system he met on ground and likewise the snail approach to issues by buhari is due to the system he met on ground too.

barcanista:
You are complaining of N400m? Rivers Gov vote is N1.5b monthly, Delta N2B, Akwa Ibom N1.8B, Lagos N1.5B all MONTHLY.... Anambra 700m, Edo 1B etc...



MOTHLY O

I think the issue is the constituency allowances which is handed to them, which they pocket and let the people wallow in lack and underdevelopment.

The constituency allowances should be ensured to be properly utilized.

I opine these lawmakers should be part-time workers.

kingbus:
so why the hell are nigerians shouting on top these reps and senators ,when a governor collects 1.5billion naira monthly for doing nothing That means fashola is worth at least 30billion naira for been a governor for 8yrs!!!!! I won't be surprised if ministers are even given security votes. Buhari should reveal how much is appropriated to his office as security votes too. The rep was right but many are blinded by sentiments and party affiliation,corruption in nigeria is endemic .edo 1billion naira monthly,no wonder he became so rich he had to travel to find a lady worthy of his standards. Naija is in deep shit and yet these governors are owing 7 to 13months worker salaries oooo !!

barcanista:
if these men disclose their true Financial standing you will weep. We are not even talking of kick-backs, diversion of funds meant for white elephant projects, racketeering and outright theft. Some DGs and MDs in Agencies and Departments have their own votes. It is crazy

Mr House of Rep, Charity begins at home.

There is no point beating around the bush, show a good example by cutting down your allowances first.

Others will follow suit. Buhari will handle his DSS Operatives, EFCC,ICPC,and co. will fish out corrupt individuals.

We know you might not sponsor any bill, all we are saying is CUT DOWN YOUR ALLOWANCES !! Oil prices are dwindling, you and your colleagues should be patriotic and make amendments.

N.B: I can see a man with a broom happy because the Rep is from PDP, another opportunity to bash pointlessly, this is an issue that cuts across all party lines.

They are there to work for Nigerian's. So this is part of the work. We Nigerian's say we cannot afford to pay you. If the money is too small, biko quit the job let a more serious person assume the position. We must make these positions very unattractive. The killings will stop during election. Everyone will go and find work.

Gliding:

Rarely do I see such display of insight as you have done on Nairaland nowaday . The earlier people realise that fighting for the good of this country should overshadow party affiliations, the better.

luvmijeje:
Someone should tell our honourable thieves they were elected to serve the people. The country is facing economic downturn and we all need everyone to sacrifice his/her pocket for the sake of this country.

Good idea.
But I think constituency allowance should be cancelled. They should function as lawmakers and not execute projects because it gives a lot of room for corruption.

ojosegun2011:
The truth is that Nigerians really don't know the exact figure of the legislators' emoluments and by this we can't be really sure if they are over paid or not. One important thing that needs to be addressed is the unnecessary demands of polticians' constituents and hangers-on. Law makers are not expected to give people money but they are continuously under pressures and undue demands to give people money, yet this same people that take from them are in the fore-front of agitation for their pay cut. People are not fair and inconsistent. We need to make them comfortable to be able to legislate effectively.
