If yaradua shud hear dis, i'm sure he wont die again. a least he will want to live and collect some money b4 he finally go. anyways, our leader is sick, some are increasing mone, ii tire for dis country


SHALOM

this cannot be happening!!!!!!!!!!!!
country needs help!

IMHO, N2bn is just too small,as a reward for all their efforts for our motherland.

Why not issue them blank ,signed CBN cheques instead

l hope this is not true-chai

Is Yaradua ex or present.

Foaming with anger. I think soon we'll all have to travel to yemen, Seriously.

Since they can't get our dear sick President to resign, they are trying to give him a "stimulus package" to reconsider

Nigerians are bound to complain. Lets face facts, 2bn means about 180mn monthly. Pls for Gods sake,how is that a crime?

Lets forget the fact that the squandered the nations money. But that is not the bone of contention.

As a sitting President, the security vote is over 500Million or 750million a month apart form other allowances and a Governor gets over 250mn, so y wont an ex-president be comfortable. 250mn a year is ridiculous. The increase is a welcome development.

This Ex-presidents deserve it.

i did not have the courage to read every detail because i was weeping for my loved country.Can somebody condole me? i pity the country of over 150mil,i leave very well in america but what of my relatives these so called slowpoke called politicians are killing everyday?when is the right time for right thinking people to lead us.

Funny *wry smile*, trully and trully funny,

Have got a better idea for them, Instead of rewarding any tom and D i c k(Moderator d i c k na person name as well)who has occupied Nigeria's seat of power, rewards/emoluments are disbursed to only deserving ex-presidents.

How will they achieve this you may ask? Well an independent panel can determine how well the country faired; Outgoing presidents come to the panel to present their various reports, the panel comes to a decision based on the info, and then gives a recommendation to the senate to either include or exclude president from pensions and/or salaries.

That way good governance is rewarded.

Criticism wont work on the worst of fiends, even Alcapone never accepted guilt for his crimes, we need workable solutions not criticism.
My 2 cents

This guys cannot loot again now they sponsor their stooges to make it possible through other seemingly legitimate means.

Obasanjo must have the money in order to remain relevant in politics of Godfatherism. The stupid errand boy knew he may not get that much approved but he knows he can at worst get for his thieving godfathers.

They have looted us dry. It is like fetching from the pond to fill the sea.

Na wa. Nigeria una say una no go talk?

The question we should be asking is "Where is the money going to come from?" The reality hasn't yet dawn on these folks that oil is no longer what it used to be. Except if they plan on plunging the country further into debt by borrowing from World Bank / IMF to satisfy themselves at the citizen's expense. Only if people like Farouk Mutallab will be reasonable enough to pay these former leaders a visit at their houses, then will they identify with the pains and sufferings of Nigerians. It's only in Nigeria that leaders are only concerned about themselves and neglect the people whom they are supposed to lead and cater for. How about we all just leave the country for them and emigrate elsewhere? It seems that they are already telling us that we are irrelevant in the scheme of things. They can exist without us. Therefore, they don't need us to be leaders. They can lead the oil fields.

Shame! Shame !! Shame !!!

Why do you guys believe this crap? If it's not in any Nigerian dailies, then it's just a cock-and-bull crap.

Don't give yourselves hypertension.There's one problem on ground at the moment.

well, i believed that fair in addition with what they have stolen,
after all their portion are on earth,when they get to heaven, they will not regret any verdict given to them

Bunch of Country distructing blooming thieves!!!

Johnpaul88:

It's outrageous !

More like ridiculous.

Should they be paid more money
or we ask them to pay back
For neglecting the masses,maladministration,looting and first class corruption
Many years of ruling and ruining Nigeria
The land flowing with milk ,honey and fuel
Can only show
BAD ROADS,DARKNESS,WATER PROBLEM ,UNEMPLOYMENT
ACHIEVERS CAN ONLY BE REWARDED NOT FAILURES
ALL THEY WANT IS MONEY MONEY MONEY7 AND MONEY
HOPE WHEN THEY DIE SOONER OR LATER
THEY WILL REST IN MONEY,MONEY,MONEY AND MONEY

That is in recognition of a job well done. Aren't they very proud of what Nigeria has become? God 'ave mercy!

That is N300 Million per annum each
That is N25 Million per month each
That is N1 Million per day each minus Sunday
If working 24 hours a day = N41,667 per hour
If working 8 hours a day = N125,000 per hour

But they don't even actively work for the nation. So they attend Council of State Meetings, but they are paid N500,000 allowance each for each session. All these on top is also welfare provisions, cars, police escorts etc. etc.

loving dis analysis!!!!!!!!!!

I love my country I no go lie
Na inside am i go steal and die

unclebros:

Good analysis.

If they like let them give The Ex-President THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. All the so called contributions of the Ex-President put together where has it taken  the Nation to and what is History saying concerning them. N2Billion is too small You can simply put Nigeria inside thier pockets. God Punish Satan

Dotman01:

You are very stupid, IBB na your baba?God punish you

jay bee:

The headline is misleading as it's only a proposal.

why will someone in his RIGHT sences propose these.

Wrex:

Amen ooo, na thunder go strike them and wipe out there family, may all there generation suffer and beg for food

guy leave their families out of these, na the folish people wey propose these rubbish make we face

So all you can do is shouting,cursing,calling names and whining like bitches.You guys too are a very big disgrace.Read the history of Ghana and see what concern citizens ought to do.

No wonder people are killing themselves to be president. I must be president even if it is for a day. N2b per annual is enough for me after retiring the second day.

i think its a lie jo!
1st. the senate/rep hasnt resumed for the year, so where did he present this proposal?

2nd. there are more pressing issues they are to discuss than more money for ex presidents.(yaradua and the other umar)
3. newspaper would have being carrying the story boldly on the frontpages.

please disregard the post,it was meant for another thread
