Its a welcome development.

100k is understandable for the members but 500k for speaker is too much. At least 350 would have been ok.

You are talking Trash! I repeat TRASH!

If this wrong step is not revoked successive greedy politicians will scale their benefits up the ladder by doubling and trippling their own pensions.

Then we are faced with NO END to this drama.

We should not create a bad precedent as it will have a far reaching consequences.

In this time of economic melt down, our honourables should run the legislature or parliament on part time and be given part time stipend.

Not this Buffalo or elephant meat � they are demanding for.

There is God O!

this is bad news, before you know other States will emulate them. I think these politicians are calling for revolution with their own hand.

They know that we are not ready for any revolution and prefer to wait for our own turn at the corruption table or for someone we know to get their and spread the largess to us also.
Have you ever told the politicians you know that they should stop stealing and work for the people instead

Are Bayelsans smarter than Lagosians?
Did Lagosians protest when Vacant pastor (VP) Osunabnde as LASG Attorney General in 2007 drafted Tinubu's outrageous pensions Bill



Pensions for governors in Nigeria are mostly the same across the board including Lagos state, but this topic is about every member of the legislature collecting lifetime pension is quite different from your rant about Tinubu.

You people can not contribute logically to any discussion without shouting Tinubu left and right as if Tinubu is the beginning and end of everything under the sun.

Are you denying the fact that this useless thieving legalised thieving trend was started by your Thiefnuibu and his houseboy Osunbande

daywalker02:
According to a Lagos Pension Law approved by former governor Bola Tinubu in 2007, a former governor will enjoy the following benefits for life: Two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja. (Property experts estimates such a house in Lagos to cost N500 million and Abuja N700 million.)

Others are six brand new cars replaceable every three years; furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a close to N2.5 million as pension (about N30 million pension annually).

He will also enjoy security detail, free medicals including for his immediate families.

Other benefits are 10 percent house maintenance, 30 percent car maintenance, 10 percent entertainment, 20 percent utility, and several domestic staff.

Bayelsa House of Assembly on Wednesday approved monthly pensions to speakers, deputy speakers and other members of assembly.

The bill sponsored by the leader of the House, Peter Akpe, which was passed on the floor of the House, approved N500,000 post service monthly pension to the speakers of the assembly.The deputy speakers are to earn monthly pension of N200, 000 while other rest 24-member capacity assembly will earn N100,000 each.

The bill specifically provided that former lawmakers including persons of Bayelsa origin, who served in the old Rivers State, would enjoy life pensions for their services in the state as applicable to former presidents, vice-presidents, governors and deputy governors across the country.

To qualify for the speakership pension of N500, 000 monthly, the lawmaker the person must have served for two years and above.Most stakeholders in Bayelsa State took to different social media platforms to criticise the bill, deriding the lawmakers for being selfish and insensitive.

A resident, Fidel Boboye, described the move as greed in the highest places and wondered why such political office holders with the wealth and money they had amassed still awarded life pensions to themselves.

Another resident Preye Alegbe, said: “Is this not too much for these persons even as there are many graduates out there without good jobs? Why can’t the legislature channel these legislations to areas where the younger generations can benefit more”.

My friend, no need to get mad. This is Nigeria & believe me, there is little or no Tendency of it been revoked. It will stand.

Remember, When a Fish wants to get rotten, it begins from d Head. Our Nation is bad from the Presidency which you & I Know. Our problem is, we tend to act as if we don't know what is right & wrong. We only have social media powers, ranting on social media platforms.

Stop acting as if u dnt already know this country is corrupt. How genuine is ur Corruption Fighting President.

Godswill Akpabio became a billionaire through d PDP for years, now he's in APC nearly a year if am not mistaken & termed PDP as corrupt.

I am a realist, I see things the way they are & again, how many of the members kicked against d bill. None!!

Be sincere, if u were in their shoes, wouldn't u welcome d idea??

You're here accepting the rubbish being done by the Bayelsa lawmakers without even raising a voice or typing a word "no", calling yourself a realist. But at the same time mentioning the president as if the fight against corruption is up to him and him alone. You even said 100k and 350k is okay, is that how you are raising your own voice against corruption?

Now, you're turning a serious matter into something else. Can't you people make contributions without names calling, names spelling distortion, bringing in tribalism or partisan politics?
If I remember correctly, the life pensions for governors and deputy governors was started by either Rivers state or Akwa Ibom state and copied by the other one. Lagos State was like the third state to copy it. The madness was started by the FG

Those who passed the bill, another set of them will reverse it, just watch out. You're not a realist but pessimistist. Optimistism is good, I hope you know that. Thanks
