The acting Clerk of the legislative chamber, Mr. Niyi Ajiboye, yesterday disclosed that he once had to object to a N98 million proposal for a body massage equipment to the office of the Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Olubunmi Etteh.

Let me tell you that a request for a body massager with a cost price of N98 million was even presented to me from the office of the Speaker. I advised that it was not our priority and it was not a legislative business. I turned the body massager request down. And when I did that, they sought my head," he said.

His words: "What happened in this case is not a new thing. It has been happening. Sometimes there are requests by members for sponsorship to travel to the United States (US.) which has nothing to do with the legislative business. But when I turn them down, they will not like it."

This woman na real scammer o.

Next dispensation, the Speaker will ask for a diamond ring worth N2.6 billion to discharge his official duties.

By the way, there is a body massage equipment for N100 million ($80,000)? For God sake, that is the price of a house, 2 cars and a family along with it.

Though I find the Clerk's word hard to believe, but we've heard enough of Etteh. She must go.

98 million naira is about $771,000. That's a quarter of a million dollars for a body massage machine!

We should listen to what she has to say before we start crucifying her, but I seriously doubt her innocence!

@Denex

Its a stressful job being Speaker.She needs the best equipment to enable her carry out her function

Jesus Christ you're right! $771,000. That three quarters of a million dollars. Mo gbe!

Which company is going to build such an equipment. Is it going to be installed inside a building or it comes complete with its own 12 bedroom, 3 storey building?

Ah, massager! You don't know, maybe the equipment comes with swimming pool and sauna and a gym and tennis court and other facilities that we don't know about. Anything is possible.

I'll tell you what it is. These people just sit in their offices and think up ways to siphon money from the system. They think it's still an anything goes government. There is nothing too outrageous for them to come up with. Have you not heard that bottled water for bathing is included in their budgets?

Na hear I hear o. I no knowooo

why are we shouting as if we do not know how gov contracts run.
the godfathers have their shares, the relevant authorities that will approve the contract will have their shares, the initiators of the contract will have their shares and so on and so fort.
that is exactly what is happening in the gov's contracts.
the woman can ask nigerians to buy her tissue for toilet at the cost 500 million.

You can get a good massage chair and other equipments for nothing less than RMB30,000( $4000).Even there are some equipment that cost less than $200. We have to realistic, how could someone request for such huge amount for massager? I tire for this naija ooo.

*keeping tabs*

Sounds fantastic to me I must say.

Just got back from a very stressful site Inspection, my organisation needs to get me that type of massager or else i will down tools.hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is madness, that woman is mean, she must go b/4 it is too late.

E don be for naija

In any respectable country, this woman would have resigned weeks ago.

mazaje:

E don be for naija

Omo this one past Idan ooo.

What kind of extravagant b***h of a woman is this.
Na wa oooooooo

This is not extravagance O! This is holding the full nation maga.


In the name of Osun, we did not send this woman on official duty to go and party in the USA. Why does she want to use us to recoup the money?

Afterall, even yahoo boys will first receive first payment from maga before celebrating.

How can this woman catch Nigeria maga, and after she recieve RP she borrowed money to go and celebrate in the USA. Now she wants to force the maga to pay.

Which kain by-force national G levels be this?

Mrs Etteh appeared so sophisticated when she was elected to occupy that post. I for once was really excited that a woman was the one to occupy that seat.
Bretheren, this mess is quite disgusting.
But pls lets give her that "benefit of doubt" and allow her tell us her own side of the story. We need to at least hear from her.

I keep on saying it, when your father sent you to theif you will definitely break the door with your leg,
reason your father is there for you as he sent you.
What do u expect from her?
My People this is just the begining.
EFCC are they not their? maybe they have cut how knows.

Shit
If madam Etteh really budgeted almost 99milNGN for a massage machine, then we really need boot her yansh out of office with no chance of hearing anything.

There is no massaging machine even in HEAVEN worth that price! Be like say him think say naija people na goats to take for a ride abi!

wow by the day i get tired of my sick country lead by a dying president and callous Godfathers
