Incase you don't know.

A Senator goes home with some 13m in each month as salary. That makes N156m in one year and N624m in a single term of 4 years for one person. Two terms come to N1.248b from tax payers’ sweat. This is probably more than what the entire civil servants in Bayelsa, Plateau or Bornu States can safe in four years. A House of Rep member rakes in N9m per month as salary. It comes to N108m in one year, N432m in a single term of four years and N864m in eight years for one person, almost the entire budget of a state at a point, going to one person for making useless laws for us.
The entire 109 Senators take N17, 004,000,000 -Seventeen Billion and four million naira- in just one year. That is enough to build a refinery. If you take into consideration 109 Senators in four years, you arrive at N68,016,000,000- Sixty Eight Billion and sixteen million naira. If I have that, I will almost build railways from Lagos to Jos. The House of Rep total N155,520,000 -One Hundred and Fifty Five Billion, Five Hundred and Twenty million naira in four years. Don’t multiply by eight years, so that you don’t cause hypertension.

Now the Constituency Allowance !!!

A Senator is entitled to some N200million Constituency Allowance while House of Rep is entitled to 100m Constituency allowance. It means in each year, 109 Senators collect N21,800,000,000-Twenty One Billion and Eight Hundred Million Naira while House of Rep members collect Constituency Allowance of N36,000,000,000.00-N36billion naira in just one year. This is crazy, in a country where Professors and medical doctors are not well paid. They even earn more than state governors.

Now, if each Senator collects N200m in one year-I hope it is once in four years- it means each Senator is at will to spend N800m of public funds in four years and N1.6b in eight years without resort to public scrutiny and each House of Rep member to spent N400m in four years and N800m in eight years without any consultation with the people. This is madness.

OGA PETER OBI

Ngige was sworn in May 29, 2003. That year Anambra State generated N800m in revenue. 2004, the revenue quadrupled to N3.6bn, 2005, the previous year's revenue doubled to N7.4bn.
March 2006, he got booted out of office for operating with a stolen mandate and Peter Obi was sworn in Same 2006, revenue dips by over 40% to N4bn, He left office in March 2014 leaving the IGR at N8bn (2013). 2014, IGR jumped to N10bn. The numbers for 2021are not yet out but 2020 puts the State's IGR at N28bn.
I think there is so much to unpack here. In ~3yrs, Ngige was able x9 the State's IGR, Obiano was able to do x3.5 while Peter Obi could barely move the needle. It took Peter Obi 8 YEARS to surpass what he met on ground and the difference was just a billion.

Is this the person you people are saying will perform wonders after buhari?

I need to paint a picture of Ngige's three years so we understand. Ngige got sworn in May, by June, he had fallen out with his godfathers for reneging on their agreement. July, he was abducted and forced to resign, He managed to scale through that hurdle and was back in office. Those year, there was a court judgement that sacked him from office. The Police withdrew his security on the advice of the AGF. For 8 months, a governor was being guarded by vigilantes and private security

Same 2004, in November, hoodlums allegedly financed by the Uba brothers (Ngige's erstwhile godfathers) took over Anambra for three days, they burnt down govt buildings, the govt's radio stations, I think govt house was also torched, Ngige's office and I think his deputy's

This is the environment Ngige operated and was able to x9 the State's revenue. Peter didn't also have it easy, he got impeached same year he was sworn in but he was there for 8 YEARS.

Got the keys to two major commercial centres (Nnewi & Onitsha) and this is his result
Looking at the numbers again, Peter Obi met a State totally dependent on FAAC, the ration of FAAC to IGR is about 83:17 and left it in that same state. They could barely pay salaries alone from the State's revenue. This is the person that wants to transform Nigeria ��

"Peter Obi is a businessman so he is going to create a business-friendly environment". Let's verify.

In 2008, the first Ease of doing business report was piloted in Nigeria with 10 states. Anambra tied with Kano at No. 8.

8 out of 10. Two years later, in 2010, another ranking was done, this time capturing all the States, Anambra came 35

Under a trader, Anambra was the 35th hardest place to do business in Nigeria ���

Someone will just come and be bamboozling. He says Nigeria's budget per citizen on healthcare is N5/day, ask him how he much budgeted when he was governor. 2006 census puts Anambra's population at 4.1m. I doubt that man ever budgeted up to N1.5bn. Let's dash him N2bn, that's N1.3

"He pay salary, he pay salary". Doctors went on strike for 13 months!

He tried his best but he still left a kidnappers HQ. Traditional rulers, expats, people in academics, the rich, everybody felt the brunt.

The daughter of a lawmaker was killed when they were trying to kidnap her mom, that was the second attempt

He will go on ARISE and say it's because Nigeria is not providing jobs, that's why crime rate is on the rise. Agreed but which ones did he provide as governor or how did his state become a kidnapper's haven? Evans was operating there before he migrated to Lagos.

Someone that did not think pensions was important till an elderly woman seized his bible. He has shamelessly told this story repeatedly because he knows Nigeria place a premium on entertainment, humility & religiosity.
"Aw, he still goes to Mass", "No bodyguard?" "hehehe" mschew

His first term was nothing to write home about. Even APGA Chairman acknowledged it. They had to use Ojukwu's health to emotionally blackmail to get him a second term.
