He has been on pension since he was ousted. This news of 23million naira per annum was just an increment made by the national assembly in 2010.

Sure, women should appreciate and reciprocate this characteristics of their men. That would only make the relationship more stronger.
lafflaff123:
Sadly i have to agree with everything you wrote.

It makes sense.

And since i believe in the law of reciprocity, it will be fair if the same principles is applied by the females towards the men too.

1. Just listen. Give them a chance to voice their inner thoughts and feelings.

2. Listen without offering unsolicited advice or blame.

3. Teach them your problem solving skills.

4. Solve problems with them, not for them.

5. If you don’t understand what they are saying, ask them questions.

6. Offer feedback that says you understand what they are telling you.

7. Be compassionate as you listen.

8. Resist laughing or mocking them in what they have to say.

9. Offer them advice with humility.

10. Use facial expressions and body language so that they know you’re really hearing them.

11. Always let them express themselves to harness their full potential.

12. Correcting her in private and not in public.

13. Give her time to learn.

Ladies in the house, over to you.

yeah! They are very aggressive kind of people. I am of the view you just ignore them and dwell on issues.
Ngwakwe:
Why do most Buhari supporters lack necessary attributes of civility? They are either insulting or threatening people online while showing off savagery in the real world..

If you refuse to believe their lies, they become violent and abusive.

Gosh, its becoming frustrating being a Buhari supporter for lack of purpose, vision and outdatedness of their principal (Pa Buhari).

This are prisons in Norway. I hope and pray Buhari should build Nigeria prisons to be modelled like this.

Since he started his campaign he has been campaigning about jailing people in prison. No other meaningfull issue other than jailing people.

Please, In this type of prison our youths would be able to achieve their potentials and talents, since buhari has no other vision. Atleast, they can read well, Gym, produce music in the prison studios and even give birth to babies.

It is also Dino the tout that fought in the national assembly. He is a progressive tout.

Dino is a complete tout.

Is he not the one that goes about having extramarital sex without condom? Denying and later accepting responsibility after the worst became obvious.

Is it not Dino that used his T-shirt for kindergarten practices?

I don't know what made you think otherwise.

please, can we see the letter? All i posted is, all former heads of state collect 23million naira monthly. Is buhari not a former head of state?
gmaribel:
Buhari wrote a letter to the Minister of Finance and said he should only be paid 10% of the N23m they give all past leaders as monthly salary. That means, while other ex-Nigerian Presidents and Heads of State are getting N23million monthly, Buhari gets only N2.3million.

Happy days continue for former presidents
By Festus Owete
January 4, 2010



Nigeria's former presidents and heads of state who are still alive should get an even better deal from the federal government this year following plans by the National Assembly to review their monthly welfare package upwards.

The chairman of the House of Representatives committee on appropriation, Ayo Adeseun, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with NEXT.

The money is meant to take care of the former leaders' pension, medicare, yearly vacation abroad, offices and general maintenance. This is besides the N500,000 each of the former leaders is reportedly paid whenever they attend the Council of State meeting, which is held periodically.

Well deserved?

Only seven out of the 12 presidents and heads of states who have ruled the country are still alive. They are Yakubu Gowon (1966-1975), Olusegun Obasanjo (1975-1979 and 1999-2007), Shehu Shagari (1979-1983), Muhammadu Buhari (1983-1985), and Ibrahim Babangida (1985-1993). The others are Ernest Shonekan (Aug 1993-November 17, 1993), and Abdulsalam Abubakar (1998-1999) .

Those who have passed on are Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (prime minister), Aguiyi-Ironsi, amilitary general (Jan 1966-July 1966), Nnamdi Azikiwe (ceremonial president), Murtala Muhammed and Sani Abacha, both of who were military rulers.

Mr. Adeseun, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State said the former leaders deserved better treatment because of the services they rendered to the country, adding that they will convince the executive arm during the budget defence sessions on the planned increase. The lawmaker stated that the N250 million in the 2010 budget is inadequate for the welfare of the leaders, due to the rising cost of living and other issues.

He also said that the vehicles for the former leaders are due for replacement. "Yes, I am aware of the allocation, but we think it is inadequate," he said. "We think we should review the allocation to about N2 billion, if it is the one you are talking about. This money is meant to take care of their accommodation, vehicles, medical expenses and other allowances. These are people who have served this nation and they should be properly taken care of."

Asked how the lawmakers would convince the executive on the matter, the lawmaker said "it is not for them to convince us, we will convince them. They are still coming to defend the budget and so during our interaction we will talk about it."

The welfare train

Allocations for the former leaders' welfare began in 2005, when a total of N140 million was set aside for them in that year's budget. Subsequently, the following allocations were made - N105 million (2006); N24 million (2008) and N250 million (2009). However, no allocation was made in the 2007 budget. It may have been integrated into another item under the office of the SGF.

Until 2008 when the allocation was brought under the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), it was treated under the Presidency or State House.

The emolument is different from that of the sitting president, who takes home N3.5 million annually. The president also earns various forms of allowances.

There have been many contentious issues over the welfare package and allowances of the former presidents and heads of state. For instance, several human rights activists have argued that former military leaders should not be entitled to the package because they rebelled against the Nigerian state by seizing power in military coup d'etat.

There have also been allegations that the emoluments of the former leaders is politicised by sitting governments. For instance, in November 2008, the federal government allegedly withdrew the vehicles attached to Mr. Buhari because of his role in the planned formation of a mega party by opposition figures in the country to challenge the ruling PDP. Mr. Buhari was the presidential candidate of the opposition All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2003 and 2007 elections.

But the Office of the SGF refuted the claim. According to Salisu Dambatta, a deputy director (information) in the office of the SGF, in a statement, "It is normal to allocate vehicles to all former presidents and replace such vehicles when the need arises. In line with that practice, General Buhari's vehicle was replaced in 2008 with a new one."

On the regularity of the payments, Mr. Dambatta said "Some of the packages are paid as and when due, while some are paid on a quarterly basis. All benefits former heads of state are treated equally. For the avoidance of doubt, government has never stopped General Buhari's pension."

A spokesperson of The Buhari Organisation (TBO), Osita Okechukwu, however told NEXT last Thursday that the Peugeot car recovered from the former head of state is yet to be returned to him.

Mr. Okechukwu, who is also the spokesperson of the opposition Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), revealed that it was the Sani Abacha administration that gave Mr. Buhari the vehicle, noting that "even Obasanjo did not give him anything."

That N500, 000 allowance

Aside from the welfare package, each of the former leaders who are automatic members of the Council of State collects N500,000 whenever they attend the meeting.

This is included in the "Certain Political and Judicial Officer Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc) Act" that was prepared by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

The Council of State is an advisory body which meets six times a year to deliberate and take decision on crucial issues affecting the country.

Membership of the council, according to Section 153 (1)(b), paragraph 5 includes the president, who shall be chairman; the vice president, who shall be the deputy chairman and all former presidents of the federation and former heads of government.

It also includes all former chief justices of Nigeria, the president of the senate, the speaker of the House of Representatives, the 36 state governors and the Attorney General of the Federation.

Politics / Buhari Earns 23million Naira Per Month As Pension. by lurther: 1:25pm On Jan 09, 2015
How can a former Head of State who earns 300 million Naira per annum, say he has no N27 Million to buy presidential nomination for? Yes, it is true, All heads of states collect on the average 23 million Naira every month.

I don't know what to believe anymore. If Buhari earns 23million naira every month as pension, then, his two months pension fee can buy him a nomination form.

Why then the lie, that he couldn't afford the APC presidential form? I guess campaign strategy to appeal to the masses that he is poor because he tries to build an image of a former head of state living in penury.
