Day don break please let's stand up and shout enough is enough

*PMB is not the problem of Nigeria*

Please read this post by VOA (Victor Okechukwu Anyaegbuna)
I repeat, PMB is not the problem of Nigeria. Take it or leave it.
So
WHO ARE THE KLEPTOCRATS?
Read this intriguing and provocative piece; yet Nigerians refuse to be provoked instead holding one man, Buhari, responsible for all their woes!
How far can you push a Nigerian before he reacts like an angry lion?
Isn't it a ridiculous mockery and insult that Nigerians are the only world citizens that when pushed to the wall, spend more energy to break the wall and cross over rather than fight back?
Read this and let's know who our real enemies and shameless oppressors are - GOVERNORS, EX-GOVERNORS, SENATORS, REPS. Can't we do something to get rid of these big thieves that use our power against us?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
NIGERIANS WAKE UP!
A lion never shies away from a fight when it is hungry, neither does it blame the buffalo for resisting or refusing to be eaten.
How come our forefathers dared death and everything to give us a sane society?
Shaaaaaame!!!
Please endeavour to read this very interesting piece!

STATE OF THE NATION
A SELF DECEIVING COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA

Twenty-one senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.

The current senators who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun.

The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.

Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN).).

In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.

In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.

It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.

This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.

NOW I ASK:
How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?

As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?

IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......

Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.

Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria. The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.

Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US President or 9 times the salary of US congressmen.

It's high time the country had a referendum on those outrageous salaries of Senators, House of Representative members and other political office holders.

WeShallSee:
Ooni was sitting,
Saraki had just arrived; standing.

Both of them used their two hands to greet..Out of respect for their offices.

Ooni represents the people of Ife (or by extension; the Yorubas)
Saraki represents all the 109 representatives of Nigeria.

Let's keep our sentiments aside, many of you here will bow down to greet saraki if you were ever opportuned.

In this particular scenario, the Ooni held his stool high by remaining seated.

What more do you want ??

Besides, for people like Ooni and co whose stools are for life, a great deal of humility is required or else they earn the wrath of God as time goes by. It's not easy to be a leader for life.

Deal with that. #WeShallSee

True talk
Nice damage control and nicely said

NCAN are so disappointed
Lol

Wow saw some Dane guns and many antiquity qualified guns that should go to our museums

A great kingdom where kings are truely born and not made by man

Really don't see anything wrong if the jet is returned and anytime the president is ready to come back the jet can go and bring him back. It will be cheaper that way because am sure the pilots and air hostess are staying in a hotel that's being paid for by tax payers money.

Please if you think my suggestion is better than just parking the jet there click like to create awareness please

sagerasaq:
Na wa ooo.... Later you go hear say d woman no spit on her purposely...
Useless whites..

Useless Whites
That's a rasist comment so you are guilty of racism also let guard our utterance

Please even if you reduce the money to 1 million dolarsi will encourage my grandfather to take it and bless me with the money he is already 98 yrs old
I don't want to be greedy just reduce the money

If not for the economic situation in Zimbabwe I trust Mugabe would have loved to park his presidential jet and stay long in the hospital while recovering. Because of poor economy that's why he is doing short time.
Money good ooo see as Nigeria president relax and is taking his time to recover knowing his transport is on alert to ferry him back anytime

Unconditionalov:
They should use sharia law to judge him

You want them to give him short sleeve lolmen you dey vex

Edo state is juju fearing not God fearing

What ever works that makes Edo state not to be among the 10 states is OK with me as for me and my house we will serve the lord Jesus Christ

To my lekki guys out there just paddle the canoe a little further dry seasons will be here soon and you can be on top of your game its only a seasonal thing .

See bad market for olosho.
Who knows maybe this will bring sense to women dense brain seeing as there is competition that doesn't nag and they the women can be used as baby mama

Edo state is not that bad after all seems Edo state is more God fearing compared to most States in Nigeria as a whole

My take on this matter is that she removed her accumulated salary and returned the rest which is not bad at all.
I would have done the same by removing my accumulated salary and return the remaining balance.
No wrong there if that's what she did

Pics?

OK let's see how it goes

dingbang:
I know that this can't happen in Nigeria

You forget so soon thata student was flogged in unilag

Imagine the police wants to arrest everyone that has placed negative comments on buhari through Facebook or our own nairaland.
Prison go full remain

One of the reasons we have helicopter

No wonder properties in festac are so so expensive as you can't see flood there
Ever wonder why we have helicopters

Nice one

ecoeco:
Buhari is busy landing on hospital beds



#Eco99#

You forget so easily that when Buhari was in his prime as president he was landing from country to country that's a record on its own

As sure footed as a mountain goat.
It is safe to say as sure footed as a climbing tree goat
Wonders they say shall never end

Leaders in other countries would have resigned faced with this kind problem if they. Ant solve it.
Is it by force to be a governor and yet you can't pay salaries for what ever reason. Must you cling to power at all cost

This was how bokoharam started by attacking Christians and churches till they upgraded their security the bokooharam turned on Muslims and mosques.
Herds men have been targeting the south of Nigeria and it seems its no go area now they have shifted their attacks to the North and maybe when the christian farmers in the north upgrade their security by what ever means the herds men will face the Muslim farmers.
Enough is enough please security men do the needful before Fulani herds men issue gets out of hand as it was never like this before but since 2015 they have become bold

trustyshoess:
Another tragedy in the name of keeping a marriage. Silly backwards mentality. If she had left earlier, the same people saying RIP and insulting the husband now that she's dead would have ridiculed her. It's a shame that marriage is now a "survive or die trying " situation

My dear it is better they laugh at you than they cry for you. Pastor or no pastor

Am just curious to known what the house maid and the pastor will now say.
If not for the pastor she would still be alive.
And if not for the house help coming back to say she was pregnant she would have still been a live.

May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Its like oil dey the heads of residents in ikorodu maybe it dey bring Dollars, Pounds and Euros compared to areas like Edo state where the heads of people there will bring cowries.
What's so special about ikorodu that all kidnappers and ritualists wants some one residing there or is it that ikorodu is the least secured environment in Lagos and Nigeria at large

Away or international matches if won attracts more points compared to local or home matches.
Home is Nair's while international I'd dollars or euro.
Hustle wisely please as smartness with out wisdom is still foolishness
