The amount of money these elected officials earn is more than the state revenue receipts. Country of doom for the few. As one comment says here, " this country is a joke". It urgently needs a RESET.
thatsleepboy1: The most painful part of the whole thing is that the money borrowed will be given to their northern brothers and the rest will be looted and the rest of the country will pay for it. OH God of mercy kindly save us someday.
"...and the rest of the country will pay for it." Emmh! Not the rest of the country but rather a small part of the country will pay for the whole country.
It should be a public hearing and televised so that Lagosians, Nigerians and the world can see. Without this is not going to be transferred and fair to justice.
ExAngel007: As chaos reigns in Lagos state after unarmed End SARS protesters were shot at by alleged security operatives at the Lekki toll gate, President Buhari's PA shared a photo of him receiving the Emir of Kano.
Buhari Sallau, the Personal Assistant to Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, shared multiple posts showing Buhari in good spirits as he received the Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.
The post came while Nigerians were mourning those killed and trying to get help for the injured following what has now been tagged the Lekki toll gate massacre.
Buhari Sallau's post, coming in the middle of this grief, angered Nigerians and they called him out for it. He was accused of being insensitive for positing such at a time when innocent Nigerians were getting killed.
We never have a government to begin with...is a pity in a country like Nigeria with much to offer.
Never again shall will have such a person as president or hold any leadership positions. We are all wiser now. We have to drive this Nigeria to the place she ought to be.
One thing is for SURE after these... Nigeria will NEVER be the same. A WISER NIGERIANS has emerged from this. Kudos to all the heros out there doing all they can to keep this fight and struggle going. Together we march and together we stand.
This is one of the many reasons, why Nigeria project is WRONG. If, Nigeria project is RIGHT no one has claim to the right of place he/she wants to call home.
DebbieBianca: A policeman was ordered out of a man's truck by a group of Nigerians for allegedly trying to extort the driver amid the on-going protests against police brutality, extortion, and many other unlawful crimes.
This happened today, October 15, at Ikeja Under Bridge.
Recall that the Senate had subject to request from the President in consultation with the Council of State, confirmed in 2016 & 2018 Federal Commissioners for the NPC for five and twenty-three States respectively.
Count down has started for the 2023. Good luck to Nigerians. Well Nigerians, you have 855 days to define the country you want for yourselves. Use it wisely.
CountryTireMan: Zulum toldthe IG to send them to Borno to fight Boko Haram, the IG should have done that, make we see their nonsense brutality agains Boko Haram.
The corruption that has eaten deep in them won't change a thing. Instead they will just turn to boko haram themselves and start causing havoc.
I thought the important thing here is that you get paid. In an insane country like Nigeria is the opposite. Employer should detects the means of payment to his/her employees.
Monjerk: NASS get N128b while Basic Health Care for Nigerians get N35b.
I greet the people that prepare the budget with two hands and my head bowing down.
So the NASS members are now more than Nigerians. After they would say it is for constituency projects.
Constituency projects my foot.
That's the whole of Nigeria get 35b with over 200+ millions people while less than 1k gets 128b. This is not fair at all. We are running a fraudulent system of government. This system doesn't have growth and development in it.
It is good to know you have CONFIDENCE but Nigeria politics is for the old voted in by the youth. You have to be over 60years plus to be considered. Unfortunately Nigerians are not ready for fresh minds. You have to be old and rotten before being considered but we are finished in this country OH, sha :/!
The amount is outrageous 10billion as against 300+ millions Nigerians assuming we are up to that figure. The amount will make sense, if we build on it and do the rightful thing by putting in place system that WILL make it mandatory for any new born, migrates/emigrates, returnees are instantly registered to the data (-/+). In addition to instantly give a national ID to all registered and counted Nigerians. And make the ID as a former identification to all Nigerians for any official dealings in the country.
We can afford to be spending that outrageous sum any other census. We should know our numbers at any give time with a good system in place. OTHERWISE THEY SHOULD JUST SHARE THE MONEY TO THE ESTIMATED NUMBER THEY KEEP TELLING US NIGERIANS THAT WE WERE.
Don't ever think you can win a lady's heart by giving her money, or buying her gifts or taking her on expensive trips cos a woman's heart is very intrinsic and she can give it to any man she desires even if she does not get a dime from the man and trust me on this, if a lady truly wants you, she will need no monetary influence to be with you.
Men must also understand that except there is an established relationship between them and a lady or an agreement with a lady before they spend on her, she is not obliged to give anything in return regardless of how big you spend on her.... You made that choice.
So what is the point?
if you must give a lady money, please don't try to impress but give her only what you can afford and not the type of money that will drive you crazy if you get nothing back in return because ''MOST'' ladies are naturally wired to appreciate a monetary gift from a man not according to what a man can afford or the level of the sacrifice he makes but rather they compare what you give them with what another man can give or worse still what their friends get from their men.
Simply put... MOST ladies will see a gift of 75k from a guy who has only 150k in savings as nothing when they get 1M from a billionaire not minding the fact that the former sacrificed 50% of his life savings whilst the latter probably gave 0.00001% of his monetary worth.
This is why during a heated argument when a man tries to remind a lady of the financial sacrifices he made for her, she usually responds by saying "what have you done that another man can't do" or worse still "how much did you give me compared to what men are giving their women out there"
So guys please, no go dey do pass yourself..
Well this true in most cases on Nigerian women. It is the opposite from here I live now. Women don't care about your money except your trust and love. Being in relationship here is about commitment not obligation or ATM cash machine.
Nothing good or positive comes from the Nigeria Police, is all bad...we need action not words. Find the bad eggs among you guys and punish them. Maybe then we can start believing just a lil.
Hypocrisy, I would say...You know this and you're still in the same government that exercises and executed all these things you pointed out here. Action would have spoken Lauder than words. Well, what do I know... pastor VP
