What a comment! SMH.
he maybe a direct or an indirect beneficiary of the largese. Anyway, that shouldn't in anyway distract us. Everybody cannot be in Abuja and Lagos at the same time. I think you guys in Rivers, those in Enugu, Kano, Kaduna and Oyo states should have no reason not to participate in this protest.

You are a jobless clown. Did the allowances issue start with Buharis government? Why didn't you lead a civil disobedience when your god GEJ was there? You want to cause problems for Buhari ba? No other government in Nigeria's history has ever destroyed the economy of Nigeria like GEJ but you didn't lead any civil disobedience all through its history. You are a paid PDP agent and any understanding Nigerian will do anything within his power to stay far away from you and your suggestions!
is this not part of the change? since GEJ regime is the worst govt Nigeria have ever have like you claimed,and you guys came with change and Nigerians Embraced the change.why are you trying to still behave like PDP government you guys claimed to be corrupt? we are heading to Aso rock to restore our change,and your empty ranting will not stop us.APC cannot promised us a change in government and still went back in the same way the previous govt follow. it will never happen

I'm with you!

Please what's their handle, high time my twitter account experienced resurrection.
Okay. Will you be coming to Alausa also?.

Mynd44:

You fail to see how deep this is.

Each senator makes 30million per month in allowances
And earn about 2.4 million basic pay

What they will offer is to cut their salary by 50% which means their basic will be 1.2 but leave the allowance of 30 million.

You think all these was not looked at when the choice of senate president was being looked at? Y'all chose something else and now we have to start fighting
Bro I understand you're saying but I believe we showing our displeasure isn't just about this allowance, but about the high handedness and massive over spending on the NASS members.
barcanista:
I propose 7am-9am on Saturday and remain there till they heed to our demand. We have to get ourselves coordinated and know who and who will be joining the protest. Like I said, this is a fight for young people.

Contributions will be appreciated
Why not make it 9am-12noon. 7am seem too early putting into consideration Lagos traffic on Friday night.

*sighs*
Y'all need to chill and get yourselves coordinated before you get yourselves arrested or shot at.

1. Wait for coordination before you go so you can go en mass. It has to be a joint movement across social media. There will be a protest at Unity Fountain, near Millennium Park in Abuja on Friday by 5pm to start plans.

2. The protest for Lagos has not been fixed yet so it will be soon I guess

3. The Lagos state house does not sit on weekends. You will just go there to loiter the place and make noise.

4. I heard one of Buhari's kid will be involved in Abuja at least. Not confirmed yet

5. Dino Melaye might show.

6. Calm yourselves down and get coordinated before you start jumping up and down.

7. I thought you people loved the idea of the Deputy speaker? Now that he has shown his colors you scream. Oh well, as usual we have to suffer the myopia of others. Nonsense.

In other words....hold on for further info and don't make plans alone

I agree we should get coordinated, Barrister Ubani was saying something similar on Radio this morning, we can't fight effectively at different fronts, WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER.

I dont think there is anything bad about it
Are you for real?

Have you thought of many who have not been paid a dime for the past eight months?

Have you thought of many wandering about without any hope of eating today?

Have you thought of many jobless graduates who are even more qualified than the thieves in the NASS, struggling to survive?

My brother, I suggested saturday because it is first and foremost a non working day for most of us, we can easily attract media attention since journalists are usually less busy on weekends and we won't just protest on that day and return hom. We will stay there to welcome legislators that will resume business on monday.

I suggest that we meet @Ojota by that 9am and March to Alausa in group.

Protests have its place here bro.

Occupying NASS is capable of making the assembly have a voluntary change of heart.

Your approach has never worked in Nigeria and may never work especially when you consider that such senseless money is what the thieves will later use to buy the electorates during election. Why not do anything and everything possible to make them stop collecting such money NOW that the deed is not done? Why wait till they might have taken and used the money to silence you further?

I know you don't like me (though I love you any day) but I can't help but to say "Kudos to you on this". I feel ashamed that all the politicians in the NASS are united in this (including my brother that was making noise on twitter before his inauguration).

Though tokaka raised a good question (what next after the demand has been met?). My proposal is that we nominate from among ourselves some people that will be tasked to probe into the earnings of Federal legislators, come up with a proposal for a REAL cut that is commensurate with their job (not just "salary cut"wink and as a group we send it to the NASS for adoption (of course they won't adopt it). We follow it up with a protest! Calling for their step-down or adoption of the proposal.

Okay. What's the distance from Ojota to Alausa? I will truly hate for us to disrupt traffic flow with our march as such a thing can attract police attention and they with their stupidity may come and disband us saying we didn't obtain 'police permit or report' or whatever its called for the march!.

I don't like you? You must be funny really to equate not liking some of your ways (inconsistencies, if you like) to not liking you.

To say that one is ashamed of Ben Murray Bruce is an understatement given what he promised before they were sworn in. His statements on this allowance thing are very disheartening and hope-killing. On the other hand (and surprisingly), Dino has remained consistent.

I have always said it that it is pure IDIOCY for anyone to blindly side with any politician IF he is not directly benefitting from his/her largesse. The only thing we stand to gain from the politicians as a people is through good governance they provide. Once they fail in that, we will be stuupid to support them.

Better still, can't we petition the body responsible for drafting NASS salary? I believe the legislators will say they are not the ones fixing their salary and renumerations...
