Abi ah just pity d masses

All these dishonourable members of NASS, members that lack the basic ideas to make laws to influence positive norms in the society. Perverts, wife beaters, paedophile, rapists, thugs, ritualists. The next revolution for change should be at the NASS. No to bogus allowance or salary, No to people with questionable characters. Then we have a good Nigeria.

I laugh. Divide your GDP by 170 million people.

yea I know what your getting at, but seriously we ain't still poor.
Misappropriation and mismanagement of funds have eaten deep into our systems like virus.

150 billion per year is not overblown for 469 people and that is what the deputy speaker can say?
This Lasun or Lafun whatever his name is must be removed.
These guys are hell bent on continuing the status quo ante of squandering the nations wealth.
How much is the budget of education and how many people and institutions share that?
How much is the budget for agriculture and how many people and institutions share that?


Nigerians need to match on NASS and make those lawmakers know it is no longer business as usual. Let them be placed on salaries and alowances like civil servants.
Nonsense....

I'm happy you got my point. Meanwhile check our GDP and HDI!

See how these thiefician defending the money they collects saying it is not enough. We must fight these

hmm...

May be it was an error.

Did PMB approve this rubbish?

Buhari is not the dictator and has to work with these laws.

We told you and you would not listen.

GEJ was the guy who wanted to review the constitution and you shot him down. Enjoy your master from West Germany...

Tazmode:
To call the President of Nigeria a dullard means you are an icon of sheer hatred and asininity

Plz just keep quiet

vimi:
Did PMB approve this rubbish?

Is a law that has been made and signed by previous legislators. PMB cannot do anything about it

All they know is just to shout "neh" and "yeh" and yet my village road will not be tiled. EFCC where are u?

You know that something is wrong with your country when 0.0000138% (469*5/170000000) of the population thinks that they are justified to consume 2.7% of the nation's budget.

God don dey catch them so tey they don dey expose themselves

****dancing***

Okey oorhh

Do u know what 2.67% of a whole country's budget is for only 469 Reps?

You guys have lost touch with reality.

You are the DULLARD. If GEJ was not changed this wouldn't have come to public knowledge and form part of the discussion above and below including you bitter dull and uninformed comment.
At least Nigerians are informed of the cost of the clothes members of NASS wear and there aides. We will assess their performance with a remainder of what they were paid. In the GEJ era we no go hear anything. We now hear and comment and will hld them accountable in three years time.

Our dear Mr. Deputy Speaker sir,

For this 150billion and 120 billion Naira spent, what do we ordinary citizens get out of 'our' National Assembly?

1. Truancy: Check the televised broadcast of NASS sittings. Two third of the seats are empty always.

2. Poor work output: The rate of bills passed especially when it concerns the public is embarrassingly low.

3. Alarming rate of corruption: Bribe for budget scandals. Bribe for Screening scandals. Bribe for Oversight functions. Bribe, bribe, bribe!

4. Scandals: Election rigging, political arm twisting, certificate forgeries, conversion of public property to their own properties at very ridiculous rates, etc.

Sir, is it not embarrassing that about 2500 people (including NASS staff etc) according to you Mr Speaker, share N120b/N150b in a country: where children learn under the trees,
people defecate in the open places in our 'cities' because there are no public toilets',
citizens die in their thousands of malaria, cholera, typhoid,polio and other easy to prevent diseases?

Sir, does it not worry you that:
Our women and children trek kilometers to fetch polluted water from stream and ponds for household use?
Our trees are gone because in 21st century we are still using firewood as source of energy?
Our 'graduates' cannot express themselves clearly?
Our youth are roaming the streets?

Sir, will it not be of greater good to use the 2.6% to train and empower our youth? Create more jobs? Support small and medium scale enterprises, provide alternative power supply, restore efficient mass transit, provide motorable roads, Support agriculture and food processing?

Sir, if Nigeria were to be your personal company, will you spend N120/N150b on NASS members? Just asking.

Our NASS needs to CHANGE.

God save Nigeria.

@benmurraybruce

Guys, relax. This is still GEJs budget. By next year, I expect the budget to be down to 100 billion then the year after that 50billion. The sad part is that these NASS members may still increase the budget when it comes to them for approval.

you should know better than I do, our GDP as of now is 522.64 billion US dollars and our Human development index has slightly improve, but I don't view this issues from that perspective though. A Nation that can cough out a whooping sum of 9 billion for Nass alone is Rich and mind you it din't start today they have been doing it.
One more thing we are blessed with natural resources, some are being explored some abandoned due to negligence and misappropriation.
If we make use of all the resources available to us am not sure you will go with those words " we are poor.

150billion reduced to 120bn as if that's not outrageous...what's the essence of budgeting such outrageous amount for just 469 members? I don't care if you have 10 aides or whatever you claim

So ordinary HR member too gets 5 aids. Was it not yesterday one HR member saying 15 aids are too much for the whole president.

Three is okay, cost of governance in Nigeria

Nice talking with you. I'm not oblivious to the role bad leadership and lack of visionary leaders have played to ensuring we remain poor. But there's no denying the fact our per capita income is way below world's average.

Politicians would bring this country crumbling to her knees..


5 Aids for what? Dem dey shit for Body ne?

Aid for what exactly?

Professors in university don't collect Allowance for Aids,

Doctors in the Hospital don't collect for Aids

Engineers don't collect

Farmers don't collect

Teachers don't collect


Why Politicians? Why?

Make all of us kuku delve into politics na..


Attractiveness of political office must be de-emphasised before this country can ever move forward.

litetias:


Google, my friend, is your friend!

google wey go give me like ten handle wey nine of dem na fake.

5 aides to do what?!!!!. What a waste in governance.

This country is a joke.

Waiting for Buhari to work on this. Otherwise he has come to run govt as usual.

I see no coherence between the topic and the body of the thread.
