Senator Bruce should donate his March and April salaries to his real constituency.
Let's wait for him to come up on twitter to mock or blame Buhari for this again.

What will wailers say now? I'm sure they have a justifiable reasons for this..... Hypocrites! Not to even think how much bayelsa gets as allocation
To think that Bayelsa State is not as big or populated as Osun state with the huge allocation they get, they should be rated as one of the richest state in the federation.

Vote for change, Bayelsans refused. We do not know whether if we change, things will get better but to know, we have to Change.
I won't blame the Bayelsans refusal of APC for their predicament. Rather, the fact is, oil prices have dropped ,meaning that states no longer have the fat allowances from Abuja....so many states are broke now.

I guess that many states never did get creative with funding at all. And let's be frank...state civil services are bloated with a lot of unnecessary staff.

For Bayelsa to survive....high taxes, harshness on corruption and sacking excess civil servants might be the way forward.

Bayelsa became heavily indebted under Alams
Now that oil prices have collapsed and with it revenues, the state is cash strapped! Sacking workers is the only option

That cartoon senator that prowls twitter day and night looking for what to taunt Buhari with will never notice what's happening right under that pointed appendage on his face he calls a nose.

He's busy laughing over a random tweet while his people perish under grinding poverty. He would neither tweet about it not do anything about it lest his hypocrisy be laid bare for the world to see.

I keep saying this, Osun is always in the news for matters of salaries because the media made it so. Even the blabbermouth called Fayose is owing three months salaries.

Makes things kinda awkward for them. Even though we all know that many states are finding it very hard to sustain the welfare of their civil service, the plan was to over-report some states and keep quiet about others. But politics aside, well meaning Nigeria should see how they can help the Bayelsan civil servants. Oga Murray Bruce should remember that charity begins at home. I will respect him more if he can donate some of his earnings to epp the people in their current suffering.

Only states like Lagos and Anambra who have solid IGR numbers can meet these obligations comfortably.

Damm you punch newspapers. Stop reporting what doesn't consign you. *Hiss*

Why are the wailers avoiding a thread like this, I am yet to see things like ' enjoy the change' or 'is this the change we voted for'

What I still don't understand is why those state that additionaly received 13% derivation owe workers salary and virtually put development of their state to the halt.
Whether economy downfall or not state like Bayelsa still collect an average of 4bn each month with less than 1m population.
I hope people should now understand base on development from Bayelsa, why aregbesola with 55m allocation and over 3m population unable to pay salary.

That fraudster belongs to twitter constituency.

He has nothing to offer.

Even his supporters knows that.


They just hail him because of the phrase, "My enemies' enemy is my friend"

Bayelsa and Rivers workers should enjoy the choice they made out of sentiment.

Rivers State is owing salaries too and i believe is because we have a clueless federal government, Zombies shld find out why they are owning bt they won't, and would rather prefer to think narrowly.
