you are living in another planet. Now, please read the
information below and tell me why Nigerians crying of hardship

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 work& 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 9times the salary
of US congressmen.
Please say NO to looting of Nigeria in the name of democracy by
sending this text to at least 5 others.
I think the country must have a referendum on salaries of
senators. This must happen very quickly.
If the government can't we the masses must do something. This
is too much now, haba...
