Would you have agreed to take half salary as CBN governor?

We're talking herdsmen, you're talking nonsense

Very intelligent comment.God bless you.

How is a mere wish by someone who has done nothing to correct the ills that he speaks about equal to good news
Are we so shallow with low aspirations for ourselves and low expectations of our public servants?
Ayam not understanding.
Can you please explain.
Thanks

There's really a lot for me to explain but I'll task your empathy hormones a bit.

What do you want me to enlighten you on that you don't already know? But here's what I do know; Sanusi may not be the best example of a public servant who has contributed substantially to boost the welfare of the average Nigerian, but he has always provided ideas that can help, if they are implemented.

A Nigerian lawmaker who sees this will not let such a bill, or law, become constitutional. Not just him [or her] but all other people who benefit from his position - family members, contractors, employees, friends [girlfriends, baby-mamas and oh-low-shows]. This may just be the reason why Sanusi's idea may not be passed into law. A typical lawmaker represents his constitution on paper, but represents himself [or herself] in his mind. That's the fundamental root of corruption.

If slashing a senator's salary will guarantee the current rate of employment is halved and sustained at that half figure, I'm in support of it. Not just for the now, but for the future.

We may all have different views on his idea but come to think of it - I ask you, if tomorrow your son or daughter would become gainfully employed through this proposed legislation, that simply advocates distribution of wealth evenly, pragmatically and to where it is effective for economic viability and social welfare, would you not support it now?

Cut legislators’, ministers’ salary by half, Sanusi tells Buhari

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to review the salaries of members of the National Assembly and ministers, with a view to creating more jobs for Nigerian unemployed youths.

According to Guardian, he said this yesterday while urging political office holders to make sacrifices and salvage the country from its current economic downturn.

He argued that if the salary of each member of the National Assembly was divided into two, it would go a long way to provide more jobs for 70,400 jobless Nigerians at between N90, 000 and N92, 500 monthly salary.

Sanusi gave the charge through a statement addressed to President Buhari, while also lamenting that the salary of military personnel, who are defending the country was only N49, 000 with some of them lacking accommodation.

He said: “Where is the change? Change should start with the National Assembly. A senator receives N36million monthly. If this is divided into two, it comes to N18 million.

The second half of N18 million can be used to create jobs for 200 Nigerians, each earning N90, 000 monthly, When you multiply 200 people by 109 senators, this will give 21,800 Nigerians gainful employment.

In short, 200 Nigerians will be able to live a comfortable life on half a senator’s monthly salary.”

Further highlighting the disparity in the standard of living of public office holders, particularly the legislators, Sanusi argued that a member of the House of Representatives receives N25million monthly.

“Half of that amount is N12.5million, which is enough to employ 135 Nigerians with a monthly salary of N92, 500 each.

Sanusi,
You are intelligent by half here.

Buhari has no power to fix legislator's pay, unless you want to ask him to become an absolute dictator.


What Nigeria needs to survive is restructuring the country's 36 state and Abuja political structure created by Arewa soldiers.

Another is letting Diaspora Nigerians vote in Nigeria's presidential election.

dunkem21:

Best question ever.
Sanusi is a loquacious hypocrite like most of our elites whom we allow to rule ruin us.

What of the 'Emirate Allowances'?

What's the economic value of our flamboyant traditional rulers.

All their allowances should be reviewed alongside Senators & Ministers, not forgetting that the VP & President are currently on half salary.

seguno2:


Is it the cabal that we will be voting for in 2019
Are you saying that Buhari is a weakly ineffective stooge?
That would be a terrible thing if true.

correct you are Sir at the bolded. and i hpoe nigerians don't make the same mistake twice. My only greatest fear is that next year's elections might be heavily rigged.

brainpower:
Cutting their salaries won't make them employ people. Why didn't you add the salaries of CBN governors?
People keep complaining about the salaries of legislators as if that's the problem we have in this country.

Generally, public office should be made less lucrative in Nigeria. Do this and see if people will still be running into politics.

How

It can only be rigged if we, the people, decide to abandon our civic responsibility in the political and electoral process.
So it is up to us.

Will the agree?

Sanusi is a typical Fulani - he ignores the substance and chases shadows, in the bid to confuse those chasing after him.

Yes, legislators are on unusual fat salary, but that is not the issue that has crippled Nigeria. Nigeria's problems are caused by the "food is ready" political process that favours only politicians of Sanusi's Arewa

We need to get our PVCs and ensure that others in our entourage get theirs too.

It is obvious the man Buhari has failed to bring any form of the change he promised. We had thought change like the one the emir just spoke about was going to happen. And we were wrong!

Yet, I am likely going to vote Buhari in 2019. I am yet to see a better candidate proposing to contest the 2019 Presidential Elections.

Anyone angry about the likelihood of me voting Buhari should kiss his a***s

psucc:
That the will be the last straw that will break the camel's back! I don't support that move as it will worsen the stealing trait of Buhari's Ministers.

Even if u give them all the money inside Central Bank. The Idiots will still find anoda means to steal

The question is, will the dullard harken to the voice of reasoning?

Nothing can redeem buhari again.....he must be voted out

transformed:
How

By thesame suggestion but this time it won't be for just the law makers and the ministers alone. The police orderlies should reduce, their influence should reduce. The Attorney General shouldn't be appointed by the president including INEC, IG etc

I am pretty sure this is reetarded fake news.

And all the black baboons who are products of a failed education believed it.

The suggestion is reetarded with complete nonsense data and I would doubt such would come from an immensely intelligent man like Sanusi.

The problem with Nigeria is not just poor leadership, it is also the fucktardism of followership.

Emir of Kano! Very outspoken ,like him or hate him,he would speak his mind .

Sanusi pretending to be a good person here, why didn't he tell us how much uneducated Buhari is receiving monthly for pushing Nigeria backwards?

wrong, buharia should allow all those looted billions that were recovered to go into circulation, he should use that bar n create jobs and buffer the hardship, nd secondly he should take the Catholic bishops advice.

So far fetched, govt spends 750000 on one corper according to them....and 14000 daily on one prisoner....according to minister of interior..... Ohhhh wat a country...

Felixv:
It’s just that the body responsible for setting their salaries and allowances is terribly inept

But at least sanusi has spoken and don’t forget he said their same thing years ago then he was invited to the National Assembly to defend his statement

We all should protest this anomaly - our bishops should have taken this up also but they kept quiet

Imagine a Nigerian senator earning more than the US president.

Is it not the same irresponsibly retarded youths you're compassionately campaigning for who are here busy defending the senators, railing against Sanusi and denying the obvious benefits of the creation of tens of thousands more jobs in good faith?

These mofos were born to suffer. Like a wise man observed, "it's only in Nigeria a politician robs the people blind, prostitutes their daughter and still gets to be the adopted father of their beggared sons!

..sensible words,
But CAN HE?

He may not because the PDP powered the legislatures to much that the executive may not able to rectify lucidly ™

D fool dsnt knw a ministers salary is not more than 800k, wat do u want to cut or reduce from? Its nt even enough, even a director in cbn earna above that or equivalent

If a senator earns N36m monthly in Nigeria, then Nigerian leaders are cursed.

This is the major problem with the country. The leaders have no empathy for the masses.

I am shocked at the comments I am reading.

I was expecting to see an outcry on the thread. Alas, at least 80% of the youths concerned have never seen N3m in bulk but one senator takes home N36m every month..

You cant force people to have sense nah.
