I still don't know what these lawmakers do aside feeding fat from our collective wealth

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF ROGUES(house of RAPE AND SIN-ACTORS )

Thisis2raw:
.

Meaning?

The Senate is not a lover of truth...

abc115:
“He has brought his useless activism to the chamber creating the impression that we are all thieves without telling Nigerians details of what the money is used for ,” one lawmaker said. “There are are always ways of dealing with characters like that. Just wait and see.”

Like you're not?

With one person receiving such an amount. How will the economy grow? Na wa for them o.

"he has brought his useless activism to the hallow Chamber"

Mek them no send Shekau after this guy mbok

N13.5m monthly?


That's nothing when compared with what Governors steal every month from their states.

iyketex007:
If those rogues of this animal kingdom thinks and knows there salaries and allowances are justified, then why the need for it to remain anonymous?

I only pity Mr shehu cos the witch-hunt for him has begun and his days are already numbered, and the worst off is that they Nigerians he's exposing the truth to has no use for it, cos in a saner clime a revelation of this sort is more than enough to trigger a mass revolution in this country.

Spot on.

The truth he revealed serves no use to the poverty-battered citizenry. Those ones will suffer till eternity

Saniwill said another one too

Fake news

Once your hear "the source does not want to b mentioned"


And it's not a news because we even thought senators earn 30million per month

As for me, that amount is not big for senators but they can reduce the no from 109senators to 37.

Then house of rep from over 350 to 73.

That's the best way for me.

MONITZ:
These senators are just thieves.what do they do with this humongous amount that comes to around 170 million Naira every year inclusive of their consolidated salary?Na wa for these idiots that won't make laws to benefit the common man,obviously they re legislating to line their pockets while millions of Nigerians wallow in poverty,it is even more sickening when other miscellaneous amount re taken into account.

I now understand y they ve always resisted any move to look into the books of the National Assembly viz a viz the amount each of them earns.. This democracy isn't just working and yet very very expensive..Who will save this country from these unpatriotic and perfidious idiots before they rape her to death..

In all honesty the national assembly is the biggest threat to our Democracy- that is if we have one.

The nation of Senegal noticed that it's legislature was sapping it of huge resources and becoming a financial burden ; decided to scrap it . Today the country is better managed

Nigeria legislature is just another avenue for job creation and "political settlement"

We call them "law makers" but ... seriously how does a Senator(like T.A Orji or Kashamu ) who have never been to the Law school , make law for professional lawyers in the Nigerian judiciary to interpret

Let's scrap this scam called Legislature!

Thieves in poWer



Check my Siggy to Bring in your goods from china and the usa

We know before nah... Wetin we masses wan do now? NOTHING as usual.

They know we are so docile, and they will be laughing at us as they discuss the matter.

Useless country, useless leaders and docile masses.

what an irony, senators in developed countries do not receive the amount of money these shiit hole senators receive. God save us from these criminals in power.

BASTARDS.

Nigeria as a State lack sense of humanity and sincerity

N13.5M Monthly Illegal Allowance: Lawmakers angry, plot against Whistle-blower Shehu Sani

The Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has angered a number of his colleagues for lifting the veil on the N13.5million illegal allowances members of the upper legislative chambers receive each month in addition to their legitimate salaries and allowances.

Some lawmakers who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES but asked not to be named said the revelation by Mr. Sani has damaged the reputation of the federal legislature while possibly pitting constituents against their representatives.

The aggrieved senators and members of the House of Representatives said some of their colleagues were already discreetly working out modalities to deal with the Kaduna lawmaker.

Mr. Sani had in an interview with TheNews revealed that he and his colleagues receive N13.5 million monthly as “running cost”, aside a N700,000monthly consolidated salary and allowances which they also receive.

Mr. Sani’s revelation is the first by a lawmaker from the Senate since the clamour by Nigerians for a full disclosure of lawmakers’ earnings.

The revelation has sparked widespread anger among Nigerians who had always criticised the lawmakers for arbitrarily allocating jumbo pay to themselves at a time the country remained in dire need of funds for developmental projects.

Ironically, Mr. Sani’s colleagues are criticising him for coming clean on the secret allowances lawmakers receive while majority of Nigerians wallow in poverty and disease.

Some of the lawmakers who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES said the revelation has the tendency of turning their constituents against them.

They said the revelation might instigate their constituents to make more financial demands from them

The lawmakers vowed to take necessary steps to make the next one year difficult for the Kaduna senator.

“He has brought his useless activism to the chamber creating the impression that we are all thieves without telling Nigerians details of what the money is used for ,” one lawmaker said. “There are are always ways of dealing with characters like that. Just wait and see.”

Part of the punishment the angry lawmakers are considering is to pressure the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to exclude Mr. Sani from subsequent ‘secret meetings’ of the senate, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.

They plan to prevail on Mr. Saraki to stop inviting him for such meetings, especially those where finances might be discussed.

The lawmakers are also weighing the option of recommending a probe of the whistle-blower to Mr. Saraki.

For them, Mr. Sani would have to explain why he turned himself to the senate spokesperson, speaking on behalf of others
Shehu Sani

If adopted, Mr. Sani would be investigated by the senate’s ethics committee which shall recommend a punishment.

But some lawmakers are cautioning against any open rebuke of the senator, saying that might generate even more public anger against the Senate and its members.

Many Nigerians, including civil society organisations have commended Mr. Sani’s action.
However, if eventually probed and found guilty by the ethics committee, Mr. Sani faces up to six to 12 months suspension.

In March 2017, when the former Senate Leader, Ali Ndume asked for investigation of allegations of importing a bullet proof range rover with fake documents involving Senate President Bukola Saraki and that of perjury involving Dino Melaye, the committee recommended 12 months suspension.

The suspension was later reduced to six months by the lawmakers.

Similarly, in the House of Representatives, a lawmaker from Kano, Abdulmumin Jibrin, was suspended for 180 days for revealing what is today known as budget padding.

His suspension was recommended by the House Ethics Committee which also prescribed that Mr. Jibrin will also not be able to hold any position of responsibility for the span of the current National Assembly.

Contacted on Saturday, Mr. Sani said he preferred not to comment on his colleagues’ moves. He promised to make comments if the need arises in future.

So the sanctimonious common-sense senator has been collecting this kind of scandalous amount of money in emoluments even during recession when salaries of civil servants could not be paid. It took a 'less holy' senator to reveal this. What a shameless hypocrite.

influenz:
I was fortunate to be in a meeting with Jimi Agbaje yesterday. This the course of the discourse, he made us realize that people join politics for two reasons. It is either for SELF or SERVICE.

Without meaning to be unfair to anyone, we all know that most of our current politicians are there for SELF.

Be it known now to you that they dont care how you fare.

The major problem of Nigerian politics is settling power of money. These crops of people will amass such wealth and during elections settle those they can settle and reclaim their "SEAT" while nothing changes in the lives of the electorates.

I want to provoke our thoughts with this questions?

1. How much do you pay monthly to fuel your generators?
2. What quality of education do our Children receive in Nigerian schools (both public and private)?
3. The top end schools, how many of us can afford it?
4. If you have a bike crash now, do you think you can survive it like Yusuf Buhari did?
5. An Hausa senator exposed the way monies are shared in the upper chamber, I believe those opposing him exposition could be from either your tribe or mine. But when elections come they turn us against each other to fight.

From the fore going, it is time the NIGERIA YOUTH takes his destiny in his hands.

The first step is to obtain your PVC.

Remember, Nigeria is ours to Plough and not plunder.

We can no longer seat and watch these crop of people plunder our common wealth. It doesnt matter if it is oil money, cocoa money, Coal money, or otherwise.

Let us rise and demand for accountability.

#notononsense

Most of your assertions are valid but I completely disagree with you and some commenters on other forums who actually believe that having and using their PVC's is the only way out because those with this same PVC's actually voted in these bunch of criminals so what has changed?

Secondly, if 10 year old kids in the west, south and east don't have PVC's like the northern kid's then the PVC's of those in the west, south and east remains as worthless as a tissue paper because they have already lost the election especially at the presidential level even before conducting the presidential election.

If Nigerians are willing to sell their PVC's to criminals called politicians on election day for as low as a bottle of gulder, #500, 10 cups of rice, T.shirts, faze caps then of what use is the PVC then?

If I have my way


I'd send all ds idiots packing next year



Buh gullible people are too many in this nation




Dey kip voting this shams



Let's remove too much money from politics first


Ds thn z jus hurting...

I understand your opinion. Politics is a game of numbers.

Let us view it this way, it is the number of "good" vs "evil".

While it is true that a lot of atrocities are committed by those with the PVC, a greater number do not have. If those that currently do not have PVC obtains their and join the current number of "good" voters then "evil" will be conquered.

They should list out the name of the ANGRY REPS and send it to their constituency so as to take note and vote them out coming elections

So this is the truth the common sense senator couldn't reveal. E go kom twitter kom dey rant.

Ok, all u armchair activists this is the time. A champion , a hero has emerged. It is time to back him and protect him against the thieves.

Allah ya isa

seriously speaking, does this not call for a mass revolution n protest across all the constituencies?

how can they be recieving this much and yet NASU salaries cannot be paid up to date.. how can they be receiving this much and the country is still a pit. its so terrible...this is the time that the civil society needs to come out and force this people to step down. they are totally worthless and useless!!

nairavsdollars:
I dont know who is worse between Dino Melaye and that loquacious Shehu

What made them to be worse, is it because they were saying the truth while millions of Nigerians are dying in poverty and the so called senators' are spending lavishly without considering the masses and unpaid workers. You are bird of the same feather. Am sorry for you because you're even worst than the senators that are deceiving us.

Really sad. Saying the truth now by Sani will lead him to his suspension . We need special prayer for God to terminate some people in Nigeria for the masses to enjoy the wealth of this nation.
