The military dictatorship in Niger must be delusional.

Once removed, them must all be prosecuted for treason.

KEVIND:
All in a bid to frantically give a genuine meaning to support the mass burial of Lekki toll gate mas.sacre.

I knew a stupid comment would not be far fetched on this topic.

ufotunang:
..the senators just resume duty on June 2023 and going to vacation on August 2023...just 2 months of duty.....so just after 2 months of duty so they must go on vacation...is that right...can't they work up to 6 months before going on vacation

You are very right, but it seems their calendar has been set long before this current class.

Also, it would seem that it is not a Nigerian only phenomenon.

The US Congress of both Senate and House of Reps that we have copied in Nigeria, also go on recess quite frequently.

In fact, it would seem that an August Recess is an international standard amongst many other recesses in the year.

According to them, it is not only for enjoyment but to reach out to their constituents back home and also to work offline on their planned bills to be initiated.

The joke is on you
You think you are fooling people, you're fooling yourself. 29mil per annum my foot.
Which multinational will give you holiday just after two months of work with holiday allowance? Not to talk of economic situation like this.
You're obviously one of those benefiting from this evil government.

Weirdly enough, I have nothing to gain except for Nigeria to work.

However, I strongly believe that our news media prefer sensationalism over factual information. As such, a lot of people have become so anti-government that they are willing to believe the worst and behave like a mob, rather than be better educated with the facts.

As for the justification for their recess, just as Nigerian workers in both public and private establishments are still going for their statutory vacations and enjoying their vacation allowances, so are these public officers allowed to do so as already laid down in their annual legislative schedule.

Or did the many opposition Senators complain that a crime has been perpetrated with the funds they received, or that the Senate led by APC was wrong to proceed for a recesses that was already delayed to screen Ministers whose nominations came in late?

Ignorance is the reason why many claim a serious Government should do so so within so so time, or stop so so practice, only to get there and see that the previous assertions made are not practical.

I am not a member of the ignorant mob.

You may disagree with my submission, but it has been proven right by the many critics who later found themselves in power and became lame.

obyno82:
Please shut up.

You're Igbo.

I do not expect you to reason rationally.

Well since taking hostage, General Tiani fearing a military intervention to release him has broken all the link fighting terrorism and demobilised all the units he brought to Niamey for his own protection as he also sent forty (40) vehicles of the special forces to keep his parents in his native village in Toukounous.

Not surprised at all.

The wicked are always afraid of their own shadow.

When you commit treason against the constitution and country, the fear of death is always palpable.

The military junta will only destroy that country.

ambale:
With the present situation of our country, should they be relaxing??

Dont always try to defend nonsense

What is their use that they are taking a long break?

Nonsense is when every other employer and employee go on vacation, but somehow expect the legislators not to go for theirs.

Isn't that selfish?

Didn't they show patriotism and good work ethic by delaying the recess to accommodate the late nomination of Ministers by the Tinubu Presidency?

As you are not a Robot, so are they not a Robot.

Or due to the "situation" in the country, you want them to pass a labour law that all employees must continue working without vacation and all employers must stop paying vacation allowance?

Let stop reasoning like a mob.

Let them continue only on very strong and actionable intelligence.

Do not bomb civilians and law abiding citizens by mistake.

comrChris:
It's people like you that make me hate coming to this forum.

I have never seen a country where the oppressed praise their oppressors.
Maybe one of your family members is a senator or somehow benefiting from this corrupt government.

So it's right at a time like this when the masses are encouraged to bear because of the policies by the government for the senators to be allocating such money for a holiday? They have just spent two months in office oo.

What has oppressed and oppressor got to do with the Senate going on recess and getting their N2m recess allowance as confirmed by many sources including Senators who shared the alert screenshot?

Must we lament aimlessly?

People like me work and get paid. I go on vacation and get paid.

N2m recess allowance for Senators whose direct salary is about N29m per annum, is certainly not outrageous.

Many Nigerians working for top multinationals earn more than N20m per annum. Some even at entry level roles. So why would I be vexed that Senators earn N29m per annum or earn N2m for their recess?

So maybe that is why I do not reason like a part of the ignorant mob.

ambale:
I wonder the company that gives almost two months leave to all workers simultaneously

These guys are plain evil

What exactly are they doing that warrants going on leave?

Nothing unusual.

Solsix:
Your point??

My point is that I answered your question with a global perspective/reference.

Except you were just lamenting aimlessly and preferred to remain ignorant?

Then I'm sorry for the enlightenment.

Solsix:
This guy is funny, they are going on leave, how many months have they worked??

Frequent recess by the legislature is a global standard.

For your education, see below.

GO0DHardDick:
Always saying rubbish just to defend stupidity.

Which stupid plan purpose dey tell you say dey wan use 70b do? You really believe it's for furniture? I hope you believe too I am Elon musk.

Dude, they'll share 70b among themselves while you the common Nigerian is suffering. Get sense Oga!

I am not saying they will not share N70b among themselves. Yes they will share it as budgeted, but it is not for vacation or recess enjoyment that the N2m is for.

Even if Nigerians are suffering, that will not stop every organ of government from budgeting funds for their operations.

BoldBrainz:
Basic salary component for Senators of the Nigerian parliament is under 3million naira annually?

You must think nairaland is occupied by your blind and ignorant congregation of beings.

You must have believed all the anarchy you have been reading online.

Even the truth has become unattractive to you.

Google it an set yourself free from suppositions and embrace facts.

Morbeta11:
They can repost 2mil alert to deceive you and I.

So what was posted to convince you that the money is markedly bigger than N2m?

GO0DHardDick:
The 70billions they proposed to share in NA amongst themselves there is what?

I don't know what is wrong with you Nigerians.

Like they're rooting your treasure and public funds embezzlement before your very eyes and you see nothing wrong with that.

Nigeria still has a long way to go! If only Nigeria can adopt the Chinese method of executing public corrupt politicians on national TV, Nigeria would have been attaining sanity by now

Dude calm down.

The N70b will be shared to the new Senators as per its purpose in the budget. It is more of a starter allowance to help them settle their official needs for their 4yr term.

What they have received that was loquaciously disclosed by Akpabio is N2m vacation / recess allowance. This fee would always be paid for every vacation or recess that they are entitled to.

The N70b will be shared later for the planned purpose and not for vacation enjoyment.

And when the N70b is indeed shared, will it still amount to billions for each of the over 100 Senators as you scandalously asserted before?

We should all take responsibility for our claims and stop being scandalous and ignorant.

Morbeta11:
So you believe its 2mil they received, come let me tell you how they played us again......immediately Akpabio fuckup, they sent the Labour party female Senate to give out a fake figur(Ofcourse they are one happy family called Elites) ......so she did and majority bought the figure.....now Ndume is here to seal it with " We will move against him" so we will all be happy that Akpabio is in soup. All not planned drama. The figure is more than 2mil hook line and sinker.

You will always chose to believe anything negative.

Even the bank alert that was posted online by a source showed it was N2m.

slowice:
What is the monthly renumeration of a Senator? Research and inform me Pls.

Google it yourself.

The answers you seek are online.

Then you can chose to believe or not believe.

Even their Basic Salary component is under N3m annually.

opamoses1:
I still don't know this former president's offence. Coup plotters always table some dodgy reasons to justify why they carry out a coup.

Last we heard, they said Nigeria would have been affected if they had not acted, but they still fail to give the exact reason (s) on why they acted.

It is typical for every military coup to come up with reasons why the coup was needed.

That itself is to show that they know they have committed treason against the constitution of the country.

Like Idi-Amin of Uganda, they come in with celebrations by the ignorant citizens who soon become the victims of dictatorship, by the time the citizens realise and try to run out of the country, it is always already too late.

In this current case of Niger, it is the coupist that will attempt to run out of Niger, which is already too late.

The President would resume his tenure in the next few weeks, and the coupists would all be prosecuted for treason.

An illegitimate and treasonous military junta want to prosecute the legitimate and constitutional leader of the country for high treason?

This military fools think we are still in the 1980s?

Which court will the illegitimate regime that has committed treason against the constitution of the country approach to charge the President with treason?

Desammyst:
Everyone is just lambasting Akpabio, without looking at the fact that that money spent, is illegal.

There is NO PROVISION for it, as designed by the statutory body in charge of public and civil servants salary.

Senators say it is their statutory vacation allowance, you say it is illegal?

Are you a fellow Senator?

slowice:
The problem with you urchiins is that you don't hate corruption, you just hate the person that expose your corruption.

You are not worried that senators who earn over 25million monthly still get 2million extra for holidays even though they will still be paid their monthly salaries during the holiday.... Your anger is that akpabio is making a corrupt government look corrupt.

As if Nigerians don't know who and what they are.

29million annual compensation not monthly.

GO0DHardDick:
Even though we know that the money is billions not any 2m naira, but Dude are you normal? Which one is the Senators should move on?

In a sane country like China, those senators including akpabio would have been executed on national TV by firing squad for massive corruptions and public funds embezzlement.

U wey dey work for 30 days how much u dey receive? Let alone holiday allowance

Billions because na you share am?

You see what Akpabio has caused in the minds of anarchists like yourself?

Billions from which National Assembly budget?

The opposition Senators, including NNPP and Labour Party Senators never rejected nor condemned the funds received.

If it is their statutory vacation allowance, then Akpabio need to watch how not to talk carelessly.

Hahahahaha!

You mean olodo that did not have an opinion for 3weeks and was waiting to learn what was going on?

Depriest2020:
By March next year Soludo will celebrate 2yrs as governor with nothing to show for it so far, and in the his 3rd year he will start preparing to contest for 2nd term.

Ngige only did 2yrs+ and his works speak for him.

Imagine that Ngige ruled for 8yrs instead of having his tenure cut short by the visionless and wicked Peter Obi?

Sermwell:
Every rational voter who's not a zombie knows that Obi won!! How can Tinubu loose "his own' Lagos, his home town of Osun, the seat of power (FCT) and win in other places where he doesn't hold sway? Una no smart for this country ohh!! The election was clearly rigged in his favor.

You who is smart, you should tell us how Obi defeated Tinubu in Borno, or Jigawa, or Kwara, or Niger, or Ogun, or Ondo, or had better votes than Tinubu in Sokoto or Kano or Kebbi that tinubu finished strong 2nd?

You think elections is based on your delusions?

Tinubu won the NorthWest, NorthCentral, and SouthWest?

Which other candidate won the highest votes in any 3 regions of Nigeria besides Tinubu?

Ignoramus!

Anaconda rising.

Nvestor02:
The funniest part is that i still don't see reason why peoole see tjis man as Messiah. Same man that doctor strike for 13 months under him.

Longest strike in the world.

It is called the Igbo agenda.

The lesson for Atiku and Obi and Kwankwaso is that one should not labour aimlessly due to the individual greed and ego that could have combined to forge a common pursuit.

3 losers all from one same party, PDP, as at April 2022.

Obi even went all the way and bought PDP forms and got screened for the primary, only to abandon ship less than 1 week to the primary and took up Labour Party ticket when it was too late to be a legitimate candidate of a party he did not belong to.

All eyes on the Judiciary to ratify the victory of Tinubu and zero the 6m votes scored by Obi for being an illegitimate candidate of the Labour Party.

The lesson to be learnt is that there shall be no reward without labour, even if you hunt for ticket and get it in Labour Party.

The reward is only for those who truly put in the effort over time and nurtured their ambition by growing their party and laboured for the success of others.

He didn't say Igbos, he said Labour Party.

But his projections failed woefully.
