What a drain

also do not forget the under the table sharing and ghana must go bags -

I have a friend who was a former assistant to a former senator who was to sent to collect an envelope containing $500,000 for sharing amongst about 5 to 6 senators i guess to favour a particular outcome.

Here are some of the miffing facts in their report. Four times this year, each of the 360 members of the House of Representatives will receive ₦35 million as \\\"constituency allowance.\\\" In conservative terms, that's $300,000 per member per quarter. At the end of the year, then, each member of the House would have collected a cool $1.2 million.

If this figure has made you dizzy - or put you in a tizzy - hold on a minute until you hear this one. Each of the 109 senators collects ₦48 million per quarter. At the end of the year, each senator's haul will be in the neighborhood of $1.7 million. That's not a bad sum for doing - little to nothing.

In case you're wondering, these legislators gobble enough cash to give pocket money to President Barack Obama. Obama's salary is $400,000 per annum. That's less than what each Nigerian senator \\\"eats\\\" each quarter.

Mind; this gargantuan \\\"constituency allowance\\\" comes on top of salaries and other sundry allowances by the Abuja \\\"lootocrats.\\\" As a former member of the National Assembly told me, there's no requirement that the legislators explain how they spend their so-called \\\"constituency\\\" funds.

\\\"Throughout the four years I spent in the House,\\\" said this former representative, who asked for anonymity, \\\"I don't know of one member who used the money to do anything serious in his or her constituency. The cash was pocketed.\\\"

Thieves

Devil will punish them and their generation to come......they deserve more than hell fire .Basically there is no reason for government in Nigeria .The government that was set up to protect and care for the well being of the people has turned up to be the principal obstruction and nuisance with which the people have to contend .The cheat and the bury you meet everywhere is the government .These is irony of faith.

If they earn N1 Billion naira per second for the whole 4 years ,there will not be any problem,But for them to earn this much + X and yet Choose to do nothing ,It is seriousl and grievious.

Hardship allowance !!!!!! to the tune of Million nairas !!!!!!!
Are they suppose to pay it to the people that are suffering in their constituency or What?.

Jeez!!! No wonder Nigeria is not moving forward.What a waste

This is the reason why the Operating System called "Nigeria" boots slowly and sometimes is not responding.
These people are occupying spaces in terrabytes and Gigabytes when the RAM is just barly enough.
Their Space need to be deleted if this System "Nigeria" Will not Crash.

This is outrageous!

This is why they consider it a business and not a Service.
Quite outrageous,I can't mention one significant progress or achievenent of the Senate Last year (2009).Can You

That's why they are called LegislaThieves assembly

Can this be true?.
