John Ameh, Abuja

Legislative aides to Senators and of the House of Representatives are protesting non-payment of salaries and allowances at the National Assembly.

The over 3,000 aides allege that they are owed several months of entitlements, making it difficult for them to feed, pay rent and settle other pressing bills.

The guy below me is a complete MUMU


How the hell did he know they were told to do so

Big fat lie. They were told to do so by the lawmakers to make Nigerians believe they are feeling the pangs of recession too. I guess that Saraki's aide with head like frying pan using convoy is also among the protesters.

Whaaaatt??

How many legislators do we have that 3000 aides are needed?

Politics has finished our dear nation. It must be made far less attractive by all means necessary.

What are they aiding sef?

To hell with them

3,000 aides? Seriously, I was hoping things will get better in this nation.....


I was listening to "which way Nigeria" by Sunny Okosun this morning and i felt so so sad & helpless. What kind of leaders are these?

Everything about the Nigerian legislature is just wasteful, 3,000 aides to 469 legislooters; 6 aides:1 SINator/DisHonourable, on top wetin? I am sure the commonsense Twitter Senator isn't left out either.

The fight against corruption and waste must not be concentrated on the executives alone but also on the other arms of government, unfortunately, by the time it starts, we same Nigerians (particularly the youths whose future are being mortgaged on daily bases) because of ethnic and religious affiliations would start chanting inane rhetoric like "Buhari is a dictator", "abuse of the rule of law".

If a politician/public servant could not think of the rule of law while wasting our collective wealth on his personal greed, why should s/he be protected by that same rule of law he earlier disregarded?

You will be amazed how mean these guys are.....I during the last istration they came (not this set) to Brekete family for help

will the protest yield result??

Personal aides protesting to who?
NASS on their distraction game
APC was/is a joke

Apshit

Legislative aide post has been hijacked by former legislators, and family and friends of serving legislators, so LET THEM ALL GO AND DIE

Who cares

They collect their salary steady and their staff stay hungry. A typical Nigeria legislator behaviour. Iam not surprised.

freya8:
will the protest yield result??

So what alternative do you propose?

And where are the protesters?

Nobody forced them to be legislative aides.

They should go back to their villages and farm.

Which kain countri be dis na?

Hahaha

This is where our bloated senate budget is going

3000 aides or 3000 relatives
