Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Headlines

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , has said it is wrong for Nigerians to perceive the National Assembly as being “highly overpaid” for doing little.

He said the lack of trust in the lawmakers had made their critics not to see the enormous work they were doing for the country.

“But with a magazine that will be the authoritative source of anything that goes on in the House – motions being moved, bills being passed, national issues being discussed and constituency projects – the public will be better informed on the activities of the House, and this will in turn reflect in an improved public perception.

A former Director of Kenya’s Anti-Corruption Commission and Director of the Kenya School of Laws, Prof. Plo Lumumba, who was a keynote speaker at the event, asked if the lawmakers were following the footsteps of Nigeria’s founding fathers who, he said, had a clear vision for the country. “Now that you have been given the honour and privilege of serving Nigeria, now that Nigerians and Africans refer to you as honourable members, the question is: are you honourable members or horrible members? The question as to whether you are honourable members is determined by the service that you render to the people.”

Bubu you never cease to amaze me...

What makes it wrong, Mr. President sir?

I Just returned from a country in East Africa, Ashamed that i am from a country where buffoons recycled themselves into Power for over 50 Years and have no clue what governance is, arrogant power drunk old and shameless failure who deserves no respect

Nigeria President is becoming highly Corrupt and He is No Longer Fighting Corruption. ~Hon.Owen G.Akubo,DG PDP National Action Youths.

This man has smoke expired weed

To avoid impeachment and blockage of bills.

Buhari is a disaster. He is a criminal coated with a fake mr integrity to ride to power. He is supporting bokoharam. Killings are as a result of his leadership

I refuse to believe that president Buhari said that. If you know and see the truth and fail to hold on to it, it’s corruption ...

Stop giving us new from half dead people. Enlighten d public or more serious issues

God will punish all of you thieves both executives, legislatures and the judiciary

But why?

but it's right not to think they are working less and been pay more with side benefits that can feed An LGA.

I began to think again about the story of Jibrin from Sudan 🤔

Devil

Ooooh my God he was thesame president in 2015 that said the senate are over paid now reversed is the case . Only God will safe us.

At least try and read the full news. These media lines are misleading and irresponsible

Mr President you are on U-Turn again

to hide anything from a black man put it in a book...they will never read it

Coming from a man that is supposedly fighting corruption.

Please is this baba OK at all? I'm beginning to think all these talk of him being an impostor and that the real Bubu is dead may be true. The things he says these days is just...

daObi513 Lai Mohammed hates MBuhari. I've known this since 2015.

Most Nigerians are actually waking up to the Stark realization of who they actually voted for in 2015. The great Mr. Integrity who attacked Saraki’s senate for being wasteful and overpaid and now saying another thing.

What's ever right in your sight?

Another dumb statement, with the north having a great number of legislators that cannot speak good english, no knowledge of the constitution earning more than doctors and engineers, Nigeria needs a revolution.

Our messiah are yet to come. PDP or APC can not take Nigeria to the promise land. If you want to know how they spend Nigerian money follow me to Dino milayes compound. Very smart people you can't see their family in Nigeria.

Hmmmmm le nu e iwo baba yi !

Under the 8th Senate that was what your goons claimed

Are u for real🤤

Cos they are the ones aiding your looting

What's he talking about?

But real workers of this nation are overpaid by the minimum wage that is the reason for dragging it to now and even been doctored by u politicians. God the Almighty will surely judge between u politicians & workers. Nonsense lasan lasan!

Go read the full news. Don’t tweet just by reading d heading. Is just to grab d attention of d people

Animal talk

Mr. President, are you ok?

Old age is affecting this old man

Does speaking from both sides of the mouth define a man with Integrity? Oh! Nigeria has been scammed.

Exactly the kind of stuffs you hear from this excuse of a president

Someone that said he will cut their salaries hope you all can see who he is

Cow every where

Wonderful

Is this true ? Did mbuhari actually say this ?

One Chance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙆🏼🙆🏼🙆🏼

pat my back, then I pat ur's.

The must useless government

This man is in another Nigeria We're talking about insecurity he is talking bout NASS payment

You mean they are underpaid? I mean people who have questionable certificates are underpaid in millions while our graduates with authentic certificates earn minimum wage?

lol...this is Jubril!

I believe is a slip of the tongue, I'm not sure he said it, with all his corruption mantra. The old often suffers frm dementia.

What do you expect a fellow politician to say

Posterity will judge everyone.

we've sent Robot to do a humans Job! are we cursed?

How can this man successfully hide his true color for all these years.

And when u hear things like these,u can't afford not to deeply consider this Jubrin of Sudan angle.This' definitely not Buhari. Where is Buhari's modesty? Where's that aura of sincerity around Buhari? How could this kind of fraud get to us undetected.

Our PMB surprises me every day...anyway time will heal all these drama someday

If you say that which means you are also a crimenal like them and you come out to tell us you are fighting corruption, please stop all the propaganda Mr integrity

Was this his position when Saraki was Senate Pres? Kai,this man never had any integrity.But how did this man successfully hid his deceitfulness of not having integrity to make us(not only Nigerians)but d whole world,including US,UK,Obama etc,to fall 4 this level of deception

Especially when compared with regular civil servants. Nigeria we hail thee!

Lesson: don't brag, overzealous and criticise harshly those in power untill u find urself there , we are highly disappointed by u jagoran talakawa

What else does anyone expect from someone that is called wasteful machine. He has to live up to his name and act accordingly

Could Buhari have actuality said these, if true he must be prevailed on to stop further insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians.

Boda Lai ati oga e ti wa yaa werey finally... What beats my imagination is how Nigerians stand by and watch these criminals get away with their crimes. Evil thrive in this country because good people do nothing to stop it. RevolutionNow

The NASS wants to launder its image, so they create the instrument for that

Hmmm... Mr. I don't know what you people are talking about... Just stay on your clueless lane sir...

Baba go slow...

God forbid bad thing.

I pray never to get to that point in my life where I begin to justify the same things I condemned without cogent fundamental changes.

Wait are you sure this is Buhari🤣🤣🤣

I have read the story and still can't see how Baba justified their jumbo pay. Baba you are wrong, they are overpaid!

The man is not in tune with reality of what Is happing in the country. This is so shameful

How did we get here?

Well, it's wrong to think Buhari is fighting corruption or anything like it.

You can even add more to them.

Please lets start a new year cos 2020 is full of shit

But a big disgrace for 30% of budget to be shared by the political office holders

He thinks it's wrong, since he now have his stooges in NA

For everytime this Baba opens his mouth to talk, What comes out is unbelievable. Nigeria National Assembly members are one of the highest paid if not the highest paid in the whole wide world. This our Baba must be from Neptune. The farest planet to earth.

What kind man is this?😩😨😨😨

This is not Buhari biko.

It's wrong to believe in you gmb

What about Senators Mr. President?

They’re overpaid even you self

Baba you are wrong on this one

This govt it all about compensation and man know man then business empire, that is why he refuse to sack service chiefs and stop the cabal thing

We don’t think we know they are over paid and they are the highest paid in the world

Baba is not aware as usual🤣

At this level, I can agree it's not Bubu that is dishing all this.

Just because saraki is no longer a problem and the current assembly is a rubber stamp. Indeed GMB is a scam to the gullible. Wasted support.

Even compared with other countries? This is too bad indeed.

Nonsense.

I'm really sorry bt is this jubril gist not true, I nvr at any point rated buhari bt

...but what is RIGHT in Nigeria?

But it's super OK if same people that put 'em there wakes up every morning with no idea where the days food would come from? Nigeria is irredeemable💯

What a country. I shake my head in shame.

Padi padi government. If you know, you definitely know.

This man no sabi wetin im dey talk jaree

This is the beginning of the next level you have been waiting for.

Buhari is loosing it on this, how can he defend national assembly lawmakers who are very overpaid for most them who virturly do nothing for 4 years in the chamber, US president earns $400k per annum, a Nigeria senator earns 36 million per month.

No no don't you said that either

Na waaaoooh!

They are over paid Mr. President

Something is amiss

I don't believe that is our president that say this😭😭😭

Is it wrong to also think that they are not doing their jobs

dio1vanni come and see your man o

And it is right to think that Nigerians have made a wrong decision with you

Says a President that spends so much on Lunch while the Army barely have portable water to drink to fight insurgency? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Really?

Hmmm

Dear God, hear talk from this clone🤦🏽‍♂️

Yes Cause we also wanna be there ☺️😋

I totally disagree with you sir... But I'm happy about the rhetorical question from the former Director of Kenya’s Anti-Corruption Commission and Director of the Kenya School of Laws, Prof. Plo Lumumba. Everything about leadership/democracy in Nigeria is horrible not honourable.

Very wrong while the country people are dying of hunger and poverty

Bubu, you be mumu?

Mbuhari pls justify ur statement. How dare u promised to reduced their salaries when u were campaigning?

Really ? Thank you Sir

It's also wrong for Mr President to say or pretend not to av known that.

I blame those that voted for you

It was only too much when your boys were not leading the Senate. Nonsense people

, will you please respect the intelligent ones among your readers and desist from useless and inciting caption like this? What are you saying about 500m Wike indirectly paid Mary Odili for a job well done? Or is that not public fund? Your hate is taking you down!

As a matter of fact, we don’t compensate our lawmakers enough for their tired-less effort at enacting enabling laws, overseeing the executive arm and representing us well in Abuja. they were only overpaid when it was bukolasaraki ‘s assembly.

Please message me , I promise to attend to you immediately

Confused government

They enrich themselves by misappropriating allocations meant for constituency projects, what is 'Hardship Allowances' for Goodness sake? Citizens suffer the Hardship, nassnigeria members receive the Allowances

You should have facts before speaking as a leader

Who is buhari and JubrilElSudani? Nigeria has no president, Nigeria is run by Fulani Sunni Muslim Cabal, while Jubril is their as buhari for cover up.

Are there no good and reasonably matured news from president Buhari? Lets still see the good ones na. Haba!!!

Hmmmm Format

Some people allows old age weakness , They aint got the capacity to handle

Its Lai to Nigerians from Buhari

If truly he actually said this, he's the most unfortunate thing that happened to this country.

Baba ti fagboyo

I don't really understand this President from how he sees this .

Lmaoooo. Fela say crase jam crase

Mudai yan kallo ne👀

Erroneous!

Kakaaklol Nigeria enter one chance.

How did we as a nation get into this mess? NAFDAC DG says we manufacture only pure water 💦 yet our law makers are one of the most highly paid. Is there no consideration for the vanquished? The masses have been improvised yet Mr. President does not think 🤔 so.

Someone seem to seek cover o

One Nigeria has expired.

Anti corruption crusader indeed

Nobody needs your help Oga. God is sufficient for all.

You are right baba cuz glaringly we can see that they are underpaid

This guy MBuhari should be quarantined. His cluelessness and illiteracy is not healthy for anyone. He should be locked away from humanity.

It all means they are underpaid, and the are aiming at collecting another whopping $31.200dollors to buy cars while the citizenry eat locally produced rice and ride on Innoson cars which the the useless senators reject and the campaign we use made In Nigeria goods. Judgement awts

So they are not overpaid?, I see

Baba ooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How much are they being paid in aggregate?

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Did folks actually opened the link and read the content?

Na dz man dey talk like this?

Is Buhari really a Nigerian?

G. I. Joe. If you know, you know.

More synovial fluid to your elbow sir

Nigeria main problem is in the national assembly

Human being are so dynamic in nature, I don’t believe this man can change, this man that said before he was elected that fuel subsidy was a scam and we have been buying fuel now since he was elected at d rate of 145, coming here again to support d national assemble

Hello Lazy youths! Stop being lazy and read beyond the headlines.

Hope it's not a criminal offence to think that they are overpaid.

Can anything good come out of buharig? Las Las

serleim

Haaaaa bubu what has changed? Was he not the one that complained about their payment during the last Senate? Now becos they are rubber stamp nothing is wrong The lord will judge all of you

Always trending for the wrong reasons...

Corrupt depending the corrupt! Shame!!!

This is official approval of what is obviously wrong. This government is the worst thing that ever happened to this country.

You mean nobody could open the Link and read the exact WORDS, rather than commenting on headlines? WOW! EDUCATION gone astray... 🤣😅🤣😅😂🤦🤦🤦🤦😅🤣😅😂😅👎👎👎

President muhammadu bihari

Read before you comment:

GeneralGeela cbngov_akin1 DOlusegun jeffphilips1 SusanHenshaw50 CovenantBuhari Nigeria's in auto pilot mode.

The Total population of Nigeria is close to 200Million and the Total Number of National Assembly Members is not up to 1000; but 25% of the Nation’s annual budget goes to the National Assembly, it’s too early to be angry with Mr President, Old age has set in for him.

Confusion all around this old man. That's Mr integrity, Mr corruption fighter, Mr conservative life and all that lies they sold to the country in 2015.

Buhari , the shame of Nigeria. The people that voted for Buhari must receive 12 lashes of koboko and they shall render public apology to Nigerians for their stupid mistake.

With arm robbers salary?

I'm beginning to doubt if the person in Aso Rock, saying all these is Buhari!

The illness don hold am again

This caption of punch the toilet paper can only deceive the confused computers not human being like me.

Another bamboozle HEADLINE from the stable of tussle paper

President Buhari of Nigeria is the grand master of CORRUPTION. A very wicked man!

Punch again...

Mr man what track are you hiding ?

bolakale63 olabayor

Which of the 'Buhari' made this statement🤔?

Baba enjoying his retirement

🥱

Bubu is confused

The future of this country lies on the youths, but the yours are locked up in the prison of their strong affiliation to APC and PDP. Nigeria has reached the breaking limit, but we the youths aren't just serious. Politicians are just taking us for a ride.

It's wrong not to pay NYSC their Arreas allawee 🤔🤔

Oga President, with due respect, they are please for doing absolutely nothing!

Because bukolasaraki has gone. His boys are now there and the paid is no longer big. Cover your friend when they are corrupt and fight your enemy that are rich without source

Are the earning more than their counterpart in other countries if the answer is yes then what are you saying ? We all know it’s yes

This man knows our people are clowns. He knows they've simply laugh over his stupidity than actually do something about it.

The most useless and worthless youths in the whole wide world is Nigeria youths. For there mind them go school but nothing if not how on earth would a sane person vote this casala as a presido

This is the same man that was always accusing National Assembly when bukolasaraki was the Senate President hypocrite.

What! Nigeria is truly in wrong hands. I am fed up with this country. Nothing surprises me anymore.

When was this remark made? At what occasion? I wanna know please.

Can someone tell me what those guys do that justifies their pay.

If saraki or anyone else that is not his choice happens to be the Senate president now will he say this?

Wow

Disheartening!!!

Sure not the President speaking, reasons why you prefer rubble stamp NASS

Now i come to accept the fact that power really spoil

If u read only the headline and not the real story b4 commenting, sorry the joke is on u.

It is well with Nigeria.

Ooin

A man of double jeopardy NGRPresident ...intellectually docile president

Wonderful

i finally agree that Buhari is Corrupt.

Mazzaje147 this ur uncle is high with 7up

Like seriously😂

I failed understand this....

Mr President, are you sure you are OK? Hope you seen a clip of the Norwegian parliament?

Okay let’s know what they’re paid so we’ll stop the unnecessary noise

Painful part is APC bots will still support him

For those that are too lazy to open the news or too lazy to read .

Punch should punch this man

Lai Mohammed was representing PMB. It will be okay to open the link before concluding.

As usual,massive joke on BMC crew.

The truth is Buhari is now a politician and you know how that works, he's chopped dodo, so he can never talk ododo. Big fraud.

This is ill to the masses but why do we have problem with increasing minimum wage while members of the national assembly earn millions. Whereas, they contribute less to the country's revenue

Oh not again.

😂

Abuja is confused 😋

Says the rubber stamp president to rubber stamp assembly members

But you said so during Saraki's time.

Me too😂

When Saraki was in power Prof. Sagay along with other APC members were constantly bashing NASS with unguarded statements about Corruption. It is all praise now. I believe Nigerians now know that this Government has never been against corruption but their own selfish interest.

Another dark humour from under the rock

You have really spoken the mind of common Nigerians.

Buhari is sick in the brain🤮🤮🤮

Leadership is a selfless service performed by the elite.

So glad you not gonna be there for long, cause some times when you talk I feel like slapping my phone or television depending on the device I'm listening with. The day for your handover cannot come any sooner.

President Buhari didn’t say this!

Kai we don suffer

When the minimum wage is 18k national assembly members are paid in millions couples with many luxury packages. Heaven will judge you all

Nigeria currently is so sick from the head.

Those in favour say aye!

Where is this man from? Which kin wahala be dis?

Ok. let say they are over remunerated while civil servant are over paid.

Alibaba and his team of sophisticated fools

Buhari talking tru two sides, during Saraki and Dogara, he was kicking against their pay but with his stooges in the assemblies he's praising them. Hypocrite Buhari

Political statement if really said by daddy,he refused to sack the service chiefs as suggested by the so called Honourables,won't they plan against him,if he doesn't compensate them with this comment? GREED WILL NEVER ALLOW THIS COUNTRY GROW.

What's changed after seraki left.

Let us ask him ao much they re being paid. I want to check something.

So ppl stl think d executive wl side wt d masses on this matter,when d executive too pay themselves jumbo salaries and bogus privileges? Joke of the decade! The best way i think this could be effectively addressed, is to make both arms of govt agree to a salary/privileges cut.

Even the blind can see it now,,,, nothing good will ever come out from this man, pocketed judiciary, rubber stamped national assembly..... unabated corruption, massive insecurities, decayed infrastructure, crippling poverty.

Because u want second tym

Omo see this old man oo. Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest paid lawmakers in world and these lawmakers you're talking about are not there for the masses interest, they're just there for their self interest. And you're here blabbing nonsense.🤦‍♂️

No wonder. It’s scratch my back I scratch your back these guys are doing. 🙆‍♂️

Might suit him better if he just keeps quiet!!!!

Wonders shall never end in the country!

Oh dear! We're lost.

This is worst we have seen in Nigeria history. History will Never forget this man

Clown 🤡... but teachers are well paid

And you guys paid Military and paramilitary 2000 and called it Salary adjustment☺☺.. God should wipe out Nigeria

He never thought of it this way when Saraki refused to be his rubber stamp. Big this in Big places

Please, do you people understand this president? Is he for the masses or for THEM THEM?

Lmao

This Confuse Old Man again!!!

This man is losing weight, he needs to pay attention to his health.

Reluctant to believe he actually said this (not that I trust him much - but for his purported anti-corruption stance). So I read the article. Lo and behold, the remarks were actually made by usual suspect Lai Mohammed (supposedly representing Buhari).

So what should we be thinking? Maybe the Presidency is overpaid

Kokosgreat

MBuhari this Ur hypocrisy is not helping this country. When bukolasaraki was the SP you told us that the nassnigeria was a waste of resources which made ShehuSani to disclose how much they earn, but now you are telling us that the NASS is not over-paid. We are wiser than you

Those that voted for him are the once hard hit by his next level😂😂😂😂😂

Same MBuhari

Abeg wat have they done since the last 5years...Just mention one thing Baba Werey

We have a very very long walk to freedom.

That's true

Says a LONDON BASED PRESIDENT...

That’s how you pay for their loyalty, don’t worry, your boys are with you and the people know their enemies

Your father

This is the same stupid tyrant talking about splashing the senator's and Reps in 2014, how sure this Mr Integrity is not embezzling our money. Buhari is a big mistake

See ur quarruption fighting messiah 😜🤣 All na padi padi government. I weep for this country, make una continue to endure

Fool

Who will ever believe this statement was made by BUHARI.. continue impasionating him, we all know he is not even fit to speak for himself again....

Where are Crazy BMC zombies, Buharideens, arewa twitter warriors? Their calmness is Suspicious. Come and hear your god oo

This man has caused enough havoc to us that we should kick him out. Long over due. The blunders he committed are enough. Always talking like a stranger which he is. He has no conscience, heartless & mean. Ppls lives doesn't matter to him.

This has been the notion from the 8th assembly, why is he now defending the senate. So you can see mediocrity and legislative paddy from the so called saint president.

Then let nassnigeria and the mobilisation commission tell Nigerians what is right. When has double MBuhari begin to defend NASS? Why didn't Mbuhari defend NASS, when bukolasaraki was holding sway? MBuhari defended Boko Haram terrorists, now he is defending politicians.

WETIN BUHARI DEY TALK AGAINE😀

Oga just stop talking na let adesina do all the nonsense talk for you

Analog minded president trying to rule digital world 😏😏😏

This man needs his usual UK recharge asap. He’s beginning to begin to....... 🎤 🎶 🎵

Same man who said bfore entering office that nass is been over paid that he will reduce govment expeses ..look at what he is saying 😂😂😂

It's no surprise this sort of assertion is coming from a Major-General President with an ODIOUS, AUDIO INTEGRITY. It only portrays what is factually at play between Aso villa & the NationalAssembl; Scratch my back & I scratch your own, WE ARE BOTH PARTNERS IN CRIME!😑😑

QuotedReplies

Let him read that in Sweden parliament members barely get paid

The President is beginning to show his true picture, God help him

Is this man thinking at all?

I no tell you before say this man na yahoo yahoo clown. Now over to those Buharideens who cursed out the 8th Senate for same reason Buhari is praising.

Lmaoo 😂 😂

Confuse mind...

This man heart also corrupt

So , what is right to think of. Incompetent president.

Its wrongest to have a Muppet like you as my president too.

Lol

This is the height of the ineptitude

I don't expect anything else from what he says he was put in that position by this people he can't say anything thing against them

Have we as a nation ever learnt lessons from past mistakes or experience? I doubt if we ever did. These bitches keep manipulating us year in year out. 2023 is almost here, we will still vote in another 🤡

😁😁😁😁

We won't blame you because you have a rubber stamp national assembly speaker and Senate president that says any loan request from you is good for Nigerians. Awon olee

To even talk about it is a sin on its own 🙄🙄🙄. Shebi we're all not ok in 9ja

Can this be real news. I hope did not misquote this man.

What a joke 🤦🏾‍♂️

Is this really surprising to hear from a man who at various times said Abacha didn't steal & he wasn't corrupt? This wuru-wuru dictator & his mago-mago wife/family are a curse on Nigeria. Everything is negative about MBuhari. Religious bigotry,tribalism,nepotism,incompetence,etc

Am still hoping for a president that will fuse with the people more

If that is the case, can the National Assembly members be on the same scale with civil servants? A National Assembly member makes more money within 4years from diversion of public funds and allocations than 35 years spent by hard working civil servants.

It was all about bukolasaraki all along. Only fools believe this man

They earn more than their Europeans counterparts.

What did we do to deserve this man? Kai! It keeps getting worse by the day... Mtcheeeew

Did you read the contents b4 commenting. It was Lai Muhammed that made that speach.

It is not wrong sir. They are 100% overpaid MBuhari

Toh Akwai Allah dai! Buhari Joker

Nonsense! After blackmailing and demonizing the National Assembly because of Dr. Saraki, these bloody hypocrites now want to launder the battered image because they have their ass-lickers at the helms of the legislature.

I wanna be president mugu

Chai!!!!

MBuhari has joined the wagon.

Is it because they've got your back sir?. Just asking because sir in it real sense they are overly pampered in the expense of of the general public they represent.

Lobatan Mr president

Most Nigeria politicians have 2 plans in mind,to enrich themselves and impoverish d masses,what else do u expect from someone who saw no evil in abacha and gandollar scandalous acts. PRESIDEBT Buhari MBuhari

The president has recanted all his words as far as I can remember but God bless Nigeria.

Are you a serious person

Pay senate, make them live large, ostentatiously flamboyantly, while closing your eyes to unemployment, poverty, & the resultant insecurities that will one day consume all of us.

Spokesman for NASS, alias Mr Fake M. Intergrity. Shameless.

Grandpa wey mumu

I think he doesn't really mean what he saying. He is just making jest of us the citizens.

Yet we still have those that support him. Aren't those pple public servant. How many servants earn more than their master.

Public offers will snuff life out of this misbegotten contraption of a country . We are taxed to sustain and massage their expensive life styles, lifestyle they could not have contemplated as private individuals

This brain dead President again ! N12M/Month, N144M/Yr is not too much in a poor nation like Nigeria ? When UK Prime Minister earns £142,000(N71M)/Yr

Is this our president? .. How did we get here OurMumuNevaDo 200MillionMumu

U r really sick.

Den don reset am? U want d third term ba? MBuhari

All these controversial statements credited to the President makes one uneasy. Most of them are not read from speeches, but said by officials representing the President. Most of them uttered during banters with others. No disclaimers mean acceptance. Was thinking it's another way

Buhari and Corruption are best friends

Baba we no dey argue with una but you remain the biggest scam Nigeria ever experienced

I think I know this man, he does not have sense.

Thought this man(buhari) had a good plan for Nigerians wen the national assembly were complaining of him paying dem little for Xmas and New year's bonus, alaye wat went wrong?

Leeward_IK Bastard 🙄

Are they not your rubber stamp. So what else will you say GMB?

Mr integrity, Nigeria is doomed

Goodluck told us that he was not perfect but that Buhari is a wrong choice for Nigeria we thought it was falacy.

This is the same man after been elected to office in 2015. Whom said that senator allowance are too big and must be reduced. Now that your party is dominanting the that House you have suddenly change your statement. I wonder the kind of ruler you are sir

Las Las, this man na scam.

They expect us to believe this crap Oh please 🚮

If e no good for your head, quit!!!!!!

OK now

Ogun kill you MBuhari

sai baba!

It is well

Animal farm

President Anna Kyari through his spokesman General Buhari just did that, 'it's wrong to think National Assembly members are overpaid.. ' What a country!?

now the malady has eaten deep into MBuhari none of his supporter will find his proclamation funny what is the duty of the member from the lower n upper chamber in that chamber that would warrant they earn such stupendously? go check their constituency n see the dilapidated state

We are in A Big MESS. That's why they rig, kidnap, and kill just to get there. No wonder they keep approving your 'BORROWING MENTALITY'. Rubbing one another's back.

See muntula that's talking

Buhari! The rubber in the rubberstamp.

Ok

TexTheLaw see something oooooo. It is like Baba wants Rubberstampia assembly to approve something for him fast fast. 🤗🤗

Mr Buhari again

Sudanese imposter wey Mumu

Look at this mallam.... just look at 🤦🏼‍♂️

This old man is a disaster

The Nigerian army has killed Shekau 3 different times,but somebody who looks like him still heads the boko haram terrorist group and he’s called Shekau too... what makes you think Jibrin can’t become Buhari .....

Lols

Please someone post that Swedish lawmakers video

Man is a joker 😂

To your tents O Israel...

Commander in Chief of Rubberstamp Forces in National Assembly.

Do you agree.? Me, I said nothing wrong to say that.

Are you normal laidis? 😒 😒 😒

Until voters start going to the homes of their elected constituency representatives who fail to serve without being corrupt... the Nigerian youth kept quiet for too long.... they’re all thieves

In fact they are actually being cheated by the masses. Massive underpayment 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And it took them how many months to agree on 30k minimum wage? Error in the HOUSE!

Thinking over whether buhari said this & if really true, then so many issues comes to mind

MBuhari you’re talking like politician now. We voted for you General, to assist in cleaning up our politicians but it seem you’re in cahoot with them now.

Thought they were overpaid during Saraki!🤣😂🤦‍♀️

Once again d politics of no good intent ad d suppose hypocrisy put into this shows Mr integrity is nt only ready to wreak d system bt force jombo pay down our throat Or is baba afraid of impeachment,someone should tell him dt this particular parliament doesn't hv d will to do it

🙄

Since after independence this is the first time Nigerians will be scammed and duped.

You can relocate to CANADA with a low IELTS score as a caregiver. Contact Segun Adegoke on 08052467442 for details

They are over paid. It is as simple as it is.

Please just let this man to shut up. Did he even know that Nigerian legislators are the highest paid legislators in the world? To me if things wants to be right they should be paid the same salaries that the civil servant earn without those stupid largesse

I thought Buhari said during Saraki's era that the legislators were overpaid. is this dementia or what?

Sam loco 😂' ' comedian '

I am done complaining about this country... It's better we are watching each other oo

I'm not surprised because you promise to surprise us

LOL 😂

Something is fundamentally wrong in Abuja

Their salaries should be reduced and added to the salaries of our soldiers

The useless National Assembly is in the pocket of TyrantBuhari ------ Nigerian Lawmakers are among the most highly paid in the world, more paid than the Lawmakers of developed countries despite the fact that Nigeria is the extreme poverty capital of the world. DrAhmadLawan

People earning almost 25% of the national budget. Highest paid in the world. Let's keep borrowing from people that earn less. Continue.

For God sake what is this?

What's this guy saying?😭

Buhari has failed in many fronts that we hitherto believe he has competence, chief of which is security, so if he chooses to add unbridled profligacy to them, it really won't make such a big difference.

Buhari had said worst things before but this one drills in big time. For me, It is really not about what was said but the place these statements are coming from. This is an evidence of total disconnection from reality. It is a shame.

Honestly, Buhari deserves no comment for this.

September 2010. Jumbo Pay: I'll Cut Down National Assembly Salaries - Buhari

This guy needs a soft ware upgrade.

I am still waiting for someone to say 'read the whole article to understand the context' Stupid people 🙄

Mr general MBuhari you are doing good ooin

MBuhari May God forgive your stupidity

Nigeria.. Jagajaga

Oga sir with due respect rethink, reshuffle, reorganised and lastly remodelled Nigerians are complaining and am very sure you're aware

Haa, Mr buhari.....

What was wrong during the,,8th assembly is now justified in the,9th assembly.

This guy has serious mental issues oh

They made their followers believe Saraki and his cohorts were impeding 'monumental progress'. Now they are out of their way who are they blaming? Clueless and lifeless government.

with well over 30mil a month i'm sure they not overpaid...i hope those that voted for NEXT LEVEL are getting their CHANGE in full😂

Why is it wrong Sir?

This presidential sickness has started again

Time to go see your doc old buddy.... 😕😕😕

Toks 2010 Acura TSX 100k miles. Asking 3.4M

Who did we offend in this country? It will take us 50 years to get things right with this type of statement from Mr president..... Le Nigeria est condamné sous Buhari

See who came to cut cost

Oh yes!!! They are overpaid . U guys cannot even pay 30, Naira minimum wage , to people that deserves it . Why do u guys love money so much ? What have u done for the country ? U guys don't need our permission . Go get the money , the same way you've been getting it Big yahoos.

We are our problem. Masses are divided along ethnic line + high level of illiteracy (60%). Most of us have already lost hope in Nigerian governance. Nobody from the senate is talking of electoral reform because it will prevent them from rigging themselves in.

Please don't spoil my day

Of course you'd think that. We're paying you to float around doing nothing so if the cap fits...

Two third of our Budget goes to the Legislators and Mr. President is saying, they're not over paid.

I honestly think a strange spirit might have possessed this man! He often sounds alienated & out of touch with reality or he might just be making jests of of Nigerians”..

I taught Buhari spoke against the salary of the NASS under Saraki, who is deceiving who?

Thunder are you busy

I doubt if he can say this

In 2015 PremiumTimesng Nigeria to cut senators, reps’ jumbo pay as Buhari fumes

Buhari 2015 ' i belong to everybody and i belong to nobody.' Baba now belongs to the National Assembly. Same Buhari is grooming made in Nigeria goods but National Assembly members don't want to purchase made in Nigeria cars.

They are now buddies. So not an unexpected statement from him.

Tissue paper

Thank God MBuhari enter also rock. The so called messiah.

This man is indeed living in the moon!

Nigeria is finished under this man.

Let them have minimum wage as well, and no allowances as well. I don’t want to hope for another military takeover because civilian governments are sounding ridiculous

Tseeeem

No! Mr. President MBuhari you're wrong, National Assembly members are not only overpaid but they are the major problem to our future growth and development It is disappointing that you hold this wild view but it is a confirmation that you aren't infallible You're wrong sir!.

Why don't you guys register as a political party so that you play the opposition role properly. This your cheap lies and blackmail won't sell

All ye zombies, the head of the zombie gang have just told you the truth about the kind of person he is.

How did we end up with this calamity?

Even with your puppy NASS, what have you still achieved? Abegi

What did you say? 🤷🤔

Incredible!!!😳 How can you claim this man has integrity? Two different view on same view by same Executive on different Legislative period. Double stand Rubber stamp legislative Masters of looting

8 wasteful years

It has come to d point wen FG will show wat to think

Now I’m becoming more convinced that this man isn’t Buhari..

Jubrin

Including you we are paying you for doing nothing

But this man kept painting the senate black when Saraki was senate President. Now that his puppet is there, the senate is suddenly his darlings and are saints over night. Double faced bigot.

And you find it difficult to implement 30k for civil servant

AlvanJenkins 😂🤣😂

I thought he wanted to slash their salaries including his? So called Mr. Incredible. They go home with Millions of Naira every single minute not to talk of their Allowances. Mr credible who claims to be poor now have so much love for money. Wanders indeed remains unending

Nigeria 🇳🇬 Leaders(Government) are the MASTERS while the Citizens are the SLAVES. Either you take it or you leave it!

Punch always saying bullshit ogun kill una & national assembly

And minimum wage is 30k

IT IS FINISHED

See wetin this man dey talk

Bubu...it's like there is something you want to collect from National Assembly that is very illegal.

Its either this young man has really been corrupted or its true Buhari is a crone

Finally, the executive and legislature have fighting to protect their pockets.

Baba yii ti ya werey ooooo!Imagine,Mr integrity has gone mad again!

Is this news?

Is also wrong if you think our president is okay psychologically.... he need rehab.

This man is a Canker worm.

I don't think Buhari can surprise me anymore... But some people actually voted for him. SMH

Just negodu.. Buhari as a president is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. I really have nothing to say to those of you that voted for him and still support him.

Foooool

I knew since this government took over the administration of Nigeria that the only thing we can expect is deteroriation in all aspects... For all those who voted for these people, hope u are pleased now..Tueh

After 6 years this guy dull Shaa

APC na scam cant wait till 2023.But before that time we must learn by force the hard way

Gatan talakawa Ja gayya ja zugaaaa.........

this dude just just stop talking abeg

You are a Total disaster to Nigeria MBuhari a president that has done nothing to better the lives of Nigerians!

They're not overpaid they're over budgeted

Una sure say no be Jibril al sudani be this so? 😏.. When buhari spoil like this? 😞

how is it wrong to think that way when they are one of the highest paid lawmakers in the world but the doomest in the world and we also have one of the worst economy in the world. This doesn't tally

Bullshit

It is also wrong to say 30000 minimum wages for civil servant is too much for government to pay

Can this statement be TRUE? and be said by the President who once promised to cut down on Cost of governance. 😊

🙆

Why would anybody even think they are overpaid hahaha. GMB Sir, let's double their pay and get two more SUVs for them. At least we don't have anything serious we want to use money for as a country for now, and if we do we'll borrow.

🤣🤣🤣😂😂 God will save us from these men

Buhari is only pleading for his own over pay! this is actually 'pro-corruption speech

National assembly spokesman

We don't think so. We KNOW so

This man unlocks new stages of madess each day

It’s over. Officially.

It is clear he is told what to say.

Leemao.

Now they’re friends 😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

The foolish voted him the first time, the stoopid voted for him again. Tufia🤮. They both never read any history books. Thus, they repeated the errors again and again.

Yepa moku mogbe modaran, now I believe it’s not Buhari in Aso Rock. Buhari that they claimed he said the pension they pay him as a former head of state is to much and that he refused to collect the money because it amounts to corruption. Now it’s now clear this is not Buhari

Lol

Now I know that this is jubrin from Sudan.... Nigeria you must come out of this bondage oooooo 😯😯😯😯

🤦‍♂️

Bro. Buhari we refused to be deceived, they are seriously overpaid

They are overpaid and some lack the competence of having good debates on issues that affect the masses. Some are only there for the pay!

This old man doesn't know what he doing again... useless people's

You say?

smile_fineface People don’t think so they know so oga

That is ur perception Mr president.

This one is just a confused president

He didn't say this when Saraki and Dogara were there.

Lool. Yes baba. Block foreign rice, Buy foreign cars. We move.

Baba will never stop to amaze me... Really?

Nobody can say this under Buhari when he was alive . He will sack that looter .

Kai!! We don enter one chance ohh!

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is our President!.....

An addendum: democracy has failed Nigerians, military rule has failed Nigerians though the latter was somehow better in terms of security of lives and properties, prompt payment of salaries and provision of social amenities. Nigeria needs a unicameral legislature to save cost.🤔

Compare their salaries with d rest in d world

Lol I guess he is coming back to that national assembly immediately he finish with his tenure. Laugh

Walahi we got wrong by voting this man

Why must we the populace still live in the vicious cycle of poverty.. the average man find it hard and the poor ones always have little or none, our leaders must have a good change of heart if they want progress and stop looting n diversification of funds

LiveWithInYourMeans

Those who knows and voted for this President knows He can NEVER say this. Am not going to believe the 'toilet paper' over what the president alleged to have said. It's my opinion and am not a wheelbarrow, you are entitled to yours ......no name calling, BASTARDS

Buhari is a failed man and failed this country woefully

Did Buhari came to consolidate status quo or he came to fix all the societal ills in Nigeria? For a man who wanted to be the President of Nigeria since 2000, he contested 5 times and won once, one would have thought that he had martial and revolutionary plans for Nigeria. 🤔

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Every week we get to hear something we've not heard before.... I wish Thrump was our......

Because Bukola Saraki is no more there abi? You better go and see your doctor in UK before is too late

Kwaayet dere. 🤫🤫🖐

Not baba Is talking is corruption talking

Bubu needs to catch some sleep. His level of incoherence is deepening, his aides no better.

What is wrong wit u naaaaaa😒 So we no fit get opinion again?

What do you know?

Not surprise of the statement of a corrupt, inept, clueless failure .

Since bukolasaraki is no longer d Senate President.

😂😂😂😂😂 what figure of speech is it? wereyni

Another animal sense.

Another bold faced attempt to mock us and insult our collective intelligence. With a fraction of the GDP of stronger economies, a set of people who add nothing to the kitty, generate no incomes feed fattest off the people and bros lie tells us not to think of them as overpaid!

Oga o this govt sha

Old age disturbing baba buhari

When they have an understanding, they scratch each other's back. Instead of we the citizens to unite against these bad leaders, we're busy stabbing each other in the back. We go hear em ta ta ta ta ta!

I don't think this man reason before speaking. How did we end up with this man?

Of course? We don’t expect anything less from you.

Buhari is mad

It's wrong to think what you said is right

Am really tired of this country called NIGERIA

A fly will definitely support someone with an open wound. Heartless, greedy fools all over. What sort of law are they making that qualified them to the kind of lavish lifestyle they are are not satisfied with?

Werey

Jesus christ... Am speechless

Dumboo

😳😳 are you kidding me 😤😤

Buhari Don change mouth 😂

Very True Sir...it is very Wrong to still be thinking now Everyone KNOWS it.

Coz the minimum wage rises to 200 ,000 monthly right.

Gap toothed fraud.

As expected. No clue of what is going on ard him or even his country

🙄🙄🙄

Chai hear talk, Nigeria no go ever better

Anybody that voted for this man, if you did, avoid me, if you ask me for help I will ignore you, if you voted for him and lied to me and I help you, the Oracle from my village will hunt you down. Be warned! 🤨

Ewo!!!

Hmmm is ok

Of course they are been overpaid mr.president

Ok
