The N8.5 million monthly running cost that members of the House of Representatives receive is insufficient, a lawmaker has said.
In comparison, a civil servant on the N30,000 minimum wage will have to work for 24 years to earn what an House of Represenatatives member earns as running cost monthly. “Look at the tickets and see the flight costs even if I am flying economy class. So, how much is that?” The senator who represented Kaduna Central revealed that he and his colleagues receive N13.5 million monthly as “running cost.”In further justifying the running costs, Mr Oke alluded to the societal pressure on lawmakers.
“A situation where judges compromise is because of inequality, inequality is the mother of all forms of social vices in the country. University lecturers and professors don’t earn up to that so why should legislators earn this much and still complain that the runing cost is not enough?”
Animals everywhere nassnigeria all of them will come out in one voice for something unpatriotic as this, criminals known as legislators
ROTFL! These people are hopeless. Their brain is completely different from a normal healthy Nigerian. They are probably trying to tell us to give them more money or they will start collecting bribes freely.
What are u doing with that kind of huge money for the first place? .... Sleeping and arguing wt each other
What about ₦30000 minimum wage that government is unwilling to pay and you are keeping quiet?
Why pay them? They can do it for free. Any Patriots?
Thieves.
Same thing I said earlier on ogun state governor with such wealth yet can't change Nigeria. These are the people ruining Nigeria without shame.
These men and women dont love their country. Why is there no Nigerian version of Jerry Rawlings?.
Thunder fire you!!! But N30k minimum wage you people cannot pay. Fire your gene join!

Youarelawbrakers Compared to the number of your concubines you really need more.
Just watch, complain and do nothing and see it become reality right in your face. NigeriaWakeUp
Mollycoddle.
We need to protest this guys are embezzling our money,how can a school drop out like you be earning 8.5m while a professor is earning 500k
Before nko, why won't it be too small. They should in short triple it. Awon ole, ojelu! Instead of cutting cost to make the country work by putting more money into social welfare and social infrastructure 2 improve our socio-economic life as a nation they seek to fill their belly
I think we now have a bull in China shop as regards most of these our law makers. They only care about themselves not minding what the masses are facing. 30k has been a mountain for you and now you can have the gut to say 8.5M is too small for you. Better sell the whole of Nig.
You see our life outside?
Insatiable people representing us at the National level.
These guys care are heartless and looking for trouble
How much do you want then as your monthly stipend? 🤔 if 8.5 is not enough!
what of corpers that are receiving 19800 in a month
I wonder the level of mumuness in Nigerians how will someone collect such pay monthly and pray for a better Nigeria? 😪😪😪
Dumb people
Anyways, what do we expect when ticket is 22m and one'll spend about 100m-300m campaigning. If 8.5m is too small, then d proposed 30k minimum is not money at all.
naijama Law-making should be a part-time job. National Assembly should have two three-month session every year with allowance for emergency sessions. I think N85,000 (before tax) per month is a better salary for Nigerian Senators. Any Senator who does not like it he should resign.
To an extent, he has a point. legislative offices need proper fundings to enable them work effectively and travel for reserches. But they don't use the money for that purpose so why the need for the increase? How many bills do you present in a year that demands such increase?
Thunder fire him when most Nigerians are living below poverty level
If you were doing your job who will complain about how much you are being paid.
When some families are living on 8500 monthly
What conscience!
Hmmm, nawaoh!

8.5million is small?
Wọ́n tí bẹ̀rẹ̀ ó
God punish your generation, wicked generation. How much is the minimum wage ole
What are Nigerians do to this statement majority of us have nothing doing and some lost our jobs and those people we voted for said 8.5 m is enough or small for a month.
This is should open your eyes fellow Nigerians that these guys are not ready to actually represent us solely because of the greater good.The cost of Government is too high and things aren't getting better.We have to actually elect leaders who are financially secured.
If the N8.5 is not enough then why not submit resignation later, after all their are thousands of youths out there who can do better than you all, imagine you guys see N8.5 monthly and you're complaining. You people desever very less than that
Left for me the HouseNGR should be scrapped bcoz I haven't even seen their use since independence of Nigeria. We should have just one chamber which is the NGRSenate nd their allowances cut down to 1m per month. Then we will see those who really want to serve Nigeria
Name him
I think it's high time we as a pipu begin to strategize how to recall all this selfish law makers abi whatever they call themselves. 8.5m is nor enuf, just imagine such guts. 30k for civil servants u guys kannuh fight for them. If only we had a labor union in this con3
Most expensive legislature in the world i guess Hope for the common kontri pipu
Unfortunate set of people
kikibebz
Eh, go back to farming na
And yet 30k mininum wage is too much It’s only in Africa we take political offices as birth right If u feel the job you are doing can’t meet your needs then you have to quit so that someone else who is capable and will appreciate it take up the job
Patronise Kaiser's Queen collections today
Certified thief. How much has he voted to research institutions to do research that he now demands millions for jamboree in the name of sponsoring a bill? Let’s multiply 8.5 by bills sponsored in the last year and see whether it correlates with monies released to them
I suggest that lawmaking should be a part time thing, let them function for just six months and get paid for that six month, and their salary should be slashed by more than half, that's the only way our legislative can grow o.
How and what is there job self are they different from government workers with the minimum wage of 30,000
Awon eleribu gbogbo ... bandits.
If N8. 5m is too small for each member of Rep with total number of 360 members in the House, I think they should go to CBN and distribute the money therein among themselves. Workers cannot collect tangible salaries monthly and yet each of you collects N8. 5m

Next Level tins
