Following the uproar that arose from the recent anti-Igbo remarks by the
Oba of Lagos, President-elect, Gen. Buhari has appealed to Igbos in Lagos state to bury the
hatchet and vote for APC in the
April 11th
governorship election in their own interest, saying they will benefit from his government if they do so. According to him, all tribes are well
represented in Lagos state and there is no Northern Nigeria or
Southern Nigeria, we have only One Nigeria. Gen Buhari said this while
campaigning for APC Governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode in Lagos
yesterday April 7th.
"I admire what your governor has done in
terms of mobilising revenue to sustain Lagos development. I have a lot
of respect for Governor Fashola for his hard work, commitment to the
state and the country. There is no doubt that Lagos is a mini-Nigeria.
We are all here and it has been mentioned by previous speakers that
everybody (tribe) is adequately represented in Lagos. So, I assure you. If you vote for the
continuity of APC in Lagos, you stand to gain more. It is in your
interest that you vote for the APC. Please when you go home tell your
neighbours, relatives and even the opposition to please bury the
hatchet. Let them fall in line and vote the APC. When we were coming in our bus, Fashola
told me how Lagos State had been spending to maintain the federal
infrastructure here such as buildings, roads and other institutions. I
had promised before that if I won the election and became the President,
I would make Lagos my priority. Governor Fashola is already holding to
me to that promise so I would like the incoming governor to listen
carefully and make sure he makes me honour my undertaking.” he said

I see Lagos state b far better than d way it is@d moment wit d next Governor taking over. I pray, and wish APC wins.
I vote whoever i want to vote Mr president elect! It is called DEMOCRACY!!!
Oh please!! Spare me the story..
Truth be told....until JK started his campaign, Lagos didn't have Igbos, Yorubas or Hausas. All she had were Lagosians. The hussles and buzzles...the hard life...the struggle for survival...from the bus conductors..to the bus drivers ...passengers...commuters...agbero...bla bla bla...they all spoke a common Lagos language...with the common Lagos sharpness...common Lagos
alertness and a common Lagos vision...the vision for a better developed, and peaceful Lagos of greater opportunities. This bond had built their drive for prosperity...from Tinubu to Fashola...working hand in hand with a very ethnic rich cabinet...made of pat utomi, joe igbokwe, ben akabueze, and a host of others, lagosians had always been lagosians. But like I said...that was until JK started his campaign.Just like PDP is known..taking devilish advantage of our differences... Religious differences on a national level, ethnic differences on a local level..and even academic differences on certain occasions...this has been the hallmark of pdp.Lagosians should look beyond these difference as always...vote for the party that has always offered the best... But keep tribal diff out of the way...because at the end of the day...everyone shares the same struggle. Let us stop seeing things from a tribal perspective.
Your cup of tea
Is that so.....
If Fashola cld achieve al dese during Jonathan 's administration , why cant Jimi achieve under ur administration. Story for d gods #Jimi4govt
My president you don't need to talk too much. Ambo is our man
The Oba of Lagos in an attempt to intimidate the igbos resident in Lagos has threatened to kill igbos if they vote for Jimi Agbaje for Governor. No body can test the resolve of our people. Igbo bu igbo let us now show our electoral worth and relevance by voting for Agbaje. Great warriors of Biafra, please teach this Oba a lesson with your vote. Any igbo who votes for Ambode is a slave. Send this to at least 5 others. Igbo kwenu ! !
just look @tinibu! dat man looks like a monster! running
So if we vote pdp we will not gain....na wa oooo. One nigeria oooo. ..We never start e Don dey talk rubbish. My vote is for JK. ...
Buhari if you like help Lagos if you like ignore Lagos; we will survive.
What special thing has Fashola done with his Tax windfall in the last 4 years compared to the way he worked with less than 50% of this money in his first 4 years.
The thing I want these Yoruba people to know is that they are not smarter than anyone else; as a matter of fact they exhibit their folly by presuming to be smarter when everyone else just chooses to be quiet and watch.
Buhari is just here to assist Tinubu protect his cash cow (Lagos) but God's will shall be done on 11 April 2015.
If it is the will of God for Tinubu to own the balance of 50% of Lagos he doesn't already own, so be it. But he cant take Lagos to the grave.
If there is a new elite in Abuja, it would be nice to have a different set of guys run Lagos for a change.
Whoever wins should get rid of agberos!!
Not even buhari dat ll safe dis Alabode oh sorry Ambode frm hands of Lagosians millions minds has been made up so it's too late already cos everybody Loves Jimi Agbaje JK Original Omoluabi Eko.....ekotigbon.com

Sai buhari I like u gmb but Oba of Lagos shud apologize to igbos officially
Is he saying that if the opposition win Lagos, he ll not honour his promises...? Eyes rolling.

Is just because of you o.
If its for that oba alone we would have done another thing.
They should leave this people let them sell their market instead of wasting their time. They didnt remember them during their 16yrs of governing lagos. Now they need their votes, they are disturbing them everyday. Apc is just scared of loosing cos igbos are many in Lagos.

After reading through this Special Report, any
shred of doubt in the reader's mind that Nigeria is
doomed and heading for a headlong, downward
plummeting will simply dissipate. The details of
the remuneration of an average Nigerian Senator
is detailed below:
* Basic Salary (B.S) - N2,484,245.50
* Hardship Allowance (50% of B.S) -
N1,242,122.70
* Constituency Allowance (200% of B.S) -
N4,968,509.00
* Newspapers Allowance (50% of B.S) -
N1,242,122.70
* Wardrobe Allowance (25% of B.S) -
N621,061.37
* Recess Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55
* Accommodation (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00
* Utilities (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Domestic Staff (70% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12

* TOTAL MONTHLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00
($181,974.00)
* TOTAL YEARLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 x 12
= N353,756,988.00 ($2,183,685.00)
* EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162
LEGISLATORS PAY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM
* Britain - $105,400.00

* France - $85,900.00
* South Africa - $104,000.00
* Kenya - $74,500.00
* Saudi Arabia - $64,000.00
* Brazil - $157,600.00

In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP
per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the
salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the
country’s GDP per person, that of a British
member of parliament is just 2.7 times.
The average salary of Nigerian worker based on
the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So,
the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 =
N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator =
$2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638
years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian
Senator.

Legislators, both at d state & federal level are d
problem of dis country. They only legislate into
their pocket. Lets unite, mobilize & move against
them beginning with those thieves at the National
Assembly. We the Nigeria youth want the National Assembly Annum to be cut to $70,000.00. Per yearly thank you.
Tinubu looks asleep
Na for una wey dey for lagos e concern
Sai Baba don talk. Seems oba and PDP just set trap up for APC usual. Is it not d same oba wer fashola dey blast wen GEJ turned is palace and Lagos to is second home. Lagos gov has b using our tax money to developed Lagos. Wen d opposite party (PDP) at d center neglected us. Lagos people should wise up. It time ll benefit from fed and enjoy. This is same campaign speech GEJ and agbaje used then. It left for ambode to follow fashola step and never disappoint general. Anybody body who no stay for lagos shouldn't add any negative contribution to dis issue. It our struggle u ar not there wen ll pay heavy tax . Ambode ni joor.
Tinubu and Buhari are looking like dead partners. Lol. Engr Emy
Hahaa,haji buhari!

What is the principal interest of the Igbos in Lagos? What do we seek to achieve in our sojourn here? My
take is simple. We seek a prosperous Lagos that is economically viable, peaceful....a mini Nigeria of sorts
where all people are able to live and pursue their livelihood without let or hinderance. As a people that thrive
on commerce, Igbos want a Lagos where there are government policies that promote the growth of
commerce and business. A Lagos where government builds roads, bridges, hospitals and is generally alive
to their duties. Education is free in Lagos and our children enjoy this. No Igbo child has been sent away
from any public school in Lagos. Lagos state government pays WAEC and NECO fees for all students in
Lagos....our children enjoy this too.
What do we really want in Lagos? The truth is that we are strangers here. Lagos belongs to some people,
just like Onitsha and Aba. Let's not carry on as if this place is a no man's land. It is not. All of a sudden,
Jimi Agbaje has become an Igboman....we have adopted him as our son.....the same way we adopted
President Jonathan in the last election against our strategic interest as a people...a decision that has left us
in serious political confusion and our senators begging to be admitted into the APC.
What is the difference between Jimi Agbaje and Akinwumi Ambode? Is any of them Igbo? What is our
problem? I believe that we have a fair share here. We live in peace unlike our people in the North. I don't
think there are more Igbos in Lagos than there are in Kano, yet we live peacefully here. Yorubas are highly
politically sophisticated people and they understand that it us better for them to have a government in
Lagos that belongs to the same party as the party at the centre. Igbos cannot love Lagos more than
Yorubas. This is their land. If anything happens here now, we will all leave and return home. These people
own here...this is their home and we must respect their feelings. Every person living in Lagos wants more
federal presence in Lagos. We want a 4th mainland bridge, we want so many other things that the federal
government can do. In the years past, Lagos hasn't enjoyed much federal intervention because of political
party differences. Now they have that chance and we want to spoil it for them by being more catholic than
the pope. Let everybody vote any candidate he wants but I reject any collective Igbo move to vote against
the strategic interests of the people who own the land where we live and make our living. Lagos has been
good to our people. We have succeeded here in business and the professions.
Let's not disrespect the people of Lagos. I will not support any move that will create an impression that
Igbos are against the interest of the owners of Lagos. Nobody has murdered our people here like what we
see in the north. Lagos remains the only state in this country where Igbos hold top government positions.
Even our neighbors and brothers, Rivers State have never given us that privilege despite our huge
population and presence there. As for me, I want Lagos to progress and on Saturday, I will proudly vote for
Akinwumi Ambode.
God pls fight for ur children

That's my able General talking sense. ***Salute***
Ambode is a big NO for me
U're not serious.What the hell do you mean by "It's in our own interest we vote for APC",Na by force????
Shey your cohort the stupid arrogant bush baby of an Oba said he's not willing to beg,We also are not willing to compromise.You guys should keep blabbing your big mouth forgetting that all power belongs to God Almighty.
We are not giving APC our votes so do your worst when power is handed over to you and watch God make that seat too hot for you.
Does he want us to vote for his party or for the right man.. Anyways not voting so not my business ----C21
All I Need, Is Just A Very Matured and Understanding Lady for A Serious Relationship, Addup 2bcdd5ed
Like seriously? who gave this grandpa mouth?
Abeg park well we voted you cos of you not the party .
We will also vote Jimi not party.
Individual make the difference not party
What is all this trash? No word of caution to the Oba who cannot briddle his tongue. Are igbos the only pple in Lagos? SMH.
Rubbish we shall not vote for him.
Come that day, all will vote who they want.
Talk is Cheap
Story for the gods. We wan see wetin the yeye Oba go do.
One question pls
How is it in their best interest?
So if we dont vote apc then good things won't come our way eh? Ara ba bukwa unu... nonsense.
The general has spoken.....Sai Baba
It is also in your best interest to visit naijacarlovers.blogspot.com. Lol. check it out shaa.
A question for u Buhari. Why must lagos b a priority when there r other states that need your attention.please work on states that need development first..

Well said! #Saibuari
Well said! #Saibuari
Jim Agbaje will listen to you sir Buhari
I think someone needs to educate this man, that, the political leanings of a man expressed through his vote for a party or candidate is to help determine who manages the resources of state. The onus on the winner of that process is to manage it for EVERYBODY. Unless GMB is already telling the SS and SE, to forget about the federal government.
buhari abeg keep shut. must we vote apc in lagos? why are they all using style to impose ambode? so no respect for the people's suffrage again? foolish people
Mtchew, nonsense!
It is quite unfortunate Linda that in this year and time people are being threatened to vote a candidate by force, is this a military regime? Is this the change APC has being clamoring for? Inorder words Buhari and all his APC illiterates are wolves who have been waiting to destroy this country. Who gave them the impetus to threaten Ibos, what is Nigeria without the Ibos and morealso the southern East? I tot Buhari was better than this? This will make the Ibos that neva wanted to vote initially come out to vote massively for Jimi Agbaje cos he is the best person for Lagos State.. everything frudulent oozes around ambode, his smile, his pose, name it, smells lies and armed robbery. In all the years PDP ruled we have neva seen this kind of political senselessnes and carelessness as we are seeing in APC Members..and dem neva assume office yet!

buhari said and i quote"i wld make Lagos my priority'....hmmm....we wld c 2 dt
It is in your interest indeed.
So the next Governor would have to make you keep your undertaken. Hmmmm, a good President will do his job which includes taking care of the Federal roads wherever they are, party or no party. We are waiting.
@Tinubu's face LOL...#ndinzuzu#
Hmmmmm! Another threat from a presidential elect. In our own interest and if we don't vote for apc dat means the reverse will be the case. Ntoooor ndi igbo, u left wia u suppose to develop nd be developin someone elses place wen onitsha nd aba is dia. Dis is just the beginning.
Am beginning to like this man , hope he will bring the needed changes in Nigeria
A one party state isn't good either. There needs to be a balance of power with opposition parties in the mix.
Lolz. See Tinubu's eye. Lolz

I believe you my President-elect. With God on your side, I believe you would deliver. Linda take note!

Dear Lagosian,
Yorubas are very decent and reasonable people. No tribe will entertain on their land what is going on in Lagos.
We all condemn the statement of OBA AKIOLU. But let ask ourselves one important question, WHY IS OBA AKIOLU ANGRY WITH IGBOS?
My answers are:
1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.
2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH
3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.
4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM
5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO
MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,
1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?
2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?
3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?
4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?
5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?
My conclusion: We have been living together as brothers for years in peace. You must respect our tradition and institutions.Ifeanyi Ubah should stop jumping around Lagos beating drums of war.
GOD BLESS YORUBA AND IGBO
Mtchew! Okpu ogwu na onu? Taa gbafuo here!
Abeg make dem go sitdown for were dey shit put.liv us alone.
He is indirectly threatening the igbos and lagosians. Is it a problem for one to vote for the candidate of his/her choice?. Am scared of this change from apc, it sounds diabolical.
Am watching oooooooo

Dazed from the finest Colombian sh*t...
In our interest? We will gain more? And you tell me Buhari has the best intrest of Nigeria. What ever happened to fairness. Why can't we still vote for the opposition and still get our quota as being part of a country. APC is really a canker worm, ready to eat up whoever's not in support. With his statement he has no plans of supporting the Igbos. Talk about ethno-religious sentiments and I will show a perfect example. I spit on APC..
Linda this is another threat and not appeal. hmmmmm! WHAT IS IT REALLY WITH THIS GROUP CALLED APC. so if the igbos dont vote for apc, then lagos will be left out. nIgerians are in for a shocker from this group and this man called buhari. look at a statement from a president elect. all to show you the war that would have been on by now had PGEJ not conceaded defeat which he did for peace to reign in nigeria. inec resident commissioner in kano was wiped out with all members of his family because he threatened to speak out if pdp goes to court on how apc rigged election in kano to come up with that alarming figures.
You can take a horse to the river but you can't
Force it to drink the water.
Igbo's please its time we start moving our business back to our land and improving our own economy in preparation for whatever is to come. Enough of idiots thinking they have rule over us, our pride our freedom. Enough of improving their economy as we can see they really do not appreciate it or us, enough of acting as if all is well when it is not. Enough of sidelining, enough of hate, enough of Nigeria, Nigeria is a Big fraud. Ndi-Igbo please let's all rise up. #ProudlyIgbo
Lyk seriously,we are really really in trouble. Those dat elected dis Buhari are fools,u all will suffer.
FALL IN LINE........Hmmmn! These men should stop flogging this issue! The more they talk about it, the more they fuel our anger. Ibos may vote for other parties in their own states but they know that they will only vote APC in Lagos. Not because they were instructed to, but because they know it's the best party to govern Lagos. But now, most of them will vote PDP just to spite the Oba even though he isn't the one running for governor. The Oba should hold a press conference and apologise for his statement . It will be much more appreciated than the party doing damage control. I know people are hurt and offended, but let's not let pride get in the way of our objectivity.
Nigeria will not change with the idea of APC OR PDP RATHER THE CHANGE CAN ONLY OCCUR WHEN WE CHOOSE WHO IS THE RIGHT MAN FIT FOR THE JOB.
wht a treath! the Igbos are shacking. why are they scared? what are they afraid of? 1st they denied us our PVC. now it is to force the few that have thiers on who to vote for. the work of the FG is to take care of all states and everyone the political party not withstanding. if the must be APC for the change to come to lagos then SHAME on them. ndi ara, ndi oshi, ndi iberibe.
is this a threat or an appeal.
It would have been disastrous if GEJ had won the election.
My dear people. God's will shall reign in lagos. Please ibos vote u r choice. God is on u r side and no one will do anything to you. Amen
And my answer is yes if you have contributed immensely to the development of those areas. Yes, if you have significant number who can believe and vote for you. Please do try this and you will win. You haven't tried it.
I think Linda Ikeji is causing confusion here....all the newspapers reported that Buhari apologized to the Igbos yesterday...why using threat like headline
"'It is in your interest that you vote for APC'..when that is actually not the intention of Buhari...Linda do not cause unnecessary confusion.
jk we know jk we trust
i want to die inside dat river after votin for jimi
Bribing all d Igbo market men in Lagos dis dying minute won't cahnge the fact dat we are Voting 4 JK dis Saturday, My brothers just Chop and clean mouth
i want to die inside dat river after votin for jimi
True talk @anonymous.seriously don't know how well respected people arrange their speeches.not comfortable with 'for your own interest 'thing said by the president elect.this is democracy for goodness sake.no man should be cajoled to voting under duress.
I like Apc in Lagos but i have a problem with Ambode. I think Lagos needs that change they've been preaching all the while. Let's try a different party this time. #votejimiagbaje
why do we still need to vote when d oba can jst pronounce his candidate ambode d winner fool
Kai what a sad pity. The way you Igbos have carried this matter sure proves and exposes your true characters. You guys are truly unhappy, vindictive and angry people on the inside. May God comfort and console you all Amen. But be rest assured whether na apc or na pdp, it will be aYoruba man that will be governor. Lagosians you guys are really dulling o, you better start adopting the Rivers people way and start doing only indigenes bcos your niceness to outsiders is beginning to haunt you. I agree the Oba was wrong and he messed up, but shey life must go on and how difficult is it to forgive?
D change we need is Lagos is for anoda party 2 lead so dat we can evaluate things...does it mean dat, if JK wins, GMB ll not work with him? just thinking loud.
abeg sleep dey catch tinubu abi nah body pain dey do am
God bless u....that's anoda threat, one's interest is personal..
Irabor I m dazed by these figures. I v always proposed a cut in the cost of running the govt. Is reduced a lot corrupt practices and electoral violence will be eradicated. It is only then that credible candidates will emerge.
Buhari is a BIG FOOL!!! How dare you force people to vote for your candidate? Is it because you rigged yourself in collaboration with your evil brother Jega into power? Buhari must be a mad man, Ambode has nothing to offer. If you don't give Lagos state what is due when JK wins,God will surely wipe you out. APC will be voted out come this saturday,Tinubu and his cohorts dare not rig the elections. Buhari and APC has hatred for people from other ethnic groups. Buhari hates Igbos,and God will punish him for that.
May God bless ur generation...d change we want is wen PDP n APC work 2geda for d growth of d country. I'm beginning 2 think dat GMB is not a better choice either.
Igbo shld stop all dis intimidations ova dis guber poll.after d appeal of d president elect what else did u pple wnt again.am nt here 4 any appeal after d GMB apeal.if u like vote,if u like dont ,na u sabi.bt bliv me u(Igbo) are d lowest minority in Lagos.A stranger can not dictate 4d origin.Ambode 4sure.Sai GMB.Sai Jagaban>Tinubu of Nigeria developing d nation
I don't have a tribe but am a Nigerian. #1Nigeria. Sai Baba
The best candidate should win #onelovefromsnow#
Ibo people should get over themselves already.... only a tribalistic mind fishes for tribalism where there is none... to turn GMB's statement to a threat is plain silly. From your actions you guys have shown that you are the most pretentious and tribalistic sect we have in this nation....
Linda..GMB..not appealing to only Igbos..but to all Lagosians...be reporting objectively. Below is the complete statement by GMB..from the Punch Website..
He said, “I admire what your governor has done in terms of mobilising revenue to sustain Lagos development. I have a lot of respect for Governor Fashola for his hard work, commitment to the state and the country. There is no doubt that Lagos is a mini-Nigeria. We are all here and it has been mentioned by previous speakers that everybody (tribe) is adequately represented in Lagos.
“So, I assure you. If you vote for the continuity of APC in Lagos, you stand to gain more. It is in your interest that you vote for the APC.
“Please when you go home tell your neighbours, relatives and even the opposition to please bury the hatchet. Let them fall in line and vote the APC.
“When we were coming in our bus, Fashola told me how Lagos State had been spending to maintain the federal infrastructure here such as buildings, roads and other institutions. I had promised before that if I won the election and became the President, I would make Lagos my priority. Governor Fashola is already holding to me to that promise so I would like the incoming governor to listen carefully and make sure he makes me honour my undertaking.”
Imagine the Oba himself cannot beg d people...instead the party leaders r forcing d people to live with it,shut up and vote for them..hahahahahahaha
Imagine the Oba himself cannot beg d people...instead the party leaders r forcing d people to live with it,shut up and vote for them..hahahahahahaha

Shut d fuck up, u clearly cnt read cos if u cud I dnt tink u wud hve seen any element of force in our new president's statement.....i bliv in fashola nd as such I bliv in continuity....vote ambode.

Don't waste your vote and regret later.VOTE APC . That's the party with characters and measurable commitment

My Igbo brothers and sisters, let us face the truth. These people are using us as pawns in their game. Lagos has always been one- no tribe or religion. Now they want to play divisive poltitics, when they know the power Igbos possess to swing the outcome these elections. As for me, I am still voting my choice come Saturday. AMBODE for governor
Who is ds dunce? Hilda did they flog u? Or put a gun to ur head? Why are u so shallow? Pls stop disappointing me cos I know u can speak English. U are so full of hate. God pls deliver her soul from hate
Since the Election i have noticed your sensationalised headlines on your blog. You tried to push for a grandstanding send off for Jonathan but even your posters put you down. Then you carried on about what the Oba said. Now you are trying to say Buhari is threatning igbos.
Tell us from the state your from how many Yoruba indigenes have been made a chief or close to been an IGWE. How many Yorubas are in your House of Assembly. Keep stoking fire to irritate your hosts. Like you dont live in Lagos.
Immature Clown. Don't get carried away just because you have a popular blog, it comes with responsibility and since the election and prior your headlines as been bordering on stupidity.

SPECIAL REPORT:
SALARY OF NIGERIAN SENATORS.
After reading through this Special Report, any
shred of doubt in the reader's mind that Nigeria is
doomed and heading for a headlong, downward
plummeting will simply dissipate. The details of
the remuneration of an average Nigerian Senator
is detailed below:
* Basic Salary (B.S) - N2,484,245.50
* Hardship Allowance (50% of B.S) -
N1,242,122.70
* Constituency Allowance (200% of B.S) -
N4,968,509.00
* Newspapers Allowance (50% of B.S) -
N1,242,122.70
* Wardrobe Allowance (25% of B.S) -
N621,061.37
* Recess Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55
* Accommodation (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00
* Utilities (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Domestic Staff (70% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12
* Entertainment (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Personal Assistants (25% of B.S) - N621,061.12
* Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (75% of B.S) -
N1,863,184.12

* Severance Gratuity (300% of B.S) -
N7,452,736.50

* TOTAL MONTHLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00
($181,974.00)
* TOTAL YEARLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 x 12
= N353,756,988.00 ($2,183,685.00)
* EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162
LEGISLATORS PAY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM
* Britain - $105,400.00
* United States - $174,000.00
* France - $85,900.00
* South Africa - $104,000.00
* Kenya - $74,500.00
* Saudi Arabia - $64,000.00
* Brazil - $157,600.00
* Ghana - $46,500.00
* Indonesia - $65,800.00
* Thailand - $43,800.00
* India - $11,200.00

* Spain - $43,900.00
* Norway - $138,000.00
In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP
per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the
salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the
country’s GDP per person, that of a British
member of parliament is just 2.7 times.
The average salary of Nigerian worker based on
the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So,
the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 =
N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator =
$2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638
years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian
Senator.

Legislators, both at d state & federal level are d
problem of dis country. They only legislate into
their pocket. Lets unite, mobilize & move against
them beginning with those thieves at the National
Assembly. We the Nigeria youth want the National Assembly Annum to be cut to $70,000.00. Per yearly thank you.
LMFAOOOOO! It's funny how people aren't even reading between the lines.
This man is lowkey saying that we should vote apc to continue getting benefits etc. So what happens if pdp wins? Lagos won't be funded as much or? Yet another lowkey threat. Open your eyes people. It should not matter to this man who wins.
Anon 11:36 you are only just beginning to think? The man who constantly makes inciting statments? Nno oh! Welcome you hear
Very very true @ado Ali
Exactly, who else will call them out when they decide to lax & sip on champagne?
I can't still believe somebody is threatening to vote for JK going by his statement to elevate Eze Ndi-igbo to the status of Oba of Lagos. Doing that alone will cause crisis in Lagos and I can assure you all igbo dominated market will be burn to the ground. This is an honest assessment. The culprit here us JK who is desperate and want to achieve his aim using the Igbos. If Buhari Says vote APC for your own interests he is sure correct. Because the party you vote will determine who govern you and how. We all knew how PDP government tried to maligned the Lagos government just to discredit her. No opposition will enjoy a government at the center like a member of their party. Don't be foolish enough not to understand it that way. No matter how you want to look at it even if every igbo man votes JK, Ambode will still win as every other Lagosian now see JK as a confusionist and a tribal bigot so they will not vote for him. Last election showed clearly how the result of this week election will go. I believe the Oba should have refrain himself from anger not because he is a coward but because Ambode will win. Now that things have gone this way. I caution the Igbos to becareful how they talk on this issue. Believe it or not the more you try to show how relevant you are the more you allow other tribes in Lagos allowed the yorubas to have sympathy for the Oba and I tell you even if JK win this people may turn on you, your children and your business. Remember same Tinubu you are abusing now will start to control the central government who would have been there to protect you then. A word is enough for the wise if the wise does not want to be in trouble oooooooo!
He's stoned! Hahaha! Cocaine on point...
As painful as some of the articles I've read online for the past few days are, I cant help but take them with a pinch of salt because we the Igbos fail to read the hand-writings on the wall from the very begining. We didn't start making such a mistake today. This is a mistake our forefathers have always made. Yorubas from day one have always fought for their own interest and guaranteed future of their generations to come. Whether they use us the Igbos in the process or Hausas it doesn't matter. Still plainly shows that they are more supreme when it comes to this game of politics and human manipulation to do their bid and course. Which makes them thrive above others. Believe it or not, they are. But that don't mean the other tribes are dumb or not smart. Talents are diff... lets js give it to the Yorubas. They are born politicians.
Fact is Lagos belongs to the SW region and automatically its people. The argument about it belonging to Nigeria and therefore to everyone in Nigeria, be it East, North or whatever is BS. Even geography confirms that. They didn't force any Igbo man or woman to come and invest in Lagos. Yes, Lagos was once the capital of this country, hence the rapid growth and developments in the past. Same has happened to Abuja, and we all wanna relocate there now. If I may ask... what stops any part of the East from being developed or made a capital. Even if its for 8yrs? At least I know many Igbo multi billionaires who own chains of companies both home and abroad. What stops them from establishing in their towns? That's a question and I'm sure a mystery to be solved another day. But here's my own 2 cents. I'll tell you straight! Its we the Igbos. We are the architects of our problems from the on set. Blinded by greed, and driving carelessly by the love for money over the true benefit of a bright future. Not just for self, but for our generations to come. As painful as this may sound, the generations to come wont be spared of this shame and reproach. But I pray they will be smarter and more wiser than we the present and past Igbo generations.
PS. Wont you get angry if an outsider comes to your house and just because he lived with you for a while and during that period paid most bills starts to claim part ownership of the house? Igbos wake up. Lets check our priorities and put them right for christ's sake. Lets stop whining for once, admit and start to correct out mistakes. Till christ's second coming, lagos will still remain the land of the Yorubas.
U can be femi and answer onyebuchi for all we care
c yur mouth! jk nor b yoros like u and ambode, abi na ibo man. idiot tinubu na indigene of or fashola abi na d ileje man way una dey call ambode. u better shut yur dirty mouth and face d fact dat apc is out on saturday and a true son of d soil is takin his place. wicked yorubu pple!
Everybody will just open mouth and castigate Ndigbo. We are watching.
So does it mean that if Mr Jimi Agbaye wins General Buhari will go back on his words of making Lagos state his priority?
Get a life!!!!
A big fat bowl of clown
1 million likes to ur comment!
BAM!!!! preshy debbiez has spoken
So u want to vote for a particular candidate based on sentiments and not what they have to offer?..mumu
Lol @ tinibu's eyes
http://dobzifingers.blogspot.com/?m=1
If they don't help APC win, there will be a discord btw Lagos and FG. Its a fact. That's how politics is been played.
Don't mind the idiots whose hearts have been destroyed by unnecessary hatred. If you call Buhari a fool, then you have no respect for your father.
As for me and my family, we're voting for Ambode.
Hmmm. Now compulsory
Damn it, Bonario! Tell me what do u think Ambode has to offer for the next 8years? By now we should be open minded and stop voting for people based on parties...vote for the man that has a laid out plan. I want a government that has plans to improve our drainage system and not make roads because a certain someone has a property on that road! We have so much money being allocated to Lagos...enough of someone seeing the state as his kingdom and choosing his heir as he wishes
Go and ask the clueless Jonathan that you all voted for what he and his party did for Lagos in 5yrs.
You are very very stupid for writing this long crap and claiming that you are an Igbo person! Just as ambode has many Yoruba supporters, so also jimi abaje has so many Yoruba supporters! So for you to come here and rant that it's the decision of the yorubas to soley support ambode is arrant nonsense! It is the duty of each candidates to now canvass votes from non indigenes such as igbos, deltans, calabars, Hausa, etc!
You have no right to stampede the igbos to vote for ambode! What you have written here is no different from what that drunk Oba spewed the other day!......... Once I saw you first wrote your purported Igbo name, I knew immediately you're one of those paid Yoruba apc agents who knows nothing but playing dirty desperate politics!!!
Oh yes. Jimi Agbaje & PDP started the tribalistic campaign in Lagos. And they're going to lose woefully.
Oh you people feel threatened? Continue with the tribalistic campaign now. That's your specialty.
Mumu. Very soon you people would start crying of marginalization and asking for Biafra. And that's because you never vote with your brains. You always vote vindictively. Same way you used bad belle to lose Senate Presidency which is your natural right, by refusing to vote for Chris Ngige. I've never seen a dumber set of people. You all sleep in the same direction.
Common sense talk,GMB said if we all do d right thing by voting 4 d ruling party @ d centre which is a statement by our Gguber aspirant JK,den all tribe in lagos will benefits....vote wiselyd
For you to come here to justify that rubbish that your Oba spewed shows that you're in the same class of bestiality with him!!!
taiwo abi wetin b yur name, r u a lagosian? or frm ogun, osun,kwara,ondo or oyo ? is tinubu fashola or ambode and yur insane self frm dis state? u
foreigners dat call yselves lagosians r d
problem dat d oba needs to get rid.off.
tinubu yur thief mentor and cohorts like u low life bigot ,shld b flogged out of eko. so lagosians like jk d true son of
lagos can enjoy der God given right. low life leech like u and yur monstrous, demonic looking pple like u and tinubu son of servant can go fuck yurselves CURSED imposters! SON OF D SOIL JK WE KNOW.
i'm saddened by people taking this issue lightly.. gmb says, it's in our interest.. so if we don't vote APCriminals what will happen..<>? come saturday, Jimi will be Governor, let APcriminals and gmbitch do whatever they like..
Empty analysis.
It's a shame that the igbos have continuously been their greatest undoing. Unable to see beyond the lines and always have this victim mentality. I have seen that most people didn't even listen fully to what that lousy oba said. Can you do try this I'm the east? Can a yoruba man be given a political appointment in the east? Of course not. You act like you are all United but In truth, you are as divided as nicki minaj's boobs always acting on impulse and never looking at the bigger picture. I heard the main cause of the infuriation from the oba was that Jimin promised Igbos 7 commissioner seats if they vote pdp. What a shame. See apga, always producing an igbos candidate anywhere they contest. Which other party does that? Vote your freaking conscience and stop following the multitude to do or say evil! Vote wisely.
