Some of the senators, who spoke with Punch said because of non-payment of their salaries, they were forced to apply for loans from banks but the banks refused to give them, citing economic difficulties the Nigerian government is facing.
A PDP senator who spoke with Punch said a
bank turned down his request for a N20m loan recently.
The senator said the excuse of the bank
was that so many high profile Nigerians were currently indebted to them
and that the issue of cash crunch, which is affecting all sectors, was
not helping matters.
He said,
Source: Punch“The National Assembly Service Commission had only approved N6m to each of us as housing loan. What can that type of money do in a place like Abuja? It is grossly inadequate but we have taken it as a sacrifice.”
Hmmmm, lies lies,,story that touches the heart! Rubbish!
ReplyDeleteDis pple r mad o, #6m is too small 2 gt accommodation in Abuja? Chai!
DeleteThey should carry out a property audit.
DeleteThere are too many empty and over priced houses in abj.
If the owners are not interested in renting them, why are they keeping them?
Recovery of looted funds can start here in abj.
The houses should be auctioned to those that really need them.
Mr lawmaker, if you are lamenting what do you now want us to do?
Go and look for a self contain in gwarinpa. Foolish people... What can 6m do for accommodation?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, lies lies,,story that touches the heart! Rubbish!
ReplyDeleteThe likes of Dabiri seem to have taught tbe banks a bitter lesson
ReplyDelete6m was given to them and they're still complaining.
ReplyDeleteGreedy people.
Am sure most of them have houses in Abuja, they should go and live in them.

Before they became senators am sure they were living somewhere, let them continue to live there. The country does not have money, they see 6m them no happy.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, feel the heat of what you have cursed, better pass a law to get stolen funds return and jail them
ReplyDeleteElla ojukan
ReplyDeleteIt's you kinda people that makes Abuja expensive how can you say that 6m can't get a decent accommodation for you guys in Abuja. Smh am beginning to love Buhari
ReplyDeleteElla ojukan
ReplyDeleteN6m is a huge sum of money- my senator, abeg cut your coat according to your size- please get in touch with me and I will rent a 4 bedroom house to you with sufficient space for your security personnel (for only N3.5 million annually)
ReplyDeleteDafuq wow 6million isn't okay for u senators, alright that's why Nigeria won't be a bera country, they shud go and sit down, looters n embezzlers
ReplyDeleteLmao! They should spend the previous loot they saved up na. Silly people.
ReplyDeleteDey should not complain as dey are serving their Father's Land. At least dey have tasted a dose of their own medicine. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteNooo!, don't take it as a sacrifice before nah, u go tey for there, u can't cut your coat according to your cloth, u think this a spendthrift and corrupt government like d one before Abi?.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, finally they get to have a little feel of what an ordinary business man in Nigeria faces...

Senator please respect yourselves, what can 6 million do.. Please don't insult us. Come to karu and get a three bedroom flat at below one million naira. Or stay in your constituency and come for your meetings, for the night I have a perfect 15,000 room hotel
ReplyDeletei think i love this. the beginning of a better thing. 9ice 1 Linda
ReplyDeleteSacrifice indeed.
ReplyDeleteWith 6m, u can get a good self - contain in abuja, you are all bunkers, where do u want to stay dat 6m isn't enough? U wan build house ni?
ReplyDeleteEven 6m will still build him a three mini bedroom flat. Oloshi senator
DeleteThe challenge is that our political class lives a high profile lifestyle, they should make do with what they have.
ReplyDeleteLoving the cash crunch decision
ReplyDeleteI don't want to see the word sacrifice,this is what their collective actions have cause Nigeria over the years if they are now struggling what do they expect ordinary Nigerians to do.So a beg forget the word sacrifice.
ReplyDelete6million naira for accommodation and that is not enough for a year rent? Even in Maitama, there are decent duplexes for 4million per annum and 2 million naira can do the place up a bit pending the payment of their over-bloated expenses. In fact, I pray strongly that soon in compliance with the realities on ground that legislative personnel will have to do useless duties on a part time basis. Awon oniranu, ole buruku ti n bu aarin ole
ReplyDeleteDon't mind them greedy people
DeleteThe economy is not favourable not just for banks but for everybody....there are right though....
ReplyDeleteHow nice. @20mil to them can be repaid within a week, 6mill should be enough for now pending when they steal and embezzle funds. Atleast They should have a taste of the hardship and neglect on individuals owed for more than 8months.
ReplyDeleteso N6 million nor reach to rent house for Abuja? They should try the Satellite towns..
ReplyDeleteHere we go again, N6m NOT enough for our elected honourables(?) to rent a house, this on where they will (most likely) spend less than 4months in a year given the rate they have started. They shld be told that many who (s)elected are living on squalor; Joe Biden (V.P) has only a bachelor pad in Washington commutes by train back home most wknds.
ReplyDeleteFunny. Funny. Here was I thinking all they do is eat cakes. I still think they eat only cakes, though. They've not been very much around to have time to plunder.
ReplyDelete6 million naira not enough to rent a decent house? That means the rest of the population not comprising senators are just not living. Common, go and stay in a house worth 6 million. Are you kings and queens? Witches and wizards. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually looking for this type of sacrifice. 6million naira for accommodation in Abuja is the very sacrifice I am looking forward to.
ReplyDelete6m is more than enough to get a house that will take of them and their basic needs for the 4 yr period they will be senators.
ReplyDeletePlus they should as Sen dino melaye where he gets money he's been flaunting around lately
Serzly 6mill is vry small,myduplex where i stay in Asokoro,I pay my landlord 12mil annually, 2 gt a Gud duplex in town,dat moni won't go anywhere bt some of dis senators has gud houses in town sha
ReplyDelete6m is not enough for accommodation while am here looking for 150k for my accommodation. God will punish all of u criminals
ReplyDeleteOhhhh this story shows how criminal some of these senators are. I thought they are there to serve not enrich themselves. If 6m isn't enough to rent you an apartment in Abuja, why then are you there. Let those who are ready to serve the country without complaints occupy the seat. You want to draw a 20m loan against what? Your position as a senator?clowns. Una never start
ReplyDeleteGood! Let them know how it feels for civil servants to be owed 6 months rent where they can hardly feed their families. N6m housing loan and they're complaining??? Get outta here. Mchewwww
ReplyDeleteThanks!! That is simple commendable! Ndi ori!
ReplyDeleteFor goodness sake, this NASS job should be properly classified as part-time. The constitution says that they will sit for 181 days out of 365. That leaves them with 184 days to do their other businesses. Even from the 181 days, they also observe all national public holidays plus those orchestrated by them. So, in effect, they do not even sit for 181 days and during the last 7th Assembly, it was alleged (and you can trust that in Nigeria, whatever is alleged is almost correct) that they got a total package of circa N342million per annum each, which literally translates to nearly N1m per day. And now, they are saying the N6m per annum accommodation is not enough. They have not added basic salary, wardrobe allowance, vehicle allowance, entertainment allowance, committee membership allowance, constituency allowance, oversight assignment pecks, travelling expenses allowance, medical allowance, office stationery allowance including biros, typing sheets and photocopy papers. Haba, National Assembly! Why do you want to infect the citizenry with more ailments than the ones you are elected to cure? Think about it.
ReplyDeleteYeah. At least you got $6 MiIlion. 99% of ya constituents still looking for 100O Naira as we speak and not even for housing, but for the next meal. when the government is no longer creditworthy type of things going on. Maybe this will dissuade criminals from vying for elected position.
ReplyDeleteThey are still day dreaming of being under GEJ administration. Corrupt and selfish people.
ReplyDelete😂😂😂 I can't deal abeg. ..lmao
