  1. Most of the projects that senators do are not necessary if there is good governance. For instance, the bore holes here and there is an evidence of government's failure. In a developed country, you dont do bore holes as s senator but portable water runs centrally in every household. Most of these fund given to senators shall be squandered e.g Senator Sanni Danlami use his huge conststituency fund to circumcised 130 boys. Haba! How much does it cost a couple to circumcise each boy. What a project! These are borrowed money and they say they will cut cost of govenance

  2. These things are happening because Nigerians channel their focus protesting on the wrong issues. There's no evil in Nigeria bigger than the national assembly occupants, the moment Nigerians channels their focus the national assembly and possibly invade it like the Americans did on January 6th, this will continue to happen.

  3. How are these theives killing Nigerians on daily basis. Akpabio must refund the money. 20 billion naira not for the whole country but his small constituency. Do we know what #20 billion is?

  4. Do you think if you do investigative reports, exposing the manufacture, distribution of fake products, do you think they will be hailing you as the best crew in journalism? But they know your kind of "journalism" glosses over crime. You just do barest minimum journalism. Basic reporting – Akpabio said this, Ningi said that. I can't believe people actually watch this crap

  5. Everyone around Peter Obi – Godwin Emefiole (most corrupt CBN governor) Ike Ekeremadu (most corrupt senator, forfeited 40 houses to EFCC) Nduka Obaigbeba (corrupt Arise Media TV owner, linked to Boko Haram arms purchase scandal) Julius Abure (linked to 3.4 BILLION LP campaign funds) Peter Obi once caught with 250 million cash (Anambra state money) Corrupt people want to fight corruption

  6. Politics is not for Africans.
    Why give people money where there's no accountability to develop the local governments.
    The parliamentary system is better than the African system. The British dont get money. They will apply for funds for projects and funding. Its accounted for.
    Direct funding should go to local governments. Not giving money to senators

  7. The senate prsidents allocation of more than 20 billion which is more than that of 10 states and we talk of fairness?The president of the senate act is Nepotism.Allocating more resources to his constitunt than others is constituency and allocating more to ranking senators or his friends is cronysm.

  8. Meeting in UK for public accounts of Nigeria? Na wa woooooo When we are reducing cost of governance? Is a pity? What of a virtual meeting for Other countries are leveraging technology we are not only analog but insane

  9. Why should the Senate president and his constituency be given 18 billion and my constituency given about 200 million. Is the vote of his constituency more than the vote of my constituency? Every constituency is equal and their constituency project amount must be equal.

  10. What is wrong in civilian coup when the law allows the Senate to change their leadership anytime. Even the president can be impeached. There is no place that says there can't civilian coup if that it means removing the leadership of all the arms of government using constitutional means. It is only the military are not allowed to change the government.

  11. Don't even use the whole 500M, just use 400M each year for a specific project in your constituency and Nigeria will immediately move out of poverty! Use the remaining to sort out salaries and setup maintenance of the project!

  12. Political bandits. These are the real enemies of this country. Nigerians should wait, exercise patience while politicians keep stealing and loot the country's Treasury

  13. Is quite unfortunate that every year we make noise on budget padding and yet nothing comes out of it and no one gets prosecuted or jailed for it.

    Where is the EFCC and the police and why are they not investigating these allegations. Going back to past budgets why are they not investigating the moneys budgeted for constituency projects and interrogate individual senators on how the spent the money.

    The media and journalists why are you not going out and investigate these past constituency projects. The police, media and journalists have all failed.

  14. They should've had the workshop in Sambisa forests….the foreign currencies changed…the lost commerce of local vendors….the esta codes abused….its scandalous Chief Abati…i concur

  15. NINGI didn't tell us anything we didnt suspect. As a rat in the house he confirmed our suspicions even with amounts. Now they are fighting over 'ota pia pia'….🤣😂

  16. Truth is fast catching up with them. They have not seen anything. It will run from the head to the toe. Presidency, house of representatives, governors should be getting ready. There’s nothing you can do to stop truth, once truth decides to overtake years long lies upon lies , nothing can stop it. Stay tuned!!!
