What we have in Nigeria is “Cleptocracy” and not Democracy. ReplyThe poster did not include his deputy. Below are some excerpts from the same story culled from Premium Times. Under the proposed law, Mr. Akpabio and others listed in Section 1(1) are entitled to a monthly pension for life at the rate equivalent to his current salary. Similarly, the serving deputy governor, Valerie Ebe, is entitled to a monthly pension for life at the rate of her current salary. Mr. Akpabio and his deputy; Mrs. Ebe will therefore pocket a total of ₦2, 223, 705. 00; and ₦2, 112, 215, 00 respectively as monthly and a total of ₦26, 684, 460,00 and ₦25, 346, 580 respectively as pension, per annum. The governor is also entitled to a new official car and a utility vehicle once every four years, one personal aide and the provision of adequate security for his person during his lifetime at the expense of the state government. Akwa Ibom taxpayers are also expected to provide an amount not exceeding ₦5 million or an equivalent of $50,000.00 monthly for Mr. Akpabio to engage the services of a cook, chauffeurs and security guards. However, the deputy governor is entitled to ₦2million naira or an equivalent of $20,000.00 monthly allowance to hire cooks, chauffeurs and security guards. Mr. Akpabio and his spouse are to also access free medical services at a sum not exceeding ₦100 million or an equivalent of $600,000.00, while the deputy and her spouse will pocket ₦30 million or an equivalent of $200,000.00, annually. Section 1(e, f, g, h, I j) of the bill wants Mr. Akpabio and other past governors entitled to a “Provision of a befitting house not below a 5-bedroom maisonette in either the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja or Akwa Ibom State for the Governor and a yearly accommodation allowance of 300 percent of annual basic salary for the deputy governor; (300 percent of the deputy governor’s basic salary is ₦6, 336,645). “Provision of furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual basic salary once in every four years; (A total of ₦6, 671,115 for the governor and ₦6, 336,645 for the deputy) “Provision of yearly maintenance and fueling of vehicle allowance of 300 percent of annual basic salary; (A total of ₦6, 671,115 for the governor and ₦6, 336,645 for the deputy) “Provision of severance gratuity allowance of 300 percent of annual basic salary as at the time the officer leaves office; (Another ₦6, 671,115 for the governor and ₦6, 336,645 for the deputy) “Provision of yearly utility allowance of 100 percent of annual salary; (with the governor taking ₦2, 223,705 while his deputy takes ₦2, 112, 215) “And provision of entertainment allowance of 100 percent of annual basic salary; (Another ₦2, 223,705 for the governor and ₦2, 112, 215 for the deputy).” One surviving spouse of the governor is entitled to a medical allowance not exceeding ₦12 million per annum provided such spouse was married to the governor at the time he or she was in office or if a wife had served as First Lady.

Nigeria is a very rich country, naturally blessed in every ways but the bad headed so called politicians are making life both difficult and very unbearable for Nigerians. This country is rich enough to sought the country's problem if well managed. Believe me guys, if these resources are being managed by white people with future vision....this country will never know what is called hunger, unemployment and embezzlement. Don't get me wrong guys, am not suggesting we should bring them in but would have liked some sensible politicians with a future vision to run that country and not this kind of idiots politicians who only cares for themselves and not even thinking about their fellow citizens. His type with such destructive ideas should be stripped off their assets and thrown in jail for a long term. Thanks guys and God Bless. Reply

what is wrong with our leaders? We are becoming so “dumbed down”that we accept everything thrown at us. It is all about money, more money, with properties scatter all over the world. Our leaders are so cruel that their legacy are the billions of Naira accumulated from the treasury. It is very certain that the lawmakers will hurriedly pass it into law because they too already have their share of the cake. What a shame! The idiot call Akpabio was one time the people hopeful presidential aspirant. Ever since he publicly admitted corrupting the votes to favour his friend, it has been one ugly incident to another. The irony of this is that the masses still do not understand the folly of their leaders, those entrusted with the People's responsibility are taking us for an ugly ride. We really need to stop all this nonsense. They are seeing us as foolish and unreasonable, all we do is pray, calling on God to do the magic and fight for us. Not until we realize that the struggle is ours, the masses, there will be no end to it. A leader is supposed to be a servant to the people, not the other way round. History teaches us that when a king errs and refuse to take correction, the people revolt and a new king is chosen in his place. We need to clean the system of the unscrupulous elements of the society. The time to act is now! Reply
