What I hate most on here are pseudo-intelligent anon accounts with their half-truths and generic profile. If you actually read that book, you would know she dedicated an entire chapter to how the National Assembly held the national budget hostage every year just to protect their opaque financial allocations. She was literally fighting the financial deceit you are trying to defend. Beyond their basic salary, each senator takes home a #21 million monthly allowance, which is paid directly into their personal bank accounts in cash. It is untaxed. It is unaudited. And they never return the unspent balance. It is, by every financial definition, take-home pay. That's well over #260 million per annum. [premiumtimesng.com/news/top-…] This was in 2024, and there have been increases since then. If you can cite a book you haven't read in an attempt to sound smart, then you should be literate enough (hopefully) to search for the other salaries used as comparison. Defend along partisan lines if you feel the need to do so, but do not bring your half-baked illiteracy to my mentions. I’d tell you to use your real face, but honestly, I’d also be embarrassed to publicly defend a ₦21 million untaxed allowance while the country is fighting for a ₦70k minimum wage. And lastly, do not quote me with such fallacious nonsense again. You're not smart. You're not intelligent. You're completely unimportant and this is the most attention you'll get from me.
