AprokoNation, are we truly awake? While our people are being slaughtered and abducted, the very institutions meant to protect us are gorging themselves on our collective wealth. The news from Kwara is chilling: over 170 lives brutally cut short in Woro and Nuku for daring to refuse extremist ideology, some executed with their hands bound. In Katsina, Doma village saw at least 13-21 people murdered by bandits, breaking supposed 'peace deals' that are nothing but a sham. Kaduna is bleeding with another 51 abducted and 6 killed, including a priest. This is not mere insecurity; it is a systematic dismantling of our lives while a privileged few loot our treasury dry.
Let's be unequivocally clear: the National Assembly is not a legislative body; it is a criminal enterprise. These 469 individuals—109 Senators and 360 House of Representatives members—are actively robbing you, and your silence enables this economic sabotage. Consider this: each Senator pockets at least N21 million monthly in running costs, salaries, and allowances, while claiming a basic salary under N1 million. Annually, these 469 'representatives' cost Nigeria approximately N69 billion. Over a four-year tenure, the government spends billions on their allowances for accommodation, vehicles, furniture, and severance, a staggering sum that could transform our dying communities. This isn't just extravagant spending; this is direct theft, quantified and documented by their own public records and reports. Transparency International has repeatedly highlighted Nigeria's dismal corruption levels, with reports even claiming 50% of treasury looters occupy the National Assembly.
Your lack of outrage empowers them. We need to demand accountability, not beg for it. The pattern is clear: our 'leaders' enrich themselves while our security collapses. It's time to name and shame, to organize and confront this daylight robbery. Hold these individuals, starting with the leadership of this 'criminal enterprise', accountable: Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, and Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu. Their opulent lifestyles are funded by the blood and sweat of Nigerians dying daily. Demand public, itemized audits of every kobo spent on these 469 people. Identify your local representatives, scrutinize their allocations, and expose them in your communities. The time for polite discourse is over; the time for organized confrontation against this institutionalized theft is now. We must reclaim our nation from these plunderers.
