NIGERIAN SENATORS RECEIVES 13.5 MILLION NAIRA MONTHLY, APART FROM THEIR SALARY.

DO YOU KNOW THE HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY A NIGERIAN SENATOR GETS EVERY MONTH

The Nigerian Senate house stated that each an every member of the

 Chamber is receiving the amount of more than 13.5 million Naira as

''Running cost'' every month. 

 According to one of the senate member, he said ''apart from this amount of money,

each member is receiving N700,000 monthly salary apart from other

Allowances.

This confession from Senator Shehu Sani  was also confirmed by his

fellow senate member Senator Sahabi Ya'u who's the spokesperson of the

of the senate.

''The senator did not reveal any new information regarding the salary 

and other allowances becuase  these information is included in the budget

of the Federal House of Assembly, which everyone knows of'' says Senator Ya'u

The statement came as a result of the criticism from ​​Nigerians who

Criticized the members for receiving such a mantle amount and

 yet they do nothing to the citizens they are representing.

In the past The members of the house of assembly were asked of the

amount they do receive as their salaries but they refused to reveal the

amount

This is happening when some large amount of Nigerians are suffering from

extreme poverty as a consequence of the increase of commodities and the cost of living.

NIGERIAN AMBASSADOR TO TURKEY STOPS HRH SANUSI LAMIDO FROM VISITING NIGERIAN STUDENTS IN N.CYPRUS

                                   HRH Muhammad Sanusi II        Amb Ilyasu Paragalda

NIGERIAN AMBASSADOR TO TURKEY PREVENTS HRH SANUSI LAMIDO FROM VISITING NIGERIAN STUDENTS IN N.CYPRUS

The Nigerian Ambassador to Turkey, Amb. Ilyasu Audu Paragalda stops His Royal Highness The Emir Of Kano Muhammad Sanusi II, (the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria) from coming to the Island due to some reasons that he stated as diplomatic reasons. Nigerian students in Northern Cyprus aired their complaints and disappointment over the recent catastrophe caused by the ambassador, earlier this morning we received the full details about the incident from Nigerians studying in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

An annual academic event tagged ’Career week’, which is to be held at Eastern Mediterranean University in Northern Cyprus from the 12th to the 15th of March is being organized and the Emir of Kano, HRH Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, accepted our invitation to grace the career week event, which is strictly for academic purpose, as well as to address international students which includes Nigerians. Several weeks and months of vigorous planning had been made towards this great event, and numerous resources were spent, but unexpectedly, the Ambassador of Nigeria to Turkey, Ilyasu Audu Paragalda, insisted that the Emir should not come to Northern Cyprus because Northern Cyprus is a non-recognized country; with claims that Northern Cyprus is not a safe place. Due to obnoxious “diplomatic” reasons. The Emir will not be able to make it as planned. The Emir was coming to Northern Cyprus for academic reasons, and we cannot seem to find any legal justification or provisions for the cancellation of his visit.

And just some weeks back The Ambassador of Turkey Accompanied Minister Of Justice to the same place they denied the emir an entrance, not only this there are some of the top govermnet officials that visited N.cyprus among them are The Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service,  and recently last week some senate and house of reps members were here on the island.

So Our questions as Nigerians living in Northern Cyprus here are: 

Why is the Ambassador preventing the Emir from visiting when the ambassador himself has kids studying in North Cyprus under a scholarship scheme granted by the university? Also, why is the Nigerian Embassy in Ankara collecting very huge amount of money from each and every graduating student from North Cyprus universities just to get a signature on their certificates? Why are they collecting lots of scholarship slots from all the universities here, and sharing those slots within themselves and their staff each and every semester? Why are they charging outrageous amounts for International passport renewal when they come to renew passports of Nigerian Students here in Northern Cyprus?

We need the ambassador to answer all these questions on why he is trying to create a barrier between Nigerians and their leaders. Does that mean he is trying to repudiate the people whom he has been assigned to represent?

Cyprus reunification Talks enter 'FINAL STAGES''

Turkish and Greek Cypriot officials say first direct negotiations since 1974 are ‘best and last chance’ for resolution

A historic effort to end the division of Cyprus has begun in earnest as Greek and Turkish community leaders resumed reunification talks before a high stakes multilateral conference, the first since the island’s partition 43 years ago.

After 18 months of intensive negotiations to settle inter-ethnic divisions, Nicos Anastasiades and Mustafa Akıncı will attempt to finesse the details of a peace deal in Geneva this week by poring over maps and discussing territorial trade-offs before tackling the potentially explosive issue of security.

Asked if he was optimistic as he arrived at the UN’s European headquarters on Monday morning, Anastasiades, the Greek Cypriot leader, said: “Ask me when we are finished.”

For an island the finer skills of peacemakers has long eluded, the talks are seen as a defining moment in the arduous process of resolving what has long been regarded as the Rubik’s cube of diplomacy.

On Sunday, the new UN secretary general, António Guterres, described the talks as a historic opportunity. In Nicosia officials on both sides of the buffer zonespoke of “the best and last chance” for a settlement. Other experts described the talks as the endgame.

“This is the final phase of the final phase,” said Hubert Faustmann, a professor of history and political science at the University of Nicosia. “It will be the first time since 1974 that Turkey and the Greek Cypriots will hold direct talks at the negotiating table.”

A week of fierce horse-trading lies ahead before Greece, Turkey and former colonial power Britain – the island’s three guarantors under its post-independence constitution – convene on 12 January to address the issues of troop presence and security in an envisioned federation. Both are seen as crucial to ensuring 1974 is never repeated.

“It is a classical final stage of negotiation,” said Faustmann. “Issues that neither side could agree on and have been kept pending will now be interlinked.”

The commitment to a settlement shown by Anastasiades and Akıncı has helped to raise hopes. The two men have shown a rare moderation, with some tracing their desire for a solution to their shared heritage as sons of the southern city of Limassol. Like Akıncı, Anastasiades – who heads Cyprus’s internationally recognised south – has memories of coexistence and believes time will only work against reunification.

At a time of unprecedented uncertainty in Europe and growing global volatility, the need for a good news story has also added impetus. From Washington to Ankara there is recognition that a deal would bring stability to the wider region. The prospect of Greeks and Turks, Christians and Muslims cooperating in the continent’s eastern corner would, say officials, send a powerful message and be a beacon of hope.
