It was News to me! It was too complex for me to understand that Nigerian senators are in any form of hardship, and therefore need to take home maximum wage...

​

I heard that in the news in 2014. I stopped watching the News after that.

 

Senators' Bags for Hardship Allowance... was developed using plastic material from many used pieces of the popular Ghana-Must-Go bags.

​

At the time, around 2016, I listened to the public reading of the country's budget where there was an allocation (allowance)designated to senators for 'hardship'. 

​

I dwelt on this matter for quite a while, thinking about what kind of hardship a Nigerian Senator might have in comparison to the reality of the rest of the citizens. I still have not figured this out. I know, however, that we often think of them as people that move the allowances anyway - in large portions-, wether allocated to them officially or not.

​

While this happens, we the citizens remain in hardship. Who is there to save us?!
