He, however, said female serving corps members should have gotten a higher allowance because they suffer more during their service years.
The former federal lawmaker stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @ShehuSani, on Thursday, September 26.
Sani wrote:
“The increase in the allowance of the Youth Corpers to 77k is commendable. But those of the Female Corpers should have been jerked up to 100k since they suffer more.”

@AGINAS
Female copper wey dey still join male coppers dey squander their own while they save theirs? That's why my boss pays men more than ladies and his reason is that ladies will still be collecting money for food from their male colleagues. NJ

@samoblah
Mr Senitor please can you explain more to us the gullible one.
@KinebiM
Corpers spend far more than the 77k for camp before. Who knows how much they will spend now to get kits

@UcO99068626
Does it mean that youth corpers are more important than workers ,or is it compensation for helping to rig elections? How will workers be earning N70k and corper will be earning N77k? I am only asking questions, make it make sense 🤔
