contitutency projects allowance for each Nigerian senators hovers around the wicked figure

contitutency projects  allowance for each Nigerian senators hovers around the wicked figure of 300million yearly;
 Though the figures changes  unannounced. 

These funds are for the development of the senatorial districts across the states of the federation but this case for the south East senatorial zones,
The house of representatives has 360members: 190 from APC and 151 from PDP and 19 other parties. 
A good balance for opposition politic, but that is not my focus today. 
We will come to them another day
Now in the 5 states of igbo land ,there are 15 senators, amongst them are former  Governors/deputy governors former ministers and retired members of the armed forces.

My calculator tells me that the sum would be N18billion in the hands of south east senators every 4 years from 1990 to date , this  4years termly project allowance was not used up one single industry in the igbo land .
But let me sum it up with the existing facts that this senators and representatives couldn't come together to discuss the place of Igbo people in the larger Nigeria , in other words , they couldn't come together to restart the industrialisation of Aba, Nnewi and onitsha and set up industries in Ebonyi and Enugu states.
Instead , it is  as if the only meeting they had was for for each of them to start building hotels in Owerri, imo state,   Lagos and Abuja.
The only industry they empowered is erotic  and Romance service industry, 
Some use part of their own to buy wheel Barrow  shovels and motorcycles for their youths .
Even these are not for free .The recipients of those  motorcycles will eventually be used as political thugs  to steal ballot boxes and disrupt voting when the time comes 
To us all,seems our devotion to  religion ! Not to our environment, not to our politics and not even to our lands 
Everywhere problems! Every where confusion 
We rise
