they don't even have what it takes to live up to that demand, it is simply because they are using allowances from the government not their own salary. They have car allowance, house allowance, food allowance, wardrobe allowance, etc. So it is not their money but our own.

How can we stop them?

There is power in opinion poll/survey. When they came up with the extortion idea of data charge increment, opinion poll on radio, newspapers, social media and everywhere forced the government to cancel the policy unannounced. Let us talk the talk. Talk your own mek I talk my own mek 9ja better.
