Nigeria's Overpaid Legislators by Chykman22(m): 9:18pm On May 08, 2015 |
NIGERIA'S OVERPAID LEGISLATORS PLEASE, READ: THIS IS WHY EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO ABUJA. If you don't understand why those who are in Abuja don't want to return and those who want to go are doing so at all cost, look at this information SPECIAL REPORT ON: SALARY OF NIGERIAN SENATORS. After reading through this Special Report, any shred of doubt in the reader's mind that Nigeria is doomed and heading for a headlong, downward plummeting will simply dissipate. The details of the remuneration of an average Nigerian SENATORS ARE detailed below: * Basic Salary (B.S) - N2,484,245.50 * Hardship Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70 * Constituency Allowance (200% of B.S) N4,968,509.00 * Newspapers Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70 * Wardrobe Alawance (25% of B.S) - N621,061.37 * Recess Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55 * Accommodation (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00 * Utilities (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83 * Domestic Staff (70% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12 * Entertainment (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83 * Personal Assistants (25% of B.S) - N621,061.12 * Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (75% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12 * Leave Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55 * Severance Gratuity (300% of B.S) - N7,452,736.50 * Car Allowance (400% of B.S) - N9,936,982.00 * TOTAL MONTHLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 ($181,974.00) * TOTAL YEARLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 x 12 = N353,756,988.00 ($2,183,685.00) * EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162 LEGISLATORS SALARY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM * Britain - $105,400.00 * United States - $174,000.00 * France - $85,900.00 * South Africa - $104,000.00 * Kenya - $74,500.00 * Saudi Arabia - $64,000.00 * Brazil - $157,600.00 * Ghana - $46,500.00 * Indonesia - $65,800.00 * Thailand - $43,800.00 * India - $11,200.00 * Italy - $182,000.00 * Bangladesh - $4,000.00 * Israel - $114,800.00 * Hong Kong - $130,700.00 * Japan - $149,700.00 * Singapore - $154,000.00 * Canada - $154 000.00 * New Zealand - $112,500.00 * Germany - $119,500.00 * Ireland - $120,400.00 * Pakistan - $3,500.00 * Malaysia - $25,300.00 * Sweden - $99 300.00 * Sri Lanka - $5,100.00 * Spain - $43,900.00 * Norway - $138,000.00 In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country’s GDP per person, that of a British member of parliament is just 2.7 times. The average salary of Nigerian worker based on the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 = N216,000.00 ($1,333.00) Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator = $2,183,685.00. Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638 It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638 years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian Senator.

We downplay the role of socio media in time past but lessons have been learnt from last Presidential election which went a long way to shapen the elections. If a massive campaign is led against the cost of governance both in media houses and on social media instead of bringing up tribal issues everyday, the government will feel the pulse of Nigerians on this. 1 Like |

Chykman22: Truth is when you share these things, some set will come out to say; they are witch hunting us. They should leave our politicians alone. Too bad corruption was institutionalised by tribalism. Know this, there is no Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba; it is the elites and cabals against the poor. |

Re: Nigeria's Overpaid Legislators by ifyan(m): 11:54pm On May 08, 2015 |
It ridiculous but let's take time to observe something, because I don't think what we post on other countries is the complete figures can somebody make a research on this. Because I read something about USA senators take home more than the figure been displayed. And go and find out about KENYA senators, you will be shocked. Though our senators are big time criminals. You know. ...... |
