"IT'S NO MORE ABOUT SUBSIDY ALONE


# # The American President has only 2
aircraft, our president has 9 in his fleet and
voted money recently to buy 1 more!
# # The British prime Minister has only 2
official cars, our president has 23 in his pool
and only recently voted 300m naira to buy 2
more bullet/bomb proof ones!
# # Senators in the US earn about $6,000
dollars monthly and dats about what a
university professor, or a director in a state
dept, or a doctor wt 20yrs experience, or a
teacher wt 25yrs experience earn too, but in
Nigeria a senator earns 245million Naira per
annum! Dats d salary of 25 vice chancellors, or
50 medical doctors, or 60 directors, or 500
schl teachers!
# # The US, almost d size of Africa with about
500million people have 24 ministers, and 32
govt parastatals and commisions, Nigeria has
42 cabinet ministers, and over 50
government parastatals!
# # America with about 500million people
and more mileage to drive consumes
39million litres of petrol daily, Nigeria with
150million people 60% out of which live in
remote areas, yet our govt tells us we
consume about 35million ltrs of petrol daily!
IS SUBSIDY REALLY THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA?
And a last one!!! President Jonathan last
bought fuel with his own money in 1996
shortly before coming on board the NDDC! So
also is a whole lot of them in government!
It is time to re-think and re-define. We have to
remove money from politics. Political office
holders should earn what civil servants earn.
That's what they are: CIVIL SERVANTS!" - Tobe Akiode S. A
