chucky234: For a president who receives N1bn annually as food allowance he certainly has no excuse to why he cannot achieve anything meaningful in 24 months.
I am waiting for the deluded GEJ agents to prove the below wrong and tell me why the most expensive govt in the world should be applauded by mere maintenace projects which 50% was initiated by past administrations and mere generation of less than 1000MW of electricity in 24 months.
EARNING CHAT: In the United States, while the minimum wage is $1,257 (N191, 667), a US lawmaker earns $ 15,080 (N2.3m) per month. In the United Kingdom, a lawmaker earns $8,686(N1.3m) monthly while the gross national minimum wage is $ 1,883 (N283, 333) per month. Also, Nigerian lawmakers earn higher than their counterparts in Sweden. With a monthly pay of $7,707 (N1.2m), a lawmaker in Sweden will need to work for over 12 years to equal what a Nigerian senator earn per annum. The president of the United States takes home an anual salary of $400,000 (N64.156,0m), including a $50,000 expense allowance making the president the highest paid public servant in the US. The $400,000 includes everything and $350,000 out of it is taxable. Selected States (salary per annum) The prime minister of the United Kingdom......USD 226,627.00 French president.....................USD318,072.00 South African president...................USD296,112.00 German chancellor.......................USD296,112.00 The Prime Minister of Belgium...................USD174,804.00 President of the Republic of Korea.................USD 136,669.00 President of Russia......................USD122,652.00 Prime Minister Portugal......................USD129,730.00 Prime Minister Namibia....................USD115,155.00 President of Angola......................USD60,000.00 President Argentina.................USD55,139.00 Prime Minister Ukraine........................USD61,254.00 President Zimbabwe....................USD18,000.00 President of People's republic of China...........USD 10,633.00 President Liberia.........................US90,000.00 Prime Minister Spain .......................USD102,960.00 Prime Minister Namibia......................USD115,155.00 President Namibia.....................US164,506.00 President of Colombia ......................USD120,685.00 Prime Minister of the Netherlands.................USD190,740.00 Prime Minister Ireland..................USD264,000.00 Prime Minister Denmark...................USD264,533.00 President Mexico..................USD328,839.00 USD328,839.00 .....................USD427,886.00 President Austria..................USD422,231.00 President of the European Council................USD 508,916.00
NIGERIAN SENATORS Basic Salary (BS) = N2,484,245.50 Hardship Allowanc: 50% of Basic Salary = N1,242,122.75 Constituency allowance: 200% of BS = N4,968,509.00 Furniture Allowance: 300% of BS = N7,452,736.50 Newspaper allowance: 50% = N1,242,122.70 Wardrobe allowance: 25% = N621,061.37 Recess Allowance: 10% = N248,424.55 Accommodation: 200% = N4,968,509.00 Utilities: 30% = N828,081.83 Domestic Staff: 35% = N863,184.12 Entertainment: 30% = N828,081.83 Personal Assistance: 25% = N621,061.37 Vehicle Maintenance Allowance: 75% = N1,863,184.12 Leave Allowance : 10% =N248,424.55 One off payments (Severance gratuity): 300% = N7,452,736.50 Motor Vehicle Allowance: 400% of BS = N9,936,982.00 Total per month = N29, 479,749.00 A senator's anual salary = over N182 million multiply by 109 senators (don't forget the House of rep, ministers, ambassadors, ...) In addition to the regular and legitimate salaries and allowances of over N17 million ($113,333) and N14.99 million ($99,933) which senators and reps were collecting yearly and the irregular allowance of estacodes, duty tours etc, they were also collecting over N192m ($1.28m) and N140m ($0.93m) respectively in illicit quarterly allocation which is not provided for by RMAFC. Effectively, a Nigerian senator was taking home at least $1.40m ($ 1.28m quarterly allocations + $0.113m regular salaries and allowances) as against the $0.174m an American senator takes home hence a Nigeria senator earns at least 8 times as much as an American senator and more than 3 times the American president. Whereas a Senator in the U.S earns N21, 146,000, the same as a member of the House of Representatives; a UK Member of Parliament earn  £64,766 (N14, 896,180) In other words, a Federal Legislator in Nigeria is paid more than double what a Member of British Parliament earns per annum. Senate President David Mark alone takes N250 million quarterly or N83.33 million per month. Senate Deputy President Ike Ekweremadu gets N150 million per quarter or N50 million a month. Mark and Ekweremadu earns in 4 months, six times what the UK Prime Minister earns in a year. David Cameron goes ho me with  £190,000 per anum (N43,700,000) In a newspaper news article entitled ‘An Assembly for looting’ written by Musikilu Mojeed with Elor Nkereuwem, the authors rightly claimed that each of the 360 members of the House of Representatives were getting N35 million in cash money in quarterly allocation while each of the 109 Senators pockets N48 million each. These allocations have however been slashed by 20% to N27 million ($180,000) and N38 million ($253,333) respectively due to the 20% reduction requested by the late president.

it cud also be because at that age they are spoilt with choices of guys in different cities plus chairmen , unfortunately by the time they turn 26 all those guys will disappear and thats when their eyes actually open. 2 Likes |

If you have ever gone round Lagos, can you honestly claim that 2/3 of Lagos residential areas are slums? not even 1/10th of Lagos can be regarded as slum.
We can excuse that error because Rice has not gone round Lagos himself. am talking about Lagos Nigeria not Lagos Portugal. Lagos Nigeria is over 80 percent slum , over crowded and disorganised so I don't know what ur talking about but then its expected of most commercial cities |

Politics / Re: Lagos Is A Success Story by htajz: 12:19am On Jul 10, 2012 |
Tax collection, in a system that recalls tax farming in the New Testament or under Louis XIV, is apparently performed by a private company with links to Tinubu. The company retains 10 percent of all revenue collected over a certain threshold (at present, $43m per month).. So tinubu collects ten percent of the tax you all pay in lag , chair naija people don suffer. |

nolongtin: Moin moin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Moin moin
Origin Alternative name(s) Moyi-Moyi Place of origin Nigeria Details Type Pudding Main ingredient(s) Black-eyed beans, onions, fresh ground peppers This article is about an African dish. For the wiki software, see MoinMoin. For the greeting, see Moin.
This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (September 2011)
Cut Moin Moin
"Ewe eran" leaves (Thaumatococcus daniellii) Moinmoin or Moyi-Moyi is a Nigerian steamed bean pudding made from a mixture of washed and peeled black-eyed beans, onions and fresh ground peppers (usually a combination of bell peppers and chilli or scotch bonnet). It is a protein-rich food that is a staple in Nigeria. Some adaptations also put apples in MoinMoin. It originates from South-west Nigeria. Moin moin is prepared by first soaking the beans in cold water until they are soft enough to remove the fine outer covering or peel. Then they are ground or blended (using a blender) until a fine paste is achieved. Salt, bouillon cube, dried crayfish, vegetable oil (or any edible oil such as palm oil) and other seasonings are added to taste. Some add sardines, corned beef, sliced boiled eggs, or a combination of these and other 'garnishes' to liven up moin moin. Such is referred to as having 'x' number of lives, 'x' representing the number of garnishes added. The most touted is "moin moin elemi meje", which translates to moin moin with 7 lives. Moin moin usually comes in a slanted pyramid shape or a cylindrical shape, owing to the mold it is poured into prior to cooking. The pyramid shape comes from the traditional broad "ewe eran" (Thaumatococcus daniellii) or banana leaves fashioned into a cone in one's palm, then the seasoned and garnished liquid is poured into the leaves, which is then folded. The cylindrical shapes come from empty cans of tomato sauce used in preparation of other dishes. Once placed in its mold, it is placed in a large pot about a tenth filled with water. The water is the source of steam that cooks the moin moin. Moin moin is eaten alone or with bread as a snack, with rice as a meal or with ogi (corn or millet porridge) for breakfast or supper. it can also be taken with garri in the afternoon. [edit]See also this is theft, I hope u know that moi moi or bean pudding is not only eaten in Africa. Moi moi itself is not a Yoruba word besides how come its all over portharcpurt and bayelsayet I didn't see it inekiti during my one year service there . 3 Likes |

Anambra is only State you can see higher number of millionaires per square kilometre. Wealth is more evenly distributed in the State than elsewhere.
For the purposes of making my point clear, I can shout it from the rooftops that Anambra is relatively not poor. Anambra has more Bank branches than all the other South-East States or two geo-political zones in the North put together. What determines Bank branches is the amount of money available in given areas and not by landmass

“We believe that Tinubu is only fraternising with Buhari for his own personal political interests, adding that once Tinubu is aware that he cannot get anything out of the planned political alliance/merger between the CPC and the A CN, he (Tinubu ) will abandon Buhari,” a party leader was also quoted as saying, adding that he has been getting details of interactions between Buhari and Tinubu in recent times. very funny buhari will learn the hard way again ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |
