And then we have 'discretionary' bonuses

When we were bought over, the new owners dropped 1m usd as buyover bonus. Our fking exec mgt shared the money among themselves and their crew. One entry level, contract chick who was knacking our oga at the top got 5m. After a lot of hullabaloo, they gave everyone else one month extra salary.

Tomorrow that chick too will say she received a performance bonus on her cv.

Though these are naija stories. But Las Las, they also happen in obodo oyibo.

I have seen people go on mission for over 4 - 5 months and when they return, they start building...The money is like blood money...Imagine going to a location where the DSA is 60k daily and you spend 4 moths there...Most folks will argue otherwise but I encourage them to ask their friends in UN organizations and other international partners...People make mad money in this same Naija and legally too...

The only industry in the world (off the tip of my brain) where women earn more than men, are recognized more than men, and get named before men is the adult entertainment industry.

Even in Yankee, you read about how a-list actresses are offered less than their male counterparts for similar roles

There is a reason all these up and coming starlets are shaking booty in IG. They have been shown the way.

Anyways what do I know?

Nothing

If you actually read your example with Tinubu's story, you'll know you are comparing apples and oranges.

But its okay...I still understand whatever point you are trying to make

Those old actors no too touch money like that oh.

Like BlueRayDick said, the smart ones stepped up and did something useful as their reign was drawing near.

As for our actresses, i never still understand the soap wey dem dey take baff.

They are highly favoured, compared to their male counterparts

Itsrm:


The female celebrities say they get more endorsements and make more money because they have more things to sell like hair, bags, make up kits, body enhancement products e.t.c while for guys there's really nothing to sell.

We all know it's lamba sha. Na so Nengi dey rub range rover in people's faces saying its hardwork only for EFCC to sieze it when the man who bought it for her was being investigated for duping people in a ponzi scheme.

patrickmuf:
There was a caveat at the end of my post.

I am not defending Tinubu however, I want to put it out that it's possible for one to earn way above their stipulated salaries. It's even crazier when you do tye analogy with the monthly take home of their drivers. In most international organizations where there's enough travels, Drivers rake in more through DSA compared to their net income.

Nobody said people dont earn crazy bonuses. We are just telling that considering his job role, employer, and time, that is an Oluwole fact.

Let me show you why i said your examples of crazy bonus cant fit with that of BAT

1) You are converting your bonus in naira

Let's peg the dollar at #600

So your friend earns 600k = [$1000 per month]
Daily bonus of 38k = [$63 per day]
Multiply it by 365 days = [$22,995 per year]

So your friend earns $12k + 22k bonus in a year. How is this crazy compared to $20k and $850k a year?

2) Your friend works with a mission. They have to send him out of his station, pay for his allowances, feeding, travelling, and other parts of his welfare

BAT was working for an accounting firm [9 to 5 job], was not a junior partner, and made 850k in bonuses. You can refer to Ibime post and see where he said in 2022, it takes grace for a junior partner to chop 500k bonus sef. But BAT was hitting 850k in 1980

There's nothing crazy about your friends bonus if you stick to dollars that we have been using.

patrickmuf:
I drop a comment for those who think it's absurd for someone to earn more from other sources other than the expected net income. If you're well informed then fine but don't try to drag me into a non-existent back and forth with you after all, I clearly stated the intent of my post...

If you do the maths for Drivers, you'll be more shocked. I am sure they're quite of lot of folks out there who will be surprised seeing a driver building houses worth millions of naira when his monthly take home is 300k or thereabout...

You post was going to give the BATifieds some kind of comeback, which i just had to nip in the bud.

No vex if you feel dragged

Everybody knows there are crazy bonuses.

And for the record, 98.245% of drivers cut corners, steal and short-change their employers. You can verify that too, because i have been there.

So, i can never be surprised if a truck driver earning 80k has built a 10 million naira property.

patrickmuf:
I am talking about money made legally. For instance, if a driver goes on a mission with the Country rep, they get paid the same amount as DSA...If a driver us out for 3 months, he returns will millions made legally.

I never knew it was possible until I got to the level I am now so, it's fallacious for you to conclude that everyone knows what's up...

that is why they all hide the vehicle license plate

They have all learnt from apostle solo the Hot's travails with Ms otobo, where some enterprising sleuths looked up the cars number plate on I think it was frsc's website and spooled out the actual owner details. next thing the car vanished from the database

I made a friend that is a tanker driver.

In his first two years of driving, he bought a plot of land and built a bungalow. All paid for, with no loan

I don't think a branch manager can do that within that short period

The easiest way to escape public scrutiny from Nigerians when you show off unexplainable wealth is adding "grace" to whatever caption you use. If you quote a Bible verse, it's sealed - no questions asked.

This set of women have seen the beauty of money, especially when you don't have to sweat like a bricklayer to get it. It's the very reason they do what they do. What amazes me is many of them aren't even Ashamed anymore, they don't even mind banging the devil if that's what it takes to get the bag flowing constant.
