The figures below was not compiled by us but is quite instructive of where Nigeria is headed. Perhaps it could illicit questions from the masses. Kindly share this so that everyone will know and demand answers from those elected to SERVE. 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 Senator is 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 Allowance (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 PAY 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. Source: The Economist |

Achuwa1:I would rather celebrate the president without WASC but with much life accomplishment than a phd without who has nothing to show and is not even know by many of his family member. You know what, I guess your dad is highly literate, can you tell this house what life accomplishment he has and how popular he's in your village cos asking for his national popularity will be asking for too much. |

[size=18pt][b]Many guys are quoting me for this cos you are misunderstanding me... I aint talking about the past... now we are looking at the present future... Abraham Lincoln ruled in the past and the future we are looking at is technology and business driven... Things are evolving and I believe you should know that our rules should evolve with them as you all know you cant have stale rules in an evolving environment. It does not take morals alone... morals wont teach you how to run a country in a politicized or corrupt world please... Most people would agree that institutions giving honorary degrees to folks alike have seen good traits in them with respect of the discipline before giving it out and such are there in the world today and are making impacts in the respective seats... There is a general saying that out of everyone that passed through school, only a few percentage of them did schooling actually passed through... Did you guys see the prime minister of Canada trending on Monday as he fully explained quantum computing to a group of fund raisers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZBLSjF56S8 Guys, I believe we are young and would like you to reason with me... this country needs to move into greater heights and its not by depending on non-...

DEXTROVERT: Two hundred and something likes for advocating mass murder? Una dey vex o! Naija's problems are not solely from the upper house, it's the tolerant nature of our society as regards injustice and criminality. If u were related 2a senator, you'd probably have a different view. |
Re: Nigeria Learn: Senegal Gets Rid Of Its Senate To Save Money by nkemjacob2(m): 11:22am On Apr 20, 2016 |
There was the need for senegal to scrab their senate assembly cos it has no relevant to them @ dat momemt which they want to save $15m. Here in nigeria the red senate is more of economy liabilities than assets. U could imagine the applicants recorded over police $ navy recruitment that's madness failure in the aspect of the economy. We dont just need scrabbing the senates, but to change our constitution which is badly written for the country to move forward |

Re: Nigeria Learn: Senegal Gets Rid Of Its Senate To Save Money by Nobody: 11:58am On Apr 20, 2016 |
Achuwa1: Sorry o. When does educational certificates become the only criteria for posts such as that of the president? The constitution clarifies that issue. Were you not born when a PhD holder, PMB's predecessor, manage the country as clueless and with less discipline as expected from a toddler. Make a constructive criticism. Time has proven it again and again that this formal learning called EDUCATION doesn't meet life's requirements in any way. Leaders are not made in schools but outside it |
