1.The American President has only
TWO aircraft, our president has
9[Nine] in his fleet and was voted
money recently to buy ONE more!
Making it TEN!
2.The British prime Minister has only
TWO official cars, our president has
23 in his pool and only recently voted
300Million Naira to buy TWO more
bullet/bomb proof ones!
3.Senators in the US earn about
$6,000 dollars monthly and that’s
about what a university professor, or
a director in a state department, or a
doctor with 20years experience, or a
teacher with 25years experience
earn too, but Here in Nigeria a
senator earns 245 million Naira per
annum! That’s the salary of 25 vice
chancellors, or 50 medical doctors, or
60 directors, or 500 school teachers!
4.The US, almost the size of Africa
with about 500million people have 24
ministers, and 32 government
parastatals and commissions, Nigeria
has a whooping 42 cabinet ministers,
and over 50[Fifty] government
parastatals!
5.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 government tells us we
consume about 35million litres of
petrol daily!
I sincerely weep for Nigeria!

Dare to be different. What a way to be distinctive.

I don't even know what to say about this country anymore.

And so what!!!

It is a lie, there is no way a US senator earns 6,000 a month, that is about 72,000 a year. You expect to earn shit like that when you've worked for 10 years, not 25. Do you know that there are some states in America were the average person earns almost 70,000 per year? Then you think a whole senator is earning those peanuts.

The current salary (2013) for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $174,000 per year.

which is still only 28 million Naira but I suspect you added allowances etc to the Nigeria one, still the difference will be extreme, I agree with you here.


The population of the United States is 320 Million not 500 Million, it is also less than twice that of Nigeria even if barely, though I concede your point here.

As for the rest, are you really surprised? In Nigeria government is about self glorification rather than public service.

While your points may be goood ones I suspect your information was largely made up by someone who had no idea what they were talking about.
