#1 – Highest Paid Legislators: The Economist magazine revealed that Nigerian federal legislators are the highest paid in the world with an annual basic salary of $189,500 (N30.6 m). With the current state and direction of both the government and the people of Nigeria— Africa’s largest nation and the world’s most populated black country—the nation is not headed for improvement on these shameful rankings, but more predictably to slide further down the ladder into the darkest crevices of the black hole of Calcutta. The question is: To act or to give-up? And the follow-up question is: If we the people decide to do something, what should and can we do?

Well, any different from what we see on nairaland?

The most striking one is the legislators pay packet.That is pure authority stealing with total disregard to the people's feelings.

Even the british MPs who are relatively normal politicians do not have the guts to outrightly raise their pay packet to 74 thousand pounds per annum.They are pretending they don't like the idea of a raise,because they know the ordinary man will question fairness.MPs that are are some what useful to their constituents and their society in general.A far cry from nigerian hooligans called politicians who are just there purely for the loots.

The clergies and judiciary are in their payroll.
