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)
Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator =
$2,183,685.00
Yearly Salary of Average Nigerian Worker =
$1,333.00
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker to 1,638
years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian
Senator.
What moral right does any political party have
to call themselves progressives (APC) or claim
to believe in social democratic ideology, when
their Senators, like their conservative
counterparts (PDP), earn N353,756,988.00
yearly, which is 1,638 times the annual average
salary of a Nigerian worker of N216, 000.00. If
they are true progressives, who believe in social
democracy, having the core values of FREEDOM,
EQUALITY, JUSTICE AND SOLIDARITY, who is
stopping them from pushing for a reduction in
out of tune salary earned by the Senators and
members of the House of Representatives? As I
have always said, the political class,
irrespective of party affiliations, are CORRUPT,
FRAUDULENT, GREEDY, SELFISH, AND WICKED.
This stand is further buttressed by such
earnings, when the vast majority of Nigerians
live below the poverty line.

At times, it is good to bring some facts to the lime light for the public to ruminate on it. It's not just happening now. It has been so since the inception of this demo-crazy. Who can speak for us? We do not have human right activist anymore in Nigeria. Since the demise of Gani Fawehyimi, real fighters for the citizens right are missing.
We need a revolution of the mind in the political class where they will tell themselves that they are indeed self serving and change to serve the people. However, I know one day, one day if they refuses to address these imblance especially on the Nigerian workers, they will regret keeping a deaf ear to the masses cry.

Our common wealth should be used for our common good. This and other areas of wastage need urgent attention and not IPPS where the finance ministry is centralising salary payment of all Nigerian workers which has lead to some workers not receiving their salary for upward of six (6) months running. Some have gone to Abuja from their states to lodge complains but no solution yet.

Which means that a Nigerian senator's yearly salary can take care of over 1,600 unemployed youths in this country for a year. God will not help us if we continue to sit down.

I wonder why this is not on front page. If we really care about the future of this country this is the time to call these so called senators to order.

now y'all can see how they make billions,and throw bones of ethnicity,religion on us to fight over

No wonder politicians are ready to kill or do anything just to get to such positions they are interested in the money. I don't know the work they do to earn such money they only make laws that affect the poor or masses but won't affect them.

This is crazy.

If Madness is the name of an association, then it should be associated with Nigeria Leaders....They are grossly Mad.



Fela....few people dey fat with big money and the rest they hungry..

cooljude: This is crazy.

crazily crazy

legitimate criminals
