PLEASE, READ: THIS IS WHY EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO ABUJA.

If you don't understand why those who are in Abuja don't want to return and those who want to go are doing so at all cost, look at this information.

* EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162

LEGISLATORS PAY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM

* France - $85,900.00
* South Africa - $104,000.00
* Kenya - $74,500.00

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.

Legislators, both at d state & federal level are d problem of dis country. They only legislate into their pocket. Lets unite, mobilize & move against them begining with those thieves at the National Assembly. Pls read & send to all ur contact

Jesus Wept!!





Abeg I for like do PA job ooooooo


Choi!

May God bless you Op

Please MODS... To the promised land... Straight...

Very soon they will have nairaland allowance.

Greedy senators. Who even approved this salary for them in the first place? This is part of the major problem Nigeria is facing and that's why these Senators kill themselves to get to that seat.

I hope President-Elect can do the needful sha

Seriously, if buhari can cut down on this I will know he means business.
However, I am really anxious for that 1$-1N matter. I want to experience the magic big time.

So no guns allownc.

No wonder they kill'ed' themselves.Bunch of thieves

mtcheww

@op, what is your source?

If there is a source to back it up, this should be made known to the entire world cos this is crime against humanity.

Jeeezus!
No wonder err'body ready to die either to stay or enter there...

Entertainment allowance? Are u kidding me? Bunch of thieves.

And they will be fighting against increasing corpers allowances or creating jobs for youths as if the money is theirs. SMH

Do they offer internet allowance cost then I might just contest.

But seriously, the international community will be laughing at us the way you laugh at a boy flaunting money in school but who asks for assistance in exams. Why would they want to help us when our lawmakers earn 10 to 15 times their lawmakers' salary. To them it's like we will never learn so why waste precious resources on fools. Smh

it is well

Lol naija

Your list I believe is not far from the truth.
@chocolateme do you truly want a change

If yes what we want is a revolution in Nigeria. The one that will see youth taking over the government. A one million march to Abuja can do this...just as we have seen in some countries lately.

Are you ready?

Wait a minute, so u want buhari to tell the senate and house of rep members to pass a law that wud cut their salaries? This Is not a military dictatorship.

So u mean these legislators wud just agree to what reduce there salaries jus becuz of buhari. Jus like that? Come on men!


Some of these men killed to get there. Some stole massivesly, other stole to get there. So I don't see them taking any action that wud make them lose that juicy position

Buhari is not a magician. Thoses thieving politicians nor send u. Only time wud begin out their true color

Buhari got elected on an anti-corruption platform. It will be interesting to see how he will fight corruption. I don't think a lot Nigerians realise that fighting corruption,particularly in a country like Nigeria where it entrenched, is a life and death issue. When you fight corruption,it fights back. A lot of people are where they are in life because of corruption and they are not prepared to back to porverty no matter what Buhari does. To fight corruption,Buhari will need to throw most of the APC and PDP leadership in jail and this is like fighting your own shadow. We wait to to see what Buhari does. Fighting corruption is not drinking fura de nunu.

This case is almost a hopeless one.

Nigerians will never like or share this kind post lai lai...
Because we no wan die, We wan build house,We wan live big,Mama and Papa dey for house....Na so we dey suffer since 1999,
At times when i watch the struggles of citizens of some countries on Intl channels i just feel is it dat the politicians dey use juju on us...


Few people dey fat with the money and the rest dey hungry....Fela

WTH? I think making political offices less juicy will really go a long way in curbing corruption and what have you. What the hell is 'hardship allowance'? Even newspaper allowance sef, how often do these folks buy newspapers when Infact, they make the news. Why can't they use their outrageous salary to do that. Now I know why people kill themselves for such.

holy moses

Let's jst b patient change is on corner

Osanobua

we can start it 1-2-3-4-5...! people. Most time it has always been something that even one person started.

The masses needs someone or some people to stir or push them.

Yes! what do you think?

This is y politics is a do or die affair in Nigeria

This is d first thing I expect buhari to do ie cut down d salary of political office holders by 80 percent n the office will become less financially attractive. A salary of 2m per month to include all allowances shld b a good start

Furthermore having a bicarmel national assembly is a big waste. D house of reps shld b closed n only senators allowed to make laws

*sigh* If Jesus wept, who I'm I not to weep? *crying*

Yes ooo... we changed dis govt wiv our mobile phones tru enlightenment, we can change thier salary too...


They should be paid like civil servants... #nomorejumbopay

Atleast gettin GEJ & PDP out was d very 1st right step.
Ppl who had wanted GEJ to continue, shey una see una life now?

If this continue then there can be no change
A senate in Nigeria can pay 50% of Nigeria salary.
No wonder high blood pressure and diabetes won't spare them....
God will judge them...
What??

Unconfirmed?. I reserve my comment den
