In government at least in Nigeria, salary dont count. It is the wasteful spending of government that is the major problem, who sponsors the luxurious life style of the politician. Abi who paid the hopital bill and the aircraft parking of the half salary taking pmb in the U.k?

A salary of 1.75million naira for an unhealthy, brainless Fulani herdsmen's grand patron as president is actually a waste and undeserved.

So, cutting it into half is nothing worth commending.


What is even salary compared to the billions those in government steal on a daily basis?

Every politician in public office today never struggled to be there because of the salary. They are all there because of the loots!


Osinbajo abeg tell us something else, this is not inspiring at all.

Hate won't help you in any way.

Take it or leave, this is the most frugal, disciplined and focused administration Nigeria has had.

"Now, how much is this salary by the way? It is public knowledge and I think it is N1,750,000.00 or so, which is under N2 million"


When you see a leader using words like "or so", thats when you realise that since independene, our country has remained in the hands of clueless failed politicians!!! So disappointing the rubbish we keep swallowing from these people. It goes without saying that Nigeria will never prosper until we elect leaders who know their position and roles very well, and do not resort to using vague words like "or so" and "I think". This is just UNACCEPTABLE

The Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo yesterday, said the decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to take only half of his salary was what made him (the Vice-President) to do same.

Prof. Osinbajo said this at the public presentation of a book, “Making Steady, Sustainable Progress for Nigeria’s Peace and Prosperity” at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

In his words;

“Some things have not been included in the book and I might just supply some of that. One of such things is the exemplary frugality, the honesty and humility, and sense of humour of Mr President. “That frugality can sometimes be a problem. As you know, Mr President decided that since government provides accommodation, food and transportation for the President and the Vice-President, we didn’t need a full salary.

“Now, how much is this salary by the way? It is public knowledge and I think it is N1,750,000.00 or so, which is under N2 million. He said he would take only half of his salary and so I had no choice but also to take half of my own salary. “Unfortunately, Mr President turned down my request, to give the other half to a worthy cause – his Vice-President. He didn’t consider me a more worthy cause to give half of his salary!

“In a country where politicians sometimes want to be as wealthy as Dangote, it is refreshing to have a President who most people won’t even dare to discuss any private benefit on a project with let alone a bribe or a kick-back.”

While describing corruption as Nigeria’s major problem, he added that the menace was the main reason for the depletion of the nation’s resources, such that the country had no savings when oil prices fell.

Osinbajo said it was the prudence and honesty of the President that ensured that despite the economic downturn, the Federal Government was able to support the states, spend N1.3 trillion on capital expenditure, the largest in the history of the nation, and also ensure it met all our other obligations, both foreign and local.

Continuing, Osinbajo said;

“Mr. President’s unassuming personality and humility, is in my view, probably his greatest strength. This is why he is never flattered, or carried away by praise or adulation.

“He has always said ‘I don’t pretend to know all the answers. I am here to provide stability and leadership, to a generation, a group of people, determined to run this country honestly, to provide jobs and prosperity to the poor, and our huge youth population.’

“I remember when he was on medical vacation, and I was speaking to him on the phone fairly regularly and giving him a rundown of what was going on, especially when he was on the first medical vacation. He said to me, ‘don’t worry about telling me all that is happening, I rely on your judgment keep doing your best, what if I drop dead?! You would have to run it anyway.’

“I had to say to him, that his dropping dead was not part of the plan.”
Osinbajo said the ultimate benefit of public service was the ability to touch millions of lives for good or for ill, by governmental policies and actions.

“The greatest challenge is how to take the tough decisions, do the difficult things, and keep the people’s support. “I suppose you cannot be a Buhari and shy away from tough decisions, and the President has not been afraid to take the bold decisions even when they are criticised. “What has happened so far under this government is the tough business of laying strong foundations. The first, is honesty and good governance, and prudence in government spending.

“The second is in ensuring that we have an infrastructure that can sustain our economy, not now, but in the next decades. For the first time, in at least a decade, we are spending 30% on capital expenditure,”.
