Nigerian Politicians are the highest paid in the world - A classic case of Black Mans Inhumanity to Fellow Black Man

Nigerian Politicians are the highest paid in the world. This is a classic case of Black Mans inhumanity to fellow black man. Why?
In a country where many workers including teachers and nurses are paid N18,000 monthly ($72 a month or $864 a year) which is the minimum wage per month and the government sometimes owes them for months and years and some pensioners have not been paid for many years it is absurb that that same country can afford to pay astronomical amounts to politicians.

An American Governor earns $16,000 a month or $192,000 a year. A Nigerian Governor earns N18 milion a month ($72,000 a month or $864,000 a year).

An American senator earns $14,500 a month or $174,000 a year. But a Nigerian senator earns monthly income of N13.5 million per month ($54,000 per month or $648,000 per year) as running cost per month and earns a salary of N750,000 per month ($3,000 per month or $36,000 per year) and then is allowed to spend N200 milion yearly ($800,000 a year) for constituency project. After all this they are paid car allowance, furniture allowance, medical allowance, housing allowance, entertainment allowance, sitting allowance etc. After all this government money is then used to build houses for them, buy fleets of cars for them etc. The inordinate greed of the senators is still not satisfied after the senators have collected all this money. They collect bribes from corrupt civil servants to approve inflated budgets and contracts. They establish companies to steal fuel subsidy and fertilizer subsidy, and steal student scholarship funds and steal drugs purchased for government hospitals. They collude with corrupt lawyers and judges to make laws that allow thieving politicians and civil servants to escape prosecution with their loot. They create legal holes or lacunars in the law that allow politicians to steal with impunity and escape from justice. They form companies and collude with foreigners to defraud the nation of billions of dollars. Nigerians have the most corrupt politicians in the history of party politics. They are like parasites sucking out the life blood from the countries veins. Nigeria has different categories of thieving politicians. they occupy different niches in the countries social structure. Some are subsidy thieves who specialise in stealing fuel subsidy and fertilizer subsidy. Some are inflator thieves who collude with civil servants to inflate and overpad the budget and contracts of governmental agencies stealing billions of dollars in the process. Some are salary and pension thieves that rob workers of their wages and salaries and pensions and use ghost workers to steal billions of dollars. Some are scammers that use banks to transfer huge government funds running into billions of naira into private pockets were it will never be found. Some are Dupers that advertise non-existing jobs to eager job seekers all over the country through the mass media and force millions of poor job seekers to pay large sums of money into their private account for jobs they will never get. Some are Drug Merchants who use priviledged positions such as ambassadors and consuls to transfer large amounts of hard drugs across the globe. Some Nigerian politicians are almost richer than their country. Most of the wealth coming from stolen or embezzled public fund. Some Nigerian politicians are so above the law they are beyond the law. Nigerians have politicians that are so fat they begin to fart when they walk. A gathering of Nigerian politicians looks like a gathering of the fatest men in the world for a competition to choose the fatest fat man. Some Nigerian politicians live and spend most of their time in expensive hotels abroad and onlly return home when elections are near. Some Nigerian politicians are moving around in fleets of exotic cars and private jets while the common people that voted them into office are trekking from cape to cairo through the sahara desert and swimming through the atlantic ocean to get into europe and beg for food. Some Nigerian politicians are so rich they are building hundreds of palaces and hotels for themselves and buying private islands for themselves across the globe while majority of the poor people who voted them into office are becoming homeless and landless their houses demolished and their lands seized to build super structures for the super rich. Many poor homeless people are now living on the street, under the bridge and inside caves. Some Nigerian politicians are dinning and winning around the globe and throwing expensive parties here and there when the common people that voted them into office are dying of hunger and eating earthworms. Some Nigerian politicians are marrying multiple wives and creating a harem and bedding teenage girls as well. Some have three wives, some five wives, others have as many as ten or more wives while many tens of millions of young men above the age of thirty are unable to find jobs with a good pay that will enable them to get married and settle them to family life. The unemployment rate in Nigeria is so high that it is a ticking time bomb. Anytime from now there might be an explosion of violence.
