ENOUGH IS ENOUGH



Salary U.S. President: $250,000/yr.
GDP U.S. Economy: $13Trillion/ yr.

Allowance Nig. Senator: $1,500,000/yr
GDP Nig. Economy: $45 Billion/yr.

And they want more. Doctors, teachers, civil servants can't boast of N1m a year and these guys want N30m every month

That's Nigeria for you.

[size=14pt]Recess Allowance@ 10%: - N248,424.55 - What the fXCK is the diffrence b/w this and leave allowance just any excuse to bump the Allowance largesse.


Leave Allowance @10% - N248,424.55- One would have thought since they are on leave some of the other allowances will stop OR better still reduce but NO!! [/size]

Nigerians are the highest paid politicians in the world, but look at the shambles the country is in.

What do we pay these people for? To sit on the arse?

I weep for Naija. We need a bloody revolution like the French Revolution.

I weep for my dear country.

it is the comparism between the US president and The suckers that baffles me.

so sad

Its even more painful when u realize that the combined mental bandwith of all the honorable senators is less than half that of a US senate member.

Imagine-"hardship allowance" how unimaginative can you get to cover your thieving track. A pry school pupil will be able to think up sth better that truly makes sense.

After paying these criminals heavly with public funds. We don't see a thing to show for spending so hugely. Theiving i.diots  

the newspaper allowance part is ridiculous. as if these people read anything including the bills they sign

what about injury allowance? i suggest 200% of #29,000,000.00

didn't they know that they will quarrel and exchange blows?  lol

i think it was  high time for the revolution, seriously.

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN WHINING OVER THE PROFLIGACY OF THE KLEPTOCRACY IN NIGERIA.
LET US OVERTHROW THEM.
NO TOO MUCH TALK.

are we starting a coup?
who go front?

ahahahahh you see gbege?

And i need a job that pays a meager N250,000.00. What is this country turning to, seriously? Seems to me that those who talk, just sit on their ars.es and do nothing! I mean, are we getting any better! Be like say i go soon join politics. 2 yrs don do me, after that, i go begin dey do business!Corruption every freakin' where!

hey guys,   is this  4 real  pls?  cause i feel like ,  

Allawee jamboree, abeg make me too join politics if this has become the norm.

king-child:

are we starting a coup?
who go front?

ahahahahh you see gbege?

This one don pass shéré shéré. I'm seconding you.

u forgot something buddy.
The amount of money they steal from the people. l
Let me take a wild guess, N20,000,000.00 each weekly.

What do you expect when thieves are in power. A Nation that has been ruled and governed by illiterates until Yaradua came in. Until the Labour take charge by going on Nation wide strike, we will continue to suffer. Thousand of graduates are jobless instead of the other way round. Jobs should be waiting for them.

Greed and exploitation is the national anthem.

@poster,
Nigeria makes $173,428 billion per year not $45 million as you posted, which still makes it

I can't see fighting allowance up in there.Why

ds is sad, very sad

Me too i want become Nigeria politician so that i don't have o worry for my future.

This is what we get for allowing ourselves to be deceived by the west that "the worst civilian government is better than the best military government". Can you really compare Nigeria to Libya or Egypt or even the monarchies in the gulf region? We should evolve a system of government best suited to our needs and peculiar circumstances and not what the western world think is best for us. I have witnessed six military governments and four civilian governments in Nigeria and I dare say that we had always fared better with the military. Almost all the landmark federal and state projects were executed under the military.

Democracy, they say, is the government of the people, by the people and for the people. The major catalyst for good governance is the fear of being driven out by the people. This can not be said of Nigeria's civilian government (not democracy) because they know once they get there, they stay there forever, no matter how they perform. It is the military that even have a semblance of democracy because, at least, they are afraid of their other colleagues booting them out. High time we ended this charade.

Salary U.S. President: $250,000/yr.
GDP U.S. Economy: $13Trillion/ yr.

Allowance Nig. Senator: $1,500,000/yr
GDP Nig. Economy: $45 Billion/yr.

Point of correction, the salary of the US President is $400,000/yr, it became effective in January 2001.

However, how sure are we as regards the true figures you gave for the avaerage Nigerian Politician, we know it can be as high as that though.

It's really baffling how insensitive these people can be. If they were earning these money and there was no other form of corruption (contracts being awarded, bribery etc), we could argue its fair enough, but no, they still plunder, pilfer, manipulate and so on, whilst providing bad leadership and leaving the masses the worse for it.

please i am suprised. wat about punching allowance,

korashaw:

I don't think Nigeria makes $173,428 billion ($173 trillion) per year.

You are wrong. the military is one of the main reason we are in this predicament. nothing beats democracy. the problem is the citizenry. democracy cannot work if citizens allow rubish to continue.
