Abi senators dey buy cars every month? angry angry

it is true. You are the one who is refusing to agree the obvious.

They are all per annum you say? Is the basic salary of less that 300000 they mentioned also per annum? And the other allowances, are they not calculated with the basic salary as the reference point? Do your mathematics and show that all the other allowances are not done with the basic salary as a reference point. If it is actually per annum like you've said, how then is it possible that Nigeria spends 25 percent of is annual budget servicing the house of assembly like Sanusi pointed out sometime ago? Or do you know more than Sanusi? Have you ever being in position to have all the figures he had access to? When he came up with that allegation, did anyone question the authenticity of his figures?

Lastly, when a law maker was brought to Channels tv sometime ago, he said that the basic salary of a rep member is somewhere around that of a permanent secretary. When you compare the basic salary of a senator given here as less than 300000 naira a month, won't you discover that the lawmaker told the truth? How much is the basic salary of a permanent secretary?

90% of the post before this show how a typical Nigerian reason. Some one came up with a post and you are all up in arm supporting it without querying or analysing how he reach such conclusion. We Nigerians need to CHANGE.

All those allowances can't be monthly

you who is disagreeing with it should atleast try to show that all the figures are not monthly like you claim. You don't expect us to believe you just because you feel that way.

And when you say they are not monthly, do you also think that the over 200000 naira basic salary is yearly too? Seriously, you think a serving senator earns around 20000naira a month? Do you honestly believe that?

Contend This: The Teachers In Secondary Schools Are Extremely Underpaid. They Should Be The One To Collect This Huge Sums. They Train People. Honestly, Something Needs To Be Done. I Pity Public School Teachers.

At a point, Nigerian lecturers were constantly going on strike citing the outrageous salaries being paid legislators who aren't more productive than them..

Anyway, the stealing doesn't end with senators, the ones you see are peanuts compared to the ones you don't see.

I don't blame a thief for stealing as much as he can grab and more but the lukmon that allows it to happen and says "it is well"(nothing personal) The problem isn't the thieves, its nigerians. Nigerians refuse to fight for their future, so it is certain they will continue to die in underfunded hospital and beg for poor paying jobs. It isn't about God. You know the right thing to do and refuse to do it and say God should take control? If a student refuses to study and says God should take control, will he/she not fail?

Lukmon united!

So pathetic if few fat belly elites whose duty is saddled with the responsibility of checking the activities of the executives these same elements are the ones receiving such obnoxious,skyrocketing huge amount of money as monthly salaries,yet they find it difficult agitating for the working masses a minimum wage of #18,000.A time will come that the poor will have nothing else to eat than the rich.Neither Buhari nor Jonathan can restore back the change we are clamouring for,all we need is a "SYSTEM CHANGE".
"Social consciousness determines social being our leaders are anti-masses.

Give a teacher 1/10 of that amount and we will see our kids building near field technologies equipment and facilities far more better than that of the west.

Please run a google check using the title of the thread as the key words.

This is not a matter of running a google check! This is simple mathematics! All the calculations were done per annum! Why did the op now multiplied it by 12?

Dem dey take car allowance per month in your company? 9million x 12 that is 108million for car loan! Please stop displaying your ignorance!

Do we need a prophet to tell us that things can never be better in Nigeria going this direction. I can tell you in the next 200yrs things will still remain same. The only solution is this, divide this country and let's everybody go and sustain his economy with IGR then no body will tell us to be prudent in spending. You could imagine the salary of senator in Canada,British even saudi with crude oil . omo guys must waka ,as for you guys you have the power come next year to stop this thieves from looting our treasury, that is your vote, sweep them away patapata .Let me go to toilet before I make my final comment

Kindly go back to post and re read it!

so you mean each senator collects about 2.5million per month?

So why are we complaining?
