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.

SPECIAL REPORT:
SALARY OF NIGERIAN SENATORS.

After reading through this Special Report, any sh[center][/center]red of doubt in the reader's mind that Nigeria is doomed and heading for a headlong, downward plummeting will simply dissipate. The details of the remuneration of an average Nigerian Senator is detailed below:

* Basic Salary (B.S) - N2,484,245.50
* Hardship Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70
* Constituency Allowance (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00
* Newspapers Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70
* Wardrobe Allowance (25% of B.S) - N621,061.37
* Recess Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55
* Accommodation (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00
* Utilities (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Domestic Staff (70% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12
* Entertainment (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Personal Assistants (25% of B.S) - N621,061.12
* Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (75% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12
* Leave Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55
* Severance Gratuity (300% of B.S) - N7,452,736.50
* Car Allowance (400% of B.S) - N9,936,982.00
* TOTAL MONTHLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 ($181,974.00)
* TOTAL YEARLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 x 12 = N353,756,988.00 ($2,183,685.00)
* EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162

LEGISLATORS PAY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM
* Britain - $105,400.00
* United States - $174,000.00
* France - $85,900.00
* South Africa - $104,000.00
* Kenya - $74,500.00
* Saudi Arabia - $64,000.00
* Brazil - $157,600.00
* Ghana - $46,500.00
* Indonesia - $65,800.00
* Thailand - $43,800.00
* India - $11,200.00
* Italy - $182,000.00
* Bangladesh - $4,000.00
* Israel - $114,800.00
* Hong Kong - $130,700.00
* Japan - $149,700.00
* Singapore - $154,000.00
* Canada - $154 000.00
* New Zealand - $112,500.00
* Germany - $119,500.00
* Ireland - $120,400.00
* Pakistan - $3,500.00
* Malaysia - $25,300.00
* Sweden - $99 300.00
* Sri Lanka - $5,100.00
* Spain - $43,900.00
* Norway - $138,000.00

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.

No wonder they cover the faces of Nigerian Youths with fraudulent SURE-P and useless You-win Program and all other initiatives that has no future...........they are giving us 'bobo' to drink while their families are taking '5-Alive'. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting damn poorer.
What are they even legislating? Lies!!! Go to their constituency and you will be moved with tears.......they don't do anything. I am still saying this.........REVOLUTION IS COMING VERY SOON........watch out! That is why crime will keep increasing. Senators are forming committee every time but they have forgotten that COMMITTEE WITHOUT COMMITMENT WILL COMMIT CRIME!
Their families are traveling in and out of the country like 'batman' and masses will be campaigning for them without food in their tummy. Even with GMB or GEJ or anybody,they are all thesame. All politicians motives are thesame. Until we flush out these set of people, we will continue to be at the receiving end. These set of people are still the ones rulling us. From 'khaki' to 'agbada'!
My fellow Nigerians, let's wise up! Remember what a former Ghanian president did to all the top echelons in ghana some years back.
'when you chase ram to the end of the wall,it turns back and attack'.

False information!!! The least the mod could do is verify. While their take home pay is horrendous, spreading this level of falsehood will only increase the already bitter animosity between the common man and our (thieving) lawmakers.

For 1, Accommodate allowance is NOT paid monthly, but yearly. Car allowance is also paid yearly and is NOT 400% of BS!


PS, your addition is even wrong. smh...

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.
I tire 'hardship allowance' indeed!

The salary a senator earns in one month is what a chevron staff with 3-5 years experience, that works tirelessly earns per annum....

The moment the senators can agree to cut down on their salaries then I know nigeria is ready for change...till then buhari would be fighting corruption in vain...

Buhari will be frustrated with democracy.. grin....
