Why won't them kill anyone blocking them getting to that position. Their entertainment allowance is enough for a young man to start business or farming and help him to provide food for his family.

Smurfette:
Entertainment allowance? Are u kidding me? Bunch of thieves.

It is called Olosho allowance in local parlance.

So why won't they want to kill to get there? Why won't they get involved in kidnapping and rituals just to get in that position? Watch,if they dare do a downward review of their allowances and salaries,you'll see how they'll think twice before aspiring to be lawmakers.

This can't be true

Nobody should make unnecessary noise in this forum because majority of us have been chanting change regardless of the faulty structures Nigeria as a nation has been operating upon which GEJ constituted a national conference to address but not allowed to fully implement the report. So, we have to continue with it!

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

* Sweden - $99 300.00
* Sri Lanka - $5,100.00
* Spain - $43,900.00

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.

Legislators, both at d state & federal level are d problem of dis country. They only legislate into their pocket. Lets unite, mobilize & move against them begining with those thieves at the National Assembly. Pls read & send to all ur contact

JESUS..!!!!
Buhari should start fighting corruption from there..!!!
No time wasting..
And again, all these differences in salaries between Federal Jobs and state jobs should be looked into..
U can imagine a situation where even bank workers rush for Federal Jobs..
Engineers and bankers rushing into politics.!!!

Bawsse:


True bro! But buhari is the president and he can take the following steps to that effect:

1. Sponsor and present a bill that passes a law that there salary be slashed, then make sure the whole world watches(US, UK and others).

2. If they refuse, indirectly sponsor and organise a peaceful but mass civil protest and strike if possible, both by civil servants and social media(#LawsNotJumboSalary ), which will cripple the country and force their hands. Remember that the power of social media protests should not be underestimated like we've seen in the past, not to talk of an accompanying strike.

The reason why this has not work, is because we haven't done any of this before, no bill, no strike, no protest. But with the president, the masses and the world together, the senators will have to dance to such an important tune!

Seems feasible.well let's see how tins wud finally turn out

OrlandoOwoh:
How I wish the Revenue Allocation Mobilization and Fiscal Commission could adopt the mode of salary of legislators as spelt out in the 1989 Constitution of Ibrahim Babangida. Legislation was on part-time basis. Legislators were career (wo)men who we paid based on the number of time they sat.

I like the idea. That would further mitigate the drain on the national purse

CHISOS !!! na wa o......

in the mean tym check out my signature...

We need to go out to protest this wickedness.

omenka:
It is called Olosho allowance in local parlance.

I hope Saraki will reject such an allowance

This is outregious. & madness of the highest gravity !

Daddi:
oya nah

I mean the preparation of 1million march which will bring down the current system of government in Nigeria and enthrone through democracy chaired by bright minds

If you say yes to that reply your pm.
Anybody interested can send a pm too. let's start from the scratch!

Wtf? Abeg all those should be reduced to 8 mi annually

.Remaining shit (stool) allowance, 90% of B.S. 2019 vote me for. Senator

AJORE:

Thank you ...bcs car allowance even shown clearly dat most of those figures are ANNUM not monthly how can someone be earning almost N10 million/monthly as car allowance.._unun let that guy do d research well...

Even if it is the Per-annum value, it is still bigger than that of every other country.. Check out Ghana for example... The value for Nigeria need to be halved or divided into three sef.

I just fainted mentally and got revived !

I think something is missing here oo.. Their credit allowance. Cos I remember while working for a telecommunications company some years back, I noticed some of these senators balance as nothing less than a million naira. Senator David Mark had a zero plan. Even GEJs ADC had about 350,000k in his account.

jacksol:


That Basic Salary is PER ANNUM!
Nobody quotes basic salary on a per month basis.
It's preposterous to think of govt paying each senator N29m every month!

Based on figures presented here, it's probable the total monthly emolument for each senator is around N1.8m, which is quite a lot of money still.

That still puts them above UK counterparts, and slightly below US.

The more worrying aspect may be their probable "other sources" of incomes they won't want to make known?!!

It is not per annum sir

So u mean dat man david mark as been collectin ds for 16yrs[color=#990000][/color]

We need revolution

MichaelSokoto:

Atleast gettin GEJ & PDP out was d very 1st right step.
Ppl who had wanted GEJ to continue, shey una see una life now?

And some of these nairaland gej supporters no even dey earn up to 18k minimum wage, see how much that girl wey see 12million naira for airport they earn, just 7500 naira per month

AJORE:

Thank you ...bcs car allowance even shown clearly dat most of those figures are ANNUM not monthly how can someone be earning almost N10 million/monthly as car allowance.._unun let that guy do d research well...

It is monthly sir but there are some mistakes in d brkdown. There is also constituency allowance. Car payment is not up to that but that is the exact figure a senator is earning monthly.

God help us

ogawisdom:
This is y politics is a do or die affair in Nigeria

This is d first thing I expect buhari to do ie cut down d salary of political office holders by 80 percent n the office will become less financially attractive. A salary of 2m per month to include all allowances shld b a good start

Furthermore having a bicarmel national assembly is a big waste. D house of reps shld b closed n only senators allowed to make laws

Yes sir, Bi-cameral legislature wastes resources. It also causes unnecessary delays in the law making process. I, however, doubt if the president-elect can influence change or a downward review of all remuneration of the law makers.

tell me why nigeria will grow!

1stola:

u dey crase
ur papa na thief senator?

Is it my fault, my father is a senator?

OracleMxNelson:
May God bless you Op

Please MODS... To the promised land... Straight...

Very soon they will have nairaland allowance.

This is why bloodshed will continue because getting to that place is just like money rituals.

Thats y buhari promised to review it and cut it down and the same reason David mark nver wants to leave

We can start internet revolution. Let the whole world see what our so-called leaders are doing to us.
