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.

Source: the economist

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

To be frank this is utter rubbish by the author.

If you are going to make a protest against something, at least understand it and/or don't lie about it.

It is quite completely idiotic for anyone to put "severance gratuity" as part of the legislator's "salary". Grammar is obviously that person's problems.

Severance gratuity is paid only when the legislator is voted out, not while he or she is a serving legislator.

Secondly, many of the so-called "salary" there are expenses being monetised. How can "Car allowance" be termed as salary?

Are you saying legislators from Biu or Sapele should be funding his cost of movement and accommodation in Abuja from his own pocket?

How can anyone include such as part of "salary"? Very idiotic.

The car allowance is only paid once every 4 years.

If you are going to compare, then compare like-for-like to get an objective assessment to criticise.

While the average cost of personnel given to a Nigeria senator is about N1.5m (Less than $10,000), the award for personnel to a US Senator is $977,671.

https://www.senate.gov/CRSReports/crs-publish.cfm?pid=%270E%2C*PL[%3D%23P%20%20%0A

The average annual allowance paid to or claimed by a US Senator is $1.2m, so how can anyone be so stupid to be comparing the $174K salary of a US Senator to the salary and ENTIRE allowance of a Nigerian Senator.

If you want to compare LfL with US Senator, then you will be comparing with $1.3m salary plus allowance of a US Senator.

In the UK, allowances that can be claimed for Personnel is £137,000 (about $220,000) per year. The average overall expenses claimed per year by a UK MP will be about £150,000 (about $240,000).

All these exclude the UK and US severance gratuity and pensions. I don't know if Nigerian Senators get a pension.

Cutting through all this bullshyt and junk by the incompetent and moronic author. The only payments I can attribute to a Nigerian Senator as salary (and hidden salary) are:

* Basic Salary (B.S) - N2,484,245.50
* Hardship Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70
* 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
* Entertainment (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Leave Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55

Depending on the number of recesses that the Nigerian Senate has, it appears their annual pay would be less than $50,000 per year.

That is the basis of the argument about salary. That is where we argue "is that right"?

Secondly is to assess whether the annual allowances (which comes to only about $41K per annum) being paid is excessive.

I don't know how the fuuktard author decided to calculate "annual pay and allowances" as "monthly salary".

To impeach a Senator, due-process must be followed through the law, the constituency which he represents have the power to do that, unless in cases when the Senator commits National impunity he will be suspended by the Senate itself..

please how did you arrive at #29millon
because I know most of the allowances you quoted are either p.a (per annum: hence the need to divide each by 12) or quarterly and the severance gratuity will be at the end of tenure if the senator is not returned.

so, How did you arrive at #29M?

I just need you to confirm before some people start spreading false information as requested by you. Thanks

Buhari got elected on an anti-corruption platform. It will be interesting to see how he will fight corruption. I don't think a lot Nigerians realise that fighting corruption,particularly in a country like Nigeria where it entrenched, is a life and death issue. When you fight corruption,it fights back. A lot of people are where they are in life because of corruption and they are not prepared to back to porverty no matter what Buhari does. To fight corruption,Buhari will need to throw most of the APC and PDP leadership in jail and this is like fighting your own shadow. We wait to to see what Buhari does.

I think the poster has this a bit wrong.
Some of the figures are annual amounts not monthly amounts.
For instance, Leave Allowance is once a year (you go on leave once a year) , Car allowance is perhaps every 2-3 years (they don't renew their cars every month) , Severance Gratuity is 1 time only (when they leave the senate), accommodation in once a year (the don't pay rent every month) and so on and so forth.

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

This (calculated annual salary of $2 million) is very misleading.

Where is the link to the Economist article?

You posted the basic salary of all other countries listed without spending, housing and staff allowances, but included all of Naija's.

Going by your listing of Naira to dollar exchange rate of 162, Nigeria's average legislator salary of #2,484,245.50 = $15,334.00

But Pakistan no try at all o. All those Indian subcontinent type countries are so weird sha. And, it's mighty dangerous there being a public official. Which country did one protester set himself on fire and went to give the "embrace of death" to a politician/activist? shocked
