Shagari And Alex Ekwueme's Salaries 36years Ago.. by BeeBeeOoh(m): 4:25pm On Apr 13, 2016
President of Nigeria's Second Republic (1979-1983) Shehu Shagari's annual salary was N30,000.00, and Vice-Presidant Alex Ekwueme-N24,000.



This was in 1980. 36 years after, the president and VP earn more than 10000 times that amount. See below



The president takes home N14, 058, 820.00 (allowances included), while VP is paid N12, 126,290.00 annually. Quite a long way from the 30k per annum salary, huh?

good old days before corruption crept in. e go better.
mean while I dedicated this FP to my daughter because this is daughters week. On the first day of their marriage, wife and husband agreed not to open the door for ANY visitor! That same day, the husband’s parents came to see them, and knocked on the door. Husband and the wife looked at each other... the husband wanted to open the door, but since they had an agreement, he did not, so his parents left. After a while, the same day, the wife’s parents came visiting. Wife and husband looked at each other, and even though they had an agreement, the wife with tears on her eyes whispered:- "I can’t do this to my parents", and she opened the door! Husband did not say anything. Years passed and they had 2 boys. Afterwards, they had a third child which was a girl. The father planned a very big and lavish party for the new born baby girl, and he invited everyone over. Later that night, his wife asked him what was the reason for such a big celebration for this baby, while we did not do so for the brothers! The Husband simply replied:- "because she is the one who will open the door for me!" Daughters are so special... your little girl will hold your hand for only a little while... but will hold your heart for a life time. It's 'DAUGHTER'S WEEK', and if you are a daughter OR have a daughter who makes life worth living, by just being around - and you love her as much as your own breath... if you are proud of your daughter, or being a daughter, send this to other people who have daughters or who are daughters.. as I just did...... Daughters are angels!Happy daughter's week.

Daughter is not equal to tension
But
In today's world a
Daughter is equal to
Ten sons

A FATHER Asked His DAUGHTER:
Who do you Love More, Me Or your Husband..??

The Reply Given By the DAUGHTER is:
I Don't Know Really,
But When I See you
I Forget Him,
But When I See Him,
I Remember you
That's Why DAUGHTERS are SPECIAL


It's DAUGHTER'S WEEK..
If you have a daughter who makes your life worth living by just being around and you love her as much as your own Breath....

If you are proud of your Daughter, send this to people who have daughters..!!

Daughters are so special! .
Daughters are angels.!

❤Happy❤
❤Daughters❤
❤Week❤
Pls click like for all daughters all over the world.

Convert that amount to Dollar then

Dollar was N1 = $1.

That means 30k dollar per yr converted to Naira is like 10M right now

Plus inflation cost for 30yrs plus

And the Sin-nators and lawbreakers in Nigeria are now earning $200,000 monthly => NGN 66 Million Naira per month.

The salary is not the issue but the wicked allowances they allotted to themselves.
