In the last one or two weeks, Nigerians have risen up with one voice, more than we‘ve ever done, to declaim the National Assembly — Senate and House of Reps — over what transpires to be their excessive and inordinate self-aggrandisement. Each member of the House of Reps, we are told, carts home over N204m annually, aside some other perks and unimaginable creatively determined allowances; a senator (the senior member of NASS) manages about N240m. Multiply that by their number (some 460 federal legislators) and you get a figure that simply beggars belief — a staggering N136bn per annum.
