This doesn't include monthly N500, 000 running cost for their offices. When they travel abroad for official assignment, they collect as much as $2, 000 per week. It may be more, depending on destination and number of days to be spent.

Commissioners and special advisers have two official cars. A Toyota Prado and Toyota Camry 2009. And when they go out of the state to represent the governor at event, they get as much as N150, 000 to N200, 000 as transport and accommodation claims on such trips.

Doesn't seem like much, so I'm guessing there are other perks they don't make public.

A commissioner making about N500K which is about $3000/month is not outrageous abeg. I thought they will be making 109x that amount.

You are getting more comfortable with this amajiri thing. Why are you obsessed with welfare?.

why call me almajiri? or do almajiris have access to internet

I said amajiri mentality. Also, yes begging is big business in Nigeria dominated by the Hausa/Fulani and they also do tribalism in sharing better begging sites. So an amajiri using the internet is no big deal. He can afford it one million times over since he earns more than an average working Nigerian.

Nigerias salary scale

Average salary from begging/amajiri/alaye in Nigeria = N5m/per annum
Average salary from blue collar job in Nigeria = N200k/per annum
Average salary from white collar job in Nigeria = N2m/per annum
Average salary of a business man in Nigeria = N7M/per annum
Average salary of a pastor in Nigeria = N30m/per annum
Average salary of a politician in Nigeria = N100M/per annum
Average salary of prostitutes in Nigeria = N2m/per annum
Average salary of  armed robbers in Nigeria = N4m/per annum

Now, who earns the least from the list above?.

This is still Ok. Not too much.
