This Should Be Our Fight When We Protest by PreciousG1(m): 6:01am On Jan 07, 2012 |
Check out this email I received detailing the outrageous figures paid to a Nigeria Senator. Little wonder why everyone in Nigeria has political ambitions and will do whatever it takes to get there. Basic Salary (BS) – N2,484,245.50 Hardship Allowance @ 50% of Basic Salary – N1,242,122.70 (I love this kind of hardship) Constituency allowance @ 200% of BS - N4,968,509.00 Furniture Allowance @ 300% of BS – N7,452,736.50 Newspaper allowance @ 50% – N1,242,122.70 (Which kind newspaper be this, abi na online or hard copy?) Wardrobe allowance @ 25% – N621,061.37 Recess Allowance @ 10% – N248,424.55 Accommodation @ 200% – N4,968,509.00 Utilities @ 30% – N828,081.83 Domestic Staff @ 35% – N863,184.12 Entertainment @ 30% – N828,081.83 Personal Assistance @ 25% – N621,061.37 Vehicle Maintenance Allowance @ 75% – N1,863,184.12 Leave Allowance @ 10% – N248,424.55 One off payments (Severance gratuity) @ 300% – N7,452,736.50 (Once they get fired.) Motor Vehicle Allowance @ 400% of BS – N9,936,982.00 – Every Four Years Senator’s Salary per month – N2,456,647.70 Total = N29,479,749.00 Per Year Allowance of Nigerian Senator: $1,500,000/year GDP of Nigerian Economy: $45 Billion/year A feeding frenzy!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! Compare with this - Salary of the U.S. President: $250,000/year GDP of the U.S. Economy: $13 Trillion/year What do these Senators do to deserve this? Most of the Pharmacists, Engineers, Lawyers, Doctors, Welfare coordinators, Teachers/Lecturers, Engineers, Civil Servants and other productive professionals cannot boast of N1 million per year. What a pity !!! SAY NO TO THIS OPEN LOOTING OF NIGERIA. SEND A LINK OF THIS POST TO ALL PATRIOTIC NIGERIANS. |
