ITS NO MORE ABOUT SUBSIDY
ALONE:
# # The American President has
only 2 aircraft, our president has 9 in
his fleet and voted money recently to
buy 1 more!
# # The British prime Minister has
only 2 official cars, our president has
23 in his pool and only recently
voted 300m naira to buy 2 more
bullet/bomb proof ones!
# # Senators in the US earn about
$6,000 dollars monthly and dats
about what a university professor,
or a director in a state dept, or a
teacher wt 25yrs experience earn
too, but in Nigeria a senator earns
245million Naira per annum! Dats d
salary of 25 vice chancellors, or 50
medical doctors, or 60 directors, or
500 schl teachers!
# # The US, almost d size of Africa
with about 312million people have
24 ministers, and 32 govt parastatals
and commisions, Nigeria has 42
cabinet ministers, and over 50
government parastatals!
# # America with about 312million
people and more mileage to drive
consumes 39million litres of petrol
daily, Nigeria with 150million people
60% out of which live in remote
areas, yet our govt tells us we
consume about 35million ltrs of
petrol daily!
IS SUBSIDY REALLY THE PROBLEM
OF NIGERIA?
And a last one!!! President Jonathan
last bought fuel with his own money
in 1996 shortly before coming on
board the NDDC! So also is a whole
lot of them in government!
It is time to re-think and re-define.
We have to remove money from
politics. Political office holders should
earn what civil servants earn. That's
what they are: CIVIL SERVANTS!
