In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country’s GDP per person, that of a British member of parliament is just 2.7 times.

The average salary of Nigerian worker based on the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So, the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 = N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator = $2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638 years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian Senator.

Legislators, both at d state & federal level are d problem of dis country. They only legislate into their pocket. Lets unite, mobilize & move against them begining with those thieves at the National Assembly. Pls read & send to all ur co ntacts

If you take a look at what senators in other African countries such as Ghana and South Africa earn, even at $1 to #150 or in good economic times, they could live in comfort.
If the figures for Nigerian senators are true, then their renumeration is just obscene.

@ enlightenedmind, please watch your tongue as you refer to "distinguished" members of the Nigeria Senate.
..I'd rather you called them "Superanimals"!
Got that?

.. "old wine in old bottle".

donphilopus:
So that's the man who gave Chukwudi44 #200 to go protest against the trial?! Most of them celebrating the peanut given to them for the protest don't know that Saraki doesn't the money released to them by Saraki doesn't even affect his pocket. It's just like the 'P' is Psychology to him. Inconsequential!

Just take a look at Ekiti State's IGR! ..its probably less than what the governor is worth. ..

Wailers beware!

..While the "uncommon" thief continues to languish in our prisons indefinitely while he awaits a trial that may never come to be..
..might as well change the slogan on the coat of arms to "Unity in Injustice"!
..and so, the morale of the story? If you wanna steal.. steal big!!!

The Nigerian Senate remains the last bastion of corruption in our country. ..their fortress is literally impregnable.

Similar genes, same outcome.

Just checked my calendar again. April 1st was 10 days ago!

Politics, a game of "abracadabra ".. The more you look, the less you see.

The Saraki name is fast becoming synonymous with theft. ..A trademark!
Is this the new face of corruption in Nigeria or just another Senate President being associated with grand larceny? ..or witch hunt.

He initially showed up at the courts with literally speaking, the whole senate and now 80 lawyers? ..hehe, all this reminds me of "Ali baba and the 40 .."! ..my lips are sealed o!

..same ol' same ol'.
The Nigerian govt arguably has the the richest (most corrupt I mean) set of public officials in the world!

..A result of many wrongs.
Impoverished people to probably reckless driving to poor road worthy vehicle to fuel scarcity to a mix of ineffective administration at NNPC to years of bad governance cascading from visionless leadership and repression from colonialism that kept the people impoverished!
A vicious cycle you see?
A predetermined recipe for chaos!

..birds of a feather!
The rogue coalition.

The Clergyman has just expressed the simple truth. The country won't be fixed overnight. Things would be tougher before it gets better.
God help our beloved country.

"Masterstroke" comment!

..on only 2 conditions will I consider PDP
1, He (Akpabio) sincerely declares how much he made during his tenure as governor btw 2007 & 2015
1, He discloses a Nigerian Senator's total emoluments.
..on only these conditions will I consider him & his cohorts taking us for a ride again!

@Hardeysolution
Word Bro, I feel you!

2.7T? That's a "Power house ".
..tempting price too.
Happy sales.

Mehn.. Tom & Jerry all the way!
Favourite character is undoubtedly Thomas!!!

I pray!

Beware! ..It might be a new haven for our politicians to stash away their loot. ..

..don't you know the saying.. "The guilty are afraid" ?

I bet he'll jump at the opportunity to loot, sorry govern again, if offered.

How great the sanitisation will be..
Cretinous thinking!

The depth of ingenuity our political class exhibit in depriving us of our commonwealth is simply amazing!

..any mistake in this car at top speed takes you on a one way trip to the afterlife!

[color=Blue]Dude, did you see where Osisinakpo insulted my father, simply because I called him out on his all too obvious Plagiarism?

All he had to do was address that. I'm not an advocate of intellectual / copyright theft. [/color]

Siena I've been an ardent follower of your threads and posts for years, especially on car talk and I have immense respect for you.
Sorry you felt insulted but please let the Man in you overlook all these. We (Nairaland readers) need you in the best frame of mind so that we can continue to reap from your wealth of experience.
