KnowAll:
An English MP only gets about £68,000.00 per annum that is 5 times the lowest briton using £11,500.00 as a benchmark. There is no justification for our Legislators getting what they presently getting.

I hope you know that's just the salary.
The average allowance they claim is £118000 per annum.

u could have asked what ma deifinition of smash is.
smash in comparison to the national average and top mark. get ma drift

KnowAll:
Is 3 million not fair figure considering we are coming down from 38 million Naira.

What's the average cost of renting a comfortable property where they are required to reside?
Cost of yearly transportation?
Cost of paying salary for their respective employees?
et al

I am not arguing against reducing the allowance or what-not. I am arguing against Mr Knowall plucking a 3M figure (salary +allowance) from outer-space.

Excesses should always be curbed in line with CPI

[quote author=KnowAll link=topic=363553.msg5072115#msg5072115 date=1260278233]I think there is valid point here

The point has be answered - get rid of wastage and re-distribute, I am sure the country will be ok. Afterall Sanusi injected 600 billion into the Nigeria economy with no sight of Inflation in the horizon. I am sure we will be fine, Nigeria is a wealthy nation.

Population and corruption points to a different conclusion

@ jaybee,

one of the things included is a quaterly 30million for 'constituency allowance'. Now unless you know something I do not know, I hardly hear of them doing anything in their various constituencies. Maybe apart from settling the boys.

I am not an accountant or even in the finance field but I do think that something needs to be done to reduce the allowances those guys receive. It has been said that Nigerian senators are the highest paid in the world meanwhile the people live on less than a dollar a day. That definitely means there is something wrong somewhere?

Do you know how much an average MP earns per annum?
do the comparison[/quote]

r u sure u know what u r talking about?
redistribution of wealth is generally used when the government wants to have separate tax band for the rich and poor.
how do u expect the so called senators and house of rep members to fill the gap left by drastically reducing their respective allowances. Do you even know what's included in these allowances?

and since when did tax credit equate to additional salary income.
TC is a mere form of benefit which will most probably be scrapped once the tories get into government.
Base your figures/argument on salary income alone just as the statisticians do

Have a look at the figures published on the link above and calculate the mean

If they have kids.
your figures are based on the average brits plus not sure they'd get that much if they are claiming for working tax credit. I think they are only allowed to if they work less than 37hrs.

once, smashed it but never needed it

@ OP
How did u arrive at that figure oh?
Why not start from calculating the minimum wage in the UK which i believe is less than £6 per hr
calculate that by 37hrs a week *52
You should get somethin gin the region of £11544 per annum.

If you want to calculate what's adequate then you need to calculate the minimum amount an average person should live by daily first.
Seems u haven't come across something called wage inflation

U can't be serious Miss abt you being single. Oya come and talk to daddy 

dream on

not when it ain't gonna have any bearing on his level of reasoning

:-x :-x :-x

^^
na wa for you oh

yahoo yahoo ruled out.

olanna08:
what is yahoo yahoo boi?

look at it dis way, why would your b/f that resides in nigeria (my guess) sign up to sites and meet girls that live thousand miles away if not 4 the pretence of love and in turn defraud them afterwards.

and since when did a centre or full back been marking messi?
job of marking messi is for the right or left back to worry about. what we need is a workman defensive midfield player like mascherano (hopefully mikel will rise to the occassion) and correct speedy wing players that can counter attack cos i can bet the argies will leave nuff space for us to explore.

It's going to be evenly balanced game and def not gonna be a massacre that some are predicting

ur b/f na yahoo yahoo boi

awwwwww

Seun is right what u need to build into your adequate plan is what project managers call contingency plans.

I agree with your last comment but your ascertion that all natives that grew up in own cities are tribalist is gravely wrong.

nah. i don't roll like dat

Beaf:
I have always sworn that I will vote for Ribadu if he ever ran for president.
With the drug trade tainted Tinubu forming a part of the ticket, it will be a no no. Tinubu being party boss just ridicules to pieces, any anti-corruption fulcrum Ribadu might want to hinge on.

So what do you have to say about the current administration in lagos state if your reason of not wanting to is anything to by?

Ibime:
Assuming this gist is plausible, if Buhari is serious, he should put Fashola at the top of the ticket with Ribadu as his running mate, and not the other way around. Fash has more executive experience than Ribadu.

Isn't the order set that way cos of the rotational jargon?

na wa oh

chei see warped reasoning at best

pregnancy not confirmed yet so what u worried abt?

lol

are they even roads?
