Nigerian Lawmakers Top World Salary Chart*

...Higher Than MPs in US, UK, S/Africa, Brazil, Japan...

A Nigerian legislator receives an annual salary of about $189,000, equivalent of N30 million, which is 116 times the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) per person, says the publication which was posted on the magazine’s website on Friday.

The figures put salaries collected by Nigerian senators and members of the House of Representatives way ahead of those received by fellow parliamentarians in the 29 countries whose data was analysed by the Economist....

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.

...only Australian lawmakers, with $201,200 annual salary, receive higher amounts compared to Nigerian legislators, but their salaries are only 3 times their country’s GDP per person.

*What is your take on this?
*Is the lawmaker's earning justified given ‪Nigeria‬'s economic situation?
*Should this amount be reviewed?
*What do you think is the Way forward...?

Yes nah...

National President of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, Dr Chibuzor Asumogba has said that the 73-day old strike embarked on by his union will be called off in two weeks time.
This was even as the President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Dr Nasir Isa Fagge told Vanguard that the 10-day-old varsity lecturers strike would continue.
Asumogba, in an interview with Vanguard after the meeting with the Joint National Assembly Committees on Education, indications emerged that the Federal Government would accede to their demands.

He said: “Our meeting with the Senate Committee on Education was successful. There was an agreement to meet our demands in the next two weeks as the request will be presented to President Goodluck Jonathan for his approval.”
He said that the Senate Committee Chaired by Senator Uche Chukwumerije however, pleaded that the union should call-off their strike and give it some time to convey their demands to the President.
Asumogba who noted that he cannot unilaterally call off the strike based on government’s promise added, “We will determine when to call off our industrial action after our NEC meeting slated in two weeks.”
According to him, ASUP demands waiting for presidential approval include; implementation of the Consolidated Polytechnics and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Salary Structure, the Consolidated Polytechnic and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONPCASS), package, the appointment of the governing council and the issuance of the White Paper on same.

yeah... dat d spirit....

the South African from KwaZulu-Natal tells it in all seriousness. And who knows, he may even be telling the truth about having visited heaven four times, so far. The first time was in 1998, and subsequent visits were made in 2004, 2006 and 2008. It all started in 1993, when a white man (an angel, apparently) paid him a visit and told him he was needed in heaven. And now, after several visits, he’s drawing a map to make sure the rest of us ‘unlucky’ ones get what he’s talking about.

But it’s not the fact that he took a few vacations to heaven or even that he’s drawing a map that amuses me. It’s more to do with the stuff he says he’s seen and done there. According to Mthembu, there are 11 heavens in all, and he was taken to the fifth one, Crista, first. It was there, in a city called Sharmoy, that he claims to have met Jesus. The main heaven is Salem, he says, where God’s temple is located. God is apparently in his youth, and of a Grayish complexion. Jesus is white. He saw God for the first time during his second trip, on a planet called Jadalem that’s mostly covered in water and ice.

Mthembu’s other sightings include Moses, Eliya, and Abel. He also explored the Marshnode City, which is the place people go to when they die, to get reincarnated. But here’s the weirdest of all his tales – he says that the people who predicted the end of the world in May last year weren’t entirely incorrect. Mthembu seems to have eavesdropped on an important meeting in the heavens, where the biggest war against Satanism was being discussed. The war is supposed to have been launched on May 23rd, so we’re basically on a countdown to the absolute end.

The map isn’t ready yet, but Mthembu is already worried about counterfeit versions. “People must come and see the map as one day someone from Japan or China or Britain will design a map of heaven and the people of South Africa will have forgotten that the map was originally made in South Africa,” he says. Perhaps he needs to patent his creation. And while he’s at it, write a fantasy novel and strike a movie deal too?

congratulation to all polytechnic student,just about an hour ago ASUP chairman broke the annoucement,which is considered the big one for all polytechnic student.After calling off the strike,the media went ahead to ask,if the federal government has met the demands of ASUP. Out of dismay,the ASUP chairman shook his head and said,he was disappointed with the media more than he his to the FG,saying the media formed a deaf ear to the strike,that an average Nigeria does not know that polytechnics are on strike,he went ahead to say when a student inform someone that his school has been on strike,they all would say,oh....we no even know,uhna done suffer.After expressing his anger he went ahead to say,actually the jonathan led government is doing nothing concerning our demands,even after a closed door meeting with the education minister,were the president said he has so many issues to deal with now than to start spending more money on the so called polytechnics,but just after the meeting,the chairman of the newly formed party ACP called the chairman of ASUP to a meeting with ACN,CPC,AFGAN governor,who promised ASUP that their would give ear to ASUP demand and will do more,one of which every student will be given a bursary award which is to cover 50% of every student fee,that is,for spending 4 years in the poly,2 years fee would be paid by FG,and every student who graduates with first class,would stand a chance to do their master in canada,while those with lower credit,n pass would continue their study in south African and Ghana respectively,also salary of Rectors would be increased by 90%.After this meeting,the ASUP chairman called off the strike asking all student to resume at their various school on the first week of June 2015,that about 2 years time,ofcourse after voting in ACP.It so sad that you sat down and read all these poo,that means you are as jobless as me.mehn go find work,this strike would last more than we thought.
