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.

The sad part is - they work just 3 times in a week, of which over 80% don't bother attending their plenary sessions. As a matter of fact, their last session had just about 20 senators. sad

Lets be objective.
I doubt if many of the allowances r on monthly basis.
Some may b on yearly basis. My opinion sha
Check this out.
(Said amount a senator earn per annum) x (360 say the exchange rate) x total number of senators= 90billion naira jus for senators alone o. Does it mean the green chamber lawmakers own is jus 30 billion.I doubt

News like this are enough to make more Nigerians develop mental illness.

Let's add the salaries and allowances of the Governors, Ministers, Heads of Parastatals and other politically exposed persons. Then we would know that the country can't just progress with such profligacy.

These are the sorts of wastages and unfair distribution of wealth that Labour ought to be seen agitating for.

We should actually fight in bringing down the cost of governance and not minimum wage.
Re: Salary Of The Average Nigerian Senator. by yuvisan: 10:14pm On Nov 13, 2018
Yes ooo ! Nigerians should indeed fight to bring down the cost of governance and above all
be very ,very serious about the fight against corruption. For many of these office holders are not
even content with these hefty salaries . Government funds are still misappropriated on top of it.
God Almighty will eventually hear the cry of the poor through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen !

The cost of governance in this country is way beyond my imagination. Truth is; it's the Masses who suffer it.
Moral: try not to be among the masses, be an Elite.
Re: Salary Of The Average Nigerian Senator. by Nobody: 2:32am On Nov 14, 2018
This is madness! The fact that Nigerians are not in the street everyday protesting this until it is drastically reduced is pathetic!

They have succeeded in dividing the masses along tribal and religious lines that people are not even paying attention to them anymore!

This is ridiculous! More reason why someone like sowore should be president NOW!

We can't keep praying for everything to get solved by God. If we the masses decide enough is enough, things will definitely change. Imagine the NLC coming out to protest about this, insisting everyone is on minimum wage, things will automatically be better. Cc: lalasticlala.
