This country is just not balanced; so much injustice and unfairness!
How much do retired Professors get? How much do retired headmasters and principals get? Just peanuts!

SmartyPants:
Things people don't understand:

1. The annual basic pay of the CJ is less than 4 million per annum

2. Judges and justices cannot conduct any other business leaving them with only their government pay

3. You must understand that the Chief Justice of the Federation is a critical position that can make and unmake a nation. It is a position that is subject to so much temptation that it is necessary to protect the holder from the temptation to enrich themselves after office.

4. If the CJ lives for another 20 years, the value of this sum is 7 million per month.

5. At the current rate of inflation, if untouched, this money will lose 50% of its value by year 14.

Considering all these, is this too much?

Revolution2022:
Stop this your stupid analysis.#2.5b is a big corruption and unjustifiable.

KingofAnambra:
Great news. We will never allow that bastard political prostitute Pandora thief Peter Obi to become President of Nigeria. He was the most corrupt Governor in Anambra history, using Anambra money to buy beer like a drunkard. Peter Obituary can only be president of IPOB terrorists

Trojan8:
Meanwhile Seun is on twitter dragging Obi for 250m naira that was cleared by the commissioner of Police.

Posterity would judge you for supporting evil.

There's a saying that goes like "when you push a goat to the wall and the goat has nowhere else to go, it will fight back as timid as it is But in Nigerian case, our old haggard corrupt leaders have not only push us to the wall but they held us with iron fist against the wall accompanied with koboko.

CSTRR:
Oluwa has already sent you a help.

He is called Peter obi.
They call him "stingy".

It's your job to put him where God can use him.

If you people allow politicians to play on your collective bigotry and laziness to push him out of the way, you all have yourselves to Blame.

Sorry but it certainly doesn't meet those standards.

All over the world, this is the best practice. Public servants like judges are put in the extraordinary position of note being able to conveniently engage in any other economic endeavour. While you and I may aspire to do business or otherwise earn more money, these citizens must content themselves with what the State offers. The State therefore must therefore compensate them appropriately well.

A US Supreme Court justice earns around a quarter of a million, well above the national average income, whereas our CJN earns the salary of a mid-level banker.

Reference:
Are you for real.
All your points are ripe for a shoot down but just this one.

Read again the definition of inflation and the rudimentary causes and then relate again to this tragedy.
Is it not clear to you that these are some of the causes of inflation in Nigeria by way of overbloated public expenditure and remunerations that do not fit or resemble productivity in any way, shape or form?

Abeg you need to sit down and think properly.
We are too far from the reality we face in this country.
Where is the man going to spend 2.5 billion?... in the midst of wanton, excruciating poverty all around his village? and you want to end crime??... wake up man.

Reference:
Please relate all these stats properly and do not hold them in isolation.
There is no relationship wage wise between a government employee and a private sector worker anywhere in the world.
A better relationship is the minimum wage which government itself sets, either the national minimum wage or governmental minimum wage.
If you want to disperse your argument we can go all the way to GDP to relate the severance package of a Supreme court judge in the US to that of Nigeria.

SmartyPants:
You've really not made any well developed points so its hard for me to tackle this but let me say: i'm talking about what the real value of the money paid is, to give people context as to how much it is worth.

Paying a public servant well is not the same as flooding the country with money in overbloated projects. You might as well demand that he work for free.

Meanwhile what Nigeria suffers from is cost push inflation rather than demand pull inflation so what we need is to solve those structural bottlenecks that drive production prices up not stifle production further by killing demand the kind of economics you're thibking of.

Solving crime is not about making everone poor. Its about providing a better environment for people at the bottom. They commit crime because they have no alternative, not because someone is being paid well. I don't see a correlation between the CJ's retirement benefits and crime.

Speaking of which, how do you expect a poorly paid judiciary to fight crime and corruption??

The arms of government is made up of the legislature,Executive and the Judiciary.These three levels of govt can never be joked with.It is quite sad other service sectors are neglected which is the fault of the executive arm of govt.
Supreme Court justices always retire with billions of naira as gratuity.

Islie:
• Retired CJN entitled to gratuity that is 300% of N3.36m annual basic – Investigation
