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
Remember, yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator = N353,756,988.00
Proportion: N353,756,988.00/N216,000.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638 years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian Senator.

What is the job of a senator? To make laws, please so far what have nigerians benefited from the laws they make? Cost of governance in nigeria has always been an issue. It is only when the executive cuts down ,that the senate can cut down Simple...

The head is sick, hence all the effects we see on the body. Imagine an 'executive member' with a N40M bag!

Our senators only count their gains and leave us with pains,
Their populace is their priority,our senator their pockets matter most:

But painful enof you see the same masses fighting themselves coz of ppu who care less about them.

We can amend the Constitution to cancel The Senate and transfer its functions freely and without extra cost to The National Council of State. 2, Let's do this in addition to granting FULL AUTONOMY TO THE 36 STATES AND COLLAPSING NIGERIA CONSTITUTIONALLY INTO SIX EXISTING ZONES. 3,Membership of The House of Representatives should be reduced to THREE MEMBERS PER STATE.

[size=18pt]I still prefer subsidising the national assembly at public expense compared to housing and feeding the current parasitic first family.

Why is Zahra and Yusuf Buhari still living with their parents at Aso rock?

Zahra should be married off asap or made to get a job and move out.

Yusuf can manage the family business of cow herding in Katsina. [/size]
