you've never lived in the north so u won't understand the importance of traditional rulers. Where I served in the north, a corper impregnated a hausa girl, it was the seriki intervention that saved the lives of all corpers in that community. If an ordinary local seriki is that important, then what will an emir be?

the serikis and emirs are important because they denied the masses education and seized the instruments of production such as land which are firmly held by the northern elites.

What Does He Do With The Salary Given That Everything Up To Maybe His Pants Are On The Budget?

MutantMetahuman:
I said doing what exactly?
What exactly does he do that made him deserve 1.2million salary?

Why reading and understanding hard you like this?
Its not late to pick agbo goes to school to learn comprehension again you know?

The Senators of Nigeria for example earn fat salaries monthly. But do all of them really deserve it? You mentioned marrying underaged girls yet most of the senators do worse than that.
Iffa hear!

lofty900:
stop displaying ur stupidity. He's a first class ruler in Nigeria, presidents will come and go, governors will come and go but he remain until his death. Besides he's against child marriage

You did not answer his question. What is his job exactly to get that kind of income? You guys just like to follow. Hanging on to the same rubbish that has kept and is keeping your society in poverty. Make una carry on.

savagefinder:
someone that the president bows to isn't a first class ruler? Well done sir!

If he was a first class ruler he won't be begging Ganuje up and down like a baby.

The Emir was behaving as if he was independent of the State Government whereas he is an appointee of the Government who is answerable to a Commissioner, not even to the Governor - Said Ganduje

tell me how much unemployed people here get as allowance. Look at the set up there and check how many people are unemployed/underemployed. This kind of money paid to the emir could have been used for something better.

why is he receiving his salary before any teacher in the country?

The whites has finally achieved their aim. The have made our culture usless and our monarch media personality. How can a well respected throne among others stoop so low to respond to every poo on social media?

Wetin concern homosexuality with this nonsense? We have been crying for something to be done about the amount senators and representatives receive, we never knew traditional rulers are part of the problem.

What's the percentage of people that can make that amount in the entire year in the north there?

Even those that work as cleaners there can afford to live the kind of lives an average middle class Nigerian lives, even better. They have quality medical care, schools, infrastructures, just name it. And you're comparing them to us? Do you see any Briton dying to come to Nigeria?

1.2 million for doing what exactly?

Marrying underage girls to alimajiri or marrying more wives?

And that is salary alone. Chai!

wait.. If you think it's too big for him, you should as well say we shouldn't have traditional rulers at all.. What is 1.2m? How much is there? If one should buy Samsung Galaxy from it how much will remain? Someone that is seen as the figure head of a major ethnic group, shouldnt be respected abi? If you want to doubt the power in his hand.. Let him tell all those abokis to kill any Christian and let us see what's up.. Ordinary Lagos own that said people should jump into lagoon caused wahala.. Like it or not, Nigerians hold their traditions to heart.. If you don't want him to be paid 1.2m then you should first of all stop every one from speaking hausa.. They paid efe 25m for kissing people and shouting street and they shouldn't pay an Emir 1.2m..una brain Sha.. You for go question England say why they dey give queen of England house and money, when she no dey play major role for politics

Meritocracy:
If you want to know his function, you can google the function of Emir of Kano, how much is this compare with what he was taking as CBN Governor. Do you thing he's a poor man.

he is a rich man, that's why he should reject that kind of salary that sounds inhumane in this part of the world. If he has so much wealth, why can't he push for a salary cut while encouraging the money to be spent in areas that need it more

Aka2003:
Naija na wa oo. So our leaders are paying 5% PAYE on a monthly salary in excess of 1.3mil naira? Wow this is a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. How many civil servants in Nigeria earning above 200k monthly pay 5% tax? I always thought that PAYE was set up in such a way that you pay more when you earn more? Please tax accountants in the house enlighten me. I need to follow up this FIRS people oo.

You are right. Honestly, whenever I receive my payslip I feel bad due to high tax deduction. I don't really know what percentage they use sef.

He contributes majorly to ensuring peace in his domain .

there is some tricks some village guys do sometimes which goes like this:when they look for an avenue to make money,they will go to a good road,spoil some part of the road and then begin to work and asking motorists for money.this is exactly what the northern elites do,they deny their people education in order to make them ignorant and also indoctrinate them with inciting verses from the koran in order to make them violent and then they turn around to control them and exploit the many ignorant masses for the benefits of the few elites.it is based on a universal law which states that in order for few to gain immortality,many must die.so many died in the north for the few elites to live in afluence.

Oga state his duties as First Class ruler.

[quote author=varmint post=56133355]isn't it weird that some Nigerians think he deserves that salary? look at the people responsible for building the country, start from the lecturers in our tertiary institutions and those that work in research institutes, how much is their salary, how fast are they being paid? how much do they contribute to the development of the country? ask the same questions about the emir and ask yourself, if those guys who have done so much are paid such meagre fees and are not even the reason is that he is a descendant of othman dan fodio,a strong member of the caliphate and they are sharing the proceeds of estate of their great ancestors area their

Mind your choice of words, He is a first class ruler in Northern Nigeria.

See 1.2m is small money, very small infact for a person of that position, if it had entered into 50m and above ehen.. There's a problem then..

You are saying how many of his people are getting that amount.. How many of them dey work? Every one wants to beg and will only hear alahuakbar. That's even more the reason why he is needed to talk sense into those numb skuls, incase you don't know, a doctor can earn that amount in a month and even more.. I know many igbo business men that earn that in a month but want to save up to build house or what ever.. Oga.. If truly you work.. 1.5m is a small money to cry over..

About England.. My point there is they still respect their royal personalities, did you think it was always this rosey? Edakun pls go and read about their history.. Every one is waiting for government to feed them don't go and find a handwork worth doing.. How many people in England depend on the government? When the bulk of the work is taken from the head of the government, how won't they focus well on health and Co.

And finally.. Be doing your self and be thinking you are doing me.. You can check through my previous threads and see for your self.. Because you are poor and hungry and can't contain your hunger doesn't mean that every one who isn't in shock because of small 1.5m abi 1.2m is in their father's house.. If you haven't held 500k doesn't mean I haven't.. I am currently on a project that whooped almost what that Emir earns in a month only for development.. Go and feed your self and stop being angry..

You took the words right of out of my mouth. They don't implement the PITA system and they try to impose it on private sector employees. His tax should be in excess of 200k.

Question what does he do to deserve 1.2 million salary excluding cutbacks, bribes from politician, contracts and other allowances?.

good thing you got my point. these are the things that amount to the high cost of governance in this country. I don't have an issue with the emir, no traditional ruler deserves such. I see you mentioned doctors there and businessmen. let dangote stop working today and see how many people will go hungry, let that doctor stop working and see death rate go up, these people add value to the society, they contribute meaningful things we can see, what's the emir bringing to the table?

father Lord.. Why are you people acting like you don't know how mad this abokis are? The governor is the head politically, the Emir is the head traditionally, right from day one we have used both in our political system.. If you do not want them to be paid first them move for them to be even removed totally and let us know that we do not have separate tribes again..

Oya back to the mad abokis.. People are saying that the northern elites do not want their people to get better.. How? After taking Abu and many better things there? They created the best environment to make their people better but the idiots want to straff and push water for N50 naira.. See do not lie to your selves, if what is in hausa land is present in igbos land these guys no go see our back.. What is refinery doing there? Al them states have federal universities na..
