N500k in Nigeria but not Lagos or Abuja or PH.

I will take it in Ekiti or Ebonyi or Kebbi.

lastkingsman:
According to you:

Earnings - 2k
Expenses - 1.7k

Difference (Savings) - 300£ (570,000 Naira with today's exchange rate).

This is with health insurance, access to more opportunities to progress, security and free education up till secondary school level .

You dey smoke Indian hemp

Na for Ogbomoso you want to spend the savings, or is it not to spend in the same UK where your £300 monthly saving is all you have when the need for it arises, like being inbetween jobs and already knowing your monthly expenses would be circa £1700?

What terrible folly to acknowledge your expenditure within the foreign country economy, only to acknowledge your savings as if it is meant for Nigerian economy.

Or is it not the same Nigeria you already sold the properties your previously acquired, plus the one you even inherited.

Akotileta!

So you also found out that Obi was a fraud?

Stale news!

So since time past, politicians have always earned more than the very senior civil servants besides the Head of Service?

Only junior ministers earned below the HoS.

Bossly:
The budget for the assembly complex is lower than the cost of your vice president's house.

Kashim shitty man.

Was that one a needlessly destroyed project that had to be rebuilt?

How much to rebuild the state assembly your political associates destroyed?

Rivers State has the local economy to sustain that project, but can it commit to the capital requirements to complete the project?

lordm:
you can't hold a civil conversation. There were so many people that contested the last election. I didn't even insult you. See how you responded to a simple question. Bros try and speak to people maturely

You want a clansman whose brother lost election to respond to you calmly over a question about competence?

Nawa for you ooo.

Arobaga:
Your papa he’s the competent one




All of a sudden una eyes don clear say Tinubu na incompetent Buffon

Why are Igbos always angry when this question about the competent one is posed?

Did Igbos not vote for their tribes man.

Did the Igbo candidate not also be come the church candidate, who was campaigning that the church should take back its country, as if Nigeria is the Vatican?

DMerciful:
Are you slow? I'm not expecting him to create local govt areas for my state!

While he was governor of Lagos, he create local govt areas but obj rejected it so he changed it to LDAs. Now that he is president,
let him create additional local govt areas for Lagos since he was fighting obj to accept the nonsense he did.

If you like, don't understand this simple comment to deflect

I see that you are already getting frustrated by your own delusion.

Maybe your rehabilitation is not totally impossible.

I repeat again, anything you want, demand from the election loser that you acknowledged as your own President.

You cannot be insane and then try to act sane simultaneously.

Anything that you think should be done in Nigeria, make that demand to the President you acknowledge.

DMerciful:
Answer the question!

The truth is that he created those lical govts in Lagos to attack Obj. If his intention was genuine, he would have made those LDAs of Lagos actual local govt areas now

I repeat that you should stop expecting anything from the one you do not consider your President.

Or your own President has no power to implement anything?

DMerciful:
Now that he is president(illegitimate), whats stops him from creating those local governments?

Go and meet the loser you consider as your President to give you whatever you want.

muykem:
Everything they are fighting for today, their fathers fought against it.

That is the big irony that cement their ignoble identity as hypocrites.

raskymonojendor:
I will post this here again just like I did on the previous dishonest thread you created yesterday.


The coup led by Nzeogwu and Ironsi's unification decree No. 34 destroyed Regionalism. Gowon just finished off what Ironsi started with creation of the 12 states under decree No. 14.

Considering also that the NPC party had also approached Nwafor Orizu being the acting President, to constitute a new government headed by Zanna Dipcharima.

Instead, the Igbo Nwafor Orizu preferred to invite the Igbo Aguiyi Ironsi, to take over government after a coup that had already been put down by a supposedly loyal Army headed by Aguiyi Ironsi.

muykem:
Some people want to rewrite history to defend their tribe man from any wrong doing. This is the same mentality that made to killed leaders others ethics and safe their own.

You cannot blame them.

The Azikiwe refusal to have a secession clause in our independence constitution, the 1st coup, the unitary decree of the Ironsi military government, and finally the Ironsi and Ojukwu led military offensive to abort Adaka Boro's illegitimate Niger Delta republic, have all been a big albatross on the later hypocrisy of their own tribe starting with the illegitimate Biafra seccession Nigerian civil war.

The military has been too involved in the Nigeria that existed at different times post independence.

I am happy that the Tinubu regime is proving that the democratic leadership of Nigeria can actually shape Nigeria.

The guts and gusto of Tinubu as seen in his determination to create more local governments for Lagos State when he was Governor, and the refusal to back down even when the OBJ regime was illegally withholding Local Government funds, is the recipe for the renewed hope and expectations we now have that a restructuring of Nigeria is nigh.

Why not show us decree 15 that you claimed ended resource control?

We already know that Gowon created smaller states to replace the regions.

The truth of the matter is once the military took over with the Ironsi government, the regions already lost their powers with the unitary decree of the same Ironsi government.

The question is should we have expected anything less from the 1st military regime even if it wasn't headed by Ironsi?

Maybe not.

That should not stop the federal government from paying nothing less than N100k.

Let each state government define what their state economy can support, while the private sector also align with their state minimum wage.

That Peter works in Coca-Cola in Lagos while Andrew plays the same role for Coca-Cola in Ekiti, does not mean they must earn the same pay. The cost of living is not identical.

So they finally completed this project?

A law should be signed to prevent such wasteful spending by the FG and state governments.

Certainly less.

The Labour Unions must not settle for anything less than N100k per month.

Though the union leader refused to mention a specific amount, he said the new minimum wage must equal purchasing power to the value of N30,000 in 2019 and N18,000 in 2014.

This is what I have always asserted.

Anything less than this would be a failure on the part of Labour and the FG.

DaddyCoool:
Like I said you're showing all the signs of a drunk person. A senator confirmed in 2018 that they were being paid equivalent of $2000 base salary plus 13.5M, while minimum wage was 30K. Instead of being outraged, all you're focused on are ridiculous, nonsense semantics!
If that's not a drunk person I don't know what is!

Dude, the same Senator made it clear it was N700k, and that is the salary. The DOLLAR amount referenced in the news report is putting it in perspective for foreign readers.

You are actually an illiterate if you think your Senators ever earned in dollars.

Nothing else mentioned is their salary, but what do I expect from a beer parlour analyst to understand the difference between a salary and funds given to run the office of a Senator.

Nothing atrocious about this.

What is wicked is not being able to increase the minimum wage to an amount that is livable in the current economy.

If Labour settle for anything less than N100k, they have only cheated themselves.

DaddyCoool:
You're talking like you're drunk. Are you? How much is $2000?? Or how much is that 700K in today's Naira.
Stop defending grave injustice just because of a meaningless NL argument.
See the big picture - we ought open people's eyes and rile them up enough to hit the streets. That's the big picture!

You are too dumb if you think your Senator's salary is quoted in dollars.

The dollar amount there was for international readers to understand the value, and that was at the prevailing exchange rate then.

That's how your type spread misinformation on social media.

DaddyCoool:
Is the below from BBC proof enough for ya?
And it's from 2018!!

And I am sure you saw that the monthly salary is quoted as $2000, which was actually 700K as reported by Senator Shehu Sani.

You would do well to read the full report, which was corroborated by a Premium Time expose on the matter.

Their monthly salary was below N1m, and that was from 2015 to 2019, by the last assembly from 2019 to 2023, the monthly salary became N1.5m.

Or you want to claim the allowances used to run their office as Senators or employ assistants is part of their salary?

Or is it the constituency project funds of N200m that you want to claim is part of their salary?

She ensured her sister was hired into the DSS, but I remember reading that sister was kicked out of the DSS after the Jonathan regime ended.

DaddyCoool:
That guy just let you get away with talking crap.

You don't don’t care about the ratio. What a stupid thing to say in a discussion like this.
The entire discussion is about ratios and comparisons my friend.

Minimum wage in US is $30K per year. A US senator makes $174K per year.
While in our Nigeria a senator makes 37.5M per month while minimum wage is 30K!!!!!

See all the RATIOS AND COMPARISONS below!!

You can lie!

Chai!

Many of you are too ignorant because of the rubbish you feed yourselves on social media.

As at the last assembly from 2019 to 2023, the salary of a Senator is below N1m monthly.

I know you would want to claim all sorts, but you will never prove that the salary is up to N1m.

But I dare you to prove the rubbish before I will strip you naked and show how ignorant many of you are who just lament aimlessly out of ignorance.

I repeat, no Nigerian Senator had a monthly salary of up to N1m in the last assembly.

LegendHero:
I don’t care about the ratio.

The reason why I compared it was simply to tell people that a political appointee could earn more than the highest level civil servant by configuration.

The premise is that irrespective of the year of experience, it is not an anomaly if a political appointee earn more than the highest paid civil servant with 29 years working of experience.

Now who is less sensible between me and you? Ya’ll just jump into argument without factoring context.

Exactly what many that brought American data managed to help me prove, in a bid to argue that my defense is baseless.

Or how do you explain that a mere assistant in the white house can earn $150k that will take many professors even in the private Ivy league universities a sound number of years to attain such pay?

Or comparing such specialised government agencies as the FBI with the pay of Senators or such white house appointees.

Is that not like comparing CBN Governor or NNPC GMD pay with that of a Nigerian Senator?

Won't they still compare favourably?

Are those the type of civil servants to make a comparison benchmark either in USA or Nigeria?

What happened to the fire service chief, or the senior ministry officer?

Do their salaries reach anywhere close to what the white house is paying ordinary political appointees despite the many years it took the career civil servants to attain such senior civil service roles?

clog:
The worst part is you feel you have made sense.

Multiply that monthly pay of within 800k by 12 months in a year, then multiply Ur results by 7 (2016-2022)

Is your answer not above 70m?

Be sincere to your ancestors if you accumulate you nets in the he past 20yrs is it up to 70m?

You may even have skill than the young man. Hes DOB is 1991. Simply IM

See as you mention N70m like it is not some peoples' annual salary in Nigeria as mere technical professionals, not even management executive.

That is what you are calculating for 7years and even asking if someone can make it in 20years?

Poverty has handicapped you spiritually and psychologically.

Truly, Ignorance is bliss.

Na your type go attend job interview begin demand monthly salary of N200k when your fellow applicants are demanding monthly salary of N4.5m.

Showing clearly that you do not belong in that crowd.

tctrills:
You are beginning to ask unnecessary questions.
I gave you the average but you keep arguing.
Lastly, in the US, private universities pay much more that public.
The average salary for a private university professor in the us is 196k more than Trumps appointees so what really is your point?
You seem so eager to support corruption.

You are educated enough to be better than this very poor man logic that should only be vomited in a beer parlour.

Corruption because a political appointee in the Presidency is earning more than a senior civil servant?

The very thing that the records show is obtainable in the USA whose democratic system we have copied?

And, as you have asserted that some private university professors earn more than white house political appointees, same is obtainable in Nigeria where some private university Professors earn more than Aso villa political appointees.

So what again is the storm in a tea cup about?

tctrills:
Oga at least you can read. I have given you the average figures for both countries. This covers public and private institutions.
Work with that.
Trust me, Trump's appointees never made 2x the salary of the average professors.
Just do a 5 mins research and stop arguing.

Answer the question.

What do the private university professors earn in Nigeria top private universities?

lt is very easy to mention professors in Nigeria and show us civil servant salary, but you want to mention professors in USA but not stating that they are mostly not civil servants.

And even at that, I have still shown you that what the majority of those private university professors earn in the USA, is not up to what a mere young political appointee earned working in a job at the American Presidency.

DaddyCoool:
Is this guy totally daft or something? Guy is there something wrong with you?
You have Google. Make screenshot let's see!
I've shown mine! See below, AVERAGE salary of a US professor.
Are you nuts sir? What is the minium wage in US??
Something that is TOTALLY outrageous and you should be calling for riots you're here carping NONSENSE!

Are you so mentally handicapped to see that a mere political appointee is earning $150k to $180k and beyond, while the average professor is earning $100k, even when that average salary is due to pay from schools that are not public and the professors are not civil servants?

Yet you lambast a Nigerian political appointee salary because he earns above the pay of public servants which is the very thing I have shown you happens in America when political appointee salary is compared to civil servants salary, and higher than even most professors that are tenured in universities that is not civil service job.

Keep running around in circles.

tctrills:
At least you could have done your research before posting.
Now, you just posted the pay of presidents employees not a governor and the average was about 160k .
A professor in the US makes an average of 155k.
On the other hand, a professor in Nigeria makes 400k but you want to pay a government appointee in the millions. Don't you have conscience?
You are the problem of this country.

What do your private university professor earn in Nigeria? Do they earn chicken change?

What is ABTI American University or Covenant or Babcok paying to their senior professors, then compare it to the political appointee salary.

Or the US professor you are mentioning are they civil servants?

Why not mention what professors in state public universities are earning so we know you are still talking about civil servants.
