By now everyone with access to newspapers and internet would have seen and read on the enormous efforts been put into words by Jibrin in his battle to oust Dogara as a fraudulent and corrupt POS. Jibrin's bravery and continued outputs is very commendable and a breath of fresh air in these difficult times.

However, he would have been quickly aided in his brave task if he had availed himself of the following cheap devices and saved himself a whole lot of headache and trouble in the process.

Fighting corruption is harder these days. For students of politics and current politicians who have Nigeria's good interest at heart and who is tired of watching the nation sink further and the collective progress of the entire nation savagely stunted without remorse from mindless looting, this is for you:

The moment Jibrin has meticulously established the fact that Dogara (either directly or thru any of his messengers of associates) have resolved to tamper with the budget and are not backing down from the dark path, he will take a practical leap by acting normal and getting everything on tape (Video and Audio).

In hindsight, he could have easily achieved that with the help of these devices -

Very stupid to blame a movie. I know the OP must not be a child right?

Why not blame the stupid leaders that can't even manage a national airline for the country, or a medical center instead of going abroad. Nigerians always looking to blame the wrong parts.

Sheathe your sword and read it in full first.

It is an oft stated belief that Jonathan's loss at the elections kick-started new agitations for a secession. This is just an event that helped it along.

Half of a Yellow Sun - The Movie, is why all the problems re-started. A lot of us here on nairaland bashes the Nigerian Movie Board when they delayed the release of this movie in Nigeria...perhaps those in the board have a gift of foresight.

Ginaz:
nonsense

How so sweetheart. You think we should waste a few lives and get separated?

The tragedy of an unfulfilled dream.

The innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

The minute pains endured by many.

The catastrophic end to a utopian way of life.

This heartrending war image from the HYS is bound to enrage a modern day IPOB into an uncontrollable frenzy. What a way to suffer for a dream!

His land breached and set ablaze. The sanctity of the numerous sacrifices made upon the land by the various ancestors violated by the fiery and unforgiving napalm bombs.

A way of life firmly and tragically uprooted from its ancestral roots. The movie scenes shock the systems of IPOBs. It challenges their sense and spirit of patriotism. An IPOB yearns for vengeance. S/he is ready to forgive if s/he is allowed to go. S/he is ready to die if he doesn’t get what he wants. There is a sharp knife clenched between the teeth of an IPOB individual.

*Wince*

A sense of déjà vu descends… These images wrenches for the lips of an IPOB a gritty curse against the ZOO as he again confronts the scene that throws his people and the subsequent generations into turmoil that has made their political future indefinite and their identity shredded and unrecognizable.

The powerful images elicit a sense of forbidden doom and mark the period when THINGS BEGIN TO FALL APART.

It will take more than the appointment of a son of Biafra as the new NNPC GMD to wipe off all these sad memories.

Dr. Chinua Achebe has made indelible prints in the minds of patriotic IPOBs about the beauty of family institution and values.

Time and again IPOBs have been reminded through books and speeches about how very great the Ibo family institutions was, and how it has helped bred generations and generations of very smart, intelligent and beautiful Biafrans.

These images from the movie drags such soulful sentiments from the hidden corners of their memories and reinforce their faiths that the only way the once-great-but-now-corrupted family values can be returned back to greatness is through a separation and a Ibo cultural renaissance.

It is easy to imagine the angst of an IPOB individual as s/he watches the evocative scenes of the glorious days of past when they mingle freely with the cream of the society.
They dance.

They make moves.

They command respect from Caucasians who appreciate they enviable traits of been able to meet their undeniable business acumen with serious pleasure and fun.

Sentimental IPOBS are ready to shed blood to bring back these good times and make it their reality again, and this time within their own land.

Genevieve Nnaji – A true Biafran daughter. An epitome of enduring class. This image serves as an inspiration and a constant reminder to IPOBs that they have what it takes to stand out in a class of their own. That they do not have to bow down to anyone. They have it all.


This image evokes in the IPOBs, a period of sweetness and class. It reminds them of their social standing and how well they can hold their own in a social circle. An IPOB coming across this scene in the Half of a Yellow Sun movie is reminded of a better time now lost and forgotten and buried under the futile efforts of their past heroes. They yearn to have all this back…to have their own say about issues concerning them in a setting of their own making.

Consider yourself forgiven if you have not seen the movie - Half of a Yellow Sun.

It is an oft stated belief that Jonathan's loss at the elections kick-started new agitations for a secession. This is just an event that helped it along.

Half of a Yellow Sun - The Movie, is why all the problems re-started. A lot of us here on nairaland bashes the Nigerian Movie Board when they delayed the release of this movie in Nigeria...perhaps those in the board have a gift of foresight.

I am citizen of Nigeria. This is simply my opinion. A 'de-construction'

Ferdinandu:
My Friend though it is obvious that the Senators take home pay is outrageous, what you and whoever that did that calculated is wrong. Do they pay severance package, car allowance, leave allowance and some others on a monthly basis. Don't exaggerate the Truth to gain attention

Do you have a calculator? Now might be a good time to use it. Afterwards, you can come back and refute stuffs. In the meantime, don't be a sadist please.

Break down of annual salaries of a Nigerian Senator :

Basic Salary (B.S) – N2,484 245.50

Hardship Allowance (50 per cent of B.S) – N1,242 122.70

Constituency Allowance (200 per cent of B.S) – N4,968 509.00

Newspapers Allowance (50 per cent of B.S) – N1, 242 122.70

Wardrobe Allowance (25 per cent of B.S) – N621, 061.37

Recess Allowance (10 per cent of B.S) – N248, 424.55

Accommodation (200 per cent of B.S) – N4,968 509.00

Utilities (30 per cent of B.S) – N828 081.83

Domestic Staff (70 per cent of B.S) – N1 863,184.12

Entertainment (30 per cent of B.S) – N828,081.83

Personal Assistants (25 per cent of B.S) –N621, 061.12

Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (75 per cent of B.S) – N1, 863 184.12

Leave Allowance (10 per cent of B.S) – N248, 424.55

Severance Gratuity (300 per cent of B.S) –N7, 452 736.50

Car Allowance (400 per cent of B.S) – N 9,936 982.00

TOTAL MONTHLY SALARY = N29 479 749.00, ($181 974.00)

TOTAL YEARLY SALARY = N29 479 749.00 x 12 = N353, 756 988.00 ($2, 183 685.00)

EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162

LEGISLATORS PAY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM

Britain – $105 400.00
United States – $174 000.00
France – $85 900.00
South Africa – $104 000.00
Kenya – $74 500.00
Saudi Arabia – $64 000.00
Brazil – $157 600.00
Ghana – $46 500.00
Indonesia – $65 800.00
Thailand – $43 800.00
India – $11 200.00
Italy – $182 000.00
Bangladesh – $4,000.00
Israel – $114 800.00
Hong Kong – $130 700.00
Japan – $149 700.00
Singapore – $154 000.00
Canada – $154 000.00
New Zealand – $112 500.00
Germany – $119 500.00
Ireland – $120 400.00
Pakistan – $3 500.00
Malaysia – $25 300.00
Sweden – $99 300.00
Sri Lanka – $5 100.00
Spain – $43 900.00
Norway – $138 000.00

In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country’s GDP per person, that of a British member of parliament is just 2.7 times. 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.”
