THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND/THIS IS THE TIME TO FIGHT FOR CHANGE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH NIGERIAN YOUTHS :A Nigerian senator earns N240 million (about $1.7 million) in salaries and allowances every year. Every year, a member of the House of Reps earns N204 million (about $1.45) in salaries and allowances. There are 109 Senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives. Now put things together and you could go crazy. An American Senator earns $174,000 while a UK parliamentarian earns about $64,000 a year. So, a Nigerian Senator can pay nine US senators and still have some change to play with. He can pay nineteen UK parliamentarians and still not be finished. Barack Obama, president of the richest economy in the world, earns $400,000 per annum; so a Nigerian senator can pay him and still be left with $1.3 million. The British Prime Minister earns $190,000 a year; so a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives can pay him and still have more than $1.2 million left. If they were six, our house member can pay them. Even if they were seven, our senator can pay them. The Senate President is on a special monthly salary of N88.33 million, while his deputy is on N50 million; every three months, ten principal officers of the Senate each receive N120 million while other principal officers earn N78 million each for “constituency projects”. Indeed, it is suffering to be an informed Nigerian. But it is time to show them we are not dumb fools
