It is even for a year ![]() #50,000 for the president. This was when Nigeria was rolling in oil money and the wicked,foolish politicians said they didn't know what to do with the exorbitant money at their disposal. What about building massive infrastructures and industries all over Nigeria. No sir,they embezzled monies like kilode,making one and most of them richer than even Nigeria. The money is still with them and Nigeria is borrowing money right,left and centre. Today,a senator is earning almost #30 million a month..lol 2 Likes |

Akinboboz: Na them from the brown roof region, as criminology dey for their body, they are ready to defend anything called crime. He's taking about building mansion and buying cars, but he refused to mention how good and safe people were living then. Ikpu Nkita |

4tomandchi:Between 1978 and 1998, the naira fell to the dollar by over 35x between 1998 and now, the naira has fallen to the dollar by over 71x. Clearly both are failures but it keeps getting worse. 1 Like |

Go back to 1979 then. Go and check how much politician are paid in that same 1979 in UK , , , US etc compare to today then you will understand not only Nigeria change occurred to because many of you just don't reason and check things proper with the bran God gave you and started throwing insults. I'm sick of complaining how much any damn politician earn its so annoying wasting my time on nonsense what matters to me is their performance not damn how much they take, anyone angry with their pay can pls go and .politics ever since Biblical time life never balanced. Is your dad wearing that same shoe, clothes he was wearing in 1979 today? It is only obi and buhari the only person I have ever seen in my life that claimed they are still wearing same clothes, same shoe, same boxer short, same cap, same wristwatch since 1930 till date and these 2 bitch are nothing but a glorify political scammers. |

Quarterpast: OP, the amount recorded for the presidency at that time is now equivalent to about $80,000 in present-day Nigeria. Essentially, politicians—both past and present—have been draining Nigeria's treasury since time immemorial. 1 Like |
