What you will read in the post below are very clear indications that we
are in serious trouble in this potentially great country, courtesy
of the...
level of greed our political office holders exhibit, in the management
of our commonwealth, in the midst of obvious poverty in all parts of the
country.
I came across these facts as presented by a patriotic citizen and
decided to share with you all, so we can be better informed about the
goings on in our economic and political space.

with 20yrs experience, or a teacher with 25yrs experience earn too. But
in Nigeria a senator earns 245million Naira per annum! Dats d salary of
25 vice chancellors, or 50 medical doctors, or 60 directors, or 500
schl teachers!
# # The US, almost d size of Africa with about 500million people have 24
ministers, and 32 government parastatals and commissions, Nigeria with 150million people has 42 cabinet ministers, and over 50 government parastatals with its attendant cost!
# # America with about 500million people and more mileage to drive consumes 39million litres of petrol daily, Nigeria
with 150million people, 60% out of which live in remote areas, yet our
government tells us we consume about 35million litres of petrol daily!
And a last one!!! President Jonathan last bought fuel with his own money in 1996 shortly before coming on board the NDDC! So also is a whole lot of them in government!
It is time to re-think and re-define. We have to remove money from politics. Political office holders should earn what civil servants earn. That's what they are: CIVIL SERVANTS!"
