SALARY STRUCTURE FOR OUR SO-CALLED ELECTED SERVANTS AT THE SENATE
I was reading this riding in a bus from garriki to GRA after seeing off my ex who came visiting from Esut (agbani campus). i know its not relatively relevant to most of you all, but i was riding in a damn bus as a fresh graduate broke as hell with no hope for a job tomorrow. get my point? my mom had just refused me going to take a job as media manager for an anambra state gubernatorial candidate, a few days back with the excuse that she doesn't want her son involved in politics and all, that i might be used for rituals. Im not much of an obedient child anyway and ive spent half on my life disobeying my parents and that alone shortens life spans according to the bible, and if i wanna see 50 years on earth, i better start obeying them now. so i chose not to take that job. but then i saw this on PM news. trust me i almost lost it in that damn bus. i was sweating when it was raining, it was 10th june on a monday around 7:30 pm, as anyone in Enugu it rained heavily that day with serious thunder claps, and i was sweating in the cold reasoning this money, took me so much energy to comport myself. like seriously??? is this what goes on in the bank accounts of these politicians? really?? and my parents are here telling me i shouldn't get into politics? if i hear say i wont join them!! since i was born, my parents have been saying 'e go beta', 'e go beta'... notin is bettering! see, i don't even want things to get better once i join politics. notin is bettering o!!! maybe from the next generation, if they want shaa... they say if you cant beat them, respect yourself, swallow your pride and join them. just imagine!! many of you still believe Dangote is the richest man in Africa, i pity una! below is just the legal money these people make in a month effortlessly o! lets not get into the illegal part that makes EFCC hunt em later. this is just the legal money they make... and some of you still believe politics is a dirty game, like sex is so clean yet most of us do it everyday! i say if you wanna get dirty, jump into the swamp! its obvious that the campaign about bad governance isn't helping at all, hell! it got Dele Giwa murked! got Saro Wiwa murked! got Fela murked! Rest their souls! Soyinka was lucky, he was sentenced to death before he was even arrested and he fled to USA where he was till abacha died! i aint having none of that! i want some of this money joor... as no be me spoil Nigeria, no be me go make am beta, since the ones at the top dont wanna do anything positive but collect fat checks let us at the base destabilize the base, i heard something like when the base fall apart, the top follows suit...lol i just keep wondering, those countries where the citizens keep protesting, how much do their leaders make? errmmm, hello! NOTHING!! just the occupy Nigeria we ran for some days in some states fucked them up big time! i enjoyed the devastating looks on their faces on TV trying to give fake patriotic speeches, it was so obvious they were loosing money...lol, which by the way is the only thing they care about. you may not understand till you see their salary! check it!
