Even at that you cannot in anyway compare N216,000 an average Nigerian struggle to go home with annually as the total amount of the N18,000 national minimum wage with N9,740,310 which a member of the House of Representatives goes home with annually. I hope you don’t expect me to tell you how many years it will take an average Nigerian to earn such amount of money, do you? I guess the answer is no. And yet Nigeria still complain of poor economy. God will help us.
