Big and overblown governments at all levels

# 70 Ministers
# Over twenty Special advisers (on what?)
# Every minister is entitled to 4 Special Assistants
# Senate President earns 88 Million Naira monthly
# His Deputy earns 55 Million Naira monthly
# Senators take home 24 Million naira monthly
# It takes 1.4 Trillion naira to mantain the NASS annually
# (Rememeber what Sanusi said about 25% of our GDP is used to feed people who only sit Tuesday - Thursday)
# Our 2012 budget has a deficit component to it. We are supposed to borrow about 1.6 TRILLION NAIRA.
# NASS will be paid from that!
# Aso Rock will use 1 Billion of it to eat!
# Aso Rock will use another 1 Billion to fuel generators.
# The Vice President will use 58 Million Naira to buy newspapers
# The office of Patience Jonathan will use 500 Million to speak bad english to you.
# We will spend close to 11.25 Billion on International Travels
# In 2012, some state governors will collect 100 Million as security votes MONTHLY
# They will continue to enjoy immunity clause!
# Your hospitals will have no drugs
# Your schools will still have no quality to train a world class scholar
# Your roads will still be death traps
# You will still be a local government unto yourself, providing water, security, power and social security!
# You will still pay more for petroleum products.
# You will pay toll in 2012 on federal interstate roads.

IT'S NO MORE ABOUT SUBSIDY ALONE:

# The American President has only 2 aircraft, our president has 9 in his fleet and voted money recently to buy 1 more!
British Prime Minister Cameron flies on BA.  Pope flies on Alitalia.

# The British prime Minister has only 2 official cars, our president has 23 in his pool and only recently voted 300m naira to buy 2 more bullet/bomb proof ones!

# Senators in the US earn about $6,000 dollars monthly and dats about what a university professor, or a director in a state dept, or a doctor wt 20yrs experience, or a teacher wt 25yrs experience earn too, but in Nigeria a senator earns  about 300million Naira per annum! Dats d salary of 25 vice chancellors, or 50 medical doctors, or 60 directors, or 500 school teachers!
Senate President David Mark earns 88million Naira per month.

# The US, with about 300million people, has 24 ministers, and 32 govt parastatals and commisions, Nigeria has 42 cabinet ministers, and over 50 government parastatals!

# America with about 300million 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 govt tells us we consume about 35million ltrs of petrol daily!

IS SUBSIDY REALLY THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA?
