much wider. While the salary of a

country’s GDP per person, that of a
British member of parliament is just 2.7
times.
The average salary of Nigerian worker
based on the national minimum wage is
N18,000.00, So, the yearly salary is
N18,000.00 x 12 = N216,000.00 ($
1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian
Senator = $2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 =
1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker
1,638 years to earn the yearly salary of a
Nigerian Senator.
