We watch the Rape!

Right, Perfect. This just has to be the first thought in my head, on what should have been a perfect morning. I mean, couldn't I have at least had a nice, long cold shower, big English breakfast and maybe done some productive work. But no, I had to wake up, feeling the activist.
On second thoughts, maybe that's just me waking up broke, I doubt I would be, if I were making almost 30million naira quarterly. Like really, what does anyone do to earn such an allowances? They didn't even have the decency to give them better names!
Basic Salary - N2, 484, 245.50.
Hardship Allowance  @ 50% of Basic Salary - N1, 242, 122.70 (what stupid hardship?, I have a sneaky feeling, that quite a number of Nigerians would like to show them true hardship)
Consistuency allowance @ 200% of BS  -  N4, 968, 509.00
Furniture Allowance @ 300% of BS - N7, 452, 736.50
Newspaper allowance @  50% - N1, 242, 122.70 ( And how many of them can read, really).
Wardrobe allowance @ 25%  - N621, 061.37
Recess Allowance@ 10%: - N248, 424.55
Accommodation @ 200%  - N4, 968, 509.00.
Utilities @ 30%  - N828, 081.83.
Domestic Staff @ 35%  - N863, 184.12.
Entertainment @ 30% - N828, 081.83.
Personal Assistance @ 25%  - N621, 061.37.
Vehicle Maintenance Allowance @ 75%  - N1, 863, 184.12.
Leave Allowance @10% - N248, 424.55.
One off payments (As advised by SagamiteSeverance gratuit)y @ 300%  -N7, 452, 736.50(Once they get fired, like they deserve anymore.)
Motor Vehicle Allowance @ 400% of BS - N9, 936, 982.00  - Every Four Years
And I'm thinking, how many newspapers does a Senator have to read, to warrant N1, 242, 122.70. I mean, if I read 10papers everyday, for 1 year, it would come to about N730,000.00.
Does somebody out there know how much the president of the United States earns? $400,000 per annum, I hear. The President of God's own Country. Our very own senators take home about N27.2million per quarter, and are desperately looking to turn that figure to N42million per quarter.
So, it's no wonder I'm waking up in such a foul mood, and it just got worse, because, I just remembered something else. The Independence Day budget! The Rape Budget! Oh no, don't even get me started on that one, please spare me the agony and find out all on your own.
