Like Seriously, Why Are We Allowing This Nonsense in Nigeria?

Nigeria is spending about 500million Naira on the President, about 400million Naira on the Senate President annually and the Federal Government, with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as Minister of the Economy, who used to work with the World Bank, where accountability is a serious business, is telling us that there is no money for infrastructure and we have to go and borrow, KD Blog observed.

DETAILS: The American President has only TWO aircraft, but Nigeria's President has a total of NINE (9) in his fleet and has voted money recently to buy ONE more, to make it TEN!

The British Prime Minister has only TWO official cars, Nigeria's president has 23 cars in his pool and has now voted another 300Million Naira to buy more bullet/bomb proof cars...
* Senators in the US earn about $6,000 dollars monthly and that’s about what a university professor, or a director in a state department, or a doctor with 20years experience, or a teacher with 25years experience
earn too in the United States of America. 
But Here in Nigeria, a Senator earns about 245 million Naira per annum! That’s the salary of 25 vice chancellors, or 50 medical doctors, or 60 directors, or 500 school teachers. How sad!

*The US, almost the size of Africa with over 300million people have 24 ministers, and 32 government parastatals and commissions.
But Nigeria has a whooping 42 cabinet ministers, and over 50 government parastatals!

*America with over 300million people and more mileage to drive consumes 39million litres of petrol daily. 
But Nigeria has 150million people, out of which about 60% live in rural areas! Yet our government tells us we consume about 35million litres of petrol daily!
Fellow Nigerians, is it the government that is deceiving us or we are the ones fooling ourselves?
