Here is how much the 12 leading World President and Prime Ministers get as their annual salaries. Not monthly but annually. President Obama leads the twelvesome with $400,000. South African President Jacob Zuma is the only African President in the list with an annual salary of $223, 500. Despite running the 2nd largest economy in the world, the Chinese President is the 12th in the ranking with an annual salary of $22,000.
I wish we could be more sincere in Nigeria. We are too secretive. Our leaders’ emoluments are far ahead of all these ones. The reason why politics in Nigeria is a do or die affairs is because it has become the most lucrative business in Nigeria & this is an error.
Definitely, no. There are too many hidden payments to our leaders or representatives at all levels. God bless motherland.
And these are “honestly earned” salaries, decided by their representatives. Can we compare these salaries with that of their Nigeria’s counterparts – president, or perhaps, senators or governors?
