Benue politician raises eyebrows after heoffered N20k salary for a cook "who can stand pressure and cook well"

A Benue politician, Takema Akom Smith's job posting has raised eyebrows online.

The APC chieftain, who was an aide to former Benue Governor, Ortom before defection, made a post on Facebook, saying he needs a female cook for his guest inn and offered a salary of N20K.

“I need a cook in my guest inn, someone who stays around mkar. Someone who can stand pressure and cook well.
Salary : 20k.
Preferably a lady,”

he wrote on Thursday October 24.

The location matters..

Some jobs, there salary might be meager but the aside could even be more than the salary self

I like Nigerian politicians

They are the most emotionally detached people on earth

The cruelty is outta the world

I wish to be like them someday. Wicked people tend to live longer

No minimum wage?

This is how we usually read on Nairaland frontpages atimes about how a Cook tried to poison her masters food..........Why wont she poison the food when you pay peanut for the cooking services

Imagine to "stand pressure and cook well" for 20k.
I no blame am.

Firstly which year was that

Heartless political leaders is just too much in Nigeria, especially in this APC coven of witchcraft party .
The present day political class in Nigeria, only care about themselves and their cronies, reason for the too much hardships and sufferings in the country.

For 20k? 20k is too small even for the remote villages in Benue, not to talk of Makurdi.

And talking of asides, tips is not salary and is not constant, so employees cannot work with that.

These people are truly anti human. 20k thar cannot feed a family of 3 in a day. Politicians can never die well.

Na poisonn him go chop last last 🤣🤣

He even said , someone that can withstand pressure

Sir, for 20k salary, that's alot of pressure in this current climate

You are a very foolish human being. What is 20k in today's economy?
Something not up to $13.

Clarify the ASIDE pls ..

You are already like them. Nigerian politicians are just a good representation of the Nigerian society. They are not different from the average Nigerian.
I don't understand why people expect their politicians to be different from themselves.
Your government is a microcosm of your society.

When Nigeria is full of good people, then the politicians will also be good.
