I don't believe it. Hw come he spend more than N2trilion on campaing.

You better show respect. He is still the president and wont be former president until May 29th.

Having said that, some company CEOs earn more salary than Jonathan. Where he would be killing it would be in allowances and gifts.

And what's d fuss about?.... not a big deal if you ask me

That's not enticing. I make more than that in a month. I feel ashamed that a President has to earn that low. I cant take the insults and earn that low.

shoro niyen?

Lmaoo. Comic relief from the virtual billionaire.

Second time I ll be seeing the topic on front page!

Good

I've read this crap before

wow

So why now?

He earns more than that...

Its GEJs salary not his refunded loot discovered by a switerland bank. The major reason for all this unnecessary information that have no input to national development is to render GEJ totally corrupt and unelectable or seen as a statesmen in the long term.

We will be very glad to see GMB reduce the salary he earns,to be channeled for the development,that will be another quantum change.

Op you be goat o!

He's still your president till 29th May 2015 lest you forget

*modified*
After the correction, what's the big deal in what you just put down here?

I was expecting 10 times the figure you put up here

You just disturbed my precious sleep for nothing

I even thought it was salary alert

...Another FAKE PUBLICATION BASED ON SPECULATIONS..Gimme something real..

That's just salary. Who doesn't know that the salaries of civil servants are comparatively small to that of established private institutions but come see their allowances..

That sum is the taxable and not the money earned. Some allowances are not taxable which is more than the quaoted sum
