    In terms of lawmakers' salaries as a ratio of GDP
    per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the
    salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the
    country's GDP per person, that of a British
    member of parliament is just 2.7 times.
    The average salary of Nigerian worker based on
    the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So,
    the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 =
    N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
    Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator =
    $2,183,685.00.
    Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
    It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638
    years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian
    Senator.
