Four times this year, each of the 360 members of the House of Representatives will receive ₦35M  as "constituency allowance." In conservative terms, that's $300,000 per member per quarter. At the end of the year, then, each member of the House would have collected a cool $1.2 million.
That's not all...hold your breath for this- Each of the 109 senators collects ₦48 million per quarter. At the end of the year, each senator's haul will be in the neighborhood of $1.7 million.

Not bad for doing nothing right?
