Subject: [EKITIPANUPO] Re: Ifaki Road How Omisore Duped Segun Oni of N400m
This singularly innovative "dry month" versus "wet month" dichotomy of the "ancien regime" - ee get as ee be - but actually the term "peculiar" is now (or has long been) an OFFICIAL term in Nigerian salary (or money-related) legalese, particular in terms of ALLOWANCES. However, I only learnt about it RECENTLY when reading about VC-ship within the rank of public servants, and what I have to face with respect to ASUU + NASU + SSANU + SATHURAI etc. (the unions).
The arithmetic is simple:
Total Salary package = Basic Salary + General Allowances + Peculiar Allowances
(based on (that every body (based on the NATURE of your
Grade + Step in your Grade takes, job eg hazard + special duties +
level) with amount indexed security needs, special demands etc.)
%-wise on your Basic salary)
These are OFFICIAL terms, and I am NOT making them up.
The (General + Peculiar) sum can be anywhere from 5 to 10 times the Basic Salary. Furthermore, it is not ALL the Peculiar Allowances that are disclosed up-front or that or on paper, but they can be negotiated with your Authorizing Body.
Nigeria, indeed, is a PECULIAR country.
