The problem is, the youths are not ready for change. This is why they are easily bought over to silence the critics of corrupt politicians. Don't you see the 40 men laptop crew here on nairaland? Most registered in June of this year and all their posts center around defending Jonathan Goodluck. Market women too have been bought over by Patience Jonathan who sing her praise to high heavens.

So, how can there be a revolutionary change in Nigeria when it seems like most Nigerians are not ready for change? Nigerians are not united and have never been. We have blatantly refused to speak with one voice. Maybe, when more countries treat Nigerians around the world with downright hostility like we have been seeing lately, maybe just maybe, we the youths will wake up. When we realize that we have nowhere to run to anymore because countries are denying us visas enmasse and those abroad are consistently being treated like crap, no one will remind us to put sentiments aside and start a revolution and send these corrupt politicians packing. Until then, let's keep on doing what we do best: suffering and smiling.

PS: I will be back on this thread to make sure my post did not grow wings and fly away into oblivion since lately a few of my posts have been mysteriously disappearing. Peace, out!



nice comment...your post won't fly... grin grin

akin33: At this jucture, let us stage a protest to stop this broad day stealing. The PDP has succeeded in making themselves empire. If we keep silence, it will continue. The salaries of a senate or reps enough to develope a community. Chai! This evil must stop. Revolution to chase PDP away in 2015 election is sure. Graduates, atisan, businessmen, man & woman, let us come together to stop these few people that are pocketing our wealth. Imagine, in d midst of unnemployment and hunger. A person earn such amout of money and dnt care to create jobs.

Have you seen any CPC or ACN legislator that refused his/share? If they are strong enough to determine who emerged as speaker and strong enough to start an impeachment campaign, why are they not strong enough to start a salary reduction or anti wastage campaign? Hmmm

In the United states...a senator or the president will recieve 100% of his salary for life even if he or she only serves 4 years.....If the Nigerian senator and president does not recieve salary for life after only 4 years,then maybe the the USA has an overall higher salary...Do nigerian senators and presidents recieve their salary for life??

And thats the most unfortunate aspect of this issue. How can the entire masses be so indifferent to issues to affect both their present and future lives? I have concluded long ago that until we are ready to wrest power from these crooks, we're doomed. These are issues that dont need docile and dead prayers.

Because that's not the agenda. The agenda is to return the power back to the core north with the support of the south west. They own the oil blocks and need to renew their licences by 2016. The only hindrance is the middlebelt and south south!

shocked shocked shocked return power back to the North?as per?

And you still wonder why non of them want a sovereign national conference undecided? Abi you wan come put sand for their garri?.....you wan scatter their hustle?

Nigeria is one massive scam (right from the late 60's to date), and if you're not in gov't; are not close to the corridors of power; have not been in gov't in the past to take your own cut; if you're not a gov't contractor or rent-seeker; if you're not a top civil servant; if you don't have a close relative that is in or has been near gov't in anyway; if non of the aforementioned applies to you, then there's a high probability that you're well and trully fuc/ked!!!

Thieving greedy scum, the lot of them.
One big scam from inception you say, So who are the Scammers?
one thing i know is westerners never agitated for Nigeria. They couldn't have been the ones targeting anybody's resources from pre independence. Most of our leaders guilty though.
Re: Nigerian Senators Earn More Than Barack Obama by Godogwu: 4:13pm On Jul 27, 2012
I really don't think this post is true to the letter, but I'm not exactly writing it off. I know senators in Nigeria earn good money, heck Arthur Nzeribe is my relative. But when I see things like ; the president of china earning only $10,633 and the president of Zimbabwe earning just $18,000 annually I find that very preposterous, hence I don't believe the source of this info hook line and sinker. How come the source only detailed out the many allowances of just the Nigerian senators, how about the others? So there can be an actual comparison. Nevertheless, I would agree that GEJ earns more than Obama in general with allowances included, but I wouldnt say the same for a senator. Please in order for me to believe this, I need proof from a very reputable source.

The Nigerian senator does not receive the salary for life but it is still way way too ridiculous. What is more ridiculous is that this is official salaries. I mean, if we are talking about embezzlement, it would be another matter. But to think that they are legitimately collecting these is just crazy. Because some might argue that the executive and others are stealing money but then you can expose and stop monies being stolen by them. What the legislators collect, you cannot stop. It is constitutional.

Stale news. Itsay Sagay, Sanusi, Wole
Soyinka and even OBJ have all in the
past spoken out and expressed alarm
over this group of people milking the
country dry in the name of legislating.
but they don't care.

This man think before you coment. When OBJ was d president, what did he do about it?. He even encourage it because of his selfish interest and now he is blabing because he is no longer in office.
And what has this got to do with GEJ, these has been thier before he came to office.
