Senators Approve Life Pension For Themselves by OmerianConsult: 9:32am On Jul 17, 2013
l just saw this on Channels TV news. Nigerian senators yesterday voted massively in support of life pension for the members of the national assembly (house of reps members and themselves). The voting, which was done using the newly installed electronic voting board (reminds me of Who Wants to be a Millionaire audience) also killed the bill for local government autonomy.

Truly, Nigerian legislators behave more like conscience-less crooks than responsible lawmakers.

Sovereign National Conference or Revolution is long over due in Nigeria.


They have not and will never pass a single bill that would benefit unemployed graduates or the poor Nigerian masses.


This can only happen in Nigeria and people are quiet as if nothing happened, part of the character which qualifies Nigerians as the most gullible creature ( beings ) presently existing on earth.

Guys let's be reminded that there ACN and CPC members of Ϯh℮ senate. They all voted for this. Amaechi who's now a hero for Ϯh℮ opposition now also signed into law that Rivers people will build a house for him in Abuja and PH when his tenure expires.

So guys we all can see that our political elites are Ϯh℮ same. Siamese twins, they don't care about us. They are all wicked.

I'll support any revolution that will target all past and present political office holders from councillor to President. Irrespective of Ϯh℮ region or religion

Did both ACN,CPC and ANPP senators vote for this bill?huh? So APC senators voted overwhelmingly to enrich themselves till they die? Even Tinubu's wife? If Tinubu and Buhari cannot influence their wives and members of their party in the upper house to kick against this crazy bill then they should hide their head in shame. I thought Buhari is an anti-corruption czar? So APC senators connived with PDP senators to vote for this anti-masses. Well Liar Mohammed hasn't released a press statement regarding this obnoxious bill? Hypocrites everywhere!

Indeed, no human government have people's interest in mind before seeking for political power, they are only clamouring to be there for their own interests.

Citizens, BEWARE!

it is things like this that make me support GEJ. if i look around and see how bad these politicians are i can't help but say that President Jonathan is God's gift to this country. take a look of how the presidency is sruggling to pass the budget in the house because these dishonourable members have slashed a good portion of capital projects and allocated it to themselves as constituency projects. When Madam Ngozi talks they will say its blackmail.http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-deepening-budget-crisis/152776/

They are all the same.........CPC o, ACN o, PDP o, APGA,o........., they are all selfish, they are all there for their selfish interest, not for anyone.
Anyone of them that condemns GEJ is only being unfair to him and untrue to the populace.

This kind of article exposing bi-partisan egregious theft by our politicians doesn't usually make front page as it doesn't follow the formula of pro or anti-GEJ stories which the paid agents and bigots that infest this forum prefer.
