born9ice: My problem with Nigerian youths is that we dont act to conquer our fears.We should not always sit on the fence.The time is now, their excesses must be checked.As youths of our beloved country, we should learn how to fight for our future.Some old illiterates cant be pushing us this way inother to grow money for their generation while we sit and suffer for not making a statement.Am not saying we should go the way of Eygpt.But something must be done by us.A caller suggested on radio this morning, that we should match to the streets on october 1st not as a political party but as Voice of Nigeria Youths to protest that their wages be made public and cut down to 50percent. 22.5m Nigerians majority being youths voted for this mess, which other fight do you want us to fight? we have fought at the polls and majority have spoken, what can a man do? sorry! i cant fight beyond the polls, give your life a meaning by selecting credible candidates at the polls.during elections, your likes harden their heart to the voice of reason, after voting in charlatans you want people who voted wisely to carry Guns with you? don't you think you are being too ambitious? Anambrarians had an Akunyili vs Ngige during senatorial elections, they refused Akunyili (who performed in NAFDAC) and chose Ngige, Ngige has gone and slept for two years with no single bill, Anambrarians are warming up to give him the Govt house at the expense of a tested Soludo (who performed at CBN), you see, when he gets there and start misbehaving, the same youths will ask us to fight. The first arm i will pick up in revolution, be rest assured, that my first bullet will go to the revolution youth leader before the politicians. channel all your revolution energy to mass mobilization for credible people with pedigree and I will support you, if it is to sample my brand new skin for Mopol to test his riffle, then i am not as stup1d as you think. 7 Likes |

MightyThor: Why wont they reject it? they know what they are getting for doing practically noting and in true Nigerian Fashion they rather continue with it than effect a change to suit the current economic situation of the Country. You've sed all I wanted to say and more. Spot on! |

Thieves standing as one. What I want to ask is, when is the military going to round up these mofos and put bullets in their heads? People keep saying we would be worse off under military governance but I swear these democracy thieves are choking the life out of our collective soul. I don't remember things being this bad with the past military, these legislators are lavishing crucial public fund and brazenly justifying such, even slyly asking 'whatchu gon do about it'! Somebody terminate these common thieves abeg!! |

Naija I hail thee. We will always come to Nairaland and rant without actually taking any actions or proposing any solutions. We all know that we have rogues in the legislature and that they are very well paid rogues but every election year we go to the polls and elect the same set of rogues into office again. I am sure that most of the people here ranting will not do any better if put in the same situation. Naija is the one country I know where people who are actually qualified and suited for elective offices actually shy away from politics. These same people will now come to Nairaland and say all sorts of things about the thugs that they allowed to take those offices in the first place. |

See how all of them are singing thesame songs. What is wrong if the sacrifice begins from the National Assembly? I can bet my Lunch on it that they will never agreed for part time legislating. |

These bunch of mediocre and illiterate people are the problems of Nigeria. They nothing on a good day, go on countless recess for months and yet take chunks of the income of nation. They are voted to correct the wrongs this guy said but they defend their own pocket. I swear if i were president for a, i would slash considerably the income of elected officers particularly these thieves and government workers to discourage politics and encourage hardwork and innovation by handiwork cos people that have failed in active areas of life are now into politics |

greaterlove: This guys are funny, Ezekwesili said you have gulped over a trillion naira in 8yrs and you are still arguing that your allocation is only 150billion per year, except my arithmetic is that bad, that still makes it over a trillion naira in 8 years, she is right, they should just own up.lol.... Exactly |

Nigeria and it problems |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by Dagoma: 12:27pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
I think Ezekwesili is right, she says over 1trillion in 8 yrs, and these Hons confirmed that their budget is 150 billion annually. So, by simple calculation, these Hons swallowed 1.2 trillion in 8 yrs. This is with the exception of 'GHANA MUST GO's' from MDAs and Presidency. Something need to be done urgently. May God change it for better. |

“In a democracy, we should not just concentrate on what we spend but we should also look at what we get in the process. We should do a cost benefit analysis of running the National Assembly as a vital institution of democracy,” he said. This guy thinks he is talking to players of Dundee United aka confirmed mumgus abi na wetin? What did Nigerians get in the process? How many bills were raised and passed into laws by the supposed LAWMAKERS and how did they address issues of concern to the people? Or how eles do we measure how this "vital institution of democracy" has performed with the millions they RECEIVE from us while other workers in the same government are paid 18k minimum wage. Even sef useless governments such as the state of Osun will be paying 8k net under cover of some senseless empowerment of OYES and still expect to be praised. Only in mumuland!!! 2 Likes |

Samoo01: ‘‘The American democracy could be said to be onYou are correct my brother. The bicameral legislature is too expensive & ineffective for our democracy. The parliamentary system of government will reduce the cost of governance. |

You expect a man to willingly piss into his feeding trough? That is a miracle in the size of water to wine proportion. That kind of change can only be enforced violently from outside not peacefully from within. |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by YoshiMaster: 1:23pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
anonimi: Thank you very much for noticing that bit, "what we get in the process". The guy must think its like dolling out cash to get a Bentley, and then admiring the Bentley as what you got in the process of spending all that money. What have we gotten as Nigerians to justify all the money they make? For the record 150 billion, out of 4 trillion, is not small. If the 4 trillion was meant for 1000 people, then you can say that 150 billion is small, but that's not the case. |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by YoshiMaster: 1:26pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
mbulela: You expect a man to willingly piss into his feeding trough? That's why its called a sacrifice, and lets be real, they wouldn't be sacrificing much even if we halved their pay. When I was working as an Engineer on projects, I used to charge less when the project budget was being reached. That showed sacrifice on my part to the company, and helped them value me more during rough times in the economy. |

Yoshi-Master:You should start by joining a political party. |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by YoshiMaster: 1:34pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
henryboff: I think I might do that, I just don't like the way political parties operate in Nigeria, where they oppose everything by the opposition whether good or bad. I heard you can run as an independent, but I don't know how much success one can get from being an independent candidate within the current political atmosphere in Nigeria. Guess I will have to join a party, and hope that I get there someday to be able to make a difference. |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by McLuhan(m): 1:38pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
The hour is soon coming when the garrulous mouths of these thieving politicians will be permanently shut. These are the same parasites who for donkey's years now have been sucking the nation's lifeblood, emasculating the economy, and rendering the younger generations hopeless. The grand denouement of this political farce cannot be far away. The milk cow is almost lifeless now and the milking cannot long continue. Something has to happen, and that "happening" will not spare any political leeches, regardless of partisan affiliation. |

Yoshi-Master:The political situation can only change when people who want positive change start by participating in the process. You may not win at first but your mere presence sends a message. |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by mbulela: 2:09pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
Yoshi-Master:you obviously do not know the lot you are dealing with. They are in it for the pay. The only way they will tamper with the status quo is if they see a way to plunder more. Expecting a rational decision from barbarians at a city center is laughable. This guys have moved from the corner shops,they now own the city center. Poo is about to get worse. Believing otherwise is delusional. |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by mbulela: 2:12pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
henryboff:I uswed to believe that epistle of yours. People who want positive change have been participating for a while. Truth is the stench is stronger than they first imagined and in the process of sending out a message,they themselves have been converted to the camp of the barbarians. you and i know many men and women who joined the polity with good intentions. Where are they today? The system is structured to contain only barbarians. Only an external force can halt this fast moving train. Applying brakes intermittently is futile. |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by Odyluv: 2:32pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
Yes, we all need to demand for the reduction of the cost of governance holistically, starting from the president and his SAs, national assembly to ministries to parastatals and agencies and so on. The time public office becomes less financialy attractive, then there wud b less criminals fighting for the seats |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by YoshiMaster: 2:43pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
mbulela: So, wouldn't the possibility of independent candidates be a solution? That way, there would be no party affiliations, and hopefully no chance of one getting corrupted by the system. With regards to holding a political position under a party, are you saying that no one with good intentions can ever get the party vote? |
Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by AjanleKoko: 2:45pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
mbulela: Do you know, I was having a chat with someone today, and we concluded that benign dictatorship is the only way to take Nigeria forward. Democracy or civil rule is gradually becoming pointless. |
