obailala: ..Seriously? On the contrary, a negligible percentage of people on this forum can be passed as intelligent. Intelligence here is not the amount of grammar you can construct but the ability to reason objectively and debate issues with adequate knowledge of subject matter devoid of ethnic, political and religious sentiments. What magic does it really need to realize we have very bad leaders piloting affairs since independence hence the collapse of all infrastructure and very little percentage of citizens gainfully employed in the midst of all the human and natural resources we are bestowed with? 8 Likes |

GozieDiora:Agreed, APC lawmakers may have been unruly in this case but just like every other civil protest, that may just have been the most expedient option to raise an awareness to this issue (instead of engaging in brawls or fisticuffs). Judging from the history of our nation, I can bet my last buck that without such an 'unruly' action, this issue would NEVER be discussed in the house until it is totally forgotten. Anyway at this time, my concern isn't the legitimacy of the actions of the lawmakers, my real concern as a Nigerian is why there are so many people out there who do not think it is necessary to discuss such a sensitive issue. |

This is a good development for our democracy as the minority party showed its strength on an embarrassing national issue. Unfortunately such cannot happen in our STATE legislatures as there is almost no other party apart from the ruling party in the state executive arm Let's hope these APC representaTHIEVES will also walk out on their bogus salary compared to the miserable N18,000 minimum wage. That would be the day! 1 Like 1 Share |

amobii: it sounds funny but it's very true. The issue is this, Nigeria is growing faster than it ever has before and people are nervous. The west sees we're edging out their control of west africa. My evidence is the french mining companies that have been taking Dangote to court for investing in senegal and ending their monopoly. South Africa has lost it's title as africa's '#1 economy' and are very openly bitter about it because that was their #1 selling point. To them loosing that is like Nigeria loosing it's oil. Countries like the UK are very naive and detached from the reality of the globe but it's clear they don't understand islamic militancy and are now even surprised that their own citizens are joining in droves. If you told a Nigerian that muslims in Nigeria sympathize with Al Quaeda, it wouldn't surprise us because we know it's a possibility and understand the nature of the issue. The british don't and it's clear that their 'learner' status is keeping them from understanding the issue and how nigeria is tackling it as well as our constraints. then there's APC that feels it's only hope is demeaning and degrading Nigeria internationally. Northern govs have even lobbied the US government against their own Nigerian government just because the leader isn't one of them. It's a sad situation but yes this administration has threats from all sides due to our raise in status and the uniqueness of the issues we're face. Sadly, we're also facing them alone. 2 Likes |

My first question is was there any valid reason given as to why the majority leaders decided not to vote yes on the issue of the arms deal....it all still reeks of a blatant cover up to me bt for all our sakes in this country I hope im wrong....btw we shouldn't always make everything abt party politics what is wrong is wrong and vice-versa |

chrisbaba1:there is nothing like protest afternoon an election. There was a voice vote on the floor of the house which the APC members participated in and the result of which could have gone either way, but unfortunately it went against APC. What is the essence of participating in voting when u already know that u would not accept the outcome? The other day APC national chairman said that they would form a parallel government in 2015 irrespective of the election results. That is sheer irresponsibility. APC should learn how to accept defeat so that Nigerians can take them serious. 2 Likes |

Eventually all Nigerians will come to realize dat d so-called largest party in Africa, d PDP, must rank among d most irresponsible political parties anywhere in d world. It is shameful dat d majority PDP will insult Nigerians by sweeping dis odious scandal under d carpet. Come 2015 Nigerians must realize dat they owe it to themselves & to generations unborn to send dis dysfunctional, corrupt, clueless & anti-people party packing. This is a task dat must be done. 4 Likes |

Re: $9.3m: APC Reps Walk Out During House Debate by Nobody: 6:20pm On Sep 23, 2014 |
obailala: Great, excellent. Note taken. I appreciate your concern. But you must also agree with me that when the so called "civil protest" is employed in a despicable manner, it only constitutes a tool fashioned to antagonise democracy thereby becoming a clog in the wheel of success for any country that wishes to embrace the leadership form. I said it and I'm saying it again; in as much I agree with APC's stand, I still believe they played it real bad this time. They're are other ways of projecting their disagreement with the outcome. Walking away in such a gathering simply paints a bad picture of the set of people aspiring to be our leaders. They must have allowed emotions to overtake their sense of reasoning thus casting a shadow of doubt on their ability to maintain an opinion-tolerant government. In my opinion, let's look beyond political parties and engage objective criticism. The decision not to debate on the case is questionable. APC's reaction to it is deplorable. Once again, I appreciate your take on the matter. |

It was a Fu****g election it would have gone either way. That's why its good to have the majority in the house. This has also happened in the USA where the democrats wanted the pentagon audited and the republicans blocked it. The truth about democracy is you must accept the result or go thru the legal channel to state ur grievances. APC chose neither. ANARCHY PEOPLES CONGRESS. 2 Likes |

Even though majority, through voice vote, suggested that the matter shouldn't be discussed the presiding officer should've used his prerogative to make members disuss the issue. |

A very serious issue like this wasn't important to be discussed as was voted by the majority of the house consisting of PDP Members and you see nothing wrong with that?

Perusing through the comments really shows the level of so-called intelligence and political sagacity of e-warriors on nairaland.. Gone were the days that you get lectured on issues, rather we throw tantrums and jibes. If the leadership of PDP is not interested in discussing the issue,the power lies with the speaker to call for the only vote that can not be countered, a voice vote and results of a voice vote cannot be recalled or countered. The APC has the right to walk out thereby reducing the number and quorum not reached. The session is guillotined. And sitting adjourned.. It's so sad that we have decided to wear the garb of ethnicity, party affliation. An ostrich effect indeed... How do we explain this to our children? 1 Like |
