Nigeria my country. God help us

If those who went to court were like you would they have spent their money and time to hire lawyers, fill forms, prepare their arguments etc
Why don't you find out what you can do at your own level in your area and DO it?

Its a welcome development, let them tell us where the cars that were purchased for the last assembly/senate members are. Just because you served the 8th assembly does not mean you go away with the cars, once your tenure is over, pack your stuff and go but not leave with tax payers properties. And if they are desperate for cars, let them purchase made in Nigeria cars, Innoson full stop.

I thought Saraki was a thief, a reckless spender and extravagant.

Who would have believed that this new Senate headed by the 'chosen ones' will also be this insensitive?

The problem may not just be about individuals but also that of the system we operate that allows the already overfed individuals feast with reckless abandon on our patrimony.

Can't we try unicamera legislature with part-time members?

Except from the shenanigans of those that benefit from the status quo, Nigeria is due for genuine restructuring.

1000% on the restructuring. The present system has failed abysmally.

Heartless people, just imagine the huge sum... like they didn't have functional cars before. Four years will pass and they'll want to sell the cars to themselves at ridiculously low prices. Shame

This is commendable!
Too much waste in government

Commendable from citizens, but a non-starter. NASS is the one government entity empowered to spend as it sees fit: it's in charge of the treasury. Executive creates a budget, subject to NASS approval. On the other hand there's no provision that I know of to subject NASS budget to any external approval. In other words, the courts can't do anything.

If people don't like what their representatives are doing with the peoples' money, they can recall them, or vote wisely next time.

It's not the system... it's the people. Biafra leadership also squandered a lot of the new country's wealth on frivolities (none of the leadership drove cheap cars or subjected themselves to rationing food for the cause). Same thing to be said of Western Region leaders... and we see all the exquisite palaces built during the Sokoto Caliphate. So I don't see how restructuring is going to prevent frivolous spending.

I have always said that Saraki's led senate will be far better than this next level of anointed ones.
Can someone bring us how much saraki led senate budget for cars let's compare with this present one so everyone will know that we are really neck deep in yahoo politicians pockets.

5.5billion naira on luxury cars amid the level of poverty hovering around Nigeria ?? Will world come to an end if they channel that huge amount of money towards the development of this country by creating more jobs for the unemployed. Clueless and vision less bunch of people. Very thought provoking. Good move and I hope they win the case against senate.


The said 5.5b will pay 30k minimum wage to 18,000 for 10 months.
