Nigerian Legislators On 6 Weeks Recess For Ramadan - Good/Bad? by Remii(m): 10:33pm On Aug 01, 2011
Both the Senate and House of Representatives have proceeded on 6 weeks recess to "observe" Ramadan fasting. The fasting is 4 weeks so why 6 weeks.
Other Nigerian workers are on duty during Ramadan, what is the justification for this.

We all read in the newspapers how American Legislators worked through the weekend to prevent first ever Americans government default.

Are these set of politicians that will deliver Nigeria from present parambulations?

Really unbelieveable  shocked but what were they doing at the first place other than to sit down and collect money

Ramandan is not for resting but for fasting and reflexing between you and Allah and why must people know you are fasting at the first place

you are meant to go with you everyday activity like you are not even fasting at all sad

THESE GUYS ARE LAZY, WE DONT HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THESE HOUSES OF LEGISLATURE.
IMAGINE THE TYPE OF BILLS THEY GIVE PRIORITY TO(bills to increase thier welfare and secure thier positions)
THEY SHOULD DO WHAT THEY LIKE,WE KNOW THEY ARE THERE TO SATISFY THIER POCKETS, EVERYONE WILL GET COLDER AS LONG AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES THIS WAY AND POLITICIANS STEAL WITH IMPUNITY,WE THE YOUTHS DONT BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM.
GOD KNOWS WE DONT HAVE ANY LOVE FOR THESE POLITICIANS.
THE NIGERIAN YOUTH CAN NOT RENT AN APARTMENT,LANDLORDS CHARGE TWO YEARS RENT BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF HOUSES AVAILABLE IS LOW.
PASS BILLS TO BUILD PUBLIC/LOW COST HOUSING TO COMPETE WITH THE LANDLORDS.THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT.
PLEASE WAKE UP,HOW LONG WILL YOU ALLOW MONEY BLIND YOU TO YOUR DEATH.
NO ONE IS HAPPY,NO ONE IS SAFE.

So what about other Muslims working during Ramadan? Must the country grind to a halt becos of Ramadan? Bunch of useless lazy idiots if only they truly serve God I'm sure we wouldn't be in the mess we are in Nigeria today.
Re: Nigerian Legislators On 6 Weeks Recess For Ramadan - Good/Bad? by sharpman1(m): 4:53pm On Aug 02, 2011
The government should simply declare a 6 weeks public holiday so we can all observe Ramadan.

GOOD jor. Dont ask me twice.

What do they do they there? Each time they sit, they receive sitting allowances.

Their 6 weeks allowances have been paid upfront. Whether they convene or not, it is same same.
