Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each

The problem of Nigeria is with everyone who calls himself a Nigerian.

Until each and everyone begins to partake in the daily running of the nigeria company and not leave it to a certain set of people, Nigeria will continue to run down!

Millatary came and gone, Democrazy don come, still same tory, if not worse!,  but the Good thing is, we can talk, we can ask questions,  the earlier we begin to excercise this power of asking questions the better.

  and  but not 

House,
If a thief comes to your house everyday to disturb you and your family, you tried to kill him but unsuccessful, get him arrested also unsuccessful, move house and they move with you. You tried everything. What will you do?

To beat a thief you have to think like one thats the only way forward (I am not saying be a thief, I Said think like one). We can't keep getting upset and doing nothing all the time. we will keep going in circles, round and round and round.

Most of you are probably right but i am trying to think outside the box for a minute.

Why do governments around the world negotiate with terrorists after various attempt to stop their actions.

If nobody get my ideology then I might as well stop writing now.

To sum up my point. All I am trying to say is that we can start our fight against corruption by paying Politicians, Police, Lectures, Army, Doctors, Civil Servants very well and make their job fulfilling. It will not eradicate it but it can be a start.

Please people give realistic contribution to how we can accomplice this (don't say things like kill them all, not realistic)

@Jamco45, if you said something like firing on the spot for corrupt officers and long term improsonment if prosecuted then i would say that is viable thinking outside the box. Even shooting on sight or public flogging (i am not advocating these by the way) then that is thinking outside the box. I am sorry, but paying thieves more money to not steal??? That i really don't get.

I really don't think the frustration at the right people and the situation has reached a national level because it is hard to imagine that the national assembly and government houses would not have been mobbed by now and people like Odilli, Ibori, Obasanjo and the rest of their kind who EFCC (a dead agency) has failed to do anything about, drawn out to the street and flogged old fashioned african style before being paraded on the street like the robbers they are for being a menace to the country.

That would not help. In the long run, the effect would catastrophic.  We really don't need to sink to low levels to get back at these monsters and more importantly shooting them would not actually recover the money.

All it takes is one honest government. A Government that would bring all these guys to book. Right now , the last admin is being probed but we have heard those kind of story lines. Problem with these probes is that at the end of the day no one is actually prosecuted. No one is meant to cough back all the lootings. We hear talk, talk and no ACTION.

There are only two ways by which countries change their fate

* A radical government with different views from its predeccesors.  Which is what I am praying for.


* A revolution carried out by the citizens. Which is HIGHLY UNLIKELY in Nigeria.

There is wide spread ignorance of the genuine rights of the people and the benefits good and uncorrupt governance can bring. There is also ignorance on what is seen as corruption and its harm on everyone and the country as a whole. Although fair enough there are a lot who are corrupt and know it and know its implications, but what about all those rural areas that don't even have roads and still vote. Those places and even some cities that corrupt people can still go and the people will hold festival to welcome thieves. I know it sounds trivial but this is part of the cause. Ignorance on what is right and benefitial for the country. Also, when the people stop behaving like Esau and stop selling their birth rights for a plate of rice when election day comes then you can now tell me people are serious. One solution to this people, one solution that we can all partake in? Educate people especially in rural areas. It could be anything from speaking to people in rural areas or some family members or going to schools or writing insightful articles which can be read by students and stir up debates. I know it sounds condescending but we all know what corruption is doing to the country and that we don't really have a democracy. If we all get more active politically for the sake of the nation then we can change things. People always complain about feeling helpless and this is my suggestion. Also, the house of reps is meant to be the voice of the people. Find out who the rep from your area or state is. Engage them if you can, anyone, even local government chairmen, anyone. And ask them what plans they have for the state. Why have certain bills in the house not been passed yet. These are all things that won't cost an arm and a leg but can still make a difference.

I totally agree with you.

I never expected anything better from the body bleaching, thug glorifying shameless ex thug ruling the state, don't forget he's an ex-policeman!
We live in a society that worships wealth regardless of source, until the populace rise yp to challeneg all such retards in govt we wont have leaders! Its been said that a society gets the kind of leaders it deserves and not the one it demands!
These people are petty thieves who derserve to roast!
RUBBISH!

**hisses** na today? No be naija.

At times, it pains me when  I know I am from Ibadan , Oyo state politics is an eye-sore, and I am earnestly praying for revolution in Ibadan politics, starting from Baba at molete.

i think its time for me too to become a lawmaker or senetor or even the president, please all member of the house vote for me i want go take my own share oooo.

Where is the EFCC, ICPC, Yar Adua and his Rule of law in this?? Is this legal?? On what grounds?? $200,000 each for what???

It is really sad.20 wetin!
Why is it that these rulers don't consider the masses? I heard the price of a bag of rice is now about N10,000 due to recent cyclone. Can't Oyo state government subsidize the cost to N3,500 for its people if they have excesses?
