If the politicians spend half our budget on themselves then who are they governing? Why won’t there be Militant Everywhere when we don't see development in the areas that produces the money. Why would there not be hawking by underage children just to support their family who pays taxes and don't see any benefit of the tax. Brothers and sisters i think this Mistake called Nigeria should break up let everybody go. So if you decide to punish your people directly it is up to you. if they don't want to break up then let’s have a regional government i think it is more close to the people because this federal system that they claim which me i know very well is a unitary system of government is a failure. http://sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2008/sept/27/national-27-09-2008-001.htm |

In as much as the news is very sad and made me almost burst into flames in anger. Your suggestion to end this misrule I have to say is flawed. The legislators, LGA chairmen and governors are from all parts of Nigeria and why do you think they would stop this jamboree if they were doing the same job in a new country?
Its Nigeria. . . Public office is an opportunity to get extremely wealthy at the expense of sustainable development and human survival. It is a virus that I'm afraid even the prayer and fasting of the numerous church and mosque goers have been unable to destroy.

If we break up let every body go back and punish their own people themselves. If the northerners want to steal allthe money in the northern region let them do it and if the iboris and the rest want to do the same to their people it is still up to them.
I suggested it because the world nigeria to me is a failure. No one can be held responsible for anyhting in this country because every one want to protect his or her own. the north protects IBB, Abacha, and the rest up there; the yorubas protect the likes of Bode george, Obansajo, Diya the south south protects Annhni, Ibori, Igbinedion, Odili, Easterners; Kalu, Nzeribe this are just to mention a few people that has done this nation wrong. they go back home and they are celebrated. Is it fair.
So if we break up if you want to punish your people it is up to you.

WHERE IS NIGERIA1???!??!? The guy who is always clamoring for more states. Nonsense. In the US, the fed govt. only takes care of federal branches of govt. and not the state branches of govt, Why should the fed govt. be paying gov. salaries and state senators salaries?? This is absolute nonsense. This is why i am really hyper-ventilating . If yar'adua wants to leave a good legacy behind before the supreme courts decide that his election is illegitimate, then he should stop paying the salaries of all state branches and while he is at it, he should slash the salaries of the legislature and other branches of the fed govt. by 2/3 or give them one condition: a constitutional ammendment to remove the "immunity clause" which prohibits them from being dragged to the court of law because with all the money they get, they still embezzle lots and lots of public funds (which kind nonsense be that?!?!) OlUWASEUN OSEWA. This topic should be on the front page for general discussions (since you posted the thread that "We are all monkeys" then you might be interested in this one) instead of stupid threads like "why northerners hate southerners"

@bawomolo
he should snick that proposal into one of those bills like they do in the US senate. Also, here in yanki, the fed. govt. does not pay each of the govs. salaries, not at all. Each state is independent, they raise taxes to pay there state officials.

He can't or should I say no-one can sneak anything past these probe-probers especially something that have to do with their own money!! and he doesnt have the power anyway, I think RMFAC or something like that does |

In the US, a bill is usually a very long ( just think 5 "Ababio's" put together) list of legalistic "mumbo jumbo" on the nature of the bill, scope, how to implement it and so forth, that's why its very rare for senators to read a bill from start to finish making it very easy for "el presidente" to snick one in just before they go on recess(vacation e.g Christmas or independence day). To snick one in, it should be in fine print (you know, all those tiny letters in a contract or on a bottle of orange juice that you don't even bother to read). In yanki, most lawmakers and members of congress have a background in law and still some don't even bother to read it, they just pass it to there assistants. When a bill makes it through the sub-committee (e.g treasury subcommittee) and makes it on to the committee hearings, then it is now open to debate on the senate floor, then sent to the house of rep. for general debate, then sent to the president. This is where the president can make sure some of his boys in the house can snick one in.
Another option for the president is to gather all the brightest legal minds in the country to look for certain loopholes in the constitution (which of course is legal) concerning payment of govt. officials and see if he can out-manouevre is way around the constitution.
If there is none, then he can create a distraction by issuing habeas corpus granting him supreme powers to rule the state. He can do this by using the Niger Delta problem as an excuse to persuade congress to give him absolute powers to handle the situation, thereby making them irrelevant. This would make him pass whatever law he likes, like removing the "immunity clause" and by granting the systematic reduction of the salaries of the executive and judiciary e.g there salaries can be cut in half two years from now and another 2 years later by 3/4 (130,000 a month should be enough for them) . While he is at it, he should make sure that the fed. govt. immediately stops paying state officials salaries like the governors and state judiciary members. If these guys want a salary, then they should raise the money by taxing there constituents. Nigeria cannot afford to be like Saudi Arabia and the UAE which have abundant oil reserves and very small populations and therefore don't even bother to tax there citizens. This rule would make state and local govt. officials more accountable to the people they govern and of course there would be less money to embezzle.
