Exchange Of Blows Over Patricia Etteh

She has to go.

Not only should she be removed as Speaker of the House, her Senatorial District must re-call her (or forever live in shame among all other Nigerian communities). Finally, when she is no more in the National Assembly, she can then be tried for theft as an ordinary citizen and go to jail for 2 years.


So Etteh must go to jail.

@Bankole01

thank you jare, my brain been dey overheat. Her constituency should identify themselves let us know who to heap this bundle of shame on if they don't take action.

Please,  which constituency is that woman representing.

Which Constituency Is Patricia Etteh Representing? Can't they speak up anymore?

In fact lemme go to google.

i saw it on TV the way those old men with big bellies were exchanging blows.its a national disgrace

I was busy online when my younger sister called me to watch the national disgrace on AIT News.

I hope it does not show up on YouTube?

These legislators are only showing us their true colours within only seven months of being in office.

The last April elections should be declared null and void. Because, these shamless criminals rigged their way into public office and they are insulting our intelligence.

God help Nigeria.

i am very very sure etteh would go. it's just another game. she would be disgraced out of office no doubt about that
but my concern which i believe every nigerian should be concerned about is WHO IS GOING TO REPLACE HER?!

so good nairalanders, pray the house doesn't exchange a thief for a smarted thief!

Well,  Patricia Etteh must go,  that is known already,

but even at that, do we need our reps to behave like that, even Sam Peters[boxer] would exercise patience in that situation [ and don't tell me they were frustrated].

One of them was saying that it would be bad if the international community got to hear this,  news fly so fast, contendig with the speed of light

I GOT THE HEADLINE ON BBC BEFORE I TUNED TO NTA,  so what else,

once again displaying our "democratic" violence,

You all say it is national disgrace for our lawmakers to be engaged in a brawl. Show me a legislative body without brawls and I will show you an inert assembly. All over the world, physical combat has become the norm in legislative processes. So before you make aspersions about what is a national disgrace, be informed beforehand.

As for the Ettehgate, look more deeply, you will see that Dabiri and her camp have a hand in this problem. What we see is a re-play of the Anambra saga that involved Ngige and those who put him into power in order to furnish their self interests. The real issue is that the 648 million Naira was not shared amongst these "power brokers", hence, they are screaming blue murder where there is really no case.

I agree with Chiori on the note that legislative brawls are not limited to Nigeria (check the links below).

Even if that is the real issue, there's a case. Etteh is just too greedy and she is a disgrace to herself, her family and her constituency. She should cover her over-bleached face in disgrace. I wonder what OBJ saw in her in the first place(if he actually slept/is actually sleeping with her). Contrary to what Adedibu said, I don't see this as a fight against yorubas, it's just a fight against a corrupt woman that deserves to rot in jail. She MUST go.

I am unfortunately from Ayedaade, This is a global embarassment to the noble people of my community.

New revelations show that one of the directors in a firm given the 71m portion of the contract is her security adviser, another woman no less. So the corruption bug affects women equally as egregiously as the men. 

with the latest ruckus, whether she is 'innocent' or 'guilty' according to the panel's findings, her leadership has been seriously compromised. It is way too early in the life of this legislature to be shackled by a lame duck speaker who will constantly have to defend her integrity

She should do the honorable thing and resign now.

the issue isn't really who's wife she is or who she is sleeping with - its a number of factors

1. the greed of the legislators who have been 'favored' by madam speaker to land 'juicy' committee positions

2. the obvious loss of face the PDP would suffer if the speaker goes down for corruption so early in the term

3. the fact that Obj 'approved' her appointment and would not want to lose one of his 'moles' in the new power set up.

I saw the fight on TV. very hilarious! made my day. 
Pat should go now, we no want na trouble?

Nairalanders,
This is what we called STEALING at the Highest Level. This is stealing with the PEN which are LEADERS are so used to.
This should not be Encouraged.
She must Goooooooooooooooooooooooo.
SHE IS A  DISGRACE TO MOTHERHOOD.
OLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ARCHBISHOP.
