House Of Reps Member Slumps And Dies In Etteh Must Go Brawl

What is Yaradua doing about this ? waiting 4 a checkmate ?

What has Nigeria turned to? It should not come to this.
God help us.

Picture below shows the remains of a member of the House of Representatives, Dr. Aminu Safana, who died after a scuffle in the House on Wednesday, being taken away from the National Hospital, Abuja, to Katsina State for burial. Photo: NAN.

someone please show us a picture of the etteh of a woman.
does she have massive dolly pattons that are confusing the men?
why are they keeping her there?

I concur ! But if she stills persists in her idiocy then it must mean OBJ has got some things up his sleeve, whichever way it is a lose-lose situation 4 them !

@Viga
I am surprise that people choose to cal others a thief without that person being found guilty.??

Personally i think Thiefry isnt the issue here. I believe that the moral sense of some people in leadership in Nigeria has been replaced by sheer madness. How can any one claim that such an amount was spent on rennovations and cars etc? NGN628m? NGN71m on furniture etc ? I think that We are very far from a progressive nation. very far. And that honestly troubles me. And when people like viga will still come and lecture us on technicalities eg the diff btwn the accused and the condemned i feel like we probably don't know what is at stake. even more when the whole nation is in a siddon look poise. everybody is ranting technicalities. the decadence in the moral fabric of our society has finally consumed ALL sense of pride, integrity and hoensty.

what are the reps fighting and dying for? I think they are saying that it does not matter. They are ALL telling us and the whole world that the state of being of every nigerian as an individual or collective does not matter. They are saying NOTHING matters in as much as we can all continue to deceive and be deceived.

Indeed my heart is giving up on this Nigeria and i don't know when a New Nigeria (if at all) will emerge. but please this is not about thiefry no its about a people that av lost progress, a people whose heroes past av labored in vain, one nation bound in greed, wickedness and moral degeneration. its about this Nigeria

this woman is simply a FOOLISH woman.l


i rememba the day of her inauguration; then, e'one was satisfied with her and suddenly, she begin dey JALE and can't  control the house again.

PDP is a stupid party too.
DId they 've to wait for the man to die before ordering etteh to step aside?

All these just goes to put Kutigi and Iwu to shame. Certainly, most of these rascals were never elected

The casualties of the Ettehgate scandal have started to pile up, and unfortunately the tragedy of the whole situation is beginning to blow up right in all our faces. This whole issue has transcended way past the stage of a woman being victimized; it has now elevated itself into that realm whereby the nation is being held hostage by the forces of stubbornness, ignorance, arrogance and indefinable illiteracy.

The death of Alhaji Haminu Fafana really has set the tone for violence yet unborn to spring forth. This situation has not only made one faction one man less, it has more importantly now made a family one individual less, made children fatherless orphans, a wife a widow, and erstwhile dependents independent.
Now who says this situation does not concern us the masses anymore?
This is as tragic as any national calamity could get, BUT it could become worse.

If this issue gets out of hand, I envisage a situation where communities would start killing and burning themselves as a show of support for one side of the divide on the issue. We would probably even degenerate to the stage where house of representative members start assassinating each other, to right a wrong or wrong a right, as the case may be.

Alternatively we might have a situation where by October next year, the House of Representatives would still be in the process of trying to debate over the Idoko report due to the several recesses and holidays they might have entered into, all in a bid to canvass support for what I will at this juncture term the “politics of corruption”.
The members have successfully politicized corruption and at the same time corrupted Politics, and as a fatal result slowed down development and nation rebuilding that would have been carried out in the country during this period.

The situation of the house of assembly as at Wednesday the 10th of October was one that depicted the ambience that only an election like the one that happened last April can create. The folly of those men and women comes not as a shock to many Nigerians, I particularly did not expect much from people who got to power through violence and muzzling of the people’s suffrage.

For this reason people still doubt the success of this Yar’Adua’s administration, not because of the Man at the head (far from it) rather due to the indubitable fact that he has criminals around him, and of course obstinate and hard-hearted individuals who care for position and power more than they do for the well being of the country.

It’s very ironic when you consider the fact that Alhaji Haminu Fafana now has no more part to play as to who presides over the debate on the Idoko report. How many more casualties are we to record as a nation before this unbecoming obstinacy ceases to be?
The star attraction in this saga obviously is in love with this cacophony that pervades the country at present, otherwise she would have professed her love for the country by doing the right thing that would certainly douse this tension.

Need I say the country is getting a bad name from all of this? The truth is we have come to accept bad publicity as a norm and as such honorable members of the house can afford to make a mockery of themselves on National television without any form of shame.

This is an issue that could blow this country apart, it will only be wise if certain measures are taken quickly before this incendiary burn up the little we have and are grooming for the future.

@Tundewoods

Do corpses use the toilet or what do I see in that picture you posted.  Please pardon my ignorance o. 

How are we sure it was not even the man's turn to go and meet his maker for judgment.  The woman should just accept and go,
its a pity we don't have suicide bombers yet in this country. I know some good targets.

d day wey them inaugurate am, nobody appose am at all, all f them agree make she stay as Spika, nw she don begin murda them 1 by 1.

Sad

The famous Iron Lady; Margaret Thatcher wasn't famous in such a barbaric manner. Well they said what a man can do a woman can do it even better or do it worse. Trust me no Naija man has tried this ignoble feat before. Eve must be Eve whether clothed or naked.

The first time i knew that woman is a thief was when their was so much clamour and campaings in the media about a party organized for her in the US.
She defied the noise and still went ahead to celebrate with stolen money. This happened after the House correspondent has told the nation she was going for a medical check-up.

I think she has a mandate to steal and use people's blood to perpetuate herself in power. She must be stoned. Not to death sha.
Ole ole ole. Thief Thief Thief. barawo barawo nie Etteh

Imagine somebody dieing because she wan steal. I'm amazed at her resoluteness in not bowing out. Anini didnt do this much

I feel a lot of those House of Reps guys are just slighted because its a dame thats at the helm of affairs and copping all the cash some of 'em should be getting. . . . . .  so they w'anna tell me that if it was guy there, we'd have all this hullabaloo how come nobody's giving the deputy speaker hell 2 or ain't he in this 2 pl'z 

if Etteh goes, whoever comes in is still g'onna loot and we're not g'onna hear zilch, so let 'em just spare us all the noise. . . .  i'm just so sad that the fella that kicked the bucket is a pro-Etteh-ite was hoping it would be one of 'em M****f*** playa haters who don't have the gall to see a woman boss over 'em!

Ride on Etteh. . . . . hang on in there and give 'em hell - buncha' chauvinistic c****ks*****kas!!!

Honestly speaking, our politicians behave like idiotistic people who are lack of knowledge, because, i can't see y that so call Mrs speaker still in the House and our so call Father, brother, killing themselves over nothing, one useless woman that has no shame but to steal and destruct

Mrs Speaker, i must let you know, that the Blood of Aminu Safana will be on You, because you are a shame to the womanhood, i split on you ( i beg una my naijapal, make na help carry this message to her).

In as much as i agree that looting the treasury is wrong. . . .  in fact, it is a SIN, CRIME! call whatever. . . . . .  but the fact remains, MEN have held that position 4 so long and have PILLAGED, LOOTED, DESPOILED, REAVE and outrightly RAPED our treasuries, and we haven't heard anybody cry foul. . . . .  now that a WOMAN's there its 5 O' clock news time. . . . .  Who on that House Floor is worthy of that Speaker sit Which of 'em is honest and righteous enough to sit there
Like Jesus said "he that hath no sin, cast the first stone. . . . "   _{or something like that} 

abegi Etteh carry go!

hmmm,  Patricia Ete(h)kete!
