Take the fight to them and take your country back from them.
They are not up to us.

Our mumu don do.
We know where they live.

We know their parents and families
We know where every civil servants too live. They are all culpable.
We know their contractors. Some of them and their children and their families too are on this forum and they comment too.

They have been doing that for long.

Let Nigerians troop out on mass protests peacefully and demand total shutdown of this yeye system and ask for a new one, and put in place serious punitive measures for who embezzles or displays corrupt practices.

We endure sh!t too much. They believe we can’t do anything to them. God!😩

In 1995, I helped a Director of Finance of a local government typed a budget on computer. That’s when I saw that all figures in our budget were arbitrary figures.
A borehole then was done at N10m and plenty of it were inserted across all villages in Osun State.

Whenever I challenged him on any figure I was not cleared with, he would say: just write the figure I said you should write sebí èmi ni màá defend ‘rè.

Those budget officers are so lazy that they would go into archive and bring out approved budgets of 1971 and just be changing the figures and inserting a few new lines.

The man is still owing me 1k till today. He didn’t pay me for the work I typed and I don’t forgive him.

So to you Obi is a saint and a magician?

Stop deceiving yourself, he is one of the polithiefcians too.

Look ...Peter Obi is never a Saint, but he knows how to create a tensed atmosphere that there is no money to spend lavishly but to use it and work or save for another work ...

But using Psychology, due you think TINUBU has much to give this country when he took Power by saying it is his turn?.....like without any plans or ideas about how to Manage a country, you just come out to say it is your turn because you are or where in that circle of friends where you believe your selfish sacrifices has reached to that brim of giving you President??

I called Peter Obi because I know he is not a Saint, but someone entirely our of the. Cabals that have crumbled and crippled this Country in the National level...

It's so bad now that a Nigerian youth doesn't know the process of approving a budget?
You dont know it's not the Senate but the National Assembly?
The level of ignorance displayed by Nigerian youths is alarming.


So whatever process it is, and whoever does the approving, does it understate the fact that 193m was approved for 1 borehole? So you want us to leave the matter and start debating about who actually does the approval? Chai! This generation killing Nigeria. I hope you sleep well after this kind of shameful outing.

All these insults you slowpokes have rained, and none of you could actually provide any point to say I am wrong. You are angry because I corrected the OP and didn't condemn the action of the National Assembly.

Well as long you are holding only the Senate responsible and leaving out the HOR on an issue they are both responsible for them you must be sick in the head.

By the way I wasn't arguing, I was correcting a notion, but ..... I am talking to educated people who don't know the difference between the Senate and the National Assembly.
No wonder most of you don't know the arms of government and government agencies to hold accountable for your problems....
National Assembly comprises of both Senate and House of Representative. I understand you're a supporter of APC. That is where you get your daily bread.

taa shut up already you lazy youth! Is senate not part of the national assembly? Is senate not the upper chamber? Do you think that the red chambers don't weild a bigger gavel than the green chambers? Oga this is not the matter! Your inheritance is being guzzled by a select few and you're here forming enlightened in your deprivation. This is exactly the issue. It's either Akpabio is your uncle or you sef no get sense se. This is why they keep getting away Scot free with this brigandage because dimwits like you will leave the substance and be chasing the shadow. Hey wake up sleeper!

In reality you lots are the reason they get away with such. Just as you are letting the house of rep get away with this. I have a very close friend of mine in the HOR and he knows my stand on this issue. The National Assembly must be held accountable
Why not hold the entire National Assembly responsible m, why only the Senate.
The Senate is The upper house, so by your opinion they decide.
Sir if the House of Rep has no role to play, they would have just being a Senate session to deliberate on the budget, why would the HOR be called in if they had no role to play in the budget.
They are both partners in crime and they both should be held responsible.
You can hate my submission and insult me all you like but I having been asking you all to bring a superior point and none of you could bring one.

Why is the entire National Assembly no5 being held Accountable?
Why only the Senate, when it was a join6 session of the National Assembly that approved the budget.
Instead of saying " oh yes it is true, we also need to call out the Speaker and the HOR" you all went about insulting me.
Lol

It's unfortunate that you allowed the money paid for your education go through the waste. The Executive is not the Legislative. The Senate and HoR are made up of many parties including your messiah's Labour party. Most of the people complaining and exposing the anomalies are still from APC and PDP.

I understood what you said and that is fact but the the Senate has the upper hand, and all the budget padding are been done by the both house leadership, don't be surprise that some house members are not aware of the budget padding.

We need to hold them both responsible.
Look at the infrastructures Femi Gbaja put up in Surulere, it means every house member has enough funds to do the same in their constituencies, what are they doing with their money. We need to hold all of them responsible, they are all partners in whatever is happening.
The speaker and other HOR leaders cannot claim they are innocent.
Let's not leave them out.
That is my own take.
My friend is a member of the green chamber I have been grilling him, they are all in this together.
Imagine if every HOR member and senator does even half of what Femi did in Surulere, the entire nation will experience a face lift.
It's unfortunate that I am insulted for this view of mine, when it should actually be a welcomed opinion

The elites are aware that the concept of a unified Nigeria is fraudulent; however, they are resistant to the idea of dividing the nation as they desire to maintain their authority over Nigeria in its entirety and continue exploiting our shared resources. Though Ojukwu attempted to challenge this status quo, he was ultimately oppressed by the Western supremacists. The elites aim to perpetuate the current state of affairs in Nigeria, where a single governing body can be manipulated akin to a remote control. The implementation of a restructuring strategy presents the most viable solution for our nation. This approach would grant autonomy to each region to manage their respective resources, establish individual armed forces and law enforcement agencies, and enable regions such as Arewa to adhere to Sharia law while permitting the South to manage oil resources independently. Nevertheless, the elites refuse to entertain the notion of restructuring, as they fear that a truly unified Nigeria would yield too much power.
