Olodostein: Nigeria Senator in his rocking chair reading this and say;

"And so what " ! what are you goddam youths gonna do about it ?

Just watch how this thread won't exceed past 3 or highest 4 pages.

But if it were to be about some shallow things, it would cover 20 pages.

The Nigerian politician understands how citizenry mindset works.
bro, ever since it occurred to me that we are to blame for our woes, i quit blaming our rulers. Or why should the collective limited resources of a people are this ruthlessly looted and pillaged by their rulers and the people keep quiet? I have said it over and over that God will not just condemn our corrupt leaders to justice and live we the masses exonerated. We have chosen to remain this way. Nigerians obviously dont deserve good governance, since they are not willing to pay its attendant sacrifice....its that sad....

To change Nigeria to be among the best :
> We need the help of the Press to be sincere and never bow to be intimidated.
> We need the help of the Newspaper editors, to value informations like this above any other information,to discard the monetary values and exault informations that would heap pepper on corrupt officials
> We need help of TV stations to broadcast the truth and never allow politics be a factor in their business
> Above all, We need Nigerian youth to join forces in one voice, avoid supremacy, hollier than thou attitude, speak in one voice and not allow politicians use their games to divide us in tribes, parties etc.

We know this things and yet it goes into thin air, do you want to know why ? The reason is because we are our own enemies as Nigerian youth, if someone who has small money to pay for publications to expose corruption,has passion for this country, has other resources needed for us to mobilize and be heard, comes out to condemn these greedy politicians, instead of Nigerian youth joining in one voice, most of us would say they are fighting for their own interest.

We need change, Nigerians.

Re: Nigerian Senators Earn More Than Barack Obama by faithin9ja: 3:19pm On Jul 27, 2012
As much I as deplore this obvious waste of money, I really believe we as nation and culture are as much to blame for this.

How many US senators pay school fees for other peoples children, or hospital bill for another man's wife or buy salt for his village womens union?

Most of us are guilty of encouraging this type of behaivour and corruption, maybe out of our own poverty, as soon as we hear that our 'uncle' is now a senator, the speed we will rush to his house and table our problem. If he doesn't try to solve it, we go say 'that wicked man'.

This does not exonerate the Senator oh!! because this same same senator after he has given me N5k for my transport with a promise 'I will see what I can do' the Senator will buy his 'babe' blackberry porsche.

the shout "thief! Theif!! Thief!!!" is what eventually makes a thief get cauth. youths can start by keep letting them know they are thieves when we don't hesitate to tell other Nigerians in schools, market places, gatherings etc. Information like this.

Am about floating a forum where youths can write on how the problems of this country personally affects Him or her. the motive is to have a column in a daily to publish the article and read out the article on a popular radio program.

With these, we will be sounding it more in their ears that we know they are nothing but common thieves!

At this jucture, let us stage a protest to stop this broad day stealing. The PDP has succeeded in making themselves empire. If we keep silence, it will continue. The salaries of a senate or reps enough to develope a community. Chai! This evil must stop. Revolution to chase PDP away in 2015 election is sure. Graduates, atisan, businessmen, man & woman, let us come together to stop these few people that are pocketing our wealth. Imagine, in d midst of unnemployment and hunger. A person earn such amout of money and dnt care to create jobs.

Thanks for the information but what can Nigerians do to stop this.

Honestly speaking it's just 'three' much if i may say. What are the labour unions including NANS doing with this?
Nigerians don't deserve what is happening in the country except for lack of equity, injustice, greed etc
Re: Nigerian Senators Earn More Than Barack Obama by Alpha2k(m): 3:26pm On Jul 27, 2012
I advocate for a 50% reduction in earnings for all political office holders. Such savings should be used to create 1,000,000ha of farm land per year for youths to engage in commercial crop farming. This will reduce crime & make food available at very low cost.

ypzilanti: exactly what i keep saying. Why has no one organized a march on the national assembly?

Because that's not the agenda. The agenda is to return the power back to the core north with the support of the south west. They own the oil blocks and need to renew their licences by 2016. The only hindrance is the middlebelt and south south!

They have to do that to be able to pay the salary of the people . . . Teachers are being owed salary and yet these people are raking millions monthly and their salary are on time.
