wise_many2k:

i'm in total support of the federal legislators. Dis bill has ill intent...and i'm sure some ppl in d executive arm of govt wld have been licking their lips, getting ready to quote that out of 170mllion Nigerians there are 70million eligible unemployed graduates for the scheme.... they get to pay only 10million....pocket the money for 60milliom ppl....EFCC will arrest them in the year 2025....dey get convicted a jailed 2years for stealing 25trillion Naira belonging to naija youths...but given an option to sweep oshodi oke in lieu of the jail term....silly country

jas_o: Thats the mistake you people make. ACN rep initiated it and supported by all ACN and some other rep from opposition parties, but PDP in its strugle to ensure that life is meaniless to some fool who could not understand what's going on in the legislature, the bill failed because PDP have majourity while other parties are of minority ok.

Also, James Faleke said providing such monetary incentives could only compound the economic challenges facing the country.

According to him, since the Nigerian economy was not production-based, industrial revival efforts would be defeated. “Rather than turn our unemployed youths into lazy ones, government should channel the monthly stipends towards the revival of our industries”, he said.

jmaine:

Your attempt to engage in your cheap propaganda is void and defeated . . . .Read the below and note that HON. FALEKE JAMES ABIODUN is the ACN House of Rep. Member representing the Ikeja Federal Constituency.



The other important bill which seeks to amend the Consumer Protection Council Act to modify its composition; widen the scope of its functions and powers so as to provide for a broader and more effective Council was initiated by a PDP rep.

So i wonder what cheap message you were strenuously trying to pass even . . . .

When an ACN rep members move and support a crunchy and radical motion to cut the excessive bonuses of the legislatures . . .I go follow you hail them wella. until then all na chop chop dem be . . .

calapicha: well, average nigerian person is self centered. U could see that in the way people are commenting on this issue,those that are gainfully employed holds a different view from those that are still job seeker.I begiii he who where the shoe knows where it hurt most.

Burger01: Not really surprised... They are thieving cows...

Cows dont steal...

Mad Cow:


[b]I also support the rejection of that bill..


Nigeria is a country that puts the cart before the horse..

I am all for social welfare and benefits, but not at this time when most state primary schools sef have no records of the total number of students they have. The loophole if such a bill were to be allowed to go through would be bigger than the Canal that killed many people during the Ikeja Cantonment bombing. The fraud would make the subsidy scam look like pick-pocketing.

Let the government first of all tidy up their house.

Proper Databases should be set up.

Power! Power!! Power!!! We need electricity.

I.T as well needs to be enhanced. Ordinary to get Drivers License takes so long because of the excuse 'Our servers are down'.

Until a credible census is taken in this country, proper birth and death registrys are set up, we have proper figures with a less than 5% margin of error, this bill should remain dead. Look at the money that Nigerians made from the Amnesty programme. I know a woman who made so much money that now all her cars carry custom plates and she now has Mopol escorts. All from ordinary Amnesty o!! Talkless of unemployment benefits.


I SAY NO TO THAT BILL!!!!!

I know we are suffering in this country, but I will not willing open up more avenues for us to get robbed all in the name of social welfare.. [/b]

WHIZBRO: Why will they not reject it, when it's not a bill to increase constituency allowance. Both ACN, PDP,CPC and all the P's and C's are e-diots
