ogb5: Tambuwal is the speaker of the house, he was smuggled in as speaker by the opposition with the hope that they can use him to effect some changes, what has he done since assuming that office to bring about real change. The reps are still looting constituency votes, Farouk is still among them, their egos still come ahead of the common good of the citizens.

Tambuwal has learnt something about us, if you want to be popular among the masses, simply scream "There is too much corruption in the land" with that your approval rating will sky rocket, you will be called a progressive, your looting will be ignored.

Tambuwal there is no revolution that will come today that will leave the man in the number 4 position today in Nigeria unaffected.

“The most compelling reasons for revolution throughout the ages were injustice, crushing poverty, marginalisation, rampant corruption, lawlessness, joblessness, and general disaffection with the ruling elite. You will agree with me that these describe conditions in our nation now, to a very large degree.”

Very true!!!

CROWÉ: What Nigeria needs is a return to fiscal federalism, remove the useless federal government from our states and dissolve the local governments, half of our problems will be solved overnight.

This is true but the federal government , as constituted today, is a fraudulent arrangement that exist to frustrate any effort at achieving fiscal/true federalism. Overriding conditions must always favour the sharing of the Nations commonwealth by a few and this is what GEJ is there for. Same as Yar Adua and OBJ before him.

When a President told directly to stop theft against Nigeria prefers to obsess over how he can discredit the messenger of that recommendation then we do not need a rocket scientist to tell us that said President is a member of the gang robbing the nation. We can never attain fiscal/true federalism under those who were chosen, because of their patent lack of principle and devotion to corruption, to assist the looting of Nigeria by a few.

The Speaker, House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, has said a revolution is due in Nigeria because of endemic corruption in the country, coupled with the general disaffection of the people with the ruling elite.

He said the kind of conditions that must subsist in order for any talk of revolution to be taken seriously were widely evident.

Tambuwal stated these in Lagos on Tuesday at the 2013 Distinguished Management Lecture of the Nigerian Institute of Management (Chartered). The occasion had the theme, ‘The role of the legislature on the economic, infrastructural and ethical revolution in Nigeria’, where he was invited as a guest speaker.

He said, “The most compelling reasons for revolution throughout the ages were injustice, crushing poverty, marginalisation, rampant corruption, lawlessness, joblessness, and general disaffection with the ruling elite. You will agree with me that these describe conditions in our nation now, to a very large degree.”

Tambuwal, who was represented by the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Legislative Budget and Research, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele, said over the years, successive governments made efforts to deal with this menace, but to no avail.

“That these conditions exist is well known to all persons in authority but the results of these successive efforts have failed to yield the desired results. This therefore is the justification for the radical change from the present approach to a revolutionary one,” he stressed.

Thank you, I couldn't have said it better. These people know that Nigerians have short memories and they take a free-ride to insult people's intelligence.

The rogue was a principal officer of the house during Bankole's tenure and was part of the collective decision to borrow from the Bank to finance the illegal increase in their salary and allowances which they hoped to smuggle into the following year's budget. So sweet of him to be talking of corruption and revolution!

donchris999: Tinubu have looted everything lagos state have to the extent of looting market men and women through his daughter. We need to start the revolution by sending the jagajaga of lagos state to exile. That man and the man am quoting are unrepentant criminals, we need to do something fast before this thieves sell lagosians. Oya those that see donchris in their dreams can start attacking me as usual. The jagajaga of lagos is the most corrupt man africa has ever produced. Lol! IBB must be happy that someone has surpassed him. Looting lagos state government isnt enough for jagajaga he now loots market men and women. Next will be looting thugs in motor park.
