An average Nigerian is just a political
bystander. Many of them don’t know
who their local government chairmen
and councillors are and what they are
elected to do. But let’s forget about the
local government chairmen and
councillors; they have never been
useful to us, anyway. Let’s talk about
the ‘bigger fishes’ — the guys in the
National Assembly.

The ordinary Nigerian does not have
the constitutional authority to vote on
appropriations, but the guys in the
National Assembly do. An average
Nigerian does not set fiscal policy; our
representatives in the National
Assembly do. The ordinary Nigerian,
even though most of their daily
activities revolve around money, does
not control monetary policy; the guys
in the National Assembly do. The
National Assembly consists of the
Senate and the House of
Representatives, made up of 109
senators and 360 members
respectively. When both are added up,
it gives 469. These 469 people are the
469 problems the country has been
plagued with since 1999.

Let’s take a look at the fraud played
on the masses by these 469 men and
women. Since 1999, these men and
women have spent so much money
and energy convincing you and I that
the deplorable state of the nation has
got nothing to do with them. The
disagreement they’ve often had on
almost every issue raised on the floor
of the House has been blamed on
party differences, but in defrauding
Nigerians, they have always
cooperated and differences in their
political parties have never been an
issue. They are quick to exonerate
themselves and make it seem like the
President is the cause of all the
country’s problems. They wrote the
constitution in a way that the
President is shackled only to the
powers to propose bills. And they have
made it certain that he cannot force
them to accept the bills. They
fashioned the constitution in a way
that it awards them the sole
responsibility of originating
appropriations. For instance, the
Senate President and his fellow
senators can approve any budget they
want. Even if the President vetos it,
they can go ahead and pass it over his
veto. They are the people responsible
for all the problems we are facing as a
nation.

Since 1999, these 469 men and women
have effortlessly dangled over 160
million Nigerians like puppets. Of
course, they didn’t forget to tweak the
law to shield themselves from
prosecutions. Have you heard that no
matter the level of crime committed,
they cannot be arrested on the
grounds of the National Assembly?
Mehn, what a job to have! This is by
far the easiest job in the country with
the fattest remuneration. You get so
relaxed that all you do is sleep and
snore during deliberations and get
paid for it. For Christ’s sake, who gets
paid for sleeping and snoring? It has
become very inconceivable to me that
a country of over 160 million people
cannot replace these 469 men and
women who stand convicted by the
present facts of incompetence and
irresponsibility. It will do us a whole
lot of good if everyone of these men
and women is voted out and replaced
with fresh thinkers in the coming
general elections.

You can’t think of a single problem we
are facing as a nation — from bad
roads to the decay in our education
and health sector and non-
implementation of budgets — that is
not traceable to these 469 guys. When
you really understand the truth that
these guys exercise so much power
than any other arm of government,
then you will understand that what
exists is what they want to exist. If the
state allocations are unfair, it is
because they want it unfair. If the
national treasury is empty, it is
because they want it empty. If our
soldiers are deployed anywhere, it is
because they want them there. There
are no insoluble government
problems. These 469 men and women
are damn lazy, even lazier than our
court judges and their white lazy wigs.
Let’s stop allowing these 469 men and
women in the ancient trade of
laziness transfer the blames of their
incompetence to other arms of
government, whom they hire and
whose jobs they can abolish whenever
they want.

Let’s stop them from further fooling
us with the same lame excuses of the
existence of cabals and mystical forces
affecting the economy and causing
inflation. They have blamed these
mystical forces as what prevent them
from doing what they took oaths to do.
These 469 men and women alone
should be held responsible for every
setback we have as a nation. They and
they alone have the power, so they
and they alone should be held
accountable by the masses who are
supposed to be their bosses, that is if
Nigerians are enlightened enough to
know that they have the power as
bosses to fire or recall anyone of these
lazy 469 representatives back to their
constituencies.

true
but there r parliaments everywhere in d world.
Nigerians should start from changing themselves first.

for example.. spacebookers on NL are seatbookers in classes, spacebookers in bank halls , slot bookers in getting jobs.

its not far fetched.

oh, no

Nigerians only have only ONE problem - LEADERSHIP. Resolving that will get every other thing in line. Please avoid complication our difficult situation.

This Wind of Change will fix that and we can start the process of rebuilding Nigeria to what it should be at the top. Sai Buhari.

Politics anywhere is a big business. Its the only business you get paid for do nothing,littel wonder people kill to get there..

So its not peculiar to Nigeria alone..

What can be done?

We pray to elect leaders with good heart,who puts the interest of the public first,without that,it will be business as usual.

Thanks for the info
