Non violent confrontation of these politicians may be the change we really need. If everyone is held to account, we would see development

pokipoki:

The difference between the northern and southern youths is that the southern youths know that with or without the help of their representative, they will make it . Unlike the northerners who believe that an individual or something must bail them out from poverty.

I just dey shake my head as I dey read this your comment...


People dey deal with their representative, you dey talk this one.

TonyeBarcanista:
I'm so impressed by these northern youths unlike the yoots we have down south

Yoots in the south? Please talk about yourself oooo. My Governor is Ambode, I dont have any reason to call him out yet.

My senator is Yayi, I call him out when I feel he js talking kpaks.

How many tines have you called out Dickson and your senator?

Dont lump everyone together

Good development!

.. Dumb comment

Young03:
One of the reasons I like the northerners

in south na youths go dey hail him

Despite all this a slight mistake by a northerner, our southern brothers would be lebelling the entire north as illiterate. Then who is who?

Dia eye don dey open. Good!

Sibe007:
Very good...

More of that, hopefully in the South.

All though the best thing to do is to recall non performing reps and senators. That might still take a while...but soon.

Imagine since 1999 till now, none has been recalled home tho we know of many ineffective and useless reps and senators.

Most times its only God (The universe, nature) that calls them home.

If we deserve better, we should demand better...

Please educate me.
Can a bona-fide elected representative of the legislature be recalled by the constituents before the end of his/her 4year term?

Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution provides 10 clear but tortuous steps on how a senator can be recalled from the Senate.

The steps are:
1 More than half of the registered voters in the Senator’s senatorial district write, sign and send a petition to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC alleging their loss of confidence in the senatorial

2 The petition must be signed, and arranged according to polling units, wards, Local Government Areas, and constituency.

3 INEC notifies the Senator sought to be recalled, stating that it has received a petition for his or her recall, if the petition is valid

4 INEC issues a public notice or announcement stating the date, time and location of the verification of signatures to the petition

5 INEC verifies the signatures to the petition at the designation. The signatories must be individuals who appear on the voters’ register.

6 INEC conducts a referendum if more than one half (50% + 1) of the signatories are verified

7 INEC writes to the petitioners stating that the minimum requirements for a referendum were not met, if the number verified is less than one half of the registered voters in that constituency. The petition will therefore be dismissed.

8 INEC conducts a referendum within 90 days of receipt of the petition if the minimum requirements for a referendum are met. The referendum will be a simple yes or no vote on whether the Senator should be recalled, and will be decided by simple majority of the votes of the persons registered to vote in that Senator’s constituency.

9 If majority of the voters in the constituency vote ‘yes’ the Chairman of the INEC will send a Certificate of Recall to the Senate President to effect the recall.

10 The Senate President will show affected senator the way out of the Senate.

if it was dino some people 'll be so hapi n mistakenly hug transformer.
dino has attracted 13 projects as a senator to kogi. he's not just abuja senator, he visit home at regular interval.
wailers will come n wail forgetin that dino is only representing kogi west n not Nigeria.

it's not your fault it because English no allow us to know your senator. it's high time saraki allows local languages in the senate plenary.

Oga pls just mention one project Dino has attracted to his people. just one.

Yet some youth from a part of south cry at every given little opportunity of being marginalized and even want dismemberment of the country!

Nigerians don dey wise up, hopefully from 2019, they will apply this attitude to voting.

akinsadeez:
When will the youths in Dino Melaye's constituency do this?

When will you do the same to the senator representing your own constituency?

AMAZING! !!
Check comments nah
"Thats why I like northern youths", "only in the north do youths stand up to their leaders".

But create a thread with "transistor radiio" or "re-election" and these same dudes ll shout "aboki mentality", "jihadist boffun", "zomBies".

Monday morning lesson: don't take nairaland comments seriously

What do you expect from jobless and hungry youth? The earlier they begin to be useful for themselves the better for them.
Parasites looking for who and what to feed on.
