In as much as I hate Obasanjo cos he is not any better, u can't just dicard his message. The national assembly members are the greatest enemies of this doomed nation of Nigeria. They are the ones that ve arrested the progress of this doomed nation and mortgage its future,that is if Nigeria ever had a future. With rogues as lawmakers, such a country can never be better than Yemen or Somalia. Even Syria at war is far better than Nigeria.

When u have animalistic and questionable character making laws, you can expect that there can never be any meaningful war against corruption cos they would enact laws that would pamper rather than fight corruption. Hence with weak laws and a corrupt judiciary one can see why EFCC can never be able to prosecute a single corrupt public office holder. It is for this reason I laugh when people wrongly attack the EFCC when they have their hands tied. Recall that when Bode George stole billions he got a mere 2 years in prison. When u ve such laws,myou pamper corruption. In other words, corruption pays afterall if it takes mere 2 years in jail to make billions then it is worth it afterall no one would make such money if you're free doing legitimate business.

If the national assembly gets so much in allowances and also get constituency allowances with which they claim to execute constituency projects which they never execute, you can imagine how these rogues are bleeding the economy. With the millions they get every quarter for constituency projects they would come and build toilets, sink borehole with bold inscription of their names on d projects for which they took so much and spent so little.

If the national assembly gets money to finance projects in their constituencies, then it is logical never to blame the executive alone for the infrastructural decay in this doomed nation. Also, because they are thieves, there are no measures or some form of audit of the monies they earn and spend on the so-called constituency projects.

By the way, the national assembly never finances projects but to make laws. That is d function of the executive but now that the legislature gets constituency projects, then it is logical for the judiciary as an arm of the government to get monies for constituency projects as well.
For them, it is business and they are out to make profit. The link below says it all.

When the likes of Saraki who was receiving pension from Kwara state govt as ex-governor while serving as a senator could come out to say he has stopped receiving his pension due to outcries and has not deemed it fit to deliberate on this isssue with his colleagues and enact laws on this issue then u can imagine how doomed such a nation is to ve such individual as it topmost lawmaker. Or what of roadside thugs like Dino Melaye flaunting ill gotten wealth, ex governors who looted their state treasuries like TA Orji, Danjuma Goje, Bukar Ibrahim among others making laws, such a country would remain doomed.

A bicamaral legislature is too expensive that countries like Ghana and Senegal had to do away with it why cant we if not for the greed of a few and the docile masses divided by ethnicity and religion that allows such nonsense to fester.

Because these rogues have so much money to throw away that is why the likes of Saraki could employ as much as nearly 300 aides to what only God knows. Even many rich industralized nation cannot afford the size and cost of the Nigerian legislature.

If the national assembly was reduced and we have a unicamaral legislature, nothing like constituency allowances, reduced pay for lawmakers and strong laws to fight corruption perharps the death penalty as it is in China, you can imagine the monies available for capital projects which is a key driver of the economic activities, job creation and wealth distribution. But sadly the wealth is only for a few and a thief would never shoot himself in the foot by enacting strong laws against stealing. So never expect anything good from these robbers including that useless Ben Bruce with his empty common sense rants and that hypocritical Shehu Sani who can only boast of empowering his constituents with camels and radios.

Nigeria has no future, no hope and is heading indefinitely to the rocks. Even the Devil has more hope of making heaven than for this doomed nation to ever sniff progress and development. Nigeria is a disgrace to the black race. It is hopeless far beyond redemption.

Moganajoe:


And i also say to myself, we need someone like OBJ to tell us the truth. I dont care how corrupt he is. Again, 'I asked myself' since the issue of padding was realed by suspended member, what has been done??

They said it's normal coz the practise (padding) has there for a long time. Therefore, is normal

GogobiriLalas:
oloshious fellow, why don't you at least commend the repentant theif at least....what has made you so cynical?

Max24:

And so they should continue stealing? Who bears the brunt at the end of the day? - you and I.Corruption must be roundly condemned by all not tolerated.

Anini calling Shini Rambo a thief. Thief call thief thief.
