We are revolting on NL, do yourself a favour, just step into NASS complex and you will be amazed by the type of cars these Thiefnators and Thiefratives are driving. They have dedicated elevators and wifi access as fast the speed of light, but NEPA is not their friend.

Well, for all the shouting we do on NL, we need to transform noise making to actions. These guys are stealing us dry, and I be you we still have people on here that will defend them.

Look at Ibori,his enjoying massive support from some people on this forum. And that is the reason i am convinced we have a Nigeria we all deserve. If you do nothing, people will take advantage and fhuk you from all corners. Welcome to Nigeria

What is the solution? I am sure 90% of Nairalanders will say "Let us go and talk to them maybe they will stop being immoral and corrupt" lipsrsealed Trust Nigerians, the solution to every problem is not far from Talk, Pray and Kiss-ars.e grin

Nigerian police officers deserve to get more money than those thieving and perverted comedians called senators.
Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by doctorbabs(m): 1:00pm On May 29, 2010
how do we want to stop corruption in this country, no way! we are just wasting our time and money on the crusade in as much as people who suppose to be our servant now turn that place for avenue for them to enrich themselves. if Bankole happened to be a civil servant and worked for 200years, he can never realized such a huge amount. we just started everybody we look for every avenue to make money in this country unless we make that place less attractive. this country is set for doomed

Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by bigdoo: 1:47pm On May 29, 2010
Nigeria needs to replicate what Rawlings did in Ghana if we are serious about getting ourselves out of our present predicament. Unless all the looters of government treasury are rounded up and killed, this country will only continue to go down. The looters have become so comfortable with luxurious lifestyle and the fact that they go scotch free with their booty. They buy private jets, build mansions, buy houses overseas worth millions and billions of dollars and pave the way for their children and grandchildren to become future rulers of Nigeria. They buy bullet proof cars and provide themselves with adequate security so that nobody can reach them and their families. They have high jacked the entire system like a cabal or kind of Nigerian mafia. They have become so pompous because they feel that nobody can challenge them in a system where money is everything.

I will not be surprised that when Nigerian politicians feel that they have become too unpopular with the Nigerian populace and if there is enormous pressure or serious threat by the masses, the politicians can will out power to the military and allow them to take their own turn in looting our money for a period of time. And when the masses start crying out once again for democracy and protesting about the military, then in a similar compensatory gesture the military will hand over power to the politicians once again. By then the nation would have been taken over 70 years backward. Laconically, Nigeria will continue to go round in a viscous circle of poverty and self destruction unless something very drastic is done now. Nigerian leaders (civilian or military) have no plans of making Nigeria to become a better place for everybody because there is nothing for them to benefit in doing so. The masses need to device a way of salvaging themselves.
Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by kshow1(m): 1:49pm On May 29, 2010
This is one of the reason why the country is a failed nation.

ALL WE NEED IS A REVOLUTION TO SANITIZE THE SYSTEM.

PDP can not win any state in nigeria, expect by rigging.

Show us. for 12 years what the PDP have done in the nigeria. ,  zeroo. why should the nigeria vote for PDP.
After 12 years, the people of nIgeria are feedup with PDP. Even polls shows 75% of nigerian do not want the PDP to return back into government. 

75% of nigerian do not want the PDP back to power. After 12 years of the PDP have not done anything for nigerian.
Most nigerian score the PDP zero in the poll.

Electricity PDP score zero
Education PDP score Zero
Road PDP score zero.
Health PDP score zero
Transportation PDP score zero
Food and agric PDP score zero
Steal government fund PDP score 100%

The poll also shows most nigerian are counting on the labour party to win 2011 election.

You are quick to point at the speck in another's eye, whilst a log covers your. May I humbly point put it to you that people don't create sentences they make them.
What are you studying? What education do you have? Where have you worked? Mr. Eze please show decorum by keeping quiet. You will be stunned by what some of us on this forum have done.

You must be a Yoruba as well, because you skipped what was said to me and zero in on my comment which was a response to an attack on my intelligence. Hush up if you have nothing else to provide on this thread. I was simply responding to someones attack on me.
Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by kildran: 4:23pm On May 29, 2010
@Ezeuche
I am a Nigerian, I have no issues to this argument. I just didn't like the fact that you seemed a little arrogant. This a forum where we can freely express our opinions, if you keep insulting people based on their poor education you rid them of what may be their only outlet. I just want us to address issues, as up and coming Nigerians, and not make anyone feel inferior. Can we do that
Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by EzeUche(m): 4:27pm On May 29, 2010
kildran,

Ok, let me reiterate this so this can get through your thick head, my response was directed at someone who insulted my intelligence you dunce. How hard is it for you to understand? Are you blind? Did you see the post that were directed to me? Did you have a problem with those responses? Or did your tribal lens zero in on my Igbo identity, so you had to attack me?

Stop the hypocrisy, if you are not going to state that the others I was arguing with were wrong, then you need to shut up, because you have nothing to add, because I will deal with you as well.

I hate posters who make asinine statements. I really do. Sometimes I play around, but when someone wishes to attack my intelligence, then I will show you the true errors of your ways.
Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by kildran: 4:34pm On May 29, 2010
@Ezeuche
Two wrongs never make a right, you seem to have adequately addressed those people using caustic remarks and cuzz words. I am trying to be civil with you and you are calling me a dunce, that does not potray you as an even mannered gentry. I am not going to stoop and insult you, you seem to have a case of misdirected aggression.
Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by EzeUche(m): 4:39pm On May 29, 2010
kildran,

Save your passive aggressive responses for someone else. I am not going to tolerate such insubordination from a biased poster. Yes, you are a dunce. You should be happy I did not use such harsher words. The word lacks in its intensity compared to a cuss word, but for a somewhat intelligent poster, the point can be still made.

I do not compare myself to the so called Nigerian "gentry." I am a part of the petty bourgeois social class in both the United States and Nigeria.

However, you are not even discussing the topic, but making it a personal issue. Stick to the facts or move on.

Friend, you just insulted yourself with that word. Anyways its all good, all in a day's laugh. I totally agree with your postts on this thread. However I do not think your manner is appropriate. Anyways we are good. I gtg my Igbo babe is around, I don't have to upset her.
Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by dgr8truth(m): 6:34pm On May 29, 2010
I get sick every day when i hear of the huge sum of money politicians corner to themselves. I am afriad of reading the news papers because of the news of political scam. I get tired of people waiting for God to and help. Is't to hard to start a revolution in this country. Why are we so religious. These bloodly politicians need jungle justic to curb their excesses.

Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by redsun(m): 7:08pm On May 29, 2010
Honestly in nigeria the people that contributes more to the nation building are the least less regarded and rewarded.Market women and local farmers are more resourceful and more productive than the so-called senator aka law breakers,all they do is break the law of the land and loot the nation's coffer dry.
