Rivers senator to colleagues: We’ll get 5m youth off the streets if we sell some of our cars



by Dyepkazah Shibayan



Andrew Uchendu, senator representing Rivers east, has asked his colleagues to sell some of their cars and use the proceeds to empower unemployed youth in the country.

He made the point while contributing to a debate at the senate on Thursday.

Shehu Sani, senator representing Kaduna central, had drawn the attention of his colleagues to the killing of Faye Mooney, a British tourist, and Matthew Oguche, her partner, at Kajuru Castle in Kaduna state.

In his contribution, Uchendu said unemployment was fueling insecurity.

On the suggestion of his colleagues putting up their car for sale, Uchendu said proceeds from this could be used to establish factories that can take over five million jobless youth off the streets.

“We own three, four, five vehicles and I’m sure we can do much better with two,” he said.

“Our contemporaries in US, do they own four vehicles on the road? If we dispose of our two vehicles and use the proceeds to set up a small industry, wouldn’t we be engaging five youths – we will be taking more than five million youth from the highway.”

The senator wondered why recommendations of a security summit held by the senate had not been implemented.

“Under your leadership there was a security summit, conclusions were reached to study all the contributions and make appropriate recommendations, the question I want to ask is where do we go from there?” he asked.

“Has anything been done, if nothing has been done, why? We come here everything violence and security and all that.

“Who are the key drivers of this process, these killings, the youths. They have two vital assets, time and energy. Until our youths are a engaged, Mr President, this problem will continue.”

The story of Musa Usman, the honest Gate man who rejected the offer to own a house but rather prefer a borehole in his community so that his people can have clean portable water should motivate our greedy Senator's to enact this brilliant suggestion....

Take nothing away from the 8th Senate, they've been the best so far BUT we need them to take decisions that would make Nigerians be proud of their country again.

Maximum respect to Andrew Uchendu, kindly LEAD and walk-the-talk.

God bless Nigeria.

God bless Delta State

God bless Chief James Onanefe Ibori

Oga start by selling yours and watch others follow your step.

Mr Ben talked with no single action/example. Sehu Dani also is there and even Rochas, none did single thing out of what they preached.

I fear Nigeria senators the most. They are the real problem of this country. Very wicked set of people.

Senator Ayogu eze constructed road from the federal road into his father's house, the remaining part in that same road, he only dredged. Now he wish to become the governor and his poster was saying "nke anyi ka mma (our own is better). I just love what he got even in his home during the election. Just 10,000 in the whole of Enugu state. That's even with rigging o.


Oga abeg lead by example

My dear don't fall for this cheap scam. Mr Twitter senator talked more, yet he never did any.

Ben Bruce spoke, spark and spat but never for once did he give out even if its newspaper allowance or did he commissioned any project by him in his constituency. All this politicians are birds of a feather.
This one want to start his own.
