Nigerian Legislators On 6 Weeks Recess For Ramadan - Good/Bad? by Remii(m): 10:33pm On Aug 01, 2011 |
Both the Senate and House of Representatives have proceeded on 6 weeks recess to "observe" Ramadan fasting. The fasting is 4 weeks so why 6 weeks. Other Nigerian workers are on duty during Ramadan, what is the justification for this. We all read in the newspapers how American Legislators worked through the weekend to prevent first ever Americans government default. Are these set of politicians that will deliver Nigeria from present parambulations? |

50% of the legislators will not be missed if they stay on recess for the next 365 days. |

THESE GUYS ARE LAZY, WE DONT HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THESE HOUSES OF LEGISLATURE. IMAGINE THE TYPE OF BILLS THEY GIVE PRIORITY TO(bills to increase thier welfare and secure thier positions) THEY SHOULD DO WHAT THEY LIKE,WE KNOW THEY ARE THERE TO SATISFY THIER POCKETS, EVERYONE WILL GET COLDER AS LONG AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES THIS WAY AND POLITICIANS STEAL WITH IMPUNITY,WE THE YOUTHS DONT BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM. GOD KNOWS WE DONT HAVE ANY LOVE FOR THESE POLITICIANS. THE NIGERIAN YOUTH CAN NOT RENT AN APARTMENT,LANDLORDS CHARGE TWO YEARS RENT BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF HOUSES AVAILABLE IS LOW. PASS BILLS TO BUILD PUBLIC/LOW COST HOUSING TO COMPETE WITH THE LANDLORDS.THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT. PLEASE WAKE UP,HOW LONG WILL YOU ALLOW MONEY BLIND YOU TO YOUR DEATH. NO ONE IS HAPPY,NO ONE IS SAFE. |

Beaf: This situation calls for outrage not a cynical shrug of the shoulders. |
Re: Nigerian Legislators On 6 Weeks Recess For Ramadan - Good/Bad? by tunnytox(m): 4:50pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
So what about other Muslims working during Ramadan? Must the country grind to a halt becos of Ramadan? Bunch of useless lazy idiots if only they truly serve God I'm sure we wouldn't be in the mess we are in Nigeria today. |
Re: Nigerian Legislators On 6 Weeks Recess For Ramadan - Good/Bad? by sharpman1(m): 4:53pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
The government should simply declare a 6 weeks public holiday so we can all observe Ramadan. |

Re: Nigerian Legislators On 6 Weeks Recess For Ramadan - Good/Bad? by Koolking(m): 5:00pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
GOOD jor. Dont ask me twice. What do they do they there? Each time they sit, they receive sitting allowances. Their 6 weeks allowances have been paid upfront. Whether they convene or not, it is same same. |
Re: Nigerian Legislators On 6 Weeks Recess For Ramadan - Good/Bad? by Demdem(m): 5:04pm On Aug 02, 2011 |

You would think that perhaps during Ramadan these rascals would use that period of self deprivation to work EVEN HARDER to solve the problems facing the country,but No,they want to stay at home,get paid and scallywag around.I say term limits of 2 years for ALL Parliamentarians. |

Where is the link for the piece of worrying news, @OP? A recess period spanning 6 weeks, for Ramadan, when even the folks in Saudi Arabia do not treat government business with such latitude http://www.arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article447947.ece "EDDAH: Government employees in the Kingdom will have only a 10-day holiday for the Eid Al-Fitr this year. The shortest ever break from work to mark the Eid Al-Fitr will start on Thursday, Aug. 25 (Ramadan 25) and end on Saturday, Sept. 3 (Shawwal 5), according to the Hijri calendar" |
