The above is the reason why, even after 12 years, Nigeria does not seem to be getting anywhere fast. You ought to care . . . You are the one supposed to be in charge of ensuring all is going well, in this democracy. If you DO NOT CARE, how then do you expect anything to go well? or are you just a chronic complainer unwilling to do anything to change the situation?

yes u r correct, i know my senator hon pius ewerido delta central, i cnt point at any meaningful thing, this senators do, and the thing is we dnt even know what to do, to let them know, they are just wasting time there. I see them, set up commitees upon commitees, the pib have not been passed into law, the so called petrolem subsidy probe seem useless,since no evidence to jail d criminals and every other probes. Let them pass laws that will, encourage investment and promote locally made product. What stops the senate from making it compulsory for all public office holders, use nigerian made or assemble cars as their official cars, or our locally made shoes and fibrics. This guys are just selfish block heads jor.

gbajabiamila's job fair achieved a lot.it created a platform for employers and job hunters to liase.femoo has done considerably well in the assembly.he does his job as a legislator.you can always see that he does his research on any bill been sponsored.he comes ready with his points and is always at sitting

Mathew Omegara(rep.okigwe north, imo) n Sen. Uche 'Isikaraka' Chukwumerije. We lov u in uturu, abia

How do 1 score legislooters?

Is it for their undeserved ridiculously high paychecks, allowances, allocations, estacodes and outright bribery & corruption?

Or for their yes and nays?

Or for the fact that they've all gone AWOL from their constituencies since relocating to Abuja and became incommunicado to the people that voted for them.

The ones at the state assemblies aint better too.

Shio, which scorecard?

Hon. Emeka Nwogbo rep Awka north & south fed const. nothing to write home about and as for Sen. Chris Ngige, God help us this time.

My own senator na only during campaign we d c him wen he cm share t-shirt n rice n salt, my rep i neva c him b4

Do you know that I sent a message to my senator yesterday, as if I know that this thread will come up, and the senator ignored my message.
I am talking about Senator Ayogu Eze and the question was about his stewardship.
He is the senate chairman committee on works yet Enugu-Nsukka road remains a death trap. Single lane. The only road linking Nsukka and Enugu and Enugu to the northern Nigeria.
These senators are rude. Obj captured them so well.
If your senator who is supposed to be resenting you ignores your message, it means you are nobody before him.

Senator ke...do i even know him or her?

Senator-Hope Odidika Uzodinma : owerri west
Now lives in abuja..
What a wondeRful man... He's now building a wonderful house in the village.
And like GEJ, he's been reaching his people through facebook updates...
Wonderful man!

I was just thinking some time ago that i've never seen my rep saying anything on t.v, never even heard his name since after the elections. Funny thing is people came out en-masse to vote for him hoping he'd be better than the then-incumbent. Now i don't know what to think cos the former one was pretty active, active enough to join the 'Dino' fight. :-/

Its not the job of a legislator to provide infrastructure or engage in welfarist agenda.their primary duty is to make laws and its in that regard you can assess them.moreover the creation of committees was intended to make oversight more effective and that seems to be the major activity that goes on in the assembly.if you want to assess your lawmaker,find out his committee and how effective he is in the committee.also find out what bills he has sponsored or been a part of its enactment

They should all b stricken wit illnesses ranging from Lassa fever to chronic Madness to cerebral malaria. No b wen person attempt to do or do sometin we go access dem.

The hiest a senator can do is to give his constituency a borehole that cannot work without phcn, the rest is history. One day go be one day o!

[size=14pt]What Are the Duties of Senators?[/size]

Proposing Laws
The most important duty senators have is to write, propose and help to pass federal laws.

Voting
Senators are required to make decisions in several topics both as recorded and unrecorded votes on the floor and in committees. Therefore, senators need to be knowledgeable, able to evaluate information from sometimes conflicting sources and make decisions benefiting their constituents. In addition, the Senate is responsible of holding impeachment trials, approving or denying treaties negotiated by the president and accepting or rejecting Presidential appointments.

Serving in Committees
Senators usually serve on four committees that requires them to become experts in the topics of their committee assignments. As a member of a committee, a senator needs to attend meetings, question witnesses, prepare amendments to bills, vote and write committee reports.

Representing Constituents
Senators represent the states they were elected from, so they need to follow the media and visit their home states to be able act as links between the state and the federal government. In addition, senators request federal funding for projects and programs in their home states and help their constituents to apply for federal benefits and grants.

Managing an Office
Senators have an average of 38 staff members in their Washington and district offices. Each senator is responsible of running his or her own office, supervising the staff, budgeting the personal and office expenses and balancing the expenses at the end of the fiscal year.

Maintaining Campaign Organization
Senators are responsible of running their own election and reelection campaigns. To get elected or reelected, senators need to organize and attend fundraising events, make public appearances, take positions on issues and create campaign strategies.

kobo kobo abeg park well joo, how many of those in elective positions do Nigerians really know before they cast their votes for them.
Haven't you heared of 'turn by turn Nigeria plc' before?

You should be condemning it, not praising it. Especially when you consider the fact that the money they are taking their turns on is money that belongs to you and your children . . . money that may not be there when your kids grow up and need it.

What is happening is the stealing of the future of your children here. American situation called theirs the mortgaging away of the future of their kids and they are fighting to making sure that the problem is rectified. What are we doing to make sure that our kids are not FORCED back into slavery if they want to continue living on this planet?

People need to start seeing things are they are. The future of your children, and their children's children is being stolen in your koro-koro. Your acceptance of it is basically you taking a knife to the neck of your own grandchildren and killing their dreams yourself.
