One of the representatives just accused the Executive of trying to blackmail the house by setting up their member in connivance of the security operatives.

The house thereafter passed a vote of confidence on the leadership of the house.

The speaker also instructed that Hon. Emenalo be investigated by a committee of the house to know his level of involvement in the bribe saga.

Passing vote of confidence on the leader of the house? What the hell has that got to do with the issue? Who is that "Honourable" Samson Osagie doucebag? Gosh!
If he is fkrom your state DISOWN HIM! Instead of giving SSS a pat on the back for exposing the trite in congress you are talking about the house refusing to be blackmailed?

You are making it too easy for them and I keep saying we should stop doing this. We should stop saying things like "The house is corrupt", we really really should!
Such approaches takes away individual accountability of the people that make up that group. Shame names, shame individuals. When you shame the house who is really shamed? Its lets them off too easily. Who are the individuals that are being caught?

Name names
Re: LIVE: Special House Of Reps Session On Bribery Scandal by SkyBlue1: 11:47am On Jun 15, 2012
AM I REALLY HEARING THIS!!??

The speaker does not think the integrity of the report has not been eroded? Nigerians are too lazy if not some members of that house are seriously due for a recall. Did the doucebag not observe or learn of when names were taken off the list? Shocking!! That report isn't even valuable enough to use to wipe my nyansh as far as I am concerned.

The speaker said the fuel subsidy report remains valid and will not be compromised

He promised the house will investigate the saga and will not be cowed in their duties to the people

I stand very very firmly by what I have said. We let the house off too easily due to collective LAZINESS to hold our individual politicians to order. Do you know the person who represents you in that house? Do you know the senator who represents you? Do you know the name of your local government chairman? How many people can say they know this? THIS IS THE PROBLEM!

What would have happened if all we heard was the house took bribe without knowing it was Lawan? It would have been swept under the carpet. We need to start knowing WHO to apply pressure to. I am sure you heard growing up of the single broomstick and bundle of broomsticks. Together they are strong under a nameless and impersonal umbrella of "house of reps" and "senate". We need to stop being so lazy. Who is corrupt, who is chopping the money? Let us know who is doing what by name. Who else was in that committee?!!

They stole they stole. Who is the they, let us know whose house to burn? That is how you strike fear in that house!! There is too much comfort and protection in THEY. Let us know WHO. Cabal cabal cabal. Names please! No more of this nonsense.

The House of Reps constitutes committee of the whole to reconsider involvement of Otedola's company in fuel subsidy scam.

Are these guys jokers?

If the members of the house voted to take them companies out. Why are they now considering to put them in? It is a shame, I was thinking they should consider revisiting the whole situation again and do a proper investigation.
Re: LIVE: Special House Of Reps Session On Bribery Scandal by Nobody: 12:09pm On Jun 15, 2012
MAIN BUSINESS OF THE DAY:
According to the list, Zenon is alleged to have collected the sum of $232, 975, 385.13 while Synopsis Enterprises collected $51, 449, 977.47 for the year 2010 and refused to import any oil.

Good point, but also remember that the house was not full on that day if you recall. Still leaves a case to be answered. Couldn't the ones that were there think? As far as I am concerned that report can only be taken seriously in vague contexts at best and not specifics. How do we now know who should be on the list and is not there and who is there and shouldn't be?

Other members of that committee need to be grilled. I need to get those names. .

Better. Let Otedola now come and defend his company without the issue of bribe. Smart move I say. Politics in play now.

I have said this previously. They know we don't know them personally and hence they are not accountable to us but to their personal self. We need to start taking these issues seriously. Enough of these idleness and laziness or deliberate ignorance Nigerians. Else, these bunch of pretentious and bribe taking men and women, together with an executive arm, would ripe us off our dreams for a better Nigerian

I feel ashamed. Very shameful. Are these legislatures ? Farouk is greeted and handshakes ?
Re: LIVE: Special House Of Reps Session On Bribery Scandal by omosexy1: 12:21pm On Jun 15, 2012
As I watch these men and women laugh, I feel pain in my blood. They collectively think that some persons want to get the Leader of the House out. We are talking of corruption in the house, rather than them putting their heads to shame, they laugh with pride. How can we have a great nation with these people representing us. In developed countries, Farouk should have dropped his letter of resignation, likewise members of the committee. They (the house) voted to remove those names and now they want the names of the companies back. Is this how our house of representatives work? Jesus we are in trouble.

PS: Oh I feel like being in that house.

by doing that it is clear to all that they took bribe not only from otedola and from other companies! When the court case begins Ʊ would Ơ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡ how otedolas lawyers would shred the report
Re: LIVE: Special House Of Reps Session On Bribery Scandal by Nobody: 12:22pm On Jun 15, 2012
Otedola companies have been added to the 13 others to be investigated by the EFCC

House adjourned till 19th june.

Now let the real politicking begins........
Re: LIVE: Special House Of Reps Session On Bribery Scandal by Nobody: 12:22pm On Jun 15, 2012
Indeed!

Mr Speaker: "...resolution remains valid despite alleged corruption of one individual" grin
Then to drive a point home: "...executive is urged to match words with action"

Report remains sacrosanct (for now)!
Given the loss of 19 lives, this much is owed to Nigerians - all some of us ever asked for really.
