Media and social media blackmail is useless and doesn't hold sway..... especially if the blackmailers are of a certain head shape.

What did you just say? You are too partisan and sentimental for a mod.

You get time.

Even my community leader can build toilets if he wants to.

The guy you're quoting has been brainwashed by politics. Imagine saying in spite the hate, he'll go on to win elections.

What sort of comment is that? If the majority are not happy with him then how would he win Kwa? By rigging?

APC use the word "hate" a lot. Meanwhile, their era is the first time anti people policy decisions spiraled into genocidal proportions. They hate a large proportion of the Nigerian populace, to the extent of border blockades, food embargoes, arms control for innocent people being killed,kidnapped and terrorized, while the culprits bear arms with bravado, even to the point of being released when caught red handed.
MEANWHILE, AS SOON AS THERE IS CRITICISM, THEY BRING OUT THE WORD "HATE."
GOD WILL HAVE THE FINAL WORD.

The do not receive constituency allowance. It never goes into their account, the ministry of works pays it to the contractors.

Their job is to suggest projects and contractors. Even the awarding of such contracts is dependent on the approval of the ministry

And he suggested the building of toilets and wooden bridges?

Mynd44 is better as a mute moderator! Speaking from experience.

True.. He doesn't comment that much. I think he is just using this to generate traffic ... He isn't that daft, trust me.

As for Desmond Iscariot, he can still redeem his image. A one storey block of 5 classroom up and down shouldn't cost up to 6m, in the absence of corrupt practices, so let him select 5 schools in Surulere, and carry out such project. Atleast, his image will be redeemed gradually.

My local government chairman in Orile Agege is building a wonderful health centre along Ipaja road (close to Iyana-Ipaja), how much more someone in Desmond's position

Educate yourself Oga Ade, they receive constituency allowance. It was formally given every 3 month but the duration has been reduced to monthly.

Constituency allowance is what makes their take home swell that's why its called jumbo pay. It comprises of many allowances such as newspaper allowance, domestic staff allowance, wardrobe allowance, travelling allowance and every other allowance you can think of.

Constituency allowance is different from constituency project which is equal amount of money budgeted to all States of the federation including FCT to be allocated to all constituency within that state for project. The legislator influence type of project, contractor and location of the project which gives them opportunity to get certain percentage of the money

Its not just about the statutory duties here, every honourable/senator has a constituency project duely allocated for yearly. its there own form of SR i.e social responsibility.
so its not out place when people make demands or ask for a better project. building such bridge & toilet in a developed place like surulere is a big shame to desmond credence. from time immemorial naa middle class + rich class dominate that axis. check the rent

U really haven't said anything. How is "everything that happens in this world blamed on Desmond Elliott"? When did that happen?

Lol this guy and his utterly naive questions. What do they say again about people who don't get the joke when every other person in the room has? That fits you perfectly. I'm sure lots of people avoid quoting you because of your off-point comments which you often try to pathetically disguise as intelligent questioning.

Anyway, to answer your question, not every comment is to be taken literally. If you are familiar with Twitter, you'd know that Desmond Elliot regularly trends there as the butt of several jokes, chief among them being the one held responsible for everything that goes wrong with everybody and everything in Nigeria. I guess this came about because of his not so impressive "projects" commissioned in his consistuency and of course his endsars debacle which he was never really forgiven for.

Are you being deliberately d*mb?

I just told you that the OP's comment was based on a popular JOKE about Desmond Elliot on Twitter. Yet you are asking him to PROVE a joke?
Have you ever heard of the term Hyperbole? You are asking him to demonstrate how a hyperbolic joke is factually correct? Are you a 4 year old kid?

I give up. Jeez! such a time-waster.

The "hate" is silly and baseless. Nigerians want to cruise and joke about with very serious issues especially people on social media.

Sometimes you read things and you wonder how educated people reason like that

See the way Seun moderator dey disgrace himself publicly because he's partisan.

Seun, you really need to drop some of your moderators, Fynestboi and farano hardly come online to carry out their duties in the celebrity section.

Mynd44 is partisan and biased... He is unfit to handle any section.

Justwise is flexing muscles with members in travel section.

I might get ban for saying this, but it's the bitter truth.
