In recent times, the House of Representative appear to have dominated the print, electronic and social media with fruitless efforts aimed at restoring the lost credibility the House hitherto enjoyed. With the Herman Hembe and Lawan Farouk’s shady deals still fresh, one can say with a sense of hindsight that our representatives may not be honourable as they profess.
For instance, in 2007 the Supreme Court of Georgia in the United States revealed that one Femi Gbaja (Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila), with State bar number 288-330 was suspended from legal practice for 36 months, owing to his corrupt conduct, which saw him defrauding a client of the sum of $25,000, before fleeing to Nigeria to start a political career. Gbaja accepted payment of $25,000 as a personal injury claims and deposited those funds in his attorney trust account in January 2003. He failed to disburse the fund to his client; instead he withdrew the funds, closed his practice and left for Nigeria. Femi who evaded outright debarment by filling a petition for voluntary discipline before a panel led by Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, has since been at the National Assembly as the Representative of the Surulere Federal Constituency, Lagos State.
Just like any other duplicitous character, Femi Gbaja changed his name to Femi Gbaja-biamila, a name he now bears in the National Assembly.
Some of these questions will provoke a rational mind: why has Gbaja decided to abandon his degree obtained from John Marshall Law School? Why has he not visited the US since his return? Why did he change his original name? Remain glued as more revelations unfold.

The most crooked people are usually very intelligent.

the story is even old self.

I dey laugh o!

Only crooks makes noise in nigeria, the house of rep is stinking with corruption, they are fighting gej because he reduced there constituency project allowance from 40million to 20million and due process must be follow in awarding the contracts, a departure from the past where they award the contracts to there companies or simple pocket the money.sorry not business as usual.

Why do i feel the house ofnRep has the highest congregation of crooks nd thieves. I was listening to Raypower political platform this morning and my eyes were opened. I gathered that these house of Rep members are only kicking for d implementation of the budget cos they have all lined up their companies to get the contract to execute these project. These members have made itba habit of armtwisting the executive and govt parastatals to squeeze money out of them. Maybe we should just scrap these Dishonourable house.

My problem with these politicians is that they go and 'shit' abroad yet they come back to the shores of this country and start to "pontificate" on the Floor of the House, particularly those that have been short changed from deals!Thiefs!They will all be exposed very soon...Thunder Fire them!

afam4eva:

lol. That's true.

afam4eva:

Reminds me of the intelligent display of Achike Udenwa during his screening as a minister in Yar Adua regime . . .That man exhibited potent intelligence and was deft in dodging pitfall's questions

If he has a case in the US he should answer to it and resign. Or pay restitution to the aggrieved. He also needs to answer to the allegations, otherwise he lose credibility which was shaky in the first place.

Seriously, these people stink.

$25,000 is like 4million Naira, I am sure Gbajabiamila makes like this amount everyday in the Nigerian Senate and he still cant pay up? What a shame

Na wa!

He was also the one that rejected national honour last year.

If the "holy mallam" Farouk could be found in such mess, who is Femi?

I'm not moved with all those house bragado jare... They are all thieves.


Frawzey.

Jarus: He was also the one that rejected national honour last year.

A dishonourable man rejecting National Honour?Lol...Guess in his heart,he knew he wasnt worthy of it! I so wish once in awhile,people could just google these questinable characters just to know what atrocities they'v committed!U would be amazed the rot u find there

I feel some people are afraid, he seems to be having a rising political profile. A potential gubernatorial candidate.

I cannot ascertain the veracity of this report but all I know is that these so called noisemakers in the house are always hypocrites.
I will not be surprised if this is true. I know his type.
Saint in the morning. Witch at night.

if our reps can b so fraudulent and corrupt, i wonder d kind of policies the will form, can u imagine?he even changed his name, highest level of a criminal mind, anyway i trust d US govt, the can fish him out anytime he attempt to go there wheather with gbaja or gbajabi or gbajamilia...

Ahoda representathief...

Like the grand patron said during his recent interview...the internet has made it possible for one person to assume multiple personalities...why are you people doing this on NAIRALAND....opening multiple ID all over the place??

emiye: I feel some people are afraid, he seems to be having a rising political profile. A potential gubernatorial candidate.

The hawks at the Presidency...none of them I repeat can contest one on one with Femi....they are jittery....his potential combination with Tambuwal is giving them sleepless nights and this explain this "shoot him down at all cost" syndrome

Impeachment is knocking at the door of shikordi ologogoro of Aso rock and shameless operators of multiple ids and 40 laptop model can't stop it

i took time out to see if these allegations are true a,d i came up with this from wikipedia :
Femi Gbaja Biamila (born June 1962, surname also spelled Gbaja-Biamila and Gbajabiamila) is a Nigerian lawyer, Action Congress politician, and Minority Whip of the House of Representatives.

Education and personal life

Gbaja Biamila attended Igbobi College in Yaba, Lagos, King William's College on the Isle of Man, United Kingdom,[1] John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois, United States, and the University of Lagos in Lagos.[2]
Political career

Gbaja Biamila was elected to the House in 2003, and re-elected in 2007. He represents the Surulere I constituency of Lagos State (see Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Lagos) in the House of Representatives.[2] He is the house's Minority Whip.[3]

Gbaja Biamila has criticized members of Congress for switching parties. He suggested that many voters don't have access to the information to make choices based on every individual stance, and therefore are sometimes only vote for candidates based on their party alignment. He criticized floppers with this in mind, saying the effect "cannot be anything but negative."[4]

In September 2011, it was reported that Gbaja Biamila was implicated in a bribery scandal, with one lawmaker threatening to expose him to the media if he did not pay him back entirely.[5]
while i have issues with some of the policies of GEJ, i think those making all these noise can not be said to be doing it in the interest of the masses. why is it the impeachment of the president that they are spearheading?do they have vested interest in the budget? we need them to make laws to that have direct impact on our lives, instead they have been using their position to enrich themselves.. thieves

what an old man sees while sitting,a young boy may not see from the top of an iroko tree - African adage. This confirms d allegd presence of thieves, rogues and armed robbers in the house of reps. who is Gba ja bia mila? - gbewiri(thief), who is Far-croock (Farouk)Lawan? - barawo bansa (thief).

Ver amiable fellow well if his past is tainted, what is his present like. How has he performed since clinching the position of Hon. Rep

Once a thief, always a thief. They don't mean us well. House of Representathieves. Crook, all of them. They want to be bribed, that is why they are threatening impeachment. For this Gba-oleh, he stole from someone he was suppose to protect. God is watching. #naijagobeta
