I'M THINKING ALOUD THIS MORNING; For evil to prevail, good people have to keep quiet, this is the time to mobilize all young people to move this nation forward, let's say no to the biggest Armed robbery gang in Nigeria, they don't carry gun, they don't sweat, they only dress in Agbada or suit and go to a house called HOUSE_OF_ASSEMBLY and they loot the nation dry.

As if it's not enough that they are the most paid House-of assembly in the world, as is if is not enough that they are about one of the largest houses in the world in terms of numbers - 109 for senate, 360 for house of representative, their allowances are unthinkable, the most recent being the 9 BILLION Naira for WARDROBE ALLOWANCE alone, that's approximately 20 million naira per member for just clothes, this is against the backdrop of a lot of unpaid salaries of workers at the federal and state levels, of the bad state of the economy due to fallen oil price, of the huge dept incurred by the country from the last administration at all levels, federal and states.

Now we're yet to talk about other allowances, that will definitely be higher than this one; housing allowance, furniture allowance, vehicle allowance, hardship allowance, miscellaneous allowance, all kinds of allowances --- these are same people who don't create any tangible laws except the ones that enriches them more or protect them from prosecutions, some of them go to the house to sit down throughout their four years in the house, some even go there to sleep, these are all legalized money o!, they will yet steal some illegally.Then their is the state house, with about 800 or more members, some states houses have two representatives for a local government,those ones too will do their own, but really, we can't see the effect, we don't know what laws they're creating

No matter the intentions of Buhari and Osinbajo, I don't know how anybody can do anything meaningful under this atmosphere, after these thieves have finished looting the whole treasury, what will be left to do anything meaningful for the masses? We must not wait for another 4years to start shouting, THE CHANGE WE WANT IS NOT A PARTY, but that our lives, Nigerians' lives gets better - we want light, we want good roads, infrastructures, better internet services, Jobs for the unemployed, they won't happen with these thieves taking the country's throat by the jugular.

Don't understand you, Is it our votes that made all the parties voted for to AGREE to defraud Nigeria, Is it our votes that made this house with people from all tribes to steal our common wealth? The people you voted for, are they not their?

This the problem I have with us, when we raise issues, people bring it back to parties, tribe, religion, that's why our leaders have a field day.

Ordinary folks come on forums like Nairaland and insult, curse other people, cursing themselves in the process over these guys. They create a divide between the citizens. Meanwhile they're united when it comes to sharing obscene amounts of money. There's no party, tribe or religion at that point, they're in full agreement to loot state funds. We young people are the ones that fall for their scam the most, we're the ones they use as distraction while they in unison carry out these heinous crimes on the country.

You see the state of classrooms and you weep and some people want to share N8.9B as miscellaneous. Our roads are horrible, everything in this country is a mess. They say our revenue has dropped so everyone has to be ready to go through difficult times yet our so called leaders want to take N8.9B as miscellaneous. The bridge in Kano that was named the longest flyover in west Africa cost N5.9B and that figure I'm sure includes the already over bloated contract figure as per Naija standards. We're in desperate need for more of these projects but what's important for people that are supposed to serve us and protect our interest is their clothing and entertainment allowance.

These guys want us to remain poor while they stack wealth so that when they throw crumbs to us, they can pretty much do what they want. Let's be united ones and for all regardless of party, tribe, religion and fight these thieves in the NASS

yes,it is
when voters(majority by omission or commision) sacrifice their conscience for a mess of pottage then should not expect anything from their leaders as they have tacitly endorsed their profligate ways

because those that did not collect money at rallies voted for what they could"see" ;part logo/slogan,tribal and religious affiliation instead of credible candidates we vote for "credible candidates
