Y'all need to chill and get yourselves coordinated before you get yourselves arrested or shot at.

In other words....hold on for further info and don't make plans alone

barcanista:
Though tokaka raised a good question (what next after the demand has been met?). My proposal is that we nominate from among ourselves some people that will be tasked to probe into the earnings of Federal legislators, come up with a proposal for a REAL cut that is commensurate with their job (not just "salary cut" and as a group we send it to the NASS for adoption (of course they won't adopt it). We follow it up with a protest! Calling for their step-down or adoption of the proposal.

#A proposal though

I don't like you? You must be funny really to equate not liking some of your ways (inconsistencies, if you like) to not liking you.

To say that one is ashamed of Ben Murray Bruce is an understatement given what he promised before they were sworn in. His statements on this allowance thing are very disheartening and hope-killing. On the other hand (and surprisingly), Dino has remained consistent.

I have always said it that it is pure IDIOCY for anyone to blindly side with any politician IF he is not directly benefitting from his/her largesse. The only thing we stand to gain from the politicians as a people is through good governance they provide. Once they fail in that, we will be stuupid to support them.

. . . . . . . . . . .how long can you hold such a protest in the raining season? . . . . . . . . . . .at what point do you envisage that people will break and go back home? . . . . . . . . . . . .I repeat, start with your individual representatives, that way you will force them to talk and say where they stand (instead of hiding behind a collective decision) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it is high time one of these assembly members is made a scape goat using the recall power . . . . . . . . . . . .if 109 and 360+ are faced with a recall, what are the chances of not catching one fish?

Good move here..I'm in!!!

I suggest we create a BBM forum for communication of time and venue for Lagos state. Here is ma own pin:2639C30E !!!

Okay. What's the distance from Ojota to Alausa? I will truly hate for us to disrupt traffic flow with our march as such a thing can attract police attention and they with their stupidity may come and disband us saying we didn't obtain 'police permit or report' or whatever its called for the march!.
I believe its obviously stated! You rally a crowd to show your displeasure over matters that affects you negatively!.
Yes you are right!. When it comes to money and punny! They tend to think alike. Imagine how Ben Bruce before being sworn in was raining fire and brimstone only for him to come here and start saying NASS members are one and collective bla bla bla!.

Twitter is a better platform for this. Omojuwa, Ogundamisi, Ogunlesi and a host of others can coordinate this well. Tweet them with your idea if you like.

This should be like the second time I guess.

you are supposed to be listening to your Home Economics teacher in school but you are busy browsing. Drop your phone and concentrate.

Sorry to ask but do you live in Nigeria presently?

Most of these reps are no longer visible the moment they win elections. Some of them though have constituency office but they hardly go there. How do you then get to see or meet them? Besides, many of the electorates are so ignorant, docile and naïve that they prefer the peanuts they're given by these "thieves" to involving in a meeting to discuss issues like this one.

Nigerian politics has not evolved to the level you're talking brother.

As long as I am concerned the so-called police permit is illegal. There is a supreme court judgement affirming that. The walk will be managed so as not to disrupt flow of traffic. The walk will also create attention and cause some other people to join. Ojota isn't too far from Alausa. As long as the protest isn't violent and well managed, we are good to go. People with media contact can help out. When we agree on a position, I will broadcast to my bbm and WA contact. We can also create twitter awareness

Your blessing ? Explain what u mean by that

Have you ever heard these words "united we stand divided we fall?".

Whynotthetruth:
make sure you're noticed, you keep using distracting fonts to display childish intellect...mumu

Mynd44:
You fail to see how deep this is.

Each senator makes 30million per month in allowances
And earn about 2.4 million basic pay

What they will offer is to cut their salary by 50% which means their basic will be 1.2 but leave the allowance of 30 million.

You think all these was not looked at when the choice of senate president was being looked at? Y'all chose something else and now we have to start fighting

joseph1832:
Better still, can't we petition the body responsible for drafting NASS salary? I believe the legislators will say they are not the ones fixing their salary and renumerations...

See smart mumu...I was expecting something meaningful since you condemned the protest option only for you to spew trash...It's now clear with your type occupying same planet with us that common sense isn't common after all...

Do you know how long it will take to educate the constituents that will also have sycophants like you?

Do you know the resources involved?... will you provide those logistics?

Do you have luxury of time?

Do you know the process involved in the recall of representatives?

Do you know how herculean in nature such process is in reality?

olodo like you...just to make sure you're noticed, you keep using distracting fonts to display childish intellect...mumu

. . . . . . .cretin, it takes the same amount of time planning a protest with the same amount of time planning a recall . . . . . . . . .or you think the ordinary man will just land at your venue without knowing what he is getting there for? . . . . . . . . . . . . . .mooncalf, how many times have you protested against the excessiveness of legislators, and how many times have they obliged you? . . . . . . . . . .schmuck, when do you plan to stop looking at the distance as against starting the journey? . . . . . . . . . . . . . .nitwit, how many years do you want to spend barking before you start biting? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .doodle, if those assembly members have never felt your fangs, how the hell do you think they will ever take you serious? . . . . . . . . . . . . .you are beneath me, you sc.um!!
