Fake news from the stable of the nation who knows that many Nigerians will believe their lies and
not ask questions.

Any civilized and informed person knows that Lobbying is an inherent part of a democracy
with separation of power.
Even in advanced democracy like the US, the president must make trade-offs with the legislature
to get his projects approved.

But some caveman who don't understand how government works are angry because the strongest
National assembly in Nigeria's history refuses to rubber-stamp the executive "requests".

The 17 billion naira is not a bribe as no lawmaker received a personal alert based on it.
It was for projects that some lawmakers deemed important to their constituents.

DARE TO SIDE WITH THE MATIONAL ASSEMBLY ON THIS ISSUE ? 1000 million times 17 ? Lobbying ? Really ? So let's all just agree you know more about numbers than mrs okonjo-iweala to know that 17 billion naira is no alarming figure for a country's finance minister to deem as ' lobbying ' . And oh , speaking of ' sttandard practice ' in every democracy , remind me again which american congressman is in jail for demanding for ' lobbying ' money for a certain african leader ?

Guy just simmer down, everyone knows for a fact that the NASS has busied themselves with enriching themselves at the expense of the Nigerian people's sovereign wealth.

The reason Saraki and Dogara has been successful in getting the pit of snakes to align with him PDP and APC is based on their shared desire for unreasonable wages and dubious allowances.

My own cousin is a senator and I have other family members and friends who have in the house of representatives. It's a bloody scam this thing called NASS

Felixv:


you need help...if a Harvard graduate can confirm that it was a bride then who are you to dispute that

Xisnin:

I am also familiar with how the NASS works.
The truth is that nothing goes for free whether bills or confirmation.

Nobody is denying that NASS members are money-hungry but creating fake news to discredit them
because they refuse to rubber-stamp Buhari's decisions.

The topic suggest that the former minister doled out cash bribe to NASS members when none of them got credited with
the 17 billion.

Are you arguing that the NASS has been illegally inflating the budget yearly something which has gotten out of hand since OBJ gave them bags of Ghana must go and handed them a free hand in the pursuit of a third term.

Slimpotter:

So if lobbying is the norm in US, that means it must be the norm in Nigeria too. You guys keep on copying US governmental processes thinking it is the best example for a bleeped up country like Nigeria. What Is the essence of lobbying if not greed, then what is the purpose of being representatives if they're representing themselves.

Xisnin:

The problem with your view is that it is incompatible with democracy.
When the reps believe that there are

There is no need for legislature or judiciary if a single man can dictate the agenda for the whole
country. You essentially want a dictatorship.

Even Chinese leaders with one party system do backroom compromises on national issues.

Slimpotter:

Last time I checked the CPC does not need to lobby their national people's congress which is their legislative arm to do anything. The party already makes the decisions within the standing committee of the central committee. Now back to compromising. It is because of this same legislative arm that government is slow and ineffective. This system of government breeds corruption as also seen in the US through their lobbying tactics. It's better to change this system if not no matter the government that's in power, there will never be 60% utilization of the budget
