₦airaland Forum

I was just still curious about the basis upon which our legislators earn so much and are looting this country called Nigeria dry. Please check out what US congress men earn and the compare to what our Nigerian counterparts are earning.

The looters of this country are on their way down the drain. Its a matter of time.

I am just curious. Please can we vote for our preferred candidate for the coming presidential election come 2011. Please also state the reason for your preference.

The current contestants include:

1. GEJ
2. Atiku
3. Buhari
4. Nuhu Ribadu

For me, my preferred candidate is Buhari. My reason is simply because he is devoid of corruption allegations. Certainly not a perfect man, but i prefer him to the others.

Good advices here and there. Those of our friends that live abroad on this forum, how did you travel abroad? Scholarship, or study or just vising? and you stayed put there. Its easier to advice people when you have not looked at your own situation.

As much as i dnt subscribe to people carrying on nefarious activities, the situation here in naija is BAD. I have also lived in the US before and i can tell you that no matter how bad, if you are a young man or woman, perhaps between 18-30 years, you still have a better chance of living a better life there. Dont let anyone discourage you. Try and get good documentation and i can tell you, the sky would be your limits there. There talents are appreciated and you can express yourself better.

Most of the time, those living abroad will discourage other people from coming there, so why are they still staying put there, if the place is so bad?

If i remember clearly, a lot of my friends living abroad now, went visiting, did they come back home? capital NO. To come and do what? SUFFER? Lailai. For those who want to travel, i can tell you that when you go at the beginning, life can be tough, if you persevere, a way would surely open for you. At least in US u can start with $5.00 per hour throwing paper, later you will settle into maybe getting into school and starting a new and possibly more promising future.

Please dont let anyone discourage you. Naija does not look like it at all. Strive, be honest and upright and i can guarantee you, if you spend 5 years in US and spend 5 years in Naija, US would definitely give you a better future.

Be strong and push ahead. Dont fret.

I rest my case.

Please analysts in the house, lets have your comments.

As regards criminality, is there any records in nigeria? if you ever see anyone indicted for anything, its usually for witch-hunting. Who said Tinubu isnt a criminal? We are only trying to pick a cleaner criminal (a more sane criminal). Is Jona clean? God forbid. A man that has no guts to challenge those still looting us dry, he is an all things goes man. Gone are those days when a president would just storm a ministry in the morning to catch late commers and they get querries for that. Naija is already at its brink. If Nigeria does not break up by 2015, it will never break up again.

These criminals must be chased away, one way or another.

As much as i have reservations for Tinubu, he has shown great courage and statesmanship like no other in this generation. I am so proud of what he has done by memtoring a lot of people and making them have a hope against all tyrannies and oppression. God is just about to hear my prayers. I will be the happiest person on earth if this collabo works.

Buhar/Tinubu ticket, i will create my own voters register and have 1 million names and thumb print in thier favour. I no dey joke. Oloun. Lol

sorry, error of keyboard. i meant honourable obahiagbon. thanks for the observation and correction.

I watched this morning on TV where Senator Obahiagbon called his fellow collegues legislative rascals and he was being hounded by his collegues with a threat of suspension from the house. The question is that is he lieing? In my opinion he isn't lieing, but what I wasn’t happy about is the fact that he appologised after the threat. My question is when will we start to stand by the words we say so matter whose Ox is gored. What is the big deal about him being suspended, if he stands by what he has said. Afterall, they all make money, is it the money he is going to miss or the glamour of being a house member or is it his dedication to his people and his country? My fellow NLs, please are our legislators and so called “honourable members" not truly rascals?
