aisha2: I wholeheartedly agree that we need to begin to do our own job as citizens too. And as i have said before, if everyone on nairaland were to engage with people in power, from your local government chairman, to the rep from your state, to anybody basically you know in power and enquire as to their vision and what they are doing in their respective sectors etc then that is actually doing something. People always feel helpless as to what we can each do instead of just coming on Nairaland everyday and get dissappointed by yet another Nigerian news story. I for one am going to make the effort to contact my rep and local government chairman. The info is not had to come by. Just go to the website of the Nigerian house of reps and get their info. We really need to engage with each other as a nation and this is a start. Does anybody here work in media please? I mean is it not about time we got some kind off show on the Nigerian airwaves were politicians are dragged on and quized as to what they are doing? Not these "yes sir, thank you sir" shows. Time to play our roles as citizens and also get more involved in our nation building. |

KnowAll: No we are not!! Speak for yourself. We are one in crude oil booty we sharing, minus that, that is where the oneness ends. My village is closer to South West Cameroon than yours but they can't claim that we are one. Thanks for the Somalia example, at least the Somalians are not claiming to be one with Ethiopian. |

Eziachi, Do you know what happened when India and Pakistan separated? Was it a peaceful one? Do you know the millions that were killed? Or you don't know why they are still national enemies till today? With development not distributed in Nigeria (it is centralised in Lagos and a large part of SW, Abuja and PH), multiple ethnicity in each region (e.g. who tells you the Ibiobio/Efik would want a country dominated by Ibos) and a strong religious identity divide, I see Nigeria separation as a recipe for large scale death. I personally don't mind separation but I am more interested in dealing with the looters by using legislation. China did it by killing all corrupt officials. |

China did it by killing all corrupt officials.Oh shut up. Using murder to solve theft? A murderer is worse than a looter. |

@Sagamite, development in Port Harcourt? Since when? |

aisha2: Aisha2, What lulu world do you reside in ![]() You are going to write a citizen letter to an Adedibu-backed Baba Sala thinking legislator who most likely can not read and write. And you expect it to benefit in what way? Look, I live in the UK, that stuff can happen here but in Nigeria? Where do you live? Dreamland? So what would you do if your letter is ignored? You will write another one? Or you will pay the rep a visit? I am almost confident that doing the latter might result in medical expenses after his thugs tell you what they think. Unfortunately with the way things work in Nigeria (lack of care by the government especially in enforcing the rules or providing justice), the only way to force change or stop this wanton legalised looting is for the masses to gather together and pay the House of Assembly a riotious visit every single day till they rescind their decision. |
Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by SkyBlue1: 10:49am On May 17, 2008 |
@Sagamite, so you have tried and it did not happen, or you just don't feel like trying in the first place? |
Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by Sagamite(m): 10:55am On May 17, 2008 |
Seun, Cut the pink, liberal, pious, goody two shoes crap. "Murder is the unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice." Punishment is lawful and different from murder despite what you salvation church might tell you. If you don't want the punishment then don't commit the crime. You will be more justified to call looting of public funds murder if you considered the volumes of Nigerias that die of malnutrition, road accidents, suicide from frustration, poor health, armed robbery, fake drugs etc that the stolen public funds is supposed to be used for or monitor. |

Sky Blue: My impression is that it is Nigeria's third city which has a high concentration of foreigners. Sky Blue: As I said, I live in the UK. |
Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by SkyBlue1: 11:02am On May 17, 2008 |
@Sagamite, port harcourt has practically seen little to no meaningful development in the 8 to 9 years, just a lot of very bad governance. Don't take my word for it, call anyone who lives there and ask them for yourself. Ask them what meaningful development they have seen? You don't have to live in Nigeria to be able to contact your rep. |
Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by Sagamite(m): 11:07am On May 17, 2008 |
Jamco45, Don't get it twisted, the Nigerian president does not make N3m a year. I did a personal analysis of this about 3 months ago. With all the allowances (EXCLUDING ALL LOANS AND ONE-OFF PAYMENTS), Nigeria's president makes circa £145,000 a year (about N34m). In his final year, he makes close to £185,000. The data is on my laptop which I have sent for repairs. When I get it back, I will post for you to see how much governors, ministers, senators, HOSs earn. They are milking it. |

Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by AkoEja: 11:11pm On May 21, 2008 |
These governors did not actually win the election, but they forced themselves in anyway. same thing is happening in Osun state with governor Olagunsole Oyinlola distributing N150 million naira to 26 law breakers |
Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by Sagamite(m): 1:55pm On May 22, 2008 |
As promised, these are the figures which includes all cash allowances. PS: I used the conversion rate of £1 to N235 and these are per year pay. President: £140,641.39 Vice President: £123,063.58 Senate President: £97,719.15 Deputy Senate President: £79,129.79 Average Senator: £68,510.64 (might be more for those that chair commitees) Speaker of House: £69,123.40 Deputy Speaker of House: £64,385.11 Average House Member: £55,465.96 (might be more for those that chair commitees) Governor: £88,939.68 Deputy Governor: £85,120.56 Chief Justice: £99,370.36 Minister: at least £34,967.06 (I have no figures of most of their allowances but the ones I have shows this as minimum) Minister of State: at least £32,483.18 (I have no figures of most of their allowances but the ones I have shows this as minimum) |

So, if Iyabo Obasanjo is earning at least £68,000 per year in Nigeria (not in US or UK and excluding all estacodes she gets when she travels abroad) for doing nothing. Since their is no metrics to measure the lawmakers' performance. And she still feels the need to steal money meant to cater for the health of those that live on less than 20p per day that are already dying in their thousands then I think the death sentence should not be out of the question. |
Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by muyiserra1(m): 6:17pm On May 23, 2008 |
These guys are blood thieves and fool, somebody will be paid 20million naire and another person will receive 15.000 naire monthly, can you imagine the difference, if we continue like these, Nigeria can never be develop period!! They should remember that they are there to serve and not to be served. Cows |

Thieving and waste of public funds on the highest order Those idiots who have no fucking clue of the laws but they still get this much money Majority of them have no business there in the first place because they have no credentials If each one of this so-called lawmakers have conscience, they would reject the money The average worker would work a lifetime day and night to save 20MILLION NAIRA At times i wonder if this idiots know what it takes to Govern or to lead? Because for them, it is all about distributing money to various IOU's and looting for personal gains! AKALA and the likes of him wasting money that should be better spent on suffering citizens would never know peace Lawmakers who greedily accept this money with big ugly grins would never know peace if they fail to acknowledge the sufferings of a common man And the same goes to every other state who treasury is continually looted whilst its indigenes suffer in abject penury!!!! LAPDOGS CALLING THEMSELVES LAWMAKERS |

Guys please don't forget the 5% value added tax, I guess that's Adedibu's commissions or transaction fee, lol. What a shame!. |
Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by deols(f): 12:40am On May 26, 2008 |
That oyo state governor is dishing out money, cars,etc is no surprise.have you forgotten how he got into power? He's got to pay his supporters somehow and you know He needs them,especially the Molete warlord who's already thinning out for an assured second term. |
Re: Oyo Lawmakers To Receive N20m Each by olufunmibi(m): 4:16pm On May 27, 2008 |
why are you guys so disturbed about constituency allowances?that is obviously their own birthright! it is amala politics, it doesn't work out by the principle of common sense like you guys are imagining.moderation is grossly inappropriate in that game. you have to be daft, animalistic,infact,you have to render your brain redundant and start thinking with your intestines and anus to play the game. and even,who are you? who is your father? your father is or was a dedicated and honest civil servant who has respect for a phenomenon called humanity and worked with the code of responsibility all his working life. if this describes you, you can never understand oyo state politics. you are not in a position to understand .God save us from this "pacesetting" woes! |

I am very glad that I was born a Nigerian. What is happening (to me) is melodramatic. Hum!!!!!!!! However, let us leave them alone. "The fool is accumulating wealth not knowing who will spend them" is what the Bible says. If only they could follow the path of Andrew Carnegie, the better for them. Carnegie died at 84 with his demise truly painful. yet, his works leave after him. Let our politicians change their greedy and corrupt nature. They should not forget how Abacha ended. A wise man should learn from others. It is only a fool that will learn from personal experience. |
