Why wont they reject it? they know what they are getting for doing practically noting and in true Nigerian Fashion they rather continue with it than effect a change to suit the current economic situation of the Country. They feel that they are being made the scapegoat? Now they have started pointing at other excesses in the country, real typical Nigerian, they use others to justify their own exccess, Ogene explained that the idea was laughable because the N150 billion allocated to the National Assembly was only a small fraction of this year's N4.9 trillion national budget. “Rather than blaming the National Assembly for the poor finances of the country, the questions that should be asked are: Why do we need up to 40 ministers? Why do we have up to 10 aircraft in the presidential fleet? These are the issues that should be taken into consideration instead of saying that one arm of government should be shut down,” Ogene stated.[i][/i] Imagine this Guy, so you know that 10 planes are too much for the presidential fleet? (Yet our Petroleum Minster still charters jets for official tours,SMH what a waste) So you know that 40 ministers is too much yet you say nothing? So you know that 150 Billion for the National Assembly alone is a fraction of the yearly budget for the whole country, yet their are Infrastructure to be developed, Agriculture and Education are stagnant among other problems yet you are happy taking a "fraction" for your pockets! You compare your selves with American Congress, did you compare the economies of both countries as well? whereas they can afford to the extravagant (which they are not) we can not afford to be, yet the greed of our National Assembly will not let them propose a reduced salary scale, rather they will take till there is nothing more to take again. I hope Oby continues to propose such radical ideas, maybe, just maybe if we try it it will work. They should get their lazy a$$ of those heavily padded executive chairs and do other things with their lives. They can even get some practical feel of normal day to day activities of the ordinary masses. That can even help them propose better people oriented laws and bills in the house. I WONDER IF THEIR SALARIES WERE DRASTICALLY CUT, IF THEIR WILL STILL BE A MAD RUSH TO GET INTO THESE POLITICAL OFFICES? 26 Likes |

Small fraction for almost 400 people, don't you think that small fraction is even to much when we are not getting value for money. This man does not know his job if he his talking about the president having ten planes and the parliament can not force him to have just 2 or 3. Which state is this man from so I can insult his people for voting a clueless idiot into our parliament. There is something called checks and balances if you are not used to it. 3 Likes |

This guys are funny, Ezekwesili said you have gulped over a trillion naira in 8yrs and you are still arguing that your allocation is only 150billion per year, except my arithmetic is that bad, that still makes it over a trillion naira in 8 years, she is right, they should just own up. 7 Likes |

My problem with Nigerian youths is that we dont act to conquer our fears.We should not always sit on the fence.The time is now, their excesses must be checked.As youths of our beloved country, we should learn how to fight for our future.Some old illiterates cant be pushing us this way inother to grow money for their generation while we sit and suffer for not making a statement.Am not saying we should go the way of Eygpt.But something must be done by us.A caller suggested on radio this morning, that we should match to the streets on october 1st not as a political party but as Voice of Nigeria Youths to protest that their wages be made public and cut down to 50percent. Its not about talking and writing articles or using platforms like this to drive home our points which they dont see.Actions must be taken. Like they always say 'dont think about what Nigeria can do for you but what you can do for Nigeria'. 9 Likes |

Re: House Rejects Part-time Legislature Proposal by unmask: 11:05am On Aug 21, 2013 |
what I am still trying to get a grip on is this: if these legislators claim that they are delivering sefless service, why don't they work for free and allow the government take care of on the job expenses......as it is there are a lot of jobless pple with brilliant ideas on the street, that would jump at 5% of a legislators take home pay and deliver at least at the same level if not far better...... A Nigerian legislator shouldnt be paid more than a university junior lecturer...... |

‘‘The American democracy could be said to be on autopilot yet, they have not experimented with a part-time legislature.’’ Far from it. United States Congress is even more divisive and acrimonious than ours. They're also very corrupt but with a different approach (See: Louisiana Purchase, Cornhusker Kickback and Insider Trading for instance) I don't think part time legislative proceeding is what we need. Au contraire, the system we need is a parliamentary cum provincial system of government modelled in tandem with Australia and Canada. |
