Nigeria goverment scandal

Back


"Madam speaker has the majority members of the House of Representatives and I want to assure us that democracy is a game of number and when we get to the floor of the house we shall demonstrate our strength".

Soundbite: Man speaking (English)

"This issue as far as I am concern is not about voodoo number is about credibility, is about justifying what is difficult to be justify".

Judgement day is now here for the Nigeria's first female speaker of the house of representatives, in a matter of hours from now the clearly divided 360 member house will decide whether madam Patricia Etteh stays or goes. Her opponents wants her to go, but her supporters insists she is staying put.

Soundbite: Man speaking (English)

"On daily basis we are preaching the gospel of Madam speaker and on an hourly basis we are winning souls".

Soundbite: Man speaking (English)

What happens during a bazaar is a concept of going going gone, that is going to happen to the speakers seat".

The call for the speaker to step down have been intensified following the submission of Idoko Panel Report. So far she has defiled this calls insisting that the report of the panel did not in any way indict her. At least the word indict itself was not used by the panel which says it has no power to do so.

Soundbite: Wole Soyinka speaking (English)

"It is not the question of indictment or not indictment I think we should not allow technicalities to blow our sense of rectitude and moral conduct".

Indictment or no indictment members are expected to begin debating the report when preliminary resumes but this is where the snag is who presides over the debate? The speakers supporters say it will not be out of place if she does. I hope everyone agrees.

When you talk Nigeria my friend, I want you to know that there are people, outraged by what Nigeria is, and what it represents and want out of Nigeria, but have consistently been murdered by Nigerian governments. We are Biafrans, but we are under occupation by Nigeria who have continued to kill our people for wanting out. Right now more than 2000 non-violent Biafran activists have been murdered by Nigeria since 2001, and more than 1000 are languishing in jails.

Nigeria is a disgrace to W.Africa.
A country with the resources to be the African Tiger,yet Leadership that makes their citizens even shy of who they are!
The last I checked,they were emigrating to Ghana,a country with a tenth of what Nigeria has...what a shame!!!
Naijagurl089 (October 14, 2008 at 5:33 am)
what are you talking about? Ghana, Cameroon, etc has oil just like Nigeria and their economy isn't even close to Nigeria.
And Nigerians are not migrating to Ghana. That's something you made up. They even laugh in Nigeria when someone claim they are migrating to Ghana. Parents send their children to go to school in Ghana cause ONE of their university is among the best in Africa. Thats the only reason we even step foot in Ghana. Pls, people really need to stop saying shit they don't know about.

A disgrace to West Africa.
The country with the highest growing economy in Africa. One of the richest African country and also African country who stopped many civil war in Africa including WA.
A country that made it's movie industry, the third major movie induatry in the world and also is improving it's music industry.
And also have the highest educated people in Africa, Europe and America.

Have the highest noble winners(scientist and writers). The only African man to create a technogly still used today is from Nigeria and also in beauty, Nigeria is the only West African country to win one of those trophy.
Nigeria also seems to be given money to this West African countries that suppose to be better.
Yes nigeria is a disgrace. Without that country, West Africa will be a shit hole just like East Africa. And you all know it. Keep hating Nigeria. fix your country and then talk.
Naijagurl089 (October 14, 2008 at 5:58 am)
Tell the other West African country that next time a Nigeria movie star or musician starts a foundation for them and then give them that money. Tell them to please say "hell no" that they don't want it. Cause at least now we know our movie stars and musicians will only focus on Nigeria.
Fix up your country(Ghana). make that country economy pass Nigeria's economy and then come talk to us about how bad Nigeria is.Thank you. And pls, get your facts right.Nigerians ARE NOT migrating to Ghana.
