PDP behaves cultist

Our elders say monkey resembles man in view of so many similarities.According to a pensioner, the Peoples Democratic Party (a.k.a PDP)has virtually turned into a cult group.The cultist behaviour is apparent in the way the high echelon of the group displays lack of concern in the welfare of the generality of nigerians north to south, east to west. They are only group that wins an election without being voted for, they are the only group some others decamp to for fear of intimidation,they play with the rule of law,they are feared by even the military,the judiciary at all levels, they have coopted the traditional rulers,retired generals,etc.to behave the way they do such with all Nigeria's endowment.

NIGERIA THE WAY FORWARD

It is not severance pay that is the problem, it is the over empolyed political class that is the problem. What of other hidden pays, like entertainments, clothing, unnessasary security payments, gratifications, unneceasary estacodes and other unnecessary travel allowances, etc. The Governments, federal, states and local governments spend about 0ne and half trillion naira on wages and unneccessary emoluments. This amout is almost 85% of our yearly earings. These federal, state and local government workers are about 5 to 6 % of the population of Nigeria. In short about 6% of the population of Nigeria spend about 85% of the money of Nigeria. So the remaiming 15% of the money of Nigeria is spent on about 6% of the population, by way of capital projects. We all know what happens, to the so called capital projects, as part of it is eaten up by corruptions. This is the actual picture of Nigeria and yet the majority of Nigerians the about 94% of the population, have done nothing about this disgraceful practice.
I see no reason why Nigeria, must have two house of representation at the Federal level, namely Senate and house of representatives. Nigeria should have, only one chamber at the federal level. We should either do away with the Senate or the house of representatives. This will save a lot of money, which will be used, for capital expenditure that will benefit the masses.
On the states we should either scrap them and have more powerful local governments and a federal government or we should drastically reduce their wasteful spendings and their wasteful and unneccessary appiontments, just to give jobs for the boys and girls. The state assembly members if we must keep them, should only get sitting allowances, what they collect now, is not good vavle for the type of money they collect from the treasuries. They are reaping off Nigeria. I am sure something can be worked out, to further address this unneccessary drain on public funds. Most of the state houses are just rubber stamp for the governors and most of the houses of assemblies if not all are redundant.
The local government where, almost 50% of the money of Nigeria is spent or rather wasted on unneccessary appiontments, which could not have been made in the first place. ALL councillors should only be paid sitting allowances and all other political appointments in the councils cancelled, for they are not necessary but ridiculous. The money saved from these reorganisations should then be used for capital developements, that will impact on all Nigerians. If we address all these, we can have the money for energy and electricity, whick will create and generate lots of jobs for Nigerians. We will have money for good roads, hospitals, schools, etc, these will impact on all Nigerians. If we fail to adderss these issues now, Nigeria will be sitting on a time bomb, that can consume all of us.

THE NIGERIAN CONSPIRACY(PART1)

Nigeria a country held bound by the will of men from the wrong side of history(Time means nothing).
Nigeria a great nation in the mind of good men only.
Nigeria why a third world nation in the face of its GOD given resources and human capital.
Nigeria the mordernized ANIMAL FARM.
Nigeria were the blind leads in the day time and the deaf rules at night.
The gread of the leaders(politician) dominates to the fall of the country.

the government incapable of delivering like other world leaders(in light to a brighter heven) must lead and deliver at all cost,and since lead the must , the difference between positive and negetive , is just but in the sign/symbol.

History is never forgotten but never easily remembered.

THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT AND THOSE IN THE SIT OF POWER AS SHOULD WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF.
CORRUPTION = EQUALS NO CHARGE NOR GUILT.
DEVELOPMENT MEANS = UNDERMINING THE CITIZENRY.


WELCOME TO THE NIGERIAN CONSPIRACY,
THE FALL OF THE GAINT OF AFRICA,

TO BE CONTINUED,DAILY
