ReplyDeleteWhat benefit are we,as a people,going to derive from this national waste of time and resources?
ReplyDeleteGod bless Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteFresh Air till 2019 abi?
Nigeria never fails to disappoint.
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me any tangible resolution they've made since the commencement of the confab?
All they do is discuss,discuss and discuss without proffering viable and feasible panaceas to the pressing needs and security challenges of the country.
This is nothing but a dubious scheme to extravagantly spend the national funds frivolously.
More money to the delegates.
Nigeria;Failing its citizens since 1960
Everyday for the thief.......one day for the owner.
ReplyDeleteanybody that thumb prints for Jana.daft stands the risk of becoming a leper starting from his/her right thumb.
ReplyDeleteNigeria needs a revolution really.
ReplyDeleteI give up on Jonathan, he's extremely corrupt.
No matter what these guys are doing at Abuja, they should not earn extra 4.5Million Naira, what they are being offered already is forcking much, afterall, most of them are elder statesmen, they should do this with integrity, selflessness, they should see this as an opportunity to become elite nationalists, and not a chance to loot the nation dry in the midst of various crises facing the country in different facets of this state.
This confab will yield nothing serious. It would not produce what we had expected-a revolution.
This is not what we want!
This is another opportunity for the thieves to steal more, before the very eyes of the owners.
