I tend to wonder what stuff Nigerians are made of. Must we make a mountain out of every molehill?
For something as minor as the federal legislators subtracting and adding, we have started shouting again.
Must we!
Instead of praising those distinguished senators and eminent members of the house for the great job they are doing, Nigerians have chosen to pay their good deeds with evil.
Such ungrateful ingrates!
Do you think it’s easy performing mathematical wonders? Ask Chief twelve two thirds!
The infuriating thing is that it’s you the people that would be asking us what we brought from Abuja.
OK, so you thought we would take from our allawee to meet your demands. What nonsense?
If you didn’t know, let’s tell you now. Are you listening?
We are businessmen. Whatever we gave you as largesse to be elected must be derived from what accrues to you. So, if we have decided to humour you by pretending to change the budget proposal and slotting our own projects therein, don’t you protest.
If you do, you’ll suffer for it one way or the other.
That former governor, Fash or what does he call himself? So, because he is a lawyer, he must do ITK!
He’ll meet us in the chambers. And we planned for him o! We thought the load of three ministries will be too overwhelming for him to mind what we are doing.
We are minding our own business, why isn’t he minding his?
He is showing us what we are yet to do!
We will make laws putting the preparation and approval of the budget as part of legislative duties. We will even do more, the carrying out of the projects too will come under the legislature.
To crown it all, the courts will come under legislative powers. The speaker will be a good Chief Justice.
Won’t he?
