National Deceit or Conference

The day the Executive announced its intention for a national conference was the day, they told Nigerians we cant depend on the legislature.

Could that be an indictment? Perhaps no, because even legislators feel our dear country deserves to sit and talk. And i ask myself do they know why they were elected in the first place.

Our ignorance has made them turn us around a lot! After d conference, the President proposes that the resolutions shall be sent to National Assembly for ratification. Hmmmm! My people we ought to b patriotic, lets call a spade, a spade. If truly those talks are meant to create a new Nigeria for our children and those yet unborn, den they should ask us what we want and stop deceiving us. We have a legislature, the executive must allow it to consult, act and speak for us. If they (legislators) are not aware of their enormous task of speaking and acting on our behalf, they ought to know NOW! if not let the legislature take the back seat and allow Nigerians decide for themselves thru a referendum from a national dialogue or conference. they two (legislature and National Conference) are not compatible!

Its merely another leakage in the economy, legislators collecting salaries and allowances just as conference delegates get sitting and several other allowances. 

We must continue to educate ourselves until such a time when those we elected stop playing over our intelligence. the key is education, awareness, literacy...what ever you call it!

At this present day and time, should we still be fighting for our rights or demanding for our rights?
