The Metaphor of Nma in nko, Enwe content, nwelu content, adinko (Cutlass that is Sharp is without Handle, making it impossible to be useful, the one with Handle is Blunt, also makes it Useless), that suffice when we discuss the brand of Mistake we call Legislative Arm of the Government, counting from State ASSEMBLY to National, despite the glaring Fact that the duplication of duties between the House of Representatives and Senates is funny and irritating, but what can one say or do in a society where Objectivity were erazed from our Annals.
I have tried to circumvent the duties of the State Assembly and I came out empty, because the provision of the law is that they are Law makers, but evidently none of them understands the rudimentary focus of the Masses, not even that of Leadership.
Moving on to Anambara which is my state, since the crawl back of Democracy, the House of Assembly has never made any laws, they don't even modify the outdated ones, the only thing they know best is to come together approve every inglorious bidding of any seating Governor no matter how selfish, devilish, devastating to the state, they will sign the approval if the Governor makes certain financial appraisal to them.
Taking meaningless, focus less, unchanged Loans gets approved as long as they get pennies as stipends, the word Pedigree seems a Mirage to them.
I believe they should have oversight in the state spending and Contracts awarded in the state, but none of them gets worried about Bogus contracts, meaningless MOUs, and spendings that cripples our economy.
They are careless how the money is spent as long as they get some trifle cuts ... They are not representing us, but representing thier stomach.
For 6 years and counting, some of us have been shouting self Hoarse that the outrageous security citizens, where even the woman that sale OGIRI pays through her Nose, no matter now many they are storing for thier Children as the Abomination they are committing must find ways to deal with the Children in Karmaric Style.
Even with the Covid restrictions where the Government should cushion the effects of losses incurred by Transporters who were made to carry half of the original Load of the Vehicle, the Government increase the Daily collection from them even in such drastic conditions, the transporters have limited options than to increase the Fares, which everything comes down on the poor balding head of the Citizens who has been living with certain Hand to Mouth Paliative.
Many parents including me is not finding things funny now, we labor so hard to get so little, yet the expense is terrifying, from Children that are home, milking whatever reserve that may have been saved for rainy day ..
Then Private schools introduce Online lessons, which provide that same parents will buy this DATA that is the latest exploitative mode of Phone Companies, as Monthly Data can't stay for a whole Week and our Senators and House members can't even query them , maybe they have a free Package and the interest of the Nation is not paramount.
Parents will buy the Data and then the proprietors of the School will want the same parents to pay again after the Data drained them, food finish them, and high cost of things including transportation nailed the coffin ..
Everything in Nigeria is out of control and nobody thinks ...
This also escaped the Legislative Arm.
All the Roads awarded and never even border to execute is at the Constituency of a Legislator, you then wonder why such a person won't bring it up at the house, then get another 2 members with similar abandoned projects to second him, they will summon the relevant Commissioner to come and explain, when it is obvious that the Governor who initiated the Flag off, also stunted the work, it is simply an act of swindling the state and the house will start an ACT OF IMPEACHMENT, a process that will force active and effective Governance or removal.
Note that the Governor cannot suspend a house member because it is not appointed position, but elective one, so they are as protected as the Governor.
But this house members whose community are under Erosion treatment, austerity of good Roads, still walk around state Capital answering HONORABLE MEMBER, my question is, what is Honorable with and from any of them ?.
This bunch of Legis Mistake can't say what they have helped the state to correct as Legislative Arm, they have limitless numbers of abandoned projects, then while our Roads are in tartars, Erosion wants to carry off the entire Town, while maintainance of Roads Tarred by previous Governments is not workable, the house members who prefer we attach Honorable member as Prefix instead of Dishonorable Men and Women, they will see all those and then the Governor or Government will move into another bogus and swindling hallucination called Project, such as UMUERI HAIRPORT, a Gigantic project the same Government whose expertise in branding lies makes Lai Muhammad a Saint, after all Lai has never said Nigeria exports UGU, YAM, ONUGBU but mine not only say so,they went as far as going to LUSADA in Ogun state and recruited phases as who acted as Farmers and exporters, they used them to contact us made acting recorded and aired by Channels TV, instead of our Glorified ABS the CUCUMBER STATION.
Lai can't say that Nigeria as a Nation realized 5 Million Dollars in selling if Vegetables, even if Sambisa vast land where used for the plantation such amount can't be gotten in one swoop, but my state threw such lies with straight face and want us to be clapping, though when we started watching for follow-up exports to Enable some of us will retire to Village and start farming, the business entered Voice mail like others.
The state assembly would have demanded to know why we have Abandoned Roads, abandoned life and moved into building airports which can only benefit the Upper class but the Roads will benefit both Upper, Middle and Lower class because after flying up, you come down and drive on the Pot Hole Roads.
The HAIRPORT was said to cost 2 Billion Dollars of Chinese money, but they tuck the tail and my state with the act of Nkeni Amu delve into it, which reminds me of the saying "Where Angels fear to thread, is where Children wants to make play ground ", not only do I have fears about the Airport because of the slashing execution Sum, but because we spent 15 Billion buildings 3 Okwabe IKWUBE in OKA and within 5 days after it was opened with fanfare, the Government placed a Barrier on it to dissuade trucks from climbing it, as they said that the weight makes it sink and shaking like Epileptic patient ...
Then I ask, the Bridge the past Government built at NKPOR was Longer, cost far far far far less and there is no barrier or restriction of any sought .. The house members should ask for the Brick Layer dolu that the Bridge to come and explain it from Nkpor angle.
I am sure not even one of them has set foot in the HAIRPORT to see the conditions of work or progress made, see where our money is being buried again.
The state Assembly is standing by the Government moved over 2500 SA into Civil Service with the Clandestine method, especially those from the Northern part, meaning that after this Government, they have been assimilated into Civil Service.
I wanted to write about the Federal Legislation but Mmiri interpreter Awo onu (The Toad can't crow because of the water sealed her mouth).
Now that our House members are inactive or say incompetent, it will become the battles of the Led, the masses who should rise up and demand recall of our legislooters, unless they stand up and work like never before.
I am LAST BORN MPA NNUKWU, Special Adviser to the Governor on GOOD GOVERNANCE "SAGG" (UNPAID).
