Coldie:
What do u want southern senators to do in a house where the north is in majority?

Have u ever asked how alot of skewed injustice happened in Nigeria.

Northerner's just gang up and start voting for any rubbish as long as it favours them, and the southern senators can't do anything.

It will surprise you to know otherwise that they are together, after collecting money from the powers that be.

There can never be Southern unity

aribisala0:
Is there a way of finding out how each individual voted

ReubenE:


There are 3 senators each from the 36 states, and 1 senator from the FCT.

The senators from the North alone cannot form 2/3 majority to pass a bill. There must be willing senators from the South to form that number.

Legislators from the South, as far as this matter is concerned are just irresponsible.

They are corrupt morons that can't stand their Northern counterparts for reasons best known to them.

Mr, APC Party leadership and their cult like modus operandi is the reason why we are where we are. Lawan has turned down majority votes severally. He’s turned down secret ballot for fear of politicians irrespective of party affiliation from voting with their conscience.

Southern Senators under APC cannot vote with their conscience in an open ballot.

If you want to test the power of your political party, then adopt secret ballot and see if there won’t be unbiased bills left and right being passed and the north left in the dark.

Almost all the anti people bills blocked by the Saraki Led Senate was while he was still in APC, they’re all being passed right now by this useless senate.

It is actually a fact that the South-South have tried to go on their own and have failed miserably. You need a unified South with some support from the middle-belt to take on the Northern machine

Yes and when we tell them it would be like we are fighting them

Oga let's fight this enemies first that are Killing u ...if we succeed ND want to leave biafra simple u go


Personally I prefer a confederation of 4 southern n middle belt regions really

When it suits your interest you talk about middle belt helping to advance your southern interest,. In times of unrest you attack every body from the North on sight as Hausa. Just carry your cross abeg

sulaak:



Nonsense, there are Christian Senators and reps in the North and the Middlebelt are not partial to the North. The problem is the lack of electronic voting in the house. Nigerians need to how their representatives vote.

.......

mrvitalis:

Why do u think igbos are marginalized ? LMAO

Go read how south south got the so called 13% derivative then come back

Then go read buhari later to igbos in 2011

Then go read how the biafran war started

Mtchew!

For those southerners who still believe in one nigeria,there you have it,the north will always shortchange the south in every thing,.you said you want pib passed and they have pass it with north entiled to a whole 30% while the oil producing communities manage to get 3%,you said you want electoral amendment bill pass into law,now they said no problem but electronic transmision of result will be removed or it will not be passed.a northern child just need 2 marks to get admission into unity school and a southerner 130 and above,

BinamRex:


Mtchew!

Exactly

Workch:
I don’t understand why we have senators in the house this bill still got to a significant stage of being passed.

Them use juju pass am? The problem is not the north right now, the problem is the lackadaisical southern senators with selfish interest that won’t represent the will of their people.

Very simple the numbers of the northerner senators in the house is more than that of the Southerners.
This has been so for long. The northerners has been taking advantage of that.
My humble opinion still remains Nigeria should be disintegrated.

Johnrake69:



Please stop this rubbish propaganda.

North has never been more economically viable than the South. There was never a time groundnut earned Nigeria more foreign exchange than palm oil in the South.

This is what they tell them in the north,the abokies on the streets all believe this.It needs to be corrected asap in all communications so history is not rewritten.

The highest income generation during the agric period was from the South- Palm oil, cocoa from the south earned more than all northern produce

Southern Governors sha

Class monitor lawal before you answer nay he tell you the ayes have it

Gentlerespect76:
When you consider the ratio of southern senators to that of their northern counterparts you would realize that Nigeria is a fraud.

Can you tell us the ratio and the percentage that needed to approve certain things. It will help us to understand better.

Workch:
u still require 2/3

One single acronym answers the question.

A.P.C.

That is Nigeria's greatest problem.

The oil producing areas are supposed to be rioting by now.

There's no point crying over spilt milk, the deed is already done. The house needs 2/3 to pass any bill into law, the implication is that we have some among southern reps that voted for the bill to make it possible.

mrvitalis:

South south taught they could do it alone ...allow us make our choices blah blah blah

This is what their big brothers have been shielding them from since 1975 ...well oil pipe line run through Igbo land n south west too

So they left them to see how national politics is played


Middle belt have been praying n hopening for the kind of protections igbos n partly yorubas give south south from north ( core north ) but no ...while south south wants to play national politics

See if u are not a majority tribe u are not it's the reality of Nigeria honestly

Ok ipob

PIB means what plss??

Small thing they will shout our Oyel

Small thing , una wan thief our oyel..

It’s good now that other states enjoy proceeds from oil while south south enjoy the oil spill plus their oyel

Good question. Always sleeping on duty!

Bunch of idiots...

Majority

This is when they should have called for media briefing to tell Nigerians what the North wanted to do but no, they kept mute until it happened.

I hope "militants" correct them.

North will always have upper hand on anything that's subjected to voting in the two houses - Senate and Rep and that is because the north has fraudulent numerical advantage over the south.

Take for instance,Kano has 44 LGAs while Lagos has just 20 ! That's a huge political advantage kano enjoys over Lagos whereas,it is no way near Lagos in terms of revenue generations and strategic importance. All these imbalances are crafted intentionally to make the north a senior partner in this unholy alliance.

The recently passed PIB bill will permanently nail the coffin of southern people gullibility if they allow it to see the light of the day. It must be vehemently rejected !

Ans:because the southern senators were given some eat-and-shut up dollars

The south needs to work on swaying legislators from Kwara, Kogi and Benue
19-3 =16
17+3 =20


That is achieveable with strategy
In 2015 GEJ won Nasarawa so nothing is set in stone

Even Plateau and Taraba can be turned

codedguy1:


They are all stupid. The southern senators. Is it today that they have known that the north has the advantage in that chamber? Can't they come together and scatter everything so that we can have a justifiable legislature but they keep allowing the north get away with everything because of their numbers.

Is it not obvious now that they can never pass anything on favour of the south as long as the north hold the numbers in the chamber. But because of their myopic sight and selfishness they continue to Bleep all of us in the south when the north gets away with things like this.

Most of our southern leaders, senators, reps and gov are fools.

you are right we don't have to keep allowing them to take advantage of us.

You're right, but what I don't quite understand is if you are trying to develop a reason why the senators are useless in this case.

Lawan can shot down a motion, or overrule a Senator or procedure. But what I can tell you that Lawan cannot and does not have the powers to pass a bill all by himself.

If Southern Senators don't vote with their conscience because they belong to the APC, then they are only useful to the APC but useless to the people they are representing. Exactly the point I'm trying to raise here.

It is an anathema for Senators to be useless to the people they represent. A political party is below the people in a democratic order.

They are useless to the people because it is rigging that gave them those seats, not whether Lawan is muscling them.
If the people are really the givers of political power which Democracy prescribed, they can't afford to respect Lawan and APC more than the PEOPLE they represent.

They are morons, and nothing less
