Speaker Madam...

The Federal house of representatives of the Federal republic of Nigeria has been in a state of 'na wa o'...in recent times. In my last post in June...i was so happy to announce that we had a female speaker, but now... I'm not sure I'm still that proud of mummy Etteh, You know Nigerian politics is nothing like what obtains world over... so many natural laws don't apply

I heard about a senate representative in Yankee who had to resign because he had added a $15 receipt spent on personal stuff whilst on an official assignment with all the other receipts remitted to his office (which will be paid up with government purse). Immediately he was accused ... he wasted no time but thought of the situation as an integrity issue and resigned honorably.

Government office is no one's father's house/property...I wonder why we can't just do some things (like resign)...for the sake of respect or preservation of Family name... now no one wants to be associated to the name ETTEH... we've not even heard anything about madam speaker's husband or children(if she were your mum... what would you do?).

I strongly believe that this is a wake up call to young, up and coming leaders to learn simple things like integrity, respect... whilst on the way up the ladder...'cos if you don't have it when you're down or on the way up you will not have it when you get up there...

Your behavior is only a reflection of your character...
