The funny thing is that I saw two senators from a State grin grin grin Rivers included . Even Magnus Abe, in all his experiences in government. Even as the senate man incharge of petroleum downstream, he should have said smthing for the Ogonis.

Abali1: we used to have one house of Rep. member from Abia State during OBJ's tenure whose only contribution in about 3years or more of his stay in the House was "I Concur". Those who follow Abia State politics knows who I am talking about.


grin

I bet a million dollars that the dude has no idea what the bill was even about.

He most likely said that after he woke up from his afternoon nap right inside the 'house'.

Kinsmen hail Ngige over anti-gay marriage bill
July 15, 2013 by Emmanuel Obe, Awka



Dr. Chris Ngige

Dr. Chris Ngige

The Catholic community in Awka, Anambra State on Sunday praised former Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chris Ngige, for fighting against same sex marriage in Nigeria.

The church made the commendation at the presentation of the Catholic Laity Manual of the Awka Diocese of the church, where Ngige was a special guest. Ngige represents Anambra Central in the Senate.

Chairman of the council, Dr Raphael Agazie, who conveyed this commendation, said Ngige had shown a lot of focus in representing Anambra State .

Agazie said Ngige effectively filled the gap for Anambra North and Anambra South Senatorial zones in the constituency projects in 2012 when there was nobody representing the two senatorial districts

He also commended Ngige for being the first Senator to operate with effective constituency offices to interface with his constituents.

Ngige has a constituency office in each of the seven LGAs that make up his senatorial zone, with a central Constituency office in Awka coordinating them.

The council chairman said, “There are so many things that people did not understand before this event which they now do and it helps us to appreciate that the mandate given to you to represent Anambra Central Senatorial is well-placed.

“What we can say from here is that you should continue with the footstep with which you are going and by which we have always known you. The LCN knows about some of the issues you have raised here and has also been working on some of them.”

Nigige spoke on his role in the Senate since 2011, noting that he co-sponsored the anti-gay bill, the health bill and had as Vice-Chairman of the Senate Committee on Power, taken steps to ensure power supply to the people of the South-East.[/quote]

slap1: Some of them rig their way back, others give back to their constituencies, like EMEKA IHEDIOHA (IMO STATE GOVERNOR, 2015), while others go there to bark and show-off, without making meaningful impact back home. Patrick Obaghiagbon was popular and 'active' in there, littering the chamber with Latinized, jaw-breaking, head-shaking, retina-weakening English. During elections, his people voted him out. Grammar doesn't fix roads or give scholarships.
ihedioha?what has he given back just curious?

even some of this senators still want to contest for secord tenure while they cannot sponsor a bil for 2yrs plus , some of them still want to run for governor in their respective state.what a fail country we are! chop our money senators ,they are known as motion supporters,even some of them will vote in favour of this under age marriage because they dont know what that bill is all about,they are only thinking of how to win billions contract and dance alingo with underage girls

If they didn't participate in sponsoring bills.They must participated in one or two debate and votings. I know say dem support the child molestation bill sponsored by Yerima. Old fools.
Re: 34 Senators Tabled No Bills In Two Years by Soundmind(m): 1:57pm On Jul 31, 2013

Are you from Mbaise? If yes, when last did you visit? Ihedioha is responsible for at least 60 percent of the new roads that are currently being built in Mbaise. From Ife, Ezinihitte; to Aboh and Chokoneze. You can inquire from those at home. The boy done good.

miqos02: Halfway into the tenure of the Senate, 34 senators have not sponsored any bill since coming to office, according to official records released by the Senate.

The Senate's Mid-Term Assessment Report shows that of the total 109 senators, 74 have sponsored at least a bill during the period starting June 2011 while the rest initiated none. Senate President David Mark sponsored no bill but, by convention, he is not expected to table any bill in his capacity as presiding officer of the Senate.

A Daily Trust analysis of the assessment report issued last month reveals that senators who did not sponsor any bill constitute about one-third of the upper chamber.

This is coming amidst public debate on the emoluments of Nigerian federal lawmakers, who a recent report by the Economist ranked top in a global chart of Economist ranked top in a global chart of legislators' salaries.

Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) records in possession of Daily Trust show that each senator is entitled to N35 million in yearly salaries and allowances.

Based on this alone, the 34 senators would have collectively received more than N1 billion in wages, apart from other hefty allowances received in quarterly instalments.

No bills

Senators who did not sponsor any bill in the two years under review, according to the assessment report, include Jibrilla Mohammed Bindowo (PDP, Adamawa), Chris Ngige (ACN, Anambra), Babayo Garba Gamawa (PDP, Bauchi), George Akume (ACN, Benue), Maina Ma'aji Lawan (ANPP, Borno), Mohammed Ali Ndume (PDP, Borno), Ahmad Zannah (PDP, Borno), Nwanko Christopher (PDP, Delta), Oguji Sunny (PDP, Ebonyi) and Babafemi Ojudu (ACN, Ekiti).

Other senators with no bills are Mohammed Danjuma Goje (PDP, Gombe), Abdulazeez Usman (PDP, Jigawa), Ahmed Makarfi (PDP, Kaduna), Mohammed Sani Saleh (CPC, Kaduna), Kabiru Gaya (ANPP, Kano), Sadiq Yar'Adua (CPC, Katsina), Mohammed Magoro (PDP, Kebbi), Suleiman Adoke (PDP, Nasarawa), Solomon Ewuga (CPC, Nasarawa), Obadara Olugbenga Onoalapa (ACN, Ogun), Kunlere Boluwaji (LP, Ondo), Robert Boroffice (LP, Ondo), Olusola Adeyeye (ACN, Osun) and Hosea Agboola Ayoola (PDP, Oyo).

Also on the list are Magnus Abe (PDP, Rivers), Wilson Asinobi Ake (PDP, Rivers), Mohammed Maccido (PDP, Sokoto), Abubakar Umar Turare (PDP, Taraba), Aisha Jummai Alhassan (PDP, Taraba), Alkali Jajere (ANPP, Yobe), Bukar Abba Ibrahim (ANPP, Yobe), Ahmed Sani Yarima (ANPP, Zamfara), Sahabi Alhaji Ya'u (PDP, Zamfara) and Kabiru Garba Marafa (ANPP, Zamfara).
