Saraki: We Are Tired Of ‘One Minute Silence’ For The Dead In Nigeria

Saraki

Senate President, Dr.Bukola Saraki has lamented over carnage in Zamfara communities state where scores of people were killed.

He said, the Senate was getting tired of one minute silence often observed in honour of the dead in Nigeria.

In his apparent abhorrence to incidences of killing across the nation and lately, in Zamfara communities, he noted that the ugly trend must not continue.

Reacting to a motion sponsored by Senator Tijjani Kaura representing Zamfara North Senatorial district, Saraki posited that drastic measures must be taken to forstall further killing of innocent citizens anywhere in Nigeria.

‘Distinguished Colleagues, I must say therefore, that we are tired of observing one minute silence for the dead in this chambers.”

“How long do we continue? Something must be done. Enough to these killings”, he insisted.

    I think you people should take action instead of talking. It’s very sad that you Saraki who is educated and intelligent . Has a Senate president do nothing but pocket money into your account. What do you senators do in the house besides fighting and sharing money. Please, I am begging you in the name of Allah that you pray to , please help create jobs for the youth or set up allowance for the poor who are suffering. Remember nobody take money with them when they died. May God help you.

    Unfortunately the youths who re supposed to lead a revolution that will overturn the table are already being used by the oppressors to wage media war against their fellow oppressed. Shame on us all. You give up and attack an idea just because its not your own or because you think its not gonna work out….

    What is it that you are not tired of?
    Sending military to kill peaceful people of Biafra
    I sincerely think you’d get tired of that too.
    Get tired of running from the law court on cases related to the terror group IPOB.
    Get tired of lying on the social media platform.
    Get tired of siphoning our money to foreign banks.
    Get tired of sending pythons dancers to our homes
    Get tired of sending people to prison without trials.
    Get tired of lying against IPOB and her leadership

    Then make it half minute instead of a minute. Because the seed planted by the north in the name of boko Haram is now yielding a fruitful result. Am sorry if I sound unsympathetic, but it factual of the northern political strategy to kill and destroy their ordinary people in the name of politics.

    Awusa he goat is insinuating that Nigerians can kill Biafrans, Nigeria has killed ten thousand Biafrans since Biafra assumed the Office of Mallam President of Nigeria. As the slang states what goes around comes around, Awusa and Fulani is the law of nature.
