Open Letter to Members of NASS

Dear Hon. Senator/Representative,

Let me start by congratulating you on your recent victory to be my representative in the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is indeed an auspicious occasion that has seen you ushered in at a time when 'Change' seems to be what defines the moment. Without taking too much of your time, as you must evidently have little of it to spare, reading only me as against the millions of people out there who are all waiting and expecting you to 'hit the ground running', I will go straight to the matter.

I am first and foremost writing to express my outrage on the humongously outrageous sums that are being bandied about as the allowances that have been earned by past sessions of the National Assembly and will as well be earned by you and your colleagues in the newly inaugurated 8th Assembly. I would like to categorically state that it is a rip-off of extreme proportions to have such blatant sums doled out while so many problems afflict the general populace ranging from dilapidated infrastructures to extreme poverty and ultimately an imploding sub-human existence.

We as your constituents would like to therefore respectfully bring to your notice that we demand a revision of all allowances and payments due to the members of the National Assembly in order to bring them to a reasonable limit within the realm of decency and equitable parity. This is both in the context of exigency as well as graceful decorum.

It is pertinent to inform you that there is already a call to action that seeks to ensure all members of the National Assembly comply with the above, in line with the wishes of the Nigerian citizenry who are the highest level of decision making and in whom lies the ultimate power and authority in the country. Any failure in compliance will be met with an invocation of electoral recall.

I will not end without also conveying to you our representatives, that our expectation is for you to honor our mandate which we gave to you in trust at the polls. This must include but not be limited to sponsoring of bills and resolutions, full participation in all activities and engaging in robust discussions on all matters before the National Assembly. This would ensure that every single moment you spend as a representative is fully used in providing adequate representation and oversight on all issues that concern us as citizens while we continue to comfortably lead our day to day lives.

In conclusion, I want to reiterate our total support for you and belief in your capability and capacity to fulfill our wishes as your constituents and will always be available to provide you with whatever support and or advice you may need.

Long Live The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Yours faithfully,

Maje Amin 201506171324hrs

Ramblings

So many thoughts scattered  In the ocean  That is my head I do fear for this wayfarer. And here I was thinking  I was normal  Uuntil I met you. Shattering the glasses  My assumptions  Opened the door  To the coastline of reality. Smashed to pieces  My fears  Like angry bull  In a China-shop I'm now bathed in silkiness  Serenity  Confidence my new skin I wear  Like crocodile  Or his cousin once removed,  The snake. I'd have been kidnapped  By heart and mind  If not for Providence  Who sent Guidance to guard Inhibitions have been very strict  Leaving no room for idleness  To cajole me into reverie  To send into coma of self-delusion. This journey must be concluded  To it's end which is a known  Unknown Haidarwali 201506111756hrs

A Midnight Encounter

You see when it starts to rain, the soul that luvs the rain lights up with an electric fervor! . I close my eyes and listen to the musical lyrics of raindrops drumming upon the rooftop, which pours down the drains. . I sit against the windows and watch countless slates slash against the pane and flashes of lightening streak across the reddened midnight sky. And then... . POW! CRACKOW! A blasting blare of thunder makes me shudder, almost jumping out of fright. . And then gradually the rumbling rolls away like a cartwheel leaving me with the sound of dripping raindrops like a collection of pattering feet tapdancing. . A cool breeze sifts in carrying with it the scent of wettened earth and the promise of a sweet and sound night's sleep. . Haidarwali 201805250053hrs
