When will this shame end? The saga sorrounding the Speaker of the House of Representatives continues. The speaker, Ms Etteh has refused to resign over the contract scandal. And now there is the story that Honourable Aminu Safana of Katsina dies during a scuffle during the house of represenatives session debating Ms Etteh’s case? I am forced to ask - how many people must die for her to do the right thing?

I was reading through the different angles of the Etteh story and to be honest, all the stories and opinions I saw are saddening. Here is a woman who is the highest ranking female Nigerian official ever. A woman representing over 50 million Nigerians. And all she could do was to get involve in a ridiculous scam - awarding over N600m worth of contract to renovate her official residence. It is very ridiculous. Will these leaders ever learn? Will there be a time when they will put the needs of the nation over their own personal interests?
I just hope that for the sake of the respect the great Nigerian women deserve, she will step down.
