MAJORITY of the lawmakers in Ondo State billed to travel to the United States of America for a seminar have been denied visa by the Country’s embassy in Nigeria.
Out of the 26 members of the state House of Assembly, investigation revealed that only the Speaker Hon Taofiq Abdusaalam and three other Principal Officers of the Assembly who applied for visa before the attempted suicide bombing of an American plane on 25 December last year by a Nigerian, Abdulmutalab Farouk,  were granted.

The denial of their visa might not be unconnected with the Abdulmutalab attempted bombing saga.

The members were scheduled to travel to the US for a two_week Seminar on the act of lawmaking from the middle of February this year after their recess last week.

Their last legislative assignment was the passage of the 2010 appropriation bill forwarded to them in December last year by the governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko. It was also learnt that the action of the US embassy to stop the lawmakers might not unconnected with the attempted suicide bombing of an American plane on 25 December last year by a Nigerian, Abdulmutalab Farouk. Shocked Huh?

It shoudn't take 26 of them to go out there at the taxpayers expense anyway that might be the rational behind it - Even half of that is still plenty .   

5-10 can go learn whatever and come share the information with the rest .  Why wont America think for me if i cant get it meself !

Any way my own comment will base on the U.S.A them self, Can somebody tell me what is the meaning of United Nations and warrin Unite for United nations? Don't you think that this same U.S  can be using Mutallib for something, mean while this boy said UK and Yemen the master planner of all this, let us ask the world arrangee masters if they don't know about this mess.

isnt that how they waste public funds. when they come back from the trip, they go buying latest landcriuser and and store women in the hotels. how many times has america went to nigeria for lawmaking? does nigeria even know what law is all about.
 my dad's younger brother is the dumiest thing i have ever seen in the rivers state house of assembly,  he could not even express himself during the last visit when the so called lawmakers visited U S A last years october. But this guy is one of the most richest guys in that local government. he could not even speak a common english. we hear stories everyday about the other half brother in the house of representative of not stepping up the plate in abuja either "shame"
