Ok

What is the job of a senator? To make laws, please so far what have nigerians benefited from the laws they make? Cost of governance in nigeria has always been an issue. It is only when the executive cuts down ,that the senate can cut down Simple...

scrapping the senate can't be enough.let's banish them from nigeria.at least,they've earned enough to sustain them for like 50yrs as a 'normal-spending human'.

congratulations!you just made common-sense!

I keep saying this, Nigeria should shift to parliamentary system of gov, its cheaper to run anvits working for the British, smh

The head is sick, hence all the effects we see on the body. Imagine an 'executive member' with a N40M bag!

RETIREMENT BENEFIT

We need a referendum to be able to scrap them and guess who gives the go ahead if the referendum will hold or not it's the same hous3

Hmmm..after seeing this list all I can say is,

They av leaders we have looters,
They av representatives we av representathieves,
They av legislators we av legislooters,
They legislate we legislathieves,
They av politicians we av polithieving,
They care about their names,our senator care about fame,
They form policy to rule, ours form falsified our rules for their gain,
They pass bill for their populace ours make will for their generations,
Our senators only count their gains and leave us with pains,
Their populace is their priority,our senator their pockets matter most:

But painful enof you see the same masses fighting themselves coz of ppu who care less about them.

They should just remove the 2m oh and leave them with the 180+ thousands...they'll still be the highest paid in the world ooh

We can amend the Constitution to cancel The Senate and transfer its functions freely and without extra cost to The National Council of State. 2, Let's do this in addition to granting FULL AUTONOMY TO THE 36 STATES AND COLLAPSING NIGERIA CONSTITUTIONALLY INTO SIX EXISTING ZONES. 3,Membership of The House of Representatives should be reduced to THREE MEMBERS PER STATE.

my dear it will not be possible because na them go still scrap am.

[size=18pt]I still prefer subsidising the national assembly at public expense compared to housing and feeding the current parasitic first family.

Why is Zahra and Yusuf Buhari still living with their parents at Aso rock?

Zahra should be married off asap or made to get a job and move out.

Yusuf can manage the family business of cow herding in Katsina. [/size]
