*Nigeria LawMakers are becoming Bunch of Jesters:*

Yesterday, I saw one of the most ridiculous Bills being proposed by the current National Assembly of Nigeria. These Lawmakers are becoming bunch of jesters. A proposed bill set to be passed at the national assembly to keep graduate doctors in the country for five years before traveling out.

This Bill ought to have been killed at the First reading. It ought to have been thrown out. Why should Nigeria Lawmakers consider this kind of Bill in the first place.

Are you proposing this Bill on what grounds? On the grounds that Nigeria Government or National Assembly are the ones paying all the school fees of these Medical students? Are you proposing this Bill on the grounds that throughout these Students stay in the Universities, there were no ASUU Strike? That their Lecturers were being paid well? The non-academic Staff in the Universities were being taken care of? Or that they enjoy free meal, free Transport from Government.

To me, what the National Assembly should be considering is to pass a Bill into Law within one month. “I think they should pass a bill… that all politicians or Public office Holders in Nigeria should stay in Nigeria for their medical treatment.” Since their treatments and payments are being taken care of from Government Money. This is what they should propose and pass into law. In that Bill, they should make it a capital Punishment if any Politician disobey that law.
