If a rep member can made such statement, it shows how politicians generally view average Nigerians. They see us just like rats they can easily do away with.

He erred and has apologized. This deterrent is sufficient enough in my opinion.

It's sufficient because you weren't the one attacked and humiliated by someone who depends on your vote to have a job —elected official. This is typical Nigerian reaction at this point. angry

Asking that the rule of law to prevail in this case is akin to kee-ing him? sad

As I said earlier, you are indeed an example of the typical Nigerian. undecided

If it happened the other way around, do you think they would've been that lenient with the bolt driver?
