As the 8th Senate clocks one year on June 9, a report shows that 53 out of 103 senators spent the last one year without sponsoring any bill of their own. http://businessdayonline.com/2016/06/51-of-senators-are-bench-warmers/ |

Stale. Na today? We dont need statistics to tell us what we already know. Most of our senators are useless and our senate should be scraped. The HoR is enuf. How has the senate improved the life of the common man since its inception? The money saved should be channeled towards agriculture and education. 2 Likes |

The most important thing is to be able to find a body that can regulate their salaries n allowance, check mate them,but I don't think it can exist,if such is founded,at least it won't be too lucrative for the intending or aspiring senators |

For inside the list. Taraba, Nassarawa and Adamawa carry last with all 3 senators just warming the bench. Why wouldn't these states be backward? David Mark is obviously trying to figure out what hit him, being on the floor is like a mirage. 4 Likes |

Most of them don't even understand the proceedings in the House as they are not very different from illiterates. Most of those bench warmers are just there because of fat salaries and allowances and they don't even know what legislation is all about. I know a serving senator who cannot join three to four words to make a correct sentence. IMHO, to aspire for membership of the senate, u must either be a seasoned journalist or a barrister, otherwise we will wake up one morning only to discover that all our senators are illiterates. |

i think Oby Ezekesili was the first person that raised this issue earlier this year. Nigeria senators are the most corrupt, most irrelevant part of government we have in Nigeria. Wonder why every past governor aim to be a senator- cause as a politician in Nigeria if u nver chop money as a senator, na him be say u nver chop anything be that.. Am sure having first class graduates from every university and poly in Nigeria to represent as senators coupled with some old professor to back them up will be better than a house of senate comprising of above 100 polithiefcians. 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is seriously unpardonable but I know for sure it's the very truth Due to the bogus salaries and allowances senators are entitled to that's their main reason of been there and they'll just attend just to mark register and collect allowances If you are heartbroken by their actions like me click like 1 Like |
