Daniel1990: There is what is called a referendum. The lawmakers represent the people but when you need to deal with issues as fundamental as this one, you go to the people through a referendum. It is a 'yes or no' vote. If the people decide they do not want the senate anymore, the process of scrapping it would begin. Commonsense suggests you allow the existing ones to complete their tenure before it finally winds up. If for example, the Brexit vote was left for the parliament, it would not have scaled through but the people spoke through a referendum and the prime minister, who did not even support Brexit, had no option. But do I want the senate scrapped? Certainly. It is superfluous especially in the extant economic climate. The house can make laws for Nigeria and it is more representative than the senate. Not that other arms of government are saints, but we have fewer crooks to deal with..at least, the ones we can't do without. For those bleating over the number of federal representatives from some states, what we need is a proper census.But in all fairness, you don't expect a state like Kano to have the same number of federal constituencies as Anambra. The population must count. Of course I am from Anambra. But the north on their part should remove the barriers to proper census in their area. These lies and acrimony are not helping this country. The only winners are the corrupt politicians. 2 Likes |

nwakibie3: May God bless you and the paps on which you sucked on as a child for that statement/QUESTION. Which Nigerian fit that category make we know. Slot Saidu name for Wikipedia - as loosely controlled as Wikipedia is - no result. That was how they gave Minister of Finance to a person with a Post-graduate diploma in accounting and head of Nigerian Economic team to Professor of law and called it round pegs in round holes. All local and international agencies advised against their economic policy direction, they called them corrupt, wailers and ignorant folks. Nigeria is fine, investors are rushing down here, we are not sliding into a recession. When recession now came, then say na PDP do am...... it's alright.

ehissi: Buhari is favoring the north. He's highly bigoted. Most northerners, including Buhari, are not qualified for the positions they are occupying. That's why Nigeria is where it is today. No merit. 2 Likes |

seguno2: Are u now saying there actions does not affect the common man in anyway. You are been centimental or just dont want to be reasonable. Let me be blunt, may be you will understand. The upper chamber (senate) is not doing there job...if its a company, it must have folded by now. Nigeria should just get rid of it, and channel the money else where. The democracy we copied from head to toe is not favouring us, we should be able to invent our own type of government. |

seguno2: I dont know if they did there job, my argument is that our Senate is not doing her job. Scrap it, and set up alternative type of government. If its unscrapable, modify the system to suit Nigeria simple. Unless, you want to tell me, Nigerian govt is doing well. The country is nose diving and if it continues this way, it will crash. I only pity the future generation, there hope is just slim. They will need to work harder than we are doing at the moment. |

mecussey: They are doing better than they did in 1999 - 2003. We are making progress in our democracy. We need to put more pressure to reduce their total salary and allowances to N1,000,000 which is more than the highest paid civil servants get from us. Cheers. 1 Like |

When everybody gets the msg, critize it, they will have enough reason to support the scrapping....for David to defeat Goliath, he needs maximum support. |
