These people are very mad. So that's the best they can come up with in that house right? Could someone please help explain to those fools up that chamber this isn't a military dictatorship of 1982¿

These useless jaundized pigs couldn't see bills on corruption to pass, couldn't sponsor bills that seek to industrialize the nation, that seeks to restructure this contraption called Nigeria. The only thing they could do is jail term for jumping queues. You see the way those men reason? I won't also be surprised if the pig is from the APC! It's just in them.

It was 1983...to 1999.

That bill is targeting the wrong crowd. They should include verhicle drivers that form 5 lanes on a 2 lane road when there is traffic jam and those Govt officials that uses siren indiscriminately.

A bill proposing six months imprisonment for persons who shunt or distort queues in public places on Thursday scaled second reading at the House of Representatives.

The Sponsor of the bill, Rep. Abubakar Amuda-Kannike (Kwara-APC), while leading debate on it, said that it sought to ensure that Nigerians conducted themselves orderly in public places.

Amuda-Kannike said that it was normal practice for some Nigerians to shunt or distort queues and go unpunished.

He expressed worry that recent events had shown that Nigeria was on the verge of losing its cherished sense of nationalism, cultural identity and hospitality.

“The bill underscores the need to re-awaken a derailed national culture by proposing disciplinary measures to guide Nigerians in their daily behaviours.

“In our society today, out of total disregard for other persons, who strive to do the right thing by conducting themselves orderly in public places, a large number of Nigerians distort queues and go unpunished.

“The bill if passed shall provide a starting point of value and cultural re-orientation in Nigeria,” the lawmaker said.

He expressed optimism that the bill if passed, future generations would have a more sane society that would help to shape morals, principles and respect for each other in addition to adequate awareness on what constitute nationhood.

He decried the prevailing level of corruption, indiscipline, disrespect to elders and the rule of law in the country.

“The bill underscores the need to re-awaken the derailed national culture by proposing disciplinary measures to guide Nigerians in their daily behaviours.

“Any nation that is not organised cannot have rapid growth.

“We should be seen as organised people from point of entry but we have accepted that anything goes.

“Every school should have civic education in its curriculum to instil patriotism and orderliness in the country,” Amuda-Kannike said.

Contributing, Rep. Sam Onuigbo (Abia-PDP) said that the bill would also ensure orderliness, equity, fairness and justice in the distribution of services in the country.

“It will be nice for us to be seen as orderly people from the point of entry into the country,” Onuigbo said.

Rep. Ayo Omidiran (Osun-APC) said “by being orderly in all our activities, we will be transmitting good behavioural pattern to generations and this will promote a better society”.

After the debate, the bill was passed for third reading through a unanimous voice vote.

Why must everything in Africa be made like a joke and an animal farm Could it be because we are rich in wild life and games This is one of the worst bill I have ever had, what about a bill to make people embrace farming with passion and a bill to eradicate poverty I believe somebody somewhere is been fooled here. As far as am concerned, such bill is highly unwarranted because it is as dump as spanking a child and asking him or her not to cry.

This is more like reminding Nigerians and Africans that no matter what we do, we will always all remain animals be you rich or poor! I expect to hear more of anti corruption and more of antigraft bill to checkmate the excesses of unruly politicians who have made a cabal of the states affairs!

Stupidity of the highest order!!!

can you imagine? a bill for 6 months jail term for those that distorts queue.
everything needs to be really understood. is it for the external agent that comes from no where to do it or the poor longing to get attended to, the attendant doing rubbish, some people using familiarity and the likes ...

well am not preaching violence but i think our house of reps sometimes just pass bills that are irrelevant.

what bill have they passed on people that steal public fund among other more serious matters, only for them to be cycling the court of law...

i rest my thumb at this point

This is not how to inculcate virtues.

I expect many lawless Nigerians to kick against this.
They stay on queue while in New York, London and Dubai,
but they find it hard to do so at home.
This legislation is on point.

Stop ranting, think with your head,
we shouldn't excuse pick-pocket because armed robbers exist.
You want to live in a lawless and disorganised country, yet you
complain about everything.

SalamRushdie:


So who is going to enforce it? Are we going to set a Queue Monitoring Agency called QMA to that ? Or are citizens expected to arrest anyone who breaks a queue? I think the bill is beautiful nonsense, the best thing is to start a culture of orientation from kindaGarten schools and watch hoe this problem disappears in 20 years time

very sensible statement.

This is stupidity to the law makers, we have digital queues in other countries. From the bank to other public places.

When you come , you press a machine and the machine will print out your queue number. You don't have to queue on someone's back.

All you need to do is to wait for the machine to call your number.

What is really wrong with Nigerian digital system? Am really ashamed that our law makers swallowed their shame trying to pass this into law when Nigeria have other pressing needs that the law makers should look into. Shame to Nigerian Law makers.
