May i have your attention please.
Nigeria runs what we call a "bicameral legislator"
In other words, the job of one legislative arm is handled by two.
The reason is very simple.
The Senate reflects Equality of states
36 states produce 3 senators, FCT produces 1.
(36*3)+1=109senators with equal power
The House of Reps reflects the equality of every citizen.
In this case, every state is given rep mrmbers based on their actual population. Lagos has one of the highest number of honourables (24), same as kano (24), then bayelsa and nasarawa are the least with 5 seats each before FCT (2 seats). But the total number of honourables is 360.
The senate was created because most states felt cheated based on the population thingy, so we decided to make all states have the equality in the senate.
I hope you understand?

Even the Bible said cut off that which would lead you to damnation no matter how important.

DAT'S OLD SCHOOL THINKING. SACKTHESENATE. We do not need them. If they can buy 108 cars for 36 million naira each while they r homeless people in the North and children dying of hunger in Lagos then they r worthless to us. They need to go

and the lower house is made up of saints
Besides, the reps are also towing same line.

The sinators are thieves and a drain on the nations economy, period

Nigerian senators are the highest paid in the world yet they are the most useless and laziest senators in the world, all what they know how to do is to steal our money and make laws that favours them only.
As far as am concerned they are not adding anything meaningful to this country instead they are Draining our economy.
