With the recent fracas in the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, one needs not to be told that the people of Nasarawa state have only succeeded in electing the likes of Shaw Michael, Undertaker, Kane, Mike Tyson, Mohammed Ali and Jackie Chan into the state House of Assembly.

It is absolutely ridiculous that grown and matured men who have been duly elected to enact laws in the state end up showing off their Kunfu skills shamelessly. It was embarrassing to see Honourable men visibly denigrating themselves to a fist fight like kids fighting over a candy.

It has been speculated that the genesis of the fracas was as a result of the refusal by some members of the House over the Governor's appointment and inauguration of sole administrators to man the affairs of the local government councils pending when elections would be conducted.

What could have possibly made the temper of this Honourable legislatures to flare up to the extend of exchanging blows? Be it whatever it may, it is morally inappropriate for Honourable members to indulge each other in a fist fight at the premises of the House.

This show of shame is happening in a state that has prioritised the construction of an airport over the payment of arrears it owed the lecturers in its state owned university. It is ridiculous that Nasarawa state that can not afford to pay her striking lecturers is constructing an airport, which is of little or no importance to the poor masses in the state. Can the importance of education to the society be compared to that of an airport? Why build an airport in Nasarawa State, when an international airport in Abuja is just few kilometres away.

Government properties were visibly destroyed by this "wrestlers", now the pertinent questions is; would those destroyed properties be replaced from this lawmakers salary and allowance? Its a capital NO!!! Obvious you need not to be told, those properties would be replaced from the tears and hard labours of innocent taxpayers. Those destroyed properties would be replaced from the tax collected from that innocent businessman, that farmer and that teacher who knew nothing about the crisis.

What sort of legacy are they laying down for the younger generation?

Yes, it is true that those indicted as the originators of the crisis have been indefinitely suspended. But after then what next? They would be recalled back with just a slap on the wrist.
