Fedayeen:
I will support banning illiterates without certificate from ever mounting the saddle of Presidency in Nigeria

VoteDemiladgold:
Even If Nigeria opts to dissolve its senate, I don't think the national assembly will be any more competent to handle federal issues.


But do you think Nigeria should continue to copy what others are doing here and there?

this is what we need in Nigeria. but we all knows it will never work. Senegal is a small country with a population is just 14 million people.

we have more population and more politicians in Nigeria. and the senate is what is been used to reward party faithfuls.
