We can't keep amending this military document we loved to call our constitution. There are many inadequacies in the constitution which only a new constitution written by the people can address.

10 of those 13 will favor their own pockets. The bills that won't have any positive effect on a common man

You know, sometimes I feel that aside whatever Nnamdi Kanu did to you, probably a crush unfulfilled, your biggest achievement is your hate.
Keep up. Like we care??

It's not like your opinion matters to any sensible person.

What bill? Didn't see any detail about the bills

That's OK. At least this Senate is more serious and hardworking, unlike the business as usual in the past administration.

you've been a nuisance ever since I started noticing your hateful speech on nairaland. Is self determination a crime? Is Catalonia, Western Sahara, Southern Cameroon and co not fighting for self determination? If a relationship is not favorable to someone doesn't he or she have a choice to back out? Talk like someone that has sense and not someone with pap I'm the skull instead of brains.
