A minister in Theresa May's government has resigned for being late.

International Development Minister Lord Bates apologised to the House of Lords for his "discourtesy" at not being available to answer a question on Wednesday.

"I'm thoroughly ashamed for not being in my place and so I therefore shall be offering my resignation to the prime minister with immediate effect," he told peers.

There were shouts of "no" from across the chamber as Bates walked out, with several peers appearing to attempt to physically stop him from exiting.

Some peers were visibly in shock at the resignation......Can such a thing ever happen in Nigeria?

Not i my country!!.....they will come late and even walk in lyk they own d place and if you dare talk na wahala u dey bring for ursef......smd!!!

There could be more to that aside from beign late, He knows best.


@op, dont ever ask if a Nigerian can do that, must you compare everything white men does? everybody with his own cross!
