Nobody can explain why Nigerians seem prepared to tolerate bad things for Nigeria.

This attitude must stop ooo for our children's sake.

Nigerians, and I mean here indigenous people, this is our ancestral lands. Even if we travel out, this is what belongs rightfully to us. Non-indigenous people together with traitors among our people have been parasites to us and our ancestral lands with their natural resources.

Let us the indigenous people TAKE IT BACK! Let's take back what is rightfully ours. That means creating arrangements, alliances, governments etc that suit us.

What GOOD has the Senate ever done for indigenous Nigerians?

We only need ONE Legislative House so the idea to SCRAP THE SENATE is excellently good.

Please, indigenous people of Nigeria, spread this plan among us: Scrap the Senate

SENEGAL DISSOLVES SENATE TO SAVE GOVERNANCE COST
[b][/b]April 2012

Senegal – Senegalese lawmakers, who are divided between a 150-seat national assembly and a 100-seat senate, voted to do away with the senate, passing a law which dissolves the institution in order to save an estimated $15 million.

Minister of Justice Aminata Toure explained that the suppression Tuesday of the senate is intended to curb government spending, and will provide the cash needed to help the victims of the yearly rains which have left thousands homeless and killed at least 13 people, cbsnews reports.

Unlike the national assembly, the senate is a relatively recent institution, and has become a symbol of government waste. It’s been frequently pilloried and described as an instrument of cronyism, a way to reward loyal party workers who did not get elected to the larger national assembly. Around half the senators are directly appointed by the president.
Congress also voted to abolish the office of vice president, establish in 2009 by then-President Abdoulaye Wade, the BBC reports. It has not ever been occupied.

Nigeria should make all government positions not appetizing by reducing those overbloated salaries and allowances, but pay what every other person earns.

We only need to scrap their allowance system.
