Fortunately or unfortunately NL analysis are not on the table at Obudu or on the floor at NASS!

As it is, the battle for senate presidency is between NC and NE, GEJ wants it to stay in NC. House Speakership is between SW on one hand and NC, NW, NE on the other. SGF is between SW and SE. PDP Chair has been technically handed to the North, but let's await final announcement. South-South doesn't seem to be featuring much in negotiation for now, maybe wait for ministerial slots. It will only be a couple of days from now, no need to be getting hot under the collar.

okay, i understand your point, but if they're relying on their obsolete majority, that means they are not for real meritocracy. On a normal setting, the northerners are supposed to be represented by southerners, cos when i was going through the profile of their representatives, most of them are just having O'level (thats why they dont make education for their vassals). So, i dont why a poorly educated northerner will participate in making laws that will guide the likes of chinua achebe, wole soyinka et al

Do you guy think education present a good law for the development of the country and betterment of the citizenry? That is why each lawmaker is expected to have office and recruit the best brain from the lawyers, activists and professionals to do the thinking. They are being paid for all these but always swallow the money.

So, you need to be disciplined, have strong political will, honest and downhearted to be able to make good laws not education as you represented it.

I have an even better idea, let's get rid of zoning, but better still let's get rid of quota system once and for all.
