An Owerri-based journalist and PR practitioner, Mr. Ikechukwu Ogbonna has said the current bicameral legislature which accommodates the Senate and House of Representatives, comprising about 469 lawmakers is no more attainable in Nigeria, insisting that current economic realities has made it outdated. https://abntv.com.ng/2021/07/constitution-review-we-dont-need-469-lawmakers-unicameral-legislature-in-nigeria-overdue-iyke-ogbonna/ 48 Likes 12 Shares

colossus91:Supported ... but we do not need 9 representatives per state. All we need is 3 max. Just 109 representatives are enough. We need an agile government structure. Even the judiciary is over bloated. Scrap all Courts of appeal and create state supreme courts instead to finalise all state related cases. We like to duplicate functions. Scrap all election tribunals and special courts. We need only Federal high courts and nagistrate courts. Any judge not ready to sit and finalise cases after two adjournnent should go and open a chamber and leave the vench. 165 Likes 18 Shares |

Imagine 469 people with each one of them taking home 29m every month, without any reasonable bills, and you are still searching for why things are this bad, Buhari is a very big problem in Nigeria but he's not the only problem, just ask yourself how their salaries increased to that amount, under whose regime? 50 Likes 4 Shares |

Of a truth, I see no reason for such huge amount of Legislators. We need adopt a system that works for us. This particular one has failed and it is proven. A system that can't uphold Nigeria's unity is a failed system. 6 Likes |

Good Morning Great Minds, I will go straight to the point and please while answering my question, avoid insults and negative vibes as all I need right now are words of encouragement, I have passed through a lot. I am a graduate of Biochemistry with a second class upper division from a federal university, after completing my NYSC in 2020, I have tried securing a good job but it seems not coming, everything is not just working fine, though I have been able to make some savings and I have tried setting up a business but it haven't seen the light of the day yet, recently on Nairaland I came across a thread that says having a professional Certificate with experience helps in job hunting than a Masters Degree. Please I need a very good advice, what professional course can a Biochemistry graduate go for that will be beneficial and will it be better to go go for a Masters Degree while I continue to set up my business? Pardon my error and give your advice please. 4 Likes |

Nigeria does not need a bicameral legislature at the federal level. Just a unicameral legislature of highly educated men. About 6 men from the 6 different sub regions. Plus - minus 30 erudite scholars/technocrats would do! They should be backed up in their offices with very bright graduates across different professions as staff and there must be laid down rulles and guidelines on how and who to recruit as legislative staffs and assistants to the federal law makers.. The state legislative houses should also be disbanded and about 30 men elected regional house members to handle legislative duties for component states/units within each sub region. This means that a single legislative house should do the legislative jobs for all the states within each of the 6 regions in existence today.. Councilors at LG levels should only exist if there are no plans for remunerations by the government! Their services should be free and communities should be the ones to suggest names based on established voting units. 4 Likes |

SECONDED!!! FG should Merge Agencies with immediate effects, to save our darling country lots of billions being wasted (it's overdue) and leave Civil Servants salaries alone..... Okay? HOW NIGERIA CAN PAY MINIMUM WAGE COMFORTABLY.......... 1. Abolish SECURITY VOTE in NIGERIA.

With (1) + (2) Nigeria would pay a minimum wage of N65,000 comfortably 3. Move Nigeria MORE to Private Sector Driven Economy a) Privatise ALL of Federal Govt PARASTATALS & reduce Federal Direct Funded AGENCIES to 68% of the present. b) Privatise ALL of STATE Govt PARASTATALS & reduce State Direct Funded AGENCIES to 19% of the present. c) Reduce current DIRECT LABOUR JOB participation by 49% d) Encourage more Working Hours until Nigeria economic stabilizes e) Discourage UNIONISM in Public Workforce With (1) + (2) + (3), Nigeria would pay a minimum wage of N101,500 comfortably. 4) Institute DEATH PENALTY to proven THEFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS no matter how little, and LIFE Jail Sentences for COLLABORATORS.

Most of them only sleep in that their so called house. They have nothing to contribute to the development of the nation. They are supposed to be paid sitting allowance. Most of them don't even have a personal business of their own. They have turned politics to a money making venture. Barawos dem. 6 Likes |
