[size=15pt]Uni-cameral legislature [/size] The principal advantage of a unicameral system is more efficient law-making, as the legislative process is much simpler and there is no possibility of legislative deadlock. For example, the immediate past 7th National Assembly failed to pass the controversial Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), a re-occurring development that has greeted past assemblies which have failed to pass the bill since its introduction in 2008. Even though the House of Representatives passed the PIB, at the Senate, legislative work on the Bill stopped at committee level. Proponents of uni-cameralism have also argued that it reduces costs, as even if the number of legislators is the same as it would be in a multi-cameral system, there are fewer institutions to maintain and support. Approximately half of the world’s sovereign states are presently uni-cameral, including both the most populous (the People’s Republic of China) and the least populous (the Vatican City). In the United Kingdom, the devolved Scottish Parliament, National Assembly for Wales and Northern Ireland Assembly are also uni-cameral. http://www.scoop.ng/2015/06/cost-of-governance-mulling-a-part-time-or-uni-cameral-legislature.html/ |
[size=15pt]Part-time Practice In US, UK [/size] A Nigerian, Paul Ojenagbon, in a report in 2011 submitted that part-time legislation can be practiced conveniently and effectively at both national and state levels. At state level, the United States is under three categories of legislature – Red, White and Blue legislatures. The Red legislatures require the “most time” of legislators, usually 80 per cent of a full time job. The legislators keep large staff of an average of 8.9 persons per legislator. Legislative sessions in the Red legislature are also longer and as a result, they are compensated at a higher rate of $68,599 (approximately N10, 632,845) per annum. America’s most populous states run this model, including California, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania The report states in part: Legislatures in the White . are hybrids. They spend more than two-thirds of a full-time job being legislators. Legislators under this . have intermediate sized staff averaging 3.1 persons. They devote about 70 percent of full time to the job and are compensated $35,326 (approximately N5, 475, 5300) per annum. Blue legislators are lawmakers who spend the equivalent of half of a full-time job doing legislative work. They receive low compensation and so they are required to have other sources of income in order to make a living. Their offices are run with lowest staffing ratio of 1.2 persons per legislator. Blue legislators devote about 54 percent of the time on the job and are compensated at the rate of $15,984 (approximately N2, 477,520) per annum. This type of legislature can be found in the lesser populated states. In the United Kingdom, the current annual salary for a Member of Parliament (MP) is £65,738 (approximately N16, 434,500) in addition to minimal allowances to cover costs of running an office and employing staff. Legislators can also be remunerated on “per sitting” basis so that the delinquent ones would have to sit tight or lose out on remuneration. The equivalent is the per diem (daily payment) per session that was practiced in the US between 1789 and 1855 before it became an annual salary that we adopted, but which our legislators have not largely justified. A notable observation from this model is while Nigerian legislators are full-time (Red) in principle or on the paper, in reality, virtually all the legislators are in the Blue but collecting remuneration for full-time session. http://www.scoop.ng/2015/06/cost-of-governance-mulling-a-part-time-or-uni-cameral-legislature.html/ |

“I want to tell you precisely that the cause of our own problem in the APC is nothing but the game plan which has already started regarding who becomes what in 2019. I have said it severally and I have maintained this position to say that the APC and our political party leaders, especially the stakeholders who have dragged the party into this mess, simply because of their selfish interest and their ambitions, are being unfair to our people". - Alhassan Ado Doguwa {Chief Whip of the House of Representatives}

How art thou fallen from the mountain TOP, O' Rauf Aregbesola, where are your O' Yes projects? O' yes meal O' yes boys O' yes girls You are a complete disgrace to the Omoluabis for mismanaging Osun State resources. Ipinle Omoluabi now in shamble under your watch. - We are yet to see the benefit of the wasted fund in changing the state name from "Osun State" to the "State of Osun" - We are yet to see the benefit of building a new airport in Osun when the nearest at Ibadan is just 45 minutes drive away. - All your projects which necessitated the state increased debt profile is now moribund. - Where is that your "Tallest Drum" ? - Have you sold your helicopter ? - The Fakunle High School converted to Shoprite investment, how far with the ROI? In a sane society, you should have resigned before now. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/09/aregbesola-best-performing-governor-icpc/

[size=15pt]But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. 1 Timothy 4:1 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. Romans 1:28[/size] |

ECOTERRORS:If Nigeria must be free, we must join our voices together to ask the looters to return our stolen wealth irrespective of the party affiliation. We are now in the era of the hunters being hunted. ALL Nigerian politicians are extremely corrupt. |
Freemanan:Can you please see beyond partisanship and be objective for once? Our common wealth is being stolen and the same people are singing CHANGE and corruption free to the gullible. May God expose all the corrupt politicians in Nigeria. They MUST return all the stolen wealth. |
davidque007:I choose the later most especially in the era of CHANGE and killing corruption. |
