[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.

[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.

egift:
I just read a Daily post article that our lawmakers are about to embark on another 6-weeks recess. I find it very bad. There are a lot to be done and these politicians in both chambers are among the top earners in the world. Even if we can't get them to cut down on their salaries and bonuses, at least they should get busy and work.

I therefore move the motions to propose:
1. That our lawmakers in Nigeria should be paid for only the days of sitting in the chambers for deliberations.
2. Those that are absent should not be paid as well (unless they got a written absentee letter signed by the leadership).
3. That this will apply to both the Senate and House of Reps.
4. All the major bonuses should also be paid on per sitting bases as well.
5. The days of weekend (Saturday and Sunday) should attract half pay to all members (whether there is any official assignment or none in those Saturdays and Sundays.
6. Any further modification of the Salaries of our Lawmakers should be subjected to public review. Because they are representing us, we should have a say on what they should be paid.

What do you think and what further recommendations can you add?

“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}

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?

cos he's definitely going to have a large chunk to imprison.

Imagine the Lame excuse by BRF... If its a government website.

1. How come it has his full name as the domain name?

2. How long will it continue to be a govt website

3. Why is the website up till now updating personal activities of the former governor

4. If this is a new initiative, why is LASG not setting up and funding website for other former governors

Obviously, the services provided goes beyond just website or just one website, it's a one time fee service with lifetime commitment to not only develop the websites, but to also service and manage more than one website including the Lagos state Countdown website for LIFE.

[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

If this statement if from fashola, then i see Nigerians as fools. I see no reason he will be sent to kirikiri.

A website for pics and pdf files for 78m. Thats nonesense.

A country with over 60% living below 1 dollar a day and those elected to handle our resources spend 78m on just a website. Yet we go to other countries to take loan and spend it on website?


The western world will be laughing at us. And hungry citizens of that country will be here defending him.

I am sure alot of developers would be willing to develope a better site for free.

This is corruption staring at us in the face. If 78m was spent on a website, who knows how inflated other contracts wouls be.
