If possible reduce them to just 36 because they are there doing nothing

When you share a country with people who are more concern about cows and donkeys you don't expect much. The only way is to look for a means of moving out of the contraption

Open a thread!

senatepresido:
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.

If you are young, focus on entering any of the big four audit firm. Once you get in, do ICAN and start looking for other better options and attempt to jakpa to the promised Land(canada)

You can try banks as a backup.

But why should it matter? If the PIB fiasco is anything to go by, you see how easily a particular region can use their numbers to always favor them.

I don't think it should be so

As far as I'm concerned, the large state can use thier numbers to decide the executive, but I think when it comes to lawmaking, just a representative per state will suffice, irrespective of size

with the pib stuff i dont see any major development in the north. The region is still the poorest and the people are content with that so the pib is just what their politicians will mismanage and the status quo will remain.

The number is not the problem. The UK has way more despite being one third our population. The problem is the renumeration. Reduce the renumeration.

Best we change to Parliamentary System of Government.
Very cheap and we will achieve a lot.
Only House of Representatives
1. Speaker will be the President or Prime Minister
2. All the Ministers will be appointed from the Representatives .
3. All DG will be selected from the Representatives

Secondly
1. We don't need any State Government
Only House of Representatives and Local Governments
2. Local Government Counselors Only
One of them will be the major and others will serve inform of commissioners in their local governments.

I disagree with that opinion sir, what Nigeria need is to killed all Nigeria leaders and to refresh Nigeria in young country and started over. The new leaders will be :
A native doctor for president,
Pastor for vice president
Iman for legislative president
Than Nigerians will thank me later

Religious Sentiments.!!

SmartPolician:
Buhari doesn't pay them salaries; there's an agency that sets and pays them salaries. Where I consider your oldie in Aso Rock utterly useless is that he hasn't carried out any sweeping reforms to transform this country. He appears to me like someone who is scared of stepping on toes even though we were told he is a retired general.

Given the way he touted the war on corruption, I thought he would even empower the EFCC to be more proactive by checking how state governors spend their resources before they are spent. The antigraft agencies need to be proactive to stop corruption, not charging corrupt people to court to recover already squandered money.

Buhari was actually overhyped by the intellectuals back then. He has nothing up his sleeves. Nearly 7yrs now, and nothing transformational about his govt. I can't pinpoint a sweeping reform in any sector or section of the Nigerian polity. His fight against corruption is the most useless I've seen. No significant improvement, rather we've gone farther aback.

Of a truth, we don't need bicameral legislature based on our economic situation. A unicameral legislature that puts into consideration the population peculiarities of each state is better. Take for instant, a representative to 2milion electorates. The daunting question is, do we even have a national demographics? Truly, we don't have thinkers in power.

Make a lot of sense. One house of fewer law makers can serve the peoples interests well.

Well I would have loved to see it happening, but we are so divided along tribal and religious
sentiment.

We need 6 regions, 6 governors, 6 regional houses of assembly of not more than 25, persons each, 1 federal house of representative of 24 senators. 1 president, devolution of powers to empower the regions and you will see people dying to move to Nigeria in next 20years. Aswear.

Validated:
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.

Thank you Sir.

Lawmaking, in an ideal world, is just as important as the executive and the executive cannot get their budgets or projects funded without the legislature so both should use the system of majority rule. That already happens with the presidency as one needs 50% to win but for the legislature (unless the electoral system is changed), it is vital that each district have the same population. The state have very different populations and that should be reflected in the amount of seats each state has. Take for example Bayelsa (around 2 mil pop.) and Rivers (around 7 mil pop): if both elected the same number of representatives, then Rivers voters would have three and a half times less influence then Bayelsa voters. It would not be democratic to allow such a massive deviation in voter power for such an important body.
