Can you explain dis clearly. Am trying hard to get what you are trying to point out.

Thank you, please let me elaborate.

First of all, we need just one Legislative Chamber (Parliament), which means we will not have a Senate and Representatives Houses, it is too expensive. Instead we will have just one Legislative Chamber. Let's say we decide that Each State will be represented by 5 persons.

By abrogating the Senate and Federal House of Reps, we will save a lot of money. And we will have just one house of Representatives. And we set a requirement for any member wanting to be a member of Parliament.

Now if we elect 5 persons from each of the 37 States, we will have a total of 185 Parliamentarians in Chamber. Then the 185 Parliamentarians Organize a thorough screening of their best brains on certain requirements like:

1. The True History of Nigeria, Africa, Planet Earth.
2. The Early Civilizations from Creation of EArth to the Present Day. The rise and fall of empires and the reasons.
3. Capitalism, Communism and the Merits and demerits
4. Economic Warfares, Military Warfare, Biological war and International diplomacy and trades.
5. Etc Etc Etc.

When the Parliamentarians conduct the screening live and figure the best 3 Parliamentarians, they will announce to all Nigerians that they have selected the best 3 parliamentarians that will contest for Presidency of the Country. Then Citizens can now vote for the best of the 3 based on how they understand the plans of Government.

At the moment, anyone just goes out a lies a lot and people just vote for them based on population and religious sentiments. It is wrong.

If we allow parliaments to nominate the best 3 candicates based on issues not religion and tribes, we will have a path way. Then if the elected person performs great in the next 4 years, the parliament will continue to support that person or nominate a new person. So the Power will be in the Parliament and we will a One Party System, so all political and policy differences should be trashed out in the Parliaments instead of having many political parties just insulting each other.

What I am explaining is a fusion of present day democracy but with the control of Presidential Candidate left for Parliement and Party.

A true one party state.

Often times I wonder why Africa was created?
We are just minus to the world as a people
You will see them blaming the West for everything, yet our leaders make the most terrible decisions.
Let them continue with the blame game while the rest of the world is advancing. Compare Putin`s dictatorship with that of African leaders and you`ll realize that we`re still a backward continent. While Putin is using Russia`s resources to develop the country our leaders are using ours to create poverty and inequality.

I think it's high time president Tinubu called one of his ECOWAS boys to order before Khaki boys keep him for house arrest. Greed na African leaders Botanical name
In case you don't know, it is the same people that installed Tinubu that is enabling the Togo man. It is all in the interest of one people and Tinubu can not bite the finger that fed him. If he tries it, he will not like where he will see himself.
