House Of Thugs: A Case For Unicameral-ism
A legislative body divided into two branches is like a carriage drawn by one horse in front and one behind pulling in opposite direction." –Benjamin Franklin
I must start this short piece with a confession; one which I am ashamed to say. However, not saying it will hurt me more.
I do not know the name, background, or complete details of the person I voted to represent me in our legislative chambers – an act which I regret this day. I have learnt my lesson and trust me it’s not going to ever happen again.
With that said, I think it is time Nigerians, as a matter of urgency, started to focus on the kind of people they send to represent them at the legislature. This is important so we do not ever make the mistake of sending cretins, nuisances, and unashamed narcissists to represent us.
We were hoodwinked by law-making creeps who rode on President Buhari’s goodwill and now exist as a source of embarrassment.
When Nigeria should be focused on getting out of the doldrums she has found herself in due to pummelling from our leaders year after year, especially the last 6 years, some mutton-heads are trying to take us back with their narrow mindedness and selfishness.
The obloquy that we witnessed at the House of Representatives today just goes to show us that the lacuna between these guys, their ambitions, and the good of the people is quite large. This gap solidifies my call for a unicameral legislature.
Unicameral-ism is the system of having a legislature which has one house. It may interest you to know that half of the world’s sovereign States, including the Vatican, practice unicameral-ism. If this is the case, why can’t Nigeria have one as well? I mean why should we waste a massive percentage of our money on those who have no intention of doing what we have sent them to do in the first place.? Why in God’s good earth should we allow more people to milk us? For crying out loud these guys are mercilessly paid and when I say that I mean one of the highest paid legislators in the world, if not the best. Why feed 469 people (who do basically nothing) with what more than a million (or more) of us can live on when we can have far less carrying out exactly the same functions?
While there are so many important things that need to be sorted out, l we cannot afford to continue wasting our money on thugs who are bent on disgracing us
This is a system which will allows efficient lawmaking by making legislation less cumbersome and guaranteeing a simpler process. You are rest assured that there will be unity of purpose and less confusion concerning law making. Instead of having two houses whose impact we rarely feel, why don’t we just reduce it to one so we can have greater efficiency and transparency? With this, we can be guaranteed of some kind of accountability as there would be a few officials for us to monitor.
Because Nigeria is a big country with multiple chambers it allows for guaranteed representation of different ethnic and regional interests. While this is a fair argument, I have some questions. What have you gained from that person you voted to represent you over the years? Can you say with all honesty that you have always had fair representation? Do you even know your rep’s name? Are you ever allowed to contact him? Truth is, we've not really felt the impact of these guys apart from their spending of our collective wealth while doing absolutely nothing. So why keep them?
My two cents are that we have to start thinking of cutting costs (especially one which is of no interest to us) by adopting unicameral-ism. This way we can start channelling the tax payer’s money into what will benefit the ordinary man.

Nigeria Hand(s)over To ‘CHANGE’
As we await what will arguably go down as a significant
reference point in the history of Nigeria come 29th May 2015, it is
noteworthy to point out one word that stood out all through the turbulent,borderline violent and some
might say hate campaigns that were the order of the day for the better part of
one year leading to the not too recently concluded elections conducted in
Nigeria that will see power change hands from the 16 year rule of the ruling PDP party to the opposition APC. And that word is ‘SACROSANCT’!!! An adjective
(especially of a principle, place, or routine) regarded as too important or
valuable to be interfered with
Yep! Sacrosanct according to Google trends was the most
searched word in Nigeria in January 2015. Apparently a lot of Nigerians went in
search of the meaning of the word on Google inspired by President
Goodluck Jonathan’s speech where he emphasized in very clear terms I might add his
administration’s commitment to democracy and his willingness to handover should
he lose the elections. He reiterated that May 29 handover date is
sacrosanct. To quote President Jonathan;
“I emphasized to Secretary Kerry that I am deeply
committed to ensuring that our forthcoming election is free, fair and credible.
It is especially critical that all political
parties abide by the Abuja Accord, which commits each to non-violence before,
during and after the election.
I made it absolutely clear that the May 29th
handover date is SACROSANCT”.
No Chill in China for anyone revealing more than 2 centimetres of CLEAVAGE
No Illegal flashing in China ohhh!.
Organizers of Asia's largest digital entertainment expo -- where scantily clad models usually dress up as characters from comic books, movies and video games -- say they will levy a fine of $800 on women who reveal "more than two centimetres of cleavage."
Men are not exempt from the crackdown on exposed flesh.
They will face the same penalty if they wear low-hanging pants or expose their underwear. If models are caught dancing in cages or around a pole they will be fined a whopping $1,600, as will anyone caught striking vulgar poses.
It's the latest example of what appears to be a government campaign for stricter morality in China.
This year's Shanghai Auto Show banned "car babes" -- scantily clad models who in previous years had posed provocatively on car hoods to draw crowds.
And in December, government censors pulled a historical TV show off air for the ample cleavage it featured.
"The Empress of China" depicted the life of the only woman to rule China. Her reign was during the seventh century Tang dynasty -- when an ample female bosom was the prevailing aesthetic.
When the series returned to air, the cleavage was gone. Instead, viewers saw crudely edited scenes where women were only shown in close-up to avoid revealing their chests.
'We can't use vulgarity'
New Silk Road, one of China's biggest model agencies that said it provided showgirls to ChinaJoy and vetted other model agencies used by the show, confirmed the new regulations to CNN.
Yang Ou, a spokesperson for New Silk Road, said it set the rules.
"It's a formal exhibition. We can't use vulgarity to attract attention," he said. "We ought to offer 'positive energy' to the public."
It's wasn't clear who would be tasked with measuring the cleavage on display but Yang said more details would soon be released in an official notice.
While primarily a trade show, ChinaJoy is also known for its annual cosplay competition -- participants, either solo or in teams, emulate their favorite characters and are judged on their costumes, routine and the response they received from the audience.
Last year's event attracted a quarter of a million people over three days.
Tightening grip
Guo Weiqing, a professor of political science and public policy at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou told CNN that the crackdown on scantily clad models and actresses was linked to President Xi Jinping's tightening grip on the media, Internet and ideological issues.
Guo said that China didn't have the same set of unwritten conventions on what's acceptable in public that many Western countries have.
"There has never been a public discussion," he said. "As time passes, it all falls under the government policy, which is decided by the current leader's ideology."
In October last year, Xi addressed an delegation of actors, dancers and writers, making it clear that he believed "moral values" were more important than commercial success.
"Popularity should not necessitate vulgarity," Xi told them. "Pure sensual entertainment does not equate spiritual elation."
The ChinaJoy expo opens in Shanghai on July 30. It's not clear whether the skimpily dressed models the show is renowned for will cover up or simply disappear.
They may want to join the car babes, who protested their ban from the Shanghai Auto Show in April by pretending to be beggars in ripped clothing.
Their placards read: "We want to survive." Another lamented that all their efforts to lose weight were for nothing.
Wonder wetin them wan tell them Cossy and co for naija... your thoughts?
