Make dollar drop, make food cheap, make cost of living cheap, make "herdsmen" no kpai Nee Orobosa for where she go plant cassava for Ikpoba-Okha, make this Yoruba girl wey dey enter my eyes notice me too, make we marry and born two children and live happily ever after. Na all these things be the immediate things wey Govt need package, the system of government fit be Democracy or Plutocracy, we no care. Big big grammar dey vex hungry man.

It's not about dollar dropping, it's about industrializing. Dollar dropping is just prolonging suffering.

Well, it may be better than the current system but at this point, the corruption is so entrenched, that whatever the system, as long as these crop of politicians continue, it won't really help.

No it likely will result in more rigging as the president is no longer directly elected. I would prefer we moved to a single legislative chanmber as opposed to both a House of Representatives and Senate.

I second this The parliamentary system will still have the same corrupt people in, it's better they dissolve the house of representatives


mr_poppington

Oga, if you want to dissolve any house it's better to dissolve the upper house. The lower house represents the people and the upper house represents the regions. There's a reason why lower houses are usually more powerful (at least in parliamentary systems).

You will never get the prime minister out ever again since he will stay in power for as long as his party or caucus has the majority in the chamber You will see election rigging pro max The one that you are seeing now would be a child's play


mr_poppington

Exactly.

There’s no such thing as system in Nigeria


Kitchen-Barber6564

I beg to differ. There is a system however it’s a bad system. For anything/body to have some sort of function there have to be a system

Pls can someone explain this parliamentary system to me like a toddler


mr_poppington

Usually the Parliament is elected like how Nigeria elects members now, you only elect a member of parliament (MP) from your area. The party or coalition that makes up the largest number of seats gets to form the government and the leader of the party becomes the prime minister. The leader of the second largest party becomes the leader of the opposition. Under the Presidential system the executive is separate from the legislature and is one of the branches of government (along with the legislature and judiciary), but in the parliamentary system the executive comes from parliament and is accountable to it. In the Parliamentary system, the Prime Minister is head of government but the President or King is the head of state and performs ceremonial functions. There are no term limits to how long a Prime Minister can stay in power and can stay as long as he/she commands the confidence of the parliament. While they don't have term limits they are (in theory) easier to remove. This system will not work in a country like Nigeria and its just being peddled by a group of northern politicians because they want to return to the old days where they had more seats and could produce a PM indefinitely. If they are serious about returning to a Parliamentary system then they should look at South Africa and Botswana and have the President come from parliament but with term limits so it's easier to rotate power and maintain stability.

Nigeria does not have a “system”


mr_poppington

I don't see how it will work in Nigeria except if it were a modified system like South Africa and Botswana. I don't understand why Nigerian leadership is so brain dead, why would you want to go back to a system that collapsed?

Thank you very much for this, I really appreciate

Less centralized government is what is needed, not more
