NOW EFCC’s Ibrahim Magu and Customs and Excise’s Hameed Ali are added to the list of Executive matters going through unnecessary rough times at the legislature. I have written several times reprimanding the National Assembly for always making a mountain out of a mole hill.

MY article: “Who’s afraid of Ibrahim Magu”, published after the Senate’s first refusal to confirm the acting Chairman of the EFCC, is available on Vanguard’s website. Not much has changed. He is a thorn in the side of the guilty and all those who would watch every single Nigerian commit suicide out of anger, frustration and utter depression.

IT should have occurred to anyone watching him on television recently that very little is said of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki’s trial. Will it ever be concluded or do only the poor and defenceless deserve swift prosecution?

The story of the man who jumped off Third Mainland Bridge into the Lagos Lagoon is yet another terrifying example of the brevity and utter meaninglessness of life in Nigeria.

All persons elected to the legislature would thus be expected to have regular jobs and would only sit in the hallowed chambers of the national assembly on occasions that require legislative business. To describe this as a recommendation of seismic proportions would be an understatement.
