Nigeria should adopt a system that suits it.

It is high time we got rid of House of rep and Senate from our government. This will save cost in the running of the government and increase efficiency as duplications of functions will halt.

So who will make our laws? We will have a national assembly, the members will be from all states house of assemblies. They will only meet once in Abuja each year.
Any other crucial meeting and laws of national importance will be done online.

God bless you my brother how can their budget be more than that off education and there laws don't even stand. You have a better idea state lawmakers should take over there functions. They made flaud electoral laws that's why Obi and INEC are still in court 5 months after election, with all the huge funds of the federal they take home monthly.

Bros, roles are defined. The state houses of assembly formulate relevant laws for their various states.

Mind you, the executive has no statutory power to make laws. They only enforce laws that the legislature enacts. If they want to push for a new law, it must go through the parliament.

Besides, the national assembly has to be there to continually check the activities of the executive so they don't abuse their power.

In my opinion, what will work in Nigeria is having just one house, either house of reps or the senate. Afterwards, pay them per sitting or per bill they successively passed. That's the way to cut the cost of governance. Nobody will scrap an entire arm of government - it's not going to work.
