What's the difference between the Senate and firm of Representative? Politically inclined personnel in the house should assist me out hither cos from what I can observe from here is that they both perform the aforementioned role which doesn't make sense.. E.g Senate summons Jega today and Tomorrow you lot will hear again that House of Reps want to summon the INEC boss on the same issue.. please I need to be clarified here.. 29 Likes one Share

A very nice thread! The same quetion I've been trying to solve when I saw both Houses individually threatening to impeach the president. The nigerian constitution is modeled after the U.s. constitution and to my understanding of the U.s.a. constitution, only the lower house(business firm of rep) can impeach. This has fabricated me to start searching for the nigerian constitution. iii Likes ane Share

May i have your attending please. Nigeria runs what we call a " binocular bicameral legislator" In other words, the chore of ane legislative arm is handled by two. The reason is very unproblematic. The Senate reflects Equality of states 36 states produce three senators, FCT produces one. (36*3)+1=109senators with equal power The House of Reps reflects the equality of every denizen. In this case, every land is given rep mrmbers based on their actual population. Lagos has ane of the highest number of honourables (24), same as kano (24), and so bayelsa and nasarawa are the least with 5 seats each earlier FCT (ii seats). Just the total number of honourables is 360. The senate was created because almost states felt cheated based on the population thingy, so we decided to make all states take the equality in the senate. I hope you empathize? vicadex07: Wow...I always thought am the only one that doesn't know this curiouses: They have no distinct functions.

Cute explanation. This is what I like well-nigh nairaland before political jobbers took over. Intelligent responses to questions. I was among the folks canvassing for scrapping of one of the arms. But with this your superb caption, I have changed my mind. I remember it is meliorate we retain both. I like the explanation you used about Bayelsa and Kano. Bayelsa has lesser population than Kano but the same number of Senators. Just the firm of rep corrects this anomaly with Kano having more Reps than Bayelsa. Besides Bayelsa has already being compensated for this past having an equal number of senators with Kano. This is beautiful. 5 Likes
