Beautiful caption. This is what I like nigh nairaland before political jobbers took over. Intelligent responses to questions. I was among the folks canvassing for scrapping of one of the artillery. Only with this your superb explanation, I have changed my listen. I retrieve it is better we retain both. I like the explanation you used most Bayelsa and Kano. Bayelsa has lesser population than Kano but the same number of Senators. Only the house of rep corrects this anomaly with Kano having more than Reps than Bayelsa. Besides Bayelsa has already being compensated for this by having an equal number of senators with Kano. This is beautiful. 5 Likes
