Nigerian government seems to have reached a whole new peak o
f embarrassment. When you hear Nigeria being mentioned on international news network, it is likely to be some sort of negative news. And that's exactly what it was, embarrassing news.A fight broke out during a session after some members of the parliament were suspended. The suspended members accused the speaker, Oladimeji Bankole, of corruption. The allegation was that he misappropriated 9 billion Naira of an 11 billion budget from 2008 to 2009. The 11 suspended, claim to be members of a group called "The Progressives". The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has decided to carry out an investigation into the allegations.
Those familiar with Nigerian politics are probably not too surprised. This is a country that has some form of corruption embedded into every level of the government. For grown men and women to throw punches instead of resolving issues with in a civilized manner goes to show that these politicians care very little for their country.
Now the EFCC, who is supposed to be the national anti corruption agency, knew nothing about misappropriation of 9 billion Naira....wow how is that possible?

This is so embarrassing! As a Nigerian, I feel so ashamed to watch this video.
May God save and help my dear country Nigeria.
For those who have never been to Nigeria, believe me there is more to Nigeria than this.
I really do not understand, can we as a people not change. Just look at them, you would think they were a bunch of children.
