“When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer ‘Present’ or ‘Not Guilty’.” 

– Theodore Roosevelt

Couldn’t resist the temptation of posting this again.  

This is especially as it applies to the Nigerian senate! 

Anyway you turn it around many are usually absent pursuing their other personal interests and when present in the chamber busy battling to prove to the populace that they are not guilty! 

From year to year hardly sponsoring any bills nor contributing meaningfullyto any debate on the floor of the Senate.
