Some may argue, that the Presidential system of government with an Executive President, Cabinet of Ministers, Senate, House of Representatives, Executive Governors, Houses of Assembly, Commissioners, Advisers, and numerous aides is just too expensive for a developing nation like Nigeria.

They further argue that the high cost of running government with all its paraphernalia is a total waste.

Monies used to run such large government administration may have been applied to fixing our schools, building roads and maintaining our hospitals.

But some rather argue that large governments are productive, more people have jobs due to appointments, more mouths are fed, more politicians become millionaires and build more houses.

What's your opinion?
