The Nigerian Legislative Maze

The maze is a very powerful tool in the Nigerian legislative process of law making. It signifies authority and power to convene a legislative sitting. It stands as a symbol and  also used in both the states and federal house of assemblies across the Federal Republic of Nigeria to facilitate the process of law making. This tool does not only enhance the law making process but also validates law making activities. If the maze is by any chance withdrawn, ceased or broken before,
on or after any law making exercise in the hallow chamber of the Nigerian national assembly then
such proceedings cannot  be seen as a valid sitting. Cases of kidnapped, stolen, ceased and broken maze have been witness in the past in some of the Nigerian law making house of assembly. The recent in our nation’s history of ceased maze is the recent mayhem that erupted at the Rivers state house of assembly which saw legislatures using the maze to club and beat their fellow colleague to pulp. Cases of fake maze have also been witness during legislative activities. Authentic and original  maze must be at the floor of the house for any sitting to be recognized.
