The Nigerian House of Representatives has gone to hell

Oh, boy. Looks like another fight in the Nigerian legislature.

Two days in a row, isn’t it?

Via Vanguard:

Members of the House of Representatives have resumed sitting after sanity was restored following the rowdy session that greeted the selection of principal officers.
Recalled that the hallowed chamber of the House of Representatives was thrown into commotion as pro-All Progressives Congress lawmakers have kicked against the election of principal officers by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.
There were clashes between members loyal to Dogara and members loyal to the decision of the APC in nominating principal officers.
There were attempts by some lawmakers to hijack the mace. However, there are fears that the mace might be missing or kept away from the chamber during the fracas.
Pro-APC lawmakers were chanting ‘APC, party supremacy’ while Dogara loyalists chanted ‘Dogara’.

When GEJ said the thing about Nigerian politics being a “do or die” affair, nobody understood what he was talking about. This, right here, is a manifestation of all that.

Such a shame.
