luthorcorp: Very true but from the time of Yaradua to this time, no state has been denied monthly allocation till date. What did the governors do with the excess crude oil account that was disbursed a couple of years back? They looted them yet today most of them are complaining about the cut in allocation. When the allocation was in surplus, they were owing yet they didn't develop their states. So who is fooling who. I wish 70% of Nigerians could be @ breast with the happening in the government and politics then there would have been hope for my beloved Nigeria. Bad education is worse than illiteracy. 2 Likes |

They simply used the money to campaign for buhari and themselves end of story, or where else do you think they got the kind of money they used for campaign. 1 Like |

Segunod: I think each state should be putting more effort into generating income on their own. However, I seriously don't get the 50% drop in FG revenue part. They have stolen all the money. Oil prices have been increasing for 2 months now, that aside, people were paid salaries even when oil was $30-$45 during OBJ's tenure. When did we start selling oil for $100+ that we now think it is a given for oil to be sold at $100+? At N199 to $1 (CBN), given that the gov't earns a large chunk of it's income in dollars, the gov't is still better placed than the average salary earner that bears the brunt. |

luthorcorp: Quite enlightening. I must say, 13 months ago. Includes 2013 nd 2014 fiscal budget years(2yrs budget dully implemented and funded) On which platform was rochas elected?(Apga same as anambra)if I am correct Was he having any itch with the center in 2013? Even if he was marginalized,certainly not in 2013. IGR of every state goes back to FG( was not aware of that) Which means anambra state also remit to FG. If all states IGR goes back to FG, imo states and anambra states inclusive, How come Anambra could pay and imo couldn't? Anambra carved a niche for themselves,they knew that the allocation from FG will not be enough and they started working hard to make up for the deficit. What did rochas do? He came in and decleared free education, if he had done his feasibility studies on assumption to office he wouldn't ve been in this whole pool of shiiit. I believe u re enlightened, and as such u knew that 2013 fiscal budget year ended around april 2014 and that of 2014 is around april this year as well. If u calculate very well u will see that he was never in bad terms with FG when he started the owing, Thus. I put it that rochas was never a victim of marginalisation, he was totally incompetent. I love ur broad skill of intelligence my brother, we are all learning, if their is any fact I didn't get correct,please endeavor to call me to order. #my2cents. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

luthorcorp: Guy, reason before you comment please, states generate revenues that locally through the various state internal revenue services and also through firms mandated to collect taxes on it's behalf. Revenues could be generated from : 1) agriculture 2) state owned institutions 3) state owned transport firms 4) taxes from businesses / companies 5) state owned estates 6) state owned hospitals 7) state owned companies among others. Lagos State survived without allocation from FG during Tinubu's reign. Thanks 2 Likes |

nortcentrallord:from ur post bro it seems u comend ther federal govt 4 properly disbursing their midnite budgets but wot i dont get is wether u r actually blaming the states 4 not properly remiting the little remnants from the nnpc scamed cash or otherwise.i'm not @ any side here but one tin i am sure of is that these govt dont just name a price to the govt,jst like a market woman going to the market they list out wot they intend to spend their allocations on and in more cases than one,the govt nomarly do scale of preferences on them to scrap of their xcesses....in a nutshell all d govt officials,down to the mayor are all scams,even till they leave their seats,their good intentions is up for grabs.... |

chigoizie7:broda i know u are knee bent on critisizing rocha but i suggest u dont compare anambra to imo even though they are both eastern,anambra is a big cog in the nigeria bussiness machine and if i'm not mistaking,almost 40% iof the spare parts ship to nigeria are moves made by anambra,inewi to be precise.so the can afford to manage their internal affairs even with the razzled cash by their agberoes there compare to little states filled with hotels and a few truckloads of cash crops that could barely substain them... You are damn right rochas shouldnt have implemented the free education thingy,its now a bone of contention on his adam's apple but ofcoure this is naija,to win an election you must promise to build a bridge to heavy lest you be tought less realistic.....believe it even when the so called sai baba comes in,it might be difficult for his to even fit in with his ivy leagues of over archieving past leaders...... |

chigoizie7: please stop adding Fayose to them,he owes only April salary and he is paying before the end of the week. Fayose is different,he prefers owing political appointees than to owe workers. That is one of the reasons Ekiti people are crazy about him. |

Jossyroyal1: you can all keep blaming the FG for state failures and gross incompetence. How can federal government ask for state accounts where the state is autonomous in everything. the even have have the law enabling body. The governors are not accountable to the president and there is no where in any federal institution that does that except through the courts. State governments generate funds also. what are the funds used for. there is no excuse for shifting blames. there have been spending, executing projects and campaigning and all sorts. If provision can be made for such, I wonder why salaries can't be priotized. if we keep blaming the PDP, then APC will keep having excuse for everything as they will keep saying this was done by the PDP government and thus people shouldn't expect magic. |
Re: FG Not Responsible For Failure Of States To Pay Salaries by megacity: 11:44am On May 07, 2015 |
An efficient state govt should be able to generate enough IGR to pay workers and use federal allocation for developmental projects. If the workers cant generate enough revenues to pay their salaries, sack some of them! This is common sense and better than having to owe everybody for 13 months. Being owed for 13 months is as good as not having a job any way. I no even understand these workers sef; if you owe me for 2 months, I don waka o 1 Like |

luthorcorp: Noo, u are getting it all wrong. Yes I am criticizing rochas(I hate his guts, so hypocritical). What of osun, ebonyi,and soo on, are their IGR as big as that of anambra? No, but, hey. They. Were able to put their various homes in order,all rochas was doing was running up and down,looking for what FG did to him nd what dey ddnt do to him. An igbo adage says "onye ulo ya n'agba oku,adiro achu nta oke" (he,who house is on fire does not go rat hunting). Remove that log from ur own eye b4 looking for whom u will remove theirs. His house is in disarray ,yet he is bent on criticizing FG(I m not of the fact that FG aint corrupt oooh,No) but charity begins @home. So,my brother,u re very correct,I hate rochas,not just as a human, but because of his hypocritical nature. I hate hypocrites, they are very disgusting. 1 Like 1 Share |

luthorcorp: Oga, I am not in support of any one but it disgusts me when people just use propaganda to hide their own mischief. He who comes to equity should come with clean hands. About the excess crude oil money that was disbursed, I have a very good information on that. I have friend who works in an office in a state and his position gives him opportunity to see a lot of files and documents. I could not believe how much was given out to even local governments then not to talk of what the state will get yet the chairmen did nothing. The story is the same everywhere. My question is, has any state ever complained since the time of Yaradua that the FG is owing them their monthly allocation? Look let me intimate you, the money that gets to the state government is more than enough to pay salaries and carry out developments. I know what I am saying. I know perfectly well. It is the attitude of politicians that is causing all this nonsence. Last time there was a casin in one state. I think that should be kogi state where the local government Chairmen were contributing 20 million each every month and some of these bloch head chairmen were owing their staffs for as much as 2-3 years. The months they try to pay, they just pay 10%, sometimes 20% and in good month 40%. What the hell is that! No development, no salary yet some are driving range rover sport. Look, when the fault is that of the federal govt. Let's say and when the fault is from the state govt, let's say it without being biased. I just hate the blame game. |

Badosqi: How much is Ogun state allocation from the federal government? How much is their salary structure? What is their IGR? How much is their over bloated governor, chairman and political office holders expenditure? Until you get these facts, then you can't make a judgment because one governor somewhere said something. What if we were running a fiscal federalism or true federalism? Will they resign and say they wont be governors anymore? Everybody wants to be governor just to loot and not to solve problems. Thank God oil has dropped and will keep dropping because of more discoveries in other nations and alternative to fuel research. Let's see how mouth watering the position of governors will now be for hollow headed idiots. |

luthorcorp: Were u not the same fellow that said all IGR goes back to FG? If all Anambra IGR could go to FG, then what are they working with?
