The local government is a useless appendage of the all powerful Federal government who swallow all the resources by diverting money for development into fighting one vendetta or another.

Hmmm

The local goverment is an appendage of governance that we the local people have neglected and abandoned to look up to the Federal Goverment. And instead of fighting for local government democracy that is within our reach, many are content to have it stolen from us while we are too busy looking up to the very very far away Federal Government!

Its like people calling up to the heaven for manna while refusing to see what they can do with their own hands! We reap our just rewards!

If anything, local government in Nigeria did not enjoy independent status and power decentralisation as expected in a federal system. For this reasons, translating the theories to practice in the Nigerian local government had almost become a mirage; promoting democracy and effectively delivering local public services had, as well, not been realistic.

I don't understand your question. Clean it up a bit and I promise I'll try.

You were sounding like the local government could do anything on their own.

My question there is rhetorical, and is meant to show you how useless the local government is in Nigeria own federalism where the power of security control lies in the FG while the states and LG bear the brunt.

So what exactly is your "rhetorical question"?

Is my point not that the local goverment is useless because local people ignore it? Or do you expect local government to function without your local input?

You are putting it wrongly.

The local government is useless not because the locals ignored it but because the federal hijacked all its powers over security of lives and property. What is the use of trusting an unworkable system?

It might likely comes out in our exam, It is an Assignment

The Federal Goverment that can not hijack a state government is hijacking a local government that is beneath the state government?

Please where is your state? I ask because I have to admit that perhaps things are very different in your own state so much that Federal Government has hijacked your local government!

As for your question, "What is the use of trusting an unworkable system", I would ask if you know you are talking about a system that is very local to you, as in, the one you are personally and directly and locally responsible for, but which you are claiming is "useless not because the locals ignored it but because the federal hijacked all its powers".

Do let me know if the state in this thread is your own state and I might understand.

What I suspected, is that you will run round the whole points and refuse to tackle my points, and it's happening now.

What has what I am saying got to do with my state or local government if you're not trying to derail.

You point is pointless, Slap, and I've pointed that fact out to you and you very well know it which is why you are now up in a strop!

Local government is yourself, or rather, ourselves, and if local government is useless it us who is actually useless and we should consider becoming useful because our usefulness in local government is a usefulness to our local selves!
