huptin:Does the Local Government not belong to the state? Don’t they share a joint account as mandated by the Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended), what right did The Federal Government (Obasanjo) have to withhold something that does not belong to you? State House of Assemblies are allowed to creates laws for their states, which is subject to Federal law, Federal Government has no business with Local Government money, that is the exclusive jurisdiction of the State, Obasanjo Abuse of power? Well the Supreme Court only reiterated my point. |

sevenhundred:There are no more than 5 million people in Abuja, the remainder 210 million people are scattered across the 36 states, 776 Local Governments, The Federal Government did not appoint the 36 Governors & 776 council men like it was done under the Military, now in our democrazy, power belongs to the people, the problem with most Nigerians is that they do not understand the system of Government they practice, since all they did was copy & paste their system of Government. |

Buckeyemedia1: I don't know which states and local governments are in charge of the security forces in Nigeria. Or any state or local government that has the duty of generating electricity to power businesses. But I'm open to learn new things. |

WibusJaga: The major problem of Nigeria is that entities with vastly opposing and opposite views and aspirations are lumped together under a unitary system camouflaged as a federal system. Try imagining Afghanistan and Australia being brought under the same country and government, and wonder how development will be possible in such a scenario. 2 Likes |

HedwigesMaduro:Ask your Governor to account for the security votes money he has collected in the last 6 years from The FAAC, & to show proof on what it was spent on, to the best of my knowledge energy generation is now private sector driven, Jonathan deregulated that sector on the 7th Day of November 2013? The only arm under FG is transmission which you & labor union have sworn to stop the Federal Government from deregulating. |

HedwigesMaduro:Eko Distribution & Benin Electric Distribution Company are different companies that serve different states, how many helicopters & drones has your state Governor bought with his security votes money since 2015, how many Local Vigilantes groups have they set up, & how much are they paid, Go and ask your Governor about how he spent your state security votes money, I am not the SSG. |

poiZon:Almijiri what of the Governor of your state, can’t he prosper you, is he not in a position to propel you to greater heights? What can The Federal Government in Abuja do for you, that your State can’t do for you? Hospital, Good Schools, create employment based on comparative advantage, electricity, communal security? NDDC that was meant to intervene & develop the Niger Delta, we are yet to see anything in 20 years. Yet people are shouting Buhari? |

HedwigesMaduro:Didn’t your Eastern Governors set up a Security Outfit & within 3 months came out to publicly exclaim that they do not have money to pay them, did any of you ask them about the security votes money they have gone to use to pay civil servants, & the remainder to there wives & girlfriends to go & hide overseas?

poiZon: You don't understand my gist. The system that throws up people like Jonathan and Buhari is faulty. Obasanjo had 8 solid years to help fashion a system that would stand the test of time, but no, he was selfish. It's not the person's, it's the system. That's why we say Nigeria can never work. Even if you bring an extraterrestrial being to come and help us, the system will defeat him. The unfortunate part is that, they system CA never be changed. The people who are empowered to change it are also the beneficiaries of the broken system. |

Lifeisgoody:. We should also start to kill Fulani people to reduce their population and equal the number of people they have been kill since. when you see a herdman, follow him and kill him even those in various govt institution. Once we are in tally with them, they will definitely come to their sense's. Deterrent is not actually a bad thing but a strong measure in sending home our demand or position on a situation |

sevenhundred: And does it look like Nigeria is progressing to you? Every successive government since 1999 has been abysmal. That's why Nigerians look back and praise the previous government. Mark my words, if there's an election in 2023, after a few years into 2023, Nigerians will begin to miss Buhari's administration. It's not a curse. It's a statement of fact. As terrible as Jonathan's era was, you see people today talking about Jonathan as if he was an outstanding leader. During Jonathan's period, people looked back and praised Obasanjo, that he was firm and Boko Haram would never have seen the light of day. People were even blaming themselves for not allowing Obasanjo to pursue his third term agenda. During that same Obasanjo's time, there were people who looked back with nostalgia at Abacha's time. So, the next administration will be worse than Buhari's own. Take that to the bank. Nigerians have a very very short memory. 1 Like 1 Share |

Buckeyemedia1: I have stated the fact as it is, you are free to take sides but according to the supreme both parties are wrong. I personally do not think increasing over heads in any way is a good strategy, since the states have now been in charge of the local governments how effective have they become? Is 20 effective and strong local government areas not better than 57 almost osteosarcoma |

Buckeyemedia1: I have stated the facts as it is, you are now free to take sides. 1. The supreme court declared that both parties were wrong Local government Areas can only be created after been approved by the national assembly according to the constituition, if APC does not like this, well the party is in power now they can either amend that portion or approve the 37 Local government Areas but since they have not done so in 6 years i believe that the party agrees 100% with the constituition on that. 2. When the local governments were created initially, the plan was to make them independent of the state governmets but that has changed because the state governors insisted otherwise, Obasanjo wanted the Local government Areas to be independent and tried to force it and even Buhari in his last interview clearly stated the same thing, he clearly favoured it, according to him State governments wants more autonomy but are insisting on not giving the local government the same autonomy they are asking for, like i said you are free to have your own opinion on this, everybody does. 3. I personally do not believe in creating more recurrent expenditure in the name of local goverments, states or ministries, i believe a nation like Nigeria can do with less state Governors, less local Government chairmen and less Ministers. More Money shoud go to capital projects. 20 strong and virile local governments is better than 57 almost comatose ones 4. Finally the myth that Lagos state allocation was withheld has stayed for too long, no matter how many times you parrot it, it is wrong. Lagos State allocation is different from Local Government allocation and it has never been withheld. |
