What can a President do if the state Governors has sworn to the devil that they would loot both the State and Local Government funds at their disposal. Can Obi stop it. Just thinking aloud because I remember he Obi during his 8 years of Governor did not conduct a LG election. How does a president stop a Governor from appointing 1000 special assistants. In Yoruba language there is a saying “ apa kin se ole” which literally means a big spender is not a theif. Instead of buying a $10.00 shoe you choose to buy a $1000.00 shoe with state funds. Is that theft? Let us discuss 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Why not first discuss how Tinubu can solve the problem as a sitting President? Why is Obi the main character in every national discuss of late. Any President that knows his onions can drastically reduced corruption at the State levels but he that goes to equity MUST do so with clean hands. 6 Likes |

I am expecting the magic.The common wealth that belong to one million people is been held by an individual in this political dispensation. The current Government is a joke. What is it going to achieve in Four years that it's suppose to be there for Eight years. PROPAGANDA. 2 Likes |

Decentralize power/responsibilities. Let the local govt be in charge of collecting taxes. The fg/sg should hands off running schools/universities, hospitals, maintaining roads, security as much as possible. Anyone who is not okay with services can easily go to the local govt office to face the local govt chair instead of shouting tinubu from ariaria or idumota market. 1 Like |

psucc: State Governors are independently elected. There is no instrument for a sitting president to control the Governor. The problem with people like you is your obsession with the centre while closing your eyes to what your Governor does with his funds. At least OBJ during his time would bribe d state legislators to impeach the Governor. That was how Fayose was impeached. 1 Like 1 Share |

musiliyukayode: Which Government are talking off. Because as far as I am concerned there are 36 Governments in Nigeria and another 776 mini Governments. So which government is responsible for any pain in your life. |

Mvnster: I agree with you. FG should hands off FG Unity Schools, FG University all these should be under LG control. |

It's part of the culture ... In Africa . A continent with all the resources but lacks sound minds to use them to full potential. A continent with crab mentality, where if you innovate and create something that is helpful to the continent you will need to fight a flood of saboteurs on all levels . I would say it's a Nigerian problem but ... It's the same anywhere black are GLOBALLY 2 Likes |

KnowAll:Some of you just open mouth waah no research, no study.. I can't even google Just open mouth waah... Just because it sounds fashionable List the top 5 troubles facing nigeria now let's see how many is under the jurisdiction of the governor Is Insecurity governors work? How about inflation? How about unstable exchange rate Bad monetary policies? Oh general lack of production No body is complaining of roads, schools, hospitals right now those are the jobs of the governor 2 Likes |
Re: Nobody Can Heal Nigeria With The Amount Looted In The States & LG by KnowAll(m): 7:57am On May 28 |
MEEVEET: Only insecurity is the one that is not under a Governor purview. The rest is actually under d Governor’s purview since the states are the ones with the land. A serious Govenor should have hectares of farmlands criss crossing their states hence there would be plenty of food pushing down inflation. Once there is too much there would be enough to export thereby strengthen the Naira. Exchange wahala sorted. Production is down to state governments to provide enabling environment where private people can set shops and companies engaging in meaningful production. Production sorted, chikena!!! |

Governors do not steal money directly. They work with states accountant general and other civil service staff. If the previous governors were prosecuted, others coming will run away from corruption. We pretend to fight corruption but we're really not fighting corruption, just few political opponents KnowAll: |

Another thread to blame the 1 year of zero achievement by Tinubu on others ..Face it Tinubu has spent 365 days and has not improved a single point of Nigerian lives but rather has worsened it by 400 percent |
