BALLOSKI:
Sometimes, I feel we're victims of bad leadership, but I also feel we're victims of bad folllowership too. If not, what would cause you to give this skewed reasoning?


You have seen how these SIECs in the state write results without election and give the chairmanship seats to the ruling party in the state, you want that nonsense to continue. At least, with INEC, opposition parties win elections, where have you seen opposition party win an election in state-conducted elections?

Why are we blind to our problems and solution? State-capture...yen yen... Using term because you hear people using it.

We can't be victims of our own laws. Federalism my foot. Pick what works for your system and tweak the federalism to fit it. When the federal government conducted the LGs elections in the past, how many states did it capture via that?


I can't believe any sensible human would still support the state to conduct LGs elections despite the abuse of the process they're known for.

If you believe the state should continue, you're an enemy of development. You know they won't do the right thing.

If you really want financial autonomy for the LGs, you must give them the power to choose their chairmen -those who live with them, not those handpicked by the governors. That's devolution of power.
In fact, the governors don't deserve the state police.






He's probably a relative to one of those criminals parading themselves as Governors who want the country to remain as it is.

How is the Federal agency going to be different from SIECs ?! I believe the senate is simply looking for a place or agency to bring in those that may lose their jobs when INEC takes over , hence the move. Alternatively , they will never be independent

Zooposki:


Police should be under LGA and they can donate some of their members to the state.
That's another angle to look at it from. I know how vigilante people run by my LG stopped kidnappings and cultism in my LG.

flawed thinking. Is the NASS 100% one party? Is Nigeria a one party state?

Just imagine the thinking. We're terrible as a people. How can we see a wrong system and support it to fester?

Your have just spewed thrash. Where in my reply did i mention political party ?! All Politics is local and territorial and everyone is trying to cling unto something...suppose they use LGAs vis-a-vis the Federal Agency , who and who nominates, appoint or employ workers into the LGAs !? In order word , we are back to square one .
