Whatever needs to be done to reduce the money that goes to the centre should be urgently done. That includes the money that goes to the NASS which I know will not be possible because they are just having a ride on us. You keep hearing "we will soon" when it involves the masses but when it involves sharing money all you suddenly hear is "it has been shared" not we will soon share.

Regional system of governance is key and with that the functions and powers arrogated to the centre must be shed to the federating units. Let the regions decide how many counties or local govt areas will be required for administrative purposes and generate its funds from within its unit to cater for them. That is the way sane governments are run and no this idea of doling out funds on some trumped-up sharing formula. 4 Likes 1 Share |

donholy28: If u understand the US system of govt, u will realise that there are counties with mayors but that is the sole business of the states for administrative convenience. Washington is not concerned with that and does not dole out funds to the counties. Calling for the scrapping of LGAs is not so that they don't exist but rather make them strictly the business of the states and not have anything to do with federal allocations. 3 Likes |

The ONLY hope for a sustainable united Nigeria is true federalism. Let every region harness its resources/ potentials and grow at their paces. Enough of the free allocation from the center that has spurred widespread laziness across the land. Let governors work to generate funds for their electorate. Its time to engage active minds to attract investments to the various states even if it means lowering tax rates and providing incentives to investors. No governor will employ his kinsmen to govt when he knows the true challenge of generating the funds to run his state as no free allocation is coming at the end of the month. Governors will immediately prune down their size of government and all inefficiencies will be curtailed. Its time we mean business in this country and quit jamboree. No progressive country runs the current system of democracy. How exactly can a state that cannot generate 50million naira IGR get over a billion allocation? .... what exactly makes it a state? Let the unproductive states merge with their productive neighbours. Let the sustainability of individual state entities determine the number of states in the country. Why send more than a rep to the centre?, Let the regions determine how many reps they can afford their bills and take care of them.... and not paying from a federal pocket. Which organisation anywhere in the world would spend over 1 billion naira in salaries when it generates less than 50 million in revenue? Which democracy anywhere in the world runs this way? Nigeria is a big joke. Ethnocentrism as we know it today will be relegated as every region will be forced to bring its value to the fore. No more cursing out on other tribes when you know they are integral to the sustainability of your region through commerce and taxes. It takes governance close to the people, no need always pointing fingers to the FG and president when the governor or regional head is responsible. Its going to help end violence across the land cos no one actually steals or destroys his own property or that for which he is responsible. STOP THE FREE ALLOCATION MONEY. Its killing our potential. 10 Likes 4 Shares |

Much as I support a review of the system, someone should please tell those endless-recess-going-slobs their pay package is also awfully archaic. They should review it so they can be paid per sitting. |

Re: Existing Revenue Sharing Formula Archaic – Senate by Nobody: 4:41am On Aug 17, 2015 |
Not only is it archaic, but also wicked, treacherous, corruption-inducing, oppressive and a recipe for disaster, violence and underdevelopment. There's NOWHERE in the world where only an insulting 13% of a people's resources are given to them while the rest is shared to mainly feed other parasitic and lazy states and LGAs! No serious region should allow that in the first place, but the sons of Uthman Dan Fodio deployed the barrel of the gun to create and legalise such a lopsided, wicked system, with a demonic intent to hold onto the resources from other regions. Every region/state should be allowed to DECIDE how much it wants to contribute to the centre. That's the most appropriate way of governing a big and diverse nation like ours. Those who have contributed little or NOTHING must never be allowed to call the shots in this nation. The current system is a tool for underdevelopment. The North should convert their zeal for religion into Agriculture and witness a dramatic turn around. The Land Use Act, another wicked device by the sons of Uthman Dan Fodio must be expunged from the Constitution. If a Constitution seeks to prevent a people from developing, it should be scrapped and a better, people- Constitution, be in its place. The sons of Uthman Dan Fodio must not be allowed to drag back our growth and civilisation. I'm using this opportunity to call on Eastern brethren(there's NOTHING like South South) to wake up from their slumber and seek what's rightfully theirs. Where our leaders aren't sensible to adjust relevant sections of the Constitution to reflect equity, fairness and justice, Nigeria shall never escape from the inevitable. Anyone who devised a system that deliberately stunts the growth of a people is an enemy to the people. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results- Albert Einstein! In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth OR to step backback into safety-- Abraham Maslow! 5 Likes 1 Share |

disloman: Enough of the crumbs. Everyone should contribute to the centre OR give everyone the right to manage their resources. The current structure hasn't worked; it will NEVER work. No amount of pretense, prayer and fasting will see it work. |

Re: Existing Revenue Sharing Formula Archaic – Senate by Nobody: 5:09am On Aug 17, 2015 |
kenny987: Thank you! But do you really think THEY don't know? Those who devised the current primitive structure knew ab initio that it was going to work the way it is today; they knew it was going to breed ethnicity and violence; they knew it was going to breed underdevelopment, but they still went ahead with it. I'm talking about those wicked political generals from the Northern Oligarchy. But their schemes and devices shall be defeated very soon. Every region should be allowed to determine their own path of progress. If one region wasn't to get stuck in their religious frenzy, let it go ahead. If another wants to over at the speed of light, let it allowed to do so. Any nation that so hinders the progress of its inhabitants should be restructured OR its inhabitants should seek ways to be free from that experiment. |

Re: Existing Revenue Sharing Formula Archaic – Senate by Candyrain(m): 6:10am On Aug 17, 2015 |
Flets: The crop of governors we've been having and the ones we presently have are all lazy upstairs, so lazy to use their brain. For instance Osun State governor said the reason why he could pay salaries was becos of the fall in oil price which therefore reduced the federal allocation to the state. Can you imagine the rubbish being spewed by a lazy governor? Regional government must be upheld and this will make regions to be very mindful of who they vote in to lead them. |

To solve nigerias problem, we DONT NEED this senate. After giving each senator over 17milion naira each, what moral ryt do they have to review fedral, state or local govnt funds? If Buhari is working, The national assembly is just seeking relevance. The problm is nt the pecentage, but the governors and local govt chairmen. De are thiefs |

omenka: That has been suggested many times but they always say that they are working while they are not on sit. Payment per sitting would really go a long way to cut cost and also make NASS somehow unattractive for people to kill themselves over. |
