Idokojimmy: In Nigeria today, the principle of individual responsibility the attends presidential system of Govt has been thrown to the wind, as the president takes responsibility for the actions and inactions of both the National assembly members and the Governors. Although the Governors and legislators have constitutional provisions that grant them funds ranging from Security vote, sitting allowance, constituency project allowance, severance, furniture, wardrobe allowance and so on, these people sit down in their various offices doing nothing, while exposing GEJ to severe criticism. If there is flood in your state, blame GEJ. If there is land disputes, it's GEJ, if there is no water(common water) GEJ is not working. What in your opinion are the roles of our state Governors and national assembly members? Have they performed up to expectation? Abeg make we reason o!

Idokojimmy:
You just misfired. The question is, what are the roles of Governors and Legislators in our democracy. Today, these people dont construct roads, or drainages again, flood everywhere, they have abandoned provision of healthcare facilities, no infracstructures in our schools, no pipeborne or borehole water etc. They all wait for the FG to provide everything for them, yet they collect allocation and allowances every month. Think again Bro before you misfire.

Insecurity: Hold states, local governments responsible – Shagaya

Demdem:

Bullshit. why should they be held responsible when they are not in charge of any security outfit whatsoever. ordinarily police, they dont. The one in charge should be held responsible not them. Thats a fact.

Jenams: ∂α† is why GEJ shud allow state police! Any state governor incapable of providin security or allow series of bombs go up, will loose his state τ̅o a military ruler for †ЂΞ remainin period/tenure. They all hide under †ЂΞ umbrella of insecurity as excuse for non perfomance ǰUsτ because FG controls †ЂΞ police. Criminals in state govt offices nations wide.

usmanyaro17: I thought we are talking about performance in all facets?i know you are looking for someone to blame.....but the truth of the matter is that our governors are to be blamed cos they are more closer to the people.

No one is saying that the governors are innocent. I am not saying that. However the governors are basically following the footsteps of the FG. Th biggest fraud in our country today is FG followed by the federating states and it will remain like that until the head is clean.

If my president feeds on 1 Billion naira for each financial year, why should it be wrong if each of the federating governors feeds on 500Million naira yearly

But u show me a governor that will feed on more than 20Million naira in a financial year if my presidents feeds on such amount. Its not possible.
The change we desire will come from the top and until the top realizes that it will start from them, we are just deceiving ourselves.
Most of the governors are frauds and its because the head itself is a fraud and thats why the head cant caution them.

next time before you post an article to support your claim ensure that you have a proper understanding of the issues at hand!
how can state governors and local government chairmen be blamed for the nations poor security when they don't even control an ordinary recruit?

my friend, because an article appears in the papers doesn't mean it is right or correct! haven't you been learning from the lecturer with p.hd in fisheries?

Since it hasnt been disprove yet, its a "NOTORIOUS FACT"

Demdem:

Which of them is speculation? Are u insinuating that the budgetary allocation for feeding in any of the government house in this country far over weigh that of the presidency? Abegii which state is that? Am interested in such a state.

Look, the governors are simply following the footsteps of the FG. The masses are helpless

Mallamabdul: The truth is that all the 36 state Governors put together has not achieved what GEJ has achieved so far.

Now this is what i will call mere speculations. On what basis? what criteria did u use?


In power sector alone, Jonathan has refurbished 10 power plants. 10 power stations are now working at a time. Which Governor apart from Akpabio has done a single power station since last year.

Thank God u said Refurbished but at what cost? Besides are u aware that by virtue of our present constitution Power is exclusively for FG? Why should states that are given crumbs with limited resources dabble into what isn't primarily their responsibility?

GEJ is handling 11 airport terminals at a time. Look at the railways are now back. Ilorin-Lagos have been revamped. Minna-Kaduna is back. Abuja metropolitan is seriously in progress.

Nobody is saying the Retardeen is idle. The same way all the governors will claim they arent idle but the issue at stake here is at what cost? Besides by virtue of our present resources accruable to this govt i still believe we are being cheated. We arent getting true value for money.


Which Governor has established a single university in His state since last year? GEJ has established 9 new federal universities and mobilised them with 2 billion each. Haba. Make we dey talk true sometiimes.

A state that already has a limited funded university and goes ahead to establish another is a foolish state. Establishment of universities can never be a yardstick to signify progress. How well funded are the existing ones. If the existing ones are no where to be found in world reckoning, why do we think the new ones will? To me, those new schools are a waste of resources. It would have been better channeling those funds to existing ones by increasing their individual capacities.

HammedSodiqq:
I laugh at your flagrant display of ignorance. When Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher said the state is an individual writ large, he was saying that it is from the minute that you can arrive at the whole. For instance, if there is peace in 774 LG Councils in Nigeria, it translate to Nigeria being a peaceful Nation in the world. Consequently, if the local and state Govt judiciously deliver on their mandate, the country would be a better place. The idea of looking up to the FG for everything diminishes that status of other tiers. Or should unitary system be introduced? Use your head
