Ok. if a state's allocation is N2 Billion and its wage bill is N2.6 Billion, should they spend all on paying salaries?

I want to tell you that almost 50% of that constitute salary of political office holders in that state. I know of a LG where the salary of 20 political office holders is more than the total sum of the working force in that LG. It's as bad as that.

Osakah24:
how do you justify 13 straight months without pay even if you are getting 50 percent?

There is actually no justification but not all states can emulate Lagos state,for years,Lagos survived without federal allocation...Some other states too have not paid for almost a year too,Osun state borrowed to pay for some months and is still owing about 6months now.it is not a news that the federal govt has failed.

SMH! Give them their allocations and stop ranting nonsense here. Even Fayose is owing salaries

from which money, groundnut abi excess yam reserve?

When they said they should priotize their salaries, mayb they didn't understand the english, everyone supporting the governors and blaming the FG, has just been scammed by these Governors, the person that u r blaming is paying is own salary up till date.
Me I can't just be fooled, shebi they are 22 APC Governors, and May 29th is just around the corner, I will see who they will blame, if they can't pay their salaries.
Abeg GEJ go and rest abeg, u have tried for these ungrateful citizens of urs. I know AU and UN won't allow u rest, because they will be giving u different appointment. Go and Enjoy ur life, u have tried, 16years serving ur people no be beans.

Otherwise show us where our constitution requires the 36 state governors to render account os usage of their allocation to the federal government aka the president.

My friend, get fact: there is no state that should not be able to pay the workers' salaries even if the mothly allocations from the federation account is to be recon with. The problem is priority setting.Also, where are the IGRs? We are supposed to be practising federalism for goodness sake!

I quite agree with you that we suppose to be practising federalism, but our federalism is not okay. I know that most of our govs live very flamboyant lifestyles,but my point is, dis present inability to pay salaries have gone beyond their capacity.It is a state with a booming business/industries that can collect reasonable IGR.I support bail out, because, if we can spend trillions of naira to bail out banks, when the banks debtors were known people in d society, den for d sake of d workers in those state,bail out should be considered by the incoming fed govt,if they have d financial capacity to do so.

sinizia:
Everyone knows this.. Only fools will buy the cheap lies that Aregberascal and his thieving co-traveller, Rochas, are peddling, blaming FG for the uncountable cash they've looted out of the state treasury, thereby rendering the masses in their states, jobless and useless.

They claim to have no money, yet they were squandering the state's money during the election. Did that money wasted during the election come from the stars? Rochas and AregbeRascal are bad liars and heartless thieves!!

that makes me wonder if Sullivan chime governor of Enugu state who pays his workers and corp members their money as at when due steals the money.
A thief is always a thief irrespective of the post he handles.

Go back and check for the meaning of IGR and how it can be generated. how does Anambra,Enugu,Edo kogi,nassarawa ,platuea etc generate theirs?

Anambra get ports nor listed as an oil state,infact anambra has no FG presence,yet their IGR is among the highest in nigeria,Anambra state salary structure is better and bigger than that of imo,yet they are paying. Rivers IGR is bigger than that of anambra yet they can't pay,

One simple question for u is,who is fooling who?

What is rochas doing to IMOlites?

If u can't take care of recurrent expenditures,I wonder how capital expenditures will see the daylight.


Implications of rochas actions

*corruption will breed so high. (If u can't pay salaries,civil servants can't go hungry,they will resort to taking all forms of bribe so as to survive).

*in the absence of capital expenditures,no investor will enter that state for any reason.

hmmm quite enlightening wot u jst dug up about those easten states but i hope u r aware that these revenues comes from tax generated from the bussiness bodies there n hence u know anambra is one of a kind wen it comes 2 spare parts biz n stuffs but u still failed 2 address d issues @ hand that the IGwhatever goes back 2 d federation...a state not frequenting on its labour force salaries has to ddo with the states affairs in as long as the budget is being disbursed but most times the govt priotize on wot comes first n offcoures their own cut of the cake...but u have 2 awware that most times its always the federal govt fault...u mite wanna go back to the tinubu era of lagos state where other states got their own budget in full but the oppossing party's state was being dening theirs,then u come to realize that the govt policies can be very trickish.....well ts gud 2 knw d incoming president is apc,so the conflict mite not be much this time

Your comments just portrays ignorance. This is democracy. There is separation of powers and there is a limit to power too. The federal government can't dictate to the state government. Even the checks and balance is a fraud because they are of the state's and mostly appointed by the governors or they benefit from the governors looting. Get some knowledge on how true democracy works. Even buhari has started understanding things now hence the multiple excuse everyday. From the time of Yaradua till now, no state government has been lawfully or unlawfully denied of their monthly allocation so why have they refused to pay? We want change abi? we have changed the federal govt who hasn't been owing the state government yet we haven't changed the state government that is the cause of poverty in the land. If every worker is payed their salary @ month end, people will plan their lives, there will be circulation of money. Just like the FG said, if the governors had prioritize payment of staff salaries then we won't be here. They didn't pay salary and they didn't develop so where is the money? What did the governors do with the excess crude oil fund that was disbursed for development? They looted it and are even owing. That's pathetic. I hope buhari probes all the past governors of the 36 states because that is where the cause of poverty lies but I wonder how he will achieve that since this is democracy and there is separation of power and a limit to power not a military junta.

You must be very naïve to think that GEJ is the problem and that once he leaves we will return to paradise. GEJ only made a bad situation worse by complicating issues in his govt when he allowed impunity.

Gej never knew his left from his right and was never prepared for leadership.
His govt going only brings a sense of relief to the nation that a spineless man who could not even control his wife is leaving our supposedly exalted office.

If a state was receiving 2B monthly from allocation received from the sale of crude and the the price drops and reduces the allocation to that state the issue is then beyond GEJ or the fed govt because the revenue that is shared has reduced, every state's allocation is reduced. The question is when the going was good and when they were receiving their dues as at when due and regularly, how many of them thought of improving their IGR by whatever means necessary within the constitution that we operate. This brings me to the constitution.

The present constitution and structure we operate makes it rather difficult for us to move forward as a nation. Am suure if we practiced true federalism most states will generate far more than the allocation they get from the FG every month, but our shortsightedness and greed of those in power will not let them see this.

if we took stock of what each state can potentially generate if left alone, we will find out about only 4-5 states may not be able to survive and as a nation we can assist those states.

They can't pay salaries, I laff in cantonese. Buhari will stabilise oil prices and it would be uhuru for all.
