It has nothing to do with Abuja! We can't say this is normal behavior from Nigerians governors. The bottom line is Osun for example started O Meals, which is giving kids a horrible god forsaken piece of Garri and soup EVERY SINGLE DAY for 365 years. Great program right? Fine, but they didn't think 'will this cost money' and 'how will i raise the funds'. Didn't they think to increase taxes or cut spending elsewhere? No. They borrowed.



Okorocha made 'education free' in Imo. Did he increase tax anywhere, or think of a way to raise the money? No. He just borrowed



Fashola has used all the increased tax to pay Tinubu.



all of these governors did these things not to advance their states but to promote their own person. These are all polices intended to deceive the poor that are no different from throwing rice on the floor and people praising you because they can pick it up and cook with it. No plan, nothing is being 'built', people aren't being taught how to sustain themselves, employment isn't created lives aren't advanced.



But look at Anambra with less allocation than all of them. They privatized education. They're #1 in education now and don't have to include education in their budget at all. They privatized health care. They're #1 in healthcare and don't have to include that in their budget at all. What's left is continuing to build their roads and aid their factories while lending money to these populist alcoholics that use state budgets like personal promotion funds with their babalawo economics.

What is this?
Surely the people, just like the government, also have a responsibility.

People will be shouting APC APC APC Yoruba Yoruba Yoruba while sloshing through this just to look for a job to feed their hopeless children. I'm an Igbo man and I hate what Rochas Okorocha is reducing Imo to. Under Sam Mbakwe, Imo build it's own airport with 0 federal assistance or money and local engineers and architects. Today we stand toe to toe with Osun and Zamafara to beg for money from a cattle rearer with no education!

IzonOwei:
preye its just high time these suckers stand up to their responsibilities as governors..they need to look beyond oil...in fact they all need to espouse and clamor for true federalism..they've all been running away from it because of the oil in the Niger delta..now oil price is plummeting they need to come to terms with each state managing its resources..lazy fools...

bornmekus:
Buhari will not do magic to bail them out.They should go back to their states and probe the former Governors.

dearpreye:


We're a lazy group of people. I only pity our people.

Let the oil price continue to plummet. Maybe it will force some animals to resume thinking.

Ikengawo:


is it a lie? what other igbo man do you see there. Did you know that Enugu makes it's citizens build their own projects and either aids them in building it or pays them after they themselves complete it. The cost of governance is the lowest in Nigeria and the IGR is now the 4th highest After Lagos, Ibom, Delta and Rivers.

This is with

1. No oil
2. Allocation as low as Osun
3. Federal neglect
4. Less industry that the top 4 states
5. (allegedly) less population
6. Low taxes



with low taxes Enugu raises the same money as Lagos that is killing people with tax. People will defend Lagos because they want to form 'I'm APC' and 'I'm Yoruba'. Meanwhile APC yoruba people are being robbed by Lastma and there are dead bodies lying untouched and untreated on various Lagos streets.

luvinhubby:

No sir, it is when WE rise up against them that THEY will rise up to their responsibilities.

IzonOwei:
maybe..just maybe...i found out something about our people and our country..we only act when situation is at sub zero..the Ebola case is a perfect example..the government and everybody acted accordingly because all lives were at stake...i think the oil price should fall to 20 dollars so that states can start looking for ways to harness there resources and move the nation forward..mumu too much for the country..we ve abandoned cocoa,coal,bauxite,tin,gold,fishing,agriculture etc all because of oil

dearpreye:


Harnessing those resources require critical thinking- something the average black person doesn't favour.

He does nothing to gain from oil. He just sits there and sleaze over the profits.

When u wait for government to spoon feed you, you have a problem. The OP said Fashola used Lagos taxes to pay Tinnubu, are u a comedian?. The street in the picture, when the people leaving on that street lack basic environmental sanitation techniques, that's what they get. Or u want to tell me its the government that put all those ddirts in the drainages. Or u think if govt clears it for. them, it won't happen again?

God bless you.

To bad any thing wwe turn around and blame the government how do contribute your quarter

francizy:


People who pay heavy taxes shouldn't be made to throw waste anywhere they see. Like 5 - 10 Huge waste containers should be kept at each streets (depending on the size of the street) with trucks sent in at least twice a week to empty such trash and people be made to pay for it in one way or the other.

Do that and let's see if you won't have a better Lagos state. Right now, Lagos state is a state indepted and selectively beautified with so many areas abandoned.

Any state in a foreign country receiving such huge money Lagos is receiving as allocation plus IGR, would have curbed this whole hold up issue in one way or the other, even if it means investing in light rail with overhead tracks or building roads overhead, any which way, they would have curbed it.

Let's keep blaming the people when it involves APC and blame the government when it involves the PDP.. O ma sé oh!

Freelancer00:
So they can't buy dustbins?. Lagos state has waste trucks that go to almost every street every week to collect waste, isn't that enough. Look at the amount oh dirts on that road, its abnormal. If those residents aren't dirty, no one is.

francizy:


Muhehehehehehehe, so now that it involves APC we shouldn't blame our government bah? When all of you were hipping all woes on Jona, una don forget?

Some people go shyt blood, na Oga Jona cause am,
Some go hit leg for stone, na Oga Jona oh,
Some way dey impotent go say chai, Jona don come again oh,
Some way their girlfriend/boyfriend cheat on them go say na Jona do this one,
Some way their husband beat for house go say, this must be Jona handwork,
Some way their wife dey nag like mad go still blam Jona,
Some of them go get bad dream, chai, Jona witchcraft don come again oh..

But now way na APC, you wan blame the citizens? Nahhhhh... It's APC woes, else, what will you say about the tax people pay? Or are the governors meant to use it to buy Brazilian hair and make up kits for their wives?

Mentcee:
Bad men. As soon as they receive the bail out cash, the South West ones will dash to render account of it to the thief referred to in my signature. That is the squint eyed odour mouth drug pusher. No 1 to rush is the fanatic refrigerator repairer at Oshogbo. Idiots.

woodcook:


The city where I live it is difficult to come across a street without a waste bin. Five days a week Monday through Friday city council cleaner go around the city picking up dirty they use the long metal grab to pick up any trashes on the sidewalks, roads and from crevices. While once a week waste disposal trucks comes around to pick up garbage from peoples home. Once a week a different disposal team comes to pick up cartoons and paper waste. Once a week different waste disposal company comes to carry away recyclable waste from homes.

Which means waste disposal trucks comes to every street three times a week: one for biodegradable, recycled plastics and paper-based waste. In addition to that the city council still go around picking litters off the street. That does not mean that people do not have bins at home.

Bros my point is it is the job of the government to ensure that waste are properly disposed. It is quite unfortunate that over the years our government have found ways to pass the buck of the blame to we citizens and due to sheer ignorance and blind allegiance we accepted it was our fault. It saddens me when I hear our government telling our youths that they should create jobs for themselves and stop waiting on government, my question to them is what is the point of having a government and paying taxes when by the end of the day the citizens are expected to manage their waste disposal, clean their streets, provide employment themselves, provide their own security and power as well.

sorry u got it wrong is it the government that put the rubbish dustbin in the gotter ask your self that. that y every one should check him self thats all
