Senate Rejects Devolution Of Powers To States by nwakibie3(m): 2:19pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
The agitation for restructuring of the country has suffered a setback as the Nigerian Senate on Wednesday voted to reject a proposal to amend the 1999 Constitution to devolve more powers to the states. Using electronic voting, 48 of 95 Senators present voted against the proposal, which had been challenged on Tuesday by Adamu Aliero, who argued it should not stand without reviewing the revenue sharing formula to give more money to states. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/238195-breaking-senate-rejects-devolution-powers-states.html 2 Shares

It will be a democratic blunder to give more powers to our present day habitual and perpetual kletomaniacs in the name of governors, they are bunch of selfish, greedy, wicked and heartless set of people irrespective of their political affiliation, none of them has the interest of the masses at heart, so why giving them more powers when they have not justified the one given to them 44 Likes 3 Shares |

This is just what we are talking about. SMH Over to you bigot youths...begin your ethnic ranting. The earlier we understand that Nigerian ruling class are united against the masses, the better for us. These chaps of no dignity and sense of service, who do not in the slightest sense, comprehend the essence of leadership; who have no regard for leadership values and human dignity, are just trapped in the ebb of selfish aggrandizement and capital accumulation to the detriment of the good of the majority. Our future is at stake! The thieves at National Assembly, whether you like it or not have no regard whatsoever, for the plight of Nigerians, simply because they perpetuate themselves in power. They buy the offices they occupy and therefore, are answerable to their pockets and godfathers. This is why I strongly support the Movement by Nnamdi Kanu, which seemed to be gradually changing the political narratives in Nigeria and has challenged the statusquo. Every youth should join hands together to champion this revolution against the crop of looters we have as leaders. Had there been justice, equity and equality in Nigeria which are prerequisites for meaningful development, there would never be any noise about BIAFRA, NIGER DELTA MILITANCY, BOKO HARAM etc. Note, all these groups are youths. Nigeria as it stands, is ridden with injustices. Injustice of the rich against the poor, of the politically advantaged North against the politically disadvantaged South, of people with varying religious values. However, the more prevalent and domineering is that of CLASS. Ruling class against the ruled (MASSES). They are using every power, narrative, style and ideology to ensure we remain underdeveloped, subjected to them so they could continue to have their way. That is why they have taken government away from us. If not, how many of us know the name of their local govts chairmen? They don't want our political participation because they need no one to challenge them on the self-serving activities they engage in. Political apathy is what they want. Nigerian political system is WACKED, meant for the RICH. And, no one can change the STATUS QUO that favours him, unless forced to. This is why the YOUTHS must unite against these folks. If YOU CANT JOIN TO FIGHT, AT LEAST SUPPORT THOSE AT THE FORE-FRONT with some ENCOURAGEMENT. 206 Likes 24 Shares |

It will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a niddle than for a hausa/fulani hegemons allow a true restructuring of the country. A break up of the country sounds more sensible than patch patch arrangements that will never work for the benefit of the masses. 50 Likes 2 Shares |

Atiku2019: And you think it will happen? You have forgotten that the same APC that gave us a working handbook of Restructuring during their campaign and swore to begin its implementation once voted into power, it is the same APC that set up a Committee to DEFINE Restructuring! Much so, headed by a notable campaigner against the same Restructuring. Did you listen to Atiku Abubakar's narrative on Restructuring in the North West and the template he presented at University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu, South East? Well, if you did, you would notice a total change in narrative in the two fiercely divergent Geo-political zones. Why? because, the North West which controls the Country with its over-bloated population cannot accept the same Restructuring canvassed by the South East. By now, you should have known that the sound of political songs sang in Abuja, when one is in power is completely out of tune with the song the politicians sing out of power or when trying to get into power. The only reality in all this is that our politicians have common unifying factor, SELFISHNESS. Once the ensure their comfort, whatever remains can burn into flames. Nigerian Youths, WAKE UP! Before it will be too late to have our future secured. At least, since the history of this Civilian Dispensation, I haven't seen any election period when children of our so-called leaders went to vote in an election. They have secured the future of their next four generations, who understand Diaspora as their permanent abodes. Yet, they want to dry-up the little that remains of our own future, not to talk of our kids. 50 Likes 7 Shares |
