If the prisoner should be profiled according to state and then take responsibility in feeding them or send them feeding allowance, state like Anambra may go bankrupt.

have u ever checked the revenue sharing formula? Why is there so much power and resources at the centre? The resources are so much that a person can afford to steal one hundred billion naira which is more than the budget of some states in Nigeria. The level of mismanagement and thievery at the centre is too much, the federal govt is transferring their responsibilities to states because it feels it has less resources, which is obviously false.

The states are actually in a better position to feed the prisoners. When this happens, non indigenes who commit crimes in other states can be convicted and deportedly shipped to their own states to serve their sentences. You can not abandon your job as parents and think other states should keep feeding your wayward children by other states.

Blue3k:


How is it wickedness if prisons are in the concurrent list and 90% of inmates are state law offenders? If you want states to have more taxing powers that fair.

TheOgaBoss:
but revenue sources that should ordinarily belong to the state has been cornered by the federal govt, so where will the states get the money from?

thedio:

They should be taken to farm to grow their food.....they committed crime and their punishment should not be limited to confinement and eating of free food from our tax payers money They should also work to feed not only themselves but also law abiden citizens.

Furthermore, by January 1, 2024, the Federal Government will stop feeding state inmates kept in federal facilities. State governments must now start budgeting for feeding their inmates in federal facilities while we wait for them to build their own facilities

Time to shed some weights.

The Nigerian federal government is carrying too much load than it can bear. Imagine a institutionally weak government carry 66 items on the exclusive list.

Not even the US federal government Carrie’s such yeye loads. This is what make our presidents dictatorial, authoritative and territorial.

CodeTemplar:


Does the US federal arm control resources and reshare states resources according who dominates the FG?
You argument is clearly flawed and gives you as a regular attack dog and party agent who supports anything the govt does under your favorite party.

America has a robust federal system that's far more reasonable and balanced unlike ours
where there are ministries for resource of the minorities but non resource specific ministries for other major regions. The FG isn't doing enough considering they have the lion share of the money in the system.
