seanet02: Exactly ! The LGAs have continued to be a drain pipe to waste 20% of the national budget! No single LGA ever embark on street building, gutter building or even building more elementary schools! It is all done by the state governments. So what do the LGAs do with the 20% federal allocation ? Except to share the money each month and wait for the next month's allocation to arrive and be shared. The op must be one of those councillors looting this nation thru the dysfunctional LGA system |

ChimaAdeoye: They are currently tied to the aprons of the state governors and most of them are not even elected. So if you have any query on performance by LGAs you should direct them to the over "oversight" supervisory governors, don't you think |

ChimaAdeoye:why would they embark on street building, gutter constructing and other you named when they dont have access to their fund, they are left to the whims and caprice of the governors. if you want to know how local govt are being run now then you should revert back to your community and ask the type of power the chairman have now..they are more useless than church rat |

beejaay: And that is why we should MOBILISE public opinion for this LGA autonomy amendment to pass. Then our LGAS can do what they are constitutionally RESPONSIBLE for instead of simply bootlicking the state governors. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

LG autonomy is misguided. States should have full legislative powers to create and regulate LGs. |

What really is LG autonomy, in the context of the constitution and concept of true federalism? What constitutional powers do the Federal legislative houses have over the administration of LGs? What the terms of this proposed autonomy: Is it go to Abuja to collect allocations from incomes not generated by the LGs or a right for the LGs to generate incomes and freely manage what they generate? The questions can be endless. But unless the national assembly take the parts that put legislations and supervision of LGs under state houses of assembly and government respectively from the constitution; and go the full hug and a unitary constitution for the country, this particular autonomy stand is contradiction and mere grandstanding.op This amendment will not be endorsed by any state assembly (mark my word). The NA ought to know they're just wasting time. LG autonomy campaigners are presently not seeking their own interest and not necessarily those of masses. |

Re: Lend Your Voice To Fight Gorvernors To Actualize Lg Autonomy by anonimi: 7:38pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
ProfCorruption: You forgot to add that the states should also NOT expect any federal allocation to their LGAs. That is FAIR, isn't it |
Re: Lend Your Voice To Fight Gorvernors To Actualize Lg Autonomy by Nobody: 8:32pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
anonimi: I have a question for you. Should Nigeria be a federal or a unitary state? |
Re: Lend Your Voice To Fight Gorvernors To Actualize Lg Autonomy by anonimi: 8:48pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
ProfCorruption: Federal, each federating unit collects its revenue and pays agreed CONTRIBUTION for federal activities. |
Re: Lend Your Voice To Fight Gorvernors To Actualize Lg Autonomy by Nobody: 8:57pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
anonimi: Great. Only that the idea of a federally guaranteed LG autonomy contradicts it. Or do you foresee LGs sending revenues to the federal government? |
Re: Lend Your Voice To Fight Gorvernors To Actualize Lg Autonomy by anonimi: 9:15pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
ProfCorruption: Depends on what the federating units are. If states federate into a country they decide how much of their own revenue to give the central government, while the LGAs also collect their own revenue from which a portion is paid to the state government. What is ILLOGICAL is for states to expect the FG to pay for their created LGAs. Na who wan be MUGU |

anonimi:I don't believe that. it is the Feds that recognise or declines the LGA created by state governments they will be funded directly from the national treasury. these theives are protesting because they will no longer be able to get so much awoof money any more. corruption fights back when you try to fight it these theives have no human sympathy. the level of corruption at state levels combined is bigger then any thing done at the federal level I support lg autonomy because I know my LGA chairman and his family, even if they cover themselves with kevlar we will still be able to get them and punnish them because we grew up together we see each other almost every day, we have access to them any time any day not how we do now that even a small pot hole we have to wait till the theif say okay do this. how on earth did they become united in a twinkle of an eye? because they are theives and want to continue stealing. 1 Like |

cocoduck: so on point....LG Chairmen dare not be corrupt as the governors, they will bear the brunt immediately from the community. If we want real democracy and development then LG autonomy should be encouraged and sustained. MOD please take this to the front page for better support and input from people.....seun pls we need this on frontpage |
