₦airaland Forum

Krasid: Too bad.I don't blame him though,since it will be hard to find another job in this country.But the wife and the children will be left to suffer what they did not know about.

1forall: What is the Nigerian Governor's Forum? Was it created by the constitution or is it a political party? How is it funded?

It is impossible to tell the real role of this NGF, or can someone please specifically tell me the mission of the NGF and how it stands to benefit the Nigerian electorate?

Isn't it just another ego-massaging political playground for bigman-ism and power wielding where state governors abandon their sworn responsibilities to engage in powershow spending our commonwealth, with absolutely no profit to Nigerians? Or what value have they added to Nigeria since they started this foolishness?

This is what happens when the main source of revenue for Nigerian states is the federal allocation. The states are not challenged to do anything serious for real revenue and these governors just collect oil money to do whatever they like. The idea of this immoral copy of the US National Governors Association cropped up a few years ago and sadly again, it looks as if over time, it has been accepted by us Nigerians.

The Nigerian Governors Forum is immoral and should be disbanded. Governors should focus on their jobs and develop their states.

AjanleKoko: Interesting viewpoint.
How do you 'improve' a people? I have always wondered.

Also, I don't think it's out of place to compare with others. After all, these are all the opinions of foreigners, who are judging us by their own set standards. Though I see your point, there is some behavior that is generally accepted as poor. Which is why I'd focus more on 1 and 2. If we improve individually on both, we can improve our general perception a lot better.
