dearpreye: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 |

Ermm ikengawo nwannem leave Yoruba and their states outta this, and let us face the criminal called rochas, I'm from Imo state and right now pensioners are being owed more than 6months.

luvinhubby:true..nigerians need to stop praising our politicians for doing nothing or achieving something mediocre...a governor visits a hospital by 2am and we see praise singers coming out to clap..a governor carries out one small project and we praise him..forgetting that that same governor would steal monies that could turn the state into dubai...talking about the word mumu is synonymous to talking about nigeria.... 1 Like |

IzonOwei: 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. |

Ikengawo: Jesus Christ! What tha heck is that. Well, all I can say is APC is working.. Let the mofos who voted for them protect them and insult us when we criticize them.. It's only a matter of time and this country will be plunged into the darkest pit of hell.. People like aresa the Tinubu foot soldier and APC camera man will come here now and blame the citizens but if it were a PDP state they will want to let hell loose on them. So much for "I want the best for my country". |

Though I feel the plight of civil servants who are being owed in the various states, I still think it would be ill to have a Federal bailout programme for the states in debt. Every state in Nigeria is endowed with enough resources to carter for the need of the indigenous and also migrant population but due to the lack of mismanagement, some state has lost its definition of being a state and wholly depend on the Federation account before they can carry out any meaningful project (that's if the Govt. of the state is well sighted). This is ill. We practice Federalism in this country which gives autonomy to every individual member of the state the to govern itself economically and otherwise, so why then would a state that has plunge itself into crisis be looking for a federal bailout (wish include every other healthy state)?. I think the federal govt. should come up with two option; *Either the federal govt. declare a state of emergency in the affected states and the govt. of the states resign or **The affected states emerge with a more prosperous neighbor. So as the punish them for putting more burden on the federal govt. and also serve other state govt. who might be looking up to these state and also eyeing the on-going bailout process would take note. |

The lowered Federal Allocation to States has impacted even the Federal Government, but I realize that most of these state governments are merely cash drains. Even the IGR are spent on their families and the financing of their lifestyles. Last week, 22 vehicles were recovered from 3 wives of the immediate past APC governor in one of the Northern states, here we can not recover whatever number of cars he bought for his numerous concubines, nor trace his bank accounts, yet the governor walks free. These are all Federal allocation sent to states but pocketed by individuals who happen to be governors and we fight and defend these governors because they are our tribes man, our religion member or our party affiliate. In the end, we go back to our poorly lit homes, and manage whatever soup was left yesterday without little hope for another day. We are doomed, and all man for himself until we re-engineer our thought process. We need structural mental adjustment as a people. 3 Likes |

bewla: 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! 2 Likes |

This is so sad! And the annoying thing is that they'll remain in power even after this gross misconduct. Some people here will even attack others for calling these thieves out. But the heart wrenching part of this whole stupidity is that Buhari has to bail them out because he is as guilty as they are. He should stop playing to the gallery already and bail these guys out, after all they were the ones that funded the his campaign. They're all birds of a feather. So for the sake of the masses and the sanity of Nigeria's democracy, just pay these guys and quit all this unnecessary drama. It's getting dumb and boring 2 Likes 1 Share |

Left for me, these governors owing, both PDP and APC, should use their dicks for ritual and then bail themselves out. All civil servants, its high time you leave these state government jobs and start ya own biz, no matter how small. We can always fall back to Agriculture so that they use only ghost workers in their states. Nonsense! 1 Like |

I still dont understand how The Federal Govt will handle this bail out request but If the Buhari led govt is sincere about fighting corruption then it should probe these states first because he who comes to equity they must come with clean hands! |

How can the FG bailout the states, when the FG itself is broke? The FG has been borrowing massively to pay salaries and meet other expenses. Painful as it is the current economic downturn is EXACTLY WHAT NIGERIA NEEDS. People need to be shaken out of their zombie like complacency and start to hold their leaders to account. On a Macro level only a massive and substantial reconstructing of the nation will arrest the current decline. The simple truth is that the current 36 state, almost 600 LGs, Federal structure is not fit for purpose, not viable and will eventually collapse. Nigeria needs to go back to regional model, with between 6 to 10 regions all responsible for the bulk of their financial affairs. The FG will only focus on defense, foriegn affairs Macro economic strategy. The other core responsibility of the FG would be mega infrastructure like high speed rail links, power generation, world class highways...etc. In such a model each region would then be FORCED to look inwards towards it's strengths and resources, just like in the First republic where we had the groundnut pyramids in the North, cocoa in the SW...etc. As long as we continue with this current 'rate collecting' model, then anytime we have oil shocks, the whole country will experience a downturn. BTW the G7 Nations have made a commitment to do away with fosil fuels by 2050 and China is actually ahead of the west in green technology, so in 35 years time, the oil will be basically worthless anyway, best to start implementing the reforms that will put us in a position for sustained growth regardless of the economics of the oil market. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
