And yet Dickson said no money

Prepare for 1/4 salary my people

Governors all over Nigeria are Hypocrites
well Imo 2019 Senator Samuel Anyanwu we know

Yet the effect of these monies are never seen or felt as an average individual can't survive well let alone families.Only the leadership top shots & their cronies benefit.One of our major problem as a country is the failure to call our leaders to accountability because of hero worship esp.by the change chanters.Zamfara & Bauchi State governors were indicted for corruption but all Buhari did was to give them a pat on the back.What a country & it leaders.

I have said it before, our States are glorified districts. They're not employment drivers, just a way to steal funds. They'll be claiming recession now as a way not to pay salaries.
I believe their powers should be capped and strengthen the LGA systems.

Akwa ibom feeding the nation

I think everyone should read this:

Still trying to figure out why some of these state governors are called excellencies...

Someone somewhere in all the states are struggling and dying of starvation.

na waoooo 4 una

Everyone still blame buhari


Why not this crooked Governors

Now, this is the reason they oppose true Federalism.

Kano getting the bulk.. Who their onions epp?
Bayelsa getting the least.. Perhaps a state that has been marshalling Nigeria's expenditure for years. Just visit Trovani Samabri et al, you will weep for Bayelsa. They share money to states; How the money was utilized, they care not because FG have gotten their share already.

True Federalism grants the state powers to manage their resources. As long as the FG has shares from the resources, then will they monitor the recovery of funds in the state. Also, indigenes that are not being looked after will know that their problems is from within, not far away Abuja.

Let Aresa keep spreading the word that there is no money, that's why the economy is bad. The sooner you accept the government is unprepared and confused by the behemoth of a problem before them, the quicker you return to reality

they looted d money as usual...

Listening to Katy Perry-Rise....d song dey blow me up dan 2 waste my time read dis long story!!!
O ye of so little faith,victory is in our veins!

Hmm

Their Governors will use the money to buy them weapons to kill and destroy their land, give them chicken change and loot the remaining...

Kano and Katsina receiving highest allocation for the sake of number of LGA. Can you see the annoyance of people down south? Contributing next to nothing but receiving lion share for the sake of bogus and rogue population figure. The call for true federalism and restructuring of Nigeria is long overdue.
You can have as much population you may want to have providing it is your headache to take care of them and not your neighbour who is prudent and conservative.
We have a system in Nigeria I describe as leeching and parasitic model where someone works and the other presides on its sharing formula taking the lion share.
No more research on why Nigeria is not moving forward.

Convert that figure to dollars based on 425 naira to a dollar make we know d real value of that moni

yes

Okay

Chai




Ajimobi.. . Na we dey number 3 o


And the monthly salary we owe pass 3 raise to the power of 3 month..

With huge amount of money a state like akwa ibom collected but yet still the are poorest state in nigeria

The difference between Buhari and other past LEADER Is honesty , open for everyone to see what is going on

they wont hold their state governors responsible 4 owing salary now...what av they been doing eith d allocations?because i am quite sure..that every month d federal government has been remitting their share of money 2 them.and some people would be shouting RESTRUCTURING up and down.when d governors csnt even pay salaries 2 workers and yet de point accusing fingers at d government at d center.i de laugh o...we neva start.until we realise that every stste governor should be held responsible 4 d mess we are in.

And some wicked Governors won't pay workers

clefstone:
Convert that figure to dollars based on 425 naira to a dollar make we know d real value of that moni

what has dollar got 2 do with our currency?is it dollar we are using in nigeria?how u de even reason?

Kano had the largest share. Children of hate with yEast infection, food is ready

GoldenJAT:
what has dollar got 2 do with our currency?is it dollar we are using in nigeria?how u de even reason?

we have to use a stable currency to understand the true value and compare with previous ones to help us understand if we r progressing, regressing or static. The naira is unstable right now, constantly losing it's value so 200bn naira today is like 100bn naira last year implying that those figures mentioned can be decietful to gullible ones, the ones they call zombie here

Still wonderin' why Adamawa state is still owing 6mnth primary sch salaries.... That kano need to be broken into two... That tooo much.. Meanwhile i no see my own share coz am a state too!

And most of these Criminals (oops Governors) can't pay their staffs. Diaris God

God help this country. We need to diversify as soon as possible before things get out of hand !!!!
