But that 45 year old foolish vulture meat selling bbqgrillz still believes Buhari is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria since it's amalgamation in 1914.

We should stop wasting money on our so-called “LGAs” and instead adopt the Lagos LCDA model...

Almost every local government “election” in Nigeria results in the ruling party winning all seats...
Which means effectively wasting scarce funds on state election commissions and these dodgy “elections”.

Let’s simply have state-created LCDAs (and each state can have as many as it can sustain)...
Funded by the state governments (using the funds presently wasted on LG “elections” among others).

For local government administration, I think we should copy the US and UK model and merge LG's that make a city into one. Places like Lagos, Ibadan, Onitsha, Kano, PH, etc. should be governed by a mayor-council. For rural LGAs, I also think traditional rulers should have more of a say in governance, especially in the North where emirs/sultans still play an important role. Lastly, I believe that the NPF should be scrapped and replaced by Regional security outfits(eg Amotekun) and local/municipal police. I think these things would truly bring governance to the people and make local governance more effective

1. Citizens, once again, are responsible for electing the right people, and criticizing/removing them when needed. TO use my own LGA as an example, money that's supposed to be used for development is shared among the officials, and youths are busy hailing them and collecting their own.

2. LGAs need to be able to tax their residents to raise revenues. There needs to be a way for them to collect taxes on homes/land and on sales. In the US/UK/Japan, people pay taxes/levy on the value of their real property and a piece of sales tax to the county (LGA). State collects sales and some income tax. Federal collects the majority of income tax. This way every jurisdiction has some level of independence.

3. I know OBJ isn't talking, as if he wasn't one of those military administrators he's complaining about. angry

OBJ is always showing us how shameless an adult he is. The 1999 election that brought him to power was the same that brought all the 774 LGA Chairmen conducted by INEC. But once this old man gets into power he made sure that INEC never organize election for LGS again and this made the state Governors to turn LGAs to their second cashing point. He refused to pay all the LGAs in Lagos for years even when the Supreme Court judgement that order him to pay the allocation.
OBJ is the foundation of our problems since 1999. He introduced money bag legislature, used federal government agencies to witch-hunt his political enemies.
So the old man should keep shut.

You said it better than I could. He's really part of the problem.

fiscal federalism, in the US and UK, a combo of property taxes and government funds from state and federal govts are used to fund local governments. We can do the same here.

If only you had set a good record from scratch and you have execute all the military leaders when you assumed office (like what the guy in ghana did) we wouldn't have Buhari by now.

With autonomy, there is less incentive to loot funds for your local government. If you loot, you lose the means to build roads, police stations, schools, etc. The reason why looting is so common now is because of the belief that oil money will soon be given. No one works for their money, so it can be looted with ease. However, this is bound to change with the embrace of EVs, so soon people will have to work for funds. Once this happens, looting will no longer be feasible, cuz there wont be any sharing of funds to fall back on

SHUT UR DIRTY MOUTH..... OUT OF THE 774 LG IN NIGERIA, WHY IS LAGOS CASE TAKE DIFFERENT? IN 1999 LAGOS STATE GOVT CHOOSE TO CREATE ADDITIONAL MORE COUNCIL WITH THE HOPE TO GET MORE FUND FROM THE FG & OBJ ADVISED THE GOVERNOR TO RETURN TO STATUS QUO BUT HE REFUSED. FG THEN DECIDE NOT TO RELEASE FUND, IS THAT OBJ FAULT OR THE GOVERNOR?

With money being paid directly to the local government from the federal coffers, some of these thieving chairman make me wish the governors where still collecting the funds. The people are now seeing less of the dividends when it seems things should even get better. Power hungry chairman using the funds to buy houses, expensive cars, expensive life styles while the masses even suffer more. Look at Fuad Atanda chairman ikoyi/oblande in lagos, he grew up in obalande, his mom is still a tailor in obalande, people were happy when he became the chairman. But today people are suffering from his arrogance and style of governance, because he would rather try to rub shoulders with the rich he looked up too growing up than to elevate the poor he grew up with.
