Can't wait for the vote on vat

tommy589:
They should not stop at granting full autonomy to Local Government alone but let LG election be organized by FG or the LG. Create opportunity for independent candidates to contest too

Whazar:
Stop grandpas from contesting presidency you dumbasses

All I see here is changing of local government names lol we are not ready at all in this corntree

JosephXavier:
The most important things are not being discussed

Restructuring and implementation of true federalism

State policing is the way forward, how do you expect Adamu from Gombe to be the police commissioner in Ebonyi State where he doesn't know the language they speak and their culture

Death penalty for corrupt government officials that embezzle public funds

fergie001:

House has voted.....they didn't move it to exclusive legislative list.

KaluwisxPRO:


Let us be glad that they agreed on moving Eletricity, Railways, prison, Airports and VAT to concurrent list. States should start from there, let’s see what changes.

This is a Win for the common Nigerian

topoftheworld:

What does that mean? I need brief explanation abt it sir.

Kwestionair:
Useless constitution that is still wreaks of slavery from the British..

Nothing will change in Nigeria with this same useless constitution that is not people’s constitution

fergie001:
House of Representatives begin voting in the latest attempt at amending the 1999 Constitution. There are 68 proposed amendments which members are expected to vote on.

About 290 members are present.

That constitution should be amended

eldoradoxx:
A Bill For An Act to alter the provision of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 to allow States generate, transmit and distribute electricity in areas covered by the national grid; and for related matters.

Ayes 298
Nays 2

Ayes have it."

The above is the most fundamental and promising part of the constitution amendment that will help fix the power situation in Nigeria. Let the States have the powers to own or license private companies to generate, transmit and distribute electricity within the States and let this useless national grid phenomenon that has kept Nigeria a giant without electricity end. Commendable.

Toks2008:
No bill for resource control.

Eastlink ost=110661739:
Resource control will be much better if left in the hands of the community vis-a-vis the local government instead of the state. If VAT should go to the state government, the local government should be empowered to take charge of their resources and send certain agreed percentage in a sharing formula to the state and federal.

This will allow the local communities of (mines, agriculture, solid minerals, oil) develop evenly. And the money sent to the state and federal is provided as loans to develop the potentials of other communities lagging behind.
