#LGAutonomy

Tinubu and Atiku siphoning Local government cash since 1800

Dem wan kill tinubu fast be dat . There would be real development in lagos per seconds to the amazement of Nigerians

I prefer regional autonomy thou. Then the the region can then devolute states and lg.

The way Lagos and Rivers state is,it will be difficult for their state house of assembly to support LG autonomy...These are states you can hardly differentiate between state projects and local government projects..The LG Chairmen of developed LG areas like Eti osa LG or Lagos island LG will see it as opportunity to loot after payment of salaries... Moreover,we need to be aware that the LCDA created by Lagos state government won't be recognized.

Please explain your proposal in greater detail. What's the difference between having autonomous states and regions? If you guys want regions why don't you guys just merge your state with the neighboring one? I'm guessing it's because you don't want to lose senators so you need everyone else to agree.

I have no problem with autonomous state which should also happen within a region. But regional is the real key.

Why do you you want states within regions? What is regionalism the key to?

Regional and States will work hand in hand.

If Lagos support autonomy for local government, how will Tinubu (original armed robber) find enough money left inside Lagos state treasury for him to steal?

Na wa for you oooo!
