This is true. Rural dwellers have suffered too much in the hands of politicians. Their only crime is that they refused to migrate to urban centres.

All those above supporting the FG's stance should know this has been the default mode of successive FG govts since 1999. Blame the states when anything goes wrong even in matters the states have no wherewithal.
Over half of the nation's revenue allocation goes to FG. 100% foreign reserve, ECA, NLNG dividends etc yet the FG blames states who collect pittance compared to it for things going wrong and hallelujah boys come to prove to us why states rather than FG should be held responsible.
Poverty is truly a weapon the rich use to control the poor.

ican2020:

shut up and use your brain

GCFRin2034:


You need to ask for a refund from your school Cos your education was either incomplete or you’re a typical product of the very education system you said the FG has no control over .

You need to be re-schooled on macro and micro economics, the policies, their causes and effects, the chain reaction , who’s responsible for what . And how it applies differently between countries in the north and south.

Start from secondary school.
And don’t bother replying this message cos I won’t read it.

jaxxy:


and the FG is responsible for what??

Where was this energy when Jonathan/pdp was there?

so u don't know what the FG does affects the state because they hold most of the power?? most of the problems we have generally are not caused by the state. incompetent clowns.

Quintopia:


Look at this airhead talking about macro economics.

If they ask you to define it now, you will start stammering.

The state govts are not doing enough. END OF STORY.

You don't see Lagos or Ogun state govts depending on the federal purse for every project. Only the EAST does that, because your leaders are lazy, greedy, imbecilic and corrupt.

And they know you, their people, are so dumb, stupid, and tribalistic that you will blame the federal govt, 'fulani', and 'Nigeria' for the wretched conditions of your states.

YOU NEED TO LEARN FROM LAGOS, PUT YOUR PEOPLE FIRST INSTEAD OF STEALING, AND STFU.

NNPC is set to review pump price of PMS to N400 a litre.

Quintopia:


LIAR. When did the FG make that claim?

domination:
What APC cannot blame does not exist

BigBashiru:


even security too... then in anambra, peter obi created vigilante groups - one was called "Bakassi Boys" which can check mate kidnapping in a state. Some State Governors are sleeping.

jaxxy:
Then why did we blame Jonathan/pdp for the bad economy and poverty then?

Apc is ment

The states are not responsible for the dollars rate,

The state are not responsible for inflation.

THE state arent responsible for the bad security situation that has left farmers with no jobs cos of bandits and herdsmen.

The state aren't responsible for the redundant policies, corruption and mismanagement of funds by the FG.

The state aren't responsible for oil theft, depleted foreign reserves, atrociousdebts and economic failure.

alfredfrddy:
Then let the states totally manage their resources and not the FG managing and giving peanuts to the states all in the name of monthly allocation. Iranu

grandstar:


Well said. Though the statea have some faults, it is bizarre that the FG cant see the iroko tree lodged in its eye but can clearly see those in the eyes of the states

Quintopia:


The insecurity in your region is your fault. Go and talk to your unknown gunmen and ESN/IPOB thugs.

They burnt down police stations and killed law enforcement officers there, as oafs like you cheered them on, so who are you now blaming for insecurity?

The thread is about rising poverty in the states.

You must be benefiting from the theft of your state funds.

Instead of hating Buhari, why don't you 11 million Igbos leave the north, and 10 million of you leave the west and go home and develop your South-East economy the way others are doing theirs?

Is Lagos not in this same Nigeria?

The other day I heard they've found investment partners to build the 4th mainland bridge for 2.5 billion dollars.

Why couldn't your people do likewise for 2nd Niger Bridge?

Railway network, deep sea port, world class bus terminals and fire stations, Lekki airport, everything. Lagos is building.

What is stopping YOU in the East from doing even 1/5th of what Lagos is doing?

FG must wipe your nyash for you, while you sit in other regions in your millions, refusing to go home.

Rubbish.

Professional moaners.

When Lagos state officials go abroad, they are looking for investment partners in all areas.

They go there to talk business.

Peter Obi himself said it, that when he was a state governor for Anambra and went abroad, his own people would be showing him choice areas where he should buy a mansion.

That is what SE leaders and governors do when they go abroad. Nothing else.

Just self-aggrandizement, and looking for where they can hide money.

Buhari is not your problem. You hear?

TheGoodJoe:


When you talk well said, you need to reflect on State Governors wasting billions of naira meant for poverty alleviation on irrelevant flyovers and skyscrapers, to use to divert billions.

That is a fact. This money can serve to equip local schools and deliver free education. It can help in generating large-scale integrated farms. It can help in supporting the growth of industries. It can help in revitalizing health centres and providing free healthcare.

Meanwhile the governors loot the money dry even though they are regularly receiving this money and then commissioning their elephant projects while leaving the people dry.

RobsonsTARz:
Preak dey blame toto for belle wey Lynda get

Nonsense!

Quintopia:
The FG is right. There are so many things you see goIng wrong in these states, and immediately we'll be blaming Buhari and the FG. Blaming the 'Nigerian government'. Such and such is wrong in my LGA because 'Nigeria is failed'.

But Nigeria has nothing to do with your problem.

The FG gives your state monthly allocation to the tune of tens of billons of naira each month. Money to take care of those problems!

And the thing is that the state governments have long known that the people generally blame Abuja for every problem in the country, and this has provided a cushion for them against potential backlash in their states over misplaced priorities in their spending, and embezzlement of funds.

If the Nigerian government practiced true federalism as it should, perhaps, the FG would be right to blame SG for the failure.

Taking all the powers and the bulk of the resources for itself, with little or no respect for the rule of law and sound implementation of people-oriented policies should be addressed first.

Then, we can talk about who is to blame for the living situation of the Nigerian people.
