Ok

Why not give the states their VAT so they can have money for this and other things, I would like to see states develop railways like Lagos in doing

FreeStuffsNG:
The states are actually in a better position to feed the prisoners. When this happens, non indigenes who commit crimes in other states can be convicted and deportedly shipped to their own states to serve their sentences. You can not abandon your job as parents and think other states should keep feeding your wayward children by other states.

That can't work. Their state will set them free to save cost

lots of inmates will die of hunger

🤣🤣🤣wayward children indeed

Its right and better of if states responsibility of CC.
and people should also learn to forgive. Casese like fraud, stealing and Assault are so much in ATMs. Such cases should be stoke off.

how would kanu survive now?

Hunger go kill prisoners o.
This is no time to commit crime in Nigeria

I thought I read:

Hunger go kill prisoners.

Is it a crime to commit a crime in Nigeria?

"You can not abandon your job as parents and think other states should keep feeding your wayward children by other states.".
Yiur statement above is qouted to show how happy I am with yiur conclusion. Family breakdown is affecting our country and is adding more to the crime rate in Nigeria. States must be ready to feed their wayward. Indigenes. Whoever is interested can prepare his child as an inmate by his or her parental negligence and poor parenting technique..

FG don shift prisoner ontop state because 90% be state offenders. Plus all the money too.
Federal Government of Nigeria needs to step up their game.

Any organisation that demands so much from the Federal Government with little returns is always either privatised or shifted to state. While they collect revenue

Godfullsam:

All these prisoners, what are they doing on a daily basis?

Will they wake up, sit down and be waiting for food without doing anything meaningful?

I am just curious.

I think they should be made to farm and do some other menial jobs. There lots of land in the states, prisoners should be allowed to farm and the proceed be used to feed them.

Some of them may develop interest in farming when they are out of prison instead of going back to crime

Ever heard of the word "hard labour"?
Well prisoners here do hard labour if added to their sentence
If we were serious about manufacturing here your prisoners will be working in prison factories too
It happens in the USA

Lol. Make dem no feed dem at all. Who send them to go commit crime?

The idea is to work. That is why the Sentencing comes with " Hard Labour" the end. But the reverse is the Case here. I remember the first time I came in direct contact with an Inmate/Prisoner way back in Kano 1994. I was shocked afraid too! The guy came into my Office and asked if there is any Trash that needed throwing away or any Trash Bin he can help.empty. I nearly jumped out of my skin. A Prisoner? In my Cubicle of an Office, unrestrained, walking free with no Warder/s present?

Later I learnt that they usually bring them over to cut grasses, do some cleaning and then return them to the Correctional Centres in Kano. I was doing my NYSC then at a Teaching Hospital.

As time goes, I see them regularly and my apprehension disapperaed and sometime give them money for Gworro.

Back home in Lagos, my contacts with Inmates is usually when they are being moved for Court appearances in Balck Marias and them being held up in Traffic.

They are suppose to work and sometimes with pay.

oz4real83:
Buhari and his gang should be thinking of going down silently rather than the noise they keep making on behalf of the incoming govt. A federal govt that is always unwilling to share powers and collects revenues that states are supposed to be collecting, but still wants to transfer its constitutional responsibilities to states, is that not wickedness

You dey mind them. The states that barely get by before now,you now want to also include feeding. Some people go nearly die of hunger.

Instead of doing resource control so states will have more money as they are the closet to us you dey do rubbish and adding more to their burden

Some people are about to die of hunger cos states won't pay shishi. People that haven't paid salaries and pensions go pay for prisoners

Dey play .

I do hope the FGN will also shed the some financial allocation in favor of states

Hunger go nearly kill inmates

Say hi if you're reading this from jail

Blue3k:


Lol why hope when you can force the issue? Just stop accepting state law offenders after a certain date. If they don't care to after that charge them double the normal rate or simply let the consequences if their actions catch up with them.

The FG will stop feeding them from Jan 1 2024

Sltp:
Very useless people. Implement regional government and resources control or give more power to the state. You want to give them more responsibility while you at the federal assume all military and paramilitary powers? Idiot

Two third of the State House Of Assemblies voted in favor of moving Correctional facilities to the Concurrent list from the Exclusive list

sreamsense:
If the prisoner should be profiled according to state and then take responsibility in feeding them or send them feeding allowance, state like Anambra may go bankrupt.

And the four others.

perhaps you should pay a visit to a facility and find out

Cell hunger loading....new inmates better arrive with shawarma and fufu

True federalism is the answer to all these. You guys implement true federalism on things that are burden to you and fail to do same on others.

Inmates with gruesome offences, murder or long jail term should be killed with immediate effect

They're of no use to the public anyways

Praxis758:
Time to shed some weights.

The Nigerian federal government is carrying too much load than it can bear. Imagine a institutionally weak government carry 66 items on the exclusive list.

Not even the US federal government Carrie’s such yeye loads. This is what make our presidents dictatorial, authoritative and territorial.

Nobody asked the yeye federal government to carry those burdens.

They should restructure the country.

That way, states will take away their burdens, generate money and pay tax to them.

It’s only in Nigeria movie we see them farming. We need the real action of farming
