FG 52%
States 26%
Ls 22%

Out of the 26%, Kano gets about 0.7% while Lagos gets 0.8. Lagos also gets 13% derivation while Kano gets none. Bayelsa gets about 0.6% and also 13% derivation

So how does it make sense to lump all the states together and ask citizens to hold their governors accountable for a paltry 0.8% when the FG is holding 52%? How?!!!

Dude, states collect 48%. Governors of each state determines who gets what.

femisplash:

It only does when you over rely on importation.

And whose fault is that?

I hope you know that devaluation leads to more money in circulation which leads to inflation as well

femisplash:

Let's even it out

States get 26%. 26/36 is 0.7

LGs get 22% 22/744 is 0.029

Cumulatively, that is 0.729 per state+LG

That's what each state gets on average.

Assuming FG spends same amount on each state, FG with 52% gets to spend 52/36 which gives 1.4 per state.

I hope you can see how fallacious your claim is now

Still the same thing, when you rely damn too much on importation.

The monthly allocations accrued to the states has seen a big increase since the removal of fuel subsidy. January 2024, FAAC shared 1.13trillion. In December 2023, 1.13trillion was shared, in November 2023, 1.78trillion shared. In August 2023, 1.13trillion was shared. These respective allocations were a big boost from 786billion that was shared on May 2023 at the tenure end of the last Administration. The President had a talk with the Governors over the subsidy removal and promised increased allocations to enable them cushion the effects and help them deliver to their people. So far, Governors haven't shown commiserable deliverables to the increase in allocation at their disposals. It appears to be that the Governors are less interested in driving the vision of the president than lining their pockets while their people groan and complain under their watch. The media are not putting the pressure on the Governors, everyone's eyes are fixed on the President.

Ask your president, States are being given between 3.5bn to 5bn monthly as allocation, junk of those fund goes to payment of unproductive civil servants.

Ask you president why the country macroeconomic indices aee not working. Ask your president why;
1. Exchange rate is bad
2. Inflation is high
3. Unemployment is high
4. There is price instability
5. Too much insecurity

Ask you president and leave those governors for now.

Dude, you need to understnd how the system works. All the 48% from all the states goes back into the same, one economy. 52%+48% goes into one economy and that's how inflation is controlled. Hope you've learnt something new.

Is there any administration that you never complained of the 5 listed above?. When there was about 5 different exchange rates during the last administration, didn't you complain?, When about 41 items were banned from import lists, didn't you complain?. When borders were closed and farmers couldn't farm due to insecurity, didn't you complain?. When there were series of queues at the filling stations due to fuel scarcity despite subsidy being paid, didn't you complain?. I can't help you if you can't see something different.

Yes I saw something different, and you know what I saw? I saw that the current president based on statistics is the worst among the last four administration.

At least numbers don't lie.

Good question to ask

No past Administration gave your Governors their highest ever allocations than the current administration. Refineries are getting the attention, a new Lithium is just been completed. So many positives in view. Go back to sleep.

My governor is not the one that removed subsidy that made inflation and food prices skyrocket.

He's not the one that floated naira

He's not the one that continued where buhari stopped.

My governor is not clueless and incompetent like tinupoo


My governor is not the one shouting ebi pa wa oo

Do you still wanna know my governor??

You are irredeemably dumb
It will be partial for someone like you to enjoy good governance. You don't deserve it!!!

Where does the 52% go to. Jupiter?

We've started asking questions. We are getting somewhere.

Joe Ajaero dey voice say dem wan run am street.

Nigerians are only ready for the betterment of the country when they start pressuring their governors to be transparent and accountable. The governors receive massive security votes from the FG, even more during this current administration, after the subsidy removal. But everyone would rather face the FG while forgetting their shares from the usual fuel subsidy are now in the hands of their state governors.

For context, Tinubu government now pays 2-3 times more FAAC to the state and local governments compared to previous administrations. The increments are yields from the subsidy removal. So, why tf can't state governments increase their minimum wages?

How can we have 36 states and only 2-3 are working? Lol. Since everyone has the liberty to run to Lagos to hustle the daily bread, let's keep deceiving ourselves.

Gosh! We are only smart on paper!

Nigerian governors are pathetic,they are the major reason why this country is stagnant.

Agboriotejoye:
This is a darn ignorant question
Whatever increase is there in allocation, FG still takes the lion share. Take for example your claim that 787bn was shared in May before Tinubu took office, and 1.13trn in August, 3 months after he took office. Of the increase of about 300bn which you're touting, Tinubu alone will take 52% and that is minus the big fact that the dollar denominated returns on that increase will be with Tinubu and not the state govs since he controls the CBN.
The state govs individually get less than 10% of the total increase.

Don't stop asking questions of Tinubu. He is the presidrnt after all. But does that mean you shouldnt look closer to home to also ask what exactly your governor does with the money he recieves? Do you think it makes sense for only Lagos to have a working rail system?

For them, it is logical to increase governors allocation by 250% but not logical to increase workers salary by a very reasonable length. Who are this people actually serving? The masses or themselves? The handwriting is visible for those who care to see.

PressMyButton:

But your Governors are collecting Tinubu's allocation. FG has increased your Governors allocations but you saying there's nothing they can do. Then let them steal your future away.

Which one be tinlupoo allocation, na your tinlupoo get the money, what nonsense

femisplash:

Is your Governor not collecting more money since the removal of subsidy?. What's he been doing with more money he collects?, he chases you away to go bark at Abuja while he steals away your future and that of your family.

Unless he wants to keep deceiving himself, Tinubu knows that governors are criminals.
If you want things to get to real people, the federal government has demographic stats of poor people across the country. Go to those localities and help them yourself.

When we told you people that you need someone with strength to effectively run this country because Nigerians are too corrupt, you people claimed that all Tinubu needed to do is to use him brain - the same brain that has now withered. Tinubu is giving money to governors to have good relationships with them ahead of 2027 - he knows the money won't get to the people...QED

We all live in Nigéria and know how things go here. Now, you want people to go and protest in their government houses so that those badly trained and frustrated soldiers will use them for shooting practice and hide their corpses later like Lekki's 20.10.20.

DMerciful:
It has not increased interms of intrinsic value but has increased interms of face value. The money will still parchase far less versus what half of it could purchase about one year ago

That shows that one of the major reasons behind removal of subsidy (availability of more funds) is faulty cos the increased funds seems not enough to even do what something less was doing before its removal. That move was a very wrong move and it's the genesis of this chaos in the Country.

kenny714433:
What would they do when there's Tinubulation in the land? Tinubu should resign

Typical brainless ObiZombie. These people can’t engage in rational discussion. While others are talking of holding respective state governors responsible for their state allocation, this senseless ones-kenny714433 just open his mouth spewing out gibberish.

The same thing they've been doing with the stagnant allocation, before increment.


Just because of increased allocation, you expect corrupt politicians to change their ways, all of a sudden

It'll only give them a leeway for their ostentatious lifestyle.

femisplash:

Dollar is too high?, Lol. Is the vegetables, egusi, yam, etc purchased from the farms in dollars?, is taxis paid for in dollars?. It's funny when you go buy a madu of garri and they say "you know say dollar don high", Lol, funny greedy Nigerians. Governors were promised more funds to cushion subsidy effects. How many people has your Governor empowered in 6months?. The 5billion palliatives he received, how many got palliatives in your state?.

You just dey talk......Cho Cho Cho Cho Cho.

How much is fuel and diesel?
Which most vehicles used to transport goods use.
And as an import dependent economy, any rise in the dollar would cause a proportionate rise in the price of commodities.

You people are not even smart.
Na to dey open mouth anyhow.

That is why Tinubu said na "statistics we go chop".
"Are Nigerians going to be paid in dollars".
That was when I knew the guy doesn't know nothing.

What is tinupoo doing in France??

do you think if obi is president governors will start using their allocation in good use ?

When we are keep pouring 100% complaints towards the center/FG, forgetting you have miscreants as Governors and expect improvement over night, we are playing. These Governors have stifled or rendered Local Governments( Nearest Govt to the people) useless.

These ones here are still doing my politician vs your politician, people who don't give a hoot about you. Continue wasting your useful years defending politicians, it's your loss.
