His submission may not work. I would rather suggest regional government; where we have 1 president, 6 vice-presidents for our geopolitical zones I.e. 6 regions, each region with its HOR, Governors for each state in the regions reporting to their respective VPs, then L.G. chairmen.

Having 6 regions will bring about competition resulting in speedy development.

Each region will manage its resources, contributing about 10% to the centre.

Each region can enact laws which is applicable to its zone.

You don't need 6 "vice-presidents" who are effectively regional Premiers...
A Vice-President (like the President) should have the ENTIRE nation as his/her primary constituency.

If we want to return to regional governments...
Then scrap the states, create regions with fiscal independence, and if a state wants states it can create and pay for them itself.

Everybody knows that.

We can also do away with two-thirds of the House of Assembly.

We can do away with 24 states and go back to 12 states of Nigeria.

We can do away with so many unprofitable offices and save money and stop behaving like a rich country. UK Prime Minister goes around with entourage of 2 cars, Nigerian counterpart goes out with 20 times that number!

Instead of killing the economy with your new TAX budget 2020, you should urgently do away with a lot of things and a lot of unprofitable offices.

Dont wait until BBC exposes your wasteful living.

BLESS YOU!!

The Bi cameral structure is perfect...

The Connecticut compromise is well suited a diversity such as our...

Respectfully disagree...

Equality of the states was important to US states because they came together to create the union...
In our case of randomly-created units (states), of greater importance/relevance is that the legislature REFLECT the population.

MobilityExpress:
They should scrap the Senate, scrap the HOR, scrap the monarchy institutions, scrap the redundant Ministries and merge duplicated agencies like ICPC, EFCC etc. 85% Budget for recurrent expenditure will be saved, that's about over N3 trillion naira. This is the best path to real development, instead of the FG looking for more ways to tax Nigerian citizens to death. Otherwise, this country will keep going in circles and going nowhere!

Also, what are we even doing with 35 Governors? More than half of whom are practically non-performing and are just instruments of mass corruption and stealing. 4 governors is ok, one for each region, North, West, South, East. Commissioners should be scraped too. We just need 1 president, 4 governors, 6 ministers (Energy, Economy, Technology, Security, Agriculture, Education), and 144 LGAs (4 for each state). Then government recurrent expenditure can be less than a billion per year, then the remaining N4 trillion plus that would have gone to waste can be transferred into meaningful development and manufacturing. And watch how Nigeria will become another China within 20 years.

They should not be scrapped, but government should NOT financially support them...
Let each community (who claim to be proud of their 'culture') pick up the bills themselves.

We also need an elected legislature at the federal level...
That's the essential difference between REPRESENTATIVE government and dictatorships.

sapele914:
It is a no brainer, and the House of Representatives should spend more time in their respective states, and not Abuja.

Why? We already State Assemblies...
We need ONLY the House of Reps at the NASS (after a credible Census). Dump the Senate.

valarmorghulis:
First na okorocha, now fayemi is saying same thing....

That's NOT what Okorocha said (doubtful he's that smart)...
Rather, Okorocha wants ONE Senator per state, which would be a DISASTER (he probably thinks it'll be him).

What exactly do Nigerians want?

Someone risk her life to expose something wrong in order to put an end to it, instead of appreciating her and protecting her, they criticize her and fantasizing about her death. If she had been anonymous, the same people will say it is fake and challenge her to come openly. Do you guys prefer to pretend that these things don't happen and let it continue happening?

In fact, i blame her sef. I have always said that Nigeria and Nigerians don;t deserve any good gesture. Anyone who is doing anything to help save Nigeria is an idiot cos they people love and deserve all the rubbish happening in the country. See how they are bashing her as if they care about her safety in the first place.

BLESS YOU!!

You do have a point, a very valid point, however, this is what happens when you do something often and throw caution to the wind. You don't know even when it's a setup. With all what he said, it's the same line with all the girls has laid in the cold room. So it's the everyday for the thief, one day for the owner scenerio. A real player knows when it's too easy.

However, aunty kemi is on point

Disgusting, disgraceful and despicable that you seem to think that lecturers preying on young students is "playing"...
>

safarigirl:
I like how someone mentioned that the lady that wished to remain anonymous when she accused Fatoyinbo of rape, had her identity exposed by the same Aunty Kemi.

Aunty Kemi did not care about undercover informants when she was violating someone's rights to anonymity

THANK YOU!!

princeade86:
mama naira. aunty kemkem. truly, investigation must be solid with good evidence. I can remember the era of CID, they will go all length to the extent that they will pregnant for a criminal just to get concrete evidence they need. if care is not taking, they can sue BBC for their actions.

I hope they do, so that video can be replayed in court over and over again, and entered into official PUBLIC RECORDS...

GEJDHERO:
I was never really happy with this BBC thing,if you look at the situation critically the Lecturers were set up.I was expecting to see a bona fide students of their respective schools in the video .But alas unknown persons paid to set up the lecturers.This is not fair.

ilevic:
I suspect you are a lecturer.

What are you saying? Because a 'clean' lecturer would not be bothered by this documentary...

solmusdesigns:
divergence of opinion should be welcomed on this issue if we are truly serious with ourselves...

without real investigation i can never jump into completion, i am also skeptical about bbc'c motive

We Nigerians love to chase shadows instead of substance...

Who cares what the BBC's so-called "motive" is so long as they are exposing the TRUTH...
2 Nigerian females previously did the same with audio clips at OAU Ife and Unilorin, did you also suspect their "motive"?
>

OluwabuqqyYOLO:
Imagine Nigerians! And we want to progress? Welcome to the country in which it is wrong to report crime, the state that turns upon bravery and patriotism.

And to think that someone up there is saying some shit about respecting Kemi says a lot. Kemi that turned upon EFCC when that fraudster was detained. Dumb citizens. Later they say it's the government.

THANK YOU!!

Shibaraba:
I've come to notice that ladies with her type of lips are usually very proud, disrespectful and are chronic liars.
True most lecturers are hegoats, and there is need for them to be exposed but for goodness sake there are many ways to kill a cat. She Don do documentary. She Don win. Boniface Don nearly kill himself. Everybody Don know her. Congratulations. But na where she start to mention people come still add mama chat na there I know say something dey worry her.

Madam kemi dey craze we all know but na our hanty. No one disrespects our hanty for us. Telling her she is crying is plain wrong and shows the kind of abusive background she came from. The day wey you beat mad man na that day you go know say he get family.

Nigeria wey person dey kill another person because he no call am brother na him she dey do all these ones. I pity her. And wish her all the best.
Enu obow

We can start a gofundme for Sniper if that will help...

Of course, he should not kill himself (but being the DUMB gutless cowardly PREDATOR that he is, he might well try to do so)...
But if you or him think that will win him public sympathy, you are sorely mistaken. He should man up and face his USELESSNESS!

baby124:
Leave her alone! Nigerian cowards thinks everyone should be afraid all the time like them. She’s fine, her mother is proud of her. Keep your subtle threats and unsolicited advice to yourself.

THANK YOU!!

Call a spade a spade bro, mismanagement shouldn't be in the dictionary of anybody. No matter how rich I am,i can't go out buying Koenigsegg Agera,Over a million Nairaland Louis Vuitton travelling bag, over 2 million Nairaland Gucci bag, etc when a lot of people are dying in hospital, spending half of that would save lives and they would pray for me, stop forcing me to have same mindset with shallow celebs

Your "mindset" of detesting the success of other Nigerians is entirely of your making...
Meanwhile, the fact that you are apparently only interested in helping people so that they can "pray" for you says all about you. SMH

sinceraconcept:
Oprah is the only one that worth that much. Compare them to hundreds or thousands of celebs that earned millions of dollars but are still millionaires after several years or dead broke today. May you plan to become a celeb tomorrow,if yes, just try to make your life different from other celebs

Because it’s easy to become and stay a millionaire?

Perhaps you should also point out all those huge multi billion companies that are no longer in existence...
Or the scores of people (including doctors, lawyers and other professionals) who go broke and seek bankruptcy protection every year.

sinceraconcept:
How much did Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Zuckerberg, etc start with?

Cheap sophistry...

That’s a Strawman’s Argument since I never said that ALL businessmen started with hundreds of millions...
In contrast, you averred NO entertainer was worth over $2b and NO billionaire businessman started with a 10th, which were INCORRECT!

Yet again, quit comparing apples with oranges. For someone who claims to recognize that success is not limited to money, your position seems rather ironic. People who come from nothing in the ghetto to become multi-millionaire musicians and entertainers have actually made just as much a remarkable (albeit different) journey to success as white middle-class mostly Ivy-League educated kids.
>

Not surprising that a DUMB Nigerian preacher-con artiste with allegations of sexual infidelity would be praying for the DOTARD Trump who pays hush money to porn stars he slept with during his wife’s pregnancy, among other things. Anyway, don’t blame him. He comes from a country where there are little or no consequences to pay no matter the egregiousness of the offense (as he himself can personally testify).

The IRONY is that the borderline white supremacist Trump would likely be pissed if he hears an African Shyte-holer is praying for him. SMH
>

While some of Aunty Kemi’s concerns are well-taken...

There are no hard-and-fast rules for undercover investigative journalism...
Each situation is handled as appropriate. Those 20/20 reporters that busted 419ers in Nigeria didn’t remain anonymous.

immortalcrown:
The challenges of being a public figure, especially in Nigeria.

Anything you do as a celebrity will be hyped.

Many people have used strong words to mock the car. But Tunde's own statement is the topic of public discussion.

It’s for the same reason that celebrities get PAID for using/endorsing what many others pay to use...

For better or for worse, public figures bear a certain public responsibility...
And arguably even some accountability to the public that effectively puts food on their tables. He’s DUMB!

Sure, our naija artistes have more fame than money. That is what ppl don't realize. Davido is rich but still not very rich.

Fame is virtually currency...
It’s value depends on how you expend it.

Twin girls.

And the twin girls would now be albinos.

Nothing wrong with albinos...
In fact, we had albino models walk the runway at both Arise and GTB fashion weeks.

I know you will like Davido because he's not a broke nigga.

I just just dey pray make Yahoo boys no use your pant for money because your love for rich niggas no be here o.

You got all of that just from “Congrats”?
Broke Nigerian men and their misogynistic bitterness.

Wickedtruths:
What I typed is pure legal experience which shows the invalidity of the contract. You can't know this because your parents failed to provide you with proper education.

Davido can't sign endorsement for his living daughters, it's the unborn one he is signing for? Signing a contract to be performed by one yet to be born.
What of Chioma's endorsement, cooking show and Porsche?
His Jet nko?
Mumus like you swallowed the lies.

You're a big fool and if you can't have sense at your age, you're a hopeless creature.

Er...who do you think sign contracts for child actors?
>

sinceraconcept:
To some people, you have to have those stuffs to be considered living that life, other things you consider as end of luxury and possession are child's play they've already been having since they were teenagers. I'm not talking about his age. Since you were acting like it has never happened before for a 26 year old guy to achieve what he has achieved. Zuckerberg was 23 or so when he became a dollar billionaire and one of the 100 richest people on earth under the age of 25 and Americans were not saying "Yay,no be the same head I get this guy get? " Davido has actually tried for his age and that's what you should have said and not treat him like God. Life is all about levels and the way each individual adds value to the world. He also has some people he looks up to and humble to. Instead of thinking you can never get rich or that you're not destined to be as rich or richer than Davido,why not just concentrate on what you do or do you think you can't make it in life again? Some people are not as rich but have surpassed him in terms of achievement and imparting in people's lives, like the girl that busted that Lecturer for example should be around Davido's age but she has surpassed Davido in terms of achievement because what she did is potentially beneficial to every woman that is aspiring to go to higher institution,but,I know it won't be anything to you since you Nigerians see wealth only as the ultimate success in this world and see other achievements as nothing. Davido's music and endorsement is only beneficial to himself and his family, if hin no sing, another person go sing.

Dude, there were at least 2 others who have already done same - the girl at OAU Ife and the girl at Unilorin...
Please quit pettily pitting people’s success against others. Different people contribute positively to the world in different ways.

Celebrity lifestyle is the most expensive thing to maintain. No celebrity, be it actor, musician or athlete is worth up to $2 billion dollar but no business man that's a dollar billionaire started his business with up to 10% of what most of these successful celebs earn. Some dollar billionaire businessmen even started with not up to 0.001% of what some celebs earn and 20 years after,the business man would be a dollar billionaire butsful celeb must wear a cloth twice,cekeb has to come out with different cars, first class flight, 5 star hotels for himself and his entourage, etc
Business life needs prudence, willingness to live humble, accountability,being less extravagant,etc but celeb life is opposite of all these. A celeb has no business in being prudent, must be extravagant,limited time for accountability,etc. Celebs spend the money as it comes but business men reinvest the money as it comes.

Oprah Winfrey is worth well over $2 billion...

Even 21-year-old Kylie Jenner is already a billionaire. Meanwhile, if you count Dotard Trump as a billionaire businessman, then suffice it to point out that he started off with several hundreds of millions of dollars from his father, and if you count him as an entertainer he would be another entertainer reputedly worth more than $2 billion (if you believe him). Either way, you are comparing apples with oranges.

Meanwhile m you should know that a lot of those clothes, and other perks (private jets, hotels, etc.) are actually COMPED! And if paid for, can be written off as a business expense. It’s not necessarily an extravagant lifestyle that impoverishes celebrity but TERRIBLE investments.

Budline1:
LOL. Exactly o. Music money goes as it comes.. Ppl can do the math, they get money from shows, tours and sometimes endorsements, wouldn't they spend on flight, hotels, payback investors, record label crews, luxurious things to maintain a certain look, and other necessities of life. At the end of the day, what is left isn't that much. If a whole Bow wow and JD could go broke despite how they made their monies in Millions of dollars, who are Nigerian artistes? Music is a hustle and you must always trend and make hits back to back to maintain the lifestyle. They are simply over rated.

Anybody can go broke, not just musicians...
Even Trump filed for bankruptcy several times.

Meanwhile, while Bow Wow and ‘em may earn their monies in dollars...
They also spend such monies in dollars and have the IRS to deal with. Naija musicians mostly spend tax-free Naira!

Just be happy for others’ success. What these dudes have achieved is actually remarkable...
And quite often people who cannot acknowledge/respect the success of others rarely become successful themselves.
