The IGR of Lagos - at over half a trillion naira - is almost 25 times higher than Abia. This minus federal allocation o.

Yes, we commend Sanwolu, but given the enormous resources at his disposal, he can actually do a lot better.

Chisave:
But sincerely speaking, what is tge noise about LGA autonomy. From the breakdown of the allocation, LGAs will be getting N329bn, we have 774 LGAs, averagely, each will get N435m. Can this even pay there salary especially their numerous ghost workers.

The good thing i see about it is tgat it will solve ghost wotkers issue as the LGA chaitman will be in charge and know everyone to their home and can easily walk into any office at anytime. They will definitely drop many workers that are always idle doing nothing, reporting only once or twice a week, gossiping about every trending news.

They will still want to do one or two projects, so they will have to cut down on unnecessary expenses.

I even feel this is one of the issue OTTI of Abia state is having with them. Having numerous people on the payroll with nothing to show for it. Come for capturing and verification, they won't come. Just idling away at the LGA Secretariat.

Infact I feel this LGA autonomy will allow State Government to work more as tge burden of paying the LGA workers will leave them and they will concentrate on various state ministries only which will be manageable.

I think this is the reason why many of them are approving the 70k minimum wage now. This are people that many of them weren't even paying the previous 30k minimum wage

Anyway shaa make God shaa help us in this country

Great points, but let's be honest, about 400m is not small money - yes, even with the current realities. Don't forget some of them get additional revenue in taxes from markets, transport garages, etc which are under their control.

What judicious use, they can actually use the funds to better the lives of people.

Lol. I listened to the interview myself. Was quite illuminating

Access has postponed the upgrade

Lol. Be like say na GT compose this one. Btw why have they not officially responded to allegations against them?

Kudos to Benue state.

And like his Rivers state counterpart, governor Alia has also been at loggerheads with Akume. However the latter, unlike Wike, has not allowed his ambition set the state aflame. For what it's worth, this is commendable.

It's instructive that APC won all seats, who are all basically Fr. Alia's people.

I made the post below weeks back when the shuffle was first announced. So the truth is, one doesn't need to 'shout' about achievements: they will always announce themselves.

For instance, as controversial as Wike is, there is consensus he is performing.

For me, Edun has been one for the biggest disappointments. For all the hyping, it's clear he doesn't have what it takes to move this economy forward. There is urgently need for fresh ideas in that sector. Some have also argued Cardoso needs to go as well.

Lol. This is hilarious. They are shy because there is nothing to talk about.

Personally I will categorize them to 3:

1.Those with passmark, just three of them: Umahi, Tunji-Ojo and Wike (yes, he is controversial, no doubt, but few would are argue that he's made impact on FCT)

2. Those just occupying space. No impact, nothing. The bulk fall in this category. Finance, budget, etc.

3. Then the last batch are actually moving backwards, eg. defence, humanitarian affairs.

God1000:
I don't know how I feel about this, APC shouldn't be winning elections considering the the untold hardship they've brought upon nigerians


This is why INEC should be given the power to conduct Local Government elections in Nigeria, the state electoral bodies are at the beck and call of the governors

It have very little to do with central APC, but more about the popularity of the governor.

Totally unnecessary. And coming so soon after his wife's unfortunate demise? Haba!

This whole first lady charade needs to stop. It's nothing short of a distraction and needless waste of resources.

Like someone rightly noted, Fr Alia of Benue has no first lady, but that has not stopped him from turning the state around (at least compared to his predecessor who was a total disaster)

SadiqBabaSani:
Even in Senate you distracting Akpabio

Werey 😁😁😁

phantom:
But idiots think he fell from heaven.. 😂

Even way before this .. he was recommended by the same Senator Mbata he's quarrelling with today to Peter Odili for Local Govt Chairman.


PS: Little kids who don't live in Rivers state are trying to rewrite history... those of us born and bred there will sit down and listen to you spew nonsense 😂..
Now listen or read...

1. Wike was recommended by Senator Mbata to Odili for LG chairman obio akpor and Mary Odili took him as a son... her pet project to make sure he became chairman. That's the same woman he's abusing today.

2. Amaechi made him his chief of staff which was well deserved considering the role Wike played in helping the former reclaim his mandate at the courts after the whole OBJ 'K-leg' brouhaha

3.Amaechi recommended him for minister when he was becoming too over bearing in Rivers state. He was so notorious that he could stop Amaechis convoy so that he could sign any document he wanted. He was and still is a rascal.

4. He didn't want to leave RS for FCT to be minister because he was nursing a governorship ambition and was unhappy with that recommendation. He capitalised on the beef between amaechi and the Jonathans at the time to further his ambition and warm his way into PEJ heart leading to the events of the video you watched up there.


At every step of his career, he was helped by someone... Funny thing is, EVERYONE who has helped the charlatan, he has fallen out with.. EVERYONE.. no exceptions!

Thats the idiot that is talking about loyalty and gratitude today... 😂

On a serious note , we need to check the mans sanity.. we may think hes just a stubborn, bold individual meanwhile the fellow could be suffering from straight up schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder. He doesn't talk like a sane individual.

Hmm. Interesting

Much ado about nothing.

FYI, I abhor his policies and governance style not least because of the pain it is causing Nigerians, but criticizing his vacation choices does not cut it.

Like any other citizen, he is free is go on leave to any place of choice. Tbh I don't see the issue here

hedonido:
Obasanjo, Yar Adua and Jonathan never vacationed anywhere abroad during the 16 years of PDP rule.

When we say that the APC has destroyed Nigeria, we are only putting things mildly.

Is sick leave not part of vacation? 🙄

Na wa oo. $13m!! 😯 That's over a billion naira. Wetin dem carry am do,??

tonero230:
Is it still normal. Money that was transferred to me on 1st is still yet to be credited to my account. I called zenith,they said the money is not in my account but I will still get it. Who else has noticed this plz

Have the same issue. Transfer since yesterday yet to reflect,

From their comments on this thread, you easily identify the chronic masturbators & porn addicts 🙄

Rather than go into denial, you guys should get help.

😔

And all the projects I'm seeing are basically nonsensical. What's the point of those street lights, btw??

Some of them have been media shy, television shy, radio shy, and he wants them to overcome all that and go out there and speak about what they have been doing

.

Lol. This is hilarious. They are shy because there is nothing to talk about.

Personally I will categorize them to 3:

1.Those with passmark, just three of them: Umahi, Tunji-Ojo and Wike (yes, he is controversial, no doubt, but few would are argue that he's made impact on FCT)

Na so we see am oo. My last Lagos to ABJ trip, had to go by road. That was something I never did for over 5 years on that route.

emmaodet:
It will not.
They are trying as much as possible to discourage borrowing money from banks by making it expensive but then, it will slow down economic growth.
On the other hand, they are also discouraging people from investing in TB by lowering the coupon.
Aim and objective - for people to bring out hiding money to invest in physical business in the country to boost economy.
How effective this will be, we will see

Hmm.

https://nairametrics.com/2024/09/24/breaking-cbn-raises-interest-rate-by-50-basis-points-to-27-25/

Hmm. Surprised they still increased it. At least inflation seems to be slowing down

slaawomirr:
Damnnn niggar
The soul of this country is at stake
Any nation whose leadership recruitment process is so fatally flawed is doomed
The tribalism hidden in every Nigerian is too much

If it was only corruption that was our problem then it would have been good and with time we will be able to fight it....but what we are seeing in Nigeria is beyond corruption....a very deep tribalism and hypocrisy....if you want to know that Nigerians are terrible tribalistic beings then come to a face less ...forum like Nairaland and see comments...

Hmm . . So this guy sabi grammar like this. . .😯

yungestmoney:
Good evening house,
When is the next Treasury Bill auction?

I believe it's this week.

Nakedman:
Lol. You all better learn some patience when dealing with Nigerian system 🤣

clearly. DMO says it's system issues, so we should take thier word for it.

Moreover since other FG instruments e.g Treasury bills havent had such delays, I really don't think there any need for panic.

CyrusVI:
"

Some half-smart dumbos call a man with an Academic degree up to a PhD level an illiterate, just because he made some grammatical error in a one of his speech when communicating in a foreign language. Something we arent immune to

Guess we now know who the illiterates are


I felicitate with winners, so i can become one. Those who wanna gnash their teeth in pains can meet on Aisha Yesufu's page

Indeed, and I guess he did he PhD in French?
Seriously? A holder will that will "bring insecurity to the state". I hear you. 🙄🙄

Not my intention to demean him, but some things should not be defended

Did I see PhD?? Even his Wikipedia page does not have that!!

Lol.

Chai.

Kobicove:
This is one of the reasons why I will never support the creation of state police in Nigeria...just imagine if it's state policemen who are answerable to the governor, would they have the audacity to ask him to leave their office?

Precisely
