U are just dancing around the core issue without making any sensible point unfortunately.
Here are the issues.......
Are allocations dwindling to states over the years.....yes.
Has income generated far supercedes what the income was pegged on on the budget.......yes
Has govt given any good reason why allocations should continue to dwindle......No.
It's not a matter of governors knowing something but the responsibility of the FG to the people to give reasons why this must remain so.

Why are you so keen on displaying your ignorance about governance issues
And the people are not represented by the state governors vis-a-vis the federal administration
These state governors as representatives of the people cannot sue the federal government as they did in 2012 over subsidy deductions and Sovereign Wealth Fund

It is bad enough to be daft, it is much worse when one demonstrates such daftness as being smart

Demdem:

Ffuck the thread. Am here in Ph and the monorail area is a constant route of mine. Am not in support of the project but those pictures u termed fake aren't because it reflects what is currently on ground.

I thought that as a former journalist you would understand English as used in context, perhaps I was mistaken

patrickmuf:
Your post reeks of ignorance and extreme stupidity... Please use the "exit button" your propaganda ain't cutting it....

Point out the ignorance and stupidity or else

pendy79:
the onus and power to probe all the people you listed is vested in Jonathan and the PDP. The EFCC and ICPC are Agencies of the Federal Government,

It is obvious that you are very ignorant of the inherent checks and balances in the democratic system we run as you are so mentally indisciplined you yearn for a koboko-wielding, cattle rearer to flog your senseless and useless self into order while he himslef is the embodiment of disorderliness, lawlessness and corruption.
What is the role of the state houses of Assembly and the federal legislature vis-a-vis probes and investigations
What a waste!!!

Africa does not need great men, it needs great INSTITUTIONS - Barrack Hussein Obama, POTUS

pendy79:
Stop spamming my mention if comprehension is an odious task for you. Read the paragraph well you will see where it stated " if he is paid for the consultancy service he renders on the big IGR" there is no harm been paid for workdone.

Big corporations pay yearly Bonuses to the executives if they exceed targets. "Do you earn salary monthly where you work"? That's classic case of "where man dey work na there him go chop" don't compare soiling of hands in public tills with being paid for services rendered.

What service did thieves like Mohammed Abacha and co pilferers mentioned above rendered to the Nigerian State to merit the cover up and pardon by your C-in-T.

You are so full of your ignorance, aren't you

I have asked you a simple question - is this your Thief'nubu arrangement the standard in those places where Ikorodu indigenes and other Nigerians are hiding so they can send their kids to PUBLIC school free, have TAP water in their houses and the equivalent of states and LGAs roads all well tarred & maintained?
Is that the standard

Again are we so daft & clueless as a people

Demdem:

This is where I expect sane Nigerians to focus on. Why the shortfalls? Not only in rivers but all states. Nigeria is still selling crude at an higher price and quantity than what the budget pegged it on and yet incomes to states seems to be dwindling and we expect the governors to perform magic. Only jonaadaft can explain where he is keeping all the money, the fool surely is keeping them for elections.

Perhaps the governors know something their clueless daft praise singers do not know.

Are states not all represented at the Federation Account committee that shares Niger Delta oil revenue monthly

Did the 36 states not sue the FG over the Sovereign Wealth Fund?

Nigeria: Subsidy - Governors Sue FG At Supreme Court
13 JULY 2012

State governors rose from a meeting early yesterday announcing a decision to seek legal redress at the Supreme Court over what they called illegal funds deductions by the Federal Government, including withdrawals for petrol subsidy and Sovereign Wealth Fund.

In a communique, the Nigerian Governors' Forum said they will challenge "continuing illegal deductions from the Federation Account towards offsetting oil subsidy payments, Excess Crude Account and other unconstitutional withdrawals by the Federal Government."

Deduction for petrol subsidy has remained a sticking point in relations between the governors and the Federal Government since last year.

Pressure from the governors to stop the withdrawals contributed towards the President Jonathan's decision to end petrol subsidy in January though he had to reverse this after street protests.

Chairman of the forum, Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, read the communique to journalists, after the meeting attended by 21 governors and 6 deputy governors.

If indeed they have any shortfall in their federal allocation, would they also not have sued?

pendy79:
Tinubu met Lagos with an IGR of about 6billion Naira and left it hitting 20billion Naira monthly. I'm from itunpate in Ikorodu Local government Area of lagos state and I've seen the various impact of fashola from roads to schools to courthouses to free medical care to water to brt and if tinubu being the architect of the big IGR is paid for the consultancy he is doing then I have no problem since I know how my state was and how it is now. I love the APC and the change it symbolizes. "Where man dey work na there him dey chop"

Really?
And all the corrupt people you listed are not also chopping where they are working

Is that the standard in those oyinbo places where the corrupt practice of looters like Thief'nubu has chased our people to on socio-economic EXILE?

Why are we such pathetic, clueless losers?

Dejohnbull:
So what is he waiting for? Let him go & join Apc & see if he wil come back to Abuja & make silly laws.

How many laws [silly or not] has he/have they made since 1999.

Bunch of thieving loafers.

GenBuhari:
Nairaland Mods are no longer even trying to hide their impartiality.

They have ensured that the first page of this thread is taken entirely by anti-Buhari and you can bet your last kobo on the fact that any hidden posts are all the pro-Buhari post countering their lies.

What exactly is the lie

berem:
shut up! Buhari didn't not take Nigeria to OIC. Babangida did!

And is there much difference between the two COUPISTS and former military DICTATORS?

Did they not both say Abacha did NOT steal

Gbawe:
Don't mind the demented crackhead. Of course every Nairalander know it was an omission error and I meant vice President. He is indeed losing it with how he is now reduced to looking for omission molehills to make a mountain of. He is one of the many here who go over everything I write with a microscope looking for errors to highlight. I guess I should be flattered really.

And you think I will pass up the opportunity to highlight Thief'nubu's AC/APC HYPOCRISY of adopting Athief'ku back then

soroptimist:
Know ye these day all you children of hate and offsprings of bigotry,as your 'fore-bearers' who were drug pushers and pen-robbers ran when Buhari was our Head of State

In case you missed it, the chief strategist of you former Head of State's possible return to power is a man who forfeited drug money launderer bank balance to the aUS authorities

Arewa People's Congress, APC is just a bunch of chronic HYPOCRITES.

BTW, any chance for your CORRUPT candidate to apologise and renounce his FUNDAMENTALIST stance

General Muhammadu Buhari was in church for Roaches' daughter's wedding, so therefore Arewa People's Congress, APC is telling us to forget his religious FANATIC character

Some people certainly think we are senseless, useless cows to simply do Moo Moo as they flog us into discipline

Demdem:

Those pictures aren't fake but real.

This was the title of the thread with the pictures =>

See why the pictures (the impression they are supposed to give) are FAKE

Gbawe:
Kai. A picture they say speaks a thousand words. The General looking straight at Atiku while our former President could only look downward and away from the penetrating gaze. Sai General !!!

www.nairaland.com/attachments/1776588_atikubuhari620x330_jpegc2fd0895b2f55e491ea9d00b26eb4d1a

Your former PRESIDENT Athief'ku
Probably you are talking of the fact that Thief'nubu SOLE proprietor party, AC made him its unique presidential candidate in 2007.

calebo101:
Do you imply that it's only Buhari from APC that is morally upright to nip corruption in the bud?

Why is Fashola or Rochas not projected?

Because the Arewa People's Congress, APC was formed so the north can rule us again.
QED!!!

ITbomb:
Sorry Sir, it is a clear case of building strong institutions not the African big man that you are so used to after years of military brainwashing.

Thank God you are not Jonathan cos state government should run things in their jurisdiction without interference from the big man in Abuja, in that way we can hold the state government responsible for inefficiency, insecurity and misrule in the state

Beautiful post.
Let us continue the civic education of our folks & friends until our institutions are as strong & independent like those in oyinbo societies and we will no longer need to hide there as socio-economic EXILES.

Adekagood:
This allegation is Obesse. Wld Fayemi riggle out of this?

It becomes clearer why the Arewa People's Congress, APC is using all hook and crook to ensure Fayose is not sworn in.
However the will of the long suffering people of Ekiti state, freely expressed through their votes, shall prevail!!!

samseen02:
Is this why most food items I by in the market this days are even costlier?

Have you considered that higher prices for LOCALLY produced items means MORE INCOME for the producers, mainly farmers in this case, and generally to other citizens in the VALUE CHAIN who can in turn afford these items

The rational thing to do is ask those in agri-business how they are doing now.

Arch1:
During previous elections Buhari's vice Presidential running mate were:

Chuba Okadigbo - an Igbo man

Pastor Tunde Bakare - a Yoruba/pastor.

And it is even rumoured that Professor Yemi Osinbajo, a Senior pastor in Redeem might be his VP at the next election. So i dont understand what you mean by ethno-religious bigotry

Was the man not trying to win elections where a substantial number of voters are Christians What is so difficult to understand about that?

newguy1:
N some of dis country r tellin d world dey r poor, but seriously dis presidents way dey thief country money flex no dey fear God oooo n d funniest part of it is dat most of dir kid dont respect d money na to dey waste am b dir own

Why should they fear God whom they cannot see, if they do not have to fear their fellow compatriots whom they see

Perhaps our oyinbo 'superiors' know something about this God that we black, 'primitive' people are yet to understand

datguru:
Abacha stole just $5 Billion? Impossible . Its more than

Abacha did NOT steal according to his former employee who was previously his senior in the Army- General Muhammadu Buhari

Show me your FRIENDS and I will tell who you are.

naturally:
So where is the couple

They are not important for this photo-op to erase Buhari's ethno-religious bigotry from our minds.

Arch1:
:.. But i have never seen President Jonathan, the President of Nigeria, the President of both Christians and Moslems inside a Mosque before

Perhaps his muslim POLITICAL associates, such as in this case, have not invited him to a wedding in their mosque.

Since it is very important to you, you might actually note that GEJ breaks Ramaddan fast routinely with muslim groups in Aso Rock.
If you Google you might even find he has being to mosques to also attend weddings.

Arch1:
Thats General Muhammodu Buhari and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar inside a Church

So

Ekiti Court Closure: Document Shows NLC Absolves Presidency, Says Judicial Workers On Strike

Contrary to insinuations in some quarters that President Goodluck Jonathan ordered the closure of courts in Ekiti State, the state’s chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said the continued closure is as a result of the ongoing strike embarked upon by public servants in the state over unpaid salaries and allowances.

The NLC was reacting to a statement by the All Progressives Congress (APC), which through its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, accused the President of ordering that the Ado-Ekiti High Court Complex be sealed off until the Governor-Elect, Mr Ayodele Fayose, is inaugurated.

In a statement in Ado-Ekiti on Friday, the NLC State Secretary, Comrade Ade Obatoye, warned politicians against reading political meaning to the issue and stop having the impression that the strike and the recalcitrant posture of the workers to resume work was political.

The NLC stated categorically that the ongoing industrial feud between the workers and government also affected the Judiciary Staff Union
of Nigeria, which it said accounted for the closure of courts.

It said, “We want to state categorically that all workers in Ekiti State, which include the members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria could not have resumed when the demand for payment of two months salaries and other arrears and deductions have not been met by government.

“The impression that workers in the judiciary were being locked out due to certain directives from the Presidency was not only a falsehood, but also unfortunate as we have embarked on indefinite strike before the arrival of the security personnel who now manned the court premises.

“It is equally imperative to state clearly that we have never been involved in political drama that is ongoing in the state. What we are concerned about is the welfare of the workers, hence our resolve to embark on the strike after several attempts to make the government understand the plight of our members in the face unpaid salaries and allowances.

“We want to also inform the public that the Chief Justice of Ekiti State had earlier ordered the closure of courts premises for protection of lives and property in and around the court even before the strike commenced, and the CJ has not reopened the courts till date.

“The Chairman of the state chapter of JUSUN, Comrade Niyi Ogundare, has also corroborated our stand that the court premises was actually closed two days before the commencement of the strike, hence, court could not have resumed work under the present situation,”he said.

It would be recalled that workers in Ekiti State have been on strike since last week over the non-payment of their August and September salaries as well as deductions from their July salaries.

Heavily armed security agents, comprising soldiers, police and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps had since Tuesday took over the Ado-Ekiti High Court Complex over apprehension that some judicial officers were planning to commence Fayose’s trial secretly, despite the fact that the state CJ has not officially reopened the courts.

The National Judicial Council (NJC) that intervened in the crisis rocking the state judiciary had last week ordered that security be beefed up at the complex.

Arewa People's Congress, APC is an assembly of FRAUDSTERS.
QED!!!

Perhaps their "solid ideology and manifestoes" is to owe poor hard pressed workers their salaries & allowances

Lordlexyy:
Strong, grounded ideology and manifestoes followed religiously by members of a given parties make the party what it is and not the members in the said party. Base on that, we can't accuse and lump Apc with pdp whose manifestos has not be tried and tested at the central level. Atleast, at the state level, we can honestly speak on the sterling quality in leadership that Apc has so far demonstrated.

pascyj:
In Lagos,there's Island Power Project providing power to the GH,Island Maternity. There's another Power plant providing Power to the state secretariat and streetlights. Another was inaugurated recently.

Did you actually read what you typed above
Celebrating high capacity diesel generators for specific buildings/organisations as IPP

Chai no wonder we have cattle rearers telling us we are senseless, useless and indisciplined while looting us crazy as rulers

When shall we free ourselves from our MENTAL SLAVERY

gmcb:
SMH!!!This is the height of poverty. N500 to lose your dignity is dehumanizing. Working at a construction site at 1k per day or making building blocks from cement and sand at 700 per bag is more dignifying than this. Nigerian youth and women wake up from your slumber. Has the poverty eroded your sense of reasoning?

It is the terrible the sad level of poverty in our midst. Not just the poverty of absence of money but the more worrisome poverty of the MIND leading us to MENTALLY enslave ourselves to the two gangs of rogues battling for supremacy and exclusive access to our treasury.

For some weird reason we are just too LAZY to think and seek LIBERATING knowledge
Very worrisome!!!

What exactly is the ideology and manifesto of the Arewa People's Congress, APC beyond returning power to the north, which was what brought to this rotten stage that the Jonathan/Sambo federal administration is slowly but STEADILY fixing

Atleast, at the state level, we can honestly speak on the sterling quality in leadership that Apc has so far demonstrated.

Is it that you guys are so high on some HALLUCINATING drug
The poster boy of APC "excellence" is nothing but a smooth talking FRAUDSTER just like his godfather, the drug money launderer.

Below is a post from a thread in May 2011 on:

Lagos State Plans 114MW Power Plant: Fashola Does It Again =>

anonimi:
Abi oh, three and a half years later, has anyone seen the promised power plant by the progreTHIEF Fashola
Bunch of 419 rulers

PeterKbaba:
fashola! simply the best thing that as happened to lagos state and when he becomes president, he would lead us to the promise land.

That must be a promised land of darkness bought with billions of tax payers' money just like Obasanjo who is now the "navigator" of their national ship did with us at the federal level for over eight years

darqly:
Common 500 bucks? This is why it's important to our politicians for the populace to remain impoverished

Very correct and valid observation. Hence our state governors and LGA chairmen don't bother with =>

- TAP water
- education for ALL our children
- adequately staffed & equipped clinics & hospitals

these would have created EMPLOYMENT for our youths and reduced our COLLECTIVE poverty.

Obviously most of us are too cluelessly daft to realise this

Lordlexyy:
Here comes the south east cordinator of TAN. How does the topic in question relate with your post? Same thing just to display your inherent hatred for the opposition. Your post is an irredeemable case of chasing shadow. Why blame anybody but yourself for an agenda that is clearly working against the interest of the masses. Greedy and misinformed persons like you carried out the same campagin of lies and deceits during the Abacha era with songs and praises that Abacha was the best thing to ever happen to us as a nation, this was the effect of money that made respected individuals become bags of gabbage with no national value, pedegree or importance. Money is good and powerful, but it should never replace our self worth.

Did you see the post I responded to before writing your epistle

BTW, I believe you are quoting General Muhammadu Buhari on his junior who became his boss and buddy.
What is that saying again........=>

Show me your FRIENDS and I will know who you are!!!
