I don’t Know how the text you quoted even got there. I didn’t write that. Someone with edit and publish privilege must have inserted that

helinues:
Those who have been calling Lagos no man's land are now over doing it which is becoming so rude and senseless to the Yoruba's.

Don't let us take things personal the way you people have been taken it cos you won't like it.

Attacking a whole tribe because of politics should stop hence forth. Make una face the politicians and their political party without lumping the people from the region into it.

Enough is enough
Person wey never chop 3 square meal still get time to dey drag who get lagos

helinues:
Na as usual opposing any moves by this government.

Why should LG financial autonomy be given some people headache if not that they just want to oppose for opposing sake

givedemwotowoto:
While I like the idea of LG autonomy to speed up development, I think the states should’ve won the case.

The Supreme Court’s job was supposed to be to interpret the law, and the law didn’t make LGs autonomous

The National Assembly should’ve been left to do their job of amending the constitution to make LGs autonomous

Section 7 and The Fourth schedule of Nigeria’s constitution (Full text below) did not make LGs autonomous

Read


The Constitution empowers the supreme court to remove sections of the law that is wrong or not in good faith and put things right.

allthingsgood:
How many supreme court judgements have you read

allthingsgood:
I watched the interview of Prof Chidi Odinkalu on Channels TV regarding the Supreme Court judgement granting autonomy to LGA and I was shocked.

How can a senior lawyer vomit such obscenities against the entire judiciary, just because your candidate didn't win election. Infact, the comments made by Prof Odinkalu completely deviated from the question asked. Instead of giving opinion on local government autonomy, Prof went hay wire insulting the Supreme Court and the entire judiciary.


Honestly the man needs to be punished or at least called to order

flokii:
You're wrong.. the SC judgement will revive the Local Government system in Nigeria that State Governors crippled so they can sit on LGA allocations and divert monies meant for grassroot development into their personal pockets.
You don't know more than the SC judges.

Well done APC, renewed hope has renewed spaghetti

Wetin be this God 😭😭

ibechris:
An Igbo man is reminded that he can’t contest for governor in Lagos or even freely vote in Lagos. And same applies even in the east to be honest. But Yorubas set up a Yoruba Party in the UK & expect to be accepted & voted into seats in another man’s country.

OFFICE OF THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF WORKS

PRESS RELEASE
1st July 2024

FG TERMINATES CONTRACTS WITH MOTHERCAT, DANTATA & SAWOE AND RCC COMPANIES FOR NON-PERFOMANCE ON THE DUALIZATION OF OBAJANA-BENIN ROAD; SECTIONS II, III AND IV, WARNS THAT GOING FORWARD, ALL FUNDED BUT NON PERFORMING CONTRACTS SHALL BE TERMINATED

1. The Federal Ministry of Works has terminated contract numbers 6136, 6137 and 6138 with Mothercat Ltd, Dantata & Sawoe Construction Ltd and RCC Ltd respectively. The projects affected by this termination are the dualization of Obajana - Benin road, section II (Okene - Auchi) in Kogi/Edo State; the dualization of Obajana - Benin road, section III (Auchi - Ehor) in Edo State and the dualization of Obajana - Benin road section IV (Ehor - Benin) in Edo State.

2. The termination of the said contracts became neccessary in view of the inordinate delay of the affected companies in job performance and their failure, neglect and or refusal to fulfill their contractual obligations as required by the Standard Conditions of Contract and this has affected the timely completion of the projects and thus resulted in the expiration of the contracts by effluxion of time. The projects which were awarded on 3rd December 2012 were advertently abandoned by the contractors and no genuine commitment or good faith was shown towards executing the projects after accepting the considerations offered by the Federal Government and thereby exposing the road users to untold hardship due to the deplorable condition of the projects.

3. The Honourable Minister has therefore directed the engineers in charge to take necessary steps to enter upon both the site and the works and take the same over from the affected companies. He further directs the engineers concerned to, upon doing the needful, arrange with the affected companies for a joint measurement of work so far done by the said companies preparatory to taking over the sites from the said companies, and this directive is without prejudice to the exercise of other rights of Federal Government under the contract.

4. He warns that the Federal Ministry of Works under his watch will not condone acts of unseriousnes and sabotage by contractors whose plan is to become a clog in the wheel of progress of the Renewed Hope administration which is determined to change the ugly narrative of Nigeria's road infrastructure. He further warns that going forward, the government will not hesitate in terminating all projects that are funded but are non-performing.

Hon. Barr. Orji Uchenna Orji
Special Adviser (Media) to the Honorable Minister of Works

Iamblessed85:
If i hear that phrase “secure the children’s future” one more time, i may throw up. I will number my points as i donot have the patience to arrange my paragraphs sequentially.

1. This only becomes a thing when the wife is less successful and have chances of becoming the breadwinner abroad e.g doctors and nurses. The husbands sheepishly throws it all away to start from scratch. I have never seen a wife resign from a blue collar job to become a carton picker abroad. What is wrong with men? God forbid

2. There’s no evidence that kids born abroad are more successful.

3. A public university in Nigeria is better than an unknown university abroad. Afterall, it’s our own educational system that empowered the parents to be able to consider japa and land jobs abroad.

4. Kids born abroad are less likely to attend ivy league schools due to the cost. The high paying jobs would be taken by alumnis of ivy league schools and smart immigrants before abroad born kids that attended average unis.

5. The level of civilization abroad would become the baseline for the kids and they would take it for granted. Imagine if Shakespear were to somehow appear in this century. He would marvel at what the world has become. Here we are, we don’t even acknowledge some of the mind blowing inventions we have currently because it’s our baseline. It would be same for kids born abroad.


6. No evidence exists that you can’t get a high flyer job as a Nigerian schooled. For example, an ex PwC in Nigeria can also get a PwC or big 4 job abroad. I know someone who just got a job with Mckinsey in canada and he spend all his years schooling in Nigeria.


7. A dull kid in Nigeria would also be dull abroad. A kid with grace in Nigeria would also operate with same level of grace abroad

8. Japa to secure the future of the kids would place an unfair burden on the children in future. You would definitely hear some parents saying “ After all I sacrificed to bring you here” They will resent you for it and probably distance themselves from you.

9. If you are successfull, there’s high likelihood for your children to be regardless of their location. Afterall, they carry what you carry except you dilute their genes by choosing the wrong woman

10. 65% or more probability that your kids will undergoe a sex change or be initiated into homosexuality at school. Remember, it is legal for them to do this without your consent and you can get imprisoned if you try to interfere. The society will hail them as “brave”

The governor na mumu governor. No chairman has ever challenged a governor before talk less of verbal abuse. I miss Wike. He would have destroyed all they have ever worked for and confiscate all their properties

samwillyco1:
Both are criminals fighting for their pockets and not for the masses.

I hope NWANOIKE is still incharge of WIKE's personal LGA
