The South South people haven't shown any interest in any protest?

The Arewa group just warned their people not to be part of any protest.

Nothing like protest from SW people.

Who then are the people behind this protest?

People want to protest because bad governance and lack of transparency but vampires like you and your kinds are talking against it,what is really wrong with some you sef,are you not seeing the pathetic direction that this administration is leading the country to.

FreeStuffsNG:
The State and Local Government Joint Account was created because council bosses were looting funds and not paying primary school teachers. Since that account was created, primary school teachers are no longer owed salaries. Sadly, paying the monthly allocation directly to the councils would not stop the diversion of council funds.

States should stop the illegal practice of dissolving elected councils and appointing caretaker committees. Local elections should be free, fair, and credible to ensure accountability.

The two paragraphs above are part of the inconsistencies in the Punch Editorial. In one breadth it blamed the LGs for owing primary school teachers and claimed that the problem was solved with the State-LGAs joint account while in another breadth it admitted that there is the problem of illegal dissolution of democratically elected LGA administration and replacement with caretaker committees funded from the joint account.

Another inconsistency is boxing federalism into a certain mould as if the independence of LGAs suddenly strips away the operation of true federalism. India and Brazil are bad examples because of their caste system against certain people and religions in their countries. The central government of Brazil is taking over indigenous lands by fiat while India's democracy doesn't pretend that it's a government of the Hindus by the Hindus for the Hindus so much that the central government can demolish Mosques and build Hindu temple to replace the Mosques. Which kind of federalism gives central government the authority to impose religion on a LG? That's no federalism and bad of the Punch to cite both Brazil and India.

The Supreme Court is in order by insisting that the LGAs democratically elected leaders can never be effective unless they enjoy financial autonomy. The constitution never denied or affirmed the LGAs financial autonomy so the SC is not wrong by recognizing that the same independence the federating States could exercise is because of their financial autonomy and same privilege should be extended to LGAs.

Primary School teachers were equally indicted too when it was discovered that many of them were always absent from work and many barely qualified to teach. That's the problem of TRCN that should ensure that only professional teachers in its national register are recruited , it's not entirely the fault of the LGAs. If the payment of primary school teachers will be a problem then their salaries should be deducted from source so that no LG executive will tamper with their salaries. The rest should be monitored by EFCC and NFIU. If possible build special courts to quickly prosecute and severely punish any corrupt LG official and/or traditional institution Head.

That state-LG joint account arrangement is nothing more than a piggy bank for some state Governors and that's the weapon they use to remove democratically elected LG executives and even strip the traditional institutions of funds and render them impotent ,so much that insecurity has taken over and some Community Heads and royal authorities are at the mercy of rich bandits,
cultists and criminals who can easily buy their loyalty by placing them on their payroll with the illicit funds from their crimes. In Edo state, there's already complaint by the Gov that the Oba is using cultists to collect ishakole to run its operation when it should be funded by the LGAs and not hiring alleged cultists he is now blaming for the insecurity in Benin.

A thousand Peter shit obi can never ever be at the same level of wole soyinka,your Peter obi is a shit conman that ruled anambra for 8 years and didn't do shit.

They are not recognized in the constitution as such they can't be payed anything from the federal allocations,they are state gove creations so their business is with Lagos state.

Hahahahahahahaha,D about to me married man knack married woman to death,chaii.

When did Peter obi leave government? The fraud conducted local government elections just months before leaving government and yet you are here singing his praises like a dutiful sycophant.

This is a well detailed reply,this is how I want people to make their arguments,very clear and precise.

These Zionists psychopaths are still holding on to a theory that has been debunked,very useless people with their demonic lying mouths, nobody wants to near them, Jewish pigs.

These legislators are gonners,they will never get their seats back.

Just imagine the nonsense, imagine the type of leaders that we have and the priests who are supposed to know better went ahead to collect it, useless people everywhere.

Why are we lamenting that selfish foreign companies that have been destroying the country for decades now are leaving? Their leaving have have created a vacuum so any serious government will know how to fill that vacuum with new investors either locally ( which I prefer) or foreign but with strict conditions for those foreign companies that will make sure that Nigeria and her citizens benefit from the move.

The nigerian judicial system is messed up sha because how can you say that a state high court lacks the jurisdiction to hear a case concerning state house of assembly embers,I just tire for our constitution and judiciary,of it was to be a federal law maker,then I will understand,but these guys are state law makers.

LMAOOO,that guy say wetin Carry am enter bank today hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Lmao,Una too MUMU. You people are simpletons chaiiiiiii.

001Lagos:
You cannot see the likes of MC Oluomo in a sane clime . It is only in Lagos that you see the likes of Oluomo

The likes of Oluomo are thrown behind bars in sane clime but in Lagos, the likes of MC are worshipped because he's the only reason Tinubu is winning in Lagos.

Yen yen yen yen yen,the worst people live and dictate politicians and.politics in that so-called rubbish sane world you are talking about but they do it behind your gaze,I keep on saying it,the way you people think naively was the same way our ancestors that where conquered and enslaved by those British animals thought naively also, Christopher Columbus wrote in the diary that when he traveled to those foreign lands,the people naively brought out precious jewels to welcome his entourage naively,and he felt sorry for them because they thought he was a nice person, British criminals are a 100 times worse than mc oluomu and co and yes they do influence elections also.

She is British born and bred and also her mother is Trinidad,una too like to they claim all these outside born people,her father is Nigerian I know but she ain't Nigerian in anything so leave all this famzing and grow your own people.

BigDawsNet:
He has done his part…

Let hope the new PM will resurrect the UK back to where he belongs

Resurrect them to where ? LMAO,the British whatever is dead and buried,they will never matter anymore nor be important anymore,they allowed themselves to be stooges of the united states and thus they made themselves unpopular,the days of empire is long gone anyway and what is remaining now is for them to suffer a brutal defeat in a war and then the wishes of billions of people whom they (British) trampled upon and stole from to gain their ill-gotten wealth will be fulfilled.

Commentators here don't know a inch about British politics but still they want to comment.

LMAO, propaganda have been exposed.

Una go cry tire,obi will never be president, Nigeria does not owe the igbos anything and no matter how una try to form fake victimhood reach, nobody send Una,you people are vile and evil and you have never ever since the beginning wished Nigeria well,you always fight for your selfish interests thats why nobody takes you seriously,if it's the igbos that have the majority and influence like the hausa/fulanis ehn, the other parts of Nigeria for don burn.
I have been a witness of how a Yoruba guy that was transferred to seplat in imo as a facility manager was chased out by igbo people openly during working hours just because he is not igbo and also how all the top management positions there are also occupied by igbos only.mr man na una dey do Unaselves.

They have done this before during the buhari administration but the state governments refuse to assent to it.

Why is he not mobilizing the protest himself,this short ugly dumb coward of a man will put you all in trouble with his stupid tweets.
