Enemies of Ndiigbo, this thread dey fear una?


U love your fake news with faceless people.

This is Ndokwa people declaring for ANIOMA STATE.

You guys should learn to argue smarter. Any state creation already requires a referendum. Just tell your opposition the voters will decide. Then cite the constitution to them. If they press the issue tell them to wait for polling.

Lol Nigerians journalist are dumb if they didn't ask him to quantify his statement. Only a mumu will believe this without question. What was the rate crime last year, and what is it this year. Remember, the NBS hasn't released Crime stats since 2017. The NBS was sloppy since it doesn't account for population differences.

Lol Nigerians are such hyperbolic people. Every other headline is doom, collapse or crisis.

Bulldozer90:
The state is not being created for you but for Anioma people who believe it'll help move them forward. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I very much doubt they need yours about Anioma state.

Take support when you can get it. It's not like there's not good reasons to say no. If new states are created, current states allocation will reduce ceteris paribus.

Bump

Whats wrong with playing for former coloniser? I'm interested to see what's bothering you. I'm guessing you feel they're disloyal to the country?

Obedients just dey find fault for FG, make dem leave am. Court dey always try to bring us down. We go overcome!

Agreed how dare they ask questions 😤 to their government.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the Ministry of Information and Culture to make public the agreement between the federal government and X, formerly Twitter.

Justice Dimgba held that the disclosure would allow the plaintiff in the suit, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), to assess whether the agreement complies with the exercise of Nigerians' human rights online.

LEADERSHIP reports that SERAP had approached the court through a Freedom of Information suit number FHC/L/CS/238/2022, seeking an order to compel the Ministry of Information and Culture, and the then minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, to give details of the arrangement that led to the lifting of the federal government's ban on the social media platform.

In the judgement, Justice Dimgba held that the disclosure of the details of the agreement between the Nigerian government and Twitter is in the public interest, does not affect Twitter's business interest as a third party, and is prejudicial to Nigeria's sovereignty and national security.

The court also held that the agreement between the Nigerian government and Twitter must still be disclosed irrespective of the harm to Twitter if it would be in the public interest to make such disclosure.

The judge further dismissed the objections raised by the minister's counsel and upheld SERAP's arguments. Consequently, the court entered judgment in favour of SERAP against the minister.

Justice Dimgba maintained that the minister failed to prove that the president had followed due process of law to designate Twitter as a critical national information infrastructure based on the National Security Adviser's recommendation, and issued an order in the Federal Gazette.

He also stated that the disclosure of the Twitter agreement is not prejudicial to Nigeria's sovereignty and national security or protected by the Official Secrets Act, as the minister had failed to prove.

The judge held, "It is my view that the disclosure of the agreement details as requested by SERAP will not interfere with the commercial interests and trade secrets of Twitter or lead to financial losses to it, as the former minister has failed to prove the same.

"Besides, Section 15(4) of the Freedom of Information Act envisages only natural and not hypothetical financial loss or gain to, or prejudice to, the competitive position of or interference with contractual or other negotiation of a third party like Twitter which could be affected by the disclosure.

"No evidence was placed before this Court pointing to the fact that Twitter has an agreement with another country as a precondition for its operation in such jurisdiction as obtainable in Nigeria.

"I believe that SERAP has a legitimate reason to wish to be availed of the agreement, which is to understand how the deal affects them and other Nigerians as far as the protection of the human rights of Nigerians is concerned."

He further contended that in most cases, the need for national security outweighs public interest, including protecting fundamental human rights.

"In this case, however, I believe that the minister's refusal to disclose the agreement does not come within the need to protect national security and sovereignty," he added.

According to him, the minister's defence is predicated on the Cybercrimes (Prohibition and Prevention Act) 2015 but that he failed to prove how the Act relates to the Twitter agreement.

Reacting to the judgement, Femi Falana, SAN, lauded the the judgement.

"We commend Justice Dimgba for this landmark judgment. This is a judicial confirmation of Nigerians' rights to freedom of expression and access to information online. We call on President Bola Tinubu's government to implement the judgment immediately," he said.

On his part, SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare described the "ground-breaking judgement is a victory for freedom of expression and privacy online, which is central to achieving individual freedom and developing democracy.

We need the arewa youth to issue them a quit notice.

Lol the nass pressured you to sign 🤣. Did they threaten to spank or impeachment?

EmeeNaka:
Why not reduce the state to 20 then?

Shut the Bleep up. That election was crazily rigged especially in anioma where lp votes were added to pdp

Make me shut up you pussy. Tell LP to go sue you loser or fight about it.

senatordave1:
Only El rufai conducted a credible LG polls and lalong partially

Yeah, El Rufi did a good job. Hopefully, he left behind a good institution to continue his work now that he's gone.

A complete sweep is crazy. Yes PDP would have won the majority. Certain areas in Delta do lean APC if you look at the last gubernatorial election they didn't sweep.

Kobojunkie:
There was no census conducted in 2023, thanks to Buhari making sure of that, and no one has said anything about it since then. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A Nation run by clowns 🤡 and inhabited by willfully ignorant people who couldn't care less. Nigerians don't care to know stats unless it's about their football team. This is why the NBS can get away with not publishing important stats for years at a time and doing it sloppily when they do. The crime stats and unemployment stats are prime examples.

Ttipsy:
Anything that seems to give SE equal opportunity is always kicked against!

Joke of a Nation!

Creation of new states will decrease allocation but you have about 31 states out of 37 states of ehh which are revenue dependent parasites!

Lol you're not helping you're case. Let's make a bad situation worse out of fairness to the South East.i always predicted the push for new states would fail over the shrinking allocations. I could be wrong though since people could value fairness over short term finances.

Even if it does fail state borders could be redrawn to rejoin igbos in other states outside South East. It's takes less effort constitutionally. The state ceding land and people takes the biggest hit.

Standing5:
The current formulae is an unbalanced one.

How can you be sharing money based on backwardness in education and health? It means the states are happy to remain backwards as a strategy to attracting more funds.
Sharing money by landmass is also unfair to smaller states that bare the consequence of harsh resources exploration. Landmass increase should reduce alloaction toward states because it means that state has a marketable resource that can fetch money.
Population also means a state like Sokoto wont mind mass emigration from hausa speaking Nigeriens. States will want to claim more numbers and we will end up with false figures all over. That's why we are 200 million in the first place. Series of false count based one on the last.

Water too is another I cant make sense of.

The only sensible criteria there is IGR effort. If two states exist and one is corrupt, it makes sense to reward the other in order to motivate the corrupt one to end corruption and deliver.

Your comments about how the allocation work in education and health are incorrect. I should have put how each category is calculated in the original post. You don't get paid for being backwards. In terms of education you get it for enrollment levels. It's a long read and most aren't interested.

Education as a parameter for allocation to Social Development Factor (SDF) relates to primary school enrolment which attracts 60 per cent of the allocation to education while the remaining 40 per cent is made using secondary school enrolment. Allocation on the basis of primary school enrolment is made solely on direct proportion to school enrollment. 50 per cent of the allocation on the basis of secondary school enrolment is made in direct proportion to school enrollment while the remaining 50 per cent is made in inverse proportion to school enrollment. School enrolment refers to public funded schools only.

Health as a parameter for allocation to social development factor relates to the number of State/Local Government hospital beds there are and 50 per cent of the allocation to health is made in direct proportion to the number of the State hospital beds, while the remaining 50 per cent is made in inverse proportion to the number of State hospital beds.

Water as a parameter for allocation to social development factor shall be represented by mean annual rainfall in the State headquarters and territorial spread of State: 50 per cent of the allocation to water shall be made in direct proportion to the State's territorial spread, while the remaining 50 per cent shall be made in inverse proportion to the mean annual rainfall in each State headquarters, using the most current live year figures, the same year for all the States.

FAAC

It's weird that the current states that experience high population inflows don't talk about this more. You do see lagos asking for and failing to get special status to funnel more money to them via the FG. If this fact was addressed along with states being able to establish their own tax rates, it would be as big an issue.

Ps: Notice income tax isn't uniform in the US states but it is in Nigeria. It doesn't make sense for it to be uniform in Nigeria. It ruins the competition between states.

• FAAC Allocation is paid on a monthly basis.
• Allocation is based partly on the population of states.
• The FG hasn't conducted a census since 2006
• People are always moving to various states
• If new states are created, current states allocation will reduce ceteris paribus.

If the states and federal government are not keeping track of the population regularly, is the FAAC Allocation ever correct?


PS: How FAAC is calculated.

Equality – 40%. Here 40% of disbursable revenue from the share of the States 26.72% from the Federation account is is divided equally across all 36 States. The remaining 60% of the 26.72% of the State's share of the Federation account is disbursed as follows:

Population – 30%. Here 30% of State's share of 26.72% is shared dependent on each States share of total population as determined by the National Population Commission.

Landmass/Terrain – 10%. Land mass of a State or local government shall be the proportional areal size (PAS) of the State or the local government to the total areal size of Nigeria, and shall be obtained as follows-

Areal size of State x 100

for each State - (PAS) =

Total areal size of Nigeria

Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) – 10% . Each State is mandated to contributor 10% of its IGR into a joint State and Local Government account to be shared equally Social

This fact that the dlc has been beat without weapons or amour

One might think it’s not your build but

-skill issue- 😃

I agree with I'm not that good. It's the 2nd phase of fight I die within seconds. I been most of the boss with mimic. There's a few I didn't bother with like like saint of bud since it didn't have big AOE attacks.

Celestialsword:
how

They can do it theSame way they did in Texas banned Porn sites. All they have to do pass a law threatening to fine them to death. The websites will block Katsina residents from accessing their websites. You really don't need Chinese style internet control. Yes they can se VPN to access.

I know this works OK being in Texas.

Celestialsword:
They don't need to travel to Abuja,all they have to do is just to download the app online

That's true until the ban those websites in those states.

vibratingpenis:
But the tax from alcohol producing companies in other states are included in the allocation you hypocritical muslim states collect, why don't your muslim states reject it?

Lol you guys are dumb. How am I suddenly a Muslim because I said you should invite gamblers and prostitutes to do business in your state. Btw I agree with you on the fact they should reject the tax revenue or be excluded from it.

Shadow of Erd Tree final boss.

I keep dying. I might respect my build if I can't achieve success.

Validated:
By the way, why is the Supreme Court silent on the LCDAs?

They weren't presented with a question regarding them. What questions did you want them to rule on?

On a serious note gamblers will travel to Abuja to get their fix. There's plenty of places to go waste your money nigeria. The prostitutes will just get smarter. Instead of walking the streets they will arrange meet up online. Hisbah won't be online look shutting down every listing website or searching every motel or home.

Racoon:
Meanwhile, they have refused to ban or outlawed the bandits and terrorists ravaging Kastina State. Stupid religious fanatics.

Invite the gamblers and prostitutes to do business in your state. You should be happy they're banning since it means more business for your brothel and casino. If you don't have one recommend some good ones. The good people of Katsina can travel down to unwind then go home.

DeLaRue:
I don't understand why the DSS and National Security Agency don't automatically tap the phones of all governors, Senators, local government chairmen, heads and senior executives of NNPC, NPA, and other agencies and departments riddled with corruption from time immemorial.

The courts might throw out the evidence because it was obtained illegally. Depending on the judge you get this will just lead to these guys getting off. The evidence act of 2011 gives them the discretion.

To anyone afraid the local government chairman will go on a looting spree be vigilant and remember they don't have immunity. They can be tried while in office. The best they can hope for is a pardon from an outgoing executive. That would be a hard sell if they have further political ambitions. It's debatable if a governor can pardon a federal convict or president for state convict.

Omooba77:
Supreme Court Judgment How will LCDA /A:rea council be funded?

They will tax residents to pay for it. Don't complicate the matter.

The Supreme Court was wrong but nobody cares about the facts if it doesn't serve their interests. They legislated from the bench to achievement their judgement. If this case is ever retried by a strict interpretation Court they will reverse the judgement.

Notice nobody going to argue the facts of what the documents say. It's just a moral argument about why governors shouldn't control funds. I agree with the sentiment but that doesn't change the fact the court ruled incorrectly.
