immortalcrown: Nigeria is a joke. You don't want to give the governors the allocations but the same governors are the ones to choose who will get the allocations from you. Are you not funny?
Na still the governors go put their puppets in the positions. No be the rulling party in each state go win most of the seats?
The autonomy is just for the collection of the allocations, not for the spending of the allocations. Each parish will still pay tithes to the headquarter.
I support local government autonomy. But the new policy will not achieve the autonomy. Remember that the elections will be conducted by state INEC, not the main INEC. With this, governors will make their puppets LGA chairmen and decide how those chairmen spend the federal allocations.
If you think the chairmen can decide to disobey the governors, think of how many LGA chairmen that are clean enough to boldly and successfully disobey their political godfathers. Remember that the puppets selected as LGA chairmen are the ones with rotten profiles that can be used to blackmail and silence those chairmen when those chairmen prove stubborn.
The only difference here is..
If they don't do what they are supposed to do,, the people can rise and OCCUPY THEIR OFFICES..
The people can actually make demands on them..
Right now, people cannot make any demands from LGA Chairmen..
officialwdhtvv: Argentina National team under fire for singing racist chants which claims French players "are all from Angola" and “their mother is Nigerian" and that they ‘f**k transgender people’
The Argentina national team is under fire for singing r@c!st chants about French footballers while celebrating their Copa America win.
Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 at Hard Rock Stadium to retain their Copa America crown on Sunday night, July 14.
Before Argentina won that trophy, Argentine fans were filmed singing about how France’s players were ‘all from Angola,’ and how ‘they f*** transvestites like f***ing Mbappe’ (an apparent reference to the star’s previously reported romance with transgender model, Ines Rau).
After the match, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez posted a video of himself and his Argentine teammate celebrating and singing the r@c!st chants on the team bus in the wake of their Copa América victory.
The offensive and r@c!st chant mocked the African origins of black players within the French squad, including captain Kylian Mbappé.
The vulgar chant includes lyrics such as: “They play for France but come from Angola” and “Their mother is Nigerian, their father is Cambodian but on their passport: France.”
Fans on social media slammed Argentina for singing the song.
‘Argentinians are disgusting,’ one wrote.
‘Useless footballer. Useless human being,’ one said of Fernandez.
‘Somebody tell me this is a joke,’ another said.

This song is more-or-less a spite on Mbappe, just to make Messi happy.
And now, it was sang in an event that has absolutely nothing to do with Mbappe and France.
And other teammates joined to sing. Even when they have nothing against Mbappe or France.
004gist: . Bitter tout. You better go and hang ur self on the next pole wire beside u.
Bitter soul who don't like good for the igbo race better close ur eyes filled with hatred and face what goes on in ur state else u have high blood pressure.
If you care about local government elections in Abia state then you go a protest with Abia State Independent Electoral Commissions (SIECs
As for this thread it is about Roads built by Otti
Racoon: And for the ladies especially my dear momma and sisters back then, Saturday night powder is a must-have hand bag acessory. I still remember with nostalgic feeling when the blue band margarine is one of the most relished item on the breakfast table. Those good old days wherein our parents provide us some bits of luxury without sweat or pain.
There are certain things, which you need not think about anymore in this country so that you won't go crazy! Why did they allow all of this to crumble on their watch in the first place? I always pity the present generation. Hummmn
AcuraZDX: This picture evidence popped up following Peter Obi's post on the just concluded Euro 2024.
A Tinubu Supporter tackled Obi for doing more of talking as if he did wonders as governor. While he was on it, a beneficiary of the deeds of Peter Obi as governor countered the troll with picture evidence.
sekundosekundo: He promised to assess Tinubu's government after one year.
This is a man that protested against GEJ for trying to remove fuel subsidy and selling fuel @ #140 per liter. He claimed that fuel subsidy doesn't exist then.
Today Tinubu has removed the same non-existent fuel subsidy and fuel is sold at #1000 per liter yet Soyinka has lost his voice.
TELL SOYINKA THAT THE BEST TIME TO PROTEST IS NOW.
Let's wait for 25th December 2024..
That would be EXACTLY ONE YEAR the news about his promise dropped. After that,, I will insult him all I want.
If the Constitution created the LGAs,, then we cannot come back again and be assuming that we are TRUE FEDERALISM where there are not supposed to be LGAs..
This is not sentiments.. This is the Nigerian Constitution.!!
Was there no script for the movie.? Didn't she see the type of kissing in the script before accepting the role.??
Can't she back out of the production midway if worse gets to worst.?? (Although there are consequences to backing out midway.. You may never get any other roles again, because all the directors and producers must have concluded that you are inconsiderate).
004gist: Are you bitter about the road improvement or what? I don't get.
We are talking about road improvement and how it has helped the state to development here. If you have other concerns please direct it to appreciate department like INEC
Get Lost.
Did you see any atom bitterness in my comment.??
I pointed out the things he needed to do. And you're here flying around over your own head.??
Get Lost Abbegg.!!
... HE IS THE ONE THAT MUST CONDUCT THE LGA ELECTIONS THROUGH THE ABIA-STATE’S ABSIEC. NOT THE NATIONAL INEC.
They should take him to a federal high court immediately to establish these allegations formally.
Then,, keep the judgement handy.!! Because they would be used at the right time.
((If politicians follow judgements very well.. The verdict had always been that “the Tribunal does not have the jurisdictions to determine which date is the actual date of birth, and whether there are breaches that might cause”..
Thus, smart politicians are supposed to start now to head to the courts..))
flyinnizam: Talk True, would you respect who doesn't respect you? He left analysing Tinubu one year in office and attacked Obi. Respect is earned and not forced.
I don't know though..
But I want to comment on that news article. Peter-Obi doesn't have a team yet. His campaign team were set up by the Labour Party,, and that definitely was not the team he would have used to govern.
So, which team was Soyinka referring to.??
That's a typical see-finish. That's gaslighting.!!
Odewaleadesoye: Maverick singer, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has said the assassination attempt on former US President and Republican Party candidate in the upcoming election, Donald Trump, doesn’t “add up.”
According to him, the assassination attempt reeks of a setup by Trump’s Make American Great Again, MAGA, movement.
DAILY POST reports that two people have died after gunshots were fired at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania – with the injured former president rushed off stage by security staff, according to the Associated Press.
The FBI identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks as the “subject involved” in the attempted assassination of Trump.
Reacting via his X handle Sunday, Charly Boy said he doesn’t trust Trump.
He urged America to thoroughly investigate the incident.
obedience4: Meet Pastor John Mwangi of Revival church in Githurai, Kenya. According to him, the servant of God cannot walk on sinful ground and wants to be carried by his congregation until they buy him a Range Rover 2023 Model
John Mwangi, a pastor from Githurai, says he is holy and close to God. He says he can’t walk on sinful ground because he’s holy and close to God.
So this pastor’s followers carry him on a chair like an old king or lord. People are worried about this because he seems to be more holy than Jesus, who is the Son of God, even though Jesus never asked his disciples to carry him. Some people say that this is the end of the world, just as the prophets said it would be.
John Mwangi is a church planter with Sozo Ministries in Kenya, Africa, and serves as our national director for Kenya as well. He and his wife Triza launched the Juja, Kenya church in February of 2017, which has since grown to over 50 adult members plus kids. Your generous support enables him to serve God’s Kingdom in East Africa by training leaders, evangelizing the lost, and planting more churches.
