This is not how to restructure a country. Restructuring is through a national conference and execution of the outcomes like the 2014 confab. We can pretend about restructuring but won't help us

patrickmuf:
What the Governors should now push for is a review of the sharing formula. This judgement will set in motion actions that will birth a restructured Nigeria.

Garfield1, you're not this insultive before. Hope all is well?

senatordave1:
No,let fg manage state monies na.ozuor

Any restructuring that does not go through the governors would fail. Local govts are not federating units! This lg autonomy only increased number of looters, nothing more.

Secondly, the state govt will not have enough funds to carry out standard projects neither will the local govts.

What we asked for was state autonomy with resource control,
not lg autonomy

patrickmuf:
Can please share your concerns instead of coming across as a pessimist?

When it backfires like subsidy removal, do not shift the blame!

senatordave1:
This is better than nothing.you can get the rest from Pandora

Is this devolution of powers or centralization of powers?

The more things change, the more they remain the same

BERNIMOORE:
Fubara has deceived those urchins Jumping up on CTC appointment, One chance

implication now is that FG Now controls whoever is elected LG chairman, The FG will easily select and this Gives APC candidates more advantage, so we expect even fubara chosen ones I mean the few ones he can influence to Rebel against him.....and join with APC FG....of course the FG will dangle the carrot....VERY INTERESTING....when a child is tall like the father, he got no experience and tricks like the father..

Nigerians never learn!

How will this work? Numbers of looters only increased.

sweetkev:
Everybody knows I'm not a supporter of baba Seyi, but if this is being truly implemented and I see a drastic change in all the local governments across Nigeria plus if at least more five policies are made, that will have positive effects on common man on the street, then I'll give him my total support and ignore the mandate he stole.

I am for the betterment of the masses, I don't care about individuality, tribes, party or religion.

All I want to see is a better and prosperous Nigeria.

When it backfires like subsidy removal, you'll say its not him but the Supreme Court.

Lets watch n see

patrickmuf:
This man has written his name in Gold.

Stop this pedestrian emotional blackmail!

We asked for state autonomy with resource control but APC is giving us nonsense and they'll say they've restructured the country.

This is not what we asked for

senatordave1:
Oga,read section first before uttering rubbish.Lgas are federating units.some local governments can form a country while some states cannot if we go by your nonsensical definition.end this childish bitterness...
They will loot but expand development to grassroot.governors have looted enough

Exactly! We should be pursuing state autonomy with full resource control, not local govt autonomy.

APC will now say they've done restructuring. We're being scammed and we're rejoicing

Meti99:
A good way to start but what we want is Resource control..

And who monitors the local government chairmen to make sure they use the money judiciously and not embezzlements

Rubbish focus. We should be pursuing state autonomy, not local government autonomy

megamank:
This is one of the best judgements given since democracy by the judiciary… LGA can now breath while the governor remove their monkey fingers from LGA allocations…
But all LGA chairmen must be held accountable for their funds released to them from FAAC and EFCC should me more proactive in handling issues concerning fraud…
There is still a lot to be done but this is a move in the right direction
Governors please let the LGA breath… the era of selection of chairmen is gradually fading away

What about the several jailbreaks we had?

PressMyButton:
See what this stupid dictator has caused. Putin has come to destroy Africa. Obidients were happy when the idiot took over power, they are cursed to always support failures.

Three arms of govt is different from federating units.

A federating unit is a unit that can run as a country but decided to join other units to make a larger country. In the true sense of it, a federating unit can decide to withdraw from the federation if there's secession clause.

This is the reason the states have their own electoral commission, concurrent list etc.

Local govt is under the states by design.

With this lg autonomy through the back door(using Supreme Court), we just created additional set of looters that will be doing substandard projects.

It will backfire like subsidy removal

senatordave1:
Section 1 clearly states that Nigeria shall have three arms of govt and three levels and clearly mentions them...
The local government have their own legislature which are the councillors.though they don't have their own judiciary,the customary and magistrate courts are mainly local govt courts.
The problem with Nigeria is the mentality and structure not system of government....we are too big and populated to have just two levels.

Our constitution did not specify three federating units. Nigeria is a comfused country, no wonder things are not working.

To have three federating units, the local govt must have their own assemblies and high courts which does not exist

We take a system of govt we did not invent, and thats working in other climes, turn it upside down to suit or corruption then complain why its not working

senatordave1:
Oga,our constitution specified three federating units and that's final

Are you serious or just being mischievous?

christejames:
The North should thread with caution 😡...




Tinubu supported them even with the incompetent Buhari, now you all want to abadone Jagaban?

We have counties but they're not FEDERATING units. We only have the federal and state or provincial govts. No single relationship btw fg and counties

senatordave1:
What manner of foolishness is this? Must we copy other countries or do what fits our peculiarities? Are you aware that in America and Britain we have counties which are equivalents of our lgas? What manner of warped reasoning is this

Check my history if you care to know

Max24:
Then where are you from? You are always on the forum defending Peter Obi. Tell us where you are from.

Reno is a nonentity!

This so-called local govt autonomy will not solve the problems of the masses but rather, would backfire like subsidy removal.

I'll be here to remind you

Tareq1105:
DMerciful, stop hiding your identity, say it so that we know how to tackle you.

I'm a proud Ijebu man from Yoruba land.

This your hiding would not help you.

Aren't you surprised that your highly rated Obi hasn't said a word about the judgement?

This confirmed Reno Omokri stand on Obi that he doesn't like local governments and he prefers it to be scrapped.

If it's burial now, he would have posted himself on social media but he will never add value to a national discourse like this.

The truth is, this local council autonomy couldn't have been achieved under Obi presidency. It's a fact and he knows.

Show me one country that practice this nonsense?

senatordave1:
What foolishness.local government are federating units.you don't even know this simple facts and you argue politics blindly

Senselessness

Tareq1105:
DMerciful, the only reason we are waiting for your lord and savior Obi to speak is bcoz we want him to display his usual ignorance and emptiness on public discourse in a public space. This will further confirm his stupidity.

You have no point. Run along

senatordave1:
This is a stupid statement

Shameless liar

rotadeco27:
What does he have to say here , he is guilty of the same crime. ST Obi didn't conduct LG election through out his 8yrs of his misrule in Anambra so what does he have to say: To commend or condemn?
I will like see if he has some shame still left in his thinking facility. It is better for him to just keep mute on this!

The way you guys get agitated about Obi be like say he collect your papa land

Obiedun:
That useless bigot has nothing good to say. Obi has no shame

How is Abia, a small state the focus? I'm not even from SE talk less of Abia!

I told you APC is sinking Nigeria economy, you're talking of Abia. I don't have time for small talk

Max24:
Now that the argument is on Abia you are running away. You suddenly lost appetite to argue. See how you easily betrayed your agenda. People like you don't want Nigeria to develop, you simply want your kinsman there. Well done !

You're too pedestrian in your argument

Max24:
In which direction is Obi and Otti taking Abia? I hope you know that Abia hospital workers are going on strike soon due to inability to pay #30k minimum wage. Let charity begin at home.

If you don't know that the judiciary is compromised means you're legally blind

celestineteryim:
but was not compromise in Anambra state when your messiah bitter grieving Pandora obituary win through the backdoor abi? What about abia, Kano, plateau, zamfara and many more

What is your source? Nowhere was Yoruba mentioned therein

christistruth01:
This is the Map!!!

Ebute Meta in Lagos
was a Port of the Oyo Empire!!!!

Adress what the Oba said. Lagos was a colony different from the Oyo empire ecen before the British came

YorubaNiBaba:
Lagos is part of ibo land, hope u are happy now

Go and look at Nigeria's GDP from Obj to Yaradua to GEJ....it was on increasing trend. From Buhari to Tinubu is not decreasing trend.

This shows APC is taking Nigeria in the wrong direction

Max24:
Did China developed without any hardship? Tell me any country in the world that developed without some sacrifice.

The judiciary is compromised!

Wike must obey Fubara
