The states receive free pocket money from the Federal Government every month based on their agreed sharing format via The FAAC, one should ask, what do the states do with their own Internal Generated Revenue .

How much does each state generate?

States have their duties that are distinct from those of Federal Government. Are there duties of the state government that federal government does?

How many state roads have Federal Government done and how many Federal roads have states done?

What are the duties of states that the states are not doing?

The same play book used in 2023.

Please, can someone take thos one to the nearest psy...........?

Support your Tinubu and stop disturbing us here abeg.


BS

FAAC stands for the Federation Account Allocation Committee in Nigeria. It is a statutory body that meets monthly to review revenue collected by the federal government and share it among the three tiers of government: the Federal Government, the 36 State Governments, and the 774 Local Government Councils. (Credits Google)

Most APC/Tinubu’s would tell Nigerians to hold their state governor responsible or accountable for development in and of the country. They do this to shield their god from being blamed for his poor and bad governance.

These are the same people who blamed Jonathan for everything bad or unpleasant things that happened during his regime. Today, no sector of the country is working well.

Well one cannot really blame Tinubu. When he "built" Lagos, cement was less than N200 per bag. Remember that according to his supporters Lagos was a bush till he cleared it and built it.

According to them, the following did absolutely nothing in lagos State:


Brigadier Mobolaji Johnson – May 1967 to July 1975

Commodore Adekunle Lawal – July 1975 to 1977

Commodore Ndubuisi Kanu – 1977 to July 1978

Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe – July 1978 to October 1979

Lateef Jakande - October 1979 to December 1983.

Air Commodore Gbolahan Mudasiru – January 1984 to August 1986

Navy Captain Mike Akhigbe – August 1986 to July 1988

Brigadier General Raji Rasaki – July 1988 to January 1992

Sir Michael Otedola (1992–1993)

Colonel Olagunsoye Oyinlola – December 1993 to August 1996

Colonel Mohammed Buba Marwa – August 1996 to May 1999.

And finally the federal government of Nigeria.

Now what they do not tell you is that FAAC allocations are shared as follows:
• Federal Government: 52.68%
• State Governments: 26.72%
• Local Government Councils: 20.60%

The federal government under tinubu gets 52.68% of federal allocation in Nigeria. Let this sink in: 52.68%

The 36 states get to share 26.72%. This means that some states will get mere 1% or less, yet they want us to excuse the one who gets 52.68% and blame the one who gets less than one percent. Please, can someone make this make sense to me?

To support Tinubu and the APC is truly difficult task.

Bwala was actually correct.

Buhari met $10 billion in debt in 2015 and left in 2023 with $45 billion.

Buhari Ways and Means (printing of the Naira) left the country with N37 trillion debt

Buhari was a disaster; he borrowed from Eurobonds and commercial debt that is now killing Nigeria, at an interest rate of 11%.

Tinubu gave us Buhari; hence, he deserves every insult we get. If we remove Tinubu, we must not replace him with another Northerner.

How much debt has Tinubu incurred for the country despite removing subsidy?

Buhari is 1,000 times better than Tinubu.

chinchum:
I am happy the president did not wait for all the design and technicalities to start this project. They will still be at design stage by now based on how Nigeria gets project done, meanwhile billions would have been spent. I remember 2nd river Niger Bridge taking 4 years at design for a few kilometers of construction 😄

Nigeria needs leaders with balls and not swayed easily by naysayers and theorists.

Any one conversant with project analysis should know about AGILE and this change is in the country's best interest and realities.

The naysayers said it won't pass Lagos when it started about 3 years, almost 200km of road built and counting as of today with location in Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, cross river and Akwa ibom.

The thing about hate is that these naysayers will deny the obvious.

"I am happy the president did not wait for all the design and technicalities to start this project"

Heavenly father I earnestly thank you for not giving me certain things as children.

Nigeria has not borrowed enough under Tinubu. Borrowing is the impulsive urge to egocentric desires and economic challenge as far the corrupt Tinubu govt is concern.

Now, debt burden, debt-GDP ratio and debt-debt servicing ratio is taking a huge burden on the economic life of this nation. All the things he has ever opposed he did worst.

Even though I don’t support this decision for cutting off the Ondo’s riverine communities (the real coastal region) to cut inland into Edo, have you listened to their reasons for this decision or you are just yapping without your oblongata as always?
Firstly, they are doing this in order to make the road useful and accessible to more communities and people and also considering the financial implications, it’s cheaper. I just blame the so called Engineers (and Umahi esp) for not doing their due diligence right from start.

Really?

So why did feasibility studies, preliminary engineering studies, preliminary survey, etc capture these BS?

Dogalmighty17:
In other words, the APC went to town announcing a keystone project, allocated funding for it, called anyone who raised objections fools and is just now going back to do an impact assessment and data driven analysis of the project. But we aren't stupid. We know the game plan.

Tinubu and his men used the coastal road as a ploy to develop hitherto undeveloped and uninhabitable sections off the coast. This project will also make every area in Ogun state the road passes through, a prime development spot. Land and property values in these two states will increase as a result. Lagos and Ogun state will benefit massively from this project.

The cunny man use am open his properties at the coastal areas of Lagos. He has large properties there.

helinues:
After the initial plan of the coastal road, some Nigerians complained why is the FG building a road where development is yet to be happening.

FG decided to have a replan and connect the road.tomthr main developed areas, why are we still having noise about it . What precisely was the initial noise for

Una life no easy.

FG has to replan? Why?

So what happened to their initial plan?

So what plan informed the initial route?

You should send your younger brother to China or Aba or wherever the goods are brought from to help reduce the prices.
Let him buy the goods for 1 naira a container and sell for 40 kobo, okay?

You are just red eyed jealous.
No one buys for 1000 thousand and sells for 2000. Few products generate 100% profits. Most Importers make gains from "turnovers"..
The Chinese are intentionally crashing the prices here to draw the buyers to their shops because they are the producers. Otherwise, why were the Chinese Towns that existed here all along not selling to you that cheap?

I spend over a million to run my visa issues.
I spend over a million to get the flight ticket.
I spend more than a million on my hotel, transport and feeding runs while on the road.
I spend over 4k usd on freight charges alone! Then i come home to pay over 20 million for a 40 feet container to be cleared by your Tinubu!
To tow the container to the east, I will drop an additional million+

Then when the goods finally arrive, you wriggle out of Ogbomosho and Okitipupaa to demand I sell for peanuts!?
Where were you when Tinubu started adding more tarrifs on imports almost every week? You were praising him because in your petty mindset, it was only the Importers that will cry.
So why are you crying now?
Nobody is holding you down, come and import and sell cheap..

Some Heroes Who Dealt With Hamas On October 7th

🚨INCREDIBLE: Karni Guez was at the head of a platoon of female tankists from the Caracal Battalion on the morning of October 7. She commanded 8 soldiers, divided between a Merkava tank and an armored support vehicle.

When the alerts sounded, she realized it was not a drill, and that something abnormally serious was happening.

Positioned near the border with Egypt, she received the order with her fighters to move north to approach the combat zone.

On the road, they encountered a first group of Hamas fighters in pickups who had crossed the border and were heading toward the nearby kibbutzim.

Karni Guez gave the order to engage the enemy immediately, and the platoon opened fire; the fighting would last nearly an hour, more than twenty Hamas fighters would be eliminated, their vehicles and arsenal destroyed, and most importantly, the infiltration wave on their position was repelled.

With this threat neutralized, Guez gave the order to move toward Kibbutz Holit. Her platoon then engaged in combat against heavily armed Hamas units attempting to penetrate the kibbutz, while maneuvering at the same time to protect wounded soldiers. During these maneuvers, the soldiers would eliminate numerous Hamas fighters, either by tank fire or by crushing them as they tried to flee.

With the threat to Holit neutralized, Guez chose to move toward Kibbutz Sufa, whose military post had been overrun by Hamas men.

With the main communication network malfunctioning, she took up position and engaged the Hamas men to slowly regain the ground.

Karni Guez's soldiers later received reinforcements from Shayetet 13 commandos, to whom they then provided precious fire support to ultimately uproot and repel the Hamas, after more than 6 hours of fighting.

They then launched a street combat operation, and house-to-house, building-by-building clearing, to rescue trapped civilians and allow them to evacuate safely. The Battle of Sufa would last in total more than 12 hours.

It was only around 2 a.m., after 19 hours of fierce fighting, exhausted and out of ammunition, that Karni Guez finally ordered her platoon to withdraw to their base camp.

The leadership and cool-headedness of Karni, who improvised alone, without communications and without orders, her battle plan throughout the day, and the combativeness, professionalism, and heroism of her soldiers saved the kibbutzim of Holit and Sufa, and concretely the entire H'evel Shalom region.

Honor to Karni and her soldiers, heroines of Israel.

‘They're testing us’: suspicious incursions in Syria revive fears of another Oct. 7


A series of encounters near IDF positions in southern Syria has soldiers and Golan leaders warning of possible reconnaissance ahead of an attack; the military says no connection has been established between the incidents and assesses the risk of a large-scale assault as relatively low

Yair Kraus | published: 20:57

Brig. Gen. Sivan Bloch, the new commander of the IDF's Bashan Division, had barely a week to settle into his position before facing a series of incidents along the Syrian border that soldiers and local officials fear may be more than a coincidence.

The first occurred Sunday night, when a 22-year-old Palestinian living in Damascus attempted to infiltrate an IDF outpost near the Syrian village of al-Hamidiyah. A soldier from the Carmeli Reserve Brigade shot and killed him. Only a mobile phone and cash were found in his pockets. Hours later, on Monday afternoon, two Syrians riding a motorcycle approached a police outpost in the Quneitra area. Neither was armed, but both ignored calls to stop under the military's suspect-arrest procedure, prompting soldiers to open fire. One was wounded and taken to Israel for medical treatment, while the other was detained for questioning.

"They're testing the terrain," a reserve officer serving in the sector said this week, stressing that these were not the first incidents involving people approaching Israeli military positions in recent weeks. Several weeks earlier, a Syrian civilian armed with a knife climbed onto an IDF position at the Nahal Golan outpost. He was captured and taken for questioning. The military said the suspect had mental health problems, but along Israel's northern border, incidents involving seemingly erratic individuals sometimes raise suspicions of organized reconnaissance, similar to patterns soldiers recall from Lebanon and Gaza before October 7, 2023.

"They send individuals and cells, doing all kinds of things to see where we're operating and how we respond," the officer said. "It reminds me of the period before October 7. Disturbances, one person here, another there. They're checking how long it takes you to respond, how you respond and from where you detect them." He is not alone. Many soldiers serving in the area suspect that the Syrians who entered the buffer zone, where unauthorized entry is prohibited, were attempting to gauge the military's response at positions located just a few kilometers apart.

The working assumption: someone is testing Israel
So far, the IDF can point to its successful responses to the incidents. But the willingness of individuals to approach military positions remains troubling. Investigators hope questioning the suspects will clarify what prompted the incidents and whether any connection exists between them. For now, the military says that despite the concerning circumstances, no common link has been established. Officials say they need several more days to determine whether a particular organization or other actor was behind the incidents and whether they signal a change in the security situation.

The working assumption: someone is testing Israel
So far, the IDF can point to its successful responses to the incidents. But the willingness of individuals to approach military positions remains troubling. Investigators hope questioning the suspects will clarify what prompted the incidents and whether any connection exists between them. For now, the military says that despite the concerning circumstances, no common link has been established. Officials say they need several more days to determine whether a particular organization or other actor was behind the incidents and whether they signal a change in the security situation.

The IDF acknowledges that it cannot conclusively rule out the possibility that the latest infiltration attempts were intended to harm soldiers. Regardless of their motives, the suspects entered areas where they were not permitted to be, leading troops to open fire. Another detail raising concern is that all three suspects in the latest incidents came from the Damascus area, relatively far from the border. So far, however, investigators have found no connection between them and previous terrorist activity or specific organizations.

The military insists it is not complacent. Its working assumption is that Israeli positions are being tested, and commanders acknowledge that no amount of preparation can guarantee complete protection against an attack. Military officials say there is no shortage of organizations interested in attacking Israeli forces and potentially civilians. Iran-linked groups, Palestinian organizations, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah and other actors operate in Syria and could seek opportunities along the border.

Accordingly, operational procedures have been tightened, and troops have been briefed on possible attack scenarios. The military is preparing on the assumption that further attacks will eventually be attempted. That, according to the IDF, is also the rationale for maintaining soldiers inside Syrian territory: any attempted infiltration would first encounter military forces rather than Israeli civilians. In recent months, Israeli troops have identified individuals gathering intelligence and documenting military activity in southern Syria. Some were civilians, while others were believed to have been operating on behalf of organizations seeking vulnerabilities in Israel's defenses.

The latest encounters are part of a broader pattern that has characterized the sector since the beginning of 2026. The buffer zone east of the Golan Heights has become an area of persistent, low-intensity military activity. Since the collapse of Bashar Assad's regime, the IDF has established approximately 10 company-sized outposts inside Syrian territory. Soldiers patrol open terrain and villages populated by Sunni Muslim civilians. Particularly in the southern Golan sector, military officials describe local attitudes toward Israel as deeply hostile, more so than among some Druze, Christian and Circassian communities. "Ultimately, there is no real, effective control over this area by any Syrian authority," a reserve officer said.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa's government has sought to demonstrate that it is taking steps to distance potential threats from Israel. In late September, for example, Syrian authorities announced the arrest of three Hezbollah-affiliated terrorists accused of attempting to position missile launchers near the Israeli border. At the same time, Syrian local media have increasingly carried hostile messages toward Israel, while negotiations over a security agreement between the two countries remain stalled.

‘The army is preparing for 500 pickup trucks, but 1,500 will come’
While the IDF investigates the incidents, civilian leaders on the Israeli side of the border are unconvinced by suggestions that the incursions could be unrelated. They are demanding that the military treat them as potential elements of an organized hostile operation. "It's exactly like the kites," said Golan Regional Council head Uri Kelner, referring to incendiary kites used along the Gaza border before the October 7 attack. "When one thing happens, you say it's a drop. When several things happen, it's already rain."

Kelner believes the incidents amount to organized testing of Israel's defensive readiness. "In my understanding and assessment, someone is pushing this. Someone is learning from it, someone is watching it. That is clear to us," he said. "On the other side, they are watching. They don't like the fact that the IDF is in the buffer zone, and they're preparing for days when they will begin harassing our forces over this."

Despite the danger of explosives and close-range confrontations, Kelner views the buffer zone itself as a crucial protective barrier for Israeli communities. "These are good incidents," said Kelner, a reserve lieutenant colonel and former deputy commander of the IDF's 55th Reserve Brigade. "An attacker arrives, encounters the IDF's forward security line and doesn't get near the fence. That's our lesson from October 7. We don't wait for them to reach us. We're ahead of them."

For Kelner and other regional leaders, the greatest danger is that international pressure could eventually force Israel to withdraw from the buffer zone. U.S. President Donald Trump recently addressed the issue, saying the Syrians did not want Israeli forces in their territory and that Israel should redeploy its troops. He also spoke about Israeli deployments in Lebanon. After Israel's upcoming elections, any new government could face comparable or even greater pressure.

Kelner is therefore demanding a commitment from candidates across the political spectrum that the IDF will remain on the Mount Hermon ridgeline and deep inside the buffer zone "forever." Katzrin Local Council head Yehuda Dua also opposes withdrawal, warning that such a move would endanger not only the Golan Heights but Israel's security as a whole. "Leaving here would simply be security madness," a reserve officer serving in the area added.

Kelner is proposing a three-stage strategy designed to institutionalize Israel's existing deployment. The first stage involves strengthening ties with Syria's Druze population. "The IDF operates there and, according to foreign reports, arms them, while also taking care of quite a few civilian needs," Kelner said. He argued that allowing Syrian Druze to work in Israel would serve both economic and security interests. "We need those Druze to come work in Israel, because if they don't work for us, someone from Hezbollah or Iran will pay them $100 a month. With us, they earn that in two days of work."

The second stage would make Israel's physical presence in the buffer zone permanent, with no withdrawal permitted. The third would designate Israeli communities along the border fence as a forward defensive line, providing them with substantial weapons and ammunition so they could withstand an attack without allowing it to spread farther into Israel.

For Kelner, the lessons of October 7 leave no room for complacency. "We're not preparing for the previous war, but for the next one," he warned. "There are 21 divisions in the Syrian army that are training and growing stronger. The IDF is preparing to stop an assault by 500 pickup trucks, but 1,500 pickup trucks will come. And then we could find ourselves back on October 7, big time."

The military, however, offers a more restrained assessment. Although the IDF acknowledges that a large-scale attack from Syrian territory is technically possible, it currently assesses the probability of such an assault as relatively low. Military officials say the capability to launch an attack involving 1,500 pickup trucks may exist, but they do not believe such an operation would serve the interests of the actors on the other side of the border at present. The possibility cannot be dismissed, they stress, but it is not considered a highly likely scenario.

Where are the motorcycles heading?
Katzrin council head Yehuda Dua remains deeply concerned. He says the explanations offered by the military following the latest incidents have done little to reassure him. "The army doesn't view this as something major, and senior officials in the National Security Council say these attempts to approach our forces do not become a strategic threat to the State of Israel," Dua said, describing the assessments he has heard in closed discussions.

He believes the relatively limited concern over motorcycles approaching Israeli positions echoes the attitudes that prevailed near Gaza before October 7. "I think we're starting to become a little like the Gaza Strip 20 years ago," he said. "It started there, too, with a trickle of stones, Molotov cocktails and infiltration attempts. Where do these motorcycles want to go? They're probably not coming to have coffee in Ein Zivan. They apparently want to reach a soldier or carry out an attack, and learn our responses and how we operate in the area."

Dua suspects that individuals approaching Israeli positions may be paid by larger organizations to test the military's defenses. He suggested that such networks could be associated with al-Sharaa's government, Hezbollah or Iranian-backed militias, although no evidence has yet established such connections in the latest incidents. "There are murderous terrorist cells here that send these attackers, paying them to test Israel's borders and understand how far they can get," he claimed. "There could be a much bigger plot taking shape here."

Dua is demanding that Israel impose a cost on Syria if the incidents continue. "Today, the State of Israel needs to be the side that initiates, not the side that reacts," he said. "We need to send a very clear message that if these incidents continue and escalate, Israel will also escalate its responses against Syria as a sovereign state, against government institutions, public institutions and gas, water, electricity and oil infrastructure."

Feiglin: All Palestinians must leave Gaza, including newborn babies

Listen to this article

“This is not war crime. This is called justice,” he said, describing his proposal as “the most moral thing that can be.”

Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin said Gaza’s entire Palestinian population should leave the territory, including newborn babies, arguing that residents bear collective responsibility for the October 7 attack.

In a contentious interview with Dan Perry and Owen Alterman on i24NEWS Israel Out Loud, Feiglin rejected distinctions between Hamas and Gaza’s civilian population and said the territory should be returned to Jewish control.

“Hamas is Gaza, and Gaza is Hamas,” he said.

Asked whether his position meant everyone in Gaza should leave, “down to babies born prematurely,” Feiglin answered: “Yeah.”

He then invoked the Allied bombing of German cities during World War II and the American atomic bombings of Japan, saying Gazans “should thank me” for not proposing similar action.

Claims of collective responsibility

Feiglin described Gaza as an “Islamo-Nazi entity” that, he argued, had lost its right to remain in the territory following October 7. He blamed the Oslo peace process and Israel’s disengagement from Gaza for creating that entity.

The interviewers repeatedly challenged his argument, pointing out that Gaza’s entire population had not participated in the attack.

Feiglin nevertheless insisted that residents should bear responsibility for the actions of Hamas, drawing comparisons with Germans under the Nazi regime and wartime Japan.

He initially claimed that all Gazans had voted for Hamas, then changed that figure to “90-something percent” when challenged. After the interview, the hosts rejected both claims, saying Hamas won approximately 44% of the vote in the 2006 Palestinian legislative election.

Comments about newborns

When Perry challenged him that assigning responsibility for terrorist crimes to an entire population amounted to collective punishment and a war crime, Feiglin rejected the characterization.

“This is not war crime. This is called justice,” he said, describing his proposal as “the most moral thing that can be.”

He went on to claim that a baby born in Gaza would grow up to carry out another October 7 attack against a child born in Tel Aviv, presenting the removal of Gaza’s population as necessary to prevent future violence.

“There’s no other solution,” he said.

Asked where Gazans would go, Feiglin suggested Britain, Somaliland and Arab countries without outlining any agreed arrangements for receiving them.

“You just open the borders and let them go,” he said, adding that they would eventually find somewhere to settle.

Feiglin also disputed widely cited Palestinian population estimates, claiming fewer than 800,000 people remained in Gaza. The interviewers challenged that figure, saying most international organizations put the population at more than two million.

Following the interview, the hosts warned that the policies he advocated could expose Israel to serious international legal consequences.
